Germans, Short Of Men, Use Those
Not Yet Fit.
London. Aug. 21.-It is believed in
Cologne that the Germans are weaker
on the western front than even the
Allies claim, says the Daily Mail CORE
spondent at The Hague. He does not
vouch for other sections of Germany,
but gives this resume Of conditions in
the Cologne district:
All leaves from the front have been
reduced one-half Men are sent to the
front from the hospitals before they
are completely fit. Letters from the
front have been discontinued. De-
serters are being sent to the front
from punishment camps. Wounded
horses are hurried west with band
ages still in place.

London, Aug. 22.-FTom scissors to
the Belgian border the German armies
IN various sectors are being put to the
test by the French and British and It is
test that seemingly BODIES i'll for the
Teutonic arms, for nowhere have they
been able to sustain the shocks.
Northwest of scissors, from the
Aisne to the Disc, north of the Disc
to the region around Roye: in the
Arras sector and northward on the
famous Lys salient the Germans
everywhere have been compelled to
fall back under the pressure of the
French and British troops.
In new offensive launched by the
French General Mangin over a front
OF approximately 1914 miles, from
Bailly on the Disc to the Aisne near
scissors, the French in bitter fighting
have carried forward their line to an
average depth of two and half miles
and in the first phases of the battle
had turned to French possession nu-
merous enemy-held villages and farms.
In addition more than 5000 Germans
had been herded behind the line pris.
onerS
London, Aug. 22.-According to re-
ports reaching here, German forces
holding the vital sector of the battle
front between the Aisne and Disc
rivers were hurled back over a 10
mile front by the French. It is
or cd hot hn
the enemy positions to a depth of two
miles.
This attack, which Is continual
ton Of the assault made northwest Of
scissors, is said to endanger the Ger
man positions at scissors and on the
Aisne. 1t is added that the French
success probably Will be followed by
German retirement from Scissors to
the Chemin des Danes.
Quick Retreat indicated.
No details of the fighting are as yet
available, but an advance of two miles
In this sector would seem to place the
Germans, both along the Aisne and be-
fore Noyon, in a serious position from
which only an immediate retreat would
seem to be possible.
Unofficial dispatches also state that
significant local successes have been
achieved by the French from the Disc
northward to we'll past Roye. The line,
as It is traced in dispatches, seems to
be very close to the important town
OF Lassigny for which the French have
been fighting for the last week or
more.
Allies on Three Sides of Roye.
Thee Germans hold on Roye also
seems to be weakened by the recent
progress of the French north and south
Of the town. It would appear that
Roye now is virtually enveloped on
three sides.
just northwest Of scissors the
French have occupied the village of
Vassens, which is on the eastward
bank Of a small stream which flows
into the .Osier at Morsain, town to
the southeast, which was captured by
the French yesterday.

| willful men," The fact is, Presi-
dent Wilson did not make use of the
words, "12 willful men," as report
ed. He referred to a small number
of "willful men" but did not state
the number. The newspapers did
not quote him correctly in giving
out the interview, and the misquo-
tation has never been rectified.
Senator Curtis, of Kansas, the
Republican whip" wrote Senator
Kenyon letter at the time express
ing full satisfaction of his course,
and included him in the members
Of the senate who had been in favor
of the passage of the bill. Senator
Pomerane of Ohio, Democratic lead
er, also wrote our junior senator
and expressed full approval of what
he had done in supporting the bill.
1t is true that Senator Kenyon asked
that the bill be slightly amended.
It's sponsors accepted the amend
ments, agreeing at the time that the
measure was strengthened thereby.
The fact should be borne in mind
that Senator Kenyon was a support
err of the bill and. while it never
came to a vote, he has been classed
by the senators as one who opposed,
as we'll as his associates, on the men,
orable occasion.
Senator Kenyon is making a rec
ord for helpful assistance to the
government in carrying along the
burdens of this war. He has in
formed himself on the situation in
France as few men have been able
to, he has exerted every bit of his
energy, and has set before the senate
and the people in general the i'm
portance of getting into the war and
helping to win victory for the United
States. He is too good a man to
be misunderstood. he is so helpful
that he should be appreciated by
every patriotic citizen in the senate
and nation.
