RUMORS OF ANOTHER
 GERMAN PEACE OFFENSIVE
Amsterdam Says It is Being Talked
 of in Many Circles.

Amsterdam, June 2.-Ts new German peace offensive coming?" is the question now being asked in many circles. What has often been adN cated in German socialistic and radf~ cal organizations, namely, that Ger many should clearly and unequivocal- ly state the terms upon which she would be willing to make peace is now urged even by the pan-G German Kreuzzertung which judges the pres ent moment as a most opportune one.
 The newspaper says with emphasis it is not a peace offensive that is wanted
 There need be no apprehension, the newspaper declares. that a peace of- fensive will weaken Germany's posi- tion and it argues that those who would leave the entire issue to the sword take too narrow view of this war and show no understanding of it's consequences.
 The Kreuzzeitung goes on pointing out that the absence of a definite gov ernment peace programme is destroy ing internal unity while the lack of political activity in the interval be- tween battles tends to hamper the conduct of the war and leads to all sorts of rumors about disagreements between the government and army commanders
 The government is called upon by the newspaper to appoint immediate ly committee consisting of a leading economist a colonial expert to com plete a program but it urges that time presses and that it must be done quickly

The strength. of Gen. Foch's re- serves has been felt by the armies of the German crown prince in the battle for Paris" East of the line running from Soissons to Chateau Thierry, where the Germans Satur- day in continuation of their mighty strokes gained several additional will lages and then attempted to proceed further westward, magnificent oppo- sition was imposed by the newly strengthened lines and, with terrific smashes, the French forces recaptured Longpont, Corey, Faverolles and Troesnes, vantage points in the cen ter of the line leading to the forest of Eillers, Cotterets, which seems to be the present objective here of the ene- my.
 The Germans, however, still have in their possession the village of Vaure- zis, lying to the west of Soissons. and further south Saconin- Et- -Breuil, Chaudun. Licy and Bouresches, the last named directly west of Chateau Thierry. A little to the southwest of Chateau Thierry the enemy has reached the Marne.
 Nowhere has there been any at tempt by the invaders to cross the river and at all points east of Chateau Thierry they are hugging the north bank of the stream. It is not improb- able, however, that the tactics of the Germans have in view the fording of the river when the time is more pro- pitious, for in the center of the line between Chateau Thierry and Rheims they have pushed back the allied front across the Rhimes- Dornans road be- tween Oilzy-Violane and Vile -Fn . s'ar6enois and are pressing onward toward the. Marne. This is the only peint on their left wing. however, where the enemy, has been able to make fresh Ezins9 aetwithst andins the fact that he has thrown new di- visions into the battle, some of them the best trained troops in the German army. %
 Having failed in all their efforts to conquer Rheims by direct assault. it now seems, to be the intention of the

Germans further to widen their occu- patton of the territory lying south of the Rh&mes-Dormans road and there by outflank the cathedral city and bring about it's capture. In the fight ing in the immediate vicinity of Rheims the enemy won Fort de La Fompelle, but his tenure of the posi- tion was short-lived. for the French troops in a counter attack reconQuer- ed it. Taken in all the seventh day of the new battle found the allied line from Soissons to Rheims, although 1t had been bent back at various points, not so hard pressed as on previous days and seemingly more capable of resisting the enemy's onslaughts. Just how many men the allies are oppos ing against the forty-five German di- visions that are now actively engaged on the Soissons- -Rhimes front has not become apparent, but the fact that on the west the enemy is being not only held but driven back at points and on the southern end of the salient he has been unable to make but slight new progress is apparent evidence that turn in the battle is not far distant
 The British in the regions of Arras, Lens and Bethune are keeping up their trench rafding operations against the Germans. Saturday night contin- gents from the London forces invaded German trench southeast of Arras and took 47 prisoners and a machine gun, while east of Lens and north of
 Bethune similar manoeuvres were successfully carried out and other Germans made prisoner. There is considerable artillery activity by both sides on the northern, sectors of the western front
 As yet the expected great battle has not broken in the Italian theatre. i There has been only moderate artil- lIery activity along the swIaSle front. The Italians and allied aviators, how ever, are busilY engaged in reconnais- sance work and bombing attacks over the enemy lines.
 German airplanes again have deliv-
 cred an attack on Paris. Several per-
 sons were injured by the bomb ex- plosions.

DECLARED WAR AGAINST THE RUSSIAN REPUBLIC
General krassnoff, SeIf-PreeIained Dictator of the Don cossack District.

Moscow, June 2.-British Admiralty Wireless. M. Techertin, the Boishe- vik foreign minister. in a message to Adolph Joffe, the Russian ambassador to Germany denounces General Rass- moe, who has proclaimed himself dic- tator of the Don Cossack district. M. Tchitcherin says:
 Gen. Krasnof is an adventurer who has sold himself in turn to one side or the other and who has now concluded an arm with the Ukrain government headed by Gen. Skorpad- ski inviting foreign help with the ob- ject of bringing the cossack masses into submission.
 Against the invading foreigners the Cossacks should rise in force. Ev- cry advance by Germany towards the east on the basis of the alleged en- forcement of self determination is a contravention of her promises. It is no time to strangle Russia. We have accepted their modus vivendi, why will they strang1e us?"

PLAN To URGE
PROHIBITION
County Democratic Conven-
tons to Insist on Legis-
latiVe Action.

Austin. Tex. Aug 5-Actiug upon
the appeal OF the governor. it is ex-
pected most OF the county Democratic
conventions will instruct their dele
sates 10 the state convention to be
Held at Waco on September 3. to ADOPT
resolutions requesting the 36th. legis-
lature to submit an amendment TO the
constitution providing for prohibition
in Texas.
Gov ". P. Hobby insisted that the
convention shall place a plank in the
Democratic platform urging the sub
mission Of the amendment. The gov
ernor pointed out that in his candi-
oacy for the covernorship he pledged
himself TO favor such an amendment.
Although the governor did not urge
the submission Of a woman suffrage
amendment 10 the constitution, IL is
understood that such an amendment
viii be proposed at the state cOuVen-
tiou. It is generally understood the
governor favOrs such an amendment,
and as many OF the mem hers Of the
legislature pledged themselves I'm IA
Vor Of such an amendment. Il is more
than likely that, both amendments
viii be submitted at the coming ses-
sion Of the seth legislature.
The indications are there will be a
large percentage Of women named as
delegates TO the convention because
it is now apparent that close on TO
100000 women voted in the recent
Democratic primary election. Il is not
unlikely. however. that there will be
