PREPARING FOR DEFEAT.

An official dispatch from Switzer-
land says the German newspapers
not only admit that the German Of
fensive has failed. but express fear
that Gen. Foch has built up an army
Of reserves that will enable him TO
wrest the offensive from the German
high command,
The Frankfurter Zeitung declared
the plans Of Hindenburg on the Aisne-
Marne front have failed.
Something new appears in the
strategic situation" says this paper.
"Gen. Foch having been able to form
an important army Of reserves Foch's
attack aims to deal blow in the
back Of Boehm's army and should il
be successful II might compel his
army to retreat under most unfav-
orable conditions.
"Foeh's attack threatens the whole
Of Hindenburg's plans"
The Strassburger Post says the
public had in general attached too
great hopes to the German offensive
at Rhicms and asks:
"From where do these troops come
that the American transports have
brought more quickly than were ex-
peeted."
The Muenchener Neueste Nachrich-
ten says that America has more than
half a million soldiers in France
and that the English army has been
reconstructed and put into a perfect
state. II adds that II will take weeks.
perhaps. TO take the initiative from
Gen. Foch.
The Koelnische Volks-Zeitung says
the fact must no longer be hidden
that German deserters have made use
OF their knowledge Of the plans Of
operations TO betrsy their country.

BEGINNING TO BRING RESULTS

The French. British and Ameri-
cans are still hammering at the hanks
Of the crown princes army.
The Germans brought up fresh
forces at some points but the situa-
ton is reported favorable to the al
lies.
In spite Of determined efforts to
stabilize the line on each side Of the
salient between scissors and Rheims,
the allies appear to be pressing on In
vital sectors south Of scissors and
near Rheims.
Allied airmen report indications Of
German retreat as far north as the
Vesle river. the ourcq river line be-
ing virtually untenable by reason OF
the allied advance north OF that
stream.
South Of scissors, the French and
Americans are known to have reach
the Crise river.
An Amsterdam dispatch reports
that the general mobilization Of the
Russian army began July Z.
From the same source comes the
report that Germany has made sug-
gestion for a peace conference TO the
Spanish government, according to the
socialist newspaper. Vorwaerts, Of
Berlin.
She proposes that there will be no
annexations or idemnities in the west
but that her peace treaties with Rus
first time peace suggestions have been
toned.
II this report is true, this Is the
rst time peace suggestions have been
made by Germany through the usual
diplomatic channels.

WAR SUMMARY.

Violent German counter attacks
and rear guard actions in great
strength still fail to serve the German
high command as a barrier to the ad-
vance Of the allied troops on the
Scissors Rhcim salient.
True they have aided somewhat in
slowing down the fast pace set by
the allies at the commencement Of
the offensive. but nevertheless on
three sides Of the "U" shaped battle
front further important gains have
been made.
Driving slowly but surely south Of
scissors the American and French
troops have pushed their fronts fur
ther eastward toward that part Of the
Soissons- Chateau Thierry railway still
in German hands.
Further south. important penetra-
tons have been msde In the direction
Of Fere En- Tsrdenois Germany's
great storehouse for supplying her
troops to the south. The maximum
penetration near Coiney is about ten
and a half miles from the point Of
departure last Thursday.
In the Marine region north Of Cha
teau Thierry, the Americans and
French have met fierce resistance
from the Germans struggling to hold
them while extricating n large num-
Der Of Germans In danger Of capture.
In the region between the Marine
and Rheims the British, who took the
place Of Italians. have made impor-
tant gains and are now a seant three
miles from TIN Rheims and Fismes
railway.
Gsuged by war maps the German
seems constantly becoming
more hazardous.

THE THIRSTY SOIL.

brought down a volume Of water that
put them out Of their banks. In
the city a good shower fell Tuesday
and yesterday there was another one.
On the whole the dry spell seems to
be ended locally. The showers are

TOBACCO USERS
TURNED, CRAFTERS.
(By Associated Press.)

Amsterdam, July 24.-The pro-
posed rationing Of tobacco in Aus
tria has come TO a ludierous and ig-
nominious end. The number of in
dividual applications from smokers
was prodigious. In Vienna alone IL
is calculated that scores Of thous-
ands Of non-smOkers must have reg
istered as tobacco consumers, pre-
sumably for the benefit Of friends.
The result would have been the ap-
portionment Of about one cigarette
daily to each applicant. The whole
scheme has now been dropped.
