DIR. Karl Helferich.

The Hague, Aug. 8.-some Ger
man newspapers are criticizing
Foreign Minister Won Hintze for
sending DR.. Karl Helfferich, former
vice chancellor and minister Of the
treasury, to Moscow as the success
sor of the late Count Won Mirbach
in the German embassy.
The Berliner TagebIatt remarks
that Won Hertling was right when he
stated that although war had been
waged for four years, the method of
distributing offices remained the
same.
"The chief thing is that the mas
tiers who divide up the posts are sat
isfied. but there is no doubt that out
side this narrow circle the sending
of 'Helfferich is not welcome" it
comments.
While admitting that Helfferich's
qualities as a banker will be useful,
The Tagleblatt points out that he is
not to negotiate with bankers in
Moscow, but with Russian reyolu-
tionaries and people OF another
world. 1t remarks that while. he
clings strongly to the cap!kalistic
viewpoint, he will deal with Social
lists, and reminds its readers Of HeIg-
ferich's aptitude for quarreling with
the reichstag parties and leaders

Aisne Marine Front, Friday. Aug. 2.--
German soldiers generally welcome
the news that more American sold
diers are arriving in France. believing
that the faster the Americans ar
rive the sooner there will be g. de-
cisive battle or a definite peace move
according to a sergeant Of the
Fourth Prussian guards division who
was captured by the Americans near
Sergy.
The prisoner told the correspon-
dent the soldiers were sick of the
war and that the poorer classes in
Germany believe now that Germany
is bound to lose. The capitalists,
however, insist on continuing the
war at all costs.

On the northern end Of the plateau
to the southeast Of scissors the
French have advanced from Venizel
to a point south Of Braine, on the
Vesle. The advance is continuing on
the line further to the east.

Of the Vesle river, between Muzon

is intended. Fourteen large fires
have been observed. The important
center Of Fismes is in flames and
there are great conflagrations at two
villages to the northwest Of that
town.
The retirement Of the forces Of the
German crown prince now appears
to be OF a very rapid character.
There has not been q great deal
Of fighting, certainly not in the area
southeast Of scissors and it is I'M
likely that any large captures Of

forces have made an important re-

The Two Bio Enctoras

| London, Aug. 3.-The advance OF
the entire allied line In the Scissors
Rheims salient Is commented on
here with elation, although not with
out reminders that the allies yet
have a long way to go. Official and
l other dispatches are regarded as
revealing O. transformed situation
| ooinciding with the arrival Of Amer
| lean detachments so strong as to
| give the allies g. numerical advantage
In reserves and justifying high hopes
| for the future.
The altered situation is attributed
TO two main factors, namely, that
| the American strength Is beginning
to tell with great effect and that
the allies are reaping an increasing
advantage from unity Of command.
General F'och's skill receives many
tributes, but none warmer than that
given in O. speech at Belfast by Wis.,
count French. former British COM
General Foch as the finest soldier
the war has produced, adding:
HE has given an exhibition Of
military genius which probably will
cause his name to rank In history
among those of the worlds greatest
commanders.
The newspapers devote much
space to the anniversary Of Great
Britain's entry into the war and the
preparations for the services for
connemoration and intercess1on on
Sunday for which the immediate out
look on the front has furnished
setting Of hopeful confidence that q
little while ago would have seemed
much too sanguine. Commenting on
the anniversary The Times says:
1--WE are passing through period
OF upheaval, which may be more
pregnant with good or evil than the
French revolution, the rise of Islam
or the downfall Of the Roman empire.
1.-THE new leaven is working in all
allied democracies and toward
similar results.
I'm America the results have been
the cIearest and most Immediate.
Her people have risen to the height
Of her destinies and in so rising
have realized for themselves that
Germany has made them nation as
she had made us an empire"

Victory Says Prisoner

not all the German soldiers believed
it.
Among the German soldiers it
was common talk that If any Of them
had a good chance to be taken
prisoner by the Americans they
would do so. So. generally among
the Germans VINO have been in the
war four years, as have been, many
are eagerly watching for an opport-
unity to be captured"
The sergeant said the officers
never told them the truth when
there was to be German offensive.
The officers got the soldiers nerved
for fight by informing them the
allies were about to launch an at
tack and then at the proper time
they would order their own men for
ward.
There is. no danger OF a revolution
among the German soldiers, he con-
tinued, so long as they are we'll fed.
He said the German soldiers had
meat, mostly in the form of a stew,
every day, but the poorer classes at

pound per week. Generally speak
ing, the soldiers had enough to eat
but no luxuries.

The allied victory is said generally
as being equal to the first Victory OF
the Marine as strategic master
piece.
What the consequence OF yester-
days victory will be, cannot vet be
gauged, but that It will be far reach
Ing already appears certain to the
commentators. The enemy cannot
hold the Vesle line. 1t Is believed,
but must recross the .Aisne. Since the
allied recapture Of Scissors the allies
are able to debouch on both sides of

The enemy seems to be perfectly
aware Of this and also Of the neces-

dents. In accordance with practices
he already has set fire to bases at
Fismes.

An Imnortant Move.

With The American Army On The
A1sne Marine Front, Friday. Aug. 2
Much Importance is attached tc
the advance Of the Allied forces on
The easterly sid6 Of the Scissors
Rheims front to the line Of CeuX
and Thillois. 1t is pointed to as
serving the double object Of protect
ing RheimS and placing the allies
N a position to cripple still further
the already badly crowded Germans
In their retreat towards the Vesle.
The northward movement of the
Germans has now reached such a
point that the reopening of the
Chalons-Rheims railroad is assured
The news received tonight that
scissors had been entered was greet
ed with rejoicing by the French and
Americans on the line to the south
east, who felt confident that their
own line would be pushed forward
and sraightened out speedily on the
front to the north of Coulognes and
Aroy-St. Review.

out to Woodrow Wilson on how to run

some feeling when they fail to show
up. I Oftentimes the arguments get
pretty warm and there is a precipi-
tate retreat with some remarks said
under low breath that would not look
we'll in print but it is all forgotten
over night. A. S. Sigurdson, that
democratic sachem who can always be

out and give him the right of way. 50
with a joyous tra-tra-la he and his
friends started west on high speed
with no thought of guile or any other
thought in mind but of getting some
place. Now we have good sized
switch engine plying between Berea

had forgotten or else he was chestyy
enough to think that his baby go,cart
could push off the track, but Tom
Costello was at the throttle OF the
switch engine and he will not allow
any train master with buggy to
butt him off the track so he just back

Mrs. Joe Baarstad passed away
about 11:30 last night at the general
hospital from an attack of influenza
The deceased was only taken sick two
or three days ago and her death was
distinct shock as her case was not
considered serious to start with
Her husband is also sick at the hospi-
tai with the same disease and we un-
derstand that their little baby has also
been sick with the same disease. Mr.
Baarstad is employed in the hardware
store of F. w. Heidel. His friends
deeply sympathize with him in his
loss. Undertaken C. A. Olsen took
charge of the remains and will look
after the funeral arrangements, the
time for which has not been set at
this time. Mr.. Baarstad being sick
himself and all his relatives also, he
has certainly run up against some
hard experience.
