Or. Michaelis Has Made No Statement
OF His Policies, but German News
papers Say He Must Follow Will
of the Reichstas.
Amsterdam, July 1.-THE situation
in Germany turns upon the question of
the terms of peace.
The next step in the political fight
will come on the peace resolution of
the majocity parties in the reichstag.
The Lokal Anzieger reported popu-
lar peace demonstration on departure
OF Field Marshal Won Hindenburg for
grand headquarters A large crowd
was on hand.
Give us a good peace" the crowd
shorted.
Then came other shouts of Give us
an early peace"
Hindenburg silently saluted.
The reichstag majority's peace Teso-
luton as printed by the Tageblatt fol
lows in part
LAS on Aug. A, 1914, so on the
threshhold of the fourth year of the
war the German people stand on the
assurance OF the speech from the
throne-'we are driven by no lust OF
conquest
Germany took up arms in defense
of its liberty and independence and
for the integrity of it's territories. The
reichstag labors for peace and mutual
understanding and lasting reconcilia-
tion among nations.
Against Forced Annexation.
Forced acquisitions of territory
and political, economic and financial
violations are incompatible with such
peace.
The reichstag rejects all plans aim
ing at an economic blockade and the
stirring up of enmity among the peo
pie after the war, The freedom OF
the seas must be assured. Only an
economic peace can prepare the
ground for the friendly association OF
the peoples
DR. Michaelis, the new chancellor
has made no statement of his policies
German newspapers generally say the
new chancellor must accept the reich
stag majority's will.
The unseating of Won Bethmann
Hollweg is generally credited as vic
tory for the crown prince and Vor

tung declares:
"Dr. Michaelis is Prussian in th'
best sense OF the word, but is not par
ticularly Prussian II his selection IL
to be a wise one he must work witt
the majority. Whether he will find /
impossible to do so is not known"
Die Volksteimmer, leading Socialis
organ of Baden. promises support o
the Socialists If he carries out th'
peace program.

HURRY men TO
RUSSIAN FRONT
Germans Attempt to Stop
SIay Advance.
FIERCE FIGATING PREVAILS

Whole Russian Line From Gulf Of Riga
TO Roumania Alive With Battle.
Town Of Doina Reported Occupied
by SIav Forces.
Washington, July 1.-THE whole
Russian front from tine Gulf of Riga
to Roumania is reported In official dis
patches from Petrograd to the Russian
embassy here to be alive with battle.
The Germans are said to be rushing
up troops from the Italian and French
fronts and to be entirely rearranging
their positions.
On the northern front near Riga
German reinforcements are rushing up
by sea transport On the Lemberg
front the troops are being shifted back
and forth by means of heavy automo-
biles in an attempt TO prevent further
advances by General Kornilof. On the
southern front, in the Carpathians, the
Austrans are said to be in full flight.
London, July 17-Although the
movement of the Russian infantry en-
gagged in General KornilOff's big of
fensive in Eastern Galicia is being
hampered by bad weather the Cos
sacks apparently have been able to
keep up their dashing tactics. This is
indicated by report from Petrograd
that the town of Dolina has been oc-
cupied by Russian forces.
If this announcement proves accur-
ate it means an advance OF more than
thirty miles for the Russians since
the opening of the drive south@sf the
Dniester a week ago.
Two-thirds Of Way Won.
The official reports have placed
them nearly two-thirds of this distance
from their starting point, as kalusz
taken by Korniloff's troops last week
is some twenty miles from Stanislau
which virtually was their place of de
parture.
At kalusz the Russians were estab
lished on the westerly bank of the
Lomnica, whence the Austrians had
not been able to drive them. although
heavy attacks had been launched in
the attempt.
The hard fighting that has marked
the last few days along the French
front in Northern France stfll con
tinues During the night the Germans
made a desperate attempt TO regain
the important observation posts they
lost when the French on Saturday
took a strongly fortified position in th'
vicinity OF Mont Haut and the Tetor
| in the Champagne. The attacking
| forces were able TO make no impress
sion whatever on the Teton positions
and at Mont Haut they recovered onl!
a narrow foothold on the edge of th'
| disputed ground.
The French, in local operations
made some progress south of ALLIES OF
the Aisne front and repulsed seyera
strong attacks near st. Quentin AM
| South Corbeny.
