HUN PROPAGANDA
Would Cast Suspicion on
Loyalty of Wives of
u. S. Soldiers.
UNCOVERED
IN NEW YORK
10y Leased Wire to New Mexican.)

(5y Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
New York, June 12.-Insidious Ger
man propaganda intended to under
mine the morale Of soldiers by cast
ing suspicion on the conduct of wives
left behind has been uncovered here.
Last Monday a well written letter pur-
porting to come from a soldier whose
wife, the letter said, had been lured
to marital ~disloyalty was received by
the clerk of the morals court.
1t was a dramatic story, we'll told.
1t was so well told, in fact, that sus-
picions were aroused and investiga-
ton showed no trace of the soldier"
supposed to have written 1t in the hos
pital, where worry over his wife's con-
duct had put him.
The writer declared that public SEN
timent must be aroused to deal with
men who, taking advantage of the
loneliness of wives of soldiers in the
national necessities lead them astray.
The practice, the writer said, was
widespread, and that SO many soldiers
had been betrayed that the morale of
much of the army was being under
mined.

Favorite Correspondent

Amsterdam, June 12.-In a letter to
the Berlin Lokal Anzeigei from the
battlefield on the Aisne, dated May
%, Karl Rosner, Emperor Williams
favorite correspondent, describes the
emperor as appearing in radiant
health, bronzed and bright-eyed, re-
ceiving a report from General Won
Boehm regarding the storming OF
French positions on the Aisne. After
wards, says the correspondent, the
emperor assembled to the old Camp
Des Romaines, from which he view
ed the panorama Of the battlefield
while seated at a rough deal table,
upon which were maps and a tele-
phone. Here he received news of
the passage of a German battalian
across the Aisne river, upon which
the correspondent quotes him as re-
marking:

After Three Days; BlOlU Struck
BefWccn AiSnc and Marine

Many COunter-AttackS
nv leased Wire to New MexIcan.l

German efforts to batter down the French defenses be-
tween Mont Didier and the Disc begun on Sunday, seem to
have been checked on the third day of the struggle. On the
western end Of the battle line the French have counter-attack-
ed and reganed important ground, while on the center and
right repeated efforts by the enemy to exploit his earlier sue
cesses have been met with STERN resistance from the French
who claim that the Germans are being held.
AT the moment when the plunge of the foe west of the Disc
appears to have met with a reverse the front to the southeast,
between the Aisne and Marine has again famed up. Striking
the allied line southwest of Scissors, in the neighborhood of
Dommieres Cuttrey and south of Amblemy, the Germans have
begun what may be a very serious threat to the security Of the
allies north to the Disc.
The new attack would seem, for the moment, to be almost
equal in Importance to that east of Mont.Didier. 1t appears to
be an effort on the part of the enemy to cut in south of Com
peigne Forest, outflanking the French to the north and com
pelling their retirement and a relocation Of the whole allied
line from Mont Didier to Chateau Thierry.
French Seriously Menaced
Except for the fact that heavy fighting is in progress nothing is known of
events n tisn e battle area, nut tn struggle there VIII D watched with
some concern until the magnitude Of the German thrust is developed.
The French still hold the left bank of the Disc, although they may have
readWsted their lines lin the northern sections of the Ourscamp and Canepont
Forests. Their positions there however, will become very awkward should
the Germans drive west of scissors and make considerable ground.
The success of French counter attacks along the western wing of the bat
tie line has forced the Germans into a sort of pocket bounded n the east by
the Disc river and on the west by the high ground lying west Of the Matz
squarely in front of this wedge, the French appear to be holding the foe for

Senator Underwood Of Alabama for
curtailing senate debate during the

President Wilson today gave an in
depreciation of his statement to con-
gress last January in favor of open
diplomacy" to quiet the senate con-
troversy over the proposal of SEN
ator Borah of Idaho for public con-
sideration of treaties. The president
made 1t known that his advocacy OF
open diplomacy was not in reference
to the senate legislative discussion of
treaties in which he recommends no
change, but meant the publication Of
treaties after their ratification.
The presidents views were given
in a letter to Secretary Lansing, a
copy of which was sent to Chairman
Hitchcock of the senate foreign rela-
tions committee. In his letter the
president explaining his statement In
his address of January 8 advocating
'open covenants of peace openly ar

DESIGNED TO CHEER
UP GERMAN PEOPLE

Washington, June 12.-Announce-
ment by the Prussian war minister
to the reichstag that the ~socalled
Foch reserve army no longer ex-
lists, is regarded by officials here as
designed to encourage the German
population. II, Won Stein intends to
convey the impression that the allied
reserve power has been exhausted
from the German assault, the actual
situation at the front stands as a flat
contradiction.
"His words, however, might mean
a wholly different thing, although de-
signed to be construed as the an
nouncement of a great victory. Be-
fore the German attack was made
the supreme war council at Yer
sailles had worked out a program for
limiting pooling of a mobile force OF
some 100000 men composed of 20O,-
900 French, 100000 British, 100000
Americans and 100000 Italians,
which was to have been employed
mainly to support offensive opera
lions on fronts selected by the Yer
sailles council.
1.-THE organization of this army
was never completed, however, the
emergency created by the German Of
fensive causing a wholly new pooling
agreement under which General Foch
became supreme commander. He now
directs the employment Of all active
as we'll as reserve armies. No army
now exists which could be called
the Foch reserve army because as
supreme commander that officer has
under him all Of the forces facing
the German onslaught"
The Prussian war minister's state
ment, however, admittedly touches
the very heart Of the problem facing
General Foch.
The fact that although an unceas-
ing attack since March 81, the allied
and American forces have not struck
back in anything approaching a ma
jor operation is regarded as concln-
sive proof that the supreme com
mander, backed by the supreme war
council, is striving by every means
in his power to stem the German
rush and exhaust its offensive power
