PARIS, July 17.-"Me regret being unable on this occasion to follow the counsels of our masters, the French, but the American flag has been forced to retire. This is uncomfortable and none of cur soldiers would understand their not being asked to do whatever is necessary. to re-establish a situation which is humiliating to us and unae- ceptable to our country's honor. We are going to counter attack"

 cles here which creates an impression that the present German stroke was prompted more by internal economic considerations and by the state of po- litical unrest in Austria and Go lesser extent in Germany than by merely military reasons. It was argued today that the selection of the front of at tack might be due to the necessity Of getting forward at a time when the military authorities did not feel justi- fled in pressing against known allied reserve concentration in front of Paris and behind Amiens
 It is regarded as certain that the American fiasco in Italy played some part in the present movement. That disaster had to be offset and at the same time, with the army budget in difficulties in Germany, the effect or a successful blow in the west might have been very great at home. Exten- sion of the battle line to the east of Rheims probably was made, in this view because of the anticipation that this region would be found to be less firmly held than the roads to Paris or the channel ports and the cost oi success be less proportionately

 Everywhere the battles are being stubbornly contested, and where the French and Italians have been com pelled to give ground it has been only after the inflictiOn of extremely heavy casualties on the invaders. The Amer jeans nowhere have been forced to withdraw. At FOssOy, near the beud of the Marne between Chateau Thier- " and Dormans, they have made further improvements in their posi- tions. Like their French comrades the Americans also have been engaged in violent fighting.
 It becomes increasingly apparent | the German command is attempting i the plotting out of the Rheims salient and the strengthening of the line east ward through Champagne toward Yer dun. The hardest fighting of Tuesday was southwest of Rheims, where the enemy is endeavOring to break through the hill and forest region. l Rheims to Epernay and force the evac'

RETURN OF TROOPS
TO TAKE LONG Time
Estimate Is That Eight to Ten
Months Will Be Required

Washington, Nov 30.-Boston, New
York, Newport News, Va, and
Charleston, S. c., are the ports the
War department now plans to use for
the return Of the army from overseas.
Even with this wide distribution of
the strain port facilities and trans
ration, however, and with German
ships now idle in German harbors
employed on the task, careful esti-
mates show that the last of the army
could not possibly reach the United
States in less than eight months. Con-
sentative calculations, upon which
preparations by the department PROB
ably will be based, fix ten months as
the minimum.
These estimates have been made
wholly on the basis Of the physical
difficulties to be overcome and do not
take into consideration the question
of the retention in Europe for some
time of an American force which may
be agreed upon at the peace confer
ence. If the return movement, al
ready in progress, is continued at full
speed, the last division, in all prob
ability, could not reach the United
States before October 1919
Decision to route the troops to
their homes through the four ports
mentioned is understood to have been
based on two main considerations
First. they have been equipped to
handle the transports and the men,
and second they are the natural gate
ways to the country, each fed by an
independent rail system ramifying
back through geographically indie
pendent sections of the United States
BY loading the ships as far as possible
with men from the same general Sec
ton, it will be possible, army officers
say, to avoid cross carrying and dis
ruption of normal traffic in getting
the soldiers from the ships to their
homes.
In estimating for transport tonnage
available for the movement, officials
have not only looked ahead to the new
ships which will be delivered during
the demo Utilization period by the
shipping board, but also upon idle
German ships, including two new and
very large liners reported to have
been almost completed. Among the
known German steamers is the I'm
perator, almost as large as the Water
land, now the Leviathan. The two
new German lines are of approx
mately the same size as these craft.
Each Of these four can carry nearly
10000 men a trip.
The German vessels, eastbound
after unloading American troops.
would carry food supplies to be
allotted Germany.

John f. Leeney of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, has telegraphed the
following resolutions to President
Wilson:
Hon. Woodrow Wilson,
Pres. United States Of America,
Washington, d. G..
Dear Sir:--In the name of 10000
Hibernians of the state Of Connecticut
we most respectfully urge you, Mr..
| President, to champion the cause of
, Ireland at the peace table.
AS the boys OF this country fought
and many Of them died, no inconsid-
cradle number of whom belonged to
the Irish race, that your principle of
self determination for small nations
and the God given right to democratic
government might spread throughout
the world: and as Ireland has a
higher claim and longer title to these
possessions than any other nation. we
feel that our sacrifices would have
been In vain and the principles for
which we fought be betrayed, II her
cause were eliminated from peace de-
liberations.
We feel that IL will be forgotten
unless you, Mr.. President, become her
advocate. Therefore, to prove our
good faith to the world. will you not
defend her claims?
