The persistence Of the German at

creasing measure the crown princes

ent drive lacks the success which at
tended the 1915 operation in it's
earlier stages. After a brief lull a
powerful attack was delivered last
night on a front of nearly two miles
near the easterly end Of the Chemin-
des-Dames, between Hurtebise and
LaBovelle. The attack on Hurtebise
farm itself was broken up, but fur
ther west certain elements, of the
French front line trenches were pene-
trated by the Germans at the price of
tremendous losses.
In the Champagne also there was
heavy fighting, German attacks fol-

conference.

Washington, July 26.-Conferees
on the administration food control
bill today undertook to reconcile diff
ferences between the hoiise and SEN
ate with a vigorous fight threatened
over certain features OF the legisla-
ton. The task was made the more
difficult by the action Of the house in
instructing the conferees to disagree
to all senate amendments.
The main contests were expected to
come over the senate proposal for the
creation of a congressional war ex-
penditure committee and food con-
troll board OF three members, both OF
which are opposed by President Will
son.
The senate amendment to fix a
$500 minimum for wheat and to per-
NIT continuance of foodstuffs in the
manufacture Of light wines and beer
also are subjects of difficulty to be
overcome in the conference.
Indications are that the senate pro-
hibition provisions may be greatly
strengthened. At least five Of the

Providing Safety Of Country
is Fundamental Problem
of Government.
MORE RESOLUTE

Against Anything that
Threatens Ruin Of State.

Petrograd, July 26.-In an inter-
view today, Premier Kerensky said
the fundamental problem of the pro-
Visional government lay in providing
Sfor the immediate safety Of the coun-
try and the revolution whatever the
cost might be. The government was
determined to make more resolute
stand against anything which threat
ened the ruin Of the state.
The premier stated that re-estab-
lishment of the death penalty at the
front was necessary in view of the
fact that the government was faced
with the alternative of sacrificing the
army to a body Of traitors and cow
ards. or having recourse to the only
possible means Of inspiring terror.
The provisional government, in
complete agreement with the entire
army, took the burden Of heavy re-
sponsibility, the premier explained,
solely in order to save the lives of
heroes who were perishing in the
execution of their duty for the sake
of their country and to remove the
reproach threatening the good name
Of Russia.

Patriotic Demonstrations to

Of the Country.

d I.
Washington. July 26.-All patriotic
demonstrations at the food training
camps to be conducted this fall In
connection with the leading fairs and
expositions will be under the direction
of the Council Of National Defense.
The council will begin immediately
the work Of preparing standard pro-
gram to be put on each fair. Speak
ers will be an important feature. The
plan is to have prominent speakers
address each fair every day on some
phase of the war, emphasizing Amer
ica's entrance into the war, the rea-
sons therefor, and the problems
which must be solved before victory
can be won
The exhibits, too, will play large
part in the demonstrations. An inn
portant result expected to come from
the plan will be to enable the gov
ernment to deliver in the most eff
cient way its message to the twenty
million persons who annually attend
the food training camps. 5S lSg

STILL BEYOND

Generals Have not Succeed

Men in Hand.

Has Been Reported in Pro-
gress for days, But Lon

{By Associated Press.)

Such details of the Russian retreat
in Eastern Galicia as are now coming
to hand do not tend to minimize the
seriousness of the situation. Special
dispatches report that the losses In
heavy artillery will be tremendous and
express doubt as to the ability of the
infantry of the Russian Eighth army
to make good its retreat.
There is still an absence of assur-
ances that the Russian commanders
of the armies taking part in the back
ward movement have succeeded in
getting their refractory troops in hand.
Indications are not wanting, however,
that the process is we'll under way.
There comes through Petrograd, for
instance, the report thatsGeneral Kor-
niloff's drastic measures have includ-
ed the blowing to pieces of an entire
division of traitorous troops of the
Eleventh army by it's own artillery.
What may prove to be saving
feature of the situation is the frm-
ness of the Russian armies both to the
north and the south of the field of re-
treat. There has been no suggestion
of any yielding tendencies of the Rus
sian forces in Volhynia, just to the
north Of the affected sector. while to
the south the Russian troops sare not
holding fast so far as they are able,

manians in successful offensive

TRIED TO FOIL
GERMAN AIMS
Gen. Piludski Arrested as He
Sought to Make His
Escape. VI

Copenhagen, July 26-G General
Piludski, organizer and former conf
n1ander of the Polish legions, has
been arrested by the German author
tiles while attempting to leave Poland
on a false passport.
M General Piludslsis s flight marks the
!culmination of the difference be-
tween the Poles who desire to form
an independent Polish army upon the
nucleus OF the legions and the Ger-
man authoritie who Insist that the
Polish forces must be under Ger
man control. Va
General Piludski had hitherto been
hailed by Germany as a Polish patriot
and the Polish legions held up as q
symbol of the national movement
against Russia. Both the legions and
their conlmander were assigned to
prominent roles at the proclamation
of the Polish king dom.
The Germans now discover that
General Piludski is a republic con-
spirator with leanings toward Russia.

GERMAN PAPERS ARE
BACKING SOCIALISTS
Give Away the Scheme, Show.
ing Stockholm Conference
Is MADE in Germany"
By Arthur E. Mann.

UNITED Press staff correspondent
Copenhagen, May 11.-German news
papers are beginning enthusiastically to
"press agent" the so-called socialist
conference at Stockholm in June.
This press propaganda scheme was
regarded here today as most convinc-
ing proof Of the entirely German char
acter of the scheduled conference"
In December, before Chancellor Won
Bethmann- Hollweg sprang his carefully
prepared "peace proffer,' all German
newspapers suddenly blossomed forth
with predictions Of an approaching
happy event" The ardor with which
the German press dwelt upon this
theme and the parallel lines of thought
about it were too apparent to indicate
anything else than inspiration from the
government.
Today, exasctly the same sort of a
movement is to be discerned. Even
the same words-"an approaching hap.
py event are being used. The infer
ence to be drawn from these German
newspaper articles is that q separate
PCoCC Win huSSla IS forming. Direct
mention is carefully avoided, however
of any such hope in connection with the
|" happy event" expected.
Not Optimistic.
Reliable information today was that
many of Germany's cleverest statesmen
were far from optimistic over the pos
sibility of separate peace with Rus.
STA. Out of the whole peace "plot -
however, they had hopes of persuading
Russia to coax the allies into accepting
terms which would be satisfactory TO
Russia - and satisfactory likewise to
Germany.
In view of this authentic information
tion, the proposals of peace which Borg
bjcrg was reported to be bearing took
on additional significance.
In the meantime, German-influenced
newspapers in Denmark are printing re.
ports that German socialist delegates
to the Stockholm "socialist confer.
ence" will carry peace plan accept.
