Amsterdam, July 7.-According to
the Deutsche Tages Zeitung. Herr
Wolfgang Heine, >well-known Reich
stag deputy. speaking at Cologne. said
he had recently had a conversation
with the imperial chancellor. As .
result. he said he was able to state
that IL chancellor was prepared to
conclude peace without annexation
in the west or east and without indem-
mites.
This changed attitude Is said to be
the outcome Of the conviction that all
hopes Of a separate peace with Rus
STA must be abandoned. that Russian
offensive must be faced.

French Front in France, July g.
After their strongest offensive since
Verdun the Germans found themselves
thrown back along on eleven.mile
front on the Chemin des Danes, leav-
ing the ground thickly strewn with
their dead and having failed to take
even one French soldier prisoner.
The French lines remained intact,
and the French commanding general
who watched the operations through
out from the front trenches was able
to declare that not single yard of
territory had been lost.
The Germans came forward every
where in the closest formation and in
successive waves preceded BY the
famous "shock" troops, who were
mown down by the French fire.
The German infantry appeared to
have all the dash taken out of them
by the French defense and made no
attempt to regain the lost ground by
the French reaction. Their artillery
throughout. however, maintained q
sweeping fire. but its effects were
minimized by the enemy's lack of OBJ
servation posts.

British have captured 117.776 prison
ers exclusive of natives taken prison
ers in the African campaigns, many
