BRYAN SCORES FOES OF U. S.
Attacks Unpatriotic Utterances as
Products Of pisaffected Hearts
Rather Than Errors of Mind.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Unpatriotic utter
ances, especially by men of promi-
nence, are more likely to be due to a
wrong attitude of heart than an error
of the mind, according to an interview
with William Jennings Bryan in Chi
cago. +
II do not want to make individual
application" said Mr.. Bryan. but
while an unpatriotic utterance may pos
sibly be due to an error of the mind,
it is more likely to be due to wrong
attitude of heart. The tongue is not
likely to slip unless the heart skids.
There can be but two sides to this
war, and every American ought to be
on the side of the United States.

a concert of nations based upon an &C
ceptance of the principle Of arbitra-
ton; that by a similar concert free
dom Of the seas be established; and
that the territorial claims Of France
and Italy, the perplexing problems OF
the Balkan states, and the restitution
of Poland be left to such conciliatory
adjustments as may be possible in the
new temper of such peace, due re-
gard being paid to the aspirations OF
the peoples whose political fortunes
and affiliations will be involved.
cit is manifest that no part of this
out unless the restitution of the
status quo ante furnishes a firm
and satisfactory basis for it. The
object Of this war is to deliver the
free peoples Of the world from the
menace and the actual power of a
vast military establishment con-
trolled by an irresponsible government
which, having secretly planned to
dominate the world, proceeded to
carry the plan out without regard
either to the sacred obligations of
treaty or the long established prac-
tees and long cherished principles Of
international action and honor; which
chose it's own time for the war; deliv-
cred its blow fiercely and suddenly !;
stopped at no barrier either Of law
or of mercy; swept whole continent
within the tide Of blood-not the blood
of soldiers only, but the blood Of in
nocent women and children also and
Of the helpless poor; and now stands
baked but not defeated, the enemy Of
four-fifths of the world. This power
is not the German people. 1t is the
ruthless master of the German people.

FRENCH GAIN At vERDUN
Capture Hill 304 and Other Important
Posts-Big Victory for the
Allies.

Paris, Aug. 27.-The French made
an attack on the left bank of the
Mouse, between Avoncourt wood and
Dead Mans hill. The war Office an
nounced on Friday the capture of Hill
304, Camard wood and the fortified
works between Haucourt wood and
Bethincourt. Prisoners were taken in
the course of the action. The French
gained more than their objective, adj
vancing to an average depth of two
kilometers Zone and one-fourth miles).
Hill .3O4 is one of the most bitterly
disputed positions of the war, in the
struggle for which thousands of men
have lost their lives.

the important points on the Verdun
front which they held before the be-
ginning of the Great German attack
last year.
Berlin, Aug. 27.-The evacuation by
the Germans of Hill 3O4, the famous
stronghold on the Verdun front, is an
nounced by the war Office.
