 GERMAN ARMY HEADQUAR- TIERS ON THE SOMME FRONT, August Ia (via Berlin and London. August 15)-The Germans at the front bitterly resent the charges of inhu- manity and brutality which have been brought against them by their op- ponents. A number of German of- ficers who were interviewed by an Associated Press correspondent pro- tested strongly against what they termed the campaign of defamation which was being waged against them. A high German officer who has lec- tured on the variations of the present offensive said:
 We officers and men at the front are well informed on what our op- ponents and neutrals say of us We know that we are called huns and bar barians. Well, l can say it has not softened our feelings any, nor will it. The more the world howls for our de- struction, the harder we will fight, and the last Englishman will have to face the last German. We are neither huns nor barbarians, and if severe measures were resorted to by us they were the outcome of the most serious military necessity. At any rate, islander can not influence us except in an increas- ing determination to win. Our men see daily what the lot of Germany would be in the case the seat of war was transferred" <h ~sM
 Similar sentiments were expressed by officers at every point on the front visited by the correspondent. There was not the slightest inclination to under-rate their opponents. A gen.

[Republican A. ?. Leased Wlrel

BERLIN. Auguts 13 tvia London, August 15).-The worst of the Anglo- French offensive on the Somme is over, in the opinion of German officers on that front, although it is conceded that the efforts of the entente allied troops ts pierce the German lines probably have not ended. This belief was expressed confidently literally dozens of times to an Associated Press correspondent during a four-day trip along the front from a point not far from Peronne fin southeasterly direc- tion
 The more optimistic think that the offensive can already be said to be over. All agreed that any appreciable future advance by the entente allies was. in their opinion. out of the ques- tiOn. An interesting feature of nearly every conversation with German of ficers who ranged from subalterns on the actual front to generals slightly in the rear. was the universal mention of the huge amounts of gas and incendi- ary bombs which had been used and the difficulties in combating this style of fighting All were united in un- grudging and generous praise of the fighting qualities of their opponents.
 The correspondents trip was go
 
 infinite variety of defensive methods employed from huge mortars that seemed to shoot. increasingly. gas masks which must be available in- stantly. everywhere observation points constructed at every vantage point. captive balloons. aeroplanes and even carrier pigeons which were kept in the front trenches against the possibility of the destruction of all means of com munication.
 dramatic climax to the trip was the night battle which was viewed from tte so-called fighting station com manded by the captain who acted as guide. IL was nearly midnight when the captain led the way from his quarters past she'll -riddled field to an observation point built into the top of an apple tree. From this post, the whole front was visible for a distance of twelve to fourteen miles.
 The heavily clouded sky was H. luminated as if with lightning by the bursting shells from the French guns d few miles away, and the answering fire of the German batteries of all calibers. The earth fairly shook from the intensity of the mutual lombard ment and speech was difficult because of the steady and almost deafening rumble and crash of the explosions. The captain laughingly declared that he enjoyed his present life in the open air better than his previous existence in Berlin.
 Like all regimental and corps com mandcrs who were interviewed, the captain spoke admiringly of the re- markable bravery of his English and French opponents. The English forty I,centimeter guns are said to be partic- Iulalry destructive and the GermaN es- innate that they are opposed on this front by about four thousand cannon of all sizes. The spirits of the men do not seem in the least depressed by the 1 offensive and the officers say that the soldiers are hard to hold in hand after long artillery bombardment. and out : of relief at it's cessation, unnecessarily expose themselves in infantry actions 1.-The dispatch ends abruptly at this point, apparently having been cut short

TACOMA. August 15.-Charles F. Hughes told an audience in Tacoma's stadium today that he would not shrink from war in enforcing Ameri- can rights abroad.
 Mir Hughes read the democratic pro- gram of 1912 declaring for the protec- ton of American rigass abroad.
 'I want that made real" the nom inee said, q do not think in making that real that we encounter the dan ger of war. would not shrink from 1t if we did in performing the obvious duty"
 Mir. Hughes confined his remarks al- most wholly 10 what he termed the need for q protective tariff
 "I propose wise tariff without abuses" he said. but frankly tariff to build up and maintain American in- dustries"
 Mir Hughes reviewed democratic tariff legislation and the democratic platform plank of 1912 relating to the tariff.
 "our opponents said they would re- duce the cost of living" he said. Be hold the result
 Through an unfortunate develop ment in the republican party which is now happily healed. our opponents got IDNtl anu kHtl ulQ itbt reduce me cost of living. We don't propose that the shortcomings of the administration with respect to the protection of American industries shall be forgot ten. They want to forget them They think that the European war. like charity. covers a multitude Of sins"
 Mir Hugbes referred to statement issued by Secretary McAdoo soon after the war started in 1914. in which it was announced that $500. 900 900 in emergency currency was available to relieve financial distress.
 "Our opponents had to resort to a republican measure of precaution, the Vreeland law" he said. to still the fear that their policy had engendered among the people of this country. IL was that republican measure that took us through that critical period"
 Reverting to the tariff, MT. Hughes asked why the democratic party want ed tariff commission.
 Do they want a commission to frame tariff for revenue only2" he asked "G want a tariff commission for the purpose of carrying out the protective principle, @ot block it."
 The anti-dumping provision of the pending revenue bill was discussed by MT Hughes.
