storm to be spreading so swiftly that
events Of decisive nature are to be
expected momentarily
To some observers it appeared that
Marshal Foch had seized the psyche
logical moment to hurl against the
of the Allied and American forces, pos
sibly with the expectation that crash
on the Western front is close at hand.
Among army officers it was said that
the launching of the British Belgian
thrust was but a part of the carefully
prepared programme which is de-
signed to hold the German army in the
north to its lines there while the crit
ical blow of the French and American
armies in the Meuse and IN the Cham
pagnc is pressed home.
Strain Soon May Tell
From any point Of view it appeared
to military men that the tremendous
strain could not long be endured by the
enemy. The hour when he must again
attempt on wide front the most diff
cult military manoeuvre - withdrawal
under attack-appeared not far distant.
There is little doubt here that the first
stages of the retirement to the Belgian
liVHeASi VIII SoVl DC cNlueHt, IL tue
movement has not already begun.
At every critical point Mashal Foch
is striking hammer blows While Gen.
eral Pershing's advance along the
Meuse is growing increasingly menac-
ing every hour to the whole German
position. the French are battering
again at the Chemin des Danes ridge,
which screens Laon. Should they win
the fanking position on the high
groun at which they are driving, enemy
columns on both sides would be under
fire and the withdrawal from the Aisne
line might we'll become rout.
Yankees May Turn
AS the objective of the main Amer
lean thrust, some observers were in
cined to-day to look for turn toward
Longuyon, to the northeast, after a
little more progress. Longuyon IS the
rail centre through which. flow tho
enemy communication lines, not only
for large part of the lines at which
the French and Americans are now
striking, but also for the great Metz
fortress. 1t also is so located that
from positions in this vicinity Ameri-
can guns would command the great
Longwy iron field and render it almost
useless to the enemy.
The starting at any time Of drive
on the Italian front is expected by
many officers here. Austrian dis
patches recently have admitted that
an offensive army Of 100000 had been
concentrated by the Italians.

 The dispatch adds that the programme will be discussed with Baron Burian, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister
 Baron Burian, the Austro-HunSarlan minister for foreign affairs, in an inter- view printed today in Az Est, said he still adhered to the policy of peace by understanding as expressed in December, 1916, and continued:
 ''The dual monarchy seeks no annexa- tions. We already have concluded four peace treaties, but none of them con- tains anything that could be interpreted as conquest.

Agreement Is Reached to Vote on Question
 of Secret Treaties

Washington. June 11.-An agree ment was reached in the Senate late today to vote at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon on the proposal of Senator Borah of Idaho for public considera- tion of treaties. an amendment to the Underwood resolution to limit all de- bate during the war.
 The agreement for disposition of the Borah amendment, which provides that treaties shall be considered with open doors unless two-thirds of the Sen a te should determine otherwise, fol- lowed several days of spirited discus sion of secret and open diplomacy. De- feat of the proposal generally is eX- pected, though the Senate is~ closely divided. A,vote on the Underwood rule itself probably will follow with it's advocates confident of adoption.
 Opponents of the Borah plan re- newed their attack today Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. chairman of the foreign relations committee, Sena- tors Reed of Missouri, Mclean of Con- necticut, Brandegee of Connecticut, Smith of Arizona and others criticized the amendment. while the Idaho mem Der and Senators Fall Of New Mexico and Norris of Nebraska urged it's adoption.
 Senator Borah vigorously contended that his proposal is in accordance with President Wilson's statement in his address of January for "open cove nants of peace openly arrived at" Challenging the Idaho senator's con struction Senator Hitchcock declared it "preposterous." and said the Prcsi- dents words were aimed at the general European practice of making secre; trestie without informing the people

German Official Report

Berlin. June 11-(Via London.)-'fhe number of prisoners taken by the Ger mans in the new offensive has in. creased by more than 10000, making tbe aggregate of prisoners taken sincs May 27 about 75,0o0, says the German official communication issued today.
 The communication adds that the Germans have repulsed with heavy losses attacks northwest of Chateau Thierry, in which region American marines and French troops are op- posed to them
 The text of the statement reads
 "Fighting activity, which has been moderate throughout the day, revived only on both sides of the Somme. After the firing had greatly increased. the enemy attacked in the evening between the Ancre and the Somme. A local break through by the enemy on the Corbie- Brave road was brought to a standstiI by counter attack. On the rest of the front the attack broke down with sanguinary losses.

Divisions of the French army re- serves. who were brought up for cen tralized counter attacks, also were re- pulsed yesterday in bitter fighting.
 "On the right wing of the attack the troops under General Won Oetinger maintained the lines which had been captured from the enemy south of As sain-Villers against violent counter at tacks.

Germany Trying For
 Big NaUal OfensiUe

Washington, June 11.-Further evidence that Germany, in it's efforts to end the war this summer, is planning to sup port it's land offensive by sending it's high seas forces against the combined British and American grand fleet, is given in an official dispatch today from Switzerland
 "A telegram of an official nature, says the dispatch, lis being spread broad cast in Germany, which says that the German admiralty is considering a big naval offensive. Orders are supposed to have been given to keep the whole fleet in readiness and certain number of naval officers of high rank have been hurriedly recalled from Switzerland and other neutral countries, where they have been spending their leave.
 The Kieler Zeitung speaks of extraor- dinary activity in the ports and the Hamburger Post publishes an interview with Won Tirpitz, who was asked if Germany was in q position to measure herself with the English fleet. The ad- miral naturally replied in the affirma- tive, saying that after their land force:

river transportation, would insurmount- ably handicap the Warrior project, and convinced that the disparagement be- tween the price of yesterday and today at least indicated profiteering, pre- ferred charges which are now being in vestigated by the assistant secretary of the treasury
 The former officials of railroads have taken the position that if McAdoo will spend on improvement of railroads a sum equal to that the various river projects would require, there would be no railroad congestion. In this man ner they answer the argument that whereas IS days are consumed in trans porting coal by rail from Alab bama mines to New Orleans, only seven days are consumed in transporting the same tonnage to the same destination by water. The fight is a bitter one and the result is still in doubt. However, as MT McAdoo is now convalescing after recent illness, it is indicated that a verdict will not very much longer be delayed,

have pushed the French and English
 back on the other side of Paris, it
 would be the turn of the Kaiser's boats
 to drive the English off the high seas.
 Both in Washington and in the allied
 capitals German sea offensive on a
 grand scale long has been regarded as
 possibility and the appearance of the Teutonic fleet in the North sea at any time would not be unexepected. Rear Ad- miral Gleaves said in public address not long ago that word had come to the British fleet that the Germans at last were ready for the supreme test.
 If the battle does come American naval forces will play their part. American ! dreadnaughts under Rear Admiral Hugh
 Rodman joined the British fleet some time ago and Admiral Cleaves in his re-
 cent address said that when Admiral
 Beatty, commanding the British grand
 sea forces, heard that the Germans were coming, he assigned the American ships a | prominent place in the line.
 American naval officers are no less anxious for a finish fight with the enemy than are the British And in all. it is considered, there is supreme confidence 1 in the outcome. Once the two fleets come | to grips, officials are certain, the Ger
 mans will be decisively defeated.
