LONDON. June 14.-After observ- ing American soldiers fighting for the past month, Reuters correspondent with the American forces in France gives his impressions:
 "On a front considerably wider than half of France" he says. the plain Facts are that whenever the Germans see the Americans, the Germans have been beaten: though possessing long experience at war and in most cases a considerable superiority of numbers. while able to inflict regrettable losses they always paid much more dearly in defeat than have the Americans for victory. That is incontestahle and speaks for itself

A patriotic prayer was of- tered by Chaplain Crutchfield and the exercises were closed by the excellent reading by Miss Margaret Cronn of Hats off. the Flag is Passing By!"
 But that was not all that was heard of patriotism. in the house.. In the course of bitter and subsequent debate over the bill to exclude non English speaking workmen from the mines and sWeltcrs as well as all other hazardous occBpations both sides averred that their attitude toward the bill was in- spircd by patriotism. On one side it was declared that such a law would bc pro German in effect. On the other side, it was coutcnded that the bill proposed the Americanization of the foreign. non English speaking element.

 Just how the debate was opened is not clear The bill was up for third reading when Mir Goodwin desired to explain the vote he was about to cast against tho bill: he had favored it the day before in the committee of the whole. not because he approved of the legislation but because it was re- ferred measure and he did not desire HF ..t.

The communication reports only Jig ht fiqhtinq on the remainder of the western front.
 The text of the communication follows:
 Southwest of Ypres the French launched violent attacks against our lines between Voormezeele and Vierstraat. They were re- pulsed with treat slaughter, and 150 prisoners remained in our hands.
 There have been successful reconnoiterihg engagements in the kemmei sector.
 "On the remainder of the front the fighting activity revived only intermittently. The increased ar tiIIery activity has been kept up on the battlefield southwest of Noyon. In the neighborhood of CourcelIes and Mery, as well as in the Matz region immediately west of the Disc, the enemy re- newed his counter attacks but was repuIsed with heavy losses.
 "On both sides of the road be- tween Soissons and ViIIers Cot terets we penetrated into the for est of ViIIers Cotterets.
 Since May 27, the army ot General von Boehm has captured more than 73o guns. This in- creased the number of guns brought in by the army group of the German crown prince, since May 27, to 1,090. Twenty eight enemy airplanes were shot down yesterday. The losses of the enemy's air forces on the German front for the month of May amount to 23 captive balloons and 413 airplanes.

INTERVENTION IN RUSSIA |S
 AGAIN TALKED
Entente Allied Governments
 Are Said to Be Urging Japan to Take In Hand
 Situation In Rus ssi.a

TOXIC, Friday, June 7.-(By the Associated Press).-An important council attended by Prince Fushimi, Field Marshal Yamagata and Terauch the premier); Lieut.. General Oshima, the war minister, and others, was held in the general staff office today. A joint conference of the field marshals and the admirals has been summoned for June 10.
 Are Urging Intervention
 The entente governments of Europe are bringing increasing influence to bear to induce Japan to intervene in Russia. Among the several French officers who have arrived in Tollio to consult with the general staff is Major Pichon, who was head of the French military mission to Russia and whose recall was demanded by the bolsheviki. Major Pichon is striving for intervention in Siberia as a military necessity with the same energy that he opposed Rumania' s entrance into the war as an ill-ad = vised step.
 Japanese Opinion Divided
 Apparently, Japan is divided on the question of intervention, but the army is undergoing severe training.
 The parties in favor of intervening are finding support from A. l. Kono- valoff, formerly minister of trade and industry in the Russian provisional government and especially from Jules Destree, who was appointed Belgian minister to Petrograd in August, 1917
 Tt is urgently imperative for the defense of the interests of the entente that there shall be a liberation 'oi the Russian people from GermaniC domination" M. Destree declared "The trans Siberian railroad is. the only remaining communication with the outside world, and this could be destroyed at any time by the German prisoners of whom there are 10000 under arms in Siberia. 1 saw armed Germans at every station, os- tensibly allies of the bolsheyiki. Tho destruction of the trans Siberian rail road would mean the complete aban- donment of Russia to the Teutons.

Representatives of Electric
Interurban Electric Lines
Favor Action.
Mr.. FABER EXPLAINS

Representatives of electric inter-
urban lines in the United States de-
cided yesterday to urge all roads to
apply to state commissions immedi-
ately for authority to raise passenger
fares to a basis of cents a mile, or a
little less in special cases. and freight
rates by about 25 per cent.
This action was taken in conform
ity with the prospective increase In
passenger and freight rates on steam
roads.
Commuters Will Be Affected.
City street car lines are not includ-
ed. But millions of commuters will
be affected If the advances are made.
State commissions will be asked to
expedite hearings on the applications
on the ground that electric lines are
facing deficits of earnings unless their
income is increased. There are more
than 10000 miles Of interurban lines
in the United States. The best de-
veloped roads are in Indiana. Ohio. IL
i.linois. New York and New England.
Most lines are expected to ask for
straight three-cent fares. although
those in Indiana may seek lowr rates
to maintain existing differentials
with steam competitors. Special
mileage and Communication rates also
may be maintained.
In explanation of the concerted ac-
tion by interu1ban roads, E. c. Faber.
manager of the American Electric
Railway Associations war board, yes
terday gave out a statement saying:
Operating Expenses Higher.
"The electric'railways must increase
their rates to meet increased operat-
ing expenses. The same conditions
affecting the steam roads and neces-
stating increases also affect the cleo
trio roads to even a great degree, be-
cause the steam roads main revenue
is from freight. which has always
been more or less profitable, while
electric roads depend largely on the
local passenger traffic. which steam
roads have almost invariably found
to be a losing business.
Financial markets have been closed
to electric railway properties, because
of government financing. and shrink
age of revenues To cover increased
operating costs. to rehabilitate credit
and to cooperate with the govern
ment in the operating of its railroads
the electric railways must bring their
