Amsterdam. Aug. 15.-Admiral Won
Hintze, German foreign secretary, be-
fore leaving for main headquarters
to take part in conferences between
Emperor William and Emperor
Charles OF Austria and their advisers,
was interviewed by the Berlin cor
respondent of the Cologne Gazette,
Admiral Won Hntze discussed the
statement of Premier Lloyd George
in his war anniversary message that
six months ago Germany deliberately
rejected just and reasonable settle
ment proposed by the allies and that
Germany discarded finally the mask
of moderation toward partitioned Rus
sia and enslaved Roumania Admiral
Won Hintze said:
Had the entente statesmen serl-
ously intended to pave the way for a
peace by understanding they could
have approached Germany through
the properly authorized persons with
a view to bringing both parties into
contact"
Admiral Won Hintzc said that sew
eral German chancelors had pointed
out that the enemy continued to show
a will to prosecute the war until the
annihilation of Germany should be
accomplished.
In concluding, Admiral Won Hintze
was emphatic in asserting that guilt
for the prolongation of the war lay
not with the Germans but with the

BAkU TAKEN BY
BRITISH FORCE
FROM PERSIA
Occupation Of Caspian Sea-
port Opens Opens Way for
Allied Aid to Reach the
Loyal Russians.

London. Aug. 1S.-A British force
from northwestern Persia has
reached the Caspian sea and taken
over part of the defenses of Baku.
If the British can hold their posi-
tion a short time longer, which now
seems likely, they probably will be
able to cut off the enemy from an out
let to the sea, thus protecting the inn
portant oil fields of the Baku district.
1t appears from the meager infor-
nation at hand in London that the
British detachment voyaged by
steamer from Enzeli, Persia. to
Baku, demonstrating that the allied
hold on the Caspian sea already is
fairly established. The allied naval
forces now undoubtedly will endeavor
to secure their communications and
once this task is accomplished there
will be hardly a possibility of the CEN
trail powers gaining possession of the
Baku oil fields.
The British advance through Per-
sia from Bagdad was accomplished
under the greatest difficulties. In the
mountainous sections the troops were
resisted by a few groups of tribes
men, but they quickly overcame this
opposition. The British force crossed
the Persian frontier and reached En-
zelli. on the Caspian sea. by the way
of Hamadan.
The situation in the Caucasus has
been extremely involved ever since
the conclusion of the Brest-Litovsk
peace. Under that treaty Turkey was
given important territory in the
southern Caucasus, and the Turks
shortly proceeded to occupy it. They
met with considerable resistance
from the Armenians in the district,
however, particularly when they en-
deavored to push even beyond the
limits set by the treaty made with the
bolsheviki and moved up the coast Of
the Caspian sea toward Baku,

President Wilson Is determined to
bring the war to conclusion by
concentrating all forces on the west

Baker told the committee, and Gen

ing that it was the purpose to end the

chief of staff declared, would be but
playing Germany's game"

Secretary Baker said that the accel-

British Force Captures Two

The fighting on the Somme-
Disc battle front still continues
of a minor character compared
with that of the early part, of
the week, when the Germans
reinforced their line and stop
ped the eastward sweep of the

Nevertheless the British and
French again have been able to gain
ground on two important sectors

villages of Damery and Parvilers,
and the French on the southern wing
of the battle front, where they have
captured two farms in the process of
clearing the hilly and wooded dis
trict around Lassigny OF the enemy.
Germans Falling Back.
North of the Somme between Al
bert and Arras the Germans are con-
tinuing to fall back and the British
are keeping in close contact with
them. Thus far the Germans have
definitely given up the towns of Beat
mont-Hamel, Serre, Bucquoy and
Pui;ieux-Au-Mont, and at several
points have crossed the Ancre river.

No official explanation has yet been
advanced of the retrograde move
ment of the Germans over this front,
but it is not at all unlikely that the
operations on the Somme front and
the harassng tactics Of the British
recently have employed made the
enemy desirous of establishing him
self on new ground eastward, with
the Ancre river a barrier between
him and his foes. At any rate, the
Hebuterne salient has virtually been
obliterated by the retirement of the
Germans and seemingly now they will
be compelled to make readadjust-

and Arras.

Washington, Aug. l5.-Another
violent attack on Prussian policy,
with warning of the storm brewing
in Russia and frank tribute to Brit
ish and American soldiers fighting for
their ideals, has just been published in

the free spoken German editor. An
official dispatch from France today
quotes extracts from the article, COM
menting particularly upon the action
of the German censors in permitting
it to appear.
"At the moment when the fire of
Slavic hatred coming from four cor
ners OF Russia is developing into one
single immense fame" Harden asked,
how can Our rulers think Of finding
supporters for thrones and supplying
candidates for them? Are our rulers
desirous of supporting the plans
