FINNS MAY BEAT MONARCHY
Diet Passes Second Reading, but
Vote Is 81 to 50
Special Gable to Evening Public Ledsey

Copyright. 1918, bv Nc,D York Times Co.
Stockholm, July 1.-THE Finnish
Diet. by 81 votes to So, has given a
second reading to the bill for establish
ing a monarchy.
This is not the conclusion of the mat
ter. for on the third reading the repub-
lican minority will propose that the
people themselves shall decide by gen.
eral vote. II this proposal is defeated.
the Government must have a majority
of two-thirds, otherwise the monarchy
bill cannot become a law. AS this
means that at least sixteen Republicans
must vote for monarchy, 1t is likely
that the monarchist measure will be de-
feated and that the Governments will
resign.
On the second reading of the bill,
Baron wrede said that monarchy was
needed because of the coming interna.
tional negotiations. If the Cadets
secured power In Russia, he added. they
would try to establish relations with
Germany, and in order to achieve that
result Germany was prepared to give
up some Finnish interests. The situa-
ton, he asserted. would be quite dif-
ferent, If Finland had a German-born
monarch.

has been forced to retire. This is
uncomfortable and none of our SOL

This was message sent by an
American general in command Of

Marne on Monday afternoon after
the Germans had succeeded in fore
ing the Americans back toward

Immediately after. the Americans
launched their counter-attack and
the lost ground was soon recovered,
with an additional half mile taken
from the Germans for good
measure.

and that is the time 1t will take for
American troops to arrive in sufY,cient
numbers to turn the scales absolutely in
favor of the Allies.
France has been for some months in
the past placing all her confidence in this
last factor. and so far as recent events
are concerned she is satisfied that her
trust cannot now be misplaced.
Critics here are full of admiration for
the brilliant staff work which has en-.
abled Foch to fix with such accuracy
the hour selected for the beginning OF
the German attack. 1t became known
| Sunday morning that the German troop,
had drawn their reserve rations. which
was sufficient hint that an offensive was
imminent. and when the French Hunners

FRENCH GUNS READY
FOR GERMAN ATTACK
Violence of Artillery Reply to
Enemy's Challenge Was,
Unprecedented
Special Gable to Erening Public Ledger

Copyri0ht 1918. By Nctc York Times Co.
Paris, July II.
The great German assault is taking
place on a part of the front where the
French high command had foreseen for
some time the probability that the Ger
mans would make their effort and where
every preparation had been made to meet
it, both in the way of men and mate
rials.
Strong evidence of this is afforded by
the fact that no sooner did the enemy
begin his artillery preparation than
masses Of Allied guns Immediately took
up the challenge, to such good effect that
there is reason to hope that the Germans
suffered much more from the French and
American counter preparation fire than
did the Allied defenses from their attack.
The violence Of the Allied artillery reply
may be gauged from the fact that never
before yesterday has the sound of guns
been heard in Paris. For the first time
since the beginning of the war in every
part of the city windows ratified from the
conclusion of guns. Such phenomenon
had never before been observed here, al
though the defending guns used in the
last three offensives were many miles
nearer Paris.
