PEACE OFFENSIVE
BYHUNS EXPECTED
BY WASHINGTON
Concerted Action of Entente
Needed to Oppose It-PreSi-
dent Is Opposed to Inteven-
ton in Russia

WASHINGTON. June 24-Germany is
preparing for vigorous peace move-at
the expense of Russia-government au-
thorfties here are convinced.
To meet this anticipated move a ire
mendous effort is being made to bring
about unity OF purpose between the
United States. France and England on
the question of aid for Russia. Eng
land and France today are carrying on
the strongest possible propaganda to
swing the United States government to
favor America-Japanese or allied inter
vention.
President Wilson is said. upon excel
lent authority, to have made no change
in his determination not to intervene In
Russia now. He is determined TO save
Russia, IL possible. from Germany. But
he wants a concerted allied effort that
will succeed when made.
1t appears likely now that this country
will soon suggest an allied mission TO
go TO Russia, mingle with the people
there and try to learn just how Russia
needs and wants to be helped.
The need for some agreed policy is ad-
mitted Germany, by launching a peace
offensive, offering to give up Belgium,
northern France and make satisfactory
settlements with Italy provided she be
allowed TO expand in Russia, would con-
front the French and British govern
rnents with. a serious problem .s..
The time has come. allied diplomats
say. when President Wilson, if he Will
not sanction Japanese Intervention,
must come forward with some other al
Tentative if Russia is to be saved.

ADVANCE 400
YARDS IN BELLEAU WOOD
InfIict Heavy Losses on Ger
mans and Capture Ma
chine Guns

WITH THE AMERICANS ON THE
MARINE, June 24.-(4:20 p. m.)-The
Americans in Belleau wood today drove
forward 400 yards, despite fierce German
resistance. They inflicted severe losses
upon the enemy, captured number OF
machine guns and then dug themselves
securely into their new lines. But
little fringe of woods now remains in
the hands of the Boches.
Despite their ideal defenses, the Ger
mans suffered heavily. The American
losses were not disproportionate to their
gains
The Germans heavily bombarded an
American unit northwest of Chateau
Thierry with gas shells today.
The enemy is constantly increasing its
defenses in this region, improving
trenches and establishing barbed wire
entanglements and machine gun nests.
The correspondent visited the Amer
lean units yesterday. The rocky uneven
ground is covered with dense under
growth and small trees. The trees are
nlangled and the ground is torn by she'll
explosions.
Hundreds of former Boche dugouts
are occupied by Americans, whose adj
vance left a trail Of captured material.
The Americans also lost some of their
own. The latter includes not only war
articles, but great NUMBERS OF empty
cigarette. tobacco and hard tack boxes,
picture postcards and treasured photo
graphs. Occasionally there is grave.

If wood life is bad for the Americans,
IL is worse for the Germans. a captured
letter written by a Hun on Friday says:
Our canteens have not come up. The
Americans are bombarding the villages
fifteen kilometers (between nine and ten
miIes) behind the front. We are in one
corner of the wood. The. Americans are
