Washington, Aug. 1.-The Brit French assault on the German right flank has made a profound impression here because many Am erican army officers believe it is directed at Germany's most vulner- able point.
 Complete success for the allies sweeping the German line back from the sea along the entire Bel gian coast, would be an immediate answer to the U-boat warfare. The North Sea bases for U-boat opera tions would be stamped out. Be- hind that. achievement then would stand the possibility that the entire German line in France could be endangered by flank attack.
 Reports were still too meager last night to disclose the full scope of the new operations. Some ob- servers were inclined to believe however, that unless the drive is supplmented by naval cooperation with a landing behind the present German front, complete success is not to be expected.
 Discussion brought out strongly the fact that many American off cers have studied the situation, but the German right flank offers the only real opportunity to bring the struggle to decisive. issue in a single campaign.
 Short of that they can fOresee only a continuance of the deadly

1t has been noted that numerous small German steamers lying in Dutch waters since the outbreak of war have been captured or de- stroyed recently while attempting to return to Germany, and that several divisions of German troops have been reported massed along the Dutch frontier.
 Some officers believe German suc- cess heretofore has been due partly to the fact the allies have been forced to accept the type of warfare the German high command elected.
 There are officers who believe that with the allies greater forces and more powerful artillery, they

YOUTHFUL HERO IGNORED
 WITH LEGION OF HONOR CROSS
(By Henry Wood, United Press
 Staff Correspondent.


 Paris, July 7 (By MaiD.-The cross of the Legion of Honor was today conferred upon twenty -year-old Alsatian by the name of Alt as the result of a most re- markable career in the French army, prompted solely by his great desire to see his native province of Alsace reunited to France.
 Ats services in the Alsacian cause have now been cut short by the loss of one leg. Although the cross of the Legion of Honor is de- signed to recompense him in part for this, he declares the recompense that alone will satisfy him will be the ultimate return of Alsace to France.
 Alt has been from his boyhOod one of the. most ardent champions of the Alsacian cause. When the war broke out he was at Foul. AL though only IS years of age then, he enlisted in the French Foreign Legion and made the campaign on the Yser. With twenty-seven wounds in his body he was left on the Bel gian battlefield for dead, but was later picked up and taken to a hos pital.
 The doctors declare that it was his determination to get well and keep on fighting for Alsace that pulled him through. Hardly was he out of the hospital than he was back in the French ranks demand ing to be assigned to the most

AIR RAIDS FAILED TO UPSET
 DIGNITY OF LONDON COURTS
(By J. w. Pegler, United Press .. Staff Correspondent.)

London, July 7-(By Mail. J. While bombs rained in the streets nearby and hundred guns roared at the sky during the last big aero- plane raid, judges, counsel and witnesses in London courts went right along with the dull job of boiling down evidence into justice. Rose Written, a pretty girl of sev- enteep, stayed in the witness box in one court ad gave her evidence in little louder tone to be heard above the bombs.
 You need not continue if you are frightened" said the judge to Miss Written.
 "I'm not frightened" she re- piled Let's go on with the story. " Before continuing the case the justice appealed to all in the court room to die like Englishmen" if they must die.
 In Justice Darling's court the roar was deafening, but court did not adjourn for moment. While the raid was at it's worst he turn ed to the counsel and said: "The raid seems to be over. Let us go on with the case till they come back. :" In the chancery court, Justice Astbury interrupted to say: "I am told there is raid goin on. If

now could be certain of fairly quick success if trench fighting could be abandoned for the shift and strategy of field operations. The German, these officers say, has no intention, if he can help, of permitting any change.
 If severe pressure is exerted on the right flank, therefore, the Ger man commanders are expected here to seek relief by an assault or series of assaults elsewhere along the line. The only answer to such tactics would be to ignore enemy successes of this nature and keep pressing home the drive at the right flank.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ perilous tasks.
 Alt had been serving for some time as an observer in a large tree far in advance of the French lines. Eventually the tree fell under sus- picion of the Germans and they at once surrounded it with a barrage fire that made escape practically impossible. The Germans directed shell at the tree, until one struck squarely and felled it to the ground. In the fall, Alt received wounds that made it impossible for him to flee. From nine in the morning un- til midnight Alt lay on the ground, hoping almost against hope.
 At midnight the barrage ceased and German sergeant and two crept out of their trenches to take Alt prisoner. He drew his revolver, waited till they were close, and shot all three. French comrades reached the wounded AL sacian and carried him back to their lines. The Legion of Honor was conferred on Alt at the hospital where he is recovering from the of his leg.

 the greater resources. How long
 the wearing down process would re- quire no official will suggest, how
 ever, and it is pointed out that if
 U-boat activity is not sharply check ed, time will work strongly against the allies.
 Recent German operations have
 produced the impression that the assault upon the right flank has
 been expected. The surprise attack some time, which swept the allies
 back beyond the Yser canal, mate rially strengthened that sector for |the Germans
 VERDUN ATTACK HAD PEACE AIM
 In renewed German assaults up- on Verdun, observers have read also an attempt to prevent an allied con- centration upon the right flank. In diplomatic quarters, however, the Verdun attacks are coupled all so with the Germn advance in Ga licia to furnish the stage setting for the renewal of peace sugges- tions.
 The possibilities of the new of fensive produced the suggestion to- day that if the allied front could I,the Netherlands government might join the allies. Reports have indi- cated the Germans feared some such action by their little neighbor.

HAM HISTORIC FRENCH TOWN
Il Was Here That Louis Napoleon
6onaparte Was Imprisoned Be-
fore His Rise to Power.

Strange emotions must have over
come some Of the older French soldiers
as they hurried through the town of
Ham upon the heels Of fleeing Ger
mans.
1t was in the old fortress at Ham
that Frances last emperor was a pris-
oner for many years, observes Girard
in the Philadelphia Ledger. After Ma
pOleon's downfall at Waterloo Bona
parte was as popular with the succeed
Ing French kings as Jim the Penman
with bank presidents.
So Louis Napoleon BOnaparte, heir
to the Little Corporals dynasty, was
first banished and then shut up Mt
Ham. He escaped from that place aft
er fixing up dummy In his bed to fool
the attendants and putting on the
clothes of carpenter.
He walked through the prison gates
with a piece Of timber on his shoulder,
went to Paris, was elected president,
made himself emperor and was snuffed
out finally at Sedan.
1t was at Ham that Napoleon III
found himself another Man Of Des-
tiny. And for a couple Of decades 1t
seemed as II ne were.
