The Alaska daily empire., 1918-05-31

LONDON, May 31.-The fea- ture of the news today is the fact that the Germans are ex- erting every possible energy to drive their wedge for the fight ing between Rheims and SOis- sons to a point between Dor mans and Chateau Theirry on the Marne river. Advices claim they are but a few miles from the Marne, and that they hope to reach it in order to cut the main line of rail cOmmuni- cation between Paris and Yer dun, and have the river to pro- tect their flank. It is believed if they succeed in reaching the river, they intend to make a turning point towards the west.
 The Allies are attacking them on both Hanks of the wedge, and claim that the momentum of the center attack is slacken- ing, by reason of reserves be- ing hurried to the point of greatest attack. It may be necessary for the Allies mili- tary to retire from Rheims and Soiss0ns.
 Aside from the attack to- wards the Marne river, the Ger mans are keeping up fierce b0mbardment on Amiens, are attacking the American forces near Montdidier, and have strong force attacking on the Ainse river front.
 AFTERNOON SUMMARY.
 Dateless.-An afternoon sum- mary by the Associated Press says the Germans, keeping their center advancing steadily, but slowly, towards the Marne riv- CT, they simultaneously have struck the Allies on their left flank along the Aliette river, and drove the Allies back, in- dicating another drive towards Paris along the Disc river.
 The Allied lines now run from SOissons through Epag- ny and Blerancourt to the Disc river, eight miles east of Noy- on. The present offensive sug- gests the possibility of re- sumption of the German drive down the Disc river valley to- wards Paris, where the Allies checked the Hun drive last March.

NOLOGDA. Russia May 21 CCorres. pondcnce of the Associated prcssD.- The German drive into Russia and the peace treaty signed by the ROlsheviki have brought back to Nol0gda some of the importance which it had in the days of Peter the Great.
 When the American ambassador, David R Francis, selected Nologda for the site of his embassy staff sia during the period when Petrograd was threatened by German occupation. the little city took on new life.

 The consulate's room was just across the hall from the German prisoners headquarters, but some of these priS- Oners apparently did not know that America was in the war.

DON'T USE YOUR HEAD
 USE M|NE," SAYS KAISER
By John NJ. Siddall editor of the
 American MagazineD


 Ivan $. Rossiter. Canadian sol. dier, has just been To see me. For year he was German prisoner. When tn" Germans caught him he was badly wounded in the right hand They took him to hospital where. without the use of anesthetiC, they cut off one Of his fingers and removed five pieces of bone from his mangled wrist. They said that they had no anesthet ics to spare for use on "schwein. hund." and added that they were say ing their anesthetics for their own wounded soldiers. Rossiter showed me what is left of his hand. It isn't much and what is left is of no use. ex- ccpt as q reminder of that German surgeon who operated without giving an anesthetic.
 While Rossitcr was in Germany he was moved about from one prison camp to another until he and other bl A''ii'lH H N'It 'NliidHSt TOT 'rtTiilull prisoners held by the allies This moy- ing about process was the most inter never allowed to stay in one place more than q few weeks In the year that he was there he was in nine dir. ferent prison camps located in various parts of Germany. On each trip the train that was transferring these wan derinG prisoners stopped at every sta tion German officers got out every time the train stopped and told pee pie that the prisoners were all new ones-just taken, Rossiter says that one excursion of this kind began at 1 o'clock in the morning and lasted until late at night. And always at every station crowd of people to jeer at these new" prisoners. many of whom were French and Belgians who had been in captivity for two years. It got to be like n theatrical troupe playing one-night stands only far more boresome for the pris- oners were never allowed to leave the trains or to communicate with the crowds that came to see them. Ros- sitter says that one company of Brit ish artillery takes the palm" for touring Germany in the guise of new prisoners. They were captured in the fall of 1914 and are still playing toI packed houses.
 In other words-to fool the people Is Germany's policy. Bismarck be- lieved in that Idea He once said that 1t is Impossible to overestimate the stupidity of the human race. No doubt the kaiser feels just as contemptuous about us. In his mind. men are noth- ing but so many tons of flesh and bone to be used to push back boundary lines.
 This war is for the purpose of pre- venting human beings from becoming as bonehead as the German emperor would like them to be It is war against the thick skull On one side are those great nations whose policy is to teach the people to think for themselves On the other is the Ger man autocracy. which says: Believe what tell you. Imagine trying to. "get by" the New York Times or the Press with that kind of flubdub.
