Decrease Their Efforts to Drive
Germans From Scissors
Rheims Salient.
GUNS POUNDING AWAY
Destruction Of Further Villages Which
They Intend to Evacuate Is lndi-
cIated by Great Fires Behind
German Lines.

London, Aug. 1.-The Allied armies
on the Soissons-R Rheims front have
~noticeably decreased their efforts to
clear the salient of Germans, due
either to WEAKNESS after two weeks
OF incessant fighting or because of the
great increased strength in man-pow-
er and positions OF the enemy forces
before them.
II the pause In the offensive is at
tributable to WEAKNESS, the armies OF
the German crown prince also must be
worn out by the pressure they have
been under for the fortnight, for not
withstanding the fact that huge rein
forcements were SEM to them In their
hour of dire peril. they have lacked
the hardness to endeayor to throw
back their antagonists and recoup
their losses.
Only Big Guns Are Active.
The fourteenth day of the great Al
lied offensive, which has resulted in
driving back the Germans from the
Marne region northward across the
Ourcq river and in materially bending

Enemy H~atterlna American.
A watchful eye is being kept by the
Germans on the Americans standing
1t the apex of the battle line near Fere-
en-Tardenois and the enemy guns are
showering their positions with great
quantities of high explosives and gas
shells. The enemy also continues to
guard with huge electives the eastern
and western tanks of the salient to
ward or possible surprise attacks.
Whether the Germans have chosen
the spot where ultimately they will
face about and give battle to the Allied
forces has not yet become apparent.
Likewise, whether their retreat finally
has ended Is not known. Great fires
behind the lines, possibly might in
dcate the destruction OF further VII.

Kaiser Issues Proclamation Urg.
ing Army and Navy to
Greater Efforts.
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
German Emperor Asserts He Is Posi-
tive His Military Forces Will Be
Able to "FoiI the Desperate e.
forts of the Enemy"

Amsterdam, Aug. "A proclamation
addressed to the German army and
navy. dated Aug. /, has been issued by
Emperor William, saying they are fac
ing the hardest struggle of the war
and expressing his own and the coun.
try's confidence that they will be able
to foil the desperate efforts of the
enemy" says a Berlin dispatch re-
ceived here. Emperor Williams proc.
lamation reads:
Serious years of war lie behind
you. The German people, convinced
of its just cause, resting on its hard
sword and trusting in Gods gracious
help, has with its faithful allies, con
fronted a world of enemies. Your VIC
torious fighting spirit carried the war
in the first year into the enemy coun-
try and preserves the home land from
the horrors and devastation Of war.
'In the second and third years of
the war. you, by your destructive
blows, broke the strength of the
enemy in the East. Meanwhile your
comrades in the West offered a brave
and victorious front TO enormously SUI
perior forces.
AS the fruit of these victories, the
fourth rear of the war has brought
us peace in the East. In the West the
enemy was heavily bit by the force of
your assault. The battles won in re-
cent months count among the highest
deeds of fame in German history.
You are in the midst of the hard
est struggle. The desperate efforts OF
the enemy will. as hitherto, be foiled
by your bravery. OF that | am GER
tain. and with me the entire father
land"

Washington, Aug. with the city

the line of the Vesle river Is reached.
In the minds of many officers there
was a doubt as to whether the enemy
will be able to make a stand on the
vesle or whether the onrush of the
British, American and French troops
will not carry them across the Vesle
and within a few days force the Ger
mans to withdraw to the heights OF
the Aisne.
