NEW YORK, June 12.-Von linden
burg IS showing serious uneaSlneSS al
the terrible death toll which Is being
exacted by the French along the Com
piegne front.
There Is noticeable weakening of
the German attack, which can be ac-
counted for only by the grave dang er
that is threatening Germany through
Hindenburg's mad slaughter of his re-
serves Compiegne is still for sale at
its adequate price in German blood,
but Hindenburg is pausing earlier in
the quest than he has done during any
of his three previous offensives this
spring.
There is being exerted at German
headquarters a new influence. This
influence is the fighting quality of the
American troops. Hindenburg must
now realize that for every unit Of his
reserves slaughtered in battle or i'm
modified by being put to protecting
extended fronts, at least two units OF
American fighting material is being
added to General Foch's strength.
The capture Of Belleau wood by the
Americans yesterday cannot be re-
sarded as an isolated affair Although

PRESIDENT SENDS NOTE
Private Discussion Of Delicate Mat
ters, But No Secret Agree
ments Of Any
Sort.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Servicel
WASHINGTON, June 12.-Presi-
dent Wilson is opposed to the Borah
open diplomacy resolution, Senator
Hitchcock announced today in the
senate. Hitchcock read letter from
the president, written to Secretary
Lansing. March IL, just after Borah
had introduced his resolution provid-
Ing for open consideration OF all
treaties by the senate. The presi-
dent in his letter said that when on
January he advocated open diplo-
macy he meant that all treaties, after
ratification, should be made public.
He did not mean open consideration
by the senate, he said.
The Prussians' attitude, Hitchcock
clearly intimated, extends to the
treaty Of yeace which will conclude
the present war. He does not intend
to urge open sessions Of the peace
conferees, but only that all nations
signing the treaty shall fully inform
their people Of it's terms after it has
been decided upon.
The presidents letter follows:
my dear Mr.. Secretary: I wish you
would be kind enough to formulate a
careful and conclusive memorandum
for the use of the committee of the
senate with regard to the enclosed
resolution. take it for granted that
you feel as I do that this is no time
to act as the resolution prescribes
and certainly when I pronounced for
open diplomacy, l meant not that
there should be private discussions of
delicate matters, but that no secret
agreement of any sort should be en-
tered into and that air international
relations, when fixed. should be open,
above board Of explicit.
Cordially and sincerely yours.
WOODROW VII SON"
Borah, replying to Hitchcock,
quoted again the presidents speech
and said the language was open to
only one conclusion: that the presi-
dent wanted open discussion OF cove
nants between nations in accordan ce
with what he later wrote.
