to United States District Attorney
John A. Fain for permit to hold

if the superintendents of agencies
they were under had refused them
a permit, they would have to appeal
direct to Cato Sells, commissioner

Croun Prince Tries To Turn
Great Failure Into Showy
Minor Success, French Believe

Paris, July l3.-The German
crown prince, military observers say.
is now trying to convert large
scale failure into a showy minor sue
cess which will make up in the eyes
of the German people for the 100000
men he has sacrificed.
His goal now apparently is Eper-
nay. The operation includes two
parts. In the first the Germans who
crossed the Marine in the Dormans
region are struggling to widen and
straighten the bridgehead on the
south bank. In the second, the
German right center, which at the
beginning of the action was along
the Dormans- Rheims road facing
southeast. is now pivoted on Vrig-
ny, Bouilly, Marfaux and Courton,
also Roy woods. AS the country in
this direction is thickly wooded and
consequently easily defended, some
military commentators believe the
Germans will soon find the game is
not worth the candle.
Pursuing his now familiar oppor-
tunist policy the enemy would CON
tent himself with establishing a de
fensive from toward the east and
turn his efforts southwark in the
direction of Montmirail, near Eper-
