GERMAN DRIVE
MOST DESPERATE ATTACKS
OF THE WORLD WAR.
French, American and British Troops
Have Been Busy the Past Week
in Driving Enemy Back.-ltalians
Going Forward.
NUMBER 80

London.-It is assumed by expert
military observers that the Germans
are about ready to being another drive,
the most desperate of the war. What
ever its magnitude the drive is apt to
be the decisive action of the war.
Whether it he on wider front than
the offensive begun May n, when the
enemy, all things considered. made his
most powerful effort of the year, or
whether 1t be Of more limited proper
tions, the results should determine
which way the tide is turning.
The landing OF 100000 Americans
in France has given the allies more
confidence than they have had at any
time since last March. Although there
are only 250,000 of our men holding
sectors Of the battle front our reserves
will give the allies numerical superb
ority in the next battle. 1t is believed.
The allies have attempted to disar-
range the enemy's plans by n process
OF "nibbling," In reality the nibhles
have been rather large bites. Their
object has been to ascertain where the
enemy is gathering his forces, to Sc
cure jumping Off places for the next
fights and generally to weaken the
enemy.
In this task French, American and
British troops have been engaged.
Southwest Of Soissons the French made
several attacks, gaining ground each
time and taking hundreds of prisoners.
The most pretentious action of the
.f.,1 Ia tf,n
tralians, assisted by some companies
of Americans at lie Hamel. 1t was
in the nature of a surprise attack.
Many tanks had been assembled back
of the lines and had been sent forward
at night Instead of preparing the
way with artillery fire of long durn-
ton, the Australians opened fire just
two minutes before the infartry ''went
over the top" The bombardment frou
hundreds of guns was fast and furious
but the main feature Of it was hnr
A rage of smoke shells. Behind TIN
clouds of smoke the tanks and nfan
try pressed on. The Germans kept II

j. S. MARINES LAND
IN RUSSIAN HARb0R
WILSON TO PROTECT AMERl-
CAN INTERESTS
Situation at vIadivostok, Where the
Cxecho-Slovak Forces Have Taken
Possession Of Military Affairs, Is
Most Pressing for Moment.

Observation-Disclosures to protect
American interests in Russia were ap-
proved by President Wilson on July 6
ut an important conference at the
White House. Following the conclu-
sion Of the meeting. Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, who was present, con-
firmed the reports that American ma
rines had been landed at VladivOstok
TO protect the American consulate ut
that important Siberian seaport.
Official Washington is full of rumors
concerning important announcements
to come. Attaches of the entente en-
bassies, who have been most active in
urging American approval Of a general
allied military Intervention in Wash
ington, were frankly in the dark as to
the decisions, If any, that were reached
at the conference.
Although it is conceded that the
situation at Vladivostok, where the
Czecho-Slovak forces have taken pos
session and where huge stores of mill
tary supplies are piled up, is the most
pressing for the moment, the vital
spot is declared to be the Murmansk
peninsula, about which neither Secre-
tary Daniels nor any of those present
at the White House meeting would dis
cuss.
Drive a~Wedoe.
Secretary Daniels refused either to
affirm or deny that the American
marines or bluejackets have landed
at Koa in the Murmansk region to
assist in the protection of the Muir.

region allied military experts in
Washington insist, that Germany with
the aid of Germanized Finland, pro
posed to drive one of the wedges by
which she means to cut off Westetr
Russia from all outside aid. The Othel
wedge, it is declared, she means t.
drive through from the Ukraine.
Not even in American official quar-
ters is there any disposition to mini
mize the seriousness of the threatened
declaration of war by Finland. Th'
Finnish authorities, in cooperation
with Germans, latest reports to tn
state department say, have almos
complete an important military railwa,
line from the Gulf of Bothnia to the vi
cinity Of Ken, on the Gulf of Omega. l
is against the completion of this pro
ject, it is understood, thet the join

pletion Of the spur would enable tn
