Berlin, July 11The great allied offensive will end in
defeat within few weeks and will be followed by nego
tatons for peace in the opinion of well informed persons
in Berlin.
The check administered to the British in the death
struggle north of the Somme has given rise to the natural
hope that peace will follow the fighting in Pcard which
has been marked by unprecedented slaughter The Ger
people practically unit in believing the attempt
of the allies to force the German line is doomed to
failure.
Except on one narrow sector, the British have been
unable to make any peceptbe impression on the German
lines, despite their overwhelming superiority in men, I'M
petuous dashes have frequently carried General Haigs
into German positions where they Immediately
cut off and killed captured The French prudent
have made progress south of the Somme but thus
far neither French British have developed the power

the west and roll the Germans out of France and Flanders
The feeling prevails here that when the extent of the
British losses becomes fully known in England coupled
with the fact that the German line still remains intact
public opinion will demand that peace be made without
further slaughter.
German reports quite certain that the British will
quit the attack without first feeling out all sectors
of the German front in the hope of finding opening
But they confident that the British will have no great
er success against the strongly fortified lines further
north than they have had between the Ancre and the

Columbus, n. NJ, July 1.-The
Guerrero district is aflame with Viii

Also army officers who were in Guer-
rero on the first dash south after Vii

vinced Villa is alive they would join
him. The bandit leader long made the
Guerrero district his stamping
ground" while fighting Diaz rurales.
However, nearer the American lines,
the natives are friendly to General
Pershing's men and apparently salts
fled at enjoying their first peace in
years and receiving gold for labor and
supplies.
The meager renorts of the expedi
ton activities reaching here indicate

Gar Ferdinand Told That
Russian Success Would

HE WOULD BE CRUSHED
BY THEM AND THE ALLIES
He Answers to Withdraw
Troops From Near Salonika
Is Impossible
By John H. Hearley.

Omitted Press staff correspondent.)
Rome, July 11.-Kaiser Wilhelm and
Emperor Franz Josef have sent an urg.
ent request Of Gear Ferdinand that he
dispatch Bulgarian troops to the Ga
lician and Trentino fronts to help check
the Russian and italian offensive.
This information was received from
Geneva today. N
A delegation of Austro-German mill
tary and diplomatic officials arrived at
Sofia Sunday, carrying the request.
They pointed out to the Bulgarian ruler
that continued successes for the Rus
slams and Italians would bring Rumania
into the war and that Bulgaria would
then be squeezed between the Rumanian
army on the north and the allied forces
in Greece and crushed.
Car Frdinand replied that the with
drawal of Bulgarian troops for service
in Galicia or on the italian front would
invite an imemdiate attack by the al
lies from Salonika. He promised, how
ever, to submit the appeal to the Bull
garian general staff.
The steady advance of the Russians
through southeastern Galicia has forced
the Austrians to withdraw several di
visions front the, Trentiho front. Thest
have been replaced by Creates and
Poles.
The Austrian losses in the unsuccess
full offensive against the Trentino from
and in the Italian counter-offensivt
have totaled 10000, it is estimated
here. The Italians already have wol
back nearly all the territory occupied
by the Austrians in their drive, thougl
the concentration of 1000 Austrian gun
of heavy calibre has impeded their ad
vance.
