 The Western Front
Almost Month Has Passed Since End of Great Battle South of Montdidier, and Time Is Drawing Near for Renewal of Effort
 to Break Through

bled by the ever-increasing columns of American troops whose training the Ger mans have already learned to respect during the course Of recent engage ments.
 The arrival of the Americans may even force the enemy to hasten the renewal of the offensive, which. according to his previous procedure this year, should oc- cur above five weeks after the preceding assault.
 June F was the day of the latest Ger man action north of the Ose
 The entire German front has been pre- pared since last winter for the possfbil- ity of the general staff deciding to exc cute a n assault at any point. But the element of surprise cannot be so effec- tive now as in the two preceding as- suits against St. Quentin and along the Chemin- -des-Dames
 Perhaps the most striking sign among 2 the few indicating the Germans flu ture movement is the fact that since the last phase of their offensive they have dug no defensive trenches on that part of the front lying between the Marne and Sossons. Tn that territory however, their recent encounters with the French and American troops have shown them that the allies are fully prepared to meet any attempt at further prog reSs

The bondholders of the Mail and Ex- press company will take possession of the Evening Mail tomorrow and "we will see to it that the true American- ism for which we stand will be re- flected in the columns of the paper said Henry L. Stoddard president of the company, in a statement tonight.
 In statement tonight Assistant State Attorney General Becker said:
 The entire amount which went inxo the purchase of the Evening Mail was derived from the sale of German war bonds in this country and American citizens furnished the money to acquire the paper which was to be used for the purpose of carrying on German propa ganda.
 While the deal was made with Hen ry l.. Stoddard for the paper, there is no evidence that Mr Stoddard knew 1t was German money. Mir Stoddard retired from the mana cement of the paper and when the United States de- clared war against Germany MT Stod- dard threatened to foreclose the bonds he held unless the Evening Mail cy- pressed loyalty to this country in every way"

Another Neutral Ship Ls Sent Down By
 German, Submarine

An Atlantic Port, July S-Another neu- tral ship, the Norwegian steamer Aug vald. 209S tons, bound from a French port for Baltimore, has fallen victim of a German submarine. A transatlantic liner in port today brought the news of the sinking of the Augvald in midocean June g and also landed Il members of the crew of 27 men. Three of the crew were drowned and the remaining 13 are unaccounted for.
 The rescued men were picked up by the liner after having drifted helplessly for II days, subsisting most of that time on seaweed and rain water wrung from their clothing or caught in their caps.
 They were in an exhausted condition when picked up but by careful nursing they had fairly recovered on reaching shore.
 According to members of the crew, the sea wolf adopted the same methods used

 inemy aviators appear particularly shy, often entire days passing with out any German flights being observed over the front lines. The boche air men probably are far in the rear prac- ticing for future events.
 Almost month has elapsed since the cessation of the battle south of Montdidier and no really serious oper- ation has been fought on any part of the line in the interval. Numerous raids and local actions of most in- teresting character, however. have been executed by the allied troops. These have given the French, American and British opportunities to display the keenness of their fighting spirit, which the enemy believed broken, and also has enabled them to capture large patches of prisoners, at the same time improving their positions with view to another German offensive.
 The Americans share in these affairs between the Marne and the Ourcq rivers and also on the British front has been outstandingly brilliant The correspondent conversed with mum Der of captives at various points and gleaned from their assertions that they regarded the divisions to which they were attached as merely units for hold ing the positions, while the shock di- visions were taken to the rear for re- constitution after the last severe as- Saults and for special instruction.
 The tone in which the prisoners spoke indicated some resentment at the Ger man system of choosing the best men from the various units to form the shock divisions, thus reducing the other units to a secondary class, whose onerous work of holding the line and maintaining the positions, while exceedingly costly brought no glory. Prisoners from these divisions are unable to give a hint where the fresh onslaught is to be delivered being cut off entirely from communica- tions in the rear. There appears to bs no doubt that the enemy is greatly trou-

Fighting Resisters

Little Rock, July S.-The telephone osa- orator at Heber Springs late this after noon reported that fighting is taking place in the hills near that town be- tween draft resisters, detachment ol national army soldiers, a company of the Fourth Arkansas regiment ana sheriffs posses from three counties. The operator said that the sound of fir ing had been heard in the town all aft ernoon and that it was reported that one man had been killed. No report had been received of the result of the fight ing Al noon the resisters were reported to be fleeing and setting fire to the woods so that the smoke would concea! their movements. The posses and sol- diers were reported in hot pursuit.

by the U-boats in their recent operations off the Atlantic coast. The steamer was stopped by shell fire, the crew ordered into the boats and the ship then sunk with bombs.
 Captain Egge left the ship with F men in his boat and it became separated from the other boat containing II men, For two days the latter boat drifted about and was then upset in storm. Three of the men were swept away and the others managed to right the boat and bale her out. They lost all their food and fresh water and even their oars.
 Drifting helplessly the men began to suffer for want of food and water. Sea weed was eagerly snatched up and chewed and every device they could think of was resorted to to catch rain water. There was a succession of rainstornls and the men were almost continually drenched. Finally, on July 4, the rescue shop was sighted and the exhausted and starving men were soon safely on the liners decks.

GERMAN PLOT IN IRELAND IS BEING
 REVEALED IN TRIAL

London, July S.-The trial by court martial opened here today of Corp. Jo- seph Bowling, who landed on the Irish coast in a German collapsible boat two months ago, and since has been a pris- oner in the Tower of London. Corporal Bowling, in civilian clothes, was brought to court in an auto-ambulance hand cuffed to a British soldier and accom- panied by a noncommissioned officer armed with revolver. Lord Cheyies- more presided over the court
 Corporal Bowling, who is slight Of build, of medium height and of wide awake appearance. pleaded not guilty to the formal charges, which are under three heads: First, that while he was a prisoner of war in Germany he joined a hostile force; second. that he endeaV- ored to induce others to join; third, that he participated in an attempt to land hostile force in Ireland.
 GERMAN PLOT
 Sir Archibald Bodkn, the prosecutor, described the German plot of 1914 for the formation of an Irish brigade from among the Irish taken prisoner on the British front The scheme. Sir Archibald said, was repudiated by most of the prisoners, but Bowling and few others joined and acted as recruiting agents
 The prosecutor described the means used by the Germans to induce Irishmen to join, and in particular the German premises, reading:
 "At the end of the war the German government undertakes to send every member of the Irish brigade to the Onlt' ed States
 Sir Archibald Bodkin reas a long doc ument issued by the Germans at Limberg camp, which said "The Irish in Amer lea are collecting money for this origaoe. Join the new unit and win your mae pendence. The Irish brigade IS to nght solely for the cause for Ireland with the moral and material assistance or the German government"
 The story told by Prosecutor bookii of the arrival of Bowling in Ireland fol- lows:
 "On April 12 fishermen going out rom a harbor on the Clare coast saw man waving handkerchief on an lsland haii a mile from shore. He said he had been washed ashore from the torpedoed ship Mississippi during the night. Tie paiu the fishermen shillings to land hlm al Ballvalino Pios, where he gave his name as James OBrien and described tne torpedoing of the Mississippi with great detail stating that the ship came rom Baltimore. Later in the day ms coi'dp sible boat of undoubted German manu- facture was washed ashore. Lowing hau E7v of English money. lie sdlu hc isu , come from the United States to lrlsn friends before joining the Amer'ca" army.
 The prosecutor described the German method of dealing with Irish prisoners.
 Those who joined the Irish brisaue' he said, were allowed distinctive uhl- forms, special rations and side arms ana mingled freely with the German oiii- cers and men, Those who stuck 10 'leif ca ths of allegiance were treated s,'alne fnllv their rations were reduced ana avery effort was made to punish them for their conduct. Yet 5s was the to,a, number of recruits the Germans secureo after a long campaign among the ir'sh prisoners.

THEY Wish THEIR NAVY HAD
PROHIBITION.

Perhaps the most interesting thing
OF all Is the large and increasing num-
Der of British officers who one hears
speaking sympathetically. and even mp
proyingly, Of the total abstinence Of
liquor In force on the American ships.
The fact that the officers of the latter
are practically unanimous In declaring
that they would never favor going
back to the old regime has made a
good deal Of an impression on the
British, and more and more frequently
hear the older royal navy officers
saying that they wished they had the
same antiliQuor rules In force on their
own ships.-From an article ON "Get-
ting Together" by Lewis r. Freeman.

STATE RIGHTS.

"What about the state rights argu.
ments" some one asked Mr.. william
]. Bryan when discussing the ratifica.
tion Of the federal prohibition amend
ment.
MY observation is that the state
rights objection disappears whenever
the state declares Tor prohibition" re-
piled Mr.. Bryan. IF state wants
prohibition 1t doesn't object to having
the federal government help to en-.
force II. Those who oppose national
prohibition on that ground as a rule
oppose state prohibition on some other
grounds. This is not universal rule
but It Is almost universal. Georgia,
Mississippi. Tennessee. Arkansas, vir-
ginia and Florida are all good state
rights states but their representative
In congress voted solidly In favor of
the amendment. South Carolina and
North Carolina were nearly solid and
the amendment had its supporters In
every Southern stnte."
