to be a certain hanging back in the

The ratification of this amend

Work By Monday At
Latest -......-.....
CRx Associated Press.1

Paris, June 15.-General Pershing's
first day in Paris was naturally filed
to overfowing with social affairs, he
managing, nevertheless to utilize odd
moments for business. It is understood
he will soon leave for a trip to the
front.
Following his attendance at the
chamber Of deputies the general and
his staff motored to an aviation field
to watch the French experts. The air.
men outdid themselves in spirals and
loop-t loops that frankly astonished
the Americans who admitted they had
never seen such in aviation. After an
hour with the aviators, Gen. Pershing
returned to Paris and conferred with
the minister of marines. He then
rested briefly while the ever enthusias-
tic crowd waited outside his hotel. Aft
er his rest he went to keep a dinner
engagement with Minister Of War
Painlve.
While both meetings with the min
lister were of social order 1t is un-
derstood they afforded the American
commander an opportunity to at least
broach the work into which he and all
his followers are so eager to plunge.
Gen. Pershing consented to be
sketched from life by young Partisan
woman artist.
He spoke almost enthusiastically Of
taking up his work. He never used the
personal pronoun but referred to "us."
engagements of a social character
will take up tomorrow but the Amer
leans look forward to settling down
to work by Monday at the latest.

CAMP PAIGN IN
BELGIUM IS
DEVELOPING
Promises to Become One of
the Most Important of
The War
ANOTHER ADVANCE
BY BRITISH TROOPS
Germans Withdraw Big
Guns Preparatory to
Further Retreat

ASSOCIATED Press War Summary
The British campaign in Belgium
gives signs Of developing into one of
the most important of the war. The
Germans are being forced back at a
comparatively rapid rate
Today brings the announcement Of
another considerable advance by the
British in this area. They attacked
last night south and east OF Messines
and on both sides OF the Ypres Comi-
mes canal, gaining all their detectives.
The front line in the British Of
fenstve movement extends seven miles
from the village of Klein Villebeke
south to the river Warnavek. Last
nights attack, the elimination Of
constant pressure, yielded General
Plumer's troops the German front
trenches between the Warnavek and
the Lys rivers, besides additional
ground more to the north, in the sec
tor between Ypres and Confines, the
official announcement indicates.
Signs of a probable further retreat
Of the Germans are not wanting. Cor
respondents have reported the with
drawaI of the German big guns east
and south of Messines to the extreme
limits of their range.
The British artillery command of
the situation seems to be almost
wholly responsible for the yielding
tendencies of the Germans. The Brit
ish big guns secured their advantage
when Messines ridge, the only COM
manding eminence in the region. was
stormed at the opeping Of the often
sive.
Gen. Haig's dispatches have indi-
Gated that important developments
might be expected to grow out of the
offensive in Belgium and his predic-
tions appear to be in the way Of be-
ing made good.
