all the enemy troops within the neaF
future appear TO bear out the states
ment that the enemy is about to att
tack.
It may be said that there are three
logical points for enemy's attack
the Chateau-Thierry region, the line
north OF Chalons, and in the neighbor@
hood OF Asheville. In the FLANDERS sec<
tor. An assault north OF Chalone on
against Abbeville would be less costly
for him, but In the former he would
get less important territory than be-
fore Abbeville. whore his loss would
be heavier.

ing the coming offensive will have be-
tween thirty and forty divisions capa-
BILE of participating In the attack

CzeCho- -SIovaks as Reserves

WASHINGTON, July S-An army
of trade and business experts, support
ed by seizable police force of inter-
allied troops will be sent to Russia to
aid in establishing order.
The United Press today, seeking to
clear up considerable confusion as to
the allied cause toward Russia, Is able
to state semi mi-officially that the above
program has been definitely determin-
ed upon and will be put into effect
very soon.
There will be no military interven-
tion" now.
Negotiations are under way be-
tween the Allied powers to determine
the best and quickest means of as
sembling the needed troops. 1t is not
possible to use the Czecho- -6lavolz
troops now in Vladivostok as q nucleus
for the force because in their Siberian
fighting they have become "combatlve
troops" in the eyes of some Russian
factions. The police" forces must he
solely protective, it Is stated. Moboli-
zation of this police force is the cole
problem holding up the Russian plan
now.
Since a larger appropriation may be
necessary to finance the expedition, 1t
is likely President Wilson will appear
before Congress to outline his proposal
and his needs.
The Russian project is one o: the
most unique and comprehensive ever
staged in the history of the world.
Financial experts. together with busl-
ness, agriculture and trade authorities
will go to Vladivostok and move slow
ly westward. They will aid IN re-es-
tablishing credit, except in troop
movements, seek to encourage conf
dence of the Russians with each other,
aid In hllitntnR franGnnrfO tim IN
cilities-in short do everything In their
power to start things moving" in
Russia.
The outgrowth of this movement II
is confidently believed will be a spon-
taneous and enthusiastic rallying to
the banner OF the inter-allied army
OF business"
achievement will be heralded through
out Russia. It's unselfish purpose and,
above all, its non-combatlve disposi-
ton is expected TO convince all fac
tions that the Allied nations are bent
solely upon aid-and nothing else.
President Wilson is understood to
have staked much on this unparal-
leled venture. 1t will be put into ef-
feet with every precaution necessary
taken to insure its success. Adequate
means will be provided for protecting
the business army" and its consort
of inter-allied troops.
These are the details that are being
worked out now. The Czecho-S Slovak
army at Vladivostok becomes auto
matically, through the plan, an
emergency army held In reserve
not as n threat but as a protection.
Precautions will be taken 20 see TO
It that shipment OF supplies for Rus
sia do not get into the hands of Ger
mans. These precautions, Incident
ally, include necessary augmenting of
the forces along the Thurman coast
now threatened by the Germans.
Above is the definite program to-
day. Future Developments in Russia
will determine how this program will
be modified.

Senator Smith OF South Carolina,

"As war measure I favor speedy

Only In that way can we prevent Ger
