Delay In Starting New Offensive
Indicative Of Lack Of Confidence

NEW YORK, July 6.-(by United Press)-Von Hinden-
bnrgs delay in starting offensive along the west front
is strongly indicative of lack of confidence at the Ka
sers headquarters in the ability the German army to win
decisive results on the battlefield
There apparently powerful influences at work trying
persuade the Kaiser permit yon Hindenburg to CON
tnue his policy Of ruthlessy saughtering Germanys man
power for chmerica results definite policy by the Ger
mans Of defensive role is under discussion at general head
quarters Whether this REIMBURSEMENT Of initiative shall Be
once only after another futile effort to
break through the allies front is matter which the Kaiser
must quickly decide.
He has refused his consent at least to an mpeos oer
sve undertaken like the latest German drives without due
strategic forethought This much is known from the excep
onay long interval which has passed since the beginning
of the fourth offensive Between the commencement Of the
first and second German offensive this year. there was ne
od of nine days. between the of the second and third
ofensves eighteen days. and between the opening Of the
third and fourth offensive thirteen days. 4
It is twentysix days since the fourth offensive began
and signs yet in evidence that fifth is in immediate
preparation.
This that Hindenburg has at the very last ac.
knowledged his previous tactics Of hurried drives were
1t may further that the arrival Of Americas first mil
lion in France has exercised decisive influence on the side
of the conservative military leaders and that authority has
been taken ftom Hndenburg to sacrifice the German
army at his own blood thirsty will If Won Hndenburp ever
intends to strike again he cannot afford wait until manv
American troops enter the trenches against him The
announcement of Secretary Baker concerning the dispatch Of
American troops shows that than $4,000 are
being sent weekly It may we'll be that this fact will
make Won Hindenburg's present pause permanent

James Mahoney Was
In Big Battle

Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Mahoney
have recently received a very inter
esting letter from their son, Mr.. Jas.
Mahoney, in which he told something
of the terrible battle of Mons des
Flanders. Young Mr.. Mahoney is
with the 577th United States Am
lance unit and was in the thick of the
fight. He described some of the ter-
rors of the belching cannon, the flare
Of the lurid lights, the smoke and the
fire and the burning of village
For his courage and bravery Mr.. Ma
honey, along with a number of 9th
ers, was awarded the croix dc geurre
by the French commander. So great
was the shell shock while the battle
ragged that one of Mr.. Mahoney's
arms was temporarily paralyzed.-

Samrnie Kills
Seven Germans

LONDON, July 5.-The Ameri-
cans who took part in the fighting
Thursday at lllers-Bretoneux were
delighted with their share in the bat
tie, says the Reuters correspondent
at British headquarters, telegraphing
from the front. He says they were
quite new to any sort Of warfare and
described to barrage fire as equal to
the finest Fourth of July celebration.
A young corporal only 21 years
old, although too badly wounded to
be taken Immediately to the hospital
and in great pain, gave his experience
with relish, the correspondent says.
The American had killed seven Ger
mans, which he considered to be more
than fair equivalent for his wounds.
