Our state debts" the vice-chancel-
lor says, "are everywhere reaching
fantastic heights and everywhere we
struggle against the encroachments
on our personal liberty. All of the
belligerents of Europe must admit, if
they are not blind, that the longer the
European peoples lacerate each other,
the more certainly will the historical
and paramount position of weakened
and impoverished Europe be lost in
favor of cleverer and more calculating
peoples" ..
Herr Won Payer reminded his hear

was being waged almost entirely on
enemy territory. He admitted that

quickly and surely as had been hoped

soldier who had fallen overheard,

going to his new headquarters in
Brest, France. 1t was thought that
the Belgian officer had become de-
spondent and had tried to take his
life, and Lieutenant Shirk's bravery
in rescuing the drowning man was
doubly tried when the officer began
fighting off his rescuer
Lieutenant Shirk. was president of
the United Refrigerator company

Naval Aviation late in the spring at

I'VE now are standing on our new
lines which have been prepared" says
the official statement reporting mill
tary operation on the western front
issued today by the German general
staff
During the night" the statement
adds, the evacuation of the St Mi

circlement and which had been under

'In anticipation of theattack of the
French and Americans on the ST.

this salient a few days ago"

the Combres height, says the official
statement issued today by the Aus
trian war office, assured the systemat-
ic retreat of the Germans.
DominatingIy American.
The allied offensive on the western
front, for the first time is dominating
ly American, the French cooperating
and in a military sense as continu-
ing phase of the battle which began
early last summer.
Newton d. Baker, the American Sec
retary of war, with several other
notables witnessed the beginning Of
the battle from the vantage point OF
a French fort close behind the middle
of the line.
The front over which the attack was
made was so extended that the bril-
liant lands of vivid light soon stretch
ed from far eastward to westward,
lighting up the clouds. Soon, there
began to arise star shells, signal rock
cts and flares thrown up by the enemy
to betray the Americans should they
leave their trenches suddenly to be-
gin an infantry attack. To this gen.
eral color scheme. there was soon add
ed a reddish glow as ammunition
dumps exploded and buildings set on
blaze and an ammunition giving off
this color exploded about four O'Clock.
Under U. S. Commanders.
The character of the artillery fire
charged slightly. lessened a little in
intensity and German star shells burst
with more frequency as five o'clock
approached as though the enemy sus-
peCted that was the hour set for the
dltdth. MUTE dtiu 1uOTe dill-
munitiQn DUMPS exploded just before
five. the artillery bombardment sud
denly resumed its original intensity
and Is the sky was beginning to be
tinged with dawn. it again took on a
white look along the horizon Precise
ly at five O'Clock, the thunder of the
guns accompanying the glare of light
stopped and in the sudden silence the
Americans went over the top All
along the lines could be heard the
chattering of German machine guns
and then suddenly the thunder COM
menced again when barrage was
laid down to protect the soldiers as
thev approached the German trenches.

years of German occupation is threat
