London, July 19.-When General Haig's

counter attack had been going on all
night long and had given the Germans A
footing in Delville wood and Longueval,
was still in progress. The German at
lacks on the Waterloo farm and other
points We're repulsed.
In a very brief dispatch tonight Gen.
Hag sends the announcement that most
of the ground thus lost had been recain-
ed in both places and that the British fire
had dispersed the Germans massing for a
further attack on Waterloo farm. These
dispatches seem to confirm the opinions
constantly expressed by the correspon-
dents at the front Of the dwindling
strength of the Germon counter attacks
The operations on the French front are
still impeded by rain, and comparatively

Russian Strength
The Russians operations are again be-

critics dwell on what they describe as the

various fronts and the absence of any in
dications that the enemy forces are able
effectively to parry them.

the condition of the country under Rus

which had devastated the land. Under
these conditions the Germans took up
their work. which the vice chancellor In

Examiners Report

In view of the alleged declaration OF
Atwood that he shot DR.. Harris be-
cause Miss Adams lad told him that
DIR, Harris had wronged her, the au-
topsy was looked Upon as likely to
nave an important bearing on the
case. In an informal statement to-
night the medical examiner, DR..
George B. Magrath who examined the
body today, merely announced that
Miss Adams came to her death from
the effects of a poison received by
mouth, the nature of which is at pres
ent undetermined"
Inc police bulletins issued last night
declared that the young woman died from
a narcotic poison self-administered and
II was believed that she had ended her
NE in a fit Of dependency after the sup.
posed interview with DR. Atwood in which
the latter. according to his story to tina
police, learned Of her alleged relationT
with DR.. Harris. The statement of DR.
Magrath seemed to throw doubt upon the
correctness of this police theory by as
serting that no facts in his possession
showed when or where or under what
circumstances" the poison was received.
Denial by Girls Father
Both DIR. Harris and Francis P. Ad.
ans, father of DR.. Adams, have denied
the charge of DR.. Atwood regarding the
motive for the shooting. THE relations

Mr.. Adams added that last week DR..
Harris called Dr. Adams and DR.. At
wood to conference and at that time
told DR.. Atwood, for the good of the
procession not to show so much at
tention to the young woman.
The condition Of DR.. Harris was re-
ported as extremely critical at the hos
pital tonight. In the early evening he
was said to show a slight improvement,
but few hours later he was declared
to be sinking. His wife, who had been
at his bedside all day, remained
through the night, although the patient
was apparently unconscious.

or England. The plan merely fits into
their imperialistic schemes"
The senator charged that men had
been forced into the preparedness
parade under threats of having their
wages reduced. Workingmen in
Washington, he said, had told him
they marched in the demonstration for
that reason. The larger newspapers of
the country, he declared, were in
fiuenced by advertising of the Inter
ests" behind the preparedness pro-
paganda to devote most space to the
testimony of witnesses before the
congressional committee who favored
preparedness.
"A cheap skate of a business man
can get a column and a half on tho
front page if he will boost prepared
ness" he shouted, but General
Weaver, who speaks against it, can
not get line. These newspapers sell
their editorial good will along with
their advertising. It costs something
to say that. but for some years l have
stood ready to pay the price"
Senator La Toilette quoted from re-
ports of the committee hearings to
prove that the navy is in better shaps
than preparedness advocates make it
appear.
Senators Oliver and Penrose speak
ing against the armOr plate proposal
insisted that it simply would mean a
waste of money now that the Beth
lehem Steel Co. has offered to fur
nish plate at a price to be set by the

Russians Destroy

The retreating Russians. DR.. Helfferich
pointed out, had burned villages and
towns and destroyed the harvests The
Germans first built roads through the
devastated sections and supplied cattle
and seeds to the inhabitants, with the
result that now one frequently could see
herds of hundred or more cattle while
fields of standing grain were on all sides.
DR.. Helfferich said he found schools
everywhere now, even at places where
none were maintained when the Russians
ruled the country.
All nationalties, DR.. Helfferich said
were given equal recognition with the
white Russians and Lithuanians. Terri
BILE suffering existed among the Jews
when the Germans arrived. The vice
chancellor declared that In most towns
they had been excluded from the schools
by the Russians. The Germans, he add
ed, introduced self-government in the
country and admitted Jewish representa-
tives to the government bodies.
