Germans Tried to Guard
Former Gar Against Harm

BERNE,. July s1-Repeated re-
ports OF the assassination OF the Tor
rner EMPEROR Nicholas OF Russia have
brought out a statement In diplomatic
quarters that the German authorities
took care to guard as far as possible
against the eventualfty Of an assassi-
nation of any OF the members OF the
former imperial family, by a secret
article in the Brest-Litovsk treaty
providing for the treatment OF the
former emperor and his family.
THIS article. as discussed In diplo-
matte circles, required that the per-
sonal safety OF the imperial family be
safeguarded by suitable military and
police guards, and that their future
SURROUNDINGS should be in keeping
with the dignity of their former posi-
ton.
vision IL is said thas the Red Guard,
which formerly had charge OF tho
imperial family was changed to .
guard OF Lettonians in whom special
confidence was reposed. The change
OF the place OF Imprisonment 70
resulted from this same provision re-
curing safeguards against personal
danger 10 the imperial family.
The prevailing diplomatic view
here is that the interest OF the Ger
man authorities IN Nicholas and fam
family something more than human
lily was moething more than human
German support for an imperial res
toration In Russia. IL that should
eventually prove an effective part OF
German policy In Russia

CANNOT HOLDI

City Is important Center for
German Supplies Fall Would
Force Falling Back.

BV ASSOCt0te0 ffe6S.
Roye. the central bastion of the
German defense line from Peronne to
Noyon, which has withstood allied
thrusts for nearly a week, is menaced
seriously by advancing French, Bri-
tish and Canadian troops and its fall
would appear to be a probability of
the next few hours.
With the town in allied hands the
southern end Of the German line, at
least, undoubtedly would have to re-
tire, although the northern end
through Chaulnes to Peronne also
would be affected. The allies are now
but a scant one and one-quarter miles
west of the town, while they are
pressing eastward in the north and
in the south.
Along a front of nearly nine miles
north and south of the Avre, which
flows through Roye, the allies have
pushed back the enemy in stubborn
fighting. The most notable advance
was made on q front of three miles
in the center by French and Canadian
troops who now are fighting in line
through Goyencourt, st. AIard, les
Triot and Laucourt. st. Mard is west
of Roye and there are no villages in
the intervening mile and q quarter.
French troops on the south have
forced their way almost through to
Loges Wood which borders the Roye-
Lassigny road on the west The wood
is five miles directly south of Roye
and It would appear that a further
advance might enable the French to
outfiank both Roye and Lassigny and
force the Germans to readjust their
lines eastward toward Noyon and
probably beyond. North of Goyen-
court British forces. having repulsed
an enemy attack on Damery in which
$50 prisoners were captured, are
pushing eastward with French units
toward Fransart and Frasnoy-les-
Roye.
Artillery activity continues on the
remaining sectors of main battle-
front between the Ancre and the Oise.
the French on the southern maintain
their newly gained positions and the
enemy has shown no disposition TO
attack.
Berlin reports onicially that aiiiad
attacks on both sides of the Avre on
Friday failed. The German war office
has nothing further to say of the
Withdrawals in the Lys salient and
along the Ancre. Admission OF the
loss of Assiche Farm. southwest OF
Noyon, TO the French Is made, but IL
is said that six French attacks against
Lassigny on Thursday were repulsed.
American and French troops along
the Vesle have undergone an attack
in which the Germans used gas, ar
tillery and bombing aviators. This
attack followed an incursion by AM
erican aviators who heavily bombed
German bridges over the Aisne and
discovered enemy artillery and ma
chine gun nests Three German aN-
planes were brought down by Ameri-
can airmen Thursday; British ana
French airmen on the same day put
thirty-two enemy machines out of ac-
ton while Berlin reports the destruc-
tion of twenty-four allied airplanes.
Italian troops IN the Tonale region,
northwest of Lake GardR, and along
southern Piave have withstood Aus
trian attacks against their new posi-
tions on these sectors. Otherwfso>the
situation is unchanged In northern
Italy.

WHY THEY ARE CRANKY -

Whv does a small minority Of Senator's
act so unpatriotically? Simply because
they will not have TO give an account
of their stewardship 10 the people for
several years Senators Hitchcock, Reed,
Mcclellan. Lodge and McCumber, among
these truculcnt critics, hold office until
1923 Chamberlain, IIoke Smith,
sherman and Wordsworth are IN until
1921. Not single Senator who is
opposing the President comes up for
reelection this year For short time
Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts,, was
given to fault-Gndlng and back-hiting
but he dropped that role when he decided
to be candidate before the people this
fall
These very critical Senators feel that
they are immune from punishment by
their constituents, and so they give
free rein To their cantankerousness BY
the time they Will come up for reelection
they hope that their lack Of patriotism
will be forgotten Possibly they may be
mistaken in this view. Philadelphia

NEW REVENUE.

Secretary McAdoo has sent to the
Senate information rs TO the income
Of the government for the fiscal year
which will end on June 80, so that that
body may make up its mind as to the
need for further revenue Legislation at
this season. The report shows that the
income is considerably in excess of what
had been estimated, though it falls some
what short of a guess that was made a
few weeks ago. The people are paying
more than $1,000 O00,0 600 in taxes,
which is. approximately, a third of the
cost Of the war The other two-third
have been met with Liberty Bonds
Mr. McAdoo recently told the leaders
in Congress that the estimates for the
year will exceed those Of last year by about
$4,000 OO0,00 and he asked for new
revenues so as to avoid excessive borrow
ing. If Congress adheres to its plan TO
wait until next December before it revises
the War Revenue Act. the new levies
would be available for only part of 1918,
according to Mr.. McAdoo. The govern
ment must have all the money it needs
and the money must be obtained In the
best way. Buffalo Express.

Harsh Treatment Of Neutrals.

Germany has renewed her war on tho
fishing boats and other business vessels
oC Norway and sweden. which brutality
Was suspended temporarily IN consequence
81 protests from these two countries The
reports Of this week wov Of fishing boats
attacked without warning hv German
submarines and DESTROYED without giving
the crows an opportunity Of escaping
II is SAID the I'-hoats even fired upon the
lIfohoats IN which the crews were en-
dcavoring TO escape
Such brutal disregard Of the rights OF
mankind should serve to open the ewes
of the people Of the Scandinavian coun-
tries 10 the folly Of the neutrality they
have thus far scrupulously maintained in
respect Of Germany. to say nothing of the
aid thcy have gwen her frequently.
Germany has no sense of generosity.
Simply because these countries are not
openly arrayed on her side. she preys
upon them at every opportunity
These latest outrages may arouse the
authorities of the two countries to action
in reprisal. but IT IS doubtful They have
been submissive and covering for SO long
time they can hardly entertain spirt
OF resistance It may require further an
even more desp,cahle outrage 70 arouse
