The British doctrine Of ''Lese
Majesty" as held during the eight
zenith century, is the Prussian doc
trine still. It is that to tell the truth
shout the king is likely to be more
damaging to his majesty" than any
thing else, and ought to be punished
accordingly. Byron was guilty Of 1t
when he wrote Of "the fourth Of the
fools and oppressors called George"
but, as a result Of the long fight
made by British Wings before and
after Defoe was pilloried, it was pos
sible in Byron's time to tell the
truth, even about the king, without
being treated as traitor.
This has never been the case in
Prussia, nor is it now. Telling the
truth about the Kaiser is "lese ma
jesty" Of the worst description.
In this country until lately we had
cut loose from this theory Of the per
nicious nature Of the truth, as APP
piled to kaisers, kings, and official
supermen generally. As a "recru-
descenee" in the United States now,
hostility to the truth operates along
the general line Of the British Tory
theory Of the seventeenth century,
that, while truth might be defense
If told about q person not of exalted
rank, yet in case Of "magnates" Of
exalted rank the truth, as it might
tend to show them no better than
other people in any event land prob
ably worse), was more pernicious
than anything else. Hence, as to the
scandal of magnates," the doctrine
was that the greater the truth the
greater the libel"
In view Of the debate in the United
States Senate yesterday, all who are
not in the habit Of counting at least
ten before beginning to express their
own opinions of the Great NAV do
well to review the above as a sum-
mary Of the first principles Of re-
naming unindicted and keeping out
Of Jail while engaged in promoting
the national defense and helping to
win the war, according to any un-
authorized theory Of making the
world safe for democracy.
Before the Senate passed the
sedition bill, under which II is mr.
posed to make people who talk too
much indictable for Espionage. {"
Senator France OF Maryland secured
the passage OF an amendment
through which the Prussian theory
Of "lese majesty" was struck out Of
the bill. With It went the Seven
teenth Century British Tory theory
that 1t is essentially criminal TO tell
the truth about eminent office-hold-
ers. The France amendment made
the truth, proven by any one who
had told It. a sufficient defense
against any indictment for "sedi-
ton"
As the bill came back yesterday
from conference with the House. the
France amendment was stricken out
The bill again represented the Brit
ish Tory theory in the time Of
George ii. the French Bourbon
theory before the revolution, and
the present theory OF the Hohenzol-
lern family that It is a crime of the
worst kind to tell the truth about
majesty" and the majestic.
Mr.. Fall, Of New Mexico, repudiat-
ed the France amendment. He said
that unfortunately the Constitution

conclusion, he "for one pledged

To the war against the enemies Of

President" he asked, when did the
war become a war upon the Ameri-
can people?" He declared that the
doctrines sought to be enacted as
law Of the United States meant war
not on Germany, but upon our own
people, denying them the liberty and
the rights the Government was estab-
lished to confirm to them. He de-
nounced the theory that war sus-
pended or abrogated the Constitu-
ton. and asserted that only through
the Constitution could the people and.
their Government exert their greatest
strength. He was glad that the
Chamberlain court-martial bill had
been condemned by the President.
The conference report went over

0verman bill reached the stage under
which speeches will be confined to
half an hour, except on amendments,
when the limit will be twenty min
utes. Senator'S Wolcott Of Delaware
and Williams Of Mississippi were
among those supporting the bill.
Perhaps the best point made against
it during. the day was by Senator
Sterling, quoting Washington's warn
ing that @the spirit Of encroachment
tends to consolidate all the powers
Of government in one and thus to
create a real despotism."

AMERICANS TAKE OVER
200 VILLAGES AND TOWNS S

With the American Army on the
Vesle, Aug. Sin their offensive since
July IS, the allies have regained ap-
proximately $500 kilofneters. More
than 200 villages and towns, including
scissors, Chateau Thierry and Fismes
are again in the hands of the allies.
The front has been shortened by So
kilometers (about 33 miles).
According to information contained
in documents in possession Of the
French and Americans, the Germans
in the rear guard fighting during the
retreat used four more divisions than
they had contemplated using to break
the French line when the German Of
fensive began. The enemy plans call
ed for thirteen divisions to shatter the
French and to cross the Marne be-
tween Dormans and Chateau Thierry.
Information gathered by the allies
is to the effect that in falling back the
Germans brought into action at least
seventeen divisions before reaching
the Vesle. Additional reinforcements
have been brought up since the Vesle
was crossed. A division which was
resting in Flanders is known to have
reached the regnon north of Fismes
Tuesday.

FRENCH CAPITAL SAYS FOCH
STRUCK AT OPPORTuNE TIME.

Paris, Aug. e.-Marshal Foch has
struck the Germans on a new front
and French opinion, lay and profess
sional, is lost in admiration of the
manner in which the blow has been
carried out. Military observers agree
that the new stroke may have import
ant consequences.
The present maneuver is similar to
the counter offensive north OF the
Marne in that il is directed toward
squeezing two sides of salient.
Ahead OF the front which the allies
already have reached lies the Peronne-
Roye highway and they are gaining
rapidly toward It
This road has the same Importance
to the present battle as the Scissors
Chateau Thierry road in the battle for
Fere en- Tardenois. If the allies reach
1t all the German troops south of a
line through Montdier. Lassingny and
Noyon would be placed in as serious a
predicament as those on the Marne on
July IS. That would be the first and
Immediate consequence.
Quite apart from the ultimate ef-
fects, the first days fighting relieved
Amiens from the German MANAGE.
Iondidier has been surrounded and it
will be possible to re-established the
Great Northern railroad through
Amiens. the lack of which has serious
" handicapped the allies during the
past four months.

pushed the pans containing the food
into the doorway. just as he WAS
pushing in the second pan, one of the
prisoners knocked him down with a
piece Of iron, which felled him to the
floor; the prisoners then rushed on,
striking the marshal who was on the
outside, with the same weapon and
battered him also with bottles The
prisoners then made their escape, run

them had a pistol, but the trusty VINO

from a region north of the
Somme, east of Morlancourt to
the eastern bank of the Avre,

Many additional villages were
captured and the bag of pris-
oners was largely increased.
Numerous guns and great guam

heavy casualties inflicted. Anglo
French losses are declared to be
relatively small.
On the two Flanders sectors,
the famous Lys salient, and
northwest of LsaBassee, and in
the region of southwest of Ypres
Germans have yielded important
ground
These maneuvers in north or
part of the Germans, seemingly
indicate that they either consid:
