Men Actually on Fighting
Line, July I, March Says

United States in the war, General
March had nothing to announce
except that the first million men,
having been embarked for France,
movement Of the second million is
being pressed.
The situation along the western
front, he said, has developed into
continual "nibbling" by allied forces
with complete success being OBJ
tanned. The most important Of these
minor raids, from the American
standpoint, was the attack on Vaux
on July 1.
The attack on Vaux was carried
out by the ninth and twenty third
infantry, supported by the 18th, 18th
and 18th field artillery. all Of the
second division, under command Of
Major General Omar Bundy. The
success attained there has been COM
pletely consolidated, subsequent
counter attacks by the Germans
failing to cause the slightest with
drawal from the occupied territory.
On the Italian front, the general
said, the situation has come down to
the complete occupation by the ItaI-
ians Of the southern bank of the
Piave river, except for one very
small sector. The point still held
by the Austrians is three and one
half by one and one-half miles,
while the general Italian advance
was over a nine mile front.

Washington, July 6.-American
troops actually on the fighting front
in Europe about July 1, numbered
$4,000, according to information
given today by General March, chief
Of staff, and other members of the
war council, at their weekly con-
ference with members OF the SEM
ate military committee.
This was the high water mark for

but of the million odd American SOL

substantial portion, It was stated,
soon will be trained enough to in
sure a steady increase.
Shipments of American troops are
expected during the next few months
to be somewhat less than during the
recent three months period. Among
the reasons given were the doubt OF
ability to retain bottoms recently Sc
cured from the allies, and that a
large part of the troops given pre-
liminary seasoning in this country
have been sent over.

Heron Exposes
Peace Offensive

Geneva May 80.-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press)-Rhpre-
sentattves of the Entente nations
here have been cheered by evidence
that American statesmen apparently
see clearly that Germany's victories
have not been primarily military;
but have been largely due to an I'M
foreground propaganda, preparing
the way for military advance and
making it relatively easy.
They point out that each German
military offensive has been accom-
panied by a peace Offensive pre-
pared with the same scientific pre-
ctsion and care as the movement on
the ghting front. When the pres
ent offensive in France was well
begun Switzerland suddenly swarm
ed with peace emissaries Of the Ger
man government, seeking channels
for negotiated peace. plotting ways
to undermine the faith and loyalty
Of the Allies and especially the NOR
al and military preparation OF
America.
In Switzerland some Of this peace
offensive has been borne by Profess
sor George D. Heron. Notwith-
Summing ETOLSSSOQ E1STTOu'S repeat
ed insistence that he had no man
date to represent any government
or anybody, that German Foreign
ONCE could not believe 1t.
The Associated Press correspon-
dent Is informed that DR.. De Jong
van Beck en- Donk, a Dutch pactfist,
had made repeated efforts here to
forward q message to Colonel e. NJ.
House, President Wilson's friend and
reputsd adviser. The Dutch pacifst
either represents or pretended to
represent DR.. Solf, the German Col
onial Minister, who met Colonel
House in Germany before America
entered the war. Professor Heron
declined to transmit the message.
When the last peace offensive be-
gan, Mr.. Heron notified friends in all
the Allied countries and then the
Swiss press, and in a conference in
Geneva, exposed the whole German
campaign.
And now Germany. not content
with being at war with America, Is
making war upon the American. Mr..
Heron is violently assailed in the
German press, and in the neutral
press under German control. 1t is
asserted that Switzerland Is the
theater of a vast American conspir-
acy against Germany, and that the
threads Of this conspiracy are in
Professor Herron's hands.
Meanwhile Professor Heron con-
tinues to fight the German propa-
ganda,

ANERIC FLIES
200 NILES FROM
JASSY TO ODESSA
ANDBRINGSPEACE
Story Of Bolshevik-Ruma
ian Settlement Unique
In.War Annals
CBy Associated Press.9

London, July 6.-An Americans
flight by airplane 200 miles from
Jassy TO Odessa was the means Of
bringing about peace between the
Bolshevild and the Rumanians last
March.
The American ''peace dove" as
the Rlmanians called him after his
daring flight was Colonel Joseph
Boyle. Colonel Boyle, who was
formerly In the Canadian army on
the west front, was sent to Russia
as the representative Of the COM
mittee of the American Engineers
In London and spent several months
in Rumania and South Russia. The
story OF his secret airplane trip is
now told for the first time.
Colonel Boyle was one of the few
foreigners in Russia who had the
confidence and close friendship Of
the extremist Russian parties from
the beginning Of the revolutionary
period. He was known among the

Bolshevild as a man of action, hon
est and fearless and anxious to ex-
tend them a helping hand In every
work Of reconstruction. On his
journeyings around Russia he was
never interfered with or challenged.
He carried personal letters and
credentials from Lenine, TrotZky
and a. host OF lesser leaders and
could obtain almost anything he
wanted from the local or provincial
Sovtets. He was accompanied every
where by a staff Of three Russian
officers who spoke English fluently
and who displayed great personal
loyalty to Colonel Boyle.
Situation Serious.
During the latter part Of Febru-
airy the situation between the Boil
shevilci and Rumanians became
very serious. War had even been
declared on Rumania by the Bolshe-
viz. government, owing to nisunder-
standings about the status OF GER
tain Russian troops in Rumania
territory and Rumanian troops in
Active hostilities, how
ever, had been generally avoided,
anxious to reach an amicable I'M
der'standing.
But communication between Odes-
sa and Jassy was in a state OF dis
which made the tele-
graphs and the mails useless. Ev-
cry attempt at negotiation between
the Rtumantans at Jassy and the
Bolshevilxi at Odessa was blocked
or brought to naught by intriguers
or mischief-makers. 1t began to
look as If things were going to drift
straight into bloodshed on a large
scale.
It was at this point that Colonel
Boyle, who had been, trying to al
leviate the food shortage in Ru-
MANIA arranged a meeting of unof-
fetal representatives of both sides
on the Rumanian frontier and sue
ceeded in putting through an agree
nent between these representatives.
The RunBanian government was,

ready to approve the decision Of
how was formal confirmation or
even favorable consideration, to be
obtained from the Bolshevik side?
The BoIshevtk delegates" were
without credentials or authority,
but they felt If their case were
properly put before the authorities
in Odessa their course Of action
would be approved. Travel between
Jassy and Odessa had been impos-
sible for several weeks owing to the
tearing up Of the railway line in
Bendert and the wTecldng Of sew
eral bridges and trestles.
Boyle Volunteers.
Colonel Boyle volunteered to be
the bearer Of the olive branch, to
carry tho peace proposals to Odessa
with the least possible delay by
means OF an airplane which he had
already persuaded the Rumanian
authorities to put at his disposal,
and he proposed also to use his own
personal Influence with the Bolshe-
vik leaders in Odessa to secure their
approval. -
Speedy action was necessary, for
it was known that orders had al
ready been given to the Bolshevil1
troops to begin hostltties on a. large
scale, and it was felt that once SER
ious fighting had begun, the chances
of an anicable adjustment would be
much diminished.
Tho necessary papers were hastily
prepared and signed, and Colonel
Boyle motored to an airdrome near
assy where a. Rumanian pilot was
waiting. The weather on the day
Of Colonel Boyles departure was
stormy and threatening, and several
aviation experts advised him to
postpone his Journey. He declined
to be dissuaded and left Ja.ssy about
noon, arriving safely at Odessa
shortly before sunset.
The flight was made at q height
OF about 5000 feet across a rough
mountainous country and IN the
face of a driving sleet storm. The
machine twice developed engine
trouble, but this was overcome and
g. landing was made In an open field
not far from the water front at
Odessa. By midnight Colonel Boyle
had secured the signing OF the peace
treaty and the cancellation Of the
orders for q Bolshevik offensive
against Rumania.
