Foch's New Blow Against Enemy
to Haze Important Consequences
(By Associated Press,

PARIS, Aug. 9.-Marshal Fcch has
struck the Germans on new front.
and French opinion, lay and profes-
SIGNAL, is lost in admiration in the
manner in which the blow has been
carried out. Military observers agree
that the new stroke may have import
ant consequences.
The present manoeuvre is similar to
the counter offensive north of the
Marne, in that it is directed toward
squeezing two sides of a salient
Ahead of the front which the allies al
ready have reached lies the Peronne-
Roye highway and they are gaining
rapidly toward It,
This road has the same importance
to the present battle as the Scissors
ChateauThierry road in the battle for
Fere-En- -Tardenois. If the allies reach
it, all the German troops south of a
tine through Montdidier, Lassigny and
Noyon would be placed in as serious
a predicament as those on the Marne
on July Is. That would be the first
and immediate consequence.

PROMPT Enactment

IS URGED BY BAKER
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. e.-Necessity
for passing this month by congress of
the war department man power bill
extending the draft to all men be-
tween Is and As years of age, was pre-
sented by Secretary Baker today to
the senate military committee in its
hearings of to- measure. The secre-
tary, returning from a trip to Kansas
City, where he conferred with Major
General VIM. S. Graves, leader of the
American contingent to Siberia, was
invited yesterday to appear before
the committee.
Members of the committee have
stated shat information was desired as
to the request of the war department
for speedy passage of the bill in view
of the fact that congress shortly be-
fore its recess in July infromed that
no need existed for such action.
Prompt enactment of the draft ex-
tension bill SO that September ma
be fixed as registration day as sug-
gested by Provost Marshal General
Crowder was urged by Mr.. Baker.
Without the extension he tod the
committee, it would be necessary to
invade the deferred classes

T oday's Temperatur.

For Wayne County by w. E. Moore
Partly cloudy tonight and probably
showers and thunderstorms Saturday
or Saturday night.
General Conditions-The storm over
the lakes has caused heavy thunder
showers over the north and west por-
tions of Wayne county last evening
and rain was light over remaining por-
ton Of county. Heavy local thunder
storms occurred over Indiana and
Ohio. Temperatures have fallen some
what but there will be no decided
change during the next thirty-six
hours except temporary relief from
possible local thundershowers. A
storm of great energy with a diameter
of over 1000 miles is moving south
eastward from British Columbia and
is already causing rain over the
drought stricken district Of the west.
Extreme warm weather continues
over the far east and temperatures
range from 100 to 106 along the Allan
tic coast from Norfolk to New York

Ar1iens Is Relieved.

Quite apart from the ultimate ef-
fects, the first days fighting relieved
Amiens from the German menace.
Montdidier has been surrounded and
it will be possible to re-establish the
great northern railroad through Am.
lens, the lack of which has seriously
handicapped the allies during the past
four months.
AS to the more remote effects with
out seeming to be premature, it Is held
here that the new offensive is likely to
paralyze the armies of Crown Prince
Rupprecht, which would be obliged to
bolster up Won Hutier. Consequently
RUpprecht may have to abandon the
operation he apparently prepared In
Flanders.
In addition the mere announcement
that the new battle is due to the inia-
tive to the allies. will be a sad blow
to both the German army and the Ger
man public.

Gold Coins Smuggled
Into Germany Bring
Premium of 20 Percent
(Bv Associated Presso

ARNHEM, Holland, July 29-Smug,
glers have done a big trade for some
time past in sending into Germany
gold coins of all nations. The coins
are eagerly bought up by dealers of in
determinate nationality. mostly at
Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The
Hague, premium being paid, which
has reached 70 per cent. of the face
value. In Germany, they fetch double
that sum. Thousands of smugglers
have ben dealt with in the courts in
the past four years. 1000 cases are
still awaiting trial.
One smuggler was caught recently
attempting to take gold coins out of
the country. He wore a suit, every
button of which was a cloth covered
ten florin or five form piece. There
are also reports of sandwiches with
gold coins instead of slices of sausage
between the bread and butter.

WASHINGTON. Aug 9.-The con-
tinued attempts to deceive the Ger
man people regarding the progress of
the war and Americas participation
are meeting with protests in a part Of
the German press, according to an OFF,
,cial dispatch today from Switzerland.
The Muenchner Post, according to
the dispatch, protests against recent
speech delivered at Hamburg by
Prince Henry of Prussia in which the
last battles were represented as Ger
man victories. 1T is scandalous. -
says the newspaper, "to see a person
like Prince Henry Of Prussia giving
the German people a picture of the
situation. which in no way cores
ponds to the reality Germans are
not going to let themselves be ex-
horted like children. 1t is ridiculous
to think that people are saying that
we shall support fifth war year like
the four preceding years. H would
be doing wrong to the German people.
Enough personages like Prince Henry
would do better not to speak about
the sufferings and miseries of the war.
We were told for long time that
Americas entry into the war was a
mere bluff and we see today that one
part OF the press and the greater part
of the offisia organs, are continuing
to deceive the German public. They
would do better to say openly that
Germany finds herself today in an ex-
tremely serious situation"
1t is observed that a singular si-
lence on everything which bears upon
the military situation is noticeable in
the German newspapers and news
agencies. The Swiss dispatch says

SPAIN PROTESTS
TORPEDOINC OF
SHIPS BY SUBS
New Note Addressed to Ger
many by Spanish Cabinet
Concerning U-boat Action.
(By Associated Pcesa.l

| MADRID, Thursday, Aug. Spain
has addressed a new note to Germany
concerning the torpedoing of Spanish
ships. Foreign Minister Dato made
this announcement late today after
the cabinet had held an extraordinary
session
Despite the repeated Spanish pro
tests, Spanish vessels have continued
to fall victims to German submarines
A dispatch received in Paris on July
80 said that Spanish newspapers as
serted that the torpedoing Of the
Spanish steamship Ramon de Larri-
naga was the gravest incident that
had yet occurred between Germany
and Spain. Eight Spaniards perished
in the disaster and the oil which the
ship carried was almost half the sup
ply assured to Spain under the Span
ish-American agreement.
1t was reported from Athens, on
July II, that a Spanish steamship
carrying the Spanish minister to
Greece, had been torpedoed by a Ger
man submarine. The ship flew the
minister's flag. The diplomat and his
family were rescued.
Division of opinion in Spain over
the attitude toward Germany caused
serious cabinet crisis in March,
which was settled after several days
by the formation of a coalition cabi-
net.

AMSTERDAM, Aug 9.-The Dutch
shipping council announces that after
an investigation, it has been found
that the Dutch cross channel mail
steamboat, Koningen Regentes. was
struck by torpedo early in June. No
parts of the torpedo were found, it is
added, and evidence of the nationality
of the submarine therefore is lacking.
Koningen Regentes was sunk in the
North Sea, off the English coast on
June 6. The captain insisted that the
ship has been torpedoed and much
feeling was aroused in Holland against
Germany Berlin denied the sinking
and German newspapers sought to
blame Great Britain for the loss of

denied fully by the British admiralty
