PARIS. Aug. 5.-The increased re-
sistance Of the Germans on the north
ern edge Of the old Marne salient Is
not regarded here as important.
There is no reason to suppose that
It indicates anything more than
desire by the enemy to delay the
French advance to the Asne as much
us possible.
II is known that the main bridges
over the Aisne have been destroyed
and the Germans are dependent upon
pontoons and other prccarlous means
to make the passage with the re-
mainder Of their troops.
The Vesle is in flood and the bnlk
of the French forces have not yet
been able to cross. They possess.

u. S. PLAN TO AID
RUSSIA is COMPLETE
Czecho-SioUaks viii Merge
Force With Allies.

WAsHISoroN. Aug. 5.-The War De-
partment has completed its plans for the
American expedition to Siberia. An
nouncement of the number Of troops to
be sent and the name OF the American
commander may be made by Gen. March
Wednesday.
Advices received here to-day indcat-
ing that the Russians in Siberia were
showing increasing support of the
Czecho- -Slovak movement have increased
the optimism felt in official circles re-
garding the success that is likely to at
tend the plan just announced. One re-
port stated that a new government had
been formed in Vladivostok based on
principles Of liberty and Justice and cal
culated to protect the rights OF the in
dividual citizen. This move. in conjunc-
ton with the already established gov
ernment at Omsk. is interpreted by some
here to mean the beginning OF a national
movement destined to save> the Russian
people from further Bolshevik control.
The Allied plan of action will enable
the Czecho-Slovaks. who are now in
Vladivostok or In that vicinity, to march
westward along the railroad In an en-
deavor to get in contact with the larger
force OF Csecho- -Slovaks at Irkutsk and
west OF that place. according to Prof.
Thomas Marsaryk, head OF the Czecho-
Slovak National Council here. This

Meanwhile the decoy's decks had been
set on fire and the captain knew that
her magazine would soon explode. In
fact the explosion came in short time
and sent one OF her guns hurtlng
through the air.
The submarine had now swung around
in front Of the decoy. The captain OF
the latter s!gnalled to a man of war
which had been keeping below the hori-
son. unmasked the forward gun OF the
decoy and heavily shelled the subna-
rine. One projectile tore away the en-

in the hull. She sank after the fight
had lasted five hours.

American Troops
Land at Archangel

KANDALASKA, Aug. A.
American troops participated
in the landing of the allied forces
at Archangel last week. The
first detachment of the interna-
tional forces included members
of the Russian Officers League.
The participation of the
Americans in the landing has
been greeted enthusiastically in
northern Russia. The people
consider that the United States
is absolutely without selfish in
terests as regards Russia and
look upon the Americans as n
guarantee of the friendliness Of
the Allies toward Russia.
The population of Archangel
received the troops with cheer
ing. The leaders in the anti
Bolshevik revolution invited the
protection of the allied troops.
In their fight from Archangel
the Bolshevik forces carried
away forty million rubles in
money and much other treasure,
but left many supplies behind
them. The bridges and railway
lines were not damaged.

LONDON. Aug. s.-Ambassador Won

member OF the Russian social revoiu-

Helfferich must follow next.

What precautions can prevail against
such secret armies of soldiers. all anx-
ious to strike a blow against these Ger

deep in the streets of iiev to avenge
the deaths of these German tyrants, but
they cannot kill half of those who gladly

LoNpoN. Aug. "a thrilling story OF
a fight between a British decoy ship and
a German submarine was told by Sir
Eric Geddes, First Lord OF the Ad-

Germans now know about the ruse and

the Atlantic with the necessary orders
and finally sighted Il German subma-

The decoy turned and ran, but the

fire. Some German shells fell on the

were wounded and killed. The flight Of
the decoy continued and she signalled

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE,
Aug. 4 (delayed) The German retreats
behind the Avre in the Albert section
and behind the Ancre are comparatively
trivial as far as territory evacuated is
concerned but they are highly signiti-
cant in that they constitute confession
Of failure OF most ambitious plans.
When the Germans found In March
that they could not reach Amiens they
devoted their efforts to pushing across
the Ancre and forcing up the westward
slopes TO seize high ground in prepara-
ton for the next advance. They did not
get high ground in any great area, but
were held to the slopes rising from the
marshy little valley. They did not have
commanding observation points from
which they could look westward, and al
ways at their backs was the sWampy
river valley through which they had to
transport all their supplies under con-
stant fire OF our guns
That is the real reason for the retreat.
1t marks a genuine triumph OF our artil-
lery and air forces. Together the artil-
lerymen and aviators pounded the enemy
constantly, night and day, SO that he
did not dare to make a move. In the
daytime the Germans were compelled to
stick to their dugouts. and by night they
could travel only on winding paths that
led through swamps and shell holes

The torpedoing early this morning OF

Stories of, the fearful struggle in the

could not be stopped. This condition
greatly hampered tie rescue work. and
in addition three or four boats were

their occupants into the sea.
