tacks, but, weakened by the losses of
the previous day, they did not display
the same vigor. Caught in the fire of
German batteries, the shells of which
raised black fountains around their
tanks, their attack wavered Several
tanks were hit and burst into flames.
Others turned tail The infantry did
not follow up properly and the attack
stopped dead
"Only in the afternoon were the
English, with the help of fresh troops,
able to renew the attack. On the en-.
tire front from Morlancourt to the
Avre waves advanced, headed once
more by strong tank divisions. Airmen
flew overhead. attempting to smothe Z
the German ranks with a hail of ma
chine gun bullets.
"A smart rarrying counter attack by
German infantry followed. The fight
swayed this way and that, but finally
the British, despite the strong forces
employed, were unable to make head
way on the banks of the Somme and
along the great Roman highload
Further south the Franco British
assault against the line from Rosieres
to Arvillers succeeded in gaining
ground on terrain which was extremely
unsuited for defence. So eventually
the battle-ground on both banks of the
Somme, which furious British attacks
could not capture, was given up VOL
untarily."

Horvath Urges
Allied Siberian
Force of 100000
Lesser Army Cannot Stop
Germany From Getting
Russia's Food Supply
(By The Associated Press)

VLADIVOSTOK, Aug. 8.-General
Horvath, self-styled head of the new
All-Russian government, declares that
nothing less than 10000 Allied troops
will be required to prevent Germany
from obtaining control of the food re-
sources of Siberia and Mongolia. Cen
eral Horvath's visit here was for the
purpose of opening negotiations with
the Vladivostok group of the "Autono-
nous Siberian Government"
Coincident with his arrival came an
nouncements from Washington and
Toxic relative to the scope of the
Allies aims to relieve Russia. General
Horvath is said to be depressed by
these announcements, as they failed to
foreshadow formidable military move
ment. He declares that a large body
of Czecho Slovaks are in desperate
straits at Irkutsk, being surrounded by
Bolshevik and Magyar troops and with
out chance for immediate relief.
Midway between Nikosk and Khaba-
rovsk few thousand Czccho-Slovaks
are opposing a larger force of the
enemy, he says They are sadly out Of
proportion to the task confronting
them, even if supplied with artillery,
which is now lacking.
General Horvath told the correspon
dent that not only will the enemy get
what he needs in the nature of food
stuffs, if his domination of Russia is
not contested, but will draw on Rus
sian man-power, as he is already doing
in Lithuania. He says that the prac.
tice will grow, as Russia is becoming
more and more powerlcss and poverty
stricken
On the other hand, he declares, a
suflclent force of Allied troops to
stabilize the forward movement, would
attract thousands of Russians who are
at present overaWed.

may choose between Ludendorff and
the Turkish attache. 1t is painful to
see private persons in prominent posi-

with the truth.
ut Is ridiculous to suppose that the
Importance Of the events can be con-

The "Volks-Zeitung" says that as far
as can be learned the Allies were not

tremely intense bombardment the En-
tente armies tried to cut lanes through
the German infantry and artillery
lines by tank squadrons Then the
cavalry, supported by tanks, was to be
rushed through the infantry lines in
order to reach on the first day of the
offensive a high road between Peronne
and Roye.
Failure of this plan was due in the
first place to the heroic resistance of
trench garrisons, which at many points
held their positions until surrounded
on all sides. In the hurricane Of fire
all telegraph and telephone communica~
tions broke down. Signal rockets were
invisible in the thick fog, and, while
the gunners continued to put down
barrage fire before them, they sud-
denly found tanks upon their flank and
rear, whose machine gun fire laid ter
riblc havoc in their ranks.
Gunncrs Turned on Tanks
"Quick as lightning, gun after gun
would be slowed around and would
blaze into the tanks at short range.
while other guns would continue to let
down barrage fire to impede the bring
ing up of English reserves. In other
batteries the last surviving officers kept
up machine gun fire for hours, even
succeeding in fighting their way
through to the German line.

Russian People Reassured

II can only repeat what I have said
to you and to the Russian people many
times, and that is, the Allies have
nothing to fear from the Russian peo-
pie, with whom they consider them
selves still in alliance against the
common enemy.
"The Allies have never recognized
the Brest-Litovsk peace, and it is be-
coming so burdensome to the Russian
people that, in my judgment. the time
is not far distant when they will turn
upon Germany, and the repulsion of
the enemy from the Russian borders
will demonstrate what have contin-
uously believed and that is that the
national spirit of great Russia is not
dead, but has only been sleeping"
