Limited)--The taking of Hill 20 yes
terday stirred the German higher COM
mand as nothing else had done on this
front this year. Prince Rupprecht
has made frantic efforts to recapture
the lost positions and a grim battle
vas waged throughout the day. Ten
times the enemy came on but they
seldom got close enough for fighting
with bayonet or bomb. The Prussian
guards were subject to frightful con-
centrated fire from our artillery and
machine guns. Their losses were
heavy.
A veteran machine gun officer tells

and quarter enemy reinforcements
coming up in columns of tours. He
said his men killed more Germans
yesterday than they had seen alto
Eether at any previous time.
The seventh Prussian division. which

longer exists. Our guns so steadily
swept their positions that ration par
ties refused to go up and the men In
the trenches remained unfed.
The total number Of prisoners IL
row considerably over 400.

WHOLLY INADM|SSIBLE.I
But Peace Note Nearly
A vance Towards
Such Peace AS World
Needs Says Telegraph

London. Aug. 1.-THE proposals Of Pope
Benedict, notwithstanding many wholly
unsatisfactory features, the Daily Tele-
graph thinks mark a perceptible advance
todary the formulation of such a pea &c
as the Allies demand and the world needs.
The note, it says, creates a new s!tua-
ton and it may we'll represent what Aus
tro-Hungary South Germany and a
strong body of opinion in East Prussia
itself are trying to force upon the Ger
man imperial government. Nevertheless
as the basis Of peace negotiations the
note is. in the Telegraph's opinion, Who'll.
ly inadmissible and very far indeed from
satisfying requirements of a just peace
as stated in the allied note to the United
States in January.
The Daily Mail finds the note consider
ably less important than the summaries
indicated. and describes it as a rather
weak and plaintive document
The Daily Chronicle makes a similar
point, saying:
rs it safe to stake our whole future on
scraps of paper signed by the Hohenzol-
Terms and the Ha psberes? President VII
son has asked this question, though the
Pope does not, and he answered no
Accepting that answer. as we do the
Pope's whole argument colapses.
The Daily Mail declares that the sug-
gestions in the note are impossible. be-
cause the note is so clearly of Teutonic
origin.

GO TO CRIMEA

Petrograd, Aug. 1s.-Further details
are published concerning the removal of
Nicholas Romanoff from the former i'm
perial palace at Tsarskoe-Seo. When the
train which was to carry the former EN-
peror arrived it bore prominent placards
and contained one armored car and on
the platform of each car were four SOL
diers with fixed bayonets.
The former Emperor, at the last mo-
ment, says one newspaper. begged to he
allowed to reside in the Crimea, but tina,
was refused AS the train pulled out. the
soldiers shouted derisively at the former
ruler of Russia. The location of the new
prison remains a mystery but the i'm
preston grows that it will be Siberia
At Tsarskoe-Selo the palace is being

Nicholas have been sealed up. 1t is said
that at the different imperial palaces at

GERMANS FRIENDLY
POPE'S PEACE PLANS

Copenhagen. Aug. 16-The Pope's
peace proposal according to a Berlin
dispatch seems to have had a friend
~ reception in the leading circles in
Germany. having fallen on carefully
prepared ground.
Several of the newspapers report
that the Pontiff sounded out both bel
ligerent groups in advance and init
mate to their readers that the Entente
therefore is probably in accord with
II.
The Norwaerts refers in connection
with the Pope's peace offer to current
rumors of a conference of flnanciers
OF the belligerent powers recently held
in Switzerland. 1t says the German
public is entitled to full information
regarding the conference and demands
q statement from DIR. Hellfrich. the
German chancellor. who, as former
secretary of the Imperial treasury,
presumably had knowledge of it.
The Colonge Tolks Zeitung. the or
gan of the Pan-German wing of the
Catholic party, is in an unfortunate
position by reason of the note. This
newspaper has just asserted in a hot
article against the peace policy of
Matthias Erzhcrger was not entitled to
his campaign and that there was
nothing further from the Pope's in
tentions than an attempt to suggest
terms Of peace. particularly a non-an-
neXationist peace.
