London, Aug. 10.--The military
forces the allies purpose sending to
help the Czecho- Slovaks in Siberia,
are pitifully inadequate, says the
Daily Mails correspondent at Via
divostok, telegraphing on Tuesday.
DR.. Girha, the head of Czecho-
Slovak organizations in Vladivostok,
is quoted by the correspondent as
saying:
The Czecho-S -Slovaks are awaiting
succor in the period of six weeks be-
fore winter. If they are not re-
lieved by that time they will GER
tainly perish.
"Our force in Vladivostok is with
out artillery, cavalry, airplanes, gren-
AIDES or proper clothing, while the
enemy has all these. The longer the
allies delay, the more we dwindle.
Two operations are necessary, but
the force coming is barely sufficient
for one"

WOODED HEIGHTS.
SWEEP THE. Open VALLEY
AS u. S. Forces Advance to Foot
hills, They Are Raked With Muir
derous Fire by Unseen Foe and
Advance Under Difficulty.

London, Aug. l0.-Whatever may
be the ultimate intention of the
Germans, they meth odically thought
out the problem to defending the
heights north of the Vesle river and
are strongly discouraging all efforts
to approach them.
With Fismes occupied, the strug-
gle for the valley began. The Amer
lean crossing of the Vesle was fine
piece of work and cody performed
under searching enemy fire. 1t was
only when the Americans advanced
to the foot of the hills that they
realized the character of the Ger
man opposition. On the heights
above were hidden machine guns. 1t
was impossible to approach them,
as they had clear field for fire,
and as they were invisible they could
keep the Americans from 1000 to
l,500 yards away.
Big shells then began to drop in
the American lines, apparently fired
from heavy howitzers which prob
ably have been withdrawn in safety
beyond the Aisne.
The Americans are lying on the
hillsides virtually in the open with
the German gunners watching ev-
cry moment from the dark belt of
trees above. The American gum
ners are peppering the enemy with
shell and gas but without visibly d.
minishing their fire.

GERMAN PRISONERS
BLAME THE CROWN
PRINCE FOR DISASTER

London, Aug. 10.-Reuter's
Limited correspondent with the
British armies in France, send
the following dispatch concern
ing the German crown prince:
According to the statements
of prisoners, the German crown
prince appears to be the unpopu-
lar leader in the German army.
He is accused by them of being
directly responsible for the
Marne disaster. They say that
the opinion is widely expressed
by German soldiers that the
crown princes amateurish inter
ference with the plans of their
experienced generals was the
starting point for the present
crushing misfortunes of the Ger
man armies"

ofhe Guns Behind
Enen1y:s y:sLines Captured

Paris, Aug. l0-(Havas Agency
Several newspapers hint this
morning that the official statements
issued by the war office are pur-
posely reticent and that unusually
interesting news might be made
public if the. war office chose to do
so. They say that the number of
prisoners is actually far above the
figure authoritatively announced.
French and British light troops,
patrols and armored cars are oper-
ating far beyond the points men
toned in the official statements.
The infantry is following these
forces untiringly and in sufficient
masses to crush all attempts made
by the enemy TO counter attack.
1t Is pointed out that the ma

are rather old, which the newspap-
ers say show that secondary divis-
ions were holding the line. The
number of officers is very large,
while fully one-half Of the guns be-
hind the German lines have been
captured.
Advices from the front say that
at no point have the Germans re-
captured any of the ground taken
from them. The frankness with
which the German official report
admit defeat is attributed to the fact
that the retreating army in Picardy
is commanded by Crown Prince
Rupprecht and not BY the German
crown prince.

REMARKABLE FIGHT
OF j. s. MARINES
DEADLY RIFLE FIRE OF THE
AMERICANS WAS SHOCK
TO ENEMY

Washington, Aug. 10.--A graphic
eye witness account of the fighting
near Chateau Thierry in which
American divisions, including the
marine brigade, took part early in
June, was made public today by the
navy department. 1t is in the form
of long letter from an officer of
the marines to Major General Bar
nett, commandant of the corps, and
the story told is of peculiar signif-
icance, as in the opinion of many
officers here it was the stand of
the Americans along this line which
saved Paris.
The writer declares the rifle fire
of the marines amazed the French
who saw it.
THAT men should fire deliberately
and use their sights and adjust their
range he says, "was beyond their
experience. 1t must have had a tell
ing effect on the morale of the boche,
for it was something they had not
counted on. As matter of fact, the
Huns, after pushing back the weak
ened French and then running up
against stone wall defense, were
literally up in the air. and more
than stopped. We found that out
later from prisoners, for the Ger
mans never knew we were in the
front line when they made that at
tack. They were absolutely mysti-
fed at the manner in which the de-
tense stiffened up until they found
that our troops were in line"
Days of Fighting.
The letter tells in detail of the
days of fighting that followed. 1t de-
scribes daylight charge against a
machine gun host and of scouting
raids up to June 6. when the whole
brigade swung forward to straighten
out the line. This action resulted
in the capture of Belleau wood.
Major Sibley's battalion OF the
Sixth marine regiment led the way
here with Holcomb in support. The
woods were alive with enemy ma
chine guns. That night word came
back that Robertson with twenty
men had taken Bouresches, break
ing through a heavy machine gun
barrage to enter the town. Robert
son, fighting with an automatic in
either hand, was hit three times be-
fore he would allow himself TO be
taken to the rear.
Speaking of individual acts of
bravery, the writer says Duncan, a
company commander. before he

Across the seas from every war torn nation

Gross help.
1t comes from soldiers who have grimly
faced the cleaning bayonet steel and poison gas
and screaming shells, and who now lie with
parching threats and throbbing wounds.
1t comes from soldiers sick with fever,
pneumonia, tuberculosis.
1t comes from soldiers crippled, mutilated,
blinded, who can no longer fight and must be
taught and trained for useful occupations.
1t comes from the underfed, shivering help

1t comes from little children, orphaned,

1t comes from mothers in the pillaged zones

numb with horror.
From all these millions of suffering human
