tive of German retreat as far
north as the Vesle river. The line
Of the Ourcq has been virtually rem

and Americans are known to have
reached the western bank of the
Crise river.
Huns SheIled in Retreat
Allied pressure on the Reims-
scissors salient maintains its prog
ress against the Germans, who also
are being hampered in their prep
arations for an eventual retirement
by hurricanes of shells from allied
guns and hundreds of bombs
dropped by allied airmen.
Stubborn as is the resistance OF
the Germans at vital points, espe-
cially from the Ourcq along the
Marne to the Ardre the French.
American and British continue 10
advance. Heavy artillery fire and
hundreds of machine guns form the
backbone OF the German defense.
This has tended to slow I'D the al
lies, but has not stopped their prog

astride the Ourcq, the French have
moved forward another kilometre

Wire Control
System Being
Put intOShape

Washington, July 24.-Plans for
the operation of the telephone and
telegraph systems Of the country.
control of which was taken over by
the government yesterday, were
being worked out today by Post
master General BurleSOn and the
committee named to assist him The
postmaster general will act as
chairman of the committee, the
other members being John c.
Rooms, first assistant postmaster
general; William H. Lamar, so
licitor of the postoffice department
and David J. Lewis, former con-
gressman from Maryland and now
d member of the tariff commission.
Government operation of the wire
systems will be on a basis of the
least possible interference with the
interests and needs of the govern
ment, Mr.. BurIeson has announced.
Few changes are to be made i'm
mediately, it was stated today. First
steps will be designed to eliminate
the duplication of effort but no
changes which would in any way
detract from the efficiency of the
systems will be made.
Whether further legislation by
congress will be necessary to sup
plement the resolution under which
President Wilson acted, was dis
cussed today by members of con-
gress. Chairman Smith of the in
terstate commerce committee be
lieves further legislation may be de-
sirable TO create an agency for ad
ministering the wires similar to
that for railroad control. Other SEN
ators, however, believe no further
action by congress is necessary un-
less deficit under government op-
Grafton should necessitate an ap-
preparation from the public funds.

The suggestions are:

Inc suggestions are:
First wants no annex
ations or indemnities n the west.
Second-The peace treaties with
Russia and Rumania may not be
questioned.
Third-The principle of self-de-
termination of peoples has not been
discussed but may be settled at the
peace conference where the fate of
Belgium also is to be settled.
Fourth-The Balkan question is
/ to be settled around the conference
table.
Fifth-The Freedom of the seas,
the dismantling of Gibraltar and the
SUez canal and the. right for Ger
many to use coaling stations.
Sixth-The colonial question is
to be settled on the basis of the
status quo.
The Vorwaerts considers this a
very reasonable peace program.
The term status quo" applied in
the foregoing German colonial
question, has been rather loosely
used in the past in connection with
the solution of various peace prob
lens. In general it has Deen en-
ployed as an abbreviati3n of tho
term status quo ante bellum."
Change in German stand!
Germany's position Heretofore. as
indicated by her leading statesmen,
has been one of insistence upon the
return of her colonies, and there
has been nothing in the recent III
teranCes of the German leaders
tending to show that this attitude
had been changed. 1t was even in
dicated that the pawn" held by
Germany in the shape of Belgium
was intended to be used to secure
the giving back of her former col
onial possessions.
L. $. Agents "TabIe Peace.0
In the peace suggestions which
the Berlin VOrwaerts declares the
German government is about to ad-
vance to the entente and America
through the Spanish government,
, officials here detect the German de
sign, embodied in some shape in
almost every one of the peace pro-
posais which have emanated from
Berlin or Vienna, to leave to a
round table conference the actual
definition of peace terms.
Only Trick Play.
President Wilson's definition of
the terms upon which America is
willing to discuss peace has been
accepted by all of the great en-
tente powers as representative of
nvIrT0 n los 9 no
point out that Germany is quite
well aware of these conditions and
consequently they can only view
this new attempt at peace negOtia-
tions as another appeal to the paci-
fist elements in the entente and
also is intended to quiet the IN
easy Socialistic elements within
the central powers who are believed
to be again in dangerous mood.
Acting Secretary OF State Polk
said the new terms seemed more
favorable TO Germany than any
that had been made hitherto.
