Gen. March Tells of Success

Especial Dispatch to The Tribunal

Especial Dispatch to The Tri6une)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The 9th
New York National Guard Division, led
by Major General Organ, is operating
with the British on the Flanders front,
Chief of Staff March announced to-
day in his conference with newspaper
spondents. The London report
saying American troops achieved a
considerable success between the
Somme and the Ancre" is believed to
have referred to the New York State
guardsmen, who have been abroad suf-
ficiently long to take their turn where
the fighting is heaviest.
High tribute also was paid by Cen
eral March to the Rainbow Divis ION,
which includes the fighting 69tf,
known now as the 1e5th Infantry Regi-
ment. This division was credited with
having put out of the fighting three
German divisions, including the crack
Prussian Guards. taking prisoners
from six enemy divisions and driving
the Germans back sixteen kilometres
in eight days.
General March, while expressing
greatest satisfaction with the Allied
successes and the part American
troops have taken in these victories,
sounded warning against overop-
timism.
"Hit Harder!" Says March
at is no time to talk about the war
being over" he said. at is the time to

General March said, "on the perfectly
sound principle that when you get an
enemy going you keep him going, never
give him chance to recupcrate or
think it over; keep on hitting him"

caution against optimism, eve

man casualties have been tremendously
heavy.
The latest news from the French was
that they had captured the towns of
Saulchoy and Davenescourt. (Saulchoy
is about FIVE miles northeast of Mont
dider.l
The advices from the French around
Montdidier stated that they were meet
ing no severe resistance and that the
Germans undoubtedly were trying
hard to escape from the nasty salient.
Eleven German divisions have been
not only defeated in the fighting Of
the last three days, but so utterly
crushed that the German higher com
mand has been unable to make any
counter stroke anywhere
German Communications Disorganized
The German communications have
been so disorganized that thus far only

LONDON, Aug 1o.-The advance OF
the Allied armies on the Picardy bat
tlefront continued to-day. according to
the latest dispatches reaching London
this afternoon.
Nowhere, il appears, have the Ger
mans yet beer able to organize for any
severe coun te rstroke.
The important town of Montdidier,
which was approximately at the apex
of the German salient south Of the
Somme, has been captured by the Al
lies. The French have taken an addi
tional hundred guns on this front. The
guns captured by the Allies are now
nearly 4os in number.
The Picardy battle is spreading TO
the south of Arras, "The Pail Mall Ga

the killed, wounded and missing, arc

In Repriisal
Police Guard Put Over M.
Litvinof Because of
Arrests in Moscow

LONDON, Aug. 10.-In reprisal for
the arrest at Moscow of Robert H. B.
Lockhart, British Consular Agent at
Moscow, and other British officials by
the Bolsheviki, NJ Litvinoff, the
Bolshevik emissary in London, has
been placed under police supervision,
"The Daily Mail" states.
British government advices through
Swedish channels say that the reason
given for the arrest of British Con-
suls at Moscow is that members of the
Soviet government were said to have
been shot at Archangel
The British government has de-
manded the release of Mr.. Lockhart
Much anxiety exists concerning other
members Of the British and French
diploma attic missions, and there are ap-
prehensions that they may have been
detained somewhere on the journey
northward.
Bolsheviki Withhold News
No direct news from Moscow is OBJ
cut off telegraphic communication.
Lockhart was sent to Moscow some
time ago to maintain unofficial rela-
tions with the Bolshevik. There have
arrest have been ned.
Lord Robert Cecil, Under Secretary
Of State for Foreign Affairs, comment
ing on the situation, sad
"If there was an organized govern
ment in Moscow of course it would
mean war. But as there is no real
government no immediate steps will
be taken affecting the Bolsheviki."
A dispatch to Reuters, Limited, from
Vladivostok, under date of August 8,
says that the district zemstvo has
handed an ultimatum to the consular
corps, demanding the immediate expul-
sion of General Horvath, self-pro-
claimed dictator of Siberia. The
zemstvo threatens to suspend it's func-
tions If this demand is not acceded to.
Chinese Help in Victory
General Semenoff, the Bolshevik
leader, with the help of Chinese artil-
lery, has defeated the Russian Red
Guards on the Chinese frontier and dis
persed them, according to a Moscow
telegram to the Rhenish Westphalian
Gazette" of Essen.
The German newspapers to-day ad-
NIT that the situation in Russia is so
critical that change of government
may come any day, according to CO.

Berlin Ascribes
Defeats to Fog
And Surprises
Germans Seek to Belittle
Allied Victories and Berate
British Army

AMSTERDAM, Aug 1O.-The Anglo
French successes are attributed to their
surprise attacks and the presence of q
thick fog over the battlefield, accord
ing to a Berlin telegram received here
quoting semi-official German news
agency.
"Notwith standing the exceedingly
favorable ground for the movement of
great masses of troops and the opera
tions of tanks, the initial success of the
Anglo French armies under Field Mar
shall Haig have not surpassed the limits
which usually result from a first days
offensive" the agency declares. "a
certain loss in guns and prisoners in
such circumstances is unavoidable, but
the enemy has not reached any of his
strategic goals. His gain of ground is
the less important because it comprises
no consolidated system of defence, but
was mannuvring ground, where the
fighting which started March 21 has
not yet come to a conclus on.'
Another semi official utterance tele-
graphed from Berlin says Field Mar
shall Haig undertook the attack to re-
store the badly tarnished military pres
tige of Great Britain, and asserts that.
"as usual" the brunt of the battle was
not borne by the English, but by Cana
dians and Australians.
IAN extremely dense fog the morn
ing of the sth favored the enemy at
tack" the statement says. The fog
cloud SO densely enveloped the Anglo
French tank squadrons which pushed
forward after sudden and formidable
by artillery that they
could pass unhindered by the German
anti tank FIRE and partly penetrate into
the artillery lines

ago. We still have some territory to
gain, so when statements appear in the
papers that indicate the war is over at
this point, discourage it. This is the
time for the greatest effort; keep the
enemy running. That is the reason
the United States is being called upon
for increased man power, that is the
reason we want the age limits of the
draft both lowered and raised to get
more men 1t is no time now to talk
about the war being over. 1t is the
time to hit him hard. The greatest
advantage of this whole thing has been
the change of the Allies from the de-
fensive to the offensive, which is a
enemy guessing now instead of guess
ing ourselves"
In outlining the part taken by the
Rainbow Division, answering a request
for brief resume of the principal &C
tions in which the pioneer National
Guard organization has participated,
General March SAID:
"The Rainbow Division had its com
bat training in the Lorraine sector,
north of Luneville It left that posi-
tion to arrive east of Rheims, where on
July Is it helped break the main Ger
man attack. When the French-A -Ameri-
can counter offensive was launched in
the Marnc salient the division appeared
there shortly in relief of other units.
Our reports indicate the following: In
eight days Of battle the division has
forced tho passage of the Ourcq, taken
prisoners from six enemy divisions,

Lloyd George Lauds
Unity Of Command

LONDON. Aug 10.-Speaking at a
luncheon to-day at Newport, Mon
mouth shire Premier Lloyd George
emphasized the Importance of the
pushing back of the Germans from
within gun range of the Amiens
railway
Hundreds of trains used to pas,
through Amiens daily" the Premier
said, but we were temporarily de-
prived of its use until recently, when
we were able to employ twenty trains
daily.
"Amiens now is safe through the
recent Allied triumphs on the Marne
and the Somme, which were due to
the unity of command. Those two
great victories have resulted in the
capture of between fifty thousand
and sixty thousand prisoners and
between eight hundred and nine
hundred guns"

For Crushing Defeats

LONDON, Aug. 10.-Reuter's Linn
tied correspondent with the British
army in France sends the following
dispatch concerning the German
Crown Prince:
According to the statements of
prisoners the German Crown Prince
appears to be the most unpopular
leader in the German army. He is
accused by them of being directly
responsible for the Marine disaster.
They say that the opinion is widely
expressed by German soldiers that
the Crown Princes amateurish inter
ference with the plans of their ex-
perienced generals was the starting
point for the present crushing mis-
fortunes of the German armies"
