LENINE HOPES
FOR HUN REVOLT
BOlsheviki Chief Says 1t VIII be
Slow to Start, But Speedy End
of 1t Is Certain.

Amsterdam, July 26.-.Premier
Lenine, in a speech at Moscow be-
fore the government conference of
factory committees, said the posi-
ton of the soviet republic had be-
come acute in view of international
complications, counter revolution
airy conspiracies and the food cri-
sis, according 70 a Moscow dis
patch by way OF Berlin.
The Russian proletariat know
very well, Lenine told the confer
ence. that the united action of the
workers of the entire world or of
some Of the highly developed cap
italistic countries was an essential
condition to the victory of the Rus
sian revolution.
1t was easy for Russia to begin
a revolution, but extraordinarily
difficult TO continue and conclude
it On the other hand, the begin
ming of revolution in such a long
organized bourgeois country as
Germany was extremely difficult,
but then it would be so much cas-
Ter 10 carry II " COulplttiOH
Referring to the Brest-LitOvsk
treaty, Lenine said that according
to the treaty Russia must pay Ger
many 5000 100000 rubles. The at
tempt of the social reyOlutionists
of the Left TO entangle Russia in
war with Germany by the murder
of the German ambassador was no
way to evade the treaty The way
out must be found by the joint ex-
ertions of the. proletariat and the
poor peasants.
Russia, under the Brest-Litovsk
treaty, was to indemnify German
subjects for the loss incurred in
the war. Advices received in Lon
don early in April said the Russian
government estimated these losses
would total 5000, 900 900 rubles. 1t
has been reported. but never Off
cially confirmed. that Germany also
demanded a cash indemnity of sew
eral billion rubles.

the stubbornly resisting enemy
who is taking advantage of every
natural obstacle in attempting to
hold back the allies.
Heavily reinforced, the Germans
are striking back with great vigor
all along this front as well as on
the eastern side of the pocket.
They have not been able to hold
the allies from advancing, although
their resistance has stiffened con-
stantly.
British, and French troops are
unoificially reported to have made
an advance of two miles toward
Fismes in the region of Vrigny and
have reached GOueX and Merry Pre-
mecy, which now are the markers
Of the easter inside. The gain here
not only narrows the pocket, but
also places in great jeopardy the
German forces which are north Of
the Marne in the forests west and
north Of Chatillon.
Military observers on the battle
field believe that the crown prince
before he begins a general retreat,
with the possibility OF losing a large
part of his forces now south Of
Nelse will endeavOr to halt the al
lies by launching a strong attack on

The Germans have reinforced
their right flank of the SOissons-

a new army commanded by General
Won Eben which has been placed be-
tween the armies of General Won
Hutier and General Won Boehn.

With the French Army in France,
July 26.-(Noon, by the Associated
Press.) with the capture today Of
the town of Ouchy- hy-Le-Chateau, the
allies are nearing the summit Of
the plateau overlooking F'ere-En-
Tardenois. Further north, the cap
ture of NillemOntOiTe was effected
after fighting of the most desperate
character in the streets and in the
deep cayerns nearby.
To the east of Reims, the French,
Under General Gouraud have re-
covered virtually the entire line Of
advanced posts which they aband-
oned when the Germans made their
onslaught on the night Of July IA.
The famous Main De Massiges is
again in allied possession.
(By the Associated Press).
Relentlessly the allies are press
ing back the armies Of the German
crown prince within the pocket be
tween scissors and Reins. Allied
capitals would not be surprised if
the situation changed suddenly and
most favorable for General Foch.
Huns Struggle FutiIely.
Caught as within a wise. the Ger
mans are struggling at the height
OF their strength TO stay the steady
pressure. but apparently to no avail.
The French and Americans are ad-
yancing in a northeasterly direction
from Chateau Thierry and north
from the Marne while the British
and French push forward north
westward up the Ardre toward
F'ismes and the Vesle.
From east 10 west at the height
Of the pocket is now but 81 miles,
the enemy having been forced back
something like Is miles since Cen
ssral F'och launched his counter Of
fensiye.
Pocket Under Allies Fire.
The German lines OF communica-
ton are almost gone and the allies
are striking with force and moving
rapidly toward the two most inn
portant bases within the salieng
Fere- -Tardenois and Fismes.
Allied guns now command every
point in the pocket. With the cap
ture of Ouchy-La-Ville on the west
and an advance of more than a mile
on the southwest. Fere-E -Tarde-
nois is now within three and one

CROWDER ORDERS
HALF 1918 GLASS
PUT IN GLASS ONE

Washington, July 26.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder, today
informed state draft executives
that more than so per cent of the
744, 500 registra4ts in the 1918
class are expected to be placed in
class one as physically qualified
for general military service and in
structed them to give special
scrutiny to the report Of any To-
cal board which fails to classify
this percentage.
+ This estimate. General Crowder
said. is based upon a study of the
operation of the draft and the only
exception which will be recognized
are in the case of communities
having a large alien population, or
which have released large num-
bers OF the 1918 class TO the navy,
marine corps or emergency fleet
The national average should be
much higher than so per cent be-
cause Industrial, agricultural and
dependency deferments and physi-
cal reflections should be much low
