NO DEMAND BY AMERICA
ON BRITISH MAN POWER

LONDON, August 5.-The attention
OF the ministry Of information has been
called to a rumor that the fresh calling
up Of farm laborers for military service
Is due to pressure from the United
States government. and it has been fur
ther rumored that the United States in
sisted that every able-bodied man under
the age of forty-six years in Great Brit
ain should be called up for the army.
Additional weight had been given to
these rumors by the suggestion that
Prime Minister Lloyd George when he
said in a recent speech, I'VE must live
up to our contract with America" was
alluding to secret understanding of
this nature between the American and
British governments.
'-The ministry Of information is able
to state with authority that there is no
truth whatever in these reports" saws
Reuters, Limited. THE United States
has made no claim in respect to British
man power, as has been suggested.
when Mr.. Lloyd George referred to
our contract with America he had in
mind the moral obligation of Great Brit
ain not 10 relax her efforts owing to the
entry Of the United States into the war.
America declared war to defeat the
menace to civilization and to the ideals
which both Americans and Britons have
out their full efforts to this end in com.
plete cooperation, but with no interfer-
ence in each others internal arrange
ments"

PARIS SHELLING CAUSES
RAGE, BUT NOT TERROR

PARIS. August 6.-The German long
range bombardment of Paris was con-
tinued today.
PARIS. Monday. August 5.-Con-
temptuous smiles and jocular remarks
greeted the first explosion of the Ger
man long-range shell in the Paris re-
gion today. because resumption of
the bombardment was exactly what
the population expected the Germans
to do. Despite the inclement weather
scores of persons sat indifrerently or
the terrace and at their cafes salutine
each she'll with caustic comments.
Expressions of rage and hope OF re-
venge soon were heard, however, when
1t became known that somewhere in
the vicinity of Paris women and chill
dren had been murdered wantonIy by
the German shell.
Every one of those shots will cost
Fritzie great pain." said q brawny
American soldier. That is the feeling
of the entire population. Renewal
of the bombardment has further
strengthened the resolution of Paris
to see that the war is carried on until
German militarism has fallen.
The bombardment of the city and
its cnvirons was desultory throughout
the day. The revival of the lonE-ranee
attack, however. proved a failure as
a means of terrorizing. The consensus
OF opinion among the populace and the
newspapers is that the bombardmenf
was being carried out for political ef
feet in Germany.

Dear Minister-President:
Permit me, in reply to your mes

Vienna Paper Takes Gloomy
View of Hun Defeat on
West Front.

That man power win be the de-
termining factor in the war ana tnae
1t is incontestable that the numerical
superiority of the entente Is increas-
ing daily, are two admissions puohciy
made in Austria which nave caoeeu
great despondency throughout .he
empire. according to advices reacnins
Washington today through offclai
channels. The admissions are maze
in the Arbeiter Zeitung OF VIENNA
which states that the French aho
allied victory on the west 'front.' mas
visibiy produced profound impress
sion among the people.
"Gives One Cause to Think"
The assaults of the allies against
our new front have in no way dinlih
ished in intensity. That is iece
which gives one cause to thlnk. win
adversaries like the Russians the
technical superiority of the Germans
was such that the numerical SIpefi-
ority of the Russians was OF no I'M
portance On the west the situation
is quite different. Do not let US 1or-
get that the French and the Anglo
Saxons are side by side with the Ger
mans the most civilized peoples in the
world, and that they are in position
to turn all modern technical inVen-
tions to their own profit.
ION the other hand let us take into
consideration the invincibie spirit
which animateS the French soldier,
the tradition of victory and glory
which only these last few years Ger
man history has somewhat tarnished-
ability of America" Considered.
This spirit of the French army.
united with the powerful organizing
ability of America, gives q value to
the armies of the entente at the
verT least equal to that of Germany.
One must therefore admit that in the
west these factors which military and
technical value represent do not from
henceforth play any role. Those are
advantages which have become neu-
tralized. 1t therefore results in con-
tradiction to what happened on the
eastern front, that the decisive factor
In this war will be man power. Now
1t is incontestable that the numerical
superiority of the entente is increas-
ing every day. That is formal
avowal of the inevitable defeat which
is awaiting the central powers"
