Placing of War Blame on
Russia Viewed as Bid
to Pacihsts

WASHINGTON, June 25. - Ger
many's latest declaration of war aims.
as enunciated yesterday in the Reichs-
Tag by DR.. Won Kuehlmann, Minister
for Foreign Affairs, was regarded by
oflclals here as merely another phase
IN Germany's old cycle of military
drives and peace offensives.
- In the official view Dr.. Won Kuehl
sleann'iSpnly l new contributions was the
attempt to fasten principal response
bllity for planning the war upon Rus
slas the only great nation whose power
has been broken by the Teutonic mill
tary and propaganda machines.
since Germany previously had con-
tended that England and France were
responsible for the hostilities. this
move b., the minister only served to
strengthen the belief that a main pur-
pose OF the speech was to invite peace
proposals from the West, although no
mention was made OF peace negotia-
tions.
The view here is that, having gotten
as far westward as the power of its
army was able to reach in the last
drive, and fearing a substantial loss
OF Italian territory occupied by Aus
trla as result Of the brilliant coun-
ter-offensive by General Diaz, Germany
was renewing it's old effort to hold it's
ill-gotten gains by proposing peace ne
gotiations before the tide began to set
too strongly against her, and at the
same time pacify the uneasy elements
in Germany and Austria, which have
been clamoring for peace.
The attempt to fasten upon Russia
principal responsibility for the war,
with the broad intimation that to Rus
sia must the Central Powers look for
compensation, instantly was interpre-
ted by Entente diplomats as designed
to encourage the pacifst elements in
the Entente countries to hope for more
favorable terms of peace than they
would otherwise have right to expect,
and, of course, to weaken their own
governments by their agitation for a
negotiated peace.

PARIS, June o5.-The new DISPOSE
tions of German artillery, the creation
of new ammunition dumps, and the
building Of field hospitals and aero
sdromes as we'll as sroat;;h ;deyelop-
,,nent; Of which. ] have had an npportM-
nifty of learning on a "trip along the
entire British front, finished yesterday,
indicate that repetition may be ex-
pected daily of the gigantic and de-
termined German effort last March and
April on the Somme and Lys.
Roughly speaking, there are now ap-
proximately one hundred and twenty
Boche divisions from Montdidier to the
sea, of which fifty are north of La
Bassee Canal. Ypres and the Bethune
sector, thirty north of the Somme,
Arras and the Amiens front and forty
south Of the Somme and Montdidier-
Amiens line. Before Bethune, Arras,
Amiens and Montdidier there are great
concentrations of guns and aeroplanes.
AS about forty-two other divisions
are on the Montdidicr. Rheims or Aisne
lines, it is clear the Boche intends to
strike with all the force he can sum-
mon, or, in word, with 162 or there
abouts of the 208 divisions he has on
the Western front.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-26
Troops Employed in
Overwhelming Numbers

In facing this threat it is profitable
to recall that in the attack from
March 81 to April II the Boche struck
the British on the Ar1nentieres and
Amiens front with about 120 divisions
and used against the French on the
Montdidier and Noyon line twenty-five
more divisions.
Against the fourteen divisions COM
posing the British Fifth Army, con-
corning the work and retreat Of which
much unintelligent and unfair COM
ment has been made, based on igno-
rance of the facts, the Germans
launched forty-eight divisions, with
which the Fifth Army, retreating and
overwhelmed, had to contend practi-
cally without reinforcements in time
to stem the Hun tide. By April these
British troops had taken prisoners rep
resenting fifty-three German divisions,
following and attacking without cessa-
ton. From April to the months end
the Germans used fifty divisions north
of the La Bassee Canal during the Lys
battle ranging on the Bethune and
Ypres front.
Thus the Germans employed against
the British from March 81 to May
about 40 divisions, while the Rheims,
Soissons or Aisne push against the
French, starting about May 81, was be-
gun with sixteen divisions and in
creased quickly to forty. which by June
II had mounted to sixty-six identified
as that battle line was extended tow
ard Montdidier.
The Germans won the initiative
from the Allies in March and tactical
position far better than was believed
possible before Russia's collapse, yet
their need remains nevertheless des-
pcrate.
The Ukraine has been a disappoint-
ment. with a paltry 10000 tons Of -four

counted on. Austria's failure in Italy

With the failure of the Austrian
drive on the Italian front, the
Cen raj Powers have launched a
new peace offensive.
DR.. Won ,Kuehlmann, German For
eign Secretary, speaking in the
Reichstag Monday, admitted that
victory on the battlefield was
hardly possible without recourse
to peace discussions. Refusing to
make concessions regarding Bel
GUM prior to negotiations based
on mutual confidence in one an
others chiyalry and honesty, he
insisted that, with Germany's
great resources, the Allied hone
of victory was only q dream.
Officials in Washington see in Won
kuehlmann's speech another cycle
in the German military and peace
drives, launched to weaken Allied
morale before the effect of Aus
tria's defeat sets in at home.
Along the Italian battlefront the AL
lied armies pursued the retreating
enemy, clearing the west bank of
the Piave, and gaining new
ground on the northern mountain
front. Three thousand additional
prisoners were taken by the AL
lies. Vienna claimed 10000 more
prisoners, making a total of &C.,
900.

LONDON, June 25.-In the House of
Commons to-day Premier Lloyd George
urged the need of settling the Irish
problem because it was increasing the
difficulties not merely of the British
government, but the difficulties of the
United States government in conducting
the war.
Lloyd George appealed to Sir Edward
Carson to show the same spirit he
displayed two years ago and subse-
quently, Gin using his very great abil-
tiles and unrivalled influence in Ulster
to try to secure some measure look
ing to the willing assent of the Irish
people to imperial unity"
The government, he said, stood by
the policy it had proclaimed on April
8, but in the method of administering
it the government must be advised by
the men it had entrusted with the ad-
ministration.
Edward Shoptt, chief secretary for
ireland, said he hoped to. satisfy the
House that the German plot in Ire
land was real and imminent danger
to the country. He said he was salts
fed that both the clergy and the Ma
tionalists had used uneir influence, re-
spectively, to assist in keeping the
peace.
Secretary Short said the government
had found that Germany was in touch
with Ireland, and that not only were
messages going to Ireland from Ger

from Irish sources to Germany.

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN NORTHERN ITALY, June 24.-"If
we only had American troops with US
now we would do still better work"
was the remark heard by the corre-
spondent on all sides to-day.
Italy's victory has been one of sci
ence over blind courage. The italians
from the start had more artillery
against them, but their fire was ways
accurate and quick, while the Austrian
fire was diffused. The Italian infantry
at times were opposed by five times
their number. yet the Austrian troops
were driven back, despite their splen-
did courage, which the Italian COM
mander in chief. General Diaz, has
called unfortunate valor."
The secret of the Italian victory
seems to lie in immediate counter at
tacks. which were carried out wherever
the enemy showed himself, local coun-
ter attacks being followed up by coun-
ter offensives all along the line. Thus
the enemy was never given any rest
and never allowed to repienish his

Reichstag yesterday that peace
could never be won on the battlefield.
but must be based in part at least
upon an exchange of views through
negotiations.
Confidence of the belligerents ia
one another's honesty and chivalry,
he said, must play an important
part in these parleys.
The great German drives, he said,
had given Germany the initiative on
the West front. He added that new
and greater successes might be ex-
pected there before autumn.
On the question of war aims DR..
Won Kuehlmann declared that Ger

Germany's Importance as a nation.
and freedom Of the seas.
DR.. Won Kuehlmann took up the
question of responsibility for the
war, declaring that Russia alone
was to blame for the outbreak of
hostilities. He insisted that no re-
sponsible German leaders had ever
had any hopes of gaining don,ina-
tion of Europe or the world BY
starting the conflict.
Discussing the case of Belgium.
he stated that Germany would have
to refuse to make any prior conces-
sions by stating her position as to
Belgium in way that would bind
her without similarly binding Ger
many's enemies.
Would Listen to Peace Proposals.
With reference to the peace ques-
ton, DR.. Won Kuehlmann quoted
from former Premier Asquith's
speech Of May 16 in which he said
that the British government would
not turn deaf ear to a peace pro-
posal if it was not couched in am
biguous terms.

German Plans in Doubt

Whether the Germans will con-
slider it advisable to alter their
Western campaign so it will in
clude the dispatch to the Italian
theatre of enough troops to under
take another offensive campaign re-
mains a question for early decision.
The fact that the Austrians could
concentrate heavy artillery along the
left bank Of the Piave and thus COM
mand considerable area on the
right bank saved the Austrians on
the south side from being ami
hilated. General Diaz had to con-
duct his pursuit with considerable
restraint, and thus the Austrians
were saved from complete disaster.
In the mountain regions the Ital-
ians increased their pressure and
several local attacks amounting al
most to major operations, yielded
large number of prisoners and much
booty. Everywhere in the noun
tains the Italians have strengthened
their positions, and the line is now
firmer than before the Austrians
launched their abortive attack.

Useful Gains Made

Around Monte Asoline the Italians
made several exceedingly useful ad
vances. General Wurms's army,
which advanced furthest in the early
attack, suffered heavily in retreat. as
the whole country is flooded, and it is
impossible to move guns or even
lorries.
Apparently the Archduke Joseph's S
army, which had the task of taking
Montello and capturing Treviso, suf-
fered least during the withdrawal,
though it paid a tremendous price
during the attack.
In the West the encmy's artillery
has grown very lively, especially on
the front before Amiens and around
Hazebrouck, while along the Aisne
the Germans launched an unsuccess-
full attack against the French north
east of Lepont.
The weather is improving and
aerial activity is increasing. Signs of
an early resumption on big scale
are not wanting. The possibility Of

MOBILE DRIVERS

All automobile drivers are re-
quested to park their cars in the
center of the street on Steele Ave
1t is hoped that all drivers will
assist in this matter and thus
avoid confusion. Owing to the
large number Of cars on the streets
at times it would be impossible to
get near the curb unless ears were
parked in this manner.
Your attention is also called to
the ordinance limiting the speed
at which cars may be driven on
the streets Of Hope. This limit is
ten miles per hour. There are a
number of drivers who persistent
ly violate this ordinance by driv-
ing at a reckless rate and they are
hereby warned that future Of
