BRITISH YIELD POSTS
IN NORTHERN FRANCE
Advanced Ground Given up, but
Main Positions Held.

London, June 19.-The developments
on the western front tend strongly to
bear out recent information that Hin
denburg proposes to make a titanic
effort to force a decision in France
this summer.
Upon the heels of his partly sue
cessful infantry attack against the
French below Laon Sunday, preceded
and followed by continuous, terrific
gun fire, he brought his reorganized
forces on the northern front into play
Monday. He tackled the British where
they are most menacing to his Wotan
line, to the east of Monchy lie ProuX.
Here Sir Douglas Haig's Arras drive
thrust a deep wedge into the Bavar-
ian Crown Princes lines protecting
Donai. On June IA the British smash
ed even further eastward.
British headquarters admit that af-
ter a bitter combat the Teuton storm
ing columns succeeded in penetrating
some advanced positions. The main
position, in Infantry hill, remained in
British hands, however.
simultaneously the Teutons launch
ed a violent cannonade against the
British lines below Ypres, where Gen
eral Plumer crashed in the Wyt-
schaete salient eleven days ago.

The causes which forced the
American people to declare war
against the German Government are
revealed by the President in terse
and direct phrases:
The American people" he says
"have suffered intolerable wrongs at
the hands OF the Imperial German
Government, but they desire no re-
priSals from the German people, who
have suffered all things In this war
which they did not choose. They be-
heve that peace should rest upon the
rights OF the people. not the rights OF

curity and lf-government and to a

and not seek domination"
The national aims OF the United
states in this war are. he says,
known 10 the whole world-"to every
peopleOto whom the truth has been
permitted to come" Consequently he
expresses the opinion that these aims
need not be stated again.

Yoys have never doubted that tho

Few IL any persons who are advised

dissenting opinion as was expressed
naturally emanated from the negli-
