BERLIN SAYS
PEACE COMING
Tide Of Battle Ebbs and Flows
Steady Fighting VIII Win
FRENCH vICToRs AT BIAoHEs
Germans Claim Great Allied Offen-
siye Has Been Brought to
Standstill-Tide Shows
Small Teuton Gains

London, July 11-(Special) Tho
British gained more ground today
ON the west front and again carried
Contamination by assault. The French
ara Smelling Perrone. The Germans
made a strong attack ON Verdun
without gains.
Reports from Berlin say the al
lies, gains amount to little and when
his big drive ends peace will come.
An Austrian cruiser sunk five
british armored patrol boats in the
Adriatic this morning.
London, July 11.-On both east
ern and western fronts heavy fight
ing persists. This is especially the
case on the western front, where the
struggle is not without fluctuations
of fortune and brings to mind the
warnings of the correspondents from
the opening OF the Somme battle
that steady, methodical pressure,
rather than brilliant advances, must
be expected.
The British official statement
says that the Germans have enter
ed Trones wood and records further
progress east of Oyillers and La
Boisselle, in addition to a footing
secured by the British in the Ma
metz wood, where heretofore the
Germans had resisted all the British
efforts.
The German official communica-
ton admits French possession OF
Biaches, only short distance from
Perrone, which town is thus SER
iously exposed and threatened.
On the eastern front the Rus
slams have crossed the Stokhod river
at many points.
German war correspondents are
already claiming that the allied Of
1ensive has been brought to
standstill.

AAAAAAAAAAAA
ROOSEVELT ON HUGHES
BY Theodore Roosevelt

Mr.. Hughes has shown in
his career the intinct of eff
ficiency which will guaran-
tie that, under him, the gov
eminent will once more
work with yigor and force.
He possesses that habit OF
which means that his words
will be correlated with his
deeds and translated into
facts. His past career is the
warrant for our belief that
he will be the unfaltering
opponent of that system of
invisible government which
finds expression in the domi-
nation of the party boss and
the party machine. His past
career is a guarantee thai
whatever he gays before cleo
ton will be made good by his
acts after election.
