AMERICANS BRILLIANTLY PER
FORMED THEIR PART AGAINST
BITTER RESISTANCE OF GERMANS
WITH HEAVY ARTILLERY.
(By The Associated Press).

With the American Army on Aisne-
Marne Front. July 2S (7 P. M.)-The
German line is again north of the
which had been entered by the French
is at the mercy of Allies. Tightening
of the flank holds promise that the
retreat must be continued. The nne
along the greater part of the bottom
OF the old Soissons-Rheims salient has
been pushed forward in some places
to five miles. The Germans are bring
ing into play artillery in force to
check the Franco-Americans.
The Americans played a brilliant
part in the advance, which includes
the occupation of Sergy, on the north
bank of the river, and a number Of
small villages. The line tonight fol-
lows the ourcq river to Sergy and
Goussancourt, the latter place lying
about six miles north of the Marine.
The Germans offered bitter resistance,
but not to compare with that which
began late today for the retention OF
higher ground farther north of the
river. There they supplemented taeir
defense with artillery fire reaching
over the American front lines to the
support lines The volume of fire at
times reaching enormous proportions.
The Americans held their grounds un-
waveringly and sometimes advanced.
while the French on the right resisted
as steadily Allied guns from behind
their lines kept up continuous bonn
bardment during the day.

OVER MILLION HUNGARIANS
HAVE EMIGRATED To u. S.

Amsterdam, July 28.-The military
and political interests of the Central
Powers in the war have been enorm-
ously damaged by the emigration of
100000 Hungarian men to the United
States from 1900 to 1914, says Emericih
Ferenciz, a Professor OF the University
Of Budapest in the Morddeutsche Alge-
meine Zeitung. The professor demand
ed that the emigration of Hungarian
farm hands should be diverted from
the United States to Germany.
IL nothing is done to counteract the
attraction Of America, asserts the pro-
fessor, Hungary, which has already
lost about 100000 sons in war, will
be further drained of masses of capable
workers, women and children will be
drafted for manual work, marriages and
births decline, mortality and disease
increase and military strength be i'm
paired.

LOT OF CAPITAL
TO BE REQUIRED
Confidential Secretary of Ker-
ensky Makes Some inter-
esting Disclosures.
BY Associated Press,

London, July 28.-Conviction that the
Bolshiyik government OF Russia would
inevitably be overthrown and that a
new Russian government would, first
or all, take steps to pay Russia's for
elgn debt, was expressed by DR.. David
Soskfce at a recent meeting of the
holders of Russian bonds here Dr.
David Soskice at a recent meeting of
the holders OF Russian bonds here. DR..
Soskice is confidential secretary to
former Premier Kerensky of Russia
He declared that it would require
an immense amount Of capital to re-
construct the great industrial and ag-
ricultural fabric of Russia. Russia he
said can only find that capital in Eng
land and America.
G. Birch Crisp, banker, said he be-
lieved the majority of the people of
Russia would embrace the first OPP
portunity to set themselves right
with the rest of the civilized world.
The chairman of the meeting said it
was almost impossible to ascertain the
amount of Russia's debt According to
information received by the London
stock Exchange, it amounted on
January 4, 1917, to about &c, ,358, ,OOO. 900
OF this, he said the direct loans made
by the state probably would amount to
ff f0O,000,00O. In addition there were
twelve municipal loans issued by nine
principal Russian cities to the amount
of f200O0,O00. 1t was not clear whether
these figures included the war advances
made to Russia by the Allied nations.
This Srere- -sunoficially stated the ag-
gregate from 100000 to fS00, ,0O0, 900.

IMPORTANT DUTIES OF
SIGNALLING OFFICER

Behind the British Lines in France.
July 28.-The Battalion Signalling OFF,
GERS chief duty is to maintain COM
munications. A battalion headquarters
has to be in communication with the
four companies in front of it, the bat
talions on the right and left, the
brigade headquarters behind it, and the
supporting artillery. The Signalling
Officer sees that these communications
are kept up.
No line of wire will ever be abso-
lutely safe. A single trench mortar
may make a mess of any wire or cable
II this happens many times, the wise
signalling officer will consider wheth-
er some quieter route cannot be found.
The German is a man of habit, he has
way of hammering perslstently at a
certain point at a certain time. 1t is
needlessly asking for trouble to lay
wires at point which some German
has habit" OF bombarding.
