When ever this matter can be adjusted so that ne can do so, he intends to return to Washington, D. C., to report to the war department.
 Captain Wheeler is quoted as saying his pride would not allow him to re- main in France with the apparent de- sign of avoiding service of the war rants and civil papers.
 Shortly before his departure from his station in France he applied for a transfer from the aviation service to infantry under the belief that there was more chance of coming in contact with the enemy. A few hours before he left for the port from which he sailed he received telegram notifying him that General Pershing had grant cd his request.
 Captain Wheeler said the morale of inc American soldiers in France hardly could be higher and he took occasion to deny with considerable yehemence the stories in circulation in this sec tion of the country, about immortality among American troops.
 Captain Wheeler is expected to visit Bisbee Friday.

 { LONDON, Aug. 1.-There are indi- cations that the situation has changed in the last three weeks in northern Russia and that the Germans shortly will begin an offensive against the southern part of the Murman railway. The Finnish population now IS in tensely hostile to the Germans. There is great shortage of food and the people are entirely dependent on the entente. Both the government and the army. however. are com mpletely under German control.
 The Germans have induced the bol- shevik government to agree to the ces- sion of the whole of the Murman coast to Finland, notwithstanding the desire of the inhabitants to remain Russian. The Finnish army capable or under taking an offensive probably does not exceed 30,000 men.
 Peasant Rising Serious Menace In the Ukraine the peasant rising has assumed large proportions and ap- parently seriously menaces tne Ser man and. Austrian communications. The peasants are destroying the rail roads and have blown up the bridge southeast of Kiev.
 In the Caucasus there is great fric- tion between the Germans ana Turks. The Germans are trying to prevent the Turks from occupying Baku, on which Turkish attack appears to be lmml- nent Baku probably will fall. There is evidence of growing dis couragement in Bulgaria which Is said to be due chiefly to the exploitations of the Bulgarians by the Germans.

Special to The Republican,
 TUCSON, ARIZ., Aug. 1-Aman- da Courtesy, age 20, is held by the department of justice at immiara- ton detention quarters here on a charge of perjury in connection with the white slave case of the government against Frank Whit in which she was formerly prescott ing witness, attempted suicide this morning by swallowing 24 bich- loride of mercury tablets. Inspect or Burnett rushed her to a hospital where quick work will save her life.
 She figured prominently in the case and her reversal of testimony acquitted Whit. It was charged by the government at the time that Whit's attorney, Thos. B. Hart of Bsbee had a system of signals to use when she was testifying. Hart was later found dead and suicide or murder theory was never estab- Iished.
 1t is known that Hart knew the department of justice was informed as to his coaching of the witness and it is believed that rather than face disbarment he ended his life.
 Whit is now out on $2,O00 bail charged with influencing a govern ment witness.

GERMAN HORDE CANNOT CHECK ONWARDMARCH
 IF AMERICANS
U. $. Troops Push Lines
 Forward at Several Points In Spite of the Fierce Resistance of the Huns

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE AISNE- MARINE FRONT, Aug. 1. -tBy The Associated Press, P. M The American troops pushed forward their lines at certain points Thursday on the center of the Reims- Soissons salient, notwithstanding the resistance of the Germans, who did not give ground on some sectors until they ac- iually had been shot from their po- sitions.
 The Germans are desperately cling ing to their strongholds at Nesles and in the Bois Meuniere, northeast of Roncheres, but the Americans have gained a hold on the northern edge of the Meuniere wood. The Nesles forest Is under the range of the American heavy guns.
 Rushing Up Reinforcements
 Aviators report that the Germans are rushing up endorsements, including tanks. The enemys heavy guns are pounding the Nesles and Meuniere woods unmercifully
 Observers and prisoners who had been brought behind the lines pre- viously reported the forests as having been damned with German troops and also with large quantities of supplies. The German losses in men therefore must have been very great as the heavy guns started smelling the woods several days ago.
 Blast Way Through Wire
 The allied troops continued today to encounter barbed wires. Between Ser inges and Sergy, there were woven fields of wire entanglements. At creek crossings and in the valleys the Ger man machine gunners held their com msnding positions until the heavy guns of the French and Americans blasted a way through the wire and busted the enemy from his positions. Some of the enemy machine gunners stuck to their posts under terrific fire till they were killed
 Wrest Hill From Germans
 The American heavy artillery com mands the village of Chamery, north east of Sergy. the Americans having wrested the hill beyond the last named village from the Germans in a battle lasting for hours. The lines swayed back and forth many times but the Americans eventually pushed the Ger mans back. This fighting was in the open and the American infantrymen showed great courage.
 Save Wheat During Battle
 To the north of Cierges, the Ameri- cans also advanced their line. The fight began early Thursday for the possession of a farm from which the Americans swept away the Germans North of Sergy the Americans crossed wheat fields that had been planted by French peasants, the crop of which had been partially garnered by the Ger mans. What remained of the wheat was recovered by the Americans.
 There was much aerial activity throughout Thursday. The Germans sent out large numbers of aviators who appeared to be determined to protect ihe forests from the allied airrnen There were numerous battles in tho air.

ENEMY'S EFFORTS TO STOP ADVANCE
 OF SAMMIES- FAIL
Germany's Best Endeavors
 Not Sufficient for Self
 Imposed Task. Again on Retreat on Aisne-Marne
Republican A. p. Leased Wjre1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Ger man armies apparently are again on the retreat in the AiSne- Marne salient. The American thrust in the center of the line at Seringes already has given results. The Paris statement tonight showed that the allied forces had leaped forward on the German Hanks on both sides, indicating to observers here that the withdrawal to the Vesle was in full swing.
 Americans Outfought Germans
 This has been expected by officers here since the American division out fought crack German divisions in ter rible conflicts which began Saturday. The enemy made every effort to hurl the Americans back across the Ourcq but he failed. His picked troops fought to the death, reports from all sides in dicate, but the fierce attack of the Americans was not to be denied and the positions which broke the back of the German line on this front were consolidated.
 GaIantry of Allies
 With magnificent gallantry, British and French forces took full advantage of the situation. The enemy were hurled off Chalmont- Butte in a dash ing assault by Franco British units and to the east the French also hammered him. Tonights report shows his line was made untenable and French and British have made rapid progress in exploiting the success.
 The fact that 600 prisoners were taken in one part of the action indi- cated the retreat was more precipitate than it had been for the last few days. This was viewed as further evi- dence that the enemy was withdraw ing under pressure and gave new hopes that his lines along the Vesle would not be fully prepared when the allies arrived before them.
 Serves Great Purpose
 Aside from the gains in territory made in the allied counter drive, off cers believe it has already served its great purpose in proving to the Ger man army that it is not invncble. His best troops have been thrown in reck- lessly and fought with utter heroisn without avail.
 It is a new lesson for the German army. many officers say. There is nc thought that it will sap the morale of the enemy force. but Altering back through the fighting men to the people at home will go a new conception, it is said-a feeling that Germanys best l: not sufficient for the task it has sci itself.

, Artcraft's release Of the latest
Douglas Fairbanks production, "A
Modern Musketeer," marks the reu-
nion Of Allen Dwan, as a director,
with the famous star. Dwan former
]y directed Fairbanks when both
were with another company. He has
an enviable reputation in film cir
cles as a producer, is college bred
and an athlete. Mr.. Dwan alternates
with John Emerson in directing the
acrobatic star, and while one picture
is being filmed by one the other is
preparing the scenario for the play
to follow. :.
"A Modern Musketeer" tells the
story of Ned Tucker, who has the spi-
rit of D'Artagnan, and whose Chi
valry is not understood by the pres
ent generation. Like the Dumas he
70, he manages to get into immune
rable scrapes, some humorous and
others sensational. It will be shown
at the Opera House on Saturday.
