I own of Canny
Is aiken With
1000 Prisoners
Gen. Ludendorf Laws
Losses to Bad I actics
(By The Associated Press


WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
w FRANCE, Aug 17.-An order
signed "Ludendorff" recently capt
ured on the battlefield discloses the
anxiety Of the Germans over the
heavy losses they suffered in the lat
ter part of June and early. in July.
The order, dated July 6, refers to
repeated attacks by the enemy dur
ing recent days" and says:
Unfortunately, 3 great number of
prisoners were lost in those affairs,
which shows that our occupation Of
the first lines is still too dense in
defence and that the depth of the
advanced zone is insufficient"
The document makes significant
reference to the relations between
the depth of the advanced zone and
the weakness Of artillery.
'The weaker the artillery is" says
the document, "and the worse the or
ganization of position is, the deep
er should be the advanced zone"
Another paragraph refers to the
lack of men for certain operations, as
follows:
"The fear that the entente might
make US retire several kilometres is
absolutely unjustifed, because they
have as few men as we have avail
able for such attacks"

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. 17.-French troops this
morning carried out local attack in
the region of Au.reches. about ten
miles northwest of Soissons, and capt
ured the plateau north of Aptreches viii
lage. This gives them command of the
region extending northward, south Of

The French are now within mile of
Roye on two sides.
Local actions elsewhere resulted in
the further tightening Of the grip OF
the Allies upon the approaches to Royc.

The Germans arc intensifying their ar
tillery fire in that region, with no other
effect than to slow up the Allied ad-

dealt severe blow to the German plan
of defence on this southern part of the
Picardy battle line, provoking very
strong counter attacks during the night
Of Friday. These. however, resulted
only in largely increasing the enemy's
tosses. The French lines were main

that the Germans are preparing an

Austria Will Treat
Czechs as Traitors
Vienna Refuses to Accept
British Recognition of
Slovalks as Nation

VIENNA, Aug. 17.-British recogni-
tion of the Czecho-Slovaks as a nation
was denounced in an official statement
issued here to-day. The statement de-
clares that the members of the Czecho-
Slovak army will be regarded and treat
ed as traitors by Austria Hungary.
"The form and contents of this latest
declaration of the British government
must be emphatically repudiated," the
statement says. "The Czecho-Slovaks'
National Council is committee of pri-
vate persons who have no mandate
from the Czecho- -Slovak people and still
less from the Czecho-Slovak nation,
which exists only in the Imagination Of
the Entente.
Equally absurd is it to represent
this committee as future government,
which as yet does not exist.
"'ln reference to the CZecho -Slovak
Army it may constitute part of the
Entente Army, but it certainly cannot
be an Ally of the Entente in the sense
of international law. 1t is we'll known
self styled Czech-Slovak Army are
Austrian or even Hungarian citizens of
Slovak tongue.
"Ihese disloyal elements, guilty of
perjury, will, Notwithstanding the En-
tente's recognition, be regarded and
treated as traitors. 1t cannot be per-
ritted that the peoples who have al
ways fulfilled their duties as Austrian
and Hungarian citizens, and whose sons
as members of the Austro- Hungarian
army fought bravely against the En-
tente, shall be subjected to the sus-
picions cast upon them by such meth
eds as employed by the British official
declaration. The Austro- Hungarian
government reserves its steps in this
regard"

One thousand prisoners have been

announced last night.
The French also struck a sudden
blow outside the main battlefield. in
the region between the Picardy and

two miles, near the village of

the Allies making slow but steady
progress. Friday night, it was an
nounced yesterday, they reached the
eastern edge of Loges Wood, south
of Roye. The line now is only
mile from the town on two sides.
Further north the British ad.
vanced north of the Roye Road and
also north of the Ancre River. In
Flanders there was sharp fighting
on the western side Of the Lys sa.
lient, and the enemy lost ground.
The Americans made raid in
Lorraine which proved so successful
that it developed into a larger at
tack. They captured the village Of
Frapelle, five miles east of st.
Die, and eliminated salient
the enemy had held. Many prisoners
were taken. The foes losses in dead
and wounded were heavy.
This action took place on front
usually quiet. The enemy seems to
have been mapping. The engage
ment is not regarded as likely to
develop into a major operation.
Further accounts from the front
dwell on the enemy's difficulty in
filing the gaps in his ranks caused
by the Allied victories A German
offensive on a large scale from now
on this year is thought unlikely.

Notice
To Tribune Readers
And Others

Yesterday morning we an
,,sunced that the newsdealcrs Of
eVrate- New York are going to
decla.e war on the Hearst
napers, with three aims in view,
namely: CD to break what they
call Hearst's power of oppres-
sion; CD to strengthen in that
way their demand on all the
publishers for a price that will
give them a larger proht-a de-
mand to which the Hearst inAu-
ence has been Extensively an
tsgonistic, and (3). incidentally.
to protest against the disloyalism
Of the Hearst newspapers.
We announced also that the
other newspaper publishers,
Hecting to stand with Hearst,
had served notice on the news
dealers that those who refused
10 handle Hearst papers would
be cut off from all other papers,
and had issued instructions ac-
cordingly to the American News
Company. which controls the
distribution Of morning news
papers. That was to say to
newsdealer: 'If you do not take
the Hearst papers you cannot
have The Times or The Sun or
The World or The Herald "
The Tribune, as we said yes
terday morning. elected to stand
with the newsdealers against
Hearst. We asked the American
News Company to say in that
case what its attitude would be
toward Tribunes. Would it de-
liver them as usual? We have
had the answer.
Beginning Monday. sne Ameri-
can News Company will refuse
to deliver Tribunes EXCEPT to
newsdealers who take also the
Hearst papers.
This means that newsdealer
who declines to handle Hearst
papers cannot obtain from the
American News Company his
supply of Tribunes.
1t means that the newedealer
who refuses to handle Hearst
papers will be cut off not only
from the papers Of those pub
fishers who stand with Hearst
and wish them to be cut off, but
from The Tribune also, though it
stands with the newsdealers and
wishes them to be supplied as
usual.
The fight is on. Tho plan is
to begin it in Brooklyn Monday
morning and then bring it to
Manhattan.

America Now
Has 100000
Men in Army
1,450,000 Are in France,
Russia, Italy and England,
General March Says
Especial DisYa,eh to The Tribune,

Especial Dispatch to The T,ibune)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.--The total
strength Of the American army actual
ly under arms is more than 3,0O0,0 ,0OC
men, General March, chief of staff
disclosed to-day to the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee and at his con-
ference with the newspaper men.
More than 1850 900 troops have been
moved overseas to France, Italy, Sibe-
ria and Russia, and the remaining
1,550,000 are in training in this coun-
try, he said.
General March's reference to Rus
sia, in addition to Siberia, is taken to
mean that American soldiers, in addi-
ton to the marines already landed, are
either en- route to or have arrived on
the Murman coast.
The Senate committee also was told
that the American military programme
contemplated force of eighty full d.
visions overseas by June 80, 1919. That
this would be accomplished was ind-
Gated by the chief of staff, who told
the Senate committee that a marked
improvement in the shipping situation
made it possible for round trips of
some transports to be made in nine
teen days, although the average was
twenty-eight days, while supply ships
made the turn around" in twenty-nine
days.
Little Change at Front
General March announced that the
general military situation had changed
but little since his conference of
Wednesday. He said the Germans were
gradually consolidating their posi-
tions along the old 1861 line. and
the enemy's resistance was becoming
stronger.
"On the Lassigny plateau. to which
I referred Wednesday, where the en-
emy was strongly located wish machine
guns, the French have gained all ex-
cept the extreme northeastern corner
he said. "The enemy has had to with
draw somewhat from the plain of the
Oise, east of the ridge.
The last official gains, on August 16,
are west Of Roye, where a small local
salient was flattened out by direct
advance. A small salient north of AL
bert was given up voluntarily by the
enemy on August IA and occupied by
the British. This is the fourth time
that the Germans in local spots have
voluntarily retired from the line which
they have been holding since the AL
lies took the initiative on July Is with
our counter offensive.
