ing schools. He said:
THE Red Cross campaign for nurses

but for the future. We are learning,
in the midst of war, that he human
material of these United States lis its
first asset, its dearest treasure.
Nothing we can do for the men and
boys whom we are sending to the bat

TREASON CHARGE LAID
In WESTERN NEW YORK
o. 7. Hitler. Prominent, Accused oi
Disloyal Remarks.

Rochester, N. Y, June s.-The
first charge of treason on record in
Western New York since the out
break Of the war was today placed
against Otto T. Hitler, secretary
and treasurer of the Rochester
Brass Bed Company. well known in
business circles here and prominent
in politics.
By order of United States Com
missioner Smith. before whom he
pleaded not guilty this afternoon,
Hitler Is held at the Monroe County
jail and has been denied the priyi-
lege of giving bail.
The charge results from sedItious
and disloyal, utterances said to have
been made last October.
L am a Kaiser's man, and I am
proud of it," he is quoted as say
ing. Il hope every American SOL
der that goes to Europe will
either be sunk to the bottom of the
ocean by a submarine on the way
over. or killed by a German bullet
as soon as he gets there"

The German general staff is
now beginning to feel the full CT
fects OF the master strategy so
calmly and persistently pursued
by Gen. Foch in the last two
months of unified allied resistance
TO the Geramn drive. Never was
"a better example of the use OF
fresh reserves given than is the
operations OF the last two days,
which continue to threaten the
Prussian hold upon Chateau
Thierry, and which have exacted
heavy losses and effectively nulli-
fed any gain in morale accruing
10 the invaders.
German "GaIns- Hinder.
The eagerness with which the
Franco-American divisions and the
British forces have entered upon the
task of harrying the wearied "sturm"
divisions of the Crown Princes army

the Kaiser is a hnidrance rather than
help to the desperate plan for a
decisive victory this year. 1t was
popularly believed that the loss of
railroads and roads would seriously
cripple the defense and that a posi-
ton bordering on the Marne gave TO
the Crown Prince a strategic position
which made certain of plenty of time

To one who has not known the won

the French have been able TO bring

numbers sufficient to contest success

Counter-Pre>sure Grows.
As yet II is too early to say how
great the counter-pressure against
the Germans will become. 1t is
clear. however. that in the past
three days the allies have steadily
increased their reaching" move
ments, until the Germans must give
full thought to maintaining the lines
lest the point of their salient at
Chateau-Thierry be pinched of by
the wedges driven from the west
and east.
Fresh divisions must be brought
to this front by the invaders, and
the movement of every division for
this purpose delays greatly the sig
nal for an offensive at a new point.
Moreover 1t is now apparent to the
Germans that the Picardy and Flan-
ders fronts have in no wise been
weakened by Gen. FoCh.

coastwise vessels will be continued
until the end of the war. or at least
until all danger of further submarine
raids on this side of the Atlantic is
removed.

Uneonhrmed Reports.
Reports that enemy U-boats had
been sighted during the day of the
coast OF Maine. OF Sandy Hook and
of Florida had not heen confirmed
by the department up to - late hour
Asked II he would bring back any
naval units from European waters,
Secretary Daniels said:
1.-The war is across the water
That's where our war vessels must
be. The presence of a submarine of
this coast is harassing and annoying
but 1t is not the war"
Mr.. Daniels added that every shir
that went overseas is and will be
adequately protected. 1t is known
that all important vessels are carried
under convoy. The Secretary stated
yesterday afternoon that the supply
of anti-submarine guns is being salts
factorily augmented. and that a gun
and trained crew is available for every
transatlantic ship.
The arming of coastwise shipping
is also being considered.
As soon as the needs of the trans
Atlantic vessels for guns has been
entirely met. supplies will be avail.
able for the coast ships which it is
deemed wise to arm.
The Navy is closely watching the
entrances to the Gulf of Mexico. Mr.
Daniels said yesterday that the ap.
parent southwark movement of the
U-boats is not being neglected.
In this connection reports of the ar
rest in Porto Rico on Presidential
warrant yesterday of eleven German
subjects, including the Swedish con-
sui, a native of Germany, aroused
widespread interest.
At the War Department, which is
in charge of Porto Rican administra-
tion, It was stated there is no direct
connection between these arrests and
the sinking of the Porto Rican liner
Carolina. At the same time 1t was
admitted that the destruction of this
vessel, on board which several
Porto Ricans are believed to have
lost their lives, has aroused bitter
feeling against all German residents
of the island. The arrests, it was
stated, were under the general pro-
visions of the espionage act and alien
enemy act under which thousands OF
dangerous enemy alines'' have been
rounded up in this country. AS far
as the department is advised, there Is
no evidence that the Germans on the
island were directing the operations
of the U-boats.

REPUBLICANS
OVER THE TOP
IN BALL GAME
Score, l9 to 5; Hits, 20 to
8; President Sees Party
Associates Walloped.

No wonder the sun hid behind the
moon.
Baseball games played by Repre-
sentatives and eclipses don't run to-
gether once in a million years. but
they did yesterday. And believe me,
Xantippe. it didn't take a smoked
glass to see that the Republicans
were out for blood and got 1t.
Not only that, a Democratic Pres
ident, woodrow Wilson. sat by and
watched his henchmen get a terrible
walloping. Any team that will let a
rival get nearly three times as many
as its own hits, and the Democrats
Idid-score 19 to 5-ought not to have
the nerve to run for reelection. If
the Democrats don't get any more
votes this fall than they got hits
yesterday at the ball game. 1t will
be good night, nurse, for those boys.
President There.
Not only did the President, Mrs.
Wilson, Miss Margaret Wilson and
Mrs. W. G. McAdoo. and Senators of
all political faiths see the Republicans
/ go over the top. but numerous Demo-
cratic Representatives sat in the
! grandstand. with a down-inthe-mouth
expression, and watched and waited,
hoping that some Republican would
! fall down and break his knee, cap and
! be put out of the game.
Twas quite a mixed audience that
witnessed the game. A bunch of the
boys from cover there" some on
crutches, sat in the grandstand not
far from the President. and saw their

The players worked hard, too. be-
cause they played ball much bet
ter than they can knit. Red Cross
nurses went about between foul
balls and sold daisies from 10c any
where on up to IS apiece. Some
| one remarked that the Congress-
men were as reckless with foul
balls as they were with conversa-
| tion.
Every little while a filibuster
against the decision of Billy Belts
the umpire, would start, and the
members would forget that they
were on the ball field, and someone
would ask for a roll call. or move
for a point of order. But Champ

BY HENRY G. WALES,

With The American Army AZ
The Marine, June S.-Only a short
burst of bombariment from the
French artillery preceded the
American attack here Friday
night. The Marines swept forward
achieving all their objectiyes with
in half an hour.
The enemy, evidently surprised.
did not resist. The suddenness
and violence OF the attack stunned
him.
The Americans found evidence
of the deadliness of their FIRE on
Thursday in the sight OF 100 new
ly dug German graves surmounted
by steel helmets with the date of
the soldiers death. A score OF
machine guns were captured in ad-
dition to prisoners.

with gas, but our Marines merely
donned their gas masks and pourea

ranks Of the enemy advancing IN a
counter attack. At the same time the
l French held guns swept the neld OF
battle. The enemy also was forced
to wear masks as he advanced
through his own gas waves The
counter attack was completely
smashed.
| At { O'Clock this morning the Ger
mans again attacked. They used no
gas this time. but projected a smoke
/ screen containing a new kind Of fume
! causing vomiting. The Americans
broke up the ~ ,ck. An hour later
the Marines weut into assault again
and progressed beyond Torcy, cap
turing many machine guns.
| The Marines charged through the
wounded and dead Germans left on
the Iield from the futile enemy at
| tacks and penetrated nearly half q
mile at certain places, carrying their
machine guns with tn IN and organiz-
ing the positions Immediately AFTER
| taking them.
TOrcy Reached.
| The Marines shortly after noon were
, in the outskirts of Torcy. having cc-
| cupied the woods between that vii
lage and Beleau. Meanwhile the
French on their left were progressing
toward Cdeleted.
Tht Marne battlefield is entirely dif-
ferent from where the Marines were
formerly fighting southeast OF Yer
dun. there being no organized defea-
sive positions. but merely hastily dug,
shallow pits for machine gunners.
| There is practically no barbed wire
here and no concrete, steel reinforced
