German Press F0reseeS
More Trouble With Russ

AMSTERDAM, August Some
German newspaper reviews of the
fourth year Of the war betray dis
quietude over the grave situation in
Russia as shown by the assassination
of Ambassador Won Mirbach and Field
Marshal Won Eichhorn, the allied ac-
tivities in the Murmansk region and
the Cze zecho-Slovaks' successes in east
ern Russia. They express fear that
these various causes have combined
to weaken the Moscow government
and are calculated to bring about a
struggle against Germany.
The vossische Zeitung Of Berlin
remarks that the fourth year of the
war was characterized "by the heroic
resistance of our armies, but diplo-
matte failure enabled the entente to
retain the political initiative" It de-
clares the Brest-Litovsk treaty has
become a sharp weapon in the hands
of hostile propaganda and blames
former Foreign Secretary Won Kuehl-
produced the situation menacing to
Germany.
The Frankfort Zeitung says that
the hopes of London, Paris and Wash
ington that Russia will form a new
hostile front and give a new turn to
the war will not be fulfilled. 1t ad-
mits, however, that it is conceivable
that the changes on the eastern front
may compel Germany to take pre-
cautionary measures, greatly increas-
ing the burden of our task"

The senators were not told what age
limits Secretary Baker had deter
mined to recommend. Mr.. Baker has
said that two published reports as to
his decision, one fixing the limits at
nineteen to forty years and the other
ut nineteen to thirty-stx. were wrong.
He probably will announce his plans
next week.
Some senators were of the opinion
today that the forty-year limit would
not be reached, and that it was inn
probable that men Of more than
thirty-eight would be called out for
a long time at least
The situation on the front as re-
vealed in official dispatches received
up to last night aroused great hope
among the senators that the war had
reached definite turning point, and
that the tide of victory was now
flowing toward the allies. The Of
fetal advices did not mention the
capture of Soissons, but in discussing
the new battle lines Gen. March told
the senators that the French Official
