WASHINGTON, June 30. = War
prosperity has hit Washington and

brings its load. War talk fills the
air.

Series of Violent Attacks on Entire French Lines
RepuEed With Heavy Losses to Germans
All Attacks Declared fruitess

PARIS, June %. The German
assault against the French lines has
reached stage of general counter
offensive with violent fighting around
Vauxhaillion, Filain, Royier, F'roid-
mont, Chevigny, Chevreud and other
points. The statement declared the
attacks everywhere were fruitless.
"Violent night bombardments were
followed by series of enemy attacks
in the region where there has been
much fighting recently, near Vaux-
haillon and south and southeast of
Filain. All were fruitless. We in
ficted heavy losses. Between Royier
and Froidmont the struggle was Of
the sharpest character. In the latest

Europe. Despotic kings are safe
enough if they have professional
army behind them and if their civilian
subjects are not allowed to possess
arms. But professional armies are
killed early, in such great wars as
this, and it becomes necessary to put
working men and farmers into uni
forms and give them guns and expect
them to take the places of the profess
slonals. This expectation went wrong
IN Russia. The uniform and the CUR

This is one of the newest discover

There was one brilliant second that
stormy afternoon of the revolution
when this fact that the uniform does

Petrograd crowd that was crying for

knouts and swords--a grim sight to
Russian crowd. But out from the
group dashed Cossack, he was as
terrible looking as any Cossack could
be; he wore all the terrifying Co.'S
sack garb, gift of the Car, his face
was black with the Cossack resolu-
ton which the Russion people fear.
He swung his sword and the crowd
tell back, not knowing his purpose.
The steel flashed thru the air and a
crowd of thousand people beheld for
the sight of Russian Cossack killing
a Russian policeman. The crowd
cheered with delight. The cry went
up-"The Cossacks are with us! The
Cossacks are with u.s."
This one incident, it is believed by
some, marked the turning of the tide
against the Gar. It developed after
ward that the Cossack with the sword
was farmer from the Cossack dis
trict. The crowd soon learned that
almost every uniform was only the
disguise of some citizen like them
selves. The rest was easy.

SHORT WAR PROPHETS WRONG

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
At the beginning of May two years
ago, when James J. Hill said the war
would end in October, 1916" when
Lloyds in London, quoted odds of 3
to. / against the war ending before
May, 1915, while odds were even that
it would end before September /, 1915
and 10 to l that the end would come
before March /, 1916, some of the
opinions of big men as to the end of
the war, then printed, ran as follows:
Lord kitchner, British secretary of
state for war, in august, 1314-The
war will last three years. In October,
1914-The war will last two years.
Georges Clemenceau former French
premier, November 2, 1914-Of one
thing alone l am certain, the war will
be long, perhaps very long.
Count Bascherri of France, January
|, 1915-Germany will be vanquished
the kaiser will commit suicide and
peace will be declared on April 27.
Gen. Francois Joubert-Pienaar, ex-
Boer leader, in France, September 27
l914-The war will be long and fierce.
Privy Councillor Richard Witten of
Germany. September 2S, 1914-There
is not going to be any peace, not for
long time. 1t will be a long war. We
are prepared for three years.
Prince Won Buelow, March Ia, 1915
Even if we do not win at once. our
resistance viii be long and may be
changed into victory. The war will
be frightful, monstruos.
Rudolph Martin, former minister Of
the interior of Germany, early in
March, 1915-Germany will dictate
peace terms in London after two years
of fighting.
In the face of events all these
guesses and prophecies, save those
that talked of a long war, seem the
work of mere children playing with
facts and events.

RUSSIA HARD AT WORK
TO ACHIEVE DEMOCRACY
(By William C. shepherd)


Omitted Press staff Correspondent
PETRoGRAD, May 30.-(By Mah)
All Pussia is voting. Not on TIE
men, but the women. There isn't any
woman's rights battle in Russia.
Everybody accepts the feminine right
to the ballot as perfectly natural.
In all the history of the world, per-
haps, there has never been so much
voting by so many different subjects,
as there is in Russia this very minute.
Soldiers are voting; workmen are
voting; moulders, machinists, wash
women, walters, scrubwomen, serv-
ants, cab-drivers, street cleaners, rail
road men, peasants-all are voting.
They are voting for delegates to meet
ings they are voting on hours and
wages; the soldiers are voting on
how to fight and on what orders shall
OF shall not be given to them; they
hcld meetings in the trenches, elect
delegates and send them back to Pet
rograd to repsesent them in the ma
tiona. gathering of soldiers.
And while this storm of voting is
under way the new government, alert
and on its tip toes, waits to know
the popular will and translate it into
law. The government has no army
behind it; and governments without
armies are powerless. The army i:
behind the people-in fact, the army
is the people. So long as the new
government carries out the will of the
people it will have the support oi
the army. Wherefore the masters oi

it informed the recipient that he had

commission was ready at that very
