RUSSIA TO END
WAR, PREDICTION
RUSSIAN OFFICER

WASHINGTON. Aug. ct is Rus
sia that will finish the war. This is
the declaration made to DR.. Hans
Worst by an officer of the red guard,
according to an article by DR.. Worst in
the Berlin Tageblatt, portions of
which have been received in Washing
ton through official channels.
DR.. Worst is considered in Germany,
one of the best judges of Russian af-
fairs and was sent to Russia by the
Tageblatt to report conditions.
Through conversations with Rus
slams of all classes, he came to the
conclusion that the soviet government
is thoroughly detested, but that the
hatred of the Russians for the Ger
mans is still greater. The soviet gov
ernment, he declares is the oligarchy
of terror and unrestraint. A mer-
chant declared to DR.. Worst:
'The war with Germany is not over.
A new government will be formed in
Russia. 1t will decree a general mo-
biliza ton and will drive the enemy out
of all the territory that he occupies" !"
The officer of the red guard who
declared that Russia will end the war,
added according to DR. Worst:
"A national rising so powerful and
so general will be accomplished, vic.
tory will return to our flag"

In front of the parade floated our
colors, the American flag, the Italian
flag, the British flag, the French flag
and the national colors of Belgium.
A formation OF English war heroes

in this great celebration. This may
sound like American Bull but it is the

Usual Freight Shipments
Handled by Railroads
Under Federal Control
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Railroads
under common management this year
have hauled approximately the same
amount of freight as last year. with
less actual train movement, owing to
re-routing and fuller loading of cars.
This was shown today by railroad
administration report on freight train
operation for the year UP to June l.
In the five months period the num-
Der of tons of freight hauled one mile
was $4,000, 100000 as compared with
1851 OO.000,000 last year. The appar-
ent reduction this year was caused
partly by new methods of reporting.
Reports showed the number of miles
travelled by loaded freight cars, con-
sidering the movement of one car one
mile as unit, was 5,903,000,O00 as
compared with 6,456,O00,000 last year.
The hauling Of empty freight cars also
was cut down 44,000,000 car miles.
Railroads had 30,791 locomotives in
service June /, as compared with
30,321 a year before. This was In
addition to 1855 locomotives awaiting
repairs in shops. There were 2,418.000
freight cars in service or 100000 more
than year previous. "a tendency to
reduce the miles covered by trains in
a day also was reflected in the report.

HUN AIR RAID
OVER ENGLAND
PROVES FARCE
British Flyers Bring Down
One Zeppelin, Damage Sec
ond and Drive Third Away.
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Aug. 6.-The attempted
raid by German Zeppelin on the east
Anglican coast last night proved to be
a complete farce according to reports
thus far received.
British flyers who are ever on the
alert along the coast were ready for
the visitors and met them we'll out to
sea bringing down one in flames, dam
aging second, and driving a third
away. What happened to the other
airships in the squadron is not dis
closed in the official statement The
fact, however, that the report said
"Zeppelins crossed the coast is
grounds for the presumption that
these did not reach land.
There is no evidence as yet that
they dropped any bombs and it is
probable that their crew was kept
busy protecting their ship against pur-
suing British airmen.
In last nights air raid on England
by German airships one of the enemy
crafts, Zeppelin was brought down,
1t was officially announced today.
Another of the German airships was
damaged but probably succeeded in
reaching its base. .t

Jokes and Smiles Greet
Renewal of Long Range
Bombardment of Paris
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Monday, Aug. 5.-Contem-
ptuous smiles and jocular remarks
greeted the first explosion of the Ger
man long range shell in the Paris reg
ion today, because a resumption Of
the bombardment at this time was ex-
actly what the population expected
the Germans to do. Despite the in
clement weather scores of persons sat
indifferently on the terraces and at
the cafes saluting each shell with
caustic comments.
Expressions of rage and hope Of re-
venge soon were heard, however, when
it became known that somewhere in
the vicinity of Paris women and chill
dren had been murdered wautonly by
the German shell.
Every one of those shots will cost
Fritzie a great pain" said a brawny
American soldier. That is the feeling
of the entire population
Renewal of the bombardment has
further strengthened the resolution of
Paris to see that the war is carried on
until Germany militarism has fallen.

Relief from that source, however, is
not in immediate prospect for the

before the showers travel eastward far

(3y Associated Prass.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6-That man
power will be the determining factor
in the war and that it is incontestA Bile
that the numerical superiority OF the
entente is increasing daily are two ad-
missions publicly made in Austria,
which have caused great dependency
throughout the empire, according to
advices reaching Washington today
sions are made, in the Arbeiter Zeit-
ung of Vienna, which states that the
French and allied victory on the west
front has visibly produced profound
impression among the people. The
paper states:
"The assault Of the allies against
our new front have in no way dimin-
ished in intensity. That is a fact
which gives one cause to think. With
adversaries like the Russians the tech
nical superiority Of the Germans was
such that, the numerical superiority
of the Russians was OF no importance.
On the west, the situation is quite diff
ferent. Do not let us forget that the
French and the Anglo-Saxons are side
by side with the Americans, the most
civilized peoples in the world and that
they are in a position to turn all mod
ern technical inventions to their own
profit On the other hand, let us
take into consideration the invincible
spirit which animates the French sol
dier. the tradition of victory and
glory which only these last few years
German history has somewhat tar
nished.
Equal to Germany
This spirit Of the French army,
united with powerful organizing abil-
ity Of America, gives value to the
armies Of the entente at the very least
equal to that Of Germany. One must
therefore admit that in the west these
factors which military and technical
value represent do not henceforth
play any role. Those are advantages
which have become neutraliZed. 1t
therefore results, in contradiction to
what happened on the eastern front,
that the decisive factor in this war
will be man power. Now it Is incon-
testable that the numerical superior
ity OF the entente in increasing every
day. That in formal avowal of the
inevitable defeat which is awaiting
the central powers"
That the conclusion of the article
was still more alarming, is manifest

GERMANS FAIL
IN ATTEMPT
TO HOLD IN
U. S. FORCES
American Lines at Fismes
Shelled to Prevent Further
Effort-Cas Follows Fail
ure of Big Guns.
ENEMY STILL RETREATS
CBy Associated Press,


WITH THE AMERICAN
ARMY ON THE VESLE, Aug.
6-The Germans along the line
opposite the Americans west of
Fismes, used their guns freely
yesterday afternoon in an appar-
ent attempt to discourage the
Americans and their French al
lies from further aggressive eff
fort.
The Germans were baked in
this effort by the weather con-
ditions. 1t was misty and at
times rainy, and although Ger
man balloons were up they must
have been unable to report ac-
curately. About mid-afternoon
the Germans began trying other
methods to get the range for
their heavy guns. Many shells
which threw out black smoke
upon exploding were hurled to-
ward cross roads and other Oh
jectives to guard the range from
the smoke clouds.
But the mist likewise hamper
ed accuracy in observations on
these shells and after wasting
numbers of them the attempt
was abandoned.
Gas is Ineffective.
Late in the afternoon the Germans
hapan using pn11cford cnaa,o u,o
and some chocolate gas, so named
| from the odor. These gas attacks
were ineffective, the American gas
drills having taught the troops all the
German tricks.
Nevertheless the Germans were per
sistent. They combed the hills bor-
| dering the vesle with gas shells, en-
deavoring to reach the roads lead
ing to Fismes and other points where
they thought the allies might be as
sembling for a crossing of the Vesle
There happened south wind which
carried the gas back across the Vesle.
and after putting on their gas masks
for each attack. the Americans would
laugh as the gas was blown back. The
Germans kept pounding away after
dark but for every shell the enemy
sent in the Americans they sent across
half dozen or more and never said
good night.
