WAsHINGroS. July 13.--News Of the

necessary to prevent them from being
crushed by Bolshevik forces operating
with released German prisoners.

There was nothing to-day 10 indicate
that President Wilson had changed his
view that military expedition to
Siberia could not be undertaken without

Final decision to put this scheme into

Arthur Henderson. Labor leader and
formerly member Of the British War
Cabinet speaking to-day at a labor
conference here, said the British Labor
party had succeeded last month in get
ting its statement of war aims into the
hands OF the Socialists OF enemy coun.
tries and that five replies thus far had
been received. Mr.. Henderson contin-
ued
The first reply came from the Bull
garian Socialists, who accepted prac-
tically all the general points OF our
memorandum, reservng some unimpor-
tant points regarding Macedonia.
The second reply came from the
Hungarian workers. who have submit
led to the Stockholm committee a state
ment of policy much on the lines Of
our memorandum.
Views of the Austrians.
The third reply came from the Aus
trian Socialists. who accepted the prin-
ciples OF the interalied memorandum
as basis for discussion. They indorsed
our conception OF a Federal system for
Austria Hungary and a similar system
for the Balkan States.
They declared they had always re-
pudiated tho Brest-Litovsk peace treaty,
and they agreed that Alsace-Lorrains
and Italian. Polish and colonial ques-
tions must he solved In accordance
with the desires OF the peoples cons
cerned.

man minority Socialists, who submitted
a statement to the Stockholm commit
tee on the lines of the interallied mem.
orandum.
Germans Also Approved.
THE NTH. and the most significant.
reply came from the German majority
Socialists. who endeavored to send il by
Troelstra. but the action of the Allies
in refusing passports to Troelstra pre-
vented the written document from reach.
ing us Nevertheless We received a
summary which shows that the German
majority Socialists declared their VIII
linguess to take part in an international
conversation on the basis Of the pro-
posals made by the neutral Socialists.
''It also seems clear that the German
majority Socialists accept virtually al
the principles OF the interallicd mem
orandum They are ready to discuss
even the question of the responsibility
for the war, although they think that no
good purpose would be served thereby
They are ready to discuss Belgium and
Alsaco-Lorraine and believe that Al
amirahle solution can he found. They
agree to a complete restoration OF Bel
gian Independence They urge that ar
international conference would be very
useful ut this time and, finally. they de-
clave themselves in favor of a league OF
nations to prevent aggression by one
Power upon another"

In the region southwest Of Scissors.
In an operation near Lonspont. which
was captured yesterday. the French
advanced their positions further east

from the Germans, crossed the Savieres
River opposite Catifet farm. taking
about thirty prisoners. During the
night in an action between Montdidier

On their sector the British report sue

are on the western side OF the Lys sa-

prisoners and some machine guns were
taken. A German raid In the same re-

The correspondent OF the Associated
Press on the front with the French army
says that the superbly executed action
carried out yesterday southeast OF
Amiens not only gave them large
batch of prisoners. but brought into
their possession the entire Rouvrelles
Plateau. dominating the region between

Noye. through which the main railroad

More Prisoners Coming In.
More than 500 German officers and
men already captured have been sent to
the rear, and others are arriving.
The artillery preparation preceding
the attack was brief, but 1t was Of a
powerful character. and the aim OF the
gunners was so accurate that when the
infantry went over they found the trees

vicinity reduced to matchwood
The Germans had laid widespread
network OF barbed wire in the woods
and the shells had blown the wire into

verence while under the incessant fire
