American Chief of Staff Says
initiative Has Passed From
German Armies.
FOCH STRATEGY WINS
French Commander Has Attained His
Objective in Cutting Railway Sup
plying Enemy Forces In Chateau
Thierry Region.

Washington, July 23.-The initiative
now is passing to the American and
Allied armies, the high water mark Of
the German offensive movement In
France having been reached.
This is the lesson drawn by Ameri-
can military leaders from General
Fochs sudden counter attack on the
Aisne- Marne front, General March,
chief of staff, told members of the
Senate Military committee.
Later he announced American troop
shipments had now exceeded 1900, 900
men, insuring the manpower to hold
the initiative on the Western front.
The direct objective of General
Foch's counter stroke, General March
told newspaper men in his weekly con-
ference, is the railway that feeds the
German forces in the Chateau Thierry
region Already it has been attained
for the French and American forces
are either astride the line at certain
points or have it under direct gunfire
at short range, rendering it unusuable
Hear of Retreat Over Marne.
Even as General March spoke re
ports flashed over the cables telling
that the German withdrawal from the
sector south of the Marne had begun
under the onrush of General Mangin's
attacking army in the enemy's rear
The withdrawal was foreseen by Gen
eral March when French and Ameri
can shells began raining on the rail
way.
The American chief of staff told
with evident satisfaction, of the fact
that six American divisions are bat
tling with the French on the line OF

OF NO MILITARY VALUE
German Diver Wastes Ammuni.
tion Shelling Barges.
Hope of Shaking Morale of American
Nation May Be Object of
Attack.

Amsterdam, July 23.-The German
submarine raider which appeared off
the Massachusetts coast in contrast
to the tactic adopted by the U-boats
which last raided American waters,
shelled vessels without giving the
crews a chance to seek safety in
small boats
This fact was accepted in some
quarters as indicating that the Ger
mans were undertaking to bring their
campaign of "frightfulness" directly
home to America in the hope of shak-
ing the morale of the nation That
this attempt would have no more sue
cess than the raid of last May and
June was the firm conviction of Off.
cial Washington.
Officials plainly were surprised that
the submersibles should have attacked
tug and barges, as these vessels were
without military value and the none
tary loss was small. Some accepted
this waste of ammunition as bearing
out the theory of "frightfulness''
campaign, for upon no other ground,
they said, could the submarine com.
mander justify such an expensive at
tack.
Reappearance of submarines In
American waters at this time was not
unexpected after the finding OF for.
eign made mines off the Long Island
coast last week. The presence of the
sea raider was not accepted by naval
officials as proof that it was torpedo
that sank the armored cruiser San
Diego off Fire Island, New York, last
Friday, with a possible loss of 81

AS EVER, TOO LATE

For several months newspapers
of the country have been urging the
use Of wood, corn cobs, peat, or any
other substitute for coal, as a means
of conserving coal. On July 20 Fuel
Administrator Garfield Suggested"
to state fuel administrators that in
states where a plentiful supply Of
wood is available the distribution Of
coal for domestic purposes outside
of cities or Incorporated towns be
prohibited. Just as country people
are at their busiest harvest season.
Garfield wakes up to the opportun-
ity for use Of wood. It is too late
for them to do much cutting now.
Moreover. his suggestion relates only
