Whether as a result of weariness after two weeks of incessant fighting, or because of the greatly increased strength in man power and positions of the enemy forces before them, the allied armies on the Soissons- Rheims front have noticeably decreased their efforts to clear the salient of Ger mans.
 1T the pause in the offensive is at .ributahle to wearinesS, the armies of the German crown prince also must be worn out by the pressure they have been under for the fortnight, for. not v-tthstandinS the fact that huge rein forcemeuts were sent to them in their hour Of dire peril, they have lacked the hard ness to endeavor to throw hack their antagonists and recoup their losses.
 The fourteenth day of the great al lied offensive which has resulted in driving back the Germans from the Marne region northward across the Ourca river and in materially bending in the eastern and western side of ,he great pocket with it's mouth run ninE cross country thirty-six miles from Soissons 10 Rheims, saw little activity on the part of either of the contendinE forces-eXcept in the na- ture of reciprocal bombardments.
 Tuesday night witnessed violent at .empts by the Germans to expel the Arnericars and French from the valu- able positions they hold north of the lu-cr in the region of Fere en Tar deno.s. and along the western side of .he salient near 0ulchy Ia Chateau, where Scottish troops are holding with the French the wedge that has been

driven eastward into the enemy line. These efforts were entirely fruitless.
 A watchful eye is being kept by the Germans on the Americans standing at the apex of the battle line near Fere en Tardenois and the enemy guns are shoWering their positions with great quantities of high explo- sives and gas shells. The enemy also continues iealously to guard with huge effectives the extreme eastern and western Hanks of the salient to ward off possible surprise attacks.
 The latest Berlin official communi- cation asserts that more than 4,000 prisoners have been taken by the Germans in the past few days and that since July Is in excess of 24,000 allied troops have been captured.
 Great fires behind the German lines indicate the destruction of further will lages which it is intended to evacuate battle line.
 With the approach of the com mencement of the fifth year of the war the German emperor evidently real izes the seriousness of the situation. In a proclamation to his army and navy he tells his men they are facing the hardest struggle of the war but that they will be able to foil the desperate efforts of the enemy"
 What may result in aggravating the already serious situation between the Germans and the Ukrainians is the assassination of Field Marshal Won Eichhorn. the German 6sctator in the Ukraine. and his adjutant They were killed by the explosion of a bomt thrown by a native in Kiev.

ANOTHER PEACE LETTER
 BY MARQUIS OF LANsDoWNE
Read at Conference of His Support
 CTS in London Yesterday,

London, July 31.-Another letter on peace prospects. written by the Mar quis of Lansdowne, was read at conference of his supporters today. This latest utterance proposes no new policy: it consists largely of criticism of the allies for their failure to state their wal aims more specifically and urges them to take advantage of any opportunity for a discussion of terms.
 The chief importance of Lord Lans downe's letter is that he is the only British statesman of first rank who is listed in his own country and abroad, whether correctly or otherwise. as a pacifist, and his words will be given the greatest publicity in the countries of the central powers, where it is insisted they represent a power ful portion of British thought.
 Earl Beauchamp presided over the conference, and Baron Buckmaster, former lord chancellor, and a few pacifist members of the lords and commons attended. A sympathetic letter from Arthur Henderson, the la bor leader in the house of commons, was read.
 The new Lansdowne letter has been cles. The general parliamentary Opin- ion is said to ne well summarized in the comment of one member of the house of commons: "The letter is sim | ply an elongation of Lansdowne's pre- vious announcement. but it is an ! elongatior leading nowhere"
