AUSTRIANS DEFEAT
CZECH PEACE MOVE
House Refuses to Vote on Resolution
Cordcnning Germany and
Miiitarist Faction.

Amsterdam, July pa resolution
declaring in favor of an immediate
peace without annexations and in
IDENTITIES was offered in the Austrian
lower house Saturday by Deputy
Stanek, on behalf of the Czech league.
The resolution declared a continual
ton of the war is useless from the
standpoint of both humanity and po-
litical utility. 1t asserted all peoples
should have the right to self-deter-
minatiOn and asked that the house
demand that AUSTRIA Hungary oppose
the anneXationiSt and imperialiStic pol
icy which had gained the upper hand
in Germany and try itself to find a
way to find 1t democratic peace.
The house, says a Vienna dispatch
to the Vossische Zeitung of Berlin,
which reports the incident, rejected
the resolution as inadmissible for
submission to q vote
Deputy Stanek said the Czech
people would become great and
strong despite the prosecutions of a
narroW-minded government. The
Czechs never before were so united,
SO ready to fight SO certain of vic
tory. They are united in firm will
and never again will bear q foreign
yoke. The Czecho-Sloyak state was a
fact which could not be averted

Paris, July 29.-Under the irresist-
ible pressure of the Allied troops the
enomy's retreat continued yesterday,
according to the Havas correspondent
at the front. The average advance Of
the Allies during the day was from
three to five kilometers. It is as yet
impossible TO determine the limit of
the retreat but it is probable that it
will stop on the wooded heights along
the Vesle river.
On the left of the Allied line the
Germans made great efforts to hold
up the army under Gen. Degoutte,
blowing up bridges and footbridges
to Fere- -en-Tardcnois and contendlng
for territory foot by foot. The enc
my's stubbornness was useless and the
Allied troops entered the town by the

Storage Base.

With the American Army on the
Aisne Marine Front, July 29, $3.50 a.
m (By the Associated Press)-French
and American troops were slashing
vigorously at the stiffening German
rear early today with some prospect
that before night the advancing line
would be close to the river Andre
which now is only a few kilometers
away.
The German base at Fere- -en-Tar-
denOis has been occupied.
From Rheims the line now extends
almost straight southwest to Olizy-et-
Violaine. The forest of Ris now is
behind the Allies and they are hold
ing Champvoisy to the northeast of
the forest. In this region the Ger
mans have the higher ground and
have some advantage in the artillery
duel.

POLICE And Marines
HALT RACE RIOTIN(I
Whites and Blacks in Phila-
delphia Clash, Two
Being Killed.

Philadelphia, July 29--Three hum
dred policemen and 60 marines were
on duty today to prevent a recurrence
of race riots in Philadelphia In which
two men were killed and several score
injured yesterday.
The trouble occurred in the section
between Washington avenue and Die
kinson street, TWenty-fifth and Thir-
tieth streets which contains many
small thoroughfarcs inhabited by ne
goes.
Armed battles were waged from
early Sunday morning until last mid
night between gangs Of negroes on
one side and white residents, with the
police and members of the Home De-
Tense reserve striving vainly to pre-
serve order.
The men killed were Hugh Laverly
and Thomas McVay, police patrol
be enlarged, as several of the persons
wounded are in q serious condition.
According to the police the disorder
was result of an attempt by negroes
to encroach on streets which up to
this time have been occupied solely by
white families
A negro who was killed today had
! been arrested by two policemen and
tried to escape by slashing them with
razor. AS he was being taken isto
a police station someone in the crowd
fired a shot which struck him in the
back.
There were other minor disturb
ances today which resulted in negro
and a boy being sent to a hospital.

FOR FEW PRISONERS TAKEN

west and south and are holding their
positions.
Farther toward Rheims the Allies
continued to advance toward Vllle-en-
Tardenois, into which their van-l
guards probably now have penetrated
It is explained that the small num-
bers of German prisoners taken is due
to the fact that the Allies have ad-
vanced with extreme caution and the
Germans left only small forces to COW
er their retreat. These forces were
given orders to hold on to the last so
that the main body might withdraw.
Thus the enemy's losses relatively are
heavier in dead than in prisoners. On
the other hand the Germans left con-
siderable booty, especially engineering
machinery, munitions depots and a
number of cannon which they dis
mantled before abandoning.

German Retreat Continues.

London, July 29.-The German re-
treat is continuing along the whole
line. the Allies closely in pursuit, ac-
cording to news from the fighting
area in the Soissons- Rheims salient
received up to noon.
The Germans have succeeded in
checking to a, certain extent but not
in stopping the French advance.
The French arc on the north bank
Of the Ourcq. and to the east they
have secured the whole road between
Rheims and Dormans. The Ger
mans are stubbornly resisting and are
burning villages.
Heavy fighting still is in progress
to the south OF Soissons, in the
neighborhood of Buczacy. SO far the
French have made no progress there.
Villages between Soissons and Ba-
ZOches, about 1 4 miles to the east are
on fire leading to the belief that the
Germans may intend a further re-
treat.
Since yesterday the Allies have ad-
vanced two and three miles on 20
mile front.
The enemy has definitely abandoned
the line of the Ourcq and there is lit
tie doubt now that he will go back
beyond the NeSlo to the InC oO miles
long between Soissons and Rheims,
which probably is we'll entrenched
and has good lines of communlca-
ton.
The German retirement has been
quite orderly and deliberate. SO far
the taking of only four guns has been
reported.

ENGLISH MUNITION
PLANTS RUN AGAIN
Men and Women Who Remained At
Work Give Some Strikers
Warm Reception.

Birmingham, July 29.-Acting on
q resolution passed by their colleagues
yesterday, the strikers in munition
works here returned to their places
of employment this morning. AL
though their hospiIity to the embargo
upon skilled labor is unabated, the
promise of an inquiry into the situa-
tion has reconciled the strikers to the
inevitable. Some of them had a
hostile reception from the men and
women who had remained at work.
1t is expected the action taken by
the workers in Coventry and Bir1ning
ham will have d soothing effect in
other districts where the men have
been threatening TO lay down their
tools.

With the American Army On the
Alsne- Marine Front, July 20, (By the

crack divisions of Bavarian guards
the Teutons today settled down to the
hardest resistance they have yet dis
played against the American forces
north of the River Ourcq.
Although heavily hammered, the
Americans replied in like manner
along the river and the fighting shift
ed back and forth through Sergy,
three miles southeast of F'ere-en-
Tardenois. Up to midday the Ger
mans had been unable to force a re-
crossing of the Ourcq "
New Britain herald., 1918-07-29

/
More than half of the pocket be-
| tween the Marie and Vesle rivers has
been cleared of Germans and the
Allies are driving the enemy still
farther north.
Important gains are being made by
the French and Americans on the
south and the French and British on
the east. The German retirement.
which is covered by heavy rear guard
actions, has been we'll conducted.
Pressure on the western and eastern
sides south of scissors and southwest
of Rheims, respectively, has been
WithstOOd and the mouth of the
pocket is still large enough to enable
the greater part of the enemy force to
reach Nesle.
Fere-en-Tardenois, the great Ger
man base northeast of Chateau
Thierry, has fallen and Ville-en-Tar-
denois east of Fere, is within the
grasp of the advancing Allies. Almost
all of the DOrmans- Rheims road again
is in the Allied hands.
No great captures of prisoners have
been reported. The Germans are using
artillery and machine guns to stay the
Allies. AS the French and Americans,
who have advanced most rapidly,
press northward the German resist
ance has become stiffer. The enemy
also is making great use of his ar
tillery on the heights north of scissors
and Rheims and is subjecting the
sides of the pocket to an enf1lading
bonn bardment of great violence.
North of Oulchy and north Of
Bligny the Germans have maintained
their positions stoutly, despite steady
hammering of the Allies. Sergy, held
by the Americans, represents an ad-
vance of 18 miles from Chateau
Thierry in ten days. The forward
movement Sunday was as great as five
miles at some points but averaged
slightly more than two miles along the
front from Oulchy to Bligny

While the enemy loss in men may
not be great, the Allies probably will

which the Germans have been unable

Fight for ViIlc-cn-Tarden

With the French Army in France,
July 20 (morning) BY The Associat-
ed Press.-The forward pressure of
the Allies was continued uninterrupt-
edly throughout Sunday. On Saturday
the progress of the Allied forces of
determined resistance still was very
strong.
In the streets of Fere- e-en-Tarde
there was very severe hand to hand
fighting, but the Allies eventually OBJ
tanned the upper hand.
Late last night fighting was still in
progress for the mastery of Vile en-
TardenOis, the German strong point
on the southeasterly side of the sail
ent, but the Allies gradually were gain
ing the ascendancy here. They are es-
tablished in the southern portion Of
the town, having beaten off all efforts
of the Germans to dislodgc them.
After conquering Fere-en-Tardenois
the Allies next had before them The
difficult task of crossing the river
Ourcq in the face of the strongest Ger
man fire. Happily the river is running
very low just now, for not a bridge
was left intact
The Allies succeeded in overcoming
all obstacles here and secured a foot
hold on the northern bank, where they
present a serious menace to the
enemy.
Further to the southeast near the
forest, towards the center Of the
pocket, both infantry and the artiI-
lery were heavily engaged.
Allies Capture Champvoisy.
In the region north of the Ris forest
there were some very furious combats
Which lasted several hours and re-
suited in the Allies gaining possession
of ChampvoisyA Then Roncheres was
reached by advanced guards. Farther
to the east cavalry came into ac-
ton in the Meuiniere Wood and at
Villers-A Agron-Aiguizy.
All along this part of the line the
enemy threw great quantities of gas
shells, the fumes of which remained
for q long time among the woods
Near Romigny and Bligny the
Allies got over the Dormans- Rheims
main road.
The advance called forth the great
est precautions here because Of the
guns under cover of the small woods
in this region. On the eastern flank
however, the allies now have got he,
yond the wooded country and on the
plateau.
