While little devils dance in glee.

RAILROAD MEETING
 |S HELD AT DENVER
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

DENVER, July 7.-Conditions af- fecting the railroads of the country particularly those in the western states, were discussed at a conference here today attended by Judge Robert $. Lovett, of Washington. D. C., di- rector of expenditures; Hale Holden of Chicago, regional director for the cen tral division of the federal railway ad- ministration and N. H. Loomis, rail way attorney of Omaha, Neb. Judge Lovett said that nothing definite was done at the conference and that he had no statement to make regarding the results of the conference.
 We were merely making a general survey of railway conditions over the country and in the west. We discussed measures of keeping all lines open and goods moving"
 Judge Lovett was asked if the ques- tion of junking the Colorado Midland in accordance with the recent order of the district court of Fl Paso county was taken up. He declined to commit himself in his answer nor would he state whether expenditures granted re- gently in connection with the improve ment of the Moffatt road were dis cussed.

promised well, but it was stopped and the British were driven back slightly from their advanced positions.
 The fighting at Oulchy Le Chateau and to the southeast through the wooded country has been steady and the Germans have been compelled to give ground, but it has been a slow process, that the allies have carried on in turning the enemy out of this sec ton and forcing them to withdraw toward Fere En TardenOis.
 Salient Swept by Guns
 The situation on the interior of the German salient must be uncomfortable for the enemy. Long range guns in the hands of the allies are sweeping nearly every part of the salient and this fire is doubly severe over that portion of the German position which is within range of the medium calibre cannon. There is, however. little to jus tify the belief that the Germans are in serious straits, or that their retreat is being unduIy hurried. There have been moreover. indications that the Ger. mans may decide not to retreat out o the salient but will try to hold it in definitely.

 Officers of the union have been asked to a conference tomorrow with Chairman Hurley and R. P. Bass, the boards labor expert to determine whether the men shall go out Monday, as planned. in strike which the ship ping board has declared could not be
 justified at this time when tie-up of lake transportation probably would mean paralysis of the war program There have been suggestions, that in the event of a strike, some of the thousands of men in training for the navy at Great Lakes, Ills, might be

(Continued from Page One) a more broken one, made so by the character of the enemy's withdrawal, especially on the south side.
 Advance Made Cautiously. The effect has been the presentation Of highly dangerous, spongy front, into which any part of the advancing allied line might fall. Were it not for the hunting down of the enemy and cleaning out of points of obstruction some parts of the line could be far in advance of where they are. | The Germans have left officers who know how to maneuver skilfully par tially detached units, so that at all times it appears most ironical to refer to their defense as rear guard action.
 It is just that, however, although by any standard except those established in this war, the almost half daily and really minor encounters would be styled big battle.
 Prisoners From Landwehr.
 Prisoners brought to one of the American division headquarters today were men of the Landwehr, who con- firmed former statements of prisoners that the armies engaged in the retire ment are leaving only enough men to resist efforts to hurry them. Like other prisoners, they professed weariness of the war and said this feeling was gen. eral. but supposed they must go on, since the men in high command so willed
 The advance was not great, but it was accomplished in the face of huge numbers of machine guns. The Ameri- cans advanced slightly their positions almost in the center of the arc, while on their right the French advanced to and through Port A Binzon, one of the few places where the Germans were still clinging near the north bank of the Marne.
 Overcome First Check. Another forward movement was that of the Americans in Pere forest, where they were checked yesterday. The ac- tion occurrd in a big open place in the forest, the Germans clinging to the in- ner edge of the woods. Behind the Americans was their heavy artillery which sent shells far over the short ened field of operations into the main bodies of the German troops and also harassed their transport.
 The lighter artillery was used as a barrage into and across the fields, the Germans not replying to any great ex- tent
 When the Americans advanced into the open, lines of machine guns con- cealed in the woods, shell holes and ev- cry possible point of cover, swept then with a murderous fire. It was insuf. ficient, however, to do more than slow up the advance which continued stead fly and cautiously until a group O houses in the center of the area ha( been occupied.

HARDEN bRAvELy |S
 TELLING THE TRUTH
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

AMSTERDAM, July 27.-Maximilian Harden devotes practically the whole of today's Die Zukunft'' to proving that Chancellor von Hertlings charge against the allies that they want to an- nihilate Germany is untrue. Harden quotes President Wilson's Mount Yer non speech and A. G. Balfours last house of commois speech to show how bitter the entente nations are against militarism, but that they are ready to give the German people fair chance.
 He compares these speeches with those recently delivered either by the German chancellor or various junkers in the Prussian upper house where the demand for unlimited annexations is continually heard.
 He concludes by saying.
 Germany must begin to see clearly on which side is the will to annexations. Germany must begin to fight this pow CT in her midst-a power With which Germany herself long ago became dis gusted."
