RUSSIA REALIZING

The Russian people are awakening

Scant attention is being paid here
to the hostile attitude of the Bolshe-

Of war exists with the allies. Through
proclamations issued by the allied
governments, the thought is gaining
rapid way that the allies want to help
and nothing else.
The good news appears that the
United States has determined to help
Russia with food supplies" says the
influential Russian Vechernaya "a
zeta, extracts from which have just
reached this country. I'VE can en-
tertain only feelings OF the deepest
gratitude"
Allied officials are expected to con-
centrate both economic and military
aid on the Country of the North"
for the time being for two reasons:
To establish a practical working con-
nection with Russians on Russian soil
which would serve as a base" from
which to extend allied assistance to
other parts of Russia; and to Demon

Americans Given Credit
For Offensive of Allies

Foch's newest surprise party" for
the Germans-the Franco-British Of
fensives in Picardy and Flanders-is
held by military experts here to have
a double purpose of crippling the Ger
man lines of communication and sup
ply and making the crown princes
position between the Aisne and Vesle
even more perilous than II was.
In addition, military men pointed
out, there Is a chance to break
through between the crown prince
and Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria, in
which case the whole German front
would be In great danger.
The utmost qualification Is ex-
pressed over Foch's determination to
keep the initiative and give the foe
no rest In addition, there is a strong
feeling that the allied successes since
Foch started his first great blow have
been peculiarly American. There is
no boasting or overestimation of the
Importance of operations, of the
American troops in this. 1t is based
on three things:
First, one-man command President
Wilson's idea, originally, and adopted
by the allies at his behest.
Second, the stopping of the German
rush at Chateau Thierry by American
marines. and their important partici-
patton in the great Marne victory.
Third, the making possible of the
present Franco-British smash by the
presence of large American forces
either with the British on other parts
Of the line or in reserve behind the
present combat area.
Regarding the first, Secretary
Baker has frankly expressed the opfn-
ion that the elasticity of allied move
ments has been due primarily to the
unified command. 1t was in this

dropped smoke bombs to conceal the
progress Of the troops, advanced in
fantry units were supplied with am
munition by the messengers from the
sky, tanks were given information
and aid in destroying strongholds,
fleeing enemy columns were raked
with machine gun fire, and artillery
observation was carried out under
the most adverse conditions.
The fighting resulted in the OFF,
cially reported destruction of forty
eight German airplanes, while seven
teen others were driven down out of
control Five hostile balloons were
set afire and destroyed. Fifty-one
British machines are missing.
The destruction of a German Yep
pelin was officially reported today
by the air ministry in the commu-
nique describing naval flying opera
tions during the first week OF Au-
gust. In addition, the communique
reported destruction of three enemy
machines, while six others were
driven down out of control. No Brit
ish machines are missing with the
exception Of one seaplane, which was
forced to land in Dutch waters,
where the crew was interned and the
airplane destroyed.

DEEPEST GRATITUDE FOR
FRIENDSHIP OF U. S.

I'VE can entertain only feelings OF
deepest gratitude toward the liberty
loving people OF the great trans-At-
lantic republic for this new demon
stration of human love and vital en-
ergy," says the Vechernaya Gazeta,
according to a translation cabled here
today by the Committee on Public In
formations representative at Harbin.
Everywhere, the American representa-
tive reports, Americas preparations
to help Russia are being watched with
interest and expectancy.
'It is true that the Yankees, who
heretofore have been considered men
of dollars, have given aid to Belgium
and other nations in need, but the pro-
posed help to Russia must be given
special notice." says the Gazeta.
