FAILING TO BREAK AMERICAN AVIATOR THROUGH, GERMANS PLUNCES TO EARTH MAY SEEK PEACE TN DUEL WITH HUN
Lord Robert Cecil Predicts New Teuton Move Toward Ending War; First Hope to Establish Rule in East.
By Review Leased wIrcl

LONDON, May 3-In the personal opinion Ot Lord Robert Cecil, minister Of blockade, the failure of Germany's knockout offensive" on the western front win result iG a big peace offen- sive, directed mainly against Great Britain and possibly made in an at tractive form, but which will not af- ford any terms the allies can look at
 In this opinion, made in a statement to the Associated Press, Lord Rob- ert expressed the further belief that -he new peace offensive would be largely for German consumption, be- cause the rulers of Germany know if they have to rely on their own re- sources they cannot hold out much longer.
 Will Rule In East
 Personally" Lord Robert contin- ued, T always expected a peace movement as the immediate conse- quence of the western offensive. It evidently is part of the enemy's plans but I think it is mainly intended for home cOnsumntiOn. It is extremely rash to prophecy on anything con nected with this war. but, again ex, pressing my personal opinion, I be- lieve the German general idea is to continue the fighting in the west until they lave got complete commercial hold in the east.
 ''l'hey hope to establish themselves with Germe9cphile government in Russia, and. with that country once oh its legs, and its resources behind them, they believe there is no reason why they should fight the world for ever and be unconquerable.'

 They had patrolled the section once and were starting on a second tour when sparkling specks were seen in the sky far away within the Geryman lines. The American airmen turned quickly. but kept their formation. The men in the front lines watched the two formations and saw the German group continue on its course and the American planes starting out to head them off. The American pilots soon recognized the other formation was German and went up higher, but the enemy did not seem to see them until the Americans were almost overhead.
 Suddenly the American formation took adive toward the Germans who swung about sharply. Then the ma  chine guns came into action and the battle was on, while watchers on the ground were unable to tell which was which as all ten machines darted in and out. up and down and turned and banked.

STATE DELEGATIONS AT THE
CONGRESS.

Alexandria, La, June 13th.-Sev-
eral states have sent unusually large
delegations to the thirteenth annual
session OF the Sunday School Con-

was expected, Texas, the Lone Star
State, Is claiming the banner 1t Is
understood, however, that Louisiana,
the state in which the meeting is be.

tendance contest, but among the big
delegations from the various states
and from cities that have attracted
much attention is the delegation from
the Blue Grass State. Kentucky has
maintained her splendid record
Then the Buckeye State, Ohio, is
here with ardent Sunday school
workers. Illinois with Chicago lead

state, has placed itself squarely upon
the map, while Georgia has surprised
even the most ardent supporters
The Old Volunteer State, Tennessee,
the home of the Congress officials,
kept her record in her special dele

while the Crescent City, the me.

takes off the banner for having the
largest delegation from any one city
In the United States; yet Shreveport

most of the slow trains pass, is one

to be understood that Mississippi

nor that Alabama will be left off the
map, while Florida comes up with
splendid representation. The Ca

fact, the Congress Secretary's enroll
ment shows that this is about as
cosmopolitan a delegation of Sunday
school workers as has ever assem-
bled, and the. state delegations came
up to the highest point in numbers.
