carrying food. for the Italian nation
last winter faced the most acute food
shortage Of it's history.
stnkings, the increase of tonnage and
better crops, the interauied council
is now able. It is understood. to allot
more cargo space to. Italy, with the
result that she IL now able to. obtain
sorely needed munitions and coal and
steel for making munitions.
Reasons for Haltine Drivs<
This IL one reason why Gen. D:ax
stopped At the Pfave., Another,is that
Gen. Foch thought It would be best
to wait evsn II Italy had been In. a
position to proceed. further and pos
sibly entrap. the Austrian armies.
Since. the allies are working. hand
in-hand. co-ordfnating all war actiSi-
ties under one supreme head, every
step taken must be considered in the
light Of how 1t will aid tho prosecu-
tton Of the common cause.
Because the italian offensive was
halted at the Piave' credence is given
In semi-cfhcial circles to the belief
that Gen. Foch Is now preparing a
from all sides. and Will be delivered
by all the allies when the time is ripe.
There is q growing belief that the al
LED command contefnplates some such
plan as this:
70 withhold the main aI1ied offensive
until either autumn or spring. striking
only at vulnerable points in the German
lines from time to time in order to re-
tain the initiative. and keep the bochs
time along all the fronts, ie.. along
the Franco-Amerfcan fronts, the Brit
tsh. the Italian and the Albanian.
1t Is believed that while Gen. Foch's
reserves are considered Of numerical
major allied offensive In the mar fu-
tCre, the French master strategtst Is
planning to execute one stroke at a
time when absolute success will be
assured.
Anticipated Results.
BY waiting until spring before
launching a big allied offensive. Gen.
standards Of the entente. After an
other winter in the trenches the Ger
mans would hardly be able to make
much OF q showing. The morale Of
the Hun forces. already at ebb tide,
would not be improved by another
experience in the mud and ice Of the
trench. The German army, according
to prisoners captured daily and ac-
cording to reports emanating from
Holland and Switzerland, has reached
the point where its former numerical
superiority can no longer be main
tanned. The losses encountered dur
ing the last three drives have been
terrific and cannot be replaced. The
whole valley Of the Marne is strewn
with the gray-clad inert forms of
German dead.
On the other hand, division after
division OF American troops will by
that time have set foot on French
soil ready to carry forward the stand
ard of democracy. The man power
which America is able to send to
France. and which will be greatly
increased when the new Army pro-
gram is adopted by Congress increas-
ing the draftHages. is practically un-
limited. Thus, while Germany will
be standing still. unable to recruit
larger armies. the allied strength will
be augmented by leaps and bounds.
So. by waiting until autumn or spring.
as many observers here believe. Gen
Foch will be prepared to pit a greatly
superior force of freshly trained
troops against the war-wearied Ger
man army.

HUN DOCTOR DRAGS
HENRY FORD'S NAME
INTO HIS DEFENSE

New York, July 9.-The asser-
tion that Henry Ford, the Detroit
automobile manufacturer. said in
substance on learning of the sink
ing OF the Lusitania, that passengers
sailing on the vessel were fools, as
they were warned" was contained
in an answer filed here yesterday
by DR.. Johannes Herman Martin
Augustus Won Tilling, of Pough-
keepsie. in the suit brought by the
government on the ground that he
had obtained them by fraud.
Denying the charge that he never
intended TO renounce his allegiance
TO the German emperor. or that he
ever contended that the sinking of
the Lusitania was justified, DR.. Won
Tilling asserted that he repeated
only in private Mr.. Ford's alleged
comment on the sinking.
This comment, he said, was made
in his Office. after he received the
news by telephone, and repeated it
to Mr.. Ford and John Burroughs,
the naturalist, both of whom. he
claimed, were his patients.

the memory of Lieut.. Edward b.
Sullivan and Sergt. Edward Doyle,

in an airplane accident at Electric
Park Sunday afternoon. Sunday
night guard of honor was posted
over the remains and yesterday
afternoon the body of Lieutenant
Sullivan, when forwarded to his
former home at Gainesville, Texas,
was escorted to the Santa he
Rock Island Union station by a
platoon of the Carter County Home
Guard under command of Lieut..
| Otis NJ. Smith. The casket, draped
with a flag, was placed on board
the 4:42 p m. southbound Santa
Fe train and as the train was
pulling out of the station the
guardsmen stood at salute in re-
spect to the soldier dead.
This afternoon representatives
of the Full Manpower of Ardmore,
assembled at the Brown & Bridge,
man mo. lie, West Main and Z
streets, and escorted the remains OF
Sergt. Edward. Doyle to the sta
tion. In charge of Sergt. w. ).

Rexroat, one of the most popular
men in the air service at Barron
Field. He was man of exception
al ability and was ambitious. Al
though he had been in the service
only six months he was head me-
chanic at the field and saw to 1t
that the machines were in perfect
order before going into the air. No
machine in his charge had ever met
with serious accident.
On Saturday OF last week Ser
geant Doyle made an application
for a furlough, in order that he
might visit his invalid mother at
Grand Rapids. Mich. His comrades
are much touched with the circum-
stances surrounding his return
home" Sergeant Doyle. prior to
his enlistment, was employed in the

FRENCH STRIKE
TERRIFIC BLOW
LATINS SMASH IN MILE AT
SOME POINTS ON 21z
MILE FRONT.
450 PRISONERS TAKEN
Huns Deliver Counter Attack but
are Repulsed. Action Comes at
Same Point Where Enemy Was
Blocked Month Ago.
(By the Associated Press)

(By the Associated Press)
French troops hit the German
lines a smashing blow early this
morning in the area almost directly
north Of Paris where the Germans
were stopped after five days of
fighting in their thrust toward the
capital in the last and least success
full of all their 1918 offensives about
a month ago.
The attack was delivered on a 2H
mile front and at some points Cen
eral Petains' troops pushed into en-
envy positions for the distance Of a
mile. Two farms were captured
and counter attack which was de-
livered against one of them was re-
pulsed. Some $50 prisoners were
taken.
South of Matz River.
The area chosen for the blow was
lust south of the Matz river region
northwest OF the Compiegne for
est, on the front between Montdi-
dier and the Disc. The point OF the
German wedge projected here in
the ncighborhood of Antheuil, and
it was just TO the west Of this town,
astride of the Compiegne road that
the French drove in, taking valu-
able high ground on both sides of
the highway.
The attacking forces were assist
ed by tanks in their drive.
Apparently all the terrain gained
has been maintained intact.
The new advance will serve still
further to protect the important
railway junction OF Estrees-St.
Denis, whNh lies seven miles south
west of Antheuil.
Gain Other Ground.
Further to the southeast along
the line the French gained addition
al ground on the Marne front, east
of the Retz forest, by forcing the
Germans back further in the vicinity
of the Chavigny farm.
On the British front there were
only raiding operations.% The Ger
mans, however, APPARENTLY are con-
templating 4 further effort to regain
the positions recently taken by the
Australians with American assist
ancc. in the AmienS area south of
the Somme. The German guns last
night were actively bombarding the
British lines in this region.
The French war office reports
considerable artillery activity to the
west and north of Chateau Thierry
on the Marne front. 1t is in this
sector that the Americans on this
front are holding several miles Of
the line.

AMERICAN SOCIALISTS
IN LONDON TAX,
COMMITTEE GIVES x4NrEKF
VIEW REGARDING LABOR
AND WAR. ~

London, July (Monday) S-Mem-
bers OF the delegation sent to Eng
land by the Social Democratic
League of America made state
ment to the Associated Press to-
day regarding their conferences
since their arrival in London last
Tuesday with representatives of
British labor and socialist organi-
cations.
The committee sent to Europe
by the Social Democratic League
comprised A. NJ. Simons of Wis
consin and John Spargo, formerly
members of the executive commit
tee of the Socialist party; Louis
kopelin, editor of the New Appeal;
Alexander Howat, of Kansas. pres
ident of district II of the United
Mine Workers of America; Chas.
Edward Russell. Professor George
ID. Heron and Frank Bohn.
The committees statement 20
the Associated Press says:
I'VE found intense interest in
Americas war activity and espe-
cially in the war aims OF President
Wilson. which form the chief top
ic OF discussion in nearly all So
cialist bodies. We found eagerness
on the part of all those with whom
We have talked to know the posi-
ton of the American Socialists and
4 realization of the most impor-
tant, if not decisive part that must
be played by American labor in the
international labor movement.
There have been many misun-
derstandings to clear up. and these
are by no means wholly on thi:
side OF the Atlantic. Wherever we
have stated the extent of Americas
preparations for war and solidarity
of labor's position behind the ma.
ton in winning the war, it has been
source OF great encouragement.
In spite of all the publicity on these
subjects the mass OF workers seem
not to have known of what had
really been accomplished.
"Of even gerater importance as
an element OF encouragement to
the Socialists and laborers OF Eng
land is the story of progress which
America is making toward democ-
racy during the war. The fact that
labor is gaining in influence and
improving its condition in the
midst OF the fighting is looked upon
everywhere as the greatest secur-
ity of Americas claim to be fight
ing for democracy"
