lHepuplican A. F. Leased WlreJ
 PARIS, July 15.-In the desper- ate fighting which is reported in the official communication from the War office tonight the Amer ican troops are given the credit for driving back the Germans who had succeeded in crossing the Marne southwest of Fossoy.
 In the long sector between Dor mans and Reims, Franco Italian troops are reported to be resisting the German assault vaiantIy and east of Reims the enemy attack has met what is characterized as ''an irreducibIe defense"
 The statement says:
 "The German attack this morn ing at 4:30 o'clock continued throughout the day on both sides of Reims with equal violence.
 West of Reims desperate en- agreements were fou~ht in the re- zion of Gully, Courthiezy and Vas sy, south of the Marne, which the enemy succeeded in crossing at several points between Fossoy and Dormans.
 "A spirited counter attack car red out by the American troops drove back on the right bank of the river enemy contingents who had reached that bank southwest of Fossoy.
 Between Dormans and Reims the Franco Italian troops resisted with tenacity along the line of CantiIon- sur Marne, Ouchery. Marfaux and BouilIy.
 East of Reims the enemy attack which extended from SilIery to the Main de Massiges hit up against an irreducible defense.
 Enemy multiplied his efforts on Prunay and Les Marquises and in the region north of Prosnes and Souain, but was not able, despite repeated attacks, to cut into our combat positions
 ''ln Albania our pursuit column in the DevoIi valley has gone be- yond Gramshi and reached the out : skirts of Checkini and Cruja, where 1t is in contact with the position organized by the Austrians. The number of our prisoners has been increased by about fifty. Our left has joined with the Italian right which occupies the heights of Gaia Darza."

TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire]

CAMP KEARNY, San Diego, Cal, July 15.-While the second group of about 1000 draft recruits was being received here today from Camp Lewis, American Lake, Washington, some men of former contingent of 5000 draft recruits from that camp were being trained for appointment as non- commissioned officers.

Crossing of Marne Only Slight Success

On the front west of Reims the Germans had rather more success, but the only important gain to their credit for the morning work the crossing of the Marne and a little more than mile beyond front of about ten miles, The Marne in this district is only small river: it is shallow and easily be crossed in the early ing msts It's loss to the ales however, deprves them of a fairly valuable defensive landmark

Use Greater Guns Than Ever Before

The battle began with wholesale bombardment ill., augurated about midnight along the whole front from Chateau Therry to Massages except for sector around Rems. This intensified bombardment of the French lines, with the usual accompaniment of trench mortars by the thousands also reinforced by long range bombardment of the back scale greater than heretofore attempted This back lombard ment systematically directed along the line of Cha lons Montmira and La FereSousJouarre, and the map shows that this line located from F to IS miles behind the French front This is evidence that long range guns of the most powerful and fareachng variety must have been used in numbers greater than before.

First Big Rush Fails to Bring Results

By mid-afternoon the entente military experts were actually feeling optimistic, although the danger was not yet over But it evident that the first big rush had failed to yield the Germans anything like the results which might have been expected One probably is that the attack this time had element of surprise for Gen era Foch knew of the German intention days advance and the French made their plans for it last week.
 Even in the main region where the Germans made their most important gain they have not reached the high ground south of the Marne which is strategcay very important
 In their previous attacks the Germans used one dvi- sion to each mile of front hence is estimated that they using at least sixty divisions the present operations which would mean between 100000 and SOOOOO men.

is difficult to get an idea of what is
going on in the heads of German Of
ficials who are taking part in this
elaborate piece of camoufiage. Con-
slider the one point of the new lin
itations" on a declaration Of war.
To read the dispatches from Ger
many 1t might be supposed that a
radical change had been made.
Formerly it is said, the kaiser de-
clared war; now war must be de-
cclared only with the consent of the
two houses of legislation, except in
certain cases.
All make believe. The change is
Of no significance. Under the ex-
listing constitution the emperor
shall declare war and conclude
peace. For a declaration
of war the consent of the federal
council (Bundersrath) shall be re-
quired, except in case Of an attack
upon the territory of the confedera-
ton" The exception has cut no
figure, however, since it was always
possible to announce that the en-
pire had been invaded. Thus, in the
present war, the French government
on mobilizing its army ordered 1T
withdrawn ten kilometers from the
frontiers so no claim Of aggression
could be set up by Germany. That
did not prevent the German govern
ment from proclaiming that its ter
ritory had been invaded.
The "democratization' Of the
constitution in this instance lies in
adding the Reichstag to the Bunder-
srath. But the old provision Of per-
mitting the kaiser to declare war on
his own responsibility in the event
of invasion is retained.
1t is absurd to call this revision
of language reform. 1t accom-
plishes nothing. 1t still leaves the
kaiser in control Of the army and the
arbiter of war and peace. How can
officials in Washington cite this, as
some OF them do. as evidence OF
change of heart on the part of the
German ruling classes?

The latter contained $50 triangular

The box of irrigation pads was
only one-fourth of an allotment now

Already a new allotment has been
received and the irrigation pads
must be completed at once so that

Won't you come and help make
these dressings for the wounded

ANGELS OF MERCY.

1t will never be hard to convince
people in the vicinity of Lancaster
that the Red Cross is an agency of
mercy, that it is the one bright star
among the clouds of distress and
suffering. The News does not know
the extent of the aid that has been
rendered by these faithful and tire
less women of the local Red Cross
during the present emergency. We
doubt if they know themselves.
With them it has been to go and go
and go wherever they were needed. l..
wherever the call of distress was
heard, and they have gone without
complaint, never firing, or never
h letting on if they did tire The call
has grown greater day by day and
these good women have never fall
tered in their efforts to render aid
in every place where aid was need
ed. Not alone 10 the soldiers in
France do these angels of mercy
minister, not alone to the families
of the soldiers who have gone over
seas, but to those in distress. any
where, everywhere.
In this city during the epidemic of
influenza, still among us. the doc
tors were overworked, and there
were but four. One of these was
stricken in the midst of the worst Of
the epidemic. and but for the relief
afforded by the women Of the Red
Cross the suffering. and perhaps the
number of deaths, would have been
multiplied many times. The value
OF the service rendered cannot be
estimated in dollars and cents. 1t is
the universal brotherhood of men -
so construed as to include the uni
yersal sisterhood of women" which
makes the world better and all man
kind akin. This is the spirit of the
women of the Red Cross in this city
and elsewhere, but in no place are
its ministrations nobler, more mum
erous or more appreciated than here
in Lancaster.
The News would not attempt to
give individual credit to these good
women, for right there is where we
would offend some, if not all of
them. 1t is not praise that prompts
them, not pay nor hope of reward
but love of humanity.
