Illinois Judge Frees
 Pacitist
Holds Committee Should Not Have Coerced Him to
 Buy Liberty Bonds.

Springfield, Ill.,, Aug. l7.-DislOv2l statements, alleged to have been made by Theodore Pape, an attorney of Quincy, Ills, were not in violation of the espionage law because they were inreply to questions of a liberty loan committee as to which Pape did not buy bonds and subscribe to the Red Gross, according to ia decision of Federal Judge Louis Fitzhenry. here today, who dismissed the defendant.
 The court said the liberty loan com mittee had no right to coerce Pape.
 Pape is alleged to have declared, among other things, that he would not buy bonds because it would help to prolong the war, and that if others would do likewise thenatiOn would be compelled to make peace.

l,450,0UO AMERICAN TROOPS ARE ACROSS, SAYS GtN MARCH Another Million and a Half Are Under Arms at
 Home. TRANSPORTATION IS
 SUFFICIENT NOW Adequate to Fulfill Plans to Have E.. O0O. .OO0 Men in France by June,
 1919, Says Chief of
 Staff.

Washington, Aug. l7.-Of more than 3,000,OOO men now under arms the American army has sent nearly one half, or more than ,450,000 over seas for service agalns~ the enemy in France, Italy and Siberia.
 These figures were revealed today by General March, chief of staff in his senate talks with newspapermen and members of the senate military committee.
 The senators were told that some transports are making the trip to Europe and back in 19 days and that the average had been reduced to- 28 days, which with additional shipping becoming available makes the great job to getting so divisions of Ameri- can troops to France by June 30, 1919, certain of success.
 The chief of staff paid only brief attention to the progress of the fighting in France where the situa ticn is developing slowly.
 "The German Retreat"
 He did characterize the battle, how ever, as "the German retreat" and otherwise indicated that further re- tirement was expected.
 Explaining his announcement as to authorization, General March said:
 "When I give figures hereafter of troops embarked from the United States the totals will embrace the troops in Siberia, in Italy, France and Russia, proper.
 "The figures will mean the entire American expedltionary force in all parts of the world We have now en- parked on all the expeditions more than 1.450,0O0 men,
 Discussing the work of Americans abroad he said:
 Americans Praised.
 "The American troops in France are beginning to receive official French concentrations of various sorts, and here is enc that came this morning. This refers to the second artillery brigade which was with the second division in the fighting around Chat eau Thierry.
 "Atter the infantry was with drawn our field artillery was with drawn our field artillery stayed there and helped the French at that point. This commendation is from the trench commander of the division to which it was attached It is the form of an official order and the transla- tion is something like this:
 "On the eve of the relief of the sec ond artillery brigade of the second United State sartillery division from the 18th (French) infantry division the general commanding this infantry division takes the opportunity to ex- press to the brigade commander, Gen. eral Bowley, to all his officers, non- commissioned officers and soldiers, his thanks for the services ordered their French comrades and his admir- ation for the splendid American bra very.
 After having vigorously fought with the Second United State infan- try division and with 58th (French) infantry division, the second Ameri- can artillery brigade came to show, during two days of severe fighting at the side of the 18th infantry division the finest capabilities of energy, en- durance and devotion"

 AFTER ONE HOUR
''Big Bill" Haywood and Colleagues Found Guilty of ConSpiring lO Defeat Nations War
 Plans.

Chicago, Aug. 17-One hundred of the Industrial Workers of the World were found "guilty as charged in the Indictment" by the jury after one hours deliberatlcn at their trial fof conspiracy to disrupt the nations war program late today
 Arguments for a new trial will be heard next week.
 The defendants, including William i D. Big Billl," Haywood, general sec retary of the I. w. w. the highest position in the organization, face a maximum penalty of P years in pri- son and $10,00O fine. ] Federal Judge R. M. Landis, in his charge to the jury, withdrew the fifth and last count of the indictment winch charged conspiracy to violate the pos tai laws and particularly that section excluding from the mails enterprises Tn the natures of schmemes to de- fraud.
 Trial Lasted 139 Days.
 The remaining four counts of the indictment specifically charge viola 1 tion of the espionage act, the section of the criminal code prohibiting in terference with the civil rights of citizens, the selective service act ano the conspiracy statute. ! 1he close of the cases which has been before the court for 138 days was sudden.
 i Two minor witnesses testified at the morning session, and following them Frank K. Nebeker, chief coun- sel for the government, began his closing argument, for which he was allowed two hours, but consumed scarcely half of that time. Defense Makes No Argument.
 Then Geo. F. Vanderveer, head o1 the defense legal staff, to the sur prise of all in the court room declared that would submit the case to the jury without making closing state ment.
 In his closing argument, Attorney Nebeker said:
 "The wisdom of the decisions of the issue. The industrial system is not on trial. This case is not against hon. est working men, nor against any patriotic labor organization.
 And no effort is being made by o'iS SoNSA HiiiCIiC CC JuSCIy HlOU VlO lence, the Bisbee deportation or other lawless acts.
 "At it's very start the l. w. w struck at the foundations of oul govednment. It is peculiar that in ev cry state of the union these fellows got into trouble. In a little town al ordinance is passed. They come ant violate it, and say they are going tt violate it.
 "The documents issued by the de lfendants themselces are enough t. convict them. When you consider thu definitions made by the witnesses ol the stand and compare them witl what they have written and the book they authorized the case of the gov ernment is complete"
 Prisoners Are Quiet.
 After the instruction of Judge Lan dis the jury retired at 4:10 p. m. ant just one hour later announced tha : it's verdict was heady. The court wa hastily assembled and the verdict wa read at 5:25 p. m.
 There was no demonstration an' the defendants were returned to thei cells after Judge Landis had announ ced that he would hear arguments flo a new trial nert week, the exact dat : to be set later

Associated Press Summary.
 Marshal Foch has at last definitely connected up the battles of the Aisne and the Somme.
 Announcement is made that, by
 local attacks the plateau north Ui Autreches, about ten miles northwest of SoisGons, has been carried by the French and that their success gives them position dominating the region extending nOrthWard toward the Disc river
 The attack while it was local in character, must have had plenty of power behind it to carry the French lines as far ahead as is indicated in despatches telling of the incident.
 The French line from the Aisne to the Disc has been inactive since early in July and, at last reports, ran through Autreches to Moulin-Sous Touvent, and thence northwesterly through the Carlepont and Ourscamp forests to the Disc.
 Advanced Mile.
 If the whole plateau north of Aut- reches has been taken from the Ger mans, the French have advanced up- wards of mile in that region. s'r When the Germans halted their re- treat from the Marne salient, and made stand on the Aisne, it was
 assumed that blow northwest of
 S0issons would be struck sooner or later, as a success there would oul- flank the Germans and compel their retreat to their old lines north of
 the Chemin Des Danes, which runs
 along the ridge north of the Aisne ,, Then the PicWdy offensive began
 and the eyes of the world were fixed on the allied progress east of the Avre and Ancre.
 This drive has recently been most
 ly at a standstill. Only local ac- | tions have been fought for the past four days along the line established by the Germans west of the Somme. Some of the progress especially along the southern sector of the line I has been important, though hardly noticeable on map, but the Ger l mans are desperately defending every inch of the high ground southwest of Noyon and south of Lassigny as well as the area around Rove. lAlNed Pressure Continuing. The allied pressure is continuous and heavy however, and may event. l ually break down the enemy resis- tence.
 There are no indications that Mar
 shal Foch will continue his pressure
 north of Soissons but his first suc-
 cess may be exploited. It would not be surprising to see
 the fighting spread between the Aisne and the Disc, for an allied victory in that region would break the hinges of both the Aisne and Somme lines and compel a German retirement on both sides of the new battle area. From SOissons to Rheims. the al- lies, among them considerable
 American forfe. have been doing little since the Americans regained their positions at Esnette. across the Vesle from Fismes. after being driven back over the river by furious assault by the Germans.
