S. Congress Are Now .
in London.

London, Aug. 1.-Nine American
congressman who, with the memb
of the naval committee of the Ameri-
can house of Representatives make
twenty-five members of congress now
in London, arrived, this morning from
France and Italy. They had visited
the Americans on the Marine front,
saw the fighting there and said that
they were prouder than ever Of
America.
1--WE know Of Americas wonderful
effort, said Representative Cassius G..
Dowell of Des Moines, but we did
not realize so much had been done.'
Congressman Dowell said the most
cheering message he got on the
Marne front was from a boy who
came from his home town, Des
Moines. The soldier lay on cot
wounded and had just been brought
in from the fighting zone. He said,
smilingly to the congrAssman:
Tell the folks at home that we
may not all come back but we are
winning the war"
Congressman Dowell said that he
had found the same spirit every
where. Other congressman in the
party include Burton E. Sweet of
Waverly, Iowa, and George M. Young

BRUTAL FIGHT OCCURRED

Take. Ple-Ony Dead Germans Marched On.

Except, for a few German pris-
oners. every German in the viii
lage had breathed his last. Such
was tho final capture of Seringes.
"During the night the enemy
twice attempted to retake Sergy
but each time he was repulsed
with heavy losses. Then he made
a fierce assault on NIeurcy farm.
east of Seringes, which was piled
with the dead which he had left
there the day before, when every
man defending it died at is post.
There again the enemy was un-
successful, though not until steel
had crossed steel in the big farm
yard and the heaps of German
slain had been doubled in the
ruins about it.
ssThis was classic fighting in
deed-man against man and the
better to win. There was no call
for quarter. The pride of the
professional soldier was up
against the pride of the free man,
both preferring death to sur
render.
fighting extended still further
eastward and in every case the
Germans who attacked were an
initiated. Later came the attack
on Seringes and an attempt at the
same time to drive the Allies
from Hill 1877, west Of Seringes.
There for the first time since
the Allies crossed the Ourcq the

Bitter Against Germany.
Amsterdam, Aug. 1.-"Feeling in
Russia is everywhere very bitter

frank statement made by Hans Worst,
special commissioner of the Tageblatt
of Berlin. who visited Moscow, and
reports from that city on the CONVEX
sations he has had with business men,
officials and peasants regarding inter-
nal conditions in Russia.
Businessmen, the correspondent
finds, are without exception strongly
anti-Bolshevik. They believed anoth-
er war against Germany was coming
but were not clear under whose direc-
tion. All however agreed that the
Bolshevik regime ought to be smashed
although it was freely admitted there
was no other organization set in exist
ing capable Of smashing it.
