Mrs. Lansing. This war Is more than

power alone won't win. It is a war of

ROW BETWEEN PRINCES
STARTED MARINE DRIVE
Crown Prince and RuppreCht
Each Wanted His Army
to Take Part

PARIS. July a6.-(Correspondence OF
the Associated Press)-ln feeling be-
tween the German crown prince and
Crown Prince Rupprecht had its effect
on abe German high command in be-
ginning the present offensive between
scissors and Rheims which already has
turned into a defeat for the armies
commanded by the heir TO the Prussiah
throne.
The German crown prince, according
to reports, strongly desired that his
armies should have the honor of strik-
ing the first blow in the offensive OF
1918 The emperor is believed to have
lent 4 favorable ear to the wishes Of
his SON and early indications were that
the German crown prince would have
another chance to redeem his great fail
ure at Nerdun.
Crown Prince RupprechL of Bavaria,
whose command is on the northern end
of the battle line, however, laid his
case directly before the high command
instead of before the emperor As a
military proposition il was the view of
General LudeRdorff and his associates
that the blow should be struck in the
north and without taking into account
the personal issue between the two
crown princes the high command decid-
ed 10 attack in the north. The emperor
is said to have assented rather reluc-
family. while the German crown prince
maintained that the main drive should
be made farther south.
Decision having been made, the big
offensive opened in the north in March
and was given a double check, first east
of Aniiens, and second. east Of Haze
brouck This failure gave the German
crown prince strong support for his
plea that the drice should be made
. gainst the French lines and apparently
the high command gave its consent.
On May "a the German crown prince
struck against the Chemin des Danes
and was not halted until the Marine was
reached. His next effort to reach Paris
BY way of the Montdidicr-Noyon front
was stopped short His latest effort,
begun on July Is, was stopped after
three days and at this writing the
Marine salient is slowly being wiped out
1t has been reported that hupprecht
has been compelled to send divisions to
the aid of the German crown prince,
thus probably adding to the bitterness
CT the pill of defeat which the German
crown prince is now having forced upon
him by General Foch.

GEN. GRAVES TO COMMAND
AMERICANS IN SIBERIA
Regulars in Philippines viii Be
Nucleus of the United
States Forces

WASHINGTON, Aug. Major Cen
eraI William c. Graves, commanding the
Eighth division at Camp Fremont, Cal,
has been assigned to command Ameri-
can troops ordered to Siberia, General
March, chief of staff, announced today.
The nucleus of the American forces
sent to Siberia, General March said,
would be the Twenty-Seventh and Thir-
ty-frst regular regiments on duty in the
Philippines, which would be supple
mented lated by troops from the United
States.
No commander for the joint allied
forces in Siberia has yet been selected,
General March said, nor the necessary
agreement for the appointment of such
a commander formulated.
The object of the expedition is con-
fined strictly to the announcement made
recently by President Wilson through
the state department, General March
added, and is not for the purpose of
establishing an eastern front.
No announcement as to the sailing
of the expedition or of General Graves
will be made, but news of the arrival
of the forces will be made public
promptly when received.
Referring to the situation on the
western front, General March pointed
out that the terrain between the Vesle
and the AiSne lends itself to defensive
operations of which the Germans are
taking full advantage. The American
and allied troops are along the line of
the Vesle, he said, and have crossed
that river at many points, although
they have not taken the hill positions.
The old Aisne-Marne salient has been
completely flattened out between Sois-
sons and Rheims, General March said,
but he added nothing to what is al
ready known as to prisoners captured
or material abandoned by Germany.
Replying to a question General March
said the Twenty-sixth division, which
started it's combat training in the
Woevre sector north of Toul in June,
arrived in the Marine salient on July IS.
and participated in the capture of
Epieds on July %. He could not in
dictate specifically what divisions were
holding Fismes, the former German base
on the Vesle, saying that four Ameri-
can divisions were in line there.

TONS" II is over this battlefield that
the Germans must again retreat if the
allies are successful in their present
attack.
Viewed on the map the front over
which the new attack is being made
was chosen because of its strategic re-
lations to the German positions to the
north and south. If the assault is sue
cessful the Germans to the north must
drop back over the ground they won
at an immense cost in March. To the
south, their positions southeast of
Montdidier, taken by them in the ter
rfible battles early in June, will be in
jeopardy.
Indirectly an allied victory from Mont
didier northward would weaken the line
along the Aisne. to which the Germans
seem about to retire after the defeat
north of the Marine.
Allie Ctroops on two other widely sep
arated sectors of the battle front are
keeping the Germans busy and have
carried out other advances which may

British troops at the apex of the Lys

on this sector that the enemy withdrew

North of the Vesle the units which have

WOULD SELL VELVET
BEAN MEAL TO EUROPE
Dr., SouIe Asks MiIIerS to
Supply Data on Their
Output

Dr. A. NJ. Soule, food administrator
for Georgia, is endeavoring to arrange
plan whereby Georgia millers may
sell millions of dollars worth of velvet
bean meal through the United States
food administration, as stock food, 10
England, Holland and Denmark, which
countries are experiencing a shortage of
food for their dairy and stock cattle
Through the efforts of Chauncey
Smith, temporary chairman of a pro-
posed association of the velvet bean
miIlers of the state, DIR. Soule has taken
up the matter with Herbert Hoover,
federal food administrator, and has re-
ceived a telegram from him asking that
the government be supplied with a list
of all millers preparing velvet bean
meal, their location and the amount Of
food on hand, and their milling capacity.
Owing to his inability to get out
notices before the meeting of the velvet
bean millers of the state, which IS
scheduled to be held in Macon on Au-
gust 8, Mr.. Smith wishes to request
through the press of the state that all
millers in Georgia present at that meet
ing bring the information requested by
the government Those who cannot at
tend the meeting in person are asked
to supply the desired information
through a representative.
The necessity for an association of
velvet bean millers is being stressed
on every mail, Mr.. Smith receiving daily
many letters urging that the millers
get together for the opening of new
markets in the United States and in the
dairy centers of Europe.
The temporary committee in charge
of the meeting on August s is composed
of B. Y. Wallace, of Triton; D. S. Bran
don, of Dublin, and F. w. Anderson.

addresses are Governor Dorsey. Com
