The counter attack developed
after the Germans had heavily bonn

When the German infantry leaped
from the enemy trenches the troo ps

some cases whole companies were
allowed to approach close to the
American line. Then the American
machine gunners, from their hidden

Plan Military
Autocracy
Plots to Overthrow Won
Kuehlmann Proceed
Unchecked u
BY George F. Steward
Especial Cable to The Tribu,te)

tSpECM CGUte 10 ~ ne 1 TtOufte)

AMSTERDAM, July 3.-The under
ground plot in Germany to overthrow
Won Kuehlmann proceeds unchecked
and the military party is now becom-
ing extremely active in its attempts to
undermine the government and obtain
open control of foreign affairs.
Whether Won Kuehlmann will be able
to meet the attack depends upon how
firmly he still retains the confidence of
the bourgeois parties and how far they
will be able to counter the moves of
the pan-Germans, which began with the
appointment of Count Hertling and
would end, if nothing intervened. in an
ABSOLUTE military autocracy, with only
an appearance of parliamentary con-
troll.
Ludendorif Receptive
The pan-Germans have appealed to
General Ludendorff, and. despite his
denials, the appeal was not uncon-
genial. In an interview with a membe r
of the Reichstag he has now declared ::
"You know that | think only Of final
success in the war and that only ex
press myself on questions of home pol
icy, however great may be their in
terest for me, when in my opinion they
affect final success
In other words, he is reserving the
right to dabble in questions of foreign
affairs and will support .he Won Tirpitz
group on military questions, which are
necessarily important in all questions
Of German foreign policy.
This, according to a veil Informed
source, be is already doing and the in
dications arc not lacking that he is not
(isinterested in the sudden arrival in
Berlin of ex-Admiral Hin2e, the we'll
known champion of Won Tirptz, and
in the backstair intrigues at present
being carried on.
Upshot in Doubt
What the upshot will he depends on
whether Won Tirpitz's opponents would
prefer period of pan-G German domi-
I.ation. which is considered inevitable
now. in order that the equally newt
able failure Of that party'5 rule would
cause closer agreement CT strength
ening Of the Socialist opposition and
thus be the bringing about of
stronger movement toward reason
able peace.
The militarists are committed to
further attacks and in the case either
of success or failure, it is necessary
10 their salration that they shall have
stronger grip on foreign affairs.
Count Wcstsrp and General Ludendorff
are at work and upon the result OF
their association much depends.

100000 Rifles Delivered

Sufficient rifles are now being
received" the statement says, "to
equip an army division every three
days. More than 100000 rifles had
beer produced and delivered up to
June l."
More than 900 heavy Browning
machine guns were delivered during
May, and the deliveries for that
month of light Brownings totalled
1900.
Speaking of the morale OF the
army in France, the statement says
'Tn France it was necessary to
change the name of the zone behind
the armies from the Service of the
Rear to Service of Supply be-
cause of the difficulty in getting
men to serve in a region having the
shell-proof connotation of the word
