defended by machine gun nests and by artillery behind in the hills all along from Noyon to Chauny that it will re- quire considerable work by the heavy ar tillery to deal with the situation before a crossing in force is attempted
 On the right bank of the Ailette the Germans are resisting stoutly from a strong position along the edge of the forest of Coucy. Small parties of French have effected a crossing of the stream, but no serious effort has yet been made to establish a position on the opposite bank
 As the situation is today, General Man gin has won an incontestable and sub stantial victory, of which there is plenty of material evidence on the field, be- sides 13,000 prisoners and 300 cannon cap- tured. He set out first to drive the Ger mans from the plateau of Andignicourt Nampcel and Carlepont by a violent thrust northward, then by a quick fac ing about toward the east to drive them off the heights west of the Ailette. thus clearing the south bank of the Disc and lerding support to the Third arny's ac- ton in the hills of Thiescourt.
 The programme succeeded in every form and so rapidly that though the enemy may say that he retired unhin- dered, some of his staff officers were obliged to flee in scanty attire. A Ger man general was seen running from one of the exits of a cavern at the top of Mount Choicy without boots or sus- penders, just as the French soldiers ap- peared at the other entrance.

The correspondent, who later visited that cavern, found in 1t other evidences
 ot the nasty departure of the German di- visional staff that occupied it. Along with the generals boots and suspend CTS there were several pairs of costly field glasses. a complete telephone sys- ten and other booty that it has not been
 possible yet to inventory.
 IT. the piles of ammunition and arms that have been collected on and around the height there are considerable num- ber of bayonets with the saw tool and

 It the Germans did not intend to remain south of the Disc they evidently thought
 they could hold this position and they
 were driven out of it precipitately, though it was stoutly defended and prov ed to be hard task for General Man gins army. The slopes are covered with
 brush that hides the gullies and cavern entrances, where machine nests III ann
 bush held up the division engaged in the
 attack from o'clock in the morning to Is in the evening. The Germans were even preparing to spend the nlSht ID their elaborately fitted headquarters In the quarry at the top. But after short artillery preparation, the place was stormed and the German staff had only just time to get away One officer who was taken prisoner said, ''The French are making war in an en- tirely new fashion. It is a great attack. Rank and file prisoners without eXcep- ton agree that Germany is doomed to defeat Most of these men were in ma chine gun sections that German tactlcs sacrificed to protect retreat, and they ex-
 pressed their sentiment freely

MORE OF GERMANY'S PROP PAGANDA BEING FOUND BY BECKER
Rumely Tried to Work It Off on the Public Through Evening Mails Syndi-
 cate, But Failed

New York, August 25.-Germany conducted "subtle propa ganda" in 1917 to check American preparation for war by leading the public to be- 1ieving the German people were about to overthrow 'Kaiserism,' Alfred L. Becker, deputy state attorney general asserted tonight in making public the results of his examination of George T. Odell, correspondent of the New York Evening Mail, who went to Ger many with Ambassador Von Bern storff after the breaking of diplomatic relations.
 According to Mir. Becker Odell was granted interviews with reputed lead CTS of German thought, and was en- couraged to send back articles "de- signed to persuade America, by what would appear the testimony of an un- prejudiced observer, that the German masses were about to rise against their masters and that the war could be won by political measures without force of arms.'
 MT. Becker said Odell was required to send his articles by cable, because if they were sent by wireless they might be picked up in Russia, where Germany then was disseminating different brand of propaganda.
 Odell, MT. Becker says, got much Of his information from Dr. Roediger, censor in the German foreign office, Professor Gaevernitz of Freiburg uni versity; pr. Koertz of Heidelburg and other alleged leaders of thought" including representatives of the so- called liberal party.
 Accordingto MT. Becker, Odell pre- pared an additional series of articles after his return to America, which Dr. l Edward A. Rumley, then managing edi- tor of the New York Evening Mail, ordered widely distributed throughout the Evening Mails syndicate. The dis tribution was not accomplished, how ever, because the manager of the syE- dicate refused to permit their sale.

 counter attacks against the French be-
 tween the Disc and Ailette rivers, in an
 endeavor to hold back General Mangin s army, which is threatening the -entlre German front in this region. Here, also the Germans have been reinforced by troops from the dual monarchy. North CT Soissons, in the region of Bagneux, the French have made further progress east ward and now are abreast the railroad line running from Soissons to Laon. considerable number of additional pris- oners have fallen into French hands.

WEEK OF SUCCESS

London, August 25.--{Via Montreal) A week of continuous allied success closed gloriously Saturday when the British stormed no fewer than ID ini- portant strongholds. A semi official statement from Paris emphasizes that the whole interest Saturday centered on the British front, where gains or ground of the most important tact.- cal value had been achieved, especial . ly in the direction of Bapaume, which is now virtually at the mercy of the British owing to the capture of the Ancre Valley railway.
 The significant part of the success is that the Americans west of Fishes and south of the Vesle have been as- signed to the task of hammering tha German communications within the north of the Aisne district. They have been steadily reinforced all the time and if their present movement devel- ops, it is likely to have serious conse- duences for the Germans, whom Ger erals Mangin and Humbert are out flanking. While Ludendorff deems Il prudent to retire from this region, his decision to withdraw to the 1917 line may be hastened by the Americans

General March's Statement That 100000 Can Go Through Germ ans
 Electrified Nation
BUT PEACE WILL
 PRESENT PROBLEMS
 NEW TO OUR NATION
Men in Uniform Are Sure to Be Feature of the Ma tional Life for Many
 Years to Come
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, August 25.-(Speciai.1 General March, chiet of staff, believes the probability of concluding the Euro pean war in glorious triumph next year certain. When he made statement to that effect before the House committee on military affairs, presumption was that he Was speaking not only in vain too optimistic, but probably through in tention, for moral effect, not only to stimulate the members of the committed, but the country at large.
 It now develops that General March is sincerely of the opinion that the war may be won before the conclusion of next year. Through appropriations, the government is prepared for three more years of struggle. Should the end come in 1sl9 and the idea of General March be substartiated, the American forces will have accomplished that which a month or more ago was regarded as practically impossible.
 No chief of staff of any country has ever made a more electrifying statement than this statement of General March:
  the German lines-at will" There is no question but that by July. 1919, Ameri' cans in France will number 100000. LESS SANGUINE OPINION Other army officers who have dis cussed the statement of General March hesitate to coincide with his opinion. some of the most adroit soldier diplo- mats in Washington do not deny con yiction that the war will endure throughout 1920, and that several years thereafter will elapse before all Ameri :an soldiers are returned from Europe This view is further amplified to mean that the time may never come in the lives of men now grown when the uni lorm of the soldier will not be com mon spectacle in every city of the United States.
 This difference of opinion among SOL diers who have studied the situation is the difference of opinion which has ani mated speculative conversation through out the nation. Everybody asks: "Wnc will the war be ended?" No one attempts a positive answer, and the opinion o1 each individual differs from that of the other General March has said in eff feet: "Put 100000 Americans in France and they will go through the Germa lines at will, and end the war nex year." Some of those who assist hin in the performance of his duty canno agree.
 An officer of high rank, in converse ton with the correspondent of The Age 2 Herald, said today: T have the greates respect. for the opinion of Genera March. Nevertheless, I differ with hin when he states that the war will o' brought to conclusion next year."
 THE PRODIGIOUS TASK
 He rave the following reasons: 'Whil' it is true that the tide has turned ant the allies aie now, perhaps for the ITS time, in the ascendency, and while

Paris, August 25.-The French have continued their progress east of Bag neaux, between the Ailette and the Aisne, according to the war office an- nouncement tonight. They repulsed counter attacks west of CrecyAu- Mont. Four hundred additional pris- oners have been taken.

 "Enemy forces stormed many times against our front extending after the battles of August 23 from west of tha Behagnies- Bapaume-W Warlencourt Ine. The attack was initiated by bringing in numerous tanks in the center against Bapaume itself. These attacks collapsed.

COMMUNITY SING
 VERY ENJOYABLE Programme Was One of Popular Numbers, But
 Each Had an Appeal

The programme for the community sing at Capitol park last night was some what lighter than usual, but every num- Der had an appeal for the listener. It was, in short, popular programme, for, while it was not over the heads of the untutored in musical art. every piece presented by the orchestra had ar tistic merit and every chorus number was sung with vim.
 Prof. Stephen Allsop led the songs for everybody and Philip Memoli conducted the orchestra as usual. The overture, Queen of Autumn" made a distinct hit and the smalled offerings were all warmly applauded.
 Sidney F. Lazarus was the four-minute orator. He was at his best and his pa triotic sentiments were delivered with telling effect.
 It is understood that with the begin ming of the first Sunday in September next Sunday-the sing will be gwen at 4:3O D. m. instead of p. m. The afternoon affairs were always attended by immense crowds and it is thought with their resumption the audiences will be just as large.

Uncle Sam as Buyer

Washington, August 25.-(Spe- cial.)-A statistician in the war de- partment has given a concrete iiius' tration. of the enormity of govern ment purchases for the prosecu- ton of the war.
 Since last September the govern ment has purchased for the army, at home and abroad, through the food administration. 225,ooo,ooc pounds of sugar. The government has purchased within that time 75,- 0O0,00 cans of tomatoes,
 The sugar bought would fill 33As 60-foot boxcars which would re- quire six men working eight hours a day. five years to unload. The cans containing the tomatoes. if placed end to end, would form line from the army on the Marne to Linda VistR, Cal.

ldSte ana al great cost we COHSlTuCleu simply because for the moment we are not in danger? And this idea. in my | opinion, will prevail in Congress. and prevail throughout the nation.'
 UNIVERSAL TRAINING CERTAIN
 The senator, in this line of thought. continued: "Of course, we will not main | tain a standing army of 100000 men. But we will maintain a large standing army. And consider the navy. We can send soldiers home, but we cannot evap- 1 crate warshpi. We will have become a great naval and military power; we will have tempered with European poli- tics, and we will continue to be fac tor in all world enterprises. Some of l these days this great question will be , an issue in national politics, and that issue will prevail. We have outgrown, ] or rather we were forced by German machinaton, to outgrow the Monroe doc ! Urine.
 And another thing might as well be borne in mind. There is a demand | throughout the United States for univer- sal military training. It will not be adopted in time of war because We can't !, fight Germany and at the same time pre- pare for conditions of future years. But l following the conclusion of peace we will require every boy in the United States to give certain number ot months in each of his maturer years l in way of preparation for any unto ward circumstances which might in sub- l sequent time confront his country. A;
 a result our boys will be more manly ! boys in physique and mentality, and 1T the end every malec itizen of the United States will be essentially a soldier.''
 THE PRESENT TRUTH
 But, reverting to the problems of the present, the true significance of the ad ministration's attitude has not been fully l appreciated. The administration is de termned to have 100000 fighting mer 1 in France by the middle of next year as soon as they can be transported. This means simply that the United States. totally unprepared less than tw' years ago. is now prepared to arm clothe, transport feed and otherwise maintain for an indefinite time an arm,
 of 100000 men stationed 5000 miles away l Only months ago, the great obstacl was lack of shipping facilities. It i known that for every man in France fiv
 tons of shipping continuously moving i
 necessary. Now, in other words, tn
 United States is prepared to keep con
 tinuously moving i've tons of shippin for each of It's 100000 soldiers as soo
 as they are in France.
 Tn way of expeditions and effectiv
 preparation, nothing In the history 0
 the world parallels this record of tn United States.
