ABANDON Marine LINES
German Generals Say Their
Withdrawal Is "victory."
Also Declare Long Expected French
Counter Offensive Has Entirely
Miscarrled.

Amsterdam, July 22.-The German
supreme army command had several
aims in its attack on the southern
bank of the Marne, the crossing of
which river, it asserts, was unobserved
by the Allies, a semi-offlcial statement
here from Berlin soys.
The statement goes so far as to
claim that the German detectives have
been fully attained.
The first aims of the Marne crossing,
the statement says, were to broaden
the basis of attack for German blow
on both sides of Rheims and to attack
and hold strong enemy forces. Fur.
thermore, the attack on the southern
bank of the Marine, which was so men
acing for the Allies, the statement
adds, and which finally unlossed the
long expected French counter often
sive, has miscarried because q break
through has been prevented.
The message naively adds:
The task of the German troops
fighting on the southern bank Of the
Marine was thereby entirely fulfilled
and the further holding Of the lines
there was unnecessary. The German
command could now withdraw the
troops to the northern bank for fresh
important tasks"

War Department Head May Confer
Also With the ,lnter-Ailied

Washington, July 22.-Another in
spection trip Of the American and
Allied battle fronts in France will
soon be made by Secretary of War
Baker.
Included in this trip probably will be
meetings with the Inter-Allied war
council and with several of the diplo-
matte war representatives of the
Allied countries.
Accompanying Secretary Baker will
be Mr.. and Mrs. Schall, of Minneapolis.
The blind representative plans trip
to all Of the battle fronts and will visit
much OF the devasted region re-
captured from the Hun invaders.
During Mr.. Schall's tour he will visit
France, England and Italy.
No definite date has been set for
Secretary Bakers departure and it Is
probable disposal of numerous mat
ters now before the war department
will delay the voyage.

RESULT PLEASES
GENERAL MARCH
American Chief of Staff Says
Initiative Has Passed From
German Armies.
.F0CH STRATEGY WINS
French Commander Has Attained He
Objective In Cutting Railway Sup
plying Enemy Forces in Chateau
Thierry Region.

Washington, July 22.-The initiative
Allied armies, the high water mark OF
the German offensive movement In
France having been reached.
This is the lesson drawn by Ameri.
can military leaders from General
Foch's sudden counter attack on the
Aisne-Marne front, General March,
chief of staff, told members Of the
Senate Military committee.
Later he announced American troop
shipments had now exceeded 1900, 900
men, insuring the manpOwer to hold
the initiative on the Western front.
The direct objective of General
Foch's counter stroke, General March
told newspaper men in his weekly con-
ference, is the railway that feeds the
German forces in the Chateau Thierry
region. Already it has been attained,
for the French and American forces
are either astride the line at certain
points or have it under direct gunfire
at short range, rendering it unusuable.
Hear Of Retreat Over Marine.
Even as General March spoke re-
ports flashed over the cables telling
that the German withdrawal from the
sector south of the Marine had begun
under the onrush of General Mangin's
attacking army in the enemys rear.
The withdrawal was foreseen by Gen.
eral March when French and Ameri-
can shells began raining on the rail-
way.
The American chief of staff told,
with evident satisfaction, of the fact
that six American divisions are bat
thing with the French on the line of
Soissons-Chateau Thierry, and for the
first time revealed their identity.
The American troops engaged on
this front are the First, Second, Third
and Fourth regular divisions and the

HUN CRAFTY" SAYS A.
RICE TO PRESS CLUB
Must Build Planes of All Kinds
Urges Famed u. S. Filler.

Maj. Cushman A. Rice, the famous
American aviator, came into his own
last night at the Press Club where he
told much of what is being done In
the flying line on the Western front
Although plainly suffering from the
effects of the "gassing" he went
through at Amiens, and which has
affected his voice, he entertained his
spite of questioning, he refused to
perience, modestly preferring to tell
of the work Of other men.
He paid very high tribute to Col
Boiling who lost his life few months
ago and said his death was the great
est singular loss the American Army
had sustained in the war.
He also spoke of Maj. Stanley Dial
las, the noted English ace who was
recently killed, after having brought
down forty-nine enemy planes. He
said that the noted German aviator,
Baron Won Richtofen, who brought
down ninety-two planes before he met
his fate at the hands of a beginner
who was making his second fight,
was the greatest single figure the war
in the air had produced, and that all
of the allied aviatOrs respected him
as brave and fearless superaviatOr.
He paid tribute to the work of the
British women in the war-especially
in the organization known as the w.
A. A. c. He said it is very important
that the women as we'll as the men
who go to the front should be trained
to render valuable service.
Deplores Stories.
He deplored the fact that so many
Americans seemed to be of the opin-
ion that we had the Germans whipped
economically. He referred to stories
going the rounds of the press that the
German people were without shoes,
and branded it as false, because all
of the German prisoners captured re-
Gently have good footwear. With Ger
many controlling half of the oil out
put of the world, she will have fuel

1--WE are fighting a very dangerous
and crafty enemy, more dangerous
and crafty than is yet realized on
this side of the water. We must de.
feat her, and it must be done in fair
fighting, and we can not Overestimate
the Importance of the part the all
forces are to have in the war; he
said.
1--WE must build more planes of all
kinds scouts, fighters and bombing
and we must get to the point where
we can sacrifice men in sufficient num-
bers to break up the German forma-
lions, no matter on what scale they
may be planned. "-Washington Daily
Times.

Unusual Crops in N. D.


1.-THE crops in North Dakota are far

promise a harvest without parallel

who together with Anlrew Hedin
returned Wednesday from their dag
onal trip by car thru the Flickertail
state. They left Thursday of the week
previous and covered a distance of
about 1900 miles without accident.
They were enthusiastic about the un.
usual crops which they beheld spread.
ing out for miles in seemingly never
ending stretches. No small spots
here and there but large flourishing
tracts promising exceptional crops.
The best crops were seen near Bert
hold and Devils Lake. In this vicinity
they paid visit to Erick Falk, a
hearty old farmer and a former resi-
dent of our city and he said that un.
less something unforeseen occurs the
acreage yield this year will be be-
tween 10 and Is bushels. Rye is the
best grower thruout the state but
the other grains come close behind
North Dakota has received several
good showers lately and conditions
appear very encouraging.
