HUN BEGINS TO TALK
DEFENSIVE" WAR
MEMBER KAISER'S STAFF
SAYS WE CAN HOLD OUT
LONG TIME"

Amsterdam, Sept. 8. (Sunday)-ln
a lecture on the war in Berlin, Cen
eral Won Freytag- g-Loringhoven, dep
uty chief of the general staff, con-
tended that the present crisis on the
western front was less serious than
many others during the coures of the
war.
The position we occupied before
the enemy's counter offensive began,
was the result OF an abortiye OF
fensive and therefore unsuitable for
defense whose aim was the eject
i've economizing OF forces the gen
eral is quoted as saving in dis
patch from Berlin. The positions
had not been consolidated, as trench
warfare demands.
General Won Freytag- Lorinehoyen
added that nothing like a decision
was in prospect. He said
The thing now is to push things
so that Great Britain and America
recognize our invincibility in de-
iersive war. We lack neither men,
war material nor raw material to
hold out for long time. We must,
however not slacken in our deter
m:nation which must remain alive
in the army and at home. All that
might divide us must be postponed
until the end OF the war.

After pausing for several days
along the line west and northwest
of Cambria. where the Germans set
tied themselves last week behind the
Canal du Nord, the British today
are reported attacking section OF
this line in considerable strength.
What is unofficially described as a
formidable thrust was developed
this morning by Field Marshal
Haig's forces along the Arras-Cam-
brai road which crosses the canal
about six miles from the outskirts
OF Cambria.
1t is definitely reported, however,
that on the line to the south, the
British are pressing forward toward
St. Quentin, and now are only five
miles from the Hindenburg line in
this area.
Successes also have been scored by
the French in the St. Quentin region
where their line joins the British.
There have been indications that
the Germans intended making a
stand along the Crozat canal. This
plan appears already to have been
frustrated by the French, however

Ludendorff's supposed intention.
No belief. however. is expressed
here bur that the allies still are hold
ing the initiative and will compel
the enemy to continue his retire
ment. 1t is pointed out that al
though the Germans continue to
hold the Messines ridge, forming the
northern bulwark of their line, the
French seem to be steadily maneu-
vering them from before the Laon-
LaFere positions and St. Gobain
forest, which forms the southern
buttress of the Hindenburg line and
there are no indications of this

(By the Associated Press)

Stockholm, Sunday, Sept. S-The
Associated Press correspondent at
Moscow, who left Russia with the
recently arrived party and is filing
this dispatch, can testify that Amer
leans in Russia were treated 10 an
nouncements that the Indians were
opposing conscription over all
America.
The people of the United States
also were described as starving, and
predictions were made that allied ac-
tivities on the western front would
fail because the United States and
Canada could not furnish the nee
essary bread
The lack Of reliable information
possessed by Finland and Sweden
concerning internal affairs in Rus
sa amazed the American and ltal-
ian refugees who have just arrived
here from Russian territory. They
were likewise much surprised 10 find
Finland and Sweden in such a nor
nal condition.
The bolShevik and German news
papers and propagandists have the
field all to themselves in supplying
Russian with what information they
choose.
Russia is given little foreign news
except that which indicates weak
ness on the part OF the entente
powers and the strength OF the GEN.
tral empires. The bolsheviki have
not only suppressed all the opposi-
tion newspapers, but the govern
ment now actually prints and CON
trolls the few journals that still ap-
pear in Petrograd and Moscow.
Washington, Sept. "a dispatch
from Consul General Harris at Ir-
kutsk, dated Sept. 4, and received at
the state department today, said an
unofficial report had just reached
here that the bolsheviki had prob
ably retaken Samar. If this report
is true, the consul general added, Or
enburg, Simbirsk and other import
ant Cllles Ill tlldt QlStllCl are III udu-
ger.
Since Sept. 3, the message said, no
communication had been held with
Iekaterlnburg.
Vice Consul Hadley at Samara,
telegraphed that on August 25, the
bolsheviki were gaining strength on
the front west OF Nolga from Prem
sa to a point near kazan, due to the
presence there OF a large artillery
force under German direction.
