HUNS HAVE
NICE PLANS
WOULD CRUSH ALLIES IN WEST
BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF
AMERICAN HELP

BY LOWELL MELLETT. LONDON
Keen observers here believe that Ger
many's forthcoming drive on the west
ern front is preliminary to a new
peace movement. 1t is the hope of the
Teutons to dent the allied lines in
Belgium and France and then claim
their own invincibility This is also
expected to steel the Germans for the
heaVy sacrifices to come when Amer
leans enter the battle front in force.
furthermore it is expected to hearten
the Austrians and accelerate the
peace without victory sentiment in
m entente nations. Germany is es-
Declally anxious to end the war before
gets into action.

Times Warns Nation

LONDON-The Times military critic
warns the nation that Germany is pre-
pairing for her supreme military effort
IN the west. He says the allies must
expect 100000 more Germans and
many aircraft there. He says there is
already much evidence of an intensive
transportation of troops from the east
indicating that Germany is convinced
that there is on longer danger from
Russia. He says the greatest danger
VIII be in the next six months be-
cause the hard pressed Teutons may
strike quickly in their final despera-
ion. The German defensive in the
vest is regarded as ended.

New York, August 4-(By Union
Associated Press)-A glance at the
list of athletes who have enlisted will
show that a wonderful collection Of
cracks will be found in Uncle Sans
training camp afte rthe first OF Sep
tember. Athletic competitions will be
held at the various camps and it would
be well for our amateur controlling
bodies in all sports to suspend the
rules which prohibit mixed amateur
and professional contests during the
war period among enlisted men. Our
great Amateur Athletic Union, the
most powerful amateur body Of the
world, should be the leader. among the
amateur sport bodies in declaring that
all men in the service during the war
will be on an equal basis. The Eng
lish, French and Canadian athletic as-
sociations, in all branches Of amateur
sport, have disregarded the amateur
definition at the present time. Lst our
associations do likewise.
