(By the Associated Press


BY a great surprise attack on the
German lines, planned especially as
celebration of American Independ-
ence Day, Australian troops have
wrested from the Germans the village
Of Hamel, east of Amiens, occupied
Eaire and Hamel Woods, south OF
the village, and captured more than
$500 prisoners. The Australians adj
vanced under the cover of a smoke
barrage and were led by tanks in the
breaking of the enemy's line over a
front of more than four miles. The
attack penetrated a mile and a half
in to the German positions.
The British war office has an
nounced that American troops par
ticipated in the attack. This is the
first time they have appeared in this
part of the battle area.
The French have also struck saw
agely against the German lines. this
time cutting through the enemy ranks
near the towns of AutreChes, south of
Moulin Sous Tourent. where on
Tuesday night they won a local sue
cess and captured prisoners. Here
the Germans lost 1866 prisoners.
In both operations the Allies have
improved their positions by gaining
rather high ground, which can be
readily defended when the Germans
launch their expected offensive.
At the same time that the British
French and Americans were alta
ing the enemy, the ItGlians continued
to advance in the area near The
mouth of the Piave. Scattered ma
chine gun emplacemerts have been
cleaned out, while light boats from
the Italian navy have entered the la
goons on the left flank of the Aus
TRAN armies and given valuable as
sistance to the land forces. The
Italians have also won ground in the
San Lorenzo valley, east of the
Brenta river.

Police System Poor in Russia
Presents Appearance Of Hounded
Man and Acts Very Nervous

Paris. July 4-Alexander T. keren-
sky, the former Russian premier, today
told the Associated Press that between
November. 1911. when his government
fell, and May, 1918, he was in hiding in
various cities of central Russia. At
first he was in Tetrograd ard later in
Moscow and did not leave Moscow until
May %. He said that at all times he
was in contact with political leaders of
the parties opposed to the Bolshevik
regime
Surprise was expressed that man SO
we'll known with a price on his head
could remain in the largest cities plot
ting against the Bolsheviki without be-
ing arrested 1t was suggested that the
police system in Russia must be very
poor.
The police system is always very
poor in Russia he replied. He refused
10 say how he had left Russia rs he
might incriminate friends who had sid-
ed him.
he presents the appearance Of a man
that has been long bounded and is in
fear Of his life. He is very nervous
and looks about quickly when anyone
approaches him from behind.
You cannot understand the horror of
our situation" he said. THE shame of
the peace at Brest-Litovsk has caused
our friends and allies to consider the
russian people as deserter, but the
Russian people will perish rather than
submit to German tyranny

successor would be. Some insist that
the appointee will be Clarence Stokes
or Pope Reese, while others are equal
ly confident that it will be an attor-
ney recently admitted to practice who
has not figured extensively in local
politics.
There was general criticism of the
result of the Investigation instigated
by the governor. 1t was pointed out
that its only affect has been to make
the gambling law ridiculous and that no
good has been accomplished.
A prominent citizen who has extern
siye property investments said that
the governor has again done Pensacola
a serious injustice and that the fiasco
resulting from the Investigation proves
that the governor was mistaken in his
charges against Pensacola or the au-
thorities are very lax in performance
Of their duty.
No professional gambling has been
disclosed and the only arrests made
have been based upon friendly games
of cards or matching" for coffee.
1t is predicted in some quarters that
the governors pique against Pensacola
will prompt him to insist upon the
arrest of several ladies who attend card
clubs which compete for prizes.
