Today's War
Summary
fBy the Associated Press.)

On the Rheims-Soissons front the
situation has been stabilized while the
opposing. forces prepare for further
movements.
Uneasiness along the northern front
continues. Crown Prince Rupprecht
of Bavaria has carried out another
withdrawal. He has now given up ter
ritory along the La Bassee canal in
the apex Of the Lys salient. Mean
while the French and British are or
ganizing the territory evacuated north
and south of the Somme in Picardy.
Heavy artillery duels and patrol &C.
tions are in progress along the Vesle.
French and American troops in small
units have crossed to the north of the
river at various points, mostly on re-
connoitering expeditions. The enemy
has failed in attempts to prevent these
incursions. ,Fismes, in the center Of
the line and which is held by the
Americans apparently Is h especial
b~ombarding it violently. The Amer
leans, however, maintain their posi-
ton and have rel sent patrols across
the river at this point.
In Allied capitals it is not believed
that the German crown prince will
attempt to stand long on the northern
bank of the Vesle, but will soon re-
tire>to prepared positions north Of the
Aisne. The Vesle line is capable of be-
ing out1anked without much effort
and it would seem the part of wisdom
for the enemy to withdraw to behind
the Aisne. @
General Foch has given no indica-
ton Of his plans. The activity along
the Vesle lends color to the opinion
that the Germans between the Sois-
sons and Rheims will have to give
more ground. 1t is o improbable the
Allied leader Is waiting until his
troops and, guns in strong. force reach
the southern bank of the :Vesle he
fore continuing operations against the
crown prince. Except for occupying
the ground given up by the Germans
along the Ancre and west of the Avre
the Allies have made no move against
the enemy on these sectors. That the
retirement from west of the Ancre
was not an isolated move is shown by
the Withdrawals along the Avre and
from the La Bassee canal in Flanders.
In the north the Germans withdrew
from the canal in the region Of Pacaut
wood northwest Of Bethune. This po-

Resumption Of the bombardment of
Paris by the enemy long range can
non was followed Monday night by an
attempt by German airships to raid
England. The hostile aircraft did not
succeed in getting far inland.
American troops were among the
Allied contingents landed at Arch
angel, Russia, last week. The popula-
ton received the expedition, with
cheers, having risen against the Boil
sheviki when it became known the
Allies were coming. The Bolsheviki

Washington, Aug. 6-Activities OF
Germans or German-Anhericahs from
the United States,across the Mexican
lower California border, where a wire
less plant is located, are under inves-
tigation by, government agents.
Reports reaching here indicate that
for months groups Of about q half
hundred Germans. changing every
week or ten days, have been found In
Mexicali. a torrid little collection Of
baked shacks just across the border
from Calexico. Cal, and about fifty
miles from Yuma, Ark, on a spur of
the Southern Pacific. The town is in
habited, by a shifting population OF
Mexicans,z Indians. Japanese, Chinese
and women, with few apparent means

town before the war, now congregate
at a-store started recently by a Ger
man known to have been active in

Fbefore the war, and have used the
wireless station there which is capable
Of communicating with Mexico City.

1t is suspected they crossed the Dor

communities of the Imperial Valley
or the desert through which the Cal

DEFENSE TESTIFIES
IN BECKER TRIAL

Eau Claire, Wis, Aug. 6.-Most of
the testimony presented today by the
defense in the trial Of Judge M. Beck
er, charged with violating the espion-
age act was aimed to establish the
fact that when Judge Becker said
there vas nc flood, labor or seed
shortage, he did not mean throughout
the country, but in Green county.
The defense also introduced evil
which showed Becker had de-
clared This is a rich mans war, a
poor mans war. and 'everybody's
war; instead Of "This is a rich mans
war" as charged.
Witnesses for the defense also de-
clared they had heard Judge Becker
denounce Prussia and Prussian mill
tarism several" times and also advo-
cate unity and loyal support Of the
government in prosecution Of the war.
