SCOTTISH CLERGYMAN REPORTS
THAT PEOPLE EVERYWHERE
ARE FULLY AROUSED AND ARE
HEART AND SOUL IN THE WAR
BY Associated Press.

New York, Aug. 11.-After travell-
ing more than 10000 miles and deliver
ing one hundred and nineteen address
es in every part of the United States,
Sir George Adam Smith, the Scottish
clergyman who has been making a
speaking tour of the country under the
auspices of the National COMMITTEES on
the Churches and the Moral Aims of
the War, reported to the Bureau of In
formation of the British War Mission
today that the American people every
where are fully aroused and heart and
soul in the war.
From very wide experience in all
parts of the country and among all
classes" says Sir George. 81 am sure
that the conscience, the heart, the will
and all the boundless energies of the
United states are thoroughly and in
telligently enlisted in the war. This
is as true of the more German centers
as of the rest of the country. I had
nowhere more cordial reception for
my message than in st. Louis, Cincin-
natl and Milwaukee and among men
with German names. My chairman and
other speakers were frequently men OF
German descent" Sir George came to
America last March.
.sThe mission with which was
charged" says Sir George, "was~two-
fold: to enforce the moral aims COM
mon to the Allies and to tell the part
which Great Britain has taken in the
war.
II found everywhere an enthusiastic
response to these sentiments and argu-
ments. I know that the American peo-
pie are convinced of the justice of our
common cause and resolute to carry it
through on these moral issues which
Germany has forced on the world
IT found good deal of ignorance of
the scale on which Great Britain had
been fighting and supporting the war
and naturally of the details of our
warfare. Most Americans had failes1
to value the many fronts-on three
Continents-on which our armies have
been engaged; the vast numbers Of
our armies which were raised before
conscription was established: or the
extent of our sacrifices. 1 supplied them
with concise information on each of
these subjects. Many audiences were
amazed at the facts I gave them; a1d
it would have been well worth coming
to America for this purpose alone"

IS CONTINUED
Enemy Unable to Stop Advance
of Pursuing Allied
Army Forces.
GERMANS LOSE
AT ALL POINTS
Reported That British Occupy
Chaulnes and Almost
Reach to Nesles.
6By Associated Press)

Germans have materially stiffened
their defense against British, Amer
ican and French troops on the Picardy
battle front. but they have been un-
able to stem the tide Of advance
against them. Although the forward
push of the allies has been slowed
down somewhat, nevertheless they
have made further important progress
from north of Somme, where the Amer
leans and British are lighting together,
to the northern bank of the Disc,
where the French troops are engaging
the enemy.
Americans and their British brothers
in arms at last accounts were press-
ing closely upon the Bray-Sur-Somr
aided by tanks and armored ca
which inflicted heavy casualties on t.
enemy. Across the river the Germans
heavily engaged the British at Lihons
and vicinity, and at one point pierced
the British line and gained the out
skirts Of Lihons. The counterattack,
however, entirely restored the British
line.
Unofficial reports from London credit
the. British with entering EflaufneS.
and the British cavalry with a pene-
tration of the enemys' territory almost
to Nesles. These are but reports, how
ever, and received no official verifica-
ton
BY far the greater progress has been
made by the French from the region
Immediately southwest and south of
Roye to Disc river. where they have
driven a line well across the Roye-
Compiegne road, and at Cambronne
have reached the road leading from
Compiegne to Noyon. Since the cap
ture of Montdidier, the French have
penetrated east to Tilloloy, q distance
of about seven miles, and to Canny-
Sur-AIatz, more than eight and a half
miles, and through the hilly region
southward to the Disc, have averaged
gains exceeding six miles over a front
of twelve miles.
The stiffening of German defense
does not, in the minds of observers
on the battle front, indicate the re-
treat OF the enemy has ended. but
rather it is assumed these maneuvers
are similar to those carried out over
the Marne front, when strong rear
guards covered the retirements OF the
crown princes armies northward.
Smoke of large fires continues to be
seen far behind the enemy lines. and
movement OF long transport columns
eastward is considered evidence that it
is the enemy intention ultimately to
retreat to new lines.

New York, Aug. 11.-State Attorney
General Lewis, in a statement tonight,

he was prepared TO show, by many af-

visitor at Hearst's home, at about the
time of Bolos visit TO New York in the
