FLAYS GERMAN RULERS
Macmillan Harden IntimateS
Policy Is Disastrous.
Carry on Tradition of Power of the
Sword While Processing
Democratic Aims.

London, July IA current number
Of Die Zukunft contains a sharp in
dictment of the rulers of Germany by
Macmillan Harden.
The holders of high Offices, he is
quoted as saying by the Rotterdam
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph,
when Ii seems useful to themselves,
profess to favor new world order of
democracy and national peace, but
they really are only carrying on the
tradition of the power of the sword.
NO high parsonage in the German
empire" he says, wishes to see set
up a league of nations, adhesion to
which has been declared by the states
OF North and South America and rep
resentatives of England, France, Italy,
Canada, Australia and India. The con
tinuance of endeavors to conceal this
fact has become unnecessary since
Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest.
I'VE know what the enemy wants
and we know that we have a govern
ment which, calling itself pan-German
or whatever else it likes, only expects
peace through the might of the army
and feels certain OF obtaining it in a
short time. We may be certain that
40 words of theirs will ever gain belief
anywhere"

Pr0WeSS of American Soldiers in
Battle Thrills National
Capital.
ELATION IS APPARENT
Secretary Baker In a Statement Says
German Attack Came After Care
full reparation-President
Eagerly Reads Accounts.

Washington, July 17.-As dispatches
from France unfold the story of the
valiant stand of American troops along
the Marne against the renewed Ger
man offensive an air of elation was ap-
parent in government circles.
Official advices were slow and no
formal report on the German effort to
drive the jaws of great pincer move
ment about Rheims on a 65 mile front
was available.
Americans Hurl Enemy Back.
Press reports made 1t clear, how
ever, that the enemy had not only
been stopped, but hurled back by
American counter attacks along the
Marne where they hold the left flank
of the great battle front, while the
French army, aided near Rheims by
Italian divisions, stood fast over the
far greater extent of the line they de-
Tended against fierce assaults by the
enemy.
At the White House, the President
read the account. with eager interest
that did not wane At the War de-
partment, Secretary Baker, General
March, chief of staff, and other high
officers received eagerly the brief
glimpses of the battle flashed across
the country in press bulletins from
the battle front
President Gets News Reports.
Every line was studied with grow
ing delight, as it became evident the
enemy had met with a decided check
in the first rush of his greatest effort
thus far The fact that credit for
stopping the heaviest parts of the as
sault thus far reported belongs to men
of the first American army corps add
ed to the feeling of elation.
After reading reports, Secretary
Baker made the following statement:
"The attack made by the Germans is
evidently the result of careful prepara-
tions. 1t covers a wide front and is
made in force. We are at the end of
the first day of great battle. The
reports so far are encouraging and
seem to indicate both heavy fighting
and effective resistance along the en-
tire front"
The prompt and hard driven counter
attacks of the American troops at two
points sent a glow of enthusiasm
through the whole War department
when the word first came.

FOE DRIVE A FAILURE

East of Rheims, Make Small
Gains Eastward-American
Attack Routs Enemy.

London, July 17.-After driving the
Germans back across the Marne, the
Americans cleared the enemy entirely
from the south bank, recapturing the
towns of Fossoy, Mezy, Crezancy and
Courtemont, say reports received here.
The first German rush In the new
Champagne drive is definitely checked,
1t was said 'autboritatively.

ing. Elsewhere there is only desul.
tory skirmishing.
Between Chezy sur Marne and
Vaux, the Americans are fighting bril-
liantly.
Launch New Attacks.
Furiously launching new attacks
against the Allied positions on the
Marine front from Chateau Thierry to
Rheims, the Germans are continuing
their efforts to break through the
French and American defense. They
made progress, but it was decidedly
slow in comparison with the sweep
of the Teutonsc legions in their at.
tacks in Picardy, Flanders and along
the Aisne
1t appears that the enemy, after
crossing the Marne between Dormans
and Chatillon, has reached in this area
the villages of St Agnan, La Chapelle
and Monthedon, which are approx.
mately a nile and three-quarters south
of the river, but in the outskirts OF
these towns they have been held up.
Just TO the northeast the Germans
managed to traverse the Bouquigny
wood, but on the southwark side they
have been stopped.
Americans Hold Fast.
West of Dormans, which Is "a miles
east of Chateau Thierry, American
troops are holding the battleline. I'm.
official advices state that in this area
they have retaken the villages of Fos.
soy and Crezancy, south of the Marne
where the Germans gained ground in
the first rush across the river.
From the French official report ii is
evident that between Dormans and
Rheims the Germans are driving to-
ward the Marne at Chatillon and along
the line to the northeast. Only al
one point, in the Rodemat wood, a
mile and a half from Chatillon, did
they advance. Even there they have
been checked by the French fire.
From that point east there is nc
change in the situation along the en-
tire 65-mile front.
Greatest Gain 3s4 Miles.
The deepest penetration along this
line, approximately is 3A miles north
east of Chatillon in the Rodemat wood
This marks the greatest advance oi
the Germans at any point along the
line since their offensive began.
100000 to 100000 In Foe Drive.
Between 100000 and 100000 mer
were thrown into the battleline by
the German command. Despite these
huge numbers and the use of every
facility of offense and destruction
known to the enemy, Berlin was able
to report officially Monday night only
that ito the southwest and east oi
Rheims we penetrated into parts oi
the French positions"

Small International Force on
Artic and White Seas Has
Been Reinforced.
SOVIET POWER WAVES
OPPOSITION to the Bolsheviki Govern
ment Has Strengthened Its Posi-
tions at No Less Than Three
Widely Separated Points.

Washington, July 1.-THE situa-
tion in Russia and Siberia is daily
presenting new phases, although
greatly overshadowed by the tre-
mendous developments on the West
ern front
AT no less than three widely sep
arated points have the opposition
to the Soviet government greatly
strengthened their positions, thus
heavily taxing the inadequate military
machine of the Bolsheviki
On the shores of the Artic and
White seas the small international AL
lied force which has been holding the
railroad terminus at Kola and Muir
mansk has been considerably rein
forced and is advancing southwark
along the railroad towards Vologda
and Moscow.
1t is admitted officially that there
are some American sailors and ma.
rines in the neighborhood of Kola,
but it is not known that they are par
ticipating in this southwark movement
and it is doubted whether, in the alb
sence of special instructions they
would do so, unless it were necessary
as a defensive measure.
Firms Change Heart.
Reports from reliable sources in
Sweden indicate surprising change
of sentiment among the Finnish people
toward their GeTman-controlled gov.
ernment, making 1t impossible for that
government to raise any volunteer
troops to attack the Allied force on the
line of the Kola-Moscow railroad.
This has greatly relieved the minds of
officials, who realize that this rail-
road could be held only by a very
large force if attacked from Finland.
Cutting off communication in that way
would greatly endanger the position of
the Allied forces on the Murmansk
coast when winter comes.
With Finland practically neutral,
and the local population in the Muir.
mansk country coming to the aid of
the Allied forces, it is believed that
the Allies now are reasonably sure of
being able to maintain a channel of
communication with Central Russia
and Siberia against any German at.

Lenine Protest ignored.
The protest of the Lenine govern
ment against the Allies operation In
the North is believed to have been a
mere formality. made possibly to sat
isfy the Germans, who are endeavor
ing to control the Bolsheviki govern

Amsterdam, July 1.-THE German
press continues it's campaign of be-

other experts and expresses disbelief
in the statement that more than 1,000,-
600 American soldiers are in France
However, he confesses to great admir-
alton for the personal qualities of the
American soldier, though he considers
they lack discipline.

there are 100000 Americans, including
working squads, at the front.
