Declares Hays Letter Frank.

The Hays letter Colonel Harvey
pronounces "undeniably frank, un-
eQuivocal. and. to our mind, wor-
thy Of the highest commendation."
Regarding the Mccormick letter
he points out that five weeks have
passed since 1t was written and
nothing has happened.
This. the colonel says, warrants
"a direct appeal to the leader of
the democratic party-to the only
man who can meet the country's de-
mand and resolve into accomplish
ment his own dictum that politics
shall be as 1t ought to be, ad-
journed."
Wilson's Action Bellies Words.
Proceeding from this, Colonel
Harvey says: I'VE regret exceed
ingly that, since the above was
written, the president has felt i'm
PEELED to take action which seems
to demonstrate conclusively, that in
practise, if not in theory, politics is
not adjourned. so far as he and his
are concerned" and he recites the
presidents action in inducing Hen
ry Ford to become a candidate for
the Senate in Michigan. He adds:
"A more brazen or less defensive
act, belying his own words and
breaking his own pledge to congress
and the people, was never performed
by president of the United States. y

LONDON, Aug. 12- American troops
are in the suburbs of Bray to-day,
fighting continuous battle for the
outskirts of the little French city.
The Allies have captured the town
of Curry, to the right flank Of the
Somme battlefront, according to news
from the front this evening.
The massif of Lassigny, three miles
northeast of Curry, in Picardy, was ex-
pected to be in the possession Of the
Allies by nightfall, according to mill
tary opinion to-day based on the latest
news from the front. 1t WAS stated
that the Allies virtually were on the
crest of the high ground and firing into
the Germans from the rear.
1t has been ascertained that there is
one Austrian division on the Western
front, but it has not yet been brought
into action.
On the entire front nothing is seen
yet by the experts to indicate that the
Germans intend to hold their present

The newspaper plaintively adds:
moscow is in the hands of anti
German elements and the followers of
the Social Revolutionists of the left.
This would show that the Bolshevik
rule at Moscow is at an end, and this
is the case not only at Moscowpbut in
the greater part of Russia, if not in
the whole Russian Empire. This
throws a vivid light on the failure of
the German policy in the East"
Wholesale arrests of Allied nationals
have been made in Moscow, according
to dispatches from that city to the
"LokalAnzeiger" Of Berlin.
Police vigilance in the streets Of
Moscow and Petrograd has been inten-
sifcd, according to Moscow dispatches
to the "Wcser Zcitung," of Bremen.
Strong infantry and cavalry units pa
troll the streets day and night, arresting
all persons unable to show identifca-
ton cards
Extensive measures have been taken
to prevent sudden revolution. Guns
have been placed in all the squares and
machine guns on all the corners. Militia
forces in cities have been considerably
strengthened.
The situation in Moscow is less Sc
cure than ever since the Lettish regi-
ments, the strongest supporters of the
Rolsheviki, have been sent to fight the
Czccho~Slovaks, according to the "Vor-
waerts," of Berlin. The newspaper adds
that they have been replaced by less
reliable guards and that the Bolshevik
government appears to be badly shaken.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-Premier Lenine
and his chief assistant. Leon Trotzky
have fled to Kronstadt, the naval base
near Petrograd, according to a dispatch
sent out by the semi-official Wolff Bu-
reau, of Berlin, and printed in Zurich
newspapers, says Havas report from
Paris.
The Berlin "Lokal-Anzeiger," also
announcing the flight of Lenine and
Trotzky to Kronstadt, says the entire
Bolshevik government soon will follow
them.
Officers and counter revolutionists
who are under imprisonment also will
be taken to Kronstadt, according to
this plan.
The position of the Soviet govern
ment in Russia is considered very seri-

Fears for His Life
DR.. Helfferich, the German Ambas-
sador to Russia, has informed the So
Wet government that he will move the
embassy from Moscow to Pskov because
he fears for the personal safety of
his staff, says an official telegram from
Berlin. This action, it is added, was
decided upon because of proclama-
tion Of the Social Revolutionists that
they were about to begin a reign of
terror in Moscow. Pskov was selected
because conditions at Petrograd are
almost as bad as at Moscow.
Referring to the shifting Of the Ger
man diplomatic base in Russia. the
"Vossische Zeitung," of Berlin, says:
"The removal of the German Embassy
from Moscow to Pskov sheds a lurid
light on the seriousness Of the political
situation on our Eastern front. Am
bassador Helfferich left before the en-
bassy staff because he feared for his
life.
"Thc state Of things he found in
Moscow may best be judged from the
fact that the Soviet government, of its
own accgtd. relieved him Of the duty

Resistance Swept

Another Glorious Tradition
Is Added to Army Records
Along the Somme
By Wilbur Forrest

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
ON THE BRITISH FRONT, Aug. 12.-
visited the famous River Somme to-
day, where American blood and Ameri-
can valor have just added another
chapter to Americas war traditions.
Though in small way, the boys from
the United States won the highest ad-
miration of the British, doing the diff
icult task planned for them and doing
it to perfection.
"They sailed ahead with our fellows
like veterans" said British officer l
met to-day, and this officers words
were echoed by the general at Amer
/ lean headquarters.
Here are two kilograms received by
the general from the British corps
! commander and the British division
commander. They cpeak for them
selves:
august 10.
"To general commanding American
division-Hearty congratulations on
Alccessful attack carried out by infan-
try yesterday"
The second was received some hours
later, when the "doughboys" had COM
pleted the conquest of both the first
and second of their objectives:
Headquarters Blank Division.
"Dear General Blank wish to ex-
press to you my appreciation for the
great assistance afforded my division
by your troops in the attack on Gras-
saire Wood yesterday afternoon, and
my admiration of the way in which
they carried out very difficult ma
nnuvre to get into the battle line and
for the stout way in which they over
came all resistance.
"(Signed) Commander Blank Divi-
SION"
Opposed by Veterans
There is significance therefore in the
| first American action on the Somme,
even though but few troops were en-
gagged. The men were picked for this
difficult operation, not because of any
past record but simply by virtue Of
proximity to that ro-ticn of the line
where the enemy resistance was
strongest. Therefore the honor goes to
the American army, though primarily
to those dnshing youngsters.
On their right we're the Australians,
on their left the British, all fighting
along the difficult course of the Somme
where the enemy forces outnumbering
them had the natural advantages of
hills, ravines and swamps. The Amcri-
cans share in the gains was about
1000 square yards of ground, includ-
ing the village of Chipilly; the strongly
held Grossaire and Mallard Woods, the
latter a hilltop position; three six-inch
howitzers, one field gun, ten machine
guns and a batch of prisoners.
The American battle-ground is on the
north bank Of the Somme. The dough-
boys were opposed by the 265th Regi-
ment, 1O8.h German Division, backed
by the Add Division, which was forced
to throw forces into the fighting be-
fore the Americans reached their sec
ond detectives. The doughboys dashed
to attack promptly at $3.50 o'clock Fri
day evening after q five-minute pre-
liminary artillery preparation
