AND CLOSELY PRESS
RETREATING GERMANS
Crossing Attended by Serious
Difficulties but Russians
Are Pressing On.

PETROGRAD, July 10. vie London,
$40 p. m.-The Russian forces ad-
vancing in Volbynia toward KeSel are
crossing the River Stokhod at var
ious points. closely pressing the Teu-
tonic forces opposing them, says TO-
days war office statement.
The passage Of the river is being &C
com plished under serious difficulties.
The official communication says that
the crossings OF the river have in most
cases been destroyed by the opposing
armies.
throughout the whole line, on both
sides Of the front, aviators made num-
erous flights. In the region Of the
Choubinsky Canal, Niemen and the
Beresina, our artillery brought down
a German areoplane. The pilot and
mechanic were taken prisoner. A
group Of at least ten aerop!anes ut
tackled Molodechon and dropped forty
bombs which set the hay depot on fire.
Near the villages of Svidniki. Sta,
riymosser, and Noyynlissor. on the left
bank Of the Stokhod, lively fighting is
progressing. We took German prison
ers at these points. Between kiselin
and Zubilno the enemy attempted a
surprise attack but was put to flight.
The total number of prisoners TAX
en- BY General Kaledines from July
to July is 341 officers. 9,145 un-
wounded soldiers. He also captured
ten pieces OF artillery. as machine
guns, Ii bomb throwers, 1870 rifles.
81 limbers and depots of engineering
materials. These figures must be add
ed to those given in the communica-
ton Of July which included 300 Of
f1cers. 10000 men and 45 pieces Of ar
tilleTy.
Intense Artillery Action.
"On the Galcian front there was a
particular intense artillery action on
both banks Of the Dniester. In the
Dvina sector the enemy undertook an
offensive southeast Of Lake Seventeen
but was repulsed and thrown back into
his trenches.
East Of Baranovichi. in the region
Of the village of Odochawsi the Ger
mans launched counter attack which
broke down under our artillery and
infantry fire.

ALLIED OFFENSIVE
HAS Been BROUGHT
TO A STANDSTILL

BERLIN, July 10 (via London, S:09
n. mD-German correspondents on the
west front telegraphing Sunday, agree
in reporting that the great offensive Is
virtually at standstill. They also
assert that it achieved no results OF
practical importance in the week II
lasted, and that what gains were MADE
were quite out Of proportion 10 the
losses suffered.
The correspondent Of the Loksl Ao'
zeiger telegraphs:
The offensive has been at a stand
still for the last three days and Is shat
teriug itself into a bitter group OF CON
flic,s on the wall of our secoud lines.
Our defending forces have damned up
the advancing enemy in a basin ana
they ere unable 10 unite forces SufTi'
cient TO enlarge the border OF the
basin TO any great extent worth not

The correspondent Of tho Vossische
Zeitung reports that the first week OF
the offensive has not brought the
eremy any nearer his goal
He intinates the possibility Of an
extension nf the entente allies efforts,
saving:
"All kinds of signs point 10 the pos
sibility Of an extension Of the from:
on which the offensive is taking place.
Demonstrations by the allies continue
at La BaSSe. Lens on the AiSne. and

WILSON DEFENDS
MEXICAN POLICY
SAYS u. S. DESIRES
PERMANENT PEACE
Tells Salesmanship Congress
Why Mexico Is Suspicious
of the States.

DETROIT. July 10. - Prominent
Americans speaking today. at the
opening of the sessions of the world
salesmanchip congress, urged the busl'
ness men of the United States vino
seek foreign trade, to adjust theil
methods to conform with the National
customs of business methods OF each
country they invade.
President Wilson touched upon this
topic in his opening address this after
noon. D. NJ. Barrett, general chair.
man of the congress: Secretary OF
Commerce William G.. Redfeld. Latay'
cite Young, the Des Moines publisher
and Hugh Chalmers, Detroit, manu-
facturer, preached the same gospel.
Sell your foreign customers wnat
they want 10 buy and serve them as
they want to be served, was the Key
note of several addresses made this
afternoon.
Mr.. Redfeld declared that American
business, attempting TO broaden its
foreign field, will face the greatest
test in its history when the European
war is over. Success OF failure. he
said rests with American business
methods.
Addressing the statesmen, President
Wilson declared in part:
I'VE desire permanent peace; per-
manent peace can grow only in one
soil That is the soil Of actual good
will. and good will cannot come with.
out mutual prehension.
81 hear some gentlemen say that
they want 10 help Mexico and the way
they propose 10 help her is TO over
whelm her with force.
There is the long way as we'll as
the wrong way. Because, after the
fighting YOU have nation full Of jus
tilted suspicion and animated by well
founded hostility and hatred, and then
will YOU help Them Then will You
establish cordial business relation
ships with them? Then will you go in
as neighbors and enjoy their conf
denCe? On the contrary, YOU will have
shut every door as if it were of steel:
What makes Mexico suspicious of
us is that she does not believe as yet
that we want TO serve her. She be:
lieves we want TO possess her. And
she has justification for the belief in
the way in which some of our fellow
citizens have tried 10 exploit her priv
ileges and possessions. For my part

gentlemen, but | will try to serve all
America so far as intercourse with
Mexico is concerned by trying to serve
Mexico herself
