tions," he said, (which will give a victory worth having. No peace that satisfies Germany can ever satisfy us. It cannot be negotiated peace It must be a dictated peace and we and our allies must dictate it."
 Germany undoubtedly will attempt a strong peace drive when she feels victory is slipping from her grasp, Senator Lodge asserted in solemnly giving warning against the least yielding until Germany is "beaten to her knees," and such peace enforced by dictation that will remove her for ever as a possible disturber of the worlds peace.
 "The Germans, repulsed and los ing" said Senator Lodge, twill un- dcubtedly resort to their other weap- on, which they have used more than once during this war with terrible effect. With this weapon they have succeeded in disorganizing Russia. It is the German propaganda which we shall be obliged to face in the ensu- ing months, and it, therefore, seems to me important to know exactly what we mean by peace. Generalities will not serve. It must be, it is commonly said-we have all said it-a just and righteous peace.

IUNS FACE DECISIVE DEFEAT ON ARRAS S0SS0NS LINE
Deferment of Youths Voted
 Down by House 167 to 12O
Advocates of Restrictions Calling IS to l9 Year Old Men Lose First Fight nd Way Is Paved to
 Passage of Bill Tomorrow

Washington, Aug. Champions or the House Military Committees plan to direct the War Department to defer calling of youths of IS and 19 years until older men have joined the colors, under the manpower bill ex- tending draft age limits to Is and 45 years, lost their initial fight in the House late today and the way was paved for the passage of the bill by the House tomorrow.
 ~ In the Senate disposal of minor amendments caused leaders to hope that the measure could be passed there also before the weekend ad- journment tomorrow.
 At the close of day of vigorous debate the House rejected, 167 to 12O, the amendment of Representative Mckenzie of Illinois, written into the bill by the Military Committee, directing separate classification and delayed call of youths from IS to 2O

Senator Lodge Warns Against
 ''POiSOnOuS''EIun Peace Drive
Declares Peace Must Be Dictated To and Not Negotiated With Central Powers-Poles and Slavs Must
 Be Free-Would Not Let Turks Quit.

Washington, Aug. 23.-An earnest warning against "insidious and pois- onous" German peace propaganda and a declaration that peace must be dictated to and not negotiated with Germany to place her in a position where she never again can disturb the worlds peace, were made. in the Sen ate today by Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts, ranking Republican of the Foreign Relations Committee.
 Peace terms which must and will be forced on Germany were specifi- cally detailed by Senator Lodge in ad- dressing the Senate in support of the manpower bill to extend the army draft ages. They included complete restoration of Belgium, unconditional return of Alsace-Lorraine to France and of Italia Irredenta to Italy, safety for Greece, independence for Serbia and Rumania, an independent Poland, independence of the Slav peoples and freedom of Russia from German domi- nation, including return of Russian territory wrested by Germany in the Brest-Litovsk treaty.
 Furthermore, Senator Lodge de- clared, Constantinople must be made a free port and Palestine never re- stored to Turkish rule.
 Must Dictate Peace to Germans.

BIGGEST VICTORY
 FOR THE ALLIES
 IS NEAR AT HAND
U. s. Experts Believe Ger. mans Will Meet De-
 cisive Defeat.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Almost un- varying success described in today's dispatches telling of the great allied offensive on the 50 mile front stretch ing from Soissons northward to the environs of Arras raised hopes in military circles here for the most de- cisive defeat yet administered to the Germans.
 Observers were of the opinion that General Foch's whiting tactics of the past six weeks have been so eff fective that opportunity has come for a glorious harvest
 Absence of any mention of Ameri- can troops in the descriptions of the great fight led to interested speculo- tion as to the whereabouts of Gen. eral Pershing's 30 divisions which, ac- cOrding to recent announcement, are to be included in the first American field army.
 Americans May be in It. That practically all of these units have icOmplated their draining for which they were |brigaded with the French and British have been known for some time.
 F It has been thought. however that considerable number of American troops still are with the British third and fourth armies and most military officers were at loss to understand why they had not been identified in the capture of some of the important enemy positions Overrun during the day.
 Evidence of the mettle of Pershing's forces made it certain, 1t was believed that if American divisions were with the allied troops, their locality to- night would be at the apex of the advance.
 The most interesting theory heard was that the movement of American divisions to the sector assigned to the first American army is under way, all the divisions heretofore with the British having been withdrawn for that purpose and replaced by new units or reorganized veteran organiza- tiOns brought up from rest billets.
 American May Strike.
 Concentration at this time of the United States divisions on the all- American front when the forward movement of the more northern ar- mics promises so much could only mean that General Foch has assign ed to Pershing some important task closely linked with the major strategy in the opinion of experts here
 This may be in the nature of thrust in force to prevent the detach- ment of reserve to stop the gap in Picardy. or a far reaching drive on the German flank as soon as he has got such . movement well under way.

imum at 19 and 21 years, respective ly also were defeated.
 Marines Used as Evidence.
 Dramatic touches were given the debate in the House by Representa- tive Tilson of Connecticut, who, amid cheers, called upon four marines in the galleries to stand in evidence that youths of IS made excellent soldiers.
 This was after Representative John son of Washington had presented a small 1S-year-old page in q soldiers coat and trench helmet to support his claim that 18-year-olds are mere children.
 Representative Olney of Massa- chusetts aroused the spiritism of the House members during the debate by declaring British and French off cers cOnseded that it was the Ameri- can marines who, at Chateau Thierry, stopped the German rush in July and saved Paris.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Germans brought up large numbers of fresh reinforcement in an endeav0r to stay the progress of Haig's armies their efforts were without avail.
 Where they were able momentarily to hold back their oncoming foes, the tn ground demanded. And they paid terrible price in men killed, wounded or made prisoner for their temerity.

 The entire Arras-Albert road has been crossed by the British. The strongly held positions where the Ger. mans saw disaster facing them if they fell were stormed and captured and the British passed them going east ward.
