Matthias Erzberger, one Of the lead
ers of the German Clerical center, is
reported as saying: eff I could talk
with Lloyd George or Mr.. Balfour
we could in a few hours reach an I'M
derstanding which would enable Of
| fetal peace negotiations to com
mence."
DR.. George Michaelis, the German
| imperial chancellor, declared to a
| large number of newspaper men that
| it is clear that England wants to con-
tinue the war, predicating this on the
statement made by Sir Edward Car
son in Dublin recently that negotia-
| lions with Germany would begin only
| after the retirement of German troops
beyond the Rhine.
German Chancellor Miachaelis says
cit would be of the greatest import
| ance for the enlightenment Of the
whole world regarding the true rea-
sons for the continuation Of the san
culinary massacre of nations for it to
be known that written proofs of our
enemies greed for conquest have since
fallen into our hands"
The center Russian armies are en-
tirely out of Galacia and the north
ern and southern armies continue to
retreat
Evidently the preparations for the
''blood and iron" policy of the gov
eminent against the disaffected troops
will shortly be put into full force, for
Minister of War Kerensky is on his
way to the Russian headquarters to
confer with the military leaders to
formulate plans to stay the retreat and
compel the troops to fight.
The Roumanians and Russians in
the Carpathian region are still COM
pelling the Teutons to give way be-
fore their vigorous onslaught.
The Russian girls who so bravely
charged the Teutons on the Dvinsk
front went over the top" yelling like
madmen, firing with deadly aim as
they looked death squarely in the face.
Up to the German line they rushed,
losing but two killed and a dozen
wounded. They so shamed the de-
sorting troops that they fell in be-
hind them and stayed the onrushing
foe.
When the fighting girls Of the Rus
sian army got to Pottava a hundred
bled with bands and flags and prob
ably the world has never witnessed
such a frenzied greeting as was ac-
corded these modern Joan d'Arcs.
Undoubtedly the legion of death" is
having salutary effect on the dry
bones" of Russia.
Between Chevreaux and Hurtebise
the French have regafned all positions
lost during the first few days Of the
fighting.
The French hold all the plateaus
of Craonne and California and the
Classmates. At some points they have
even extended their lines beyond their
original positions before the German
crown prince.
Kerensky, premier of Russia, was
slightly but painfully wounded in the
arm near Brzezany, when the Russian
artillery, incensed at the retreating
infantry, opened fire on them. The
premier restored measure of order.

lies are in the war to the end, what
ever that end may be. No amend
ments we're made to the already we'll
known intentions of the allied powers.
Militarism must go.
The president has asked for five
million dollars more for war pun
poses. The first years cost of the
war will exceed fourteen billion dol
lars, it is stated.

The German emperor witnessed a
battle in which his fighting men pro
ceeded to "show up" the Russians on
the Sereth front in the east. He
was immensely pleased and congratu
lated his men.
Two hundred and fifty guns were
massed over be two mile front on
which the German crown prince tried
for the seventh successive night to
wrest ground from the French lines on
the Chemin des Dames-the most con

seven days. fighting. The assault was
a failure.
At one point only have the Russians
risen to the occasion and shown any
OF their old fighting spirit-from the
Baltic to the Black sea. Here, Shout

allies, they have attacked and captur-
