AMERICANS CHECK
NEW HUN THRUST
BARRIER OF KHAKI 1ALTS
GERMAN FLOOD ON FIRST
DAY OF DRIVE.
When Huns Attempt to- Cross River,
Americans Shoot Pontoons to Pieces,
Piling Up German Dead So Fast
That Attack is Halted.

paris.-Disaster dealt by Americans
ward the end of the first day of their
65-mile drive, launched at dawn be-
tween Chateau Thierry and Massiges.
"All the German forces on the south
bank of the Marine are in danger of be-
ing captured" telegraphed the Uni
versal Service staff correspondent with
the Americans on the Marine late Mon
day night. Fifteen hundred prisoners
are in American hands. American
artillery has shot the pontoons to
pieces on which the Germans had
crossed the river, and many thousands
of the kaiser's picked troops seem
trapped"
A strong American counter attack
south of the river bend completely up
set the Germans, who broke in retreat
The American troops drove the enemy
back all the way to the railway skirt
ing the Marine in the region southwest
of Jaulgonne. This position now is
being held. In the counter attack
many prisoners were taken.
American machine gunners along the-
river assisted materially in breaking up
the early boche plans, for they stuck
to their posts and poured deadly
streams of bullets into the enemy and
only withdrew when their guns were
so hot they could not be fired. One
group of machine gunners happened to-
be in place where the Germans were
anxious to erect a BRIDGE but their
efforts were fruitless. The American.
bullets piled up the German dead on.
the opposite side of the river every
time the enemy started to cross.
South of Jaulgonne the enemy cross
ed the Marine on six pontoon bridges
thrown over the stream and
of infantry swarmed forward.
The artillery constantly had the
bridges under the heaviest fire and at
least two direct hits were made, two
of the bridges being blown up.
Along one extended sector of the
Marine front, the Americans were in
The open ground. The Germans were
On the opposite bank, showering high
explosives and gas shell upon them.
But the boys from the United States
went forward with gas masks, crawl
ng at times on all fours.
When they came close enough to
,ome to grips they drove the enemy
)ack quickly.
A correspondent talked with some
american soldiers now in the hospital,
Who were in the thick of the fighting.
They were in complete agreement that
he German infantry was no match for
he American.
This is evidenced by the reports
rom all the American hospitals, there
icing only few cases of wounds from
life and machine gun fire, while most
f the men are suffering from shrapnel
Wounds. Some of these are serious.

j. 5. WAR EXPERTS
MOST OPTIMISTIC
GENERAL BELIEF is THAT THIS
WILL BE LAST GERMAN OF
FENSiVE OF THE YEAR.
Express Hope That Allied Forces De-
Tending Marine viii Inflict Defeat
Similar to That Suffered
BY the Austrians-

Washington Reports of the Ger
man drive reaching here lead army
experts to hope that the allied forces
defending the Marine will be able to
lnfiict defeat upon the Germans
similar to that suffered by the Aus
TRANS In their vain efforts at the
Piave.
Because of the general belief that
the offensive Is the last the Germans
can undertake this year, and because
General Foch for the first time since
he assumed general command has an
adequate force under him, interest
here Is at fever heat Soon after
press reports announced the initiation
of the drive. President Wilson called
upon Secretary OF War Baker at the
war department. At that time Secre-
tary Baker had received no late dis
patches from the American headquar-
tiers.
Although Il was reported that Pres
ident Wilson's visit with Secretary
Baker had to do with the part which
the UnItd States may play in the aid
to be sent to Siberia, no confirmation
was available. Officials interested In
the Siberian question stated that all
matters In relation to the Russian
question We're proceeding favorably.
An announcement In regard to the
economic mission is not expected until
members of the mission have reached
Yladivostok.
It is pointed out that the excel
lence of the intelligence reports of
the American forces would Indicate
that the German attack did not take
the Americans by surprise and the
early report that the American forces
were so disposed that they were able
quickly TO organize an effective coun-
terattack, gave rise to the belief that
the Germans soon would be checked.
The new German drive Is looked
upon by many close students of Ger
man strategy as part of new
peace offensive. 1t Is held that the
Germans hope to push their lines for
ward to a point where they can con-
rentrate many high powered guns
upon Paris.
It Is pointed out that Germany may |
have construed that her only hope !

peace move at this time would be |

iuced TO ashes.

APPROVES WIRE CONTROL BILL
President Signs Measure and May Take
Charge of Telegraph Lines Soon.

Washington.-Pre Wilson on
July 16 signed the wire control reso-
luton of congress by which he is au-
thorized to take over and operate the
telegraph and telephone lines of the
country for the duration of the war.
Under the resolution the president
Is authorized to act in his discretion.
He win act within a short time. There
are a number of circumstances sur
rounding the operation and control of
the telegraph, telephone and cable
lines In connection with war work
which give him grounds for Immediate
action for the good of the country.
Wage adjustments and the right of
the employees to organize are pressing
questions which already have threat
ened strike under private ownership
and control. A strike already had been
called on account of the unyielding at
titude of the Western Union officials
In conforming with the declared policy
of the national war labor board, which
recognizes the right of employees to
organize. The strike order was re-
scinded TO wait upon the action of con
gress in giving the president authority
to take over the telegraph and tele-
phone lines.

VAN BUR|AN SAYS
PEACE IS POSSIBLE
AUSTRIAN FOREIGN MINISTER
ASSERTS TERRITORIAL CLAIMS
MAY STAND IN WAY.
Declares That Allies Have Shifted
Diplomatic Struggle to Useless
Discussion of internal Affairs
of the Central Powers.

INSTRUMENTATION Won Burian, tht
Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, In
note to the Austrian and Hungarian
premiers, Is quoted in Il Vienna dis
patch:
There is hardly any difference be
tween the general principles enunci-
ated by the statesmen of both belliger-
ents. President Wilson's four new
points of July 4 shall not, apart from
certain exaggerations, arouse our OPP
position"
Continuing, the Hungarian
minister said:
"rhe enemy's obstinacy regarding
his territorial demands concerning
sace-Lorraine, Triest, Trentino and
the German colonies appear to be in
surmountable."
In his reference TO President Will
sons four new points In his July a
speech, Baron Won Burian said he was
able to approve of them heartily and
that to great extent nobody would
refuse homage to this genius and no
body would refuse his cooperation.
Ever Ready for Peace.
Baron Burian said none of the bel
ligerent states need ever come into
the position reached by Russia and
Rumania as 1--WE ever are ready to en-
ter into peace negotiations with all
our opponents"
Continuing, the foreign minister
said: "f Que enemies continuously
demand atonement for wrongs done
and restitution then this is a claim
which we could urge with more justi-
fication against them, because we have
been attacked and the wrong done
to us must be redressed."
'We are prepared to discuss every
thing" said Baron Burian, Except our
own territory"
Baron Burian's statement was made
in one of his periodical reports to the
Austrian and Hungarian premiers.
The foreign minister said:
1T is not easy to draw a picture of
the present world situation in view of
the swiftly moving nature of events.
Everything Is in full swing and a
repetition of what has so often been
said regarding the causes and respon-
sibilities for the past can no longer |
influence our judgment, because on
that subject everybody already has |
formed his own view.
Relations Are Changed.
1.-THE consequences of the war al
ready have grown infinitely and have
gone far beyond the original causes
Of the war. The present phase of
events, and developments, too, throw
/ glaring light on the conflicting in
.erests of the different belligerent
groups which FLASHED at the begin
ling of this murderous struggle, but
hey perhaps are not without slight
igns of an internal change taking
'lace in the relations of the groups.
''In the midst of the terrible strug-
lie, and in every phase of this war of
uccessful defense, the central powers
ave had no other aim in view but to
ecure the enemy's will to peace"
