On the southern end Of the line held
by the French, the Germans Sunday
morning made strong attacks on the
plateau Of Craonne, on the sector
north Of Rheims and in the region of
Maisons de Champagne. The French
not only put down all three attacks
with the fire Of their artillery and ri
fles, causing heavy casualties, but
they pushed back the German line and
made prisoners.
There is still no indication Of the ap-
proach Of the independent fighting be-
tween the Austro-Germans and Rus
slams on the eastern front from the
Baltic sea to Rumania. Along this en-
tire line the operations consist merely
Of small skirmishes.
In Macedonia violent artillery duels
are in progress along the entire front
with the preponderance Of power ap-
parently with the Entente.

the French Tri-color and the Stars
and Stripes to Fletcher's field, where
the civic address was delivered to
Marshal Joffre by the mayor and the
marshal briefly replied.
What the soldiers of Montreal. of
Canada. have accomplished will al
ways be appreciated in France said
the marshal. The soldiers Of Canada
are courageous. They despise death and
their bravery reaches the level of the
bravery Of the French troops. l thank
you FOR what you have said.
Following the civic function Marshal
Joffre reviewed about 5000 troops and on
his way down town stopped at McGill

Friends Confident

The movement has shown such
strength that there was much specu-
lation when the news of the chancel-
lor's trip to headquarters became
known Friday whether he would re-
turn as chancellor or as a private in
dividual. The friends of DR.. Won Beth
mann Hallweg, however. were abso-
lutely sure that the chancellor still
possessed the full confidence of the
Emperor despite the efforts of the
pan Germans and Conservatives to
harrass him on the question of cleo
toral reforms.
Ven Bernstorff's Chance
DIR. Won Bethmann-Holl himself,
according to stories circulating in Ber-
lin, did not alike the movement against
him altogether lightly and was credit
ed with the remark that if his oppo-
nents drove him out they would only
put Count Won Bernstorff. former am
bassador to the United States, in his
place.
The position of DR.. Alfred thinner
man, vice chancellor and foreign sec
rotary, is described also as shaky, the
Mexican affair having undermined the
commence OF tne fSflcHSldS. but II Is
difficult at this distance TO judge the
amount of truth behind this report
and that of Count Won Bernstorff's
candidacy.
The chancellor himself evidently is de-
termined to persist in his policy Of put
ting off until the morrow a statement of
his policy on the question of internal re-
forms and the definition of Germany S
peace aims, and apparently will be able
to continue his policy.
The only immediate result Of reforms
by the government will be measure CIV
ing some slight additional representation
to number Of the great urban Industrial
Reichstag districts.
Watching Russia
The chancellor's attitude apparently is
dictated by consideration of the conditions
in Russia and by the feeling that it is
best to avoid any statement of terms ar
the present which would either pin down
the government to accept less than is
possibly obtainable if the Russian disin-
tegration continues, or which might cause

Espionage Bill Changes


The espionage bill has been stripped or
the press censorship section which caused
much of the opposition to its passage
The injection of an amendment last night
prohibiting the use of cereals or grains
in the manufacture of intoxicants during
the war, although bitter pill to the foes
of prohibition, probably will not greatly
delay ultimate passage of the entire meas
ure
Food Control Next
Plans of leaders in the Senate are not
clear as to what measure of the several
important ones shall be taken up after
the espionage bill, but it probably will be
the food control bill. Conferees on the
war army bill called to meet again tomor~
row by the House after once rejecting
the so-called Roosevelt amendment now
wants it put in, are not expected to take
long at their task and tomorrow the bill
may reach the Senate floor. Since the
Roosevelt amendment originated in that
body it is possible the army measure
can be disposed of without much debate
and early in the week sent to the Presi-
dent. In the House an effort may be
made to put food control legislation
through after the war revenue bill.

Young men soon in France.
Later the marshal was driven to the
stadium, where he saluted the Harvard
regiment and received the six French
