Hoping Against Hope.

Amterdam, July 27.-Expressing
the view that the present battle be-
tween the Aisne and the Marne riv-
ers must end in a preliminary de-
cision, the military critic of the
Vossische Zeitung of Berlin says:
''It cannot be to our interest to
allow the war to drag on into the
years. 1919 and 1920, as the British
above all desire, because they hope
by then that American millions will
have reached Europe and that the
Americans by force of numbers will
be able to achieve a break-thru.
"An American danger is facing
us, but with the decisive moment
an attack by our reserves will bring
victory"

Hun Facing Disaster,

With the British Armies in
France, July 29.-Barring the
worst hard luck imaginable for the
Allies the German armies never
again will be able TO drive forward
with the punch they carried when
they opened their series of 1918
drives last March.
Today the starting point of the
fifth year of the war it seems to me
to be merely a question of time be-
fore a forced retreat to defensive
positions will have to be carried out
by the Boche, in the hope that it
will be possible to obtain peace be-
fore the stream of arriving Ameri-
cans SO swells the forces of the AL
lies that an unconditional surren-
der will be forced,
1t is an open secret here that IL
is becoming increasingly difficult to
fill the German field depots. Boys
of the younger German classes can
not be counted in the same class
with the Americans who are daily
arriving in such numbers as to COM
pletely nullify Germany's new crop
Documentary evidence in the
hands of the British army show thai
Gen. Ludendorff fears political re-
suits at home from too quickly
showing boys into battle.
The German people who reluc

tion in battle by these youths tC

foreseen in the hope of bringing
about an early peace, are beginning

Admission of Defeat.


The Allied forces came near
pocketing the Germans on the war
front in France last week. They be-
gan widespread retreat It's admis-
sion of defeat. We hope it is the
beginning of the end.
h The right bank of the Marne has
been cleared of the Germans.
Paris, France, July 27.-Further
advances were scored by the French
in the region Immediately to the
north of the Marne in the district
where the Germans have been cling
ing to the river. The French lines
were advanced to the north of Por-
to-Abinson.
On the Champagne front the
French carried out local operation
south of the mountain without a
name, as a result of which their
lines were advanced nearly two
thirds of a mile on a front of ap-
proximately two miles. The French
took 90 prisoners in this operation

Further Advances scored.

With the American Army on the
Isne- -Marne Front, July 27.-The
Franco-American forces on the
front northeast of Chateau Thierry
have driven the Germans almost
entirely out of the wooded area,
which they have been so stubbornly
defending.
The Allied pressure is being con-
stantfy maintained, and early to-
day the punishment of the enemy
by artillery was resumed with ad-
ded vigor. Under the cover of the
guns the Franco-American troops
again began crawling forward.
Persistent as was the German
rearguard defense, however, the en-
emy's most intense efforts to hold
his lines are still being put forth on
his flanks in the Reims and Sois-
sons regions.
The Germans were yielding slow
ly at midday along the southern
arc of the Marne salient. The
American troops in this sector con
tinued pressing forward with artil
lery support against a heavy Ger
man .machine-gun fire. The French
have also moved their positions
ahead somewhat, with every indi
cation that their progress woult
continue.
The Germans were still occupied
today in shifting the main body o
their forces northward.

Big Guns silent.

Paris, July 27. The number OF
German prisoners captured by the
Allies since the beginning of the
counter offensive is placed at
10000.
American troops have discovered
at Breezy, north of Chateau Thierry'
emplacements of German superior
cannon which bombarded towns be-
hind the front, and, perhaps, Paris
Breezy is little more than seven
miles directly north of Chateau
Thierry, which is 45 miles east
northeast of Paris. 1t would be
possible to lombard Paris from Bre-
cy, as the Germans fred shells

balm, when the big guns were firs'
used to harass the French capital,
When the German offensive on
the Marne began on July is, the en-
