government as having every day
stronger during the last two years

uon' OF the government. The sum

labors will be productive Of results
satisfactory to both countries"
Secretary Lane and his associates
are evlncing a keen interest in the
aims and purposes Of the constitution

While the subject Of the withdrawal

will hold an equally important place
in the eyes of the American commits
soners.
During tho recess the American
commissioners will study war and

London, Aug. 2.-Unless in the

happens and King George grants a

Such action by the King would

Berlin, via Sayville. July 80 tide
yed).-Cut OFF as Berlin Is from
free communication with the world,
the report has reached this capital
OF widespread belief of the exist
ence OF military crisis in the Central
empires. The simple fact is that no
one In all Germany is aware of such
crisis. Since the first week of the
great English offensive no real ap-
prehension has existed regarding it.
Last week developed a stupendous
effort on a colossal scale. but the
results leave Germany in the unim-
paired possession Of her front.
An exhaustive review of the mill
tary situation laid before me by an
unimpeacha authority forces the
conclusion that the Germans enter
into the third year of the war with
her lines In the east and west firmly
intact.
Make No Dent ON Front.
Early in June the manoeuvres by
the English and French yielded a
ficient even to make as much as a
dent in the German front. They were
only the prelude of the gigantic mass
attacks launched on July ~, 20 and
-. which constituted the biggest mill
tary action of the entire war, with
more than a million men engaged on
all sides. In this three days fighting
the English and French forces, the
former heavily predominating numeri-
caliy, have paid an appalling toll of
lives, rushing into the German ma
chine gun fire and then beating re-
treats under the whitening German
artillery fire.
It lis doubtful whether Americans
have learned the true English and
French losses. 1t is commonly be-
lieved here that General Haig has
nifty -lwo divisions and that all al
them passed through this fire ana are
now being reconstructed The allies

The Germans reason that the de-

steadily pounding their way forward
and the fall of Souville Fort. which
is only matter OF short time, will
mean the automatic falling OF the
