swiftness with which Won Falkenhayn

twenty miles northwest of Crafova-
Some anxiety is felt as to Field Mar

recent retreat may have been a DELHI

might be expected to be heard of at
Nikopoli or farther west, at Rahova.

Meet Tenacious Resistance.


After describing the Austro-Gernai /.
advance through the mountain passes
the military critic continues:
THE Rumanians offered the most
tenacious resistance and made violent
counter attacks. especially in Predeai
pass, north of Campulung: in Rothen-
thurm pass and in the jul valley. But
all these desperate efforts merely cost
them the greatest sacrifices without
bringing them even local gains. and
the advance of the Germans and Aus
trians was more successful every day
"On November Is the Rumanian de-
fense in the jul valley gave way and
the Rumanians were defeated decisive

Success of Importance.

BERLIN, November %, by wireless
to Sayville, y. Y.-The defeat OF the
Rumanians in Wallachia, enabling the
ustro-German forces to reach the rail
road from Orsova to Craiova, was OF
even more Importance in the Rumanian
campaign than the breaking of the Ru-
manian line in Dobrudja, writes the
military critic of the Overseas News
Agency. With the battle at Tirgujiuliz
November IS, he says, the Rumaniau
campaign entered on a new phase.
This advance to the railroad was
carried out with energy and speed" he
continues and the Rumanians wer.
flung through the door to the Wallach-
ian plains. In October there was
violent struggle In northern Rumania
for the key positions in the Transyl-
yanian mountains. but after the passes
were forced the pressure of the centre
powers increased from day to day, with
an extension of the front all through
the Moldavian mountains and the Wal
lachian Carpathians as far as Orsova."

BUSINESS MEN BAKE

But They're Learning To Be
Soldiers, and Don't Mind II.

One hundred and twenty Long Island
business men are learning the hard

Yesterday they sweltered under the

about trencl digging and military map

The men have been reporting at Fort

The Germans were unable to stand
against the elan of the French, who
pushed rapidly forward until they pen

lines
In their advance the French are TAX
ing the deep curves Of the Somme River
and the low-lying marshy ground along
the river. The greatest obstacle they
met was the marshes of Frise, which
they overcame by pushing around on
both sides and taking the position IN

The advance so far achieved puts the
whole German line south 10 scissors in

hind that part Of the German line, and
little further advance will leave the
Scissors position sharp salient IN

Meanwhile the Allies pressure con-

ish attack is steadily extending, while
the French pressure is particularly
strong between scissors and Rheims,

After coming slowly back TO the last
line OF tho Verdun defences, while
Paris waited anxiously for each fresh
communique, the French turned loose
a great drive in the north. and at the
same time, starting from a toe-hold at
Verdun. surged forward there with in
domitable valor and hurled back the

the accomplishment of many humani-

the Carranza government, and for that
reason would be disastrous 10 Mexican

Carlos Lovera. of Yucatan, spokes-
man for the delegation, expressed the
belief that an American army could
occupy Mexico after a short struggle, -
but Colonel Edmund f. Martinez, of
Mexico City, declared war would be
long and difficult. They insisted that
withdrawal of General Pershing's ex-
petition would solve the whole diff
ficulty and that Carranza troops then
could prevent border raids.
Mexicans generally distrust the mo-
tives of the American government, Mr.
Loveira said, because they remember
the war OF ls47-4s, and Mexican labor
interests are aggrieved because of a
dual standard of pay and treatment &C.

this is really the long awaited big

force than any Of the previous move

GERMANS RENEW
MEUSE ASSAULT
But Paris Says Efforts to
Retake Fort ThiaumOnt
Have Failed.

London, July 2.-Notwithstanding
the terrific offensive against them in
the Somme River region, the Germans
have not ceased in their efforts around
Verdun. They have bombarded several
of the Verdun sectors and have
launched infantry attacks against the
French trenches. While Berlin declares
that the French attacks against the
famous Thiaumont work were repulsed
by curtains Of fire, the French War
Office announces that this strategic
position ha been recaptured by the
French forces and is held by them.
The French have now taken the ag-
gressive at Verdun, to-day's report
showing an attack on Dead Man Hill
with heavy German losses and the TAX
ing Of prisoners. The French are thus
keeping the Germans fully occupied at
Verdun and are preventing them from
sending reinforcemeDts to relieve their
weakened line in the north.
On the other hand, the Germans
pride themselves with being able final
iy to take Verdun, and are concentrat-
ing their chief effort in the south.
The Paris statement says tonight:
"On the north Verdun front there
has been no infantry action. A very
vigorous bombardment has been main
tained in the region Of Hill 3O4 and in
the Fleury and Damloup sectors. We
have set on fire three captive balloons
in the Verdun region
The Berlin report says:
con the left bank of the Meuse, at
Hill 904, French trench sections were
captured and French hand grenade
attack was repulsed.
"To the east of the Meuse the enemy,
with the aid of strong reinforcements,
repeated his attacks many times yester-
day and this morning on Froide Terre
Hill. and specially against the fortified
work of Thisumont, but was compelled
by our curtain of fire 10 retire.

National Lines, In Peace Treaty,
Must Be Extended, Asserts
Ex.ChanceIlOr.

Berlin. July 2.-Prince Won Buelow,
former German Chancellor. asserts that
Germany must have something more
than pre-war conditions when peace is
declared in a preface to his book. Ger
man Policies" which has just been
issued. The former Chancellor main
tains that the reestablishment Of ma
tional lines as they existed prior to
the war would mean loss TO Germany
In the preface to his book Won Buelow
discusses Germany's future and the
form that a peace treaty must take TO
conform with German aspirations. De-
claring that Germany will have 10
reckon after the war with the bitter
hatred OF France, England and Russia,
he continues:
This fact must dictate the form
which peace shall assume. The protec-
tion which Germany will find against
renewed and new lust for revenge in
the west and east and across the Chan
mel can only be in its own increased
power Our enemies, too, will strength
en- armaments on land and water, and
we, for our part, must meet this con.
dition.
Must Become Stronger.
"We must make ourselves stronger
and harder TO be attacked on our Dor-
ders and coasts than we were at the
beginning of this war, not for the sake
Of striving for world supremacy, with
which we have been falsely charged,
but in order 10 maintain ourselves
against our foes.
"The result OF the war must not be
negative, but positive. IL is not ques-
tion of saving ourselves from being de-
stroyed, weakened dismembered or
plundered. We must gain real securl-
ties and guarantees, both as recon-,
pense for the unheard OF trials and
sufferings we have endured and as a
security for the future.
"ln the face Of the feelings against
us which this war will leave. the simple
reestablishment Of the status quo ante
bellum for Germany would mean loss
and not gain. We shall not be able
10 say with good conscience that our
general situation has been oettered D!
the war, unless the strengthening or
our political, economic and military
power considerably outweighs the en-
mites engendered by the conflict
Prince Won Buelow maintains that ~
is important "to retain, restore and
strengthen connections with those
states with which Germany did not
cross swords, irrespective OF whether
the propaganda of the enemy press and
enemy sgitators influenced the feelings
Of the people against US during the
war. Here political necessities must
disregard national likes and dislikes'
even though they be justified"
The Socialists come in for good
word from Won Buelow, and he ax-
presses the belief that the cooperation
between them and the government Will
be easier after the war.
