BATTLE HALTED
BY HEAVY rain
French and British Extend
Lines Despite the
Bad Weather,
(By the International News seryiee.)

Nng the ihterEatlonhi news Servfec.)
London, Aug. 4.-The battle OF
Flanders is a grapple in the mud.
For five days rain has been falling
incessantly until trenches and dug
outs and defense lines are flooded ana
the vast stretches of fiatland are
hopeless bogs across which men can
not charge and which wouA hope
lessly bog any artillery.
The rain has led TO a considerable
diminishing OF the artillery lombard
ment on both sides. 1t has practically
prevented aerial reconnaissances, with
out which artillery work is wasted.
This works to the advantage. of the
Germans. 1t gives them a chance to
steady nerves shattered by 10 days
and nights of incessant bombardment
days and nights of what a semi-of-
fetal dispatch describes as an lin
ferno" and other dispatches call
hell" ..
But the infantry continues to strike
Sharply at some points despite the
OF weather. The French
and British have extended their lines
by strong attacks in the region of
keortekeer. pressing beyond the
village. On the Arras front where the
rain God is also carrying on a
bombardment the British have re-
gained by persistent efforts all the
ground lost in the German night at
tacks around Monchy-Le-Preux.
Viewed ms Decisive Action.
The amount of faith pinned on the
Flanders offensive, IN London, is
growing. 1t is viewed as one of tn.
decisive actions of the war. Here it is
hoped another Marne will be enacted:
here the allies will figure in a
Dunajec. -...... ....
For the tremendous effort which Sir
Douglas Haig has undertaken the
preparations were of the
most stupendous character. Whole
shiploads of ammunition were sent
across the channel, while it is under
stood hundreds of new cannon are
being supplied the British artillery.
On other sections OF the battle front,
the Germans are showing signs of
for efforts to tighten the
pressure against their Flanders flank.
Both at Verdun and on the Aisne
there has been activity. Sharp in
fantry attacks developed against the
French positions in Avocourt wood in
the Verdun sector failed, the French

A Pacific. Port, Aug. 4-"As surely
as the sun shall rise tomorrow, il the
war ends with the triumph of Ger
many, this country will become a sub

This fat declaration was made here
today by Elihu Root, head Of the
American mission to Russia which
has just returned 10 the United
States. at a mass meeting held to well
come the members of his party. While
voicing the warning. however. Mr..
Root expressed no fear OF such an
outcome. Continuing, Mr.. Root said:
This special mission is returning
from a long and faiguing Journey to
a new sister republic. This is a dip
lomatic mission and IL is not feasible
until We have delivered our message
to the State Department that we shall
talk about what we have seen and
what we have found. ] cannot re-
frain, however, from saying that We
bring back from Russia the greatest
sympathy and the greatest admira-
ton for that young democracy now
struggling to solve problems within
few months that this country has
been struggling to solve for forty
years and has not yet solved. We
bring back the kindliest feelings and
the greatest respect for the Russians,
for. their degree Of self-control; their
ability for concerted action. We
bring back an abiding faith that this
great. free. self-governing, democrat
ic government shall be maintained.

that for centuries We have been

LLOYD GEORGE SEES VICTORY;
SENATORS SEEK WAR MESSAGE
Twenty Members Of Upper
House Look to President
Wilson for Expression Of
Americas Intentions in
Prosecuting War on Ger
many.

At least twenty Senator's are pre-
pairing to demand a fresh statement
of the war aims Of the United States
They are both the friends and the
foes of the administration. What they
want is a declaration that will stir
the American people. They believv
that the President should come to
Congress and make this statement.
No intimation has come directly
from the White House That such q
course will be followed Men close
in the Presidents confidence are
known to have urged this course upon
him. 1t Is believed that this is one
of the subjects that Is engaging Mr..
Wilson's mind on his weekly trip down
the Potomac on the Mayhower. It
was learned last night that a clerical
force I IS accompanied the President
on this trip. and It is not believed
unlikely that he may even now be
writing the speech he Is expected to
deliver.

Time Is Opportune.

The treatment OF the crew of. the
British steamer Belgian Prince.
stripped to the skin and hurled from
the deck OF German submarine into
the sea, is looked upon as a splendid
opport ity for the President to make
the XII I OF statement the Senators in
questic would like to have made.
The PRESIDENT has not been asked
to put the United States in the posi-
ton OF abandoning her altruistic aims
in the war. The abstract principle
upon which We warrant hostilities is
still held in the Senate to be the
vindication of democracy.
Also, Washington is determined that
the embargo act will be used TO de-
prive Germany of her fat supplies
from the northern neutrals. There
is to be no wavering in the applica-
ton Of this policy. despite the pleas
of Holland and Scandinavia and de-
spite their tempting offers Of ships.
Chevalier Van Rappard, the Dutch
Minister at Washington, spoke OF this
to the International News correspon-
dent weeks ago.
Holland will stay neutral as long
as she cam" he said with deep feel
ing. But when the first hostile
act Is committed against her, when
the first allen enemy sets foot upon
her soil, Holland will fight as she
has fought generations of powerful
oppressors. She has a million men
under arms. She will use them"
The Washington herald., 1917-08-05
The Kaiser's Plight.

II Germany should declare war
against Holland because Holland
closed her frontier against Germany.
1t would be little loss to Holland,
Washington holds. 1t would mean a
thorn in Germany's side. It would
mean a new frontier for Germany to
defend. 1t would open that fateful
right flank which the British are des-
perately striving to turn in Flanders,
to death blow from the rear.
This is the desperate plight Of the
Kaiser as Washington sees II. Firm
In the position of the United States,
the twenty Senators believe that a
clear statement from the President
at this time may force upon the Kaiser
a realization of his plight and may
even wiring from him all the things
upon which peace talk will be re-
garded here as genuine-the restora-
ton OF Belgium and the abandonment
OF Prussian militarism.
Fear and hate are the only two mo-
dves that will make a people fight"
one OF the Senators involved in this
movement said today. There is no
ground for us to hate the Germans.
But there is every ground for US to
rear the German military caste. II
the President could once make this
clear, in addition to his splendid pro-
nouncements on democracy, it would
end rioting against the draft. 1t would
enthuse the American people in this
was as they have seldom been en-
Unused before"
