as the Greeks or Egyptians could never
have united, and it is this union Of power

protopasmically senile German government

"I do not know which one Of the Romans
first picked up the idea that Rome had
divine mission, but in Germany It was
Frederick the Great who first seized upon
the idea for his country. This curious phase
Of psychology carries a considera-
BILE degree of weight among uneducatcd
people. From medieval times up to the
present day the Church, when seeking tenn
poral power or working for political ends,
has made point of dickering with kings
in such "a way as to make them divinely
appointed, provided that they behave we'll
in the presence of the Pope.
Dante in the fourteenth century and
Gioberti in the nineteenth century de-
cared that the Romans and their descend
ants were chosen people, consecrated by
divine decree. Conditions are very differ
ent in these modern times, when an indi-
vidual like the Kaiser chooses to declare
himself consecrated, while surrounded by
thousands of German materialistic Knockers
and by rival consecrated states. This di-
gression into soeiologic comparison Of Rome
with Prussia is not in truth a digression,
because sociology is phase of physiology;
physiology depends upon protoplasmic in
tegrity, protoplasmic integrity depends
upon the comparative degree of vitality in
any varietal group.

TO TAKE
CONPFCNf HALTS
BECAUSE OF LOSSES
Hindenburg Seems Staggered
at Prices In Life He Is
Compelled to Pay
BY J. w. T. Mason


Omitted Press war expert
New York, June 13--The German
effort to capture Compiegne has been
definitely halted. The price in human
lives appears too great for Won Hin
denburg to pay at the moment.
The German offensive has now been
shifted south of the Aisne, about mid
way toward Chateau-T -Thierry. Paris is
still the objective but instead of CON
tinuing his effort to reach the capital
along Won Kluck s old pathway thru
Compiegne, Hindenburg is seeking a
new road about Is miles to the east,
along the Paris-Sossons railway
To make an effective start along this
route Hindenburg must first capture
the forest of Villers,Cottcret This is
a very strong natural position about
ten miles long and five miles deep. 1t
provides splendid shelter for artillery
and especially for machine gun nests.
Hindenbprg cannot hope to take the
forest. except at a frightful cost in
casualties.
General Foch can well afford to
abandon a little territory in this Sec
tor if he thereby entices Hindenburg
into consenting to further bloody sac
rifices. The struggle for Compeigne
has been a distinct allied victory up to
the present because of the successful
adoption of this program by General
Foch. The territory north Of Compeigne
now in Hindenburg's possession, is no
more than a burial ground given to the
German dead. The slight progress made
by the Germans toward VillersCotter-
cts has the same significance.
It is unfortunate for the German
militarists that the serious check Hin
denburg has experienced before Com
piegne should coincide with the boast
% the Prussian war minister, Won
Stein in the reichstag that General
Foeh has no more reserves left.
Won Stems statement to the reich.
stag is very hopeful sign for his al
lies. His extravagant suggestions that
General Fcch is reaching the last
stage Of exhaustion and that Ameri-
can troops are not seriously to be
reckoned with show that German pub.
lie opinion has to be fed with German
lies.

Washin Z :. June l3.-The American

some ARA : ent whereby aid, even
troops, may = ent TO Russia under Rus
sian Ameri : leadership.
Russia ", ut approve any expedi-
tion under ~ranese leadership. The
country now looks to the United States
as its best friend. The facts reached
the United Press today from reliable
sources.
The government plans to be able to
announce July that million men have
left American ports for Europe. There
after, it will have to cut down ON the
pace set in the May and June record
so that supplies can be forwarded.
This will give the opportunity of aid
ing Russia with other troops. Many
difficulties stand in the path, it is ad-
mitted but the government leaders are
doing their utmost to reach a solution.
The United Press is able to state
that the tentative proposal which has
received greatest support here shapes
up thus:
The empty troop ships would be used
to convoy some American troops to Rus
sia. They need not constitute vast
force. Loyal Russians, available allied
troops and Japanese and Chinese troops
would compose the balance of this
great international expedition. Its pur-
pose would be rescue work. There would
be guarantee against territorial ag-
grandizement.
The fact that t.oop shipments TO
France will slump after the first of July
explains apparently Secretary Baker s
recent retieence about newspaper pre-
dictions concerning troop movements.
He warned that events might make it
impossible to live up to the newspaper
figures. Now it is found, the supply
question must be given attention
AS soon as supplies are replenished,
heavy troop shipments will be resumed.

PROBABLE DEPLETION OF

Ratification Of Draft Treaties
Make Uniform Age Limit
Necessary Move

Washington, June 13.-That the war
department will ask changes in the
draft law-so as to include all men be-
tween the ages of Is and As or 40 years
was the forecast Of well-informed CON
gressional leaders today.
The new legislation, which would
place the draft on the sama basis as that
of Britain and facilitate the operation
of the inter-allied draft treaties is ex-
pected to be launched in the December
short session.
In the meantime a campaign of edu-
cation is to be conducted to inform the
country of the need for raising the
draft age.
These reasons include the probable de-
pletion of class one this year and the
necessity for going into deferred elassi-
fications unless draft limits are broad
ned.
"Provost Marshal Crowder has no de-
sire to go into deferred classifications
said Representative Kahn of the house
military committee today.
Members Of the senate foreign rela-
tions committee said today that ratifi-
cation of the draft treaty with Great
Britain and Canada "would impose a
moral obligation on the United States
to raise the draft age.'
Under an agreement among all the al.
lies it is understood the military SER
vice ages Of all the allied nations are
to be made uniform.
