Counter Blows Reduced

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE VESLE, Aug 15-The sustained
pressure by the French and Americans
on the line between scissors and
Rheims appeared to-day to be having
the expected result. Information from
behind the German front, obtained by
observers, indicated the withdrawal of
one or two enemy divisions. In addi-
ton, the counter actions of the Ger
mans have been notably reduced of
late.
Moreover, the enemy's reply to the
American guns, which never have
ceased their punishment, has been ap-
preciably less prompt, and the falling
off in the enemy's aerial activities has
been especially noticeable

August i6, ESQ A. IA.
The Allies yesterday made progress
on the centre and right flank of
the Picardy battlefield.
The Canadians in the centre took
the villages Of Damery and Par
villers, northwest of Roye, which
is now more closely invested, rem
dering the important roads lead

enemy.
The French, under General Hum

rivers toward the Lassigny-Noyon
line, capturing Attiche and Mono
1.-THE Farms and taking some pris-
onerS.
On the whole, however, the fighting
was less general in character than
on previous days. The Allies are
going forward in series of fierce
local actions.
The extent of the Allied victory is
emphasized by further details of
the German retirements else
where. North of Albert, it was an
nounced yesterday, Allied patrols
have crossed the Ancre at Au-
thuille and Aveluy and have pene-
trated Albert. In Flanders, a
London report said the German
withdrawal on the west side of the
Lys salient had reached depth
OF one to two miles on nine-mile
front.

Army has taken 21,844 prisoners
and the French First Army $500,

Hintze,. ON Eve of Kaisers'
Council, Talks of Peace
German Foreign Minister Puts Blame for Con-
tnuation Of War on Allies as He Leaves to
Attend Conference Between the Two Kasers

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 15.-No reason
able peace proposal has been made to
Germany, Admiral Won Hintze, the
German Foreign Minister, said in an
interview with the Berlin pond
ent of the "Cologne Gazette" before
leaving for main headquarters to at
tend the conference now going on be-
tween Emperor Charles Of Austria
Hungary and the German Emperor.
The obstacle to peace, he asserted,
was the mad desire of the Entente ma
tions to annihilate Germany.
Admiral Won Hintze discussed the
statement of Premier Lloyd George
in his war anniversary message that
six months ago Germany deliberately
rejected a just and reasonable settle
ment proposed by the Allies and that
Germany discarded finally the mask of
moderation toward partitioned Russia
and enslaved Rumania. Admiral Won
Hintze said:
Lloyd Georges statement was vague
and uncertain. Nothing is known au
thoritatively in German political or
military circles about such reasonable
peace proposals.
Had the Entente statesmen serious
ly intended to pave the way for a
peace by understanding they could
have approached Germany through the
properly authorized persons with a
view to discussion that would bring
both parties into contact.
No Refusal, He Says
There can be no question, there
fore, of refusal by Germany of any
reasonable peace proposal"
Referring to the half-year period
mentioned by Prcmie~ Lloyd George,
the German Foreign Secretary pointed
out that at that time Entente states
men had left the world under no de-
lusions whatever regarding their real
war aims.
What was the position at that
time?" Admiral Won Hntze said.

Central Powers invited the Entente
nations to take part In the Brest-

Oil Protest
Mexico Told Land Decree.
Amount Virtually to
Confscation

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The United
States and Great Britain have joined
in diplomatic representation to the
Mexican government against the oil
land DEGREES Of President Carranza
which, it is contcndcd, amount practi-
cally to conflscation.
Meanwhile, the American and English
oil companies have united in an agree
ment to refuse to meet the terms of the
DEGREES, which they contend would take
the properties from them, and have
agreed among themselves to depend
upon their governments for protection
of their interests.
Embarrassing to Allies
These two developments mark the
progress Of situation in Mexico which
is generally regarded as growing in its
possibilities of embarrassment for the
nations engaged in the war against Ger
many.
Representatives of the American oil
COIuPdl1eS, I'LL support OIL tNclr COnten-
tion that Mexico's action is of ad-
vantage to Germany, quote Manager
Ballin of the Hamburg American Line,
who recently stated publicly that "after
the war is over we are assured of ex-
tensive oil possessions overseas"
The Allies need this year 100000, 900
barrels of crude oil, for which they de-
pend entirely upon the United States.
The United States can produce not over
315,000,000 barrels. The Mexican fields
can supply 13o,ooo,oO0 barrels.
German Propaganda Plan
All the oil in Mexico is owned by
American and British companies
Under the newest decree Mexico :.t-
tempts to make oil the property of the
natien. Mexican petroleum then would
become nationally owned contraband
and as such might not be sold by neu-
trail country to belligerent under in
ternational law.
To endow petroleum with that char
acter and prevent shipment of it to the
Allies is said to be the purpose of Ger
man propaganda in Mexico.

to a general peace by und erstanding
The Entente, however, permittd the

Reviews Peace Speeches
Admiral Won Hintze reviewed the
conditions of peace that had been laid
down in other speeches of Premier
Lloyd George, in the messages of Pres
ident Wilson and in the decisions OF
the Entente Allied conference at Yer
sailles, and the views expressed by
German Chancellors and Count Ger
nin, former Austro-Hungarian Foreign
Minister. He said that several Ger
man Chancellors hac pointed out that
the enemy continued to show a will to
prosecute the war until the annihila-
tion of Germany should be accom-
p!ished.
Subsequent developments have
shown the same picture" Admiral Won
Hintze declared. "Sane propositions,
wherever they originated, with view
to bringing about by authorized per-
sons a reasonable preliminary discus
sion aiming ut peace by arrange
ment, have been treated with contempt
and disdain. The Entente statesmen
still resort to the same ambiguous
phrases, although these have been re-
futed a hundred times.
Their programme, in truth, is as
imperialistic and anneXationist as be-
fore. 1t hardly is imaginable that
reasonable considerations will take
tangible form so long as the hatred
and the passion of the peoples are con-
tinually stirred up by unscrupulous
agitators, as is the case in enemy
countries"
In concluding, Admiral Won Hintze
was emphatic in asserting that guilt
for the prolongation Of the war lay
not with the Germans but with the
Entente statesmen.
