FRENCH BOOTY
SHOWS intent OF
HUNS ON PARIS

London. Aug. 1.-The booty captured
by the French in following up the Ger
man retreat from the Name included a
large amount of bridging material
which the Germans had collected just
to the north OF the Marna.
1t is pointed out that the intention Of
Germans TO effect the passage of the
river in great strength AMI drive in the
direction of Paris is thus indicated.
For the first time since the opening OF
this years campaign on March q. the
fresh reserves at the disposal of the Al
lies considerably outnumber the fresh
reserves at the disposal of the enemy,
Notwithstanding the fact that the enemy
still holds substantial numerical su-
periority on the whole of the front, &C
cording to the view in military circles.
There are indications that the situatio /
has changed in the last three weeks IN
northern Russia and that the Germans
shortly will begin an offensive agains,
the southern part of the Thurman rail-
way. The Finnish population is now in
tensely hostile to the Germans There
is a great shortage OF food and the peo-
pie are entirely dependent on the En-
tente for sustensnce. Both the govern
ment and the army, however. are com
pletely under German control and there
is every reason to suppose they will CO.
operate with the Germans.
The Germans have induced the
Bolsheviki government to agree to
the cession Of the whole Thurman
coast to Finland Notwithstanding
the desire oftthe inhs bitants to re-
main Russian. The Finnish army
capable of undertaking an offensive
probably doef not exceed 10000 men.
In the EK.aihe the pesantry has as
sumfd large proportions and appar-
emily seriously menaces lie German
and Austrian communications. The
PEASANTS are destroying t1e railroads
and have blown up the bridge south
east of Kiev. The Aust ian rtoops
in the district have been unable to
control them.
In the Caucasus there Is great
friction between the Germans and
turks. The Germans are trying to
precent the Turks from occppying
Bakl, on which Turkish attaSk ap-
pears to be imminent. Bakl is
lightly, garrisoned by Armeniansl and
BolsheSiki and probably will f4i.
There>is evidence Of growing dis
couragemeft in Bulgaria WHICH Is
said to be due chiefly to the exPloita-
ton Of the BuFarians by th9 Ger
mans.
