admissions publicly made in Austria
which have caused. great dependency

The admissions are made i'm the Ar

French and allied victory on the west
front has visibly produced Il profound
impression among the people The
paper states:
'The assaults of the allies against
our new front have in no way dimin

which gives one cause TO think. With
adverSaries Ike the Russians. the
technical superiority of the Germans
was such that the numerical superio-
rity of the Russians was of no import

quite different.
do not let us forget that the
French and The Anglo-Saxons are side
by side with the Germans. the most
civilized peoples II the world. and
that they are in a position to turn all
modern technical inventions to their

Believed Germans Must Retreat.

Paris, Aug. THE determined at
tacks which the Germans have been
delivering against the allied advanced
guards north of the FeSle have failed
to disturb the temporary sterilization
of the Nesle front. The allied COM
mand is retaining the initiative in
these operations.
Much Importance is attached 10 the
operations reported further to the
north along the line, between Breaches
and Mariset, north of Montdidier.
These are pointed to as direct men
ace TO the junction point of the ar
mics of General Won Hutler and
Crown Prince Rupprecht
The German rearguard is standing
determinedly along the heights com
handing the Vesle river crossings,
where the French light elements
which have passed beyond the river
are encountering them, says the Ha-
vas agency's review of the battle
front situation. The Germans are
trying to prevent further allied cross
ings.
There is general agreement among
the military critics that the Germans
will not be able to remain long in the
region between the Vesle and the
Aisne, where their position is consid-
cred untenable.
THE German position between the
two rivers" says LIE Journal, lis a
critical one, being shallow and swept
by the French artillery along the en-
tire front and at some points on the
TANKS. Its communications are I'M
safe, and it will be dangerous for the
Germans to make their stand below
the Aisne instead of going behind that
river. The result would probably be
enormous losses for the enemy.
The Germans are trying to bring
about Il quieting down of things III
this sector. but they cannot afford Ia
overlook the fact that their opponent
has something to say as to this. A
retreat is more easily begun than end

Germans or German-Americans from
the United States across the Lower
California border of Mexico.

Reports indicate that for months
groups of about a half hundred Ger
mans, changing every week or ten
days, have been found in Mexicali, a
torrid little collection of baked
Shacks. 1t is just across the border
from Calexico, Cal, and about fifty
miles from Yuma, AriZ., on a spur OF
the Southern Pacific. The town is
;nhabittet by shifting population OF
Mexicans. Indians. japanese and
women with few apparent means OF
making living.

town before the war, cOngregate at g

Government officials profess not TO
know how the Germans reached the
town from the United States, since the
railroad from Yuma and Calexfco is
carefully watched. It is suspected
they crossed the border at number
of points in the sparsely settled com
munities of the Imperial valley or
the desert through which the Cal1for-
mia Mexico boundary runs. 1t Is al"
most impossible TO patrol every mile
of the foreign boundary country.
Most Of the Germans in Mexicali
are believed 10 have been part of the
defunct German propaganda system
in the United States In the face Of
prosecution and the breakdown of
their system, it is believed they have
scurried to Mexico.
