Declares British Diplomacy

full Than German.

Zurich, Switzerland, Aug. 2.-The
military critic of a Munich paper re-
grets that British diplomacy has been
more clever and successful than the
German. He says it has been con-
stantly making new allies until now
there are 1,350,O0O.000 foes against
Germany's 15o,OO0,000 and declares
that Great Britain's greatest gains in
this respect is America.
Nothing is more foolish than to un-
derestimate Americas entry into the
war, he says.
"rThe military Importance of Ameri-
ca requires only time to became effec-
tice," he says.
More Criticism.
Copenhagen, Aug. 2.--Major Gener-
al Nieuwenhuis, one Of the highest re-

writes in a paper that Chancellor
Michaelis in his address to the Reich
stag took the subject altogether toe
lightly when he dismissed Americas
participation in the war as negligible
factor owing to the lack Of tonnage.

The presence in this country Of an
official Norwegian mission, headed by
the famous Arctic explorer and diplo-
mat, DR.. Fridthiof Nansen, is a result
OF the embargo which the American
government placed upon exports. to all
neutral (and other) countries July / 5.
\ Norway is, since the proclamation
Of unrestricted German submarines in
February, practically dependent upon
the resources of the United States,
especially with regard to fuel and
foodstuffs Due to the fact that cer-
tain sets Of statistical tables tended
to show that Norway and other neu-
trail countries had been heavy re-ex-
4orters to Germany Of goods Imported
finally decided to place an embargo
on export articles. This went into
effect on July Is, and 1t. is understood
that since that day no neutral ships
carrying a cargo Of American goods,
have been able to obtain government
licenses which would mean the safe
transport to Norway Of commodities.

IDENTIFY means that Norway is ready to
place 100000 tons of her shipping

To Offset this, however, a large num-
ber OF new Norwegian ships have

The charge of Norway's re-export-

been refuted by official government

Crown Prince Unable to Ad-

Superior in Air.
(By Associated Press. J

Germany is batting with des-
peration probably unparalleled in
the war to hold her line in Fland-
ers. Notwithstanding the heavy
handicap which the weather has
imposed, the entente forces have
made good their most important
gains and apparently are only
awaiting clearing conditions to
blast their way further into the
Teutonic front.
The boasts of successful resist
ance to the entente thrust that
have come from Berlin that were
based as usual on the unwarrant-
ed assumption that an attempt
had been made to break through
and upon the fact that at one or
two points the German reaction
rsss.atsd in sas1r the
vanced forces of the allies being
pushed back.
Negative Ger:na:i Thrusts.
Today, however, comes the an
nouncement from london that
despite the hampering rainfall the
British have negatived the results
of one Of the German counter
thrusts, completely re-establish-
ing their line in the neighborhood
of the Roulers-Ypres railway as
the outcome Of night attack.
While there may be some in
clination on the part of lay critics
to regard with some misgivings
stress laid upon the bad weather
by the official reports, military
observers apparently are in entire
agreement with the seriousness
of this handicap.
Allies Superior in Air.
The allies have established air
superiority and the storm pre-.
vented observation altogether,
entailing inactivity upon the big
guns that are relied upon to blast
path for the advancing in
fantry. To the low visibility also
has been attributed such success
as the Germans were able to gain
in their counter attacks, the poor
sighting conditions preventing.
the entente gunners from massing
their fire effectively.
Germans Busy in France.
Despite the hard fighting in
Flanders, the Germans are con-
t;nuing their pronounced actiyi-
ties on the French front. Paris
reports two attacks on the French
line east and southeast of Rheims
and assaults in the Avocourt
wood sector in the Verdun re-
gion and in the Apremont forest.

recommended from many quarters.
Thus it was that Rowland came UP,
practically unknown around the ma
ior league circuits and ii was be-
cause of the fact that he had never
even been a major league player that
he was given such a rude reception
by the critics.
After three seasons with the White
Sox Rowland has proven his value,
for his club has never been down In
the race, and last year gave Boston
a terrific battle for the pennant-
Rowland is q manager of the Hugh
ie Jennings type He ahhors rowdy-
ism and will not permit it on the
part of his players. He Is also
smart handler of pitchers, and he
knows as much as any major league
manager today about developing play
ers, for as n minor league leader he
had to depend on his own ability to
build UP winning clubs. In this way
he got experience that many major
league managers have never had.
Rowland Is driving manager. but
he believes in a ball club expending
it's exertions on the field of piav
rather than against rival players and
the umptres. For this reason he has
made wonderful Improvement In
the White Sox. both In fielding and
at the bat. for Chicago can no longer
