MATERIAL AID
WILL Be GIVEN
RUSSIA BY j. S.
Business and Industrial Lead
ers Will Constitute Mission
to Assist in Work of
Rehabilitation.
By Associated Press.

Washington, June 28.-Plans OF the
American government for aiding
Russia in rehabilitating herself which!
became known today revealed that
a first step contemplated is in forma
assistance through American business
and industrial leaders and disposed OF
widely published reports that dip
lomatic or political mission would be

Russia. Il.
The personnel OF group of men
who will carry important advice and
material aid is being discussed.
Ample police protection is expect
ed but show of military force will be
avoided. Officials were reluctant to
discuss this phase Of the situation, re-
alizing that Germany would seize up
on it as a means of distorting the in
tentions OF the United States. For
that reason it is likely that full de-
tails of the assistance to be proffered
will not be disclosed until after the
Germans learn of them by finding the
plans actually i'll effect.
As Russia is in great need of many
raw materials and manufactured
goods, the United States proposes to
license freely for export whatever is
rated as necessary by The business
men who will 60 to the aid of that
country. Tonnage will be provided
for shipment to Siberian ports, from
where the supplies can be distributed
to the interior. As the material ex-
preston of the charity of the Ameri-
can people the Red Cross also is
ready to send relief supplies in large
quantities.

of reconstruction and to this extent
only will the aid have all official as

Today's news dispatches made nc
change in the plans already formu-
lated. Internal disturbances were
thought to accentuate the need OF in-
jecting a steadying influence into the
situation and officials said they pro-
posed to go ahead on the lines laid
down.

HUNS GIVEN
NASTY KNOCK
BY BRJ0NS
Large Number Killed in Hur-
riCane Onslaught to Acquire
More LeeWay East of
Forest of Nieppe.
By Associated Press.

With the British Army in
France, June 2S.-Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg's troops
east of the forest of Nieppe got
a nasty and unexpected knock
today, when the British sud-
denly drove forward in a sur
prise attack along a front of
more than three miles and
hurled the startled gray-coated
soldiers back to an average
depth of 1900 yards.
The operation was an un-
qualified success from its in
ception and the attacking in
fantry reached all their object
ives in remarkably short time.
BY this thrust, the British, not only
have greatly improved their position
in this important and much contested
sector, which lies just north of Mer-
vile, but they inflicted heavy punish
ment on two hostile divisions that
were holding the line here--the 32d
division of Saxons and the 44th re-
serve division of Prussians.
Many of Foe Slain.
Large numbers of the enemy were
killed in the hurricane onslaught, and
some $50 of the more fortunate had
been collected in prisoner cages be-
fore noon.
The front of the attack was 5000
yards in length and lay approximate
ly between Vieux Berquin. on the
north and Pont Journal, 1000 yards
northwest of Mervile, on the south.
West of Merville the British and
German lines here had been jammed
up almost against the edge of the
Nieppe forest in places, with the re-
suit that the British felt, lack OF
elbow room for operations. II was
in order to acquire more leeway that
today's assault was projected.
The detectives settled upon lay
along the winding little stream known
as Plate Becque, which bowed out
toward the east in semi-circlc back
of the German lines. Prussians and
Saxons were holding this zone with a
series of strong machine gun posts
linked up with barbed wire
All Objectives Gained.
The first stages of the drive were
comparatively easy. At two strong
ly fortified farms near the center of
the line, the enemy fought stubborn

against the furious onslaughts of the

ON Way TO BERLIN
Omaha Bids God Speed to
Potential Soldiers Who An
sWer Call of Country; Can
teen Workers Busy

Never has Omaha so keenly felt
that the United States is really at
war as it did Friday, when l,l00 young
men, the pride OF the city, marched
away in answer to the June draft call.
Martial music of two bands stirred
thousands lining the streets from the
court house to the Union station to
cheers as the embryo soldiers
marched.
Mothers, sweethearts and friends
joined in the line Of march with their
loved ones. The streets were crowded
from curb to curb with Omaha citi-
zens wishing "God speed" to the de-
parting contingent the largest called.
Red Cross canteen workers were on
the ground early issuing comfort kits,
sandwiches and smoking tobacco.
Every man was loaded down with
presents that will add to the comfort
of camp life before the order to en-
train was issued. No one was over
looked and as the train departed all
were happy to be on their way to
Berlin. 49,.
The various draft boards arranged
for diniier to be served the men from
their district at local hotels and cafes.
During the farewell reception on the
court house lawn police were unable
to hold back the immense throng that
crowded around for last word with
loved ones.
Thousands at Station.
Thousands OF people were at the
station for an hour and half wait
ing until the two long trains pulled
out. They lined the viaduct and the
approaches to the station. Soldiers
were stationed at all gates and they
patrollcd both sides of each train, but
they were not able to stem the tide
of humanity anxious to get glimpse
of loved ones. Men and women were
soon inside the railroad yards, lining
the tracks as far west as Twelfth
street.
Many were the affecting scenes.
One young man on the viaduct said
II have three brothers on those trains
and ] just can't bear to go down
there
A young woman, beautifully dressed
sat at the wheel of big automobile
on the viaduct and cried without at
tempting to conceal her grief. Two
Older women were in the back seat
and wiped their eyes frequently.
"Goodby, ma" one soldier said
with final kiss to his mother. The
mother tried to say goodby, but sobs
overcame her and she could only
cling to him.
