Continues Aggressive Defense
and Stays Impending Ger
man Offensive.
ITALIANS STRIKE HARD
. Vienna Admits That ,"Austrian
Advanced Posts Have Been
s Withdrawn to Their Main
- Positions.

Continuing their aggressive de-
fense in the face OF the impending
German offensive along the western
battle front. the French have once
more attacked the enemy southwest
OF scissors. Launching their blow
from the eastern side OF the Retz
forest, north Of Longpont, the French
have advanced over a front Of ap-
proXimately two miles, taking Cha
vigny farm and the slopes to the
north and south of it, Several hun
dred prisoners were captured by the
French in their sudden attack
The assault may be linked up
closely with the recent offensive op-
eratons at st. Pierre Aigle and gives
the French new front line Sfrom
Longpoint north as far as the south
ern limits of Ambleny, distance OF
almost eight miles.

Berlin mentions local attacks In
the Clignon sector, which is held by
Americans and between the Marine
and Rheims.
Italian forces operating on the
extreme left wing of the allied line

the Adriatic about 90 miles north Of
the towa Of Avlona, one of the most
important places in southern AL
bania. Vienna admits that the Aus
train sadvanced posts have been
withdrawn to their main positions"
This report from Austrian headquar-
ters probably refers to the action
mentioned In the French official
statement on Sunday night. 1t was
said by the war office at Paris that
French and Italian forces had seized
heights in western Albania and had
held them against counter-attacks.
May BE New Offensive.
Although the movement is as yet
not fully developed, 1t may be that
a serious offensive operation has
been initiated there. Italian naval
vessels would be able to cooperate
with the land forces and II the line
is pushed sack a very great dis
tance, relocation of the enemy
lines running over the mountains in
to Macedonia might be necessary.
The fighting north OF Avlona has
sbeen going On for at least three days,
which indicates that 1t may be more
thar afmere local action.
Events are moving with rapidity In
Russia since the assassination OF
Count Won Mirbach. the German am
pDassador at Moscow. Rumors OF a
counter-revoution at Moscow come
from various sources, but other dis
patches say that the uprising has
beenecrushed, and several hundred of
the revolutionists are under arrest.

Even in Local Work Careless
ness Has Embarrassed the
Chapter Officers.
SOME WORK INACCURATE
In Other Instances, However.
the Local Chapter Has Been
COmplimented on Both Quail
ty and Quantity.

Conservation is the watchword OF
the day. Conservation of time and
talent as well as money. The acid
test is being put to the women of
America. Will the workers in the
Lancaster Red Cross listen to the ur-
gent plea not to waste anything
whether ii be time or material?
There are many women in the va
rious departments whose work is al
ways standard; and yet on the other
hand, although the chapter has
been organized for more than n wear
with careful anj efficient directors
in each department. still there are
some workers who do not yet appre-
Ciate the value Of the four fundamen-
tai principles of acceptable Red Cross
work. These four requirements are
cleanliness, accuracy. uniformity OF
size, and good quality of material.
lnattention to these basic principles
has recently caused embarrassment to
the chapter officials especially the
knitting chairman. who has recently

Atlanta, thirteen pair of socks which
had been so carelessly and inaccur-
ately made that thev we're ordered

THE ARMY COOK

He never gets medals pinned on him;
He never is given a chance
To stand up and shoot at the oncoming
Teut,
When the kaiser begins to advance.
The shfapnei may whistle around him,
The hand grenades fall at his feet
but ne and his crew must keep mixing
the stew
For those lads in the khaki WILL eatl
The peasant girls smile on the soldiers,
But they never give even look
AT his gravy stained map or his SCOT
covered cap,
Or murder tMon Dieu! zee sweet cook!'
He sticks to his stove while his comrades
Are busily blowing their pay,
Fer the fellows that fight are in fine
appetite,
And they've got to have three meals a
day.
He never is named in dispatches
For gaiiantry, courage or skill,
lie never has time to attempt the SUI
blime
He has too many bellies to ILL.,
But when the whole business is over,
And the kaiser is handed the hook,
We're hoping that fame win find room
for the name,
OF that woFkadar hero, the cook.

Hun Peace OffensiUes

Regarding rumors of peace offers
from the Hun, the New York. Times
has the following to say:
"A German peace offensive, as we
have said before, is not an attempt to
get peace it is military maneuveR,
the purpose of which is to divide or
confuse the enemy. Mr.. Balfour be-
ieves that Kaiser KarIs letter to
Prince Sixtus, offering to recognize
Frances lust claims to Alsace-L or-
raine," was such a peace offensive.
There are circumstances that confirm
this view in measure. One of them
is KarPs insistence that the offer
should be made known only to Great
Britain and France, not to Italy and
the United States. The letter was
written few days before the United
States entered the war; but the prohi-
bition applied to the subsequent nego-
tiations. So far as Italy is concerned,
the reason why Karl did not want her
to know about his offer is obvious. He
hoped by the offer of Alsaoe- Lorraine
to hribe France and Great Britain to
desert Italy; and then he could deal
with Italy separately.
AS for the United States, Mr.. Bal
four plainly implies that the negotia-
tions We're going ON after this country
over here at the head of the British
Mission: that England was not taken
into the conference by France until he
had left for the United States. There
was every reason, If Karl had been
honest in his intentions, for letting
the United States know about it, but
he was strict in his prohibition. Why
did he not wish the president to know
that he had offered Aisace- Lorraine to
France? 1t is true that Austria was
not then at war with us, but that is
OF no consequence; Austria was even
then flirting with us. laying the basis
for that pretense OF friendship and
willingness for an honorable peace
with which Count CZeFnin so long en-
teFtained President Wilson, The con-
clusion that he did not wish us to
know about 1t because he wanted to
play on a different string with us, and
as he intended to play on different
string with Italy, is hard to avoid.
Nevertheless. Mr.. Grasty's dispatch
of yesterday informs us that French

THE VIOLATION
OF BELGIUM

The following proclamation was dis
tributed by the German army among
the Belgian civil population on August
4th, 1914. This was the day they VIC
lated Belgian neutrality, and they still
hoped that the Belgian army would
offer no resistance. But when Belgian
troops checked their advance that af-
ternoon at the passage Of the Mouse.
they changed their tone and wreakea
their revenge on the Belgian civilians.
At Warsage, the village where this
proclamation had been scattered by
the Uhlans, 3 civilians were shot, six
hanged, nine others murdered in var
ious ways and 25 houses Were burnt
down.

TO THE : ELaIAN PEOPLE.

1t is to my very great regret that the
German troops find themselves COM
PEELED to cross the Belgian frontier.
They are acting under the eonstraint
of an unavoidable necessity. Belgium's
neutrality having been violated by the
French Ulcers who, in disguise, cross
ed Belgian territory by motor-car in
order to make their way into Germany,
Belgians!
1t is my greatest ish that there
may still be a way of avoiding a con-
flict between two nations which have
hitherto been. friends, and at one time
even allies.
Remember the glorious days of Wa
terIoo where German arms played
their part in founding. and establishing
the independence and prosperity Of
your country. But we must have q
free passage. The destruction of
bridges, of tunnels, and of railways
win have to be looked upon as hostile
acts.
Belgians!
1t is for you to 1oose, hope the
German army CT the Mouse win not
be forced to fight y /. A free passage
for attack is all we desire.
l give formal pledges to the Belgian
.pulatien that II will have nothing to
suffer from the horrors Of war, that
we will pay in gold for the provisions
that must be taken from the country,
and that our soldiers will prove them
selves the best of friends to a people
for whom we feel the highest esteem
and the greatest sympathy. 1t rests
with your good sense and with an in
telligent patriotism to save your coun-
try from the horrors OF war.

claim Thursday, the 30th day of
May, day already freiahted with
sacred and stimulating memories,
day of public humiliation, pray
err and fasting, and do exhort my
fellow citizens of all faiths and
creeds to assemble on that day in
in their several places of worship
and there, as well as in their
homes, to pray Almighty God
that He may forgive our sins and
shortcomings as a people and
purify our hearts to see and love
the truth, to accept and defend all
things that are just and right, and
to purpose only those righteous
acts End judgments which are in
conformity with His will.
Beseechina Him that He will
give victory to cor armiees as they
fight for freedom, wisdom to
those who lake counsel on our be-
half in these days of dark strug-
gle and perplexity, and steadfast-
ness to our people to make sac
rifice to the utmost in support of
what is just and true, bringing
US at last the peace in which
mems hearts can be at rest, be-
cause it is founded upon mercy,
justice and good will.
