PEKING, August 9.-The French

to the appointment of a Chinese min

a French protectorate over the Cath

Is Now On Way To Switzer-

Washington, Sept. 18.-John w Davis

has been selected by President Wilson
as American ambassador to Great Brit
ain, it was officially announced today
Davis, who is now enroute to Berne,
Switzerland, to confer with German rep
resentatives on questions involving dis
position and exchange Of prisoners, is
one of the less widely known, but most
popular officials Of the government.
In many ways Davis position as I'm
tied States ambassador to Britain would
not be unlike that of Lord Reading,
British ambassador to the United sta
ties. Both men are legal minds of
great repute, Davis being recognized as
one Of the most abf solicitors general
the government ever had.
Both Davis and Reading are of the
so-called "liberal" element in world
politics and both are of charming per.
sonality.
In view of the delicate problems
which are. bound 10. come out Of the
war and the need for studiOus handling
of these situations between the United
States and. Great Britain, Davis selec-
tion carries with it the knowledge that
he is held in extremely high esteem by
President Wilson.
Many times he has been mentioned
for important cabinet posts but at the
time when his selection was deemed
likely. he was involved in important
government cases before the United
States supreme court. \
His selection for an ambassadorshiT
now would be timely, because the jus
tice department has decided to droI
trust prosecutions for the war period
and Davis duties as solicitor genera
have been lightened.

FRENCH LEND SUPPORT
By Lowell lrellett

With the British Armies in France,
Sept. 1S.-(Noon) British and French
troops swept forward in a simultane-
ous smash against the Hindenburg line
defenses centering about st. Quentin,
this morning.
The British attacked on front of
about IL miles, extending from Savy
wood (two and half miles directly
west of st. Quentin), northward to Pie
ziere az miles southwest of Cambria. {
AT the same time the French, sup
porting the British right flank, ad-
vaneed southwest of st. Quentin. De-
spite I. heavy rain, the attack was 60
ing well at the hour of cabling. The
attacks began at $50, following a
brief "crash bombardment.
The attack caught the Germans in
the midst of the new trench building
begun few days ago. A long tunnel
mad been partially constructed in the
middle of the portion of the line un-

The United States position, however,

there will not be peace until they are

FIGHTING IN BALKANS
WILL STOP BULGARIA
ASSISTING GERMANY
Is Warning To Bulgars Thai
They Must be Prepared to
Defend Themselves.
By J. w. T. Mason.

UNITED Press Staff COrrespondcnt.)
New York, Sept. 1S.-The French,
Serbian and Greek operations along the
Balkan front give promise of a major
offensive being conducted against Bull
garia next spring in strategic conform
ity with Interpretations which America
and the allies viii then start against
Germany in the west.
The present movement, itself in
Macedonia, can scarcely have been
planned to preserve for any length of
time into the winter season, which soon
begins in the Balkans. 1t would be
hazardous, if not impossible, to prolong
an offensive during the severe SHOWS of
mountainous southeastern Europe. A
Balkan offensive has always been asso-
ciated with the spring.
The purpose of the present drive is
doubtless to secure possession of local
points Of vantage for which spring
advance can SUCCESSFULLY be undertaken.
This, of course, implies the issuance
of notice to the Bulgarians that they
will be attacked next year. There is
good strategy in giving the notice,
Germany is desperately trying to per-
suade Bulgaria to send troops to the
West Front to help Won Hindenburg de-
fend German territory. The Bulgars
have been reluctant to agree, but there
have lately been some signs of waver-
ing at Sofia. Now, however, it would
positively be dangerous for the Bulgar-
ian government to permit any large
number of troops to go to the west
front If this were done Bulgaria S
own defensive position would be
weakened to an extent that would give
high encouragement to the allies to
strike for Sofia itself.
Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria, is a
timid monarch, who is out exclusively
for spoils. The chan ring conditions in
the war situation are, already reported
to have sent him to health resorts
where brken down nerves are treated.
The Bulgarian retreat along the Mace
donian front is certain to make Ferdin-
and still more timorous and to cause
him to think Of the safety of his own
throne before considering the plight of
the HohenzolleNs. This means the
kaiser will be unable to rely On serious
Bulgarian military support when the
Americans start for the Rhine.

held a splendid fulfllment of the
purpose of its organization. Profess
sor Gilbert Murray is now president
of the union in succession to Lord

sor in his report to the unon for 1917:
Americas entrance into the war has
put, as it were, in a concrete form, the
sort of unspoken aspiration that lies
at the back of the society. The rush
of catastrophe forces has brought
about a public alliance and a COM
radeship of the battlefield which
seemed beyond the range of remote
probability few years ago. But still
the Atlantic Union has great work to
do: the humble and personal work of
giving that kindly individual welcome
which shall make Australians, Cana
dians, New Zealanders, South Africans,
and all from overseas feel that the
Mother Country is also a country of
friends. A great work, and, moreover,
one in which the average man can
