Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baltimore, Md.-President Wilson
came to Baltimore and formally open.
ed the third liberty loan drive, with
review of $4,000 troops OF the national
army from Camp Meade Md, and
made a speech, accepting Germany's
challenge that the issue between the
central powers and her enemies be set
tied by force, in the hall in which he
was nominated for his first term as
President
After reviewing briefly the evidence
that Germany seeks peace for her
world dominion, the President de-
clared:
Il accept the challenge. | know that
you accept it. All the world shall know
you accept it. 1t shall appear in the
utter sacrifice and self-forgetfulness
with which we shall give up all that
we love and all that we have to re-
deem the world ard make it fit for free
men like ourselves to live in. This
now is the meaning Of what we do.
LET everything that we say, my fel-
low countrymen, everything that we
henceforth plan and accomplish, ring
true to this response till the majesty
and might of our concerted power shall
fill the thought and utterly defeat the
force of those who flout and misprize
what we honor and hold dear.
Quotes Germany on "Foree."
Germany has once more said thai
force, and force alone, snail decide
whether justice and peace shall reigr
in the affairs of men; whether righ
as America conceives it, or dominion
as she conceives, shall determine the
destinies of mankind.
There is, therefore, but one re
sponse possible from US; force, force
to the utmost; force without stint o.
limit, the righteous force which shal
make right the law of the world, ant
cast every selfish dominion in tn
dust"
Warning anew that a triumph o
arms for Germany means ruin for al
the ideals America has won and live
for, the President reiterated he wa
willing to discuss at any time a fail
just and honest peace, sincerely pre-
posed-"a peace in which the stron
and weak shall fare alike"
But the answer" he said, when
proposed such a peace came from tn

Germans Counter-attaCkCd and got back
q slight portion of their losses.
In the south there was new activity.
Below the Scarpe the British continued
TO push forward last night and today.
A vicious German Counter-attaCk at
Eaucourt- l. 'Abbaye was repulsed with
heavy losses.
South of the Bapaume the Germans
this morning launched another heavy
counter-attack. The British permitted
them to come up to the British trenChes
and then met them with the point of the
bayonet. In the close fighting In this
region numerous Germans were killed
or captured and the others fled rather
than face the British steel.
In many places where the Germans
have been forced to retreat the British
are progressing cautiously because the
Germans have placed mines in the roads
m the hope of delaying the advancing
artillery, transports and troops The
British, knowing the ways of the enemy,
however, so far have not been caught
by these devices.
More prisoners, heavy guns and ma

twelve hours.
The Germans apparently expected
something was going to happen south
Of the Somme. Late yesterday when
British patrols pushed in outposts the
enemy counter-attacked. but he was
forced to quit without gaining any
ground.

Copprioht, 1918. By Nc,c York Times Co.
Paris, Aug. 26.
Senator Lodges statement of our war
aims expresses the sentiment Of our
officers and soldiers now in France. The
general feeling in these circles is that
unity and efficiency would be promot ed
by the Republicans adopting a strong
policy and leadership.
At the front I heard many calls for
Theodore Roosevelt's more active partici-
patton in war affairs Men who are
doing such work as falls to the lot of
our soldiers need all the inspiration they
can get and no man is more capable Of
shaking the mind and heart of the SOL
dier than Roosevelt. His red d-blooded
talk and his willingness to back it with
personal sacrifices appeal to fighting
men. There is nothing but admiration
and loyalty for President Wilson. but
our soldiers seem to feel that there is
room enough for every one in this big
war, and 80 per cent of them would
shout If they saw the Colonel take n
more conspicuous seat on the Land
wagon.
Senator Lodges pronouncement has
been received here as indicating an ac-
cession of vital energy and strength to
the Republicans without In any way
weakening President Wilson's grip on
the war management.

Milan, Aug. &c.
Strange and significant discoveries
have just been made at a sumptuous
villa overlooking the famous battlefield
of Montana. The villa was constructed
about a decade ago. according to the de-
signs of the Dresden magnate. Heinrich
Karbeleck, who himself superntended
the dwelling for a time till the cxigencies
of war hurried him back to the Father
land.
Karbeleck left the administration of
the villa and the cultivation of the sur
rounding estate to the care of his head
gardener and peasant employees. Soon
stories became rife about the mysterious
arrival from Germany in the year pre-
ceding the war of a number of huge,
heavy cases and that the marvellous
property was equipped for the purpose
of fortress.
Ofcialdom looked upon the current
tales as amusing creations sprung from
the fertile imagination of the country
folk, though It recognized that various
terraces banked around the villa and
f1oored with reinforced concrete might
do service as gun emplaComents.
Since the evil repute or ehe place con-
tnued to grow apace, attracting holi-
day crowds of curious sightseers, a
squad of carabiniers were finally sent
from Monterotondo under orders to make
a thorough search. Buried in the base
ment were found big stores of pistols,
rifles and munitions, and, according to
the Corriere Della Sera, even machine
guns have been brought to light.

With the French Armies. Aug. 26.
ut depends on the British" was the
phrase wherein an officer summed up
the military situation for your CORE
spondent yesterday. If the enemy
yields before the terrific hammering
that has developed into n second bat
tie Of the Somme on a front OF htty
kilometers he will be forced to abandon
also the formidable positions. strength
! ened by old fortifications, which con-
front the armies of Debeny, Humbert
and Mangin.
True to his policy Of never sacrihc'
Ing lives unnecessarily, Foch is mark
Ing time in the center and on the right
Of the vast battlefront during the
progress of the maneuvers on the LETT.
You cannot overemphasize," con-
tinued this officer, "the value OF the
single command at the present juno.
ture. Already the plan has saved the
Allies in Defense If by nothing more
than the possibility which it afforded
to replace reserves with perfect free
dom and utilize the British, French,
Americans or Italians without distinc-
ton of nationality wherever they were
most needed.
Advantage Of United Command
But it is in offensive operations
where the mind Of the commander has
full scope for combined maneuvers on
a grand scale wherein each move ia
! co.ordinatcd and correlated to the rest,
that the advantage is most evident
and striking. You have only to COM
pare this with the results already at
tanned in the second battle of the
Somme with the laborious plugging of
the 1916 conflict to appreciate their
immense differences in the Allies
favor.
II venture to say without eXaggera-
ton that optimism is justified today
to degree never hitherto ap-
preached"
The speakers last words illustrate
the remarkable change which the
| events of the last six weeks have pro-
| duced. Your correspondent has drawn
attention on several occasions to the
! unbiased manner in which the most
competent French soldiers have judged
| each phase of the military situation.
During the months of doubt and
anxiety they discussed the dangers
and difficulties confronting the Allies
with the dispassionate calm of the un.
prejudiced critic toward a purely aca.
demic problem. Always they showed
, the same readiness to give the enemy
credit for making a good war" as to
praise the successful operations Of
the Allied defense.
1t is this attitude that makes the
personal optimism so striking. The
feeling SENS to be growing that the
enemy is nearer the end Of his tether
than the world imagines.
What General Humbert foresaw
