Paris. juno 10.
The impression given here by the Ger
man efforts is that the enemy is deter
mined by every means possible to hasten
the climax of the battle That the climax
may prove decisive for Germany is
everywhere recognized. hut it is also
recognized that whatever further sue
cesses the enenv may achieve cannot
be decisive for the Allies. and cannot
affect the end Of the war. which San only
he brought to a conclusion by the de-
cis!ve defeat of Germany
Evidence both of Germany's desire
and how It is producing the exhaustion
of her effective reserves is seen in the
feet that the Crown Prince was forced
to borrow two divisions of Prussian
Guards and two divisions of Bavarians
from the army of Crown Prince Rup-
precht
The strength of the French resistance
has delighted Paris and given birth to
the highest hopes for the immediate
future. The reason for the enemy's con-
tinued advance Yesterday is attributed
by Marcel Hutin in the Echo de Paris
to the enormou number Of ank which
the Germans threw into the battle. Ac-
Cording TO Euttn. the Germans intend
to fn'Sh the war before the end of the
month and. says this writer, II should
not be surprised if they shortly under
take a naval action, supported by the
whole of their feet, in common with a
new effort against the British front"

The general commanding expects to
send the guns to Washington and
Annapolis instead of trench mortars
previously captured.
The guns a been empiaced in a
naturally camoufaged position, screened
by foliage and equipped with flash muff-
lers. II is believed that these pieces
were the ones that had been harassing
the Americans positions lately as the
enemy had been firing numerous "whiz-
bangs 'shells) at advanced positions
of the marines and the Americans were
particularly anxious to find them.
The Smelling was especially uncomfor-
table for the Americans because they
were not entrenched. They were shell
tered merely in hastily dug earth
works.
sixty Hours without Food
The big bag of German prisoners was
due to the fact that the concentrated
artillery fire prevented the enemy from
carrying out any movement.
taptives said that the Smelling pre-
vented rations from being brought up
to them and that it had been sixty. hours
since they had received any fresh food
German officers refused to surrender
to American privates, insisting that
they give themselves up only to Ameri-
can officers. Nearly all of the marines

officers spoke the German language.
The German prisoners and the Ameri-
cans exchanged cards, cigarettes and

UNIFORM MILEAGE |S ESSENTIAL F
 TIRES ID SATISFY

"The machine has been perfected so that it is faultlessly precise in what it does. Once the tire maker has installed machines that are unerring he has made far-reaching step in standard izing his product" Uniform mileage was the subject of being discussed by MT. Frank c. Millhoff, general sales manager of the Miller Rubber company of Akron, Ohio.
 But" continued MT. Millhoff, modern machinery at best can only eliminate the mechanical variation. Much of the work of building tires is still done by hand. Men must vie with the accuracy of unfailing machines. Men equal to the task are few. Hence, tires built uniform both in mechanical and human operations must be limited in production.
 At first, Miller like other manu- lecturers, hesitated to put its builder to the test. But uniform mileage sought by all makers-must come and the problem was to rid the factory of these human variabies. Men stood or fell on their records When the final verdict came, we had crack squad whose average personal efficiency was 96 per cent. The tires they build are now 99 per cent excellent. Not more than one in hundred ever calls for adjustment.
 "These men have been given to un- derstand that if ever one comes back the responsible one is penalized. Each man knows that his idntifying mark goes on every tire he builds. He is as zealous to prevent one ever coming back as the dealer who sells Miller
  bulls is, and must be as good as his hest :,
