..'e Week
SETTLEMENT HOPED FOR
BY AUGUST FIRST

Washington, D. c., July 16.-The
senate today entered on its fifth and
probably final week of considering the
administration food control bill,
while leaders conferred in further ef-
forts to perfect the measure in such
a, way as to meet the wishes Of Pres
.qident Wilson and to insure its pas
sage.
Under this agreement the senate
will vote on the bill Saturday and
then the measure will be rushed to
conference, where an early agreement
is looked for so that legislation may
be enacted before Aug. /. Senate
leaders today considered the draft OF
proposed changes designed to compro-
mise the chief points of dispute in the
Gore substitute, plainly the restriction
of administration authority. Admins
tration leaders are opposed to this
provision. A fight may also come over
the question of government control
over steel, iron, cotton and other prod
ucts.
It is believed that in the end egis-
lation will be worked out limiting
government control, but in substantial
regulatory power to food, seed and
fuel
Debate on the bill was resumed in
the senate, with prospects of voting
on the amendment being taken during
the day.

By gibson GARDNER.

Washington, d. c., July 1G.-Ameri
can soldiers are going to France JUS
as fast as transports can be pressed
into service to take them.
Just how fast this will be is some
what problematical. If there were
| enough transports available now, and
the situation in respect to cargo ships
were satisfactory, it is probable the
great bulk of the regular army and
the federalized militia would be in
France within the next few months.
Cargo ships are just as important
as transports, as the amount of sup
plies that must be taken to France
for an army of any considerable size
is tremendous. D., .,u,l,n!t..
OF Course, it would be more than
folly to- send troops to- Europe any
faster than they can be supplied with
food, munitions, transports of every
character and the thousand and one
things that go to make up the COM
plete equipment of modern army.
The war department, from the sec.
retary down, is working with almost
superhuman energy to overcome what
at times seems insurmOuntable Obsta-
cles to land an effective fighting force
in France at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
Up to a few weeks ago it was not
thought good strategy to send more
American soldiers to France this year
than was necessary to evidence our
~opJ 60 ifb 70 pu, a11ioc and for 1crn1
effect on Germany.
The allies had about given up all
hope of landing the knockout blow on
Germany this year.
Russia's ability to renew an Offen-
sive on the eastern front was doubted,
and it was thought America could
best contribute to the final overthrow
of the kaiser by diverting all possible
shipping to the feeding of her allies
and supplying them with necessary
war material, while training her
armies here.
Suddenly Russia, contrary to expec-
tations, gathered herself together and
began to strike. Then came well au-
thenticated rumors of great dissatis-
faction and unrest among the people
of Germany.
The possibility of defeating Ger
many THIS YEAR again claimed
the attention Of the allied strate-
aists, and it was decided to press
the enemy on every front and try
to force decision.
It is not too much to say that the
allies hope the German people are
sufficiently disheartened so that six
months pounding on all fronts will
convince them they are doomed to
certain defeat, and cause them to turn
against their rulers.
Under these suddenly changed con-
it was decided that America
could best contribute to the end
sought by adding to the allies
strength on the western front as large
an army as possible, delivered as soon
as possible. .,
The reason for this is only partly
military The bigger reason is to
prove to the German people that their /
rulers lied to them when they told

Advance of 30 Miles, .o'
If this announcement is" true, it

At Kalusz the Russians were re-

French Make Progress.
The hard fighting that has marked
the last few days along the French
front in northern France still con-
tinues. Last night the Germans made
spirited attempts to regain the import
ant observation points they lost when
the French on Saturday night took a
strongly fortified position in the vicin.
ity of Mont Haut and the Teton in
the Champagne district The attack.
ing forces were able to make no i'm.
preston whatever on the Teton posi-.
tion and at Mont Haut they recovered
only a narrow foothold on the edge of
the disputed ground.
The French, in local operations,
made some progress south Of Allies
on the Aisne front and repulsed sew
eral strong attacks near st. Quentin
and south of Corbeny Railing opera;
tions only were reported from the
British front.
d Three attempts made by the Bri.
