This country is we'll represented

Expects to Have Warsaw In Hand In
Few Days and Then Would
Crush France.

Popular German General VIII Head
Next Drive to Calais and Paris
Thinks Austria Can Handle Italy.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SINS.

Paris, July l9.-Quick capture Of
Warsaw, then a crushing drive south
ward TO the French channel ports. and
finally triumphal entry into Paris
that lie what the Kaiser Is believed to
have meant when he said a few days
ago: Germany will win the war by
October"
But France is amply prepared for
any mad en- masse drive on the capital.
Military men and stretegic writers
here are not worrying over the
kaiser's plans
Let the Germans start" said
high off1cisl today ''JofTre will he
there. and when they drop their guard
he will send in the knockout
punch"
Because Of it's close connection with
future developments on the Franco
Flanders front. the great battle being
waged for Warsaw holds Paris tense
with excitement. Not since the Ger
mans attempted to reach Paris last
summer have the street crowds fol-
lowed the bulletin boards so closely.
The map fans are following every
move OF the Russian and German
armies with their pins and flags.
Hindenberg StiIl Popular.
From Swiss sources II is learned
here that General Won Hindenberg, far
from being in disgrace" is really
in high favor with the German EN-
peror. Before the Warsaw campaign
was started he held two important
conferences with the Kaiser, 1t was
reported here that he was told IL
he could squeeze the Russians out
of Warsaw he would be given SUI
preme command of the German forces
In the west for the great drive on
Calais and Paris. while other COM
snanders were assigned to the task of
sweeping the French out of Alsace.
The Kaiser. according to Swiss re-
ports, is said 10 have declared that
even the defeat of new dash on
Paris would bring the allies to terms.
He argued that the French must with
draw their forces from Alsace to meet
the new German offensive, and that
the allies thereby would lose their
last hold on German soil and be will
ing to make peace.
Austria, the Kaiser Ia understood to
believe, can take care of Italy with
out German assistance.

CARRANzA FORCES
HAVE LEFT MEXICO CITY

Washington, July 1.-the forces
of carranza have been compelled to
vacate Mexico City and accordingly
carranza prospects for recognition by
the United States are not a. bright as
they were.
News of the retirement of the Car
ranzistas from Mexico City was re-
ceived at the State Department to-
day from off1eial sources. General
Gonzales issued pronouncement
which was cabled to Washington. stat
ing that he was leaving the city tenn
porarily to meet the enemy, who, ne
said, was committing outrages In the
surrounding country
Dispatches come from other sources
saying that General Gonzales will

evacuation of Mexico City came as
surprise to officials, who were begin

ment. Indications are that Villa Is

Italian War Not Selfish.

That there was a real popular de-
mand in Italy for war, not based on
national advantage. Is the assertion of
writer In The New Republic.
THE newspa pefs did not tell us all
in those trying weeks before the break
with Austria. II Is no exaggeration
to say that In the few days which fol-
lowed the resignation of the Salandra
Cabinet when Giolitti. like an evil &C.
rtus lowered about Rome. Italy. all
that was best of .t-and tne best was

derwent yeritabfe agony Up in the
unconditional North nfer wept for rage
and grief at the possibility OF Son
nino's anti-Austrian lead being per-
manently defeated. And this not mere
~ because they saw their own free
dom and interests al stake They
knew themselves Joined in soul with
other nations in a common struggle
and common test. Poor unlearned
peasants. who knew little OF politics
and cared less, followed the main is
sues of the war with the perspicaeity
of NE simple for the large things of
life; and when the Lusitania was
sunk. rough mountaineers of Piedmont
cried, II Is not Engiand's enemy alone

AND WATER STATESMAN

New York. July 1S.-Colonel Roose-
velt in an article In the August Metro
poiitan. calls w. J. Byran a milk and
water statesman" because of the
latter's peace-at-any-price policy. In
the course OF a discussion on peace
insurance and preparedness against
war. the colonel has this to say con-
corning Mr.. Bryan's resignation from
the ca binet and his policy:
Mr.. Bryan resigns the foremost
position in the American cabinet and
Immediately addresses a large meet
ing of Germans. where lie was very
properly received with uproarous APP
plause as a faithful servant of the
present German government, as man
who, however amiable his intentions,
had in actual fact stood against the
purpose and interest of America Now,
II Mr., Bryan were German the
German government would not for one
moment to permit him make the kind
of addresses against GERMANY that
the Germans applauded him for
making against his own country and
ours"
The colonel also hints that 1t is
possible for America to become a
DR.. Jeckyll and Mr.. Hyde among ma
tons. IL the peace-at-any-price per-
sons prevails and yield to the terrorism
spread by Germany. Colonel Roose-
welt devotes much space to explain
waging a campaign to inspire terror
among other nations and such respects
as will make many persons. including
the peace-at-any-price enthusiasts, ar
que for submitting TO Germany's pro-
gra m.
