 INTENSELY PATRIOTIC ADDRESS

your representative chosen by your unanimous vote, as the temporary representative of 500,O00 loyal, red- blooded, patriotic American Elks, (and thank God there are no other kind), I pledge you anew to this end and proclaim our slogan to be Win the War" We renew our obliga- tions of fidelity to our country. We place our all upon the altar of pa triotism. We tender our service, in fact dedicate our labor, our love, our substance and our lives to one single purpose and that purpose is to win the war; to win it as speedily as pos
 sible but not to cease our efforts as an Order and as individuals until it is completely won in such way as will give us forever the establishment of the great ideals for which we are
 fighting and will forever drive .Prus- siacn militarism and autocracy from the face of the earth. Until that is done we have not won this war, and to the attainment of that glorious end we dedicate our Order, it's members and it's service, until complete victory shall perch upon our banners and shall mark the result of our labors.
 Again, my brothers. I thank you.

6 U. s. DIVISIONS FIGHT WITH FOCH MARCH REPORTS Offensive to Continue AS Long As Germans Are
 Forced Back. DRIVE AGAINST
 BRITISH FADED Plans of German Staff Did Not Eventuate As
 Expected.

Washington, July 20-Six of Gen. Pershing's divisions, or about 100000 American troops. are fighting with the French in the present offensive in the Aisne- -Marne district, Gen. March, chief of staff, advised members of the Senate military committee today at their weekly conference today.
 The Franco-American offensive will continue as long as it is possible to force the Germans back, Gen. March said.
 Gen. March told the Senators also that the Germans had been prepar- ing for an offensive against the Brit ish to the north on the western battle front, to be simultaneous with their last offensive against the Franco American front
 For some reason, Gen. March said, the drive against the British was post poned and that is the probable ex- planation given for the British policy of not attacking the Germans while the French and Americans are en- gagged in their offensive.

GERMANS STILL
 HOPE ID WIN AND RULE WORLD

London. July 2O.-Despite their four years of fighting, some of the German prisoners of war still are ob- sessed by the German idea of con quering the world. That unadulter- ated Prussianism still exists in the German ranks is the conclusion of one British officer who has interviewed a number of the German prisoners. One of them he describes as 'an intelIi- gent university man." The British officer quotes their conversation as follows:
 II do not wish to insult you," said the German, but you English are weIl-intended fools. We who govern in Germany are not like you. We govern the fools; the fools govern you"
 Your principles are sweeping" re- piled the Briton. ITO come down to practice. what have you to say about the guilt of beginning the war;"
 "Guilt?" demanded the GerlAan; "it was a glory. I claim it for Germany"
 That is hardly your official view"

 purpose behind all 1his," asked the British officer.
 'I do, as in aothing else,' replied the German. The Prussian pur- pose is God. There is no other Prussia will rend the veil of the tenn pie, but she will destroy to create Against Prussia might the world as it exists today will fall in ruins, but Prussia will build Q better and more virile world in it's place. Strength only will survive. The life of men is naturally a fight. The strongest in ' force and cunning will live.' Tt will be going back to the Flood" said the Briton. Prussia is the Flood" And when the world is drowned virtue and all such weaknesses will go with it?
 The old virtue was womanish," ;" said the prisoner. "The new virtue is strength"
 "In that blessed future will war reign triumphant? i Life is war--all of life that Is healthy. Peace is only striving for mastery with other weapons That is the law of nature" i And everyone will fight till every- one is dead?"
 "The weakest will go under. They are the disease. The stronger will live; and after that the stronger and stronger, till there is perfect health. !" i But it may be that Prussia will keep a few slaves?''

lies broke through, it admits that tbe German lines have been driven hack and it was necessary to throw in large reserves to keep the Allies from making a large hole in the German defenses between the Aisne and the Marne. No mention is made 0 American troops.
 Elsewhere on the Sossons-Chateau Thierry-Pheims triangle the fighting has died down. The situation here with the Allies holding firmly. depends on the outsome of the stroke on the west. Berlin's view of the fighting there is that the Germans had to mt down strong Allied attacks on Thurs day. Seemingly, therefore, the Ger mans have given up further attempts astride the Marne and they have not reacted against the French attack which drove them westward from Montvoisin.
 Further violent fighting is antfcf- pated in the battle triangle, as it is not improbable that the Germans will make every effort to nullify Gen. Foch's strategy and prevent the Allies from wiping out the salient between Solssons and Rheims, which becomes more gravely endangered as the French and Americans move forward The German offensive begun Monday IS in a bad way and the enemy will i make furious attempts to save the | reputation of the crown prince, aI- | ready seriously marred by the suc- | cessful Allied counter blow. Berlin say- 20,00C prisoners were taken in
 the four t.ays beginning Monday. The battle line is not yet clearly
 outlined, but runs nearly straight
 north from Torcy to Chauden, where it bulges@ortheastward toward sois- sons. The greatest gain has beer l about seven miles on the north. In brilliant local operation in

Washington, July 2O.---A statement issued today by Rear Admiral Pal mer, acting secretary of the navy, comments the exemplary conduct of officers and men of the San Diego, citing particularly the courageous be- havior of Capt. Christy, who was the last to leave the ship.
 As the ship was turning over thA captain made his way over the side and jumped overheard. He and the executive officers were cheered by the men in the boats and as the cruiser went down the men sang the Star Spangled Banner"
 The statement disclosed that five or six mines were destroyed last night in the vicinity of the sinking and that no rerSort has been received of a sub marine near there.
 That there was little if any loss of life is indicated by the fact that the ship was abandoned in gnod order.

 PLACE IN FRANCE

The first United States Navy we'd ding in France was solemnized on Saturday, June IS, in the Y NJ. C. A. navy hut at K, the only Y. M. c. A. building overseas devoted entirely to the welfare of sailors. The bride was Miss Mildred M. Blair, second daughter of MT. and Mrs. Chauncey Blair, of 4S3O DrexeI Boulevard, Chi cago. The bridegroom was Ensign H. Barlow Farr of 114 West 10th street, New York city, a member of class of 1910 at Princeton.
 The marriage was the happy cul- imitation of a wartime romance. Miss Blair for several months had been serving as "canteen girl' in the Y. M. c. A. navy hut selling choco- late and cigarettes to the sailors and the young ensign had, meanwhile been chief of shore patrol atSthe port of

 Steady progress againGt increased enemy resistance, resulting in fighting of the fercest nature, attends further attacks by French and American forces on the front between the Aisne and the Marne.
 Around SoissOns. on the north, the German defense is stiffening and the forward movement apparently is much slower than on Thursday, when the biggest gains of the day were made there. In the center and on the south, however, the Allied, line has been advanced about two miles, mak- ing the avera geAfurther progress about . ] 14 miles.
 Soissons still holds out, although it is believed that its fall is certain. The Germans keep their troops south of the Marne, but a withdrawal there becomes more certain as the Allies movo forward northwest of Chateau Thierry.
 Gen. Mangin's advancing line, which had a decided bulge south of the Aisne, is strengthening out. On an eight mile front astride the Cured and Savieres, in the center, theAAllies have advanced more than two miles capturing important heights. Farther south the gain from around Neuilly St. Front to west of Chateau Thierry was not as great, but the Germans lost valuable positions.
 Officially it Is declared that the FrancoAmerican troops have captur- Cd in excess of 17,000 prisoners and more than 36O guns. Unofficial re- ports in Paris are to the effect that the captures are much in excess ot lthe official estimates. Much materia, jnot yet enumerated, and many hun. dreds of machine guns also have beer taken.

HUNS EXPLAIN
THEIR RETREAT

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 21-A Berlin
dispatch from semi-official German
news agency says that the Anglo
French successes are attributed to
their surprise attacks and the pres
ence of a thick fog over the battle
field. 1t adds:
Notwithstanding the exceedingly
favorable ground for the movement of
great masses of troops and the opera
lions of tanks, the initial success of
the Anglo-French armies under Field
Marshal Haig have not surpassed the
limits which usually results from a
first days offensive" the agency de-
clares.
Another semi-official utterance tele-
graphed from Berlin, says Field Mar
shall Haig undertook the attack to
restore the badly furnished military
prestige of Great Britain, and asserts
that "as usual the brunt of the battle
was not borne by the English, but by
Canadians and Australians"
