SHE'LL PERFECTED IN FLIGHT.
French Scientists Believe German Long
Range Shells Are Wonderfully
Prepared.

Paris, July 2.--(Correspondence of
Associated Press) That the bursting
charge Of shells from the German long-
range guns is mixed while the projectiles
are in actual fight is the belief of French
scientists, according to technical jour
nal published here.
When the Smelling Of Paris began 1t
was noticed that the explosion Of a shell
produced cloud Of black smoke mixed
with little that was white and ac-
companied by strong smell OF ether.
Recently the smoke has been entirely
white and very light, the ether odor per-
sisting.
No shell that failed to explode has
been found, nor even an entire fuse, In.
dicating how delicate and reliable the ex-
plosive is. This fact leads experts TO
suppose that the shell is charged with
two liquid explosives, separated by the
perforated partition which is known to
exist in the center of the projectile.
When the shell is fred at a high angle
the liquid in the upper end combines
with that in the lower chamber, and
ehurned by the violent rotation, produces
at the moment of impact, three minutes
later, a perfect mixture. This would ex-
plain, it is said, the ability Of the charge
TO resist the enormous shock when fired
and the remarkable uniformity of the ex-
plosion.

"Father Really Doesn't work'-charles

but there are some, of course, on which
we differ. For example, I cannot and

Back Across the Marine.

No Germans except prisoners and the
dead are now left on the south bank Of
the Marine, and while it may be disap-
pointing that they could not all be cut
off and captured, this under the condi-
tions was hardly possible, and their en-.
forced withdrawal with heavy losses is
in itself considerable victory for the
allies.
To get back as quickly as possible be-
came urgently necessary for the Germans
as soon as their rear was threatened by
Gen. Mangins drive against the west
face Of the salient. Their position astride
the river was strategically unsound, but
it was no doubt expected that its weak
ness would speedily be corrected by the
general advance over wide front. If
that had succeeded, it would have been
the allies who were in peril; when it
failed the Germans had but a limited
time to press the attack on Rheims and
Epernay, and Gen. Foch's shrewdly.
planned thrust made it necessary to
abandon even that limited objective and
scramble back across the river in undig
nified haste.
Berlin amusingly explains that the
presence of the troops on the south bank
had become unnecessary" their retreat,
however, had become necessary in the
extreme. Thus far the honors are all with
the allies, but the Germans have reserves
enough to make it a long, huge and des-
perate battle If they choose Springfield

AMERICAN RAID
MADE IN VOSGES
They Inflicted $50 Casualties
and Sustained Virtu-
ally None

With the American Army in France,
Sunday, July 81 tBy Associated Press -
American troops in the raid into the
German lines in the Vosges Friday night
inflicted $50 casualties on the enemy and
sustained virtually none themselves. The
German prisoners declare they had been
receiving bad food and poor ammunition.
Six officers and Is men have been com
mended in French and American orders
for conspicuous bravery in the prepare
ton and execution" Of raid in the
Vosges recently. This raid was preceded
by half hours artillery preparation.
Two hundred Americans, including 80
bandmen as streteher bearers, penetrated
500 yards into the German trenches and
inflicted nearly 100 casualties. They
also took seven prisoners from crack
Uhlan troops sent into the line several
days before to make raid on the Amer
lean trenches. The American raid an
ticipated the German plan by only few
hours and occupied only As minutes.

Our Army's Share.

The army of the United States has
had a very creditable share in the weeks
glorious work in France, American di.
visions held a sector on the Marine so
tenaciously on the first day Of the Ger
man offensive that the enemy was
promptly forced back across the river
and was held there throughout the criti-
cal DAYS that followed. That alone was
valuable service because the left flank
of the allied battle line, the flank which
covered Paris, was securely safeguarded.
Again, in the effective counter stroke
by General Foch over 100000 Americans
have participated; their aid in throwing
back the Germans on the line from the
Aisne to the Marine ia ungrudgingly rec
ognized in France and their share of the
credit for this brilliant drive, the most
successful on the side of the allies in
many weary months, must now cores
pond to the extent of the German defeat
In the weeks offensive on the Rheims sa-
lient. America, in brief, has CALAMITY

perhaps the severest German check and

Marine was fought.
Those who said last spring that our
military machine had stopped "func-

abyss of incompetence and stupidity,
that the president should have had forced

have their answer. The government of
this country is not incompetent. The

of this is seen in the blazing battle lines

Holland People Turn to Them as Popular

The Hague, July 22--The Boston
baked bean, formerly despised except by
the humble classes of Holland, has been
restored to public favor by the recent
embargo on shipments of wheat from
America Forty thousand acres of land
have been converted into areas for grow
ing beans and peas.
Queen Wilhelmina is setting an ex.

Trade IN food substitutes thrives amaE-
ingly. The police of Alkamaar recently
seized 400 bales Of roasted flower bulbs
and 400 pounds of milled acorns which
were intended for use in making coffee.
Much of the shortage of milk, butter,
eggs, meat and fresh vegetables is due
20 the fact that Holland has to barter
many of these good things for German
coal and iron.

Philadelphia, July 22.--Steel is now
arriving at the big government ship
building plant at Hog island in adequate
quantities, according to H. w Blood,
an engineer for the American Interna-

The fabricstors of steel parts for
ships Mr. Blood said "are making good,
and the steel committee, recently APP
pointed to see that the shipyards are
stocked with steel parts, has done much
toward the solution of the problem"
The Hog island yard, the largest in the
world, is preparing for its first launching
on Aug. a. The ship is the Red Jacket.
1t is an S,00O-ton freighter. Two more
scooter freight carriers are nearly half
completed. The second launching is ex-

German military authorities sought sug

every available man was turned on to
the business of carrying out the artists
ideas.
Miles of canvas painted to look like
roads were constructed, under which reg.

Paper encampments were improvised,

KARL MARX THEORIES
BEING ABANDONED
In Favor of What Is Virtually Pan-Ger-
man By German Socialists, Accord
ing to German Newspaper.

ing 70 German Newspaper.
London, July 22.--'Neo Marxism" is
the name applied by the Frankfprter
Zeitung to the remarkable reaction un-
dergone by an apparently increasing sec
ton Of German Socialists, whereby Karl
Marx principles have been abandoned in
favor Of what is virtually pan-German.
The chief organ Of the new school is
the Glocke, of which the chief writer is
DIR. Paul Lensch. The Neue Zeit, for
merly in the hands of the Socialist mi
nority, is following in the same course,
trying also, with the hearty support Of
pan-German papers, to give new mean
ings TO Marx doctrines. The Vorwaerts
and other official organs of the Socialist
majority still profess the "internationa"
idea, although in practice they support
the German government.
According to the Frankfurter Zeitung,
much attention has been attracted to a
book by Herr Renner, an Austrian Ger
man, called "Marxism, War and InterHa-
tionale." Renner denounces the "moral
Judgment point of view" and regards war
as the completion of historical, and espe-
cially economic, processes He says:
ut is not impossible that in the fu-
ture also the world will find order
through war-like selection-that the
power which proves itself to be the
strongest organization is also summoned
by history to perform the greatest work
Of organization, and to be by right the
highest power, the judge, administrator,
and law-giver of the peoples"
This appears to be the view of Lensch
and his supporters. They say they are
sick of ''ethical flowers" and, the Frank
furter Zeitung puts 1t. "ridicule any
resolute viii to peace and peace by ne
gotiation and declare the right of self
determination of the peoples and par
iamentarism TO be barren catchwords."
The attempt, the Frankfurter paper
points out, to reconcile Socialism with
pan Germanism is built upon the theory
that the only factors in the world that
really matter are economic.
