PARIS, July 10.-In a recent speech in
the Prussian House of Lords Count
Behrendorr said. according to advices

I'VE cannot have a peace worthy OF

The Nice-President responding said:
confidence in Government circles Is

victory cannot be dragged away from

On THE FRENCH FRONT, July Ode
layed) The French attack this morn
ing northwest OF Antheuil was similar
In character and results to the whole
series of minor operations whereby our
allies continue to improve their positions
and to weaken the effective strength OF
the enemy on various parts Of the front
held by the Crown Princes army.
This time the sector chosen for the as
rault was the German right wing north
OF the Disc at the most southerly point
the enemy gained in the June offensive
in his attempt to reach Compiegne The
zine was pushed forward mile on a
front OF two and a half miles with the
assistance of tanks, which already had
done good service during the big counter
attack by which the French anticpa ted
and stopped the German advance on
June IL.
On this occasion $50 prisoners, 100 of
whom were officers, were taken and the
number since has been increased. South
Ct the Aisne score Of prisoners were
added to those captured yesterday be-
tween Longpont and Chavigny Farm,
outside of the forest Of Villers Cotter-
cts. and counter attacks In which the en-
envy tried to get back the ground he had
I lost were beaten back. On this sector
the German artillery has been rather
more active in the last twenty-four
hours The general feature common to
all these operations-the compare tive
weakness OF the enemy's reply-was
onoe more noticeable both here and In
the affair at Antheuil
The fact Is worth noting but It ought
not to be made the basis for an op-
tmistic assumption that 1t points to a
serious weakening of the fighting
strength of the enemy. It is a natural
corallary of the system under which
most of the better German divisions as
far as possible are withdrawn from the
battlefront during the period Of waiting
for the reconstruction BY which each new
offensive on a big scale Is preceded.
II is all the more certain that we shall
not have long to wait for the next at.
tempt to break the lines of the Allies.
When the time for that attack comes
that is to say, at the earliest possible
| moment when the Germans are ready
they may repeat once more their previou,
efforts to drive the British back to the
sea. or they may advance on Paris, oil
, they may attempt a raw diversion, such
ms an attempt to cut the French railway
: communications with the eastern forces
In any case the French armies like
: our own. are making good use Of tht
time of waiting. without, 80 far as the
{ mass OF them are concerned, botherine
. themselves unduly with speculations al
I, 10 when the offensive will come.

GUARDED THROUGH SKY.
Three Belgian Scout Planes Es-
cort Royal Couple.

LONDON, July 10 A royal air escort
Of three Belgian seaplanes guarded
King Albert and Queen Elisabeth on
their flight over the Channel from Bel
GUM to England Saturday morning.
The royal couple travelled in separate
seaplanes. each operated by n Belgian
army aviator. On the British side OF the
Channel the King landed first, near q
British warship of Dover. The Queen
descended soon afterward. her seaplane
also landing near a warship. They
started from the Belgian coast and made
the trip to England in about fifty min
utes. The purpose of their visit to Eng
land WAS to attend the silver anniver-
sary, Of King George and Queen Mary
on Saturday.
This is the first time since the war be-
gan that King Albert has visited London
and virtually the first time since August,
1914. that he has been outside his ma
tive land. The only time that King Al
bert has been outside Of Belgium has
been during one or two Informal trips
into France.
Queen Elizabeth was most enthusiastic
about tho voyage, telling about II wher-
ever she went and whenever any one
asked for details Despite the fact that
the Queen has ridden in airplanes before
she had never been over the sea.
The King. who has for a long timc
taken much interest In airplanes, has
made many flights so that among
friends in London he did not seem to
appear to think there was anything par
ticularly novel about his flight. The first
few days after he arrived he said ne
would rather not have the newspapers
:ell Of his trip.
Both the King and Queen wore
aviation costumes. The Queens maid OF
honor and the Kings encourage came by
boat and rail. Whether the royal couple
will return by seaplane has not been an
nounced.
The Belgian monarchs were received
In England by Vice Admiral Sir Roger
J. b.. Reyes. commanding the English
Channel squadron On being taken
ashore they motored to London. The
weather was ideal for flying. which
prompted the royal couple to make the
trip, both having long contemplated
flying across the Channel In addition
TO attending the silver anniversary OF
King George and Queen Mary the royal
guests visited the British grand feet
going to the naval base on Tuesday
This is something they have been plan
ming for some months.
No formalit!es marked their departure
from Belgium, few with the exception
OF Belgian officials being aware that
they were to take the trip. With tn, cX.
ception Of Admiral Reyes and several
other high British officials. no one in
England knew OF their coming. Belgian
scout machines started first Then came
the seaplanes bearing the King and
Queen. with another scout bringing Vi
the rear.
