 Dr. Frank Bohn, an American of Ger man ancestry who has written many illum- mating articles interpreting the spirit and design of the Pan-Germanists, published in the New York Times recently striking article in which he reports the views of some intimate friends of his who, although Germans, are now expatriated and living in Switzerland All four of these men agree in saying that the only salvation for Ger many lies in her military defeat The first of these friends has been, says Doctor Bohn, for many years distinguished leader in the industrial life of Germany. He IS quoted as saying:
 ''The number of people in Germany that respects anything but force is utterly neg Hgible For twenty years l have wished to join a democratic party in Germany, and work toward disarmament, anti-imperial- ism and republican institutions, but there was no such party for me to join. l would have joined even the smallest group. But there was no group which had the courage to organize. am hopeless, ut terly hopeless about Germany. Only com plete defeat can give her new beginning.

VICE CHANCELLOR SPEAKS

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 12. - That Germany might restore Belgium with out conditions or indemnities in case no other country would be better situ- ated as regards Belgium than Ger many was the belief expressed today by Frederick Won Payer, the imperial vice chancellor of Germany in a speech delivered at Stuttgart
 Herr Von Payer was speaking on the depression felt in Germany and allied countries which he attributed not only to recent military events but to the prospect of a fifth war win ter
 "If we could be sure that no other country would be better situated as regards Belgium, than ourselves" said Herr Von Payer, T believe I could venture to say that Belgium could be restored without conditions and with out indemnities."
 With regard to the appearance of tie American troops in the war, the vice chancellor said:
 Nobody will deny that .he coop eratiun Ct American troops on the front means a heavy and cver-iEcreas- iLg burden for us. Our enemies, how ever, forget that if the Americans now appear by hundreds of thousands at the front, we have already put mil lions Of Russians, Scrbians and BOu- manians out Of action, ard the entente vii not succeed in winning them back"

 been closed in to less than fifteen miles.
 Through that narrowing gap the German forces in the depth of the salient must escape; ano co wNndraw without confusion that might turn the retreat into a rout, they must shake off the French forces which are bat tering them all along the St. Mihiel front
 On the face of tonight's reports, of ficers here believed there was good promise that General Pershing might succeed in closing the neck of the bas and trapping a considerable force.
 The American attack as it now shapes up, is a major action. it is said, and there is no doubt that the strong est American forces yet employed are engaged Possibly a quarter of mil lion American troops either are in action or in close reserve
 The advance of the eastern jaw rests on a wide base Reports indicate tnat it had broken through at the first rush until General Pershing could fling out cavalry screens on both sides tO prevent counter attacks on his Hanks T-e very width of his battle lines, however. tends to protect him and also to give his initial thrust the

Recent reports of wholesale massacres and pillage and destruction and arson in Moscow and Petrograd under orders ol lhe Bolsheviki leaders are only what might be expected from such rule And you will also notice that, while the dispatches had Lenine and Trotzky on the run or on a German battleship some weeks ago, thcy are still in power in Russia, or what is left of Russia. Only the allied bayonets will ever loosen the hold of these fanatics i'd cruel traitors from the throat of Russia. The Russian people lack the energy and the cohesion to accomplish this deliverancc. The ruin, riot and rapine must continue Conditions will grow much worse in Russia before they will get better. This column is not inclined to expend much sympathy upon a people who will accept'a Trotzky and German half-breed like Lenine for leaders. They are reaping where they have sown. They threw down an organized tyrany only to set up an unorganized tyr any in its place. And another thing; pres ent conditions in Russia are as little pleas ing to the Germans as they are to the allies. Be sure of that. In the midst of this reign of terror the Hun will get little food or ma terial or cannon fodder from Russia.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 12.-The i'm pression. prevalent in many quarters that members of congress are subject to draft, was removed today by rul- ing of General CrOwder, read to the house in answer to an inquiry by Rep resentative Gard of Ohio. Congress men, General CrOwder's letter stated, are absolutely and peremptorily ex- empt by statute from the draft law and cannot waive their exemption" !" He added, however, that upon resigna- tion from congress, members would automatically become subject to the draft, if within the age limits.

We hear so much about war work now days and all have so much of it to do or to he lp with our dollars, that we are prone to lose sight of the work that must be done at home for the home folks Take the Y. M. C. A., for instance The Y IS doing a great work in France and at the army camps all over this country, but 1t Is i'm perative that the Y be kept strong and un- impaired in the home town. Its work at home for the home workers is just as es- sential as 1t ever was before the war, if not more so. Bisbee has one of the strong est and most practical and beneficial Y. M C. A. homes and organizations in the coun- try. It is maintained solely by its member ship fees and the aid extended by the min ing companies of the district With so many of its active members gone to war the bur den upon those at home Is naturally greater Its expenses are higher, too. Nearly every business man in the district is d member, more or less active, but every business man knows well the practical good done by the ' here in a score of different ways and few but that derive personal benefit in one way or another from this institution From many cities, large and small, over the coun- try, the call for help has been sounded for the Y because of the war Not for Y war work but for the home Y and its home work. The Warren district, and especially the business men who are members, can not afford to have the Bisbee f lag for a moment in its fine work for the district at large and for the working men and busi- ness and professional men generally for lack of support in both friendliness and money.

BRITIsHER DESCRIBES FIGHT.

at<' NTlfNltW A4edStu WlitJ
 LONDON, Sept. 12.-The Daily Mail correspondent at the American front sends the following description of the battle along the St. Mihiel sector:
 "The first American army under the personal command of General Persh- ing for the first time went into action today in the St. Mihiel salient. Never before has there been such a large concentration of American troops for one operation and never before have the Americans been in such complete control of their operations.
 "The event had long been anticipat- ed. Some people assigned to it grand lose objectives. but in reality the at tack is for limited objectives only.
 At 1 o'clock Thursday morning the artillery preparation began with a roar that could be heard many miles away and all night it arose and fell with peculiar fluctuations From all the roads that ran parallel the flashes of innumerable guns told of the impend- ing assault Towards 5 O'clOck-the hour of the attack-the firing became even more rapid and its sullen tone mingled strangely with the sound Oi the rain.
 At dawn whole fleets of tanks. manned by strong young Americans and French, were to be seen moving out of their shelters to lead the at tack. They numbered on, but the Ger mans offered little opposition. The American infantry followed in open order, blowing through the mud, but they were little troubled by the feeble artillery resistance.
 At one point, near Seicheprey, where the Americans had previously fought desperately with the Germans. machine gun and automatic fire swept down upon the Tanks right flank. but the tanks and artillery quickly moved in that direction and the Americans went steadily forward.
 At o'clock the tanks had disap- peared amid a smoke cloud over the ridge in front of Seicheprey.
 The Germans have offered very little resistance to the advancing Am ericans. Occasionally a stray machine gun or automatic rifle has been discOv- cred. but it is apparent that the enc my has withdrawn his main forces to a second line. which possibly he will defend with a certain degree of tenac ity.
 His artillery has been firing from behind a ridge which runs in front of the American line, but he is being pursued by tanks. which at oue point lost only one out of torty-tive and that stuck iu the mud.

THE PRIDE OF AMERICA

You tell the American people that their soldiers are admirable, said Marshal Foch the other day to correspondent of the As sociated Press.
 They ask nothing better than to go to their death. They can be reproached only with rushing ahead too fast-it is necessary to hold them back
 Nothing better could be said of the Amer ican soldiers. No greater tribute will ever be paid to them.

power that will carry it across the road that is the only line of retreat for the Germans in St. Mihiel.
 To many officers the action today started is but the fOrerunner of great CT blows to come. They anticipate that General Pershing will follow up with out delay the clearing out of the St. Mihiel salient with actions of greater scope, probably directed toward the capture of MUtL With such an ad- vance. it is said, a French thrust from Verdun along the front between Verdun and Rheims would go natur- ally and the great movement to force the enemy out of all northern France and much of Belgium would be well under way.
 "The concentration of a great part of the experienced United States troops had taken place during the last two weeks and everything was plan ned minutely and with eXactitude for a great event in American history. Last night the final preparations were completed.
 "The country over which the Ameri- cans are fighting is very difficult. The high ridges and thick woods offer ev- cry concealment for enemy machine guns and in addition the Germans have a fortified line of resistance, which has everything in it's favor"
 "A few prisoners of the tenth Land wehr division have been taken.
 "The Americans are pressing for ward in fine style and slowly closing in the extreme ends of the St. Mihiel salient.
 At the time of telegraphing news of what has happened is very meager. but the correspondent has just visited the battle front and heard of the prog ress of the American units in the re, zion of Montsec and Seicheprey and of the capture of several villages.
 From Beaumont I could see lying just below me the trenches from which the Americans started and the valley through which they were fight ing. The sun was streaming across the valley, casting shadows from the melancholy wrecks of villages all around. On the left was the black, height of MOntsec, with the lAnN NAAAd6t LII AaAeAN AAeAAAAN ANoNAAAA7 N+A its black side. Spurts of earth sprang from its capacious sides as the Ameri- can artillerymen battered at it.
