the ST. Claude farm. which makes the
hold of the French on the southern
part of the Thiescourt plateau secure.
At Plomont the Germans found po-
sitions all ready to receive them ana
were able to offer strong resistance
The enemy took Plemont during the
fighting early in June and their old
trenches there are still organized
with wire entanelements.
The entire region about Lassigny
is cut by spurs and ridges which fa-
cilitate defense operations. At Canny-
Sur-Metz, two miles northwest of
l-assigny the Germans are in the old
trench positions whore wire entangle-
ments still remain The enemy is
seeking to unite parts OF the old
French line with some of his own for
mer positions and is continuing his
efforts to hold on there.
Back TO Trench Warfare.
These tactics have again changed
the entire character of the fighting
bringing the troops back to hand
grenade encounters In the trenches.
The battle for the Thiescourt area,
however, is only small part of the
operation in progress and develop
ments In other parts of the line may
modify the situation before the battle
is reopened here.
The Germans have had one advant-'
age. They have been falling back
upon their supplies while the French
have been obliged to bring theirs up
over a difficult country
So far General Humbert's troops
have had four days of constant fight
ing, fully half of which has been spent
in gas infested sectors.
During all this fighting II was the
machine gun against the rifle, the
Germans having comparatively few
infantrymen in the front line. but be-
ing plentfully supplied with machine
guns--vrtnally one for each man,
and all ambushed.
Besides holding the two important
crests of ST. Claude farm and Ecou-
villon, the French are within 10G
yards of Monolither. another high
plateau which commands a consider
able extent of ground to the north
and east. From Ecouvillon the French
have a good view Of the Divette val
ley, where the Germans appear to be
trying to establish position with the
aid of their earthworks which were
constructed in 1914.

Some facts entirely new to the COM

submitted by the treasury with the re-
suit that tonight the outlook is that

will be adopted or that a compromise
embodying most of the substantial
principles of the treasury plan will be

New York, Aug. 14.-William Eng
lish Walling, secretary of the Herald
democratic league made public to-
night the text Of tho organizations in
structions to its mission now visiting
the allied countries. This was done
Mr.. Walling explained, because the
league had received information Ger
tain statements of members of the
mission had been used by "pacifist fa-
natics' in Europe to give the impress
sion the American people were not
behind the president
The following were their instruc-
tions in respect to the proposed inter-
national socialist conference;
"1-All delegates admitted to the
conference must accept as the mini
mum peace terms of democracy the
fourteen principles formulated by
President Wilson January s, and the
similar peace terms adopted by the
entente socialists and the British la
Dor party at London, February 90.
"2-All delegates must recognize this
war as being a war between autooracy
and democracy, and must be doing all
in their power to bring about the tri-
umph of democracy.
"3-All delegates from autocratic
countries must be using their full pow
er for the immediate overthrow OF
their autocratic governments"
Walling Explains Rules.
Explaining these, Mr.. Walling snid.
THE importance of these in ~suc-
tions are clear when it is realized that
without them an international social
ist conference would be composed of
at least 80 per cent of kaiserites, Boil
sheviki, pro-Germans, pro- Bolsheviki,
pacifist fanatics, pacifist compromisers
and 'neutrals.'
And the power and threat of these
treacherous forces must not be un-
derestimated even in England and
France. OF the 900 parliamentary can
didates of the labor party so far chos-
en-, some 225 are pacifists. While there
Is little danger that the majority of
these can be elected, there is grave
danger that very many may be. In
France two-thirds of the socialist par
ty, led by Longuet, and an even larg-
er part of the unions, are in the paci.
fist camp, in bitter opposition to their
own government and anxious TO meet
any and all enemy socialists--the
Scheidemann kaiscrists specifically in
