Der of machine guns.
The attack was delivered after two
hours Of preliminary bombardment in
which the allied artillery made the
shel-shattered wood an inferno for the
Germans.
The furious American assaults found
the Germans stunned and reeling,
ready to surrender. The American
machine gunners inflicted the heaviest
casualties upon the enemy. Owing to
the excellent artillery preparation and
the swiftness of the operation the
American casualties were light.
The Germans launched an attack on
Bouresches at five o'clock.

RUSSIAN CADETS
ASK ALLIES TO
HELP GUST HUNS
Appeal From Party Received by
State Department.
PLEA MADE FOR TROOPS
Message Urges America and Other
Nations to Send I;xpeditionary
Force to Drive Out Ger
mans.

Washington, June 12.-An appeal to
the United States and the allies to
send an expedltionary force to Russia
TO repel the German invaders, forward
ed by the central committee of the
Cadet party in Russia, was transmit
ted TO the state department today by
the Russian embassy.
The Cadet party is composed of the
constitutional democrats, who were
first in power after the overthrow of
the Romanoff dynasty. 1t was remov-
ed from power by the bolshevikl.
The appeal reads; 1--WE never recog-
nized the conditions of the Brest-
Litovsk peace, and consider that the
disastrous situation In which they have
placed Russia can only be ameliorated
with the aid of the allies.
1.-The movement of the Germans on
Russian soil, their perpetual seizure
of new regions still continues and there
seems to be no limit to such occupation.
"Under such conditions we connot
refrain from appealing to our allies to
whom we nave frequently given proof
of the loyalty of our feelings.
Powerful Factor Needed.

appearance of new powerful factor
on the scene of the struggle undoubt-
edly will have "A decisive bearing on
the issues of the war and on the condi-
tons Of peace.
eve can assure in the most conclu-
sive manner that the information pic
turing that the Russian democracy
does not approve of allied aid is false.
If such information has reached the
president of the United States 1t must
originate from bolshevik sources.
"The holsheviki in no way are rep
resentatve of the Russian democracy.
Their regime, fictitious rule of de-
mocracy. is really oigarchy demagogy
and despotism, which at the present
moment relies only on physical force,
and daily becomes more and more obi
ous to the popular masses.
Public Opinion Vital.
"NeVertheleSS, we cOnSluer IL our
duty to emphasize that the attitude of
the Russian public opinion toward the
allied action is conditioned by the
forms OF its realization. Its success
depends on the whole-hearted support
of national feeling in Russia.
at is Furthermore imperative for TIE
Russian public opinion to receive as
surances that the expedition be CO.
ordnated with the inviolabllity of right
and interests of Russia, and that the
