the methods that have been adopted in the negotiations. The success or fail llre of the president in foreign matters Weeks said, would be the chief factor in determining the fate of the demo- cratic party at the next presidential election.
 When the time comes, Weeks added, the diplomatic contentious with Mexi- co, Saiito Domingo and Haiti may be considered by the people, as well as the European affairs.
 "The killing by Mexicans of Ameri- can citizens in Mexico. and on Ameri- can soil, and the destruction of prop ertY owned by Americans in Mexico brings out one of the numerous incon- sistencIes of the administration said Weeks.
 "As a result the Pan American con ference here urges Americans to un- dertake enterprises in Central and South American countries. William Jennings Bryan even suggested the issue of bonds to aid in the develop ment of those countries. All this seems ridiculous when we know that for the past two years the admins = tration has failed to protect American owned property in Mexico. telling the owners that the government would become involved by protecting prop erty of individuals who expected to i1"iake a high profit out of their ven itures.'

Seemingly, However, Allies Offensive Movement Is Not Being Carried On with Impetuosity Char acterizing Early Moves. FROM HILLS THEY
 DOMINATE RAILWAY Both British and French Improve Positions and Next Attempt to Win a Decisive Victory Should Be Made Easier.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

1 LONDON, Sept 2S.-m Champagne | the French attacking the German sec ond line of trenches are making fur ther progress. but seemingly the allies offensive mOVemest is not being car ried on with the same impetuosity which characterized the first two days operations. The successes are recognized as very important but the main object which is to break through the German lines. has not yet been accomplished. Both the British and French have improved their positions. by gaining hills and crests from which they can dominate the German lines of communication. and their next attempt to win decisive victory should be made easier, according to the view of experts here. The battle of Champagne is over a sixteen mile front. There is a great divergence in the German and French official ac- counts of the battle. The Germans claim that all French attacks were repulsed.
 The French continue to push for ward east of Souchez aiming at the Heights of Viny. which command the plain to the east, while the British to the north are making secure hold on the Lens-La- Bassee road. beating off the German counter attacks.
 At Champagne the French are at tacking now within less than two miles of the railway which crosses the country behind the German positions, and which has been so useful to them in moving their troops and supplies to the threatened points.
 With French guns within easy range the railway is rendered useless. There has been no cessation of the heavy fighting along the Russian front. From Riga down to Galicia the armies are contesting every inch of ground and at least four separate bat ties are in progress. General von Hindenberg has resumed an effort to reach Dvinsk. The Germans announce the Russians have been driven from two successive lines of trenches south west of Dvinsk. Except for Field Marshal won Mackensen. who is held at the Pripet marshes, all the German generals report advances, even Von Linsingen, whose army was handled roughly by the Russians in Volhynia. Russian General Ivanoff is holding the Austrians back and still is gaining ground.
