TR e EATIES ABROGATED
Diplomatic Negotiation Under Way to

Provisions Of the

TREATIES ABRoGATED
[By Webb Miller, United Press STAFF
Correspondent


WASHINGTON, July 26
MA The United States toda!
~ is nesotiating with tn,
many hundreds of thousands of alien
in this country to fight under th,
American flag.
Before the time for second levy
the necessary abrogations of treaties
and action by congress will bring
aliens under the draft law.
In every section of the nation ar
outcry against the Obvious injus
tice" of the present law as applied
to non-cittzens is rising. Already /,
has reached congress and forced
action.
The McCumber resolution to draft
aliens is today before a sub-commit
tee of the senate foreign relations
committee. Under this resolution
aliens may be drawn into the army
or deported upon refusal to serve.
The war department has approved
the resolution, but the state depart
ment has pointed out diplomatic OBJ
structions in specific treaties with q
half dozen countries preventing draft
ing their citizens into the U. s. mill
tary service.
At the Italian embassy today, IL
was stated diplomatic negotiations
were under way to bring 10000
Italians of military age in the United
States under the provisions of the
draft. At present neither the Italian
hands on them.
Each of the allied countries is ex.
pected to acquiesce In the speedy
notification of any old obstructing
treaties and agreements. But wheth.
er they do or not, officials here de-
clare that congress may act-that
laws supersede the treaties. Nations
at war with Germany are hardly ex.
pected to object to conscription OF
their subjects here.
The mail Of the war department is
flooded with bitter protests from
cities where there is large alien
population. Claim Is made that near
ly every American will be taken in
the first levy from certain districts
with heavy alien population. In Chi
cago one-fourth Of the entire regis
tration is exempt as aliens.
Many other northern states have
big alien percentages. In Massa-
chusetts 20 per cent Of the entire
population are non-citizens; Illinois
has fifteen per cent; Michigan. 19
per cent; Connecticut 81 per cent;
California "a per cent, and Arizona
40 per cent. The southern states
have the lowest alien percentages.
North and South Carolina have only
.OO3 per cent of non-citfzens.
In the cities and states with heavy
alien population, the burden is shift
ed heavily upon the American citi-
zens while the foreigners are left to
preempt the work OF the fighting
men.

LONDON, July 26-Russia's routed
army in Galicia may have lost to the
Germans all the wealth OF artillery
and military supplies which the allies
concentrated for General Brusiloff's
great offensive.
Even II Premier Kerensly and his
ministry, armed with unlimited pow
ers, succeed in stemming the rout
supplies of incalculable value have
been lost.
Dispatches today served to increase
the realization here of the gigantic
task undertaken by the new democ
racy--that of reforming apparently
panic-stricken, spy-infested troops
with a new spirit that would i'm
bue them to make a stand against
the ever-increasing encroachment Of
the Teutonic armies.
They told Of the wild confusion with
which the Russian Eleventh army
turned tail and ran, some of its sol
dfers shooting down their own com
rades of the artillery that they might
flee on the horses attached to the CUR
limbers. Big guns were abandoned
supplies were lelL WuSIe Iuey lay
Stores Of ammunition were disre
garded.
Through all the story London de
tected the work Of the German secret
agents.
PLANTED" in Russian regiments, the
Germans apparently waited until the
offensive had attained its height with
a great concentration Of forces and
supplies and then acted concertedly
so that the greatest possible booty
might fall into the hands Of the Ger
mans.
Great fear was felt here today for
supplies Of the Seventh and Eighth
Russian armies, also on the Galician
front.
The panic of fear, fostered by Ger
man agents, apparently had not totally
unseated the reason Of these troops,
but the rate Of the German advance
has been so rapid that it is doubtful
If the two armies can save all their
supplies.
One encouraging feature was the
loyalty Of Russian and Rumanian
troops in the southern Carpathtans
where they have vigorously attacked
the Teutonic forces.
The fighting on the far northern
front, around Wilma, however, has
practically ceased. Petrograd dis
patches admit instability of troops
there.

CONFIDENT OF WINNING

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
[Germany won't be starved next
winter. Germany is beginning to be-
lieve U boats won't starve England.
The feeling against America in
Germany is not bitter, but-President
Wilson is close to Number One on
the German strafe list.
These are some Of the impressions
acquired in Germany by distin-
guished newspaper man of neutral
nationality, who cabled the United
Press the following dispatch today; ]
AMSTERDAM, July 26.-I have
brought home the conviction that the
fourth winter of the war will strike
the Germans hard, but that the allies
will not starve Germany into a sur
render. At the moment the economic
situation is not desperate, as the
Germans have raised tremendous
quantities of vegetables, partly in
consequence Of the very hot summer
weather.
This, however, does not prevent
many Germans from looking forward
with pessimism to the winter.
Prospects for cereals are very
good, but the fodder question seems
serious and many cattle will have to
be killed in the fall for lack of feed.
The question of the fat supply will
thereby be made the more difficult.
The potato crop looks good. Great
areas of former waste land have been
cultivated by conva1escent soldiers
and Russian prisoners.
The food problem is the subject Of
continual discussion With much bad
feeling against certain classes alleged
to get more than their share. The
soldier rations are still good.
Beside the rationed foodstuffs,
there are still unrationed articles,
but the restaurant meals of these
are very expensive.
War material still seems plentiful
Gun and ammunition factories are
working day and night Confidence
is general that the German armies
will keep the enemy outside of Ger
many.
Confidence in the ability of the
submarine to end the war is grow
ing slim. Many Germans believe
the allies will hold out until 1t is
proved that even with American help
they cannot break the German lines
in Belgium and France-then they
will be willing to talk peace.
In diplomatic circles the giving up
Of Alsace Is declared not worth dis
cussing. This is also the popular
feeling. On the other hand the de-
mands Of pan-Germans for annexa-
tions are not supported by the gov
ernment or the people.
The feeling against America Is not
bitter, but President Wilson is about
the best hated Of men. His last
have been ridiculed and
cited as proof that he does not know
Europe.
The idea that Austria could make
a separate peace-which Germans
consider prevalent in America-is a
subject for laughter in Berlin and,
what is more important, likewise in
Vienna.
