France, June 15:—The Germans
bave not recovered from the se-
vere blow they received on the
French left flank, where through-
out the night and this morning
the battle had quieted down,
giving the Allies full opportunity
to establish themselves strongly
Further to the east, around the
center, the French toak the ini-
tiative, delivering a number of
small and’ successful counter-
attacks, As a consequence, the
village of Melicocq and the im-
portant height of Croix . Ricarde
were retaken. Probably for the
purpose of “making the Allies
move their reserves toward the
right flank, the Germans started
a big diversion in the vicinity of
the forest of Villers’ Gotterets.
The enemy progressed. slightly,
and obtained a footing in Coeuvres
but this does not improve the
situation, Five German divisions
participated, two of which had
just reached the battlefield. The
attack extended along a front of
four miles, but met such opposi-
tion from the French that the
enemy apparently renounced his
efforts,
