VIENNA PAPERS
 COMMENT ON U. S.
 "AMAZING FEAT"

The Hague, July 19.-In outspoken comment on the growth of American strength in France, the Socialist Arbi- ter Zeitung of Vienna says there is no doubt that more than 1,00O,O00 Amer ican troops already have arrived in Europe. It declares that this is a feat of organization as amazing as the creation of the British army.
 American participation in the fighting" it adds. increases the Ger man task to one of gigantic magnl- tude. It is easily understandable that the German command is trying to reach a great decision before the full weight of the United States Is felt"

ANOTHER ALLIED OFFENSIVE TO BE LAUNCHED, IN 1918 Present Franco American Drive Is Only a Starter
 for Operations.
 ED FALL OF SOISSONS
 EXPECTED SOON |. $. Officials at Washington Expect to See Germans Retreat From Chateau Th7,rry in 4s

Washington, July 19 War Depart. ment officials expect the real coun- ter-offensive against the Germans to be launched later in the present year This was disclosed today to members of the House Military Committee by General March. chief of staff, who in- dicated that the employment of pos sebly eight American divisions in the present double battle on the Aisne- tMarne-Rheims front would not affect materially plans to hur1 overwhelm- ing man power into the great strug- gle to come when the effort to beat the enemy back off French and Bel gian soil begins.
 It was made plain that the smash ing attack of Franco American forces on the Aisne-Marne line is as yet re- garded as only minor operation in comparison to what is to come. The success of the drive launched yester- day by General Foch, however, has already been startling.
 Official reports from Paris tonight said 1000 prisoners and 360 guns had been captured. The Berlin state- ment admitted French advances, but ignored American participation, and claimed 10000 prisoners had been taken by the Germans in their drive launched Monday. Apparently the en- emy commanders dare not admit to the German people that American armies are already fighting over a lnog front and scoring repeated suc- cesses over veteran German divisions.
 Reports late in the day from Lon- don and Paris indicated that further advances had been made by the Franco-American forces during the day. Official advices from General Pershing led to the hope that Sois- sons, nearly 10 miles inside the Ger man lines night before last, soon would be in allied hands
 The belief began to take shape in the minds of many staff officers here that another 48 hours might see the Germans beating nasty re- treat from the salient they held south of the Marne and possibly from the whole great bend they forced in the allied line when they struck on the Chemin-des-Dames front last May and forced their way to the Marne.
 Unless the Franco-American troops are brought to halt definitely before Sunday night it is freely predicted the enemy will be forced to fall back. Ev- en if he is successful in evading the jaws of the trap that is closing on him he will be compelled to abandon vast quantities of war material and will lose many prisoners in making good his escape, it is believed.

ADVISES WILSON
 AGAINST FIXING
 OF COTTON PRICE
Representative Lever Says He Has Overcome Advo-
 cates of U. $. Control.

Washington, July 19.-Government control or the fixing of the price of the 1918 cotton crop would not be feasible at this time, President Wilson was told today by Representative Le- yer of South Carolina, chairman of the house agricultural committee.
 MT. Lever called at the white house after series of conferences here with cotton men at which the larger growers and bankers urged that the government acquire the crop thru d cotton corporation while tEe small CT farmers opposed any government interference.
 Representative Lever told the pres ident the crop could be handled if marketed slowly, notwithstanding the present high prices and said he had been able to convince the advo- cates of government acquisition of the individuality of such action.

 Allies Assume Offensive.
 The offensive on the entire wes- tern front in France seems now defi- nitely to have been shifted from the ,%ands of the Germans to those of the enterte allies. East and west of Rheims where the eGrmans last Mon- day started a battle along 65-mile front, from Chateau Thierry to East ern Champagne, the enemy is now on the defensive on most of the sectors where there is any fighting.
 Friday saw the Germans lose addi- tional ground along the Marne to the French and Italian troops. East of Rheims the Germans have not seen fit to resume the fighting. In the re- zion southwest of Ypres the British have carried out another successful incursion into the German lines, cap- turing the village of Meteren, point V istr;l ;l3ogic value fct observation purposes, while further south Aus tralian troops gained ground.
 The two maneuvers cost the Ger mans nearly 400 men made prisoner and the loss of a number of machine guns.

Germans Unable to Steam Tide.

(ASSOclaCeG PfeSS summary
 Notwithstanding the fact that the Germans have thrown large rein forcements into the new battle line between Soissons and the region of Chateau Thierry they nowhere thus far have been able to stem the tide of the onslaughts the American and French troops are making against them.
 Friday saw the Americans and French battle their way farther east ward into the deep triangular salient which has Soissons, Rheims and Chat eau Thierry as it's points and success fully withstand a terrific counter at- tack by the Germans on the plateau southwest of Soissons where the al- lied guns dominate this important strategic town.
 The gains on Friday were carried to their greatest depth in the center of the 25-mile line and on the south ern flank northwest of Chateau Thierry where the Americans are holding forth. The fighting was par ticularly violent turnout the day around Soissons and in the region of Chaudun, where the Germans sent in large forces of reserves in an endea- vor to push back the allied troops.
 Here the American artillery did mo- table work, killing or wounding many of the enemy and aiding greatly in staying off the Germans. On the sector where the Americans are fight ing northwest of Chateau Thierry the German line was driven in upon the nlateau northwest of Bonnes, and to the heights to the north of Courc- haamps, the former position repres- enting a gain of three and a half miles from the point of original de- parture at Torcy.
 Greatest Gain Seven Miles.
 While it is not possible as yet geographically to de-limit with exactitude the gains made in the two days fighting along the front by the French and Americans, it is known that at it's deepest point the penetra- tion has reached approximately seven miles and that over the entire 25 miles it ranges down to about two miles.
 In addition to the infliction of ex- tremely heavy casualties on the ene- my the French and American forces up to the present have taken more than 17.000 prisoners including two

Details of the San Diego's destruction remained wholly yelled tonight. ex- cept for story told by an unidenti- fled naval aviator on patrol, who ap- parently witnessed the disaster from the air. The story as obtained by villagers was that while flying along the Long Island shore he saw the San Diego suddenly list and later saw hundreds of men struggling in the water. He immediately sped for the Point O'Woods. where he landed and got in communication with a wireless station which he ordersd to send out s. o. 8. calls.

reports of attacks on other ships and that warnings had been sent to coast wise shipping to keep close to the coast, naval officials steadfastly maintained they had no information on which to believe that the submar- inc had come again.
 The official dispatches to the navy tonight were so far behind the news report of the disaster and so lacking in details that little official opinion could be formed.
 Built in 1902.
 The San Diego, formerly the Cali fornia, was built in 1902 at a cost of $5,341, ,754 She carried 8-inch and IA 6-inch guns in her main battery and had speed of 22.2 knots and hour. The San Diego was a vessel of the same class as the cruiser Mem phis which went ashore in storm last year and was wrecked on the rocks off the Pacific coast.

Report Other Ships Attacked.

New York, July 19.-German sub- marines appear to have renewed op- erations off the American coast. The United States armored cruiser San Diego was sunk not far from the en- trance of New York harbor today Cir cumstantial reports-reaching here i'm dicate that she was torpedoed. There were also reports tonight, tho not confirmed, that ohter ships had been attacked, one being described as a coastwise passenger ship. Whether there had been toll of lives taken on the San Diego was not known up to late hours. Not more than 325 had been accounted for out of a crew of 1,144 men baoard the war ship of whom some 300 reached New York On tank steamship lat 10 o'clock tonight. Thirty-two, a lieuten- ant, an ensign and 30 sailors were landed in lifeboats this afternoon on the Long Island shore. Survivors were reported to have been picked up by other ships, however, and to be on their way to New York. The San Diego was sunk at 11:3O "a. m. about 10 miles southeast of Fire 1s- land light, which is off the Yong 1s- land shore, about 50 miles east of the entrance to New York harbor and on the marine highway of transatlantic ships bound in and out of the port. Altogether, the navy department an nounced, that the cause of the loss of the San Diego had not been de- termined, information received from reliable sources in the afternoon in- dicated that submarines had been op- erating off the coast and that she had been torpedoed. Residents of Bay Shore and Babylon said they had heard gunfire and explosions at sea shortly before noon.
 The 32 officers and sailors came ashore in three boats between 3 and z ID. m. at Point O'Woods, which is a remote sandspit. They were held at the coast guard station where fn- ouiries were barred. The firing con- tinued during the afternoon and the evening, the villagers reported.
 The reason for it could only be coniedtured. Fleets of submarine chasers, it is known. put out from New York and other coast potts. i'm mediately upon receipt of the news of the disaster and destroyers also were rushed to the scene. Seven mer- chant steamers were reported to hay responded to s. o. S. calls of the San Diego and shore wireless stations, and to have stood by picking up sur vivors.
