NEW YORK, June 4-Otto H.. Kuhn, of Kuhn, Loeb and company, in an address last night, speaking as an American, born of German par ents, made stirring appeal to other Americans of German births or ante cedents to support the United States government.
 Speaking as one born from Ger man parents" he said, "I do not hesitate to state it is my deep con viction that the greatest service which men of German birth or ante cedents can render to the country of their origin is to proclaim and to stand up for these great and fine ideals and national qualities and tra- ditions which they and their ances- tors inherited and in which they were brought up. They must set their faces like flint against the mon strous doctrines and acts of rulership which have robbed them of the Ger many which they loved and which had the affection and admiration oi the world"

Teutonic Forces Meeting With LosseS-RuS- Sians and Ruman-
 anS Active

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, June 4.-Under the light of nearly a full moon the British made attacks southwest of Lens. The point of attack was due west of Avion, the southern suburb of Lens. The British, by early dawn had captured all in- tended positions and are still fight ing today along the Lens-Arras road. They captured the electric power station just south of the river where the Germans have been established for many months and which was fairly stiff with machine guns. The station was pretty well blown about by artillery fire but is still a formidable fertilization. Farther south the British captured some brick chimneys which had been transformed into strong point These objeetivesIssountl rath- CT strange, but the most bitterest fighting in the world war on the vast front has from time to time swirled about the sugar factories, windmills, farm buildings, ceme- taries, breweries, slag heaps, and unimposing mounds like the Butte du Wariencourt. Churches. mon astaries and even asylums for the insane with hundreds of prisoners have been counted this morning as taken in the nocturnal operations about Lens and every indication is that heavy losses have been in flicted on the enemy. Artillery activity continues unabated, first one side then the other bombarding and retalliating by turns.
