GEN. BIDDLE GUEST
AT LONDON DINNER
American Commander Says
Friendship Is at Climax.

LONDON, July ajor-Gen. John
Biddle. commanding the American forces
in the United Kingdom, was among the
guests at the annual Anglo French din
ner organized by the Alsace-Lor RI In .
Patriotic League in London last night
in connection with the French national
fete. Baron Burnham presided.
Gen. Sir Francis Lloyd. replying to the
toast Success to the Allied Forces"
said
There can be no peace by negotiations
nothing but peace by the sword Now
that we have an indescriba BILE asset
which has come over to us across the
western waves at a time we most need
it we surely should carry through and
attain the desired end"
General Biddle, replying to the toast
our Guests" said:
Great as have been the sympathy
and friendship between the French and
American nations they never have
reached a climax until to-day when.
happily, both nations are fghting side
by side"
Gen Biddle read a message sent by
Marshal Joffre to Gen. Pershing. tho
American commander In France, in
which. referring to the Fourth OF July
and Fourteenth Of July celebrations. he
said:
ION these two solemn days American
and French hearts beat In unison. All
feel that tho moment approaches when.
thanks to their common efforts, the de-
feat of Germany will allow all free ma
lions to celebrate at last the inde-
pendence OF the world"

GERMAN OSTRICHES
CAN'T SEE u. S. ARMY
Million? Impossibiel Better
Stay Home, Says expert"

AMSTERDAM, July 14.-Gen. Won der
Osten -sacken, military expert OF the
Rhentsh Wesfph1ltdn Gazette. Joins in
the chorus with Lieut. Gen. Baron Won
Ardenne. military expert of the TdDs-
blatt. and other critics who profess to
disbelieve the figures given by Secre-
tarS of War Baker regarding the num-
Der of American troops now In France.
"Our information" says Gen. Osten-
Sacken, "is that there ere no more than
half a million Americans in Europe,
and not one-third Of these are at the
front"
In a column article the writer runs
the whole gamut of familiar arguments
proving perhaps TO the satisfaction of
the Teutonic mind that there Is moth
ing in Secretary Bakers statement.
The keynote Of German expert opin-
ion is that America cannot put up a
really big equipped army, and II armed
and equipped II cannot be transported
Gen. Osten-Sacken's article concludes
with this naive observation:
III the Americans cannot come with
an army at least equal to that OF Rus
STA at tho beginning OF the war, they
had better stay home. In the end
France viii thank them IL by doing so
their country be spared further de-
struction."

ing at least three killed. Our own

know to what extent he purposes exer-
cising this authority.
The belief here Is that the President
will not act Immediately after signing
the joint resolution but will wait until

son. While 1t Is known that the Presi-
dent has pretty we'll made up his mind

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE,
July 1.-THE German army now Is full
OF strange contradictions All the latest
attacks seem to have been in the hands
of highly specialized, intensively trained

fesult Is hrst that the average quality

second, that these especially crammed
storm troops and machine gunners. af-
ter their losses In the previous big Of
fonsive, must be reformed and go to
school again to the examining establish
ment with the new recruits.
This is the explanation OF much that
Is reported from the front: numerous
examples prove that the common German
troops. as opposed to the specialists.
have to be bribed. wheedled, scolded
and punished as never before. Prince
Franz recently reprimanded his men Sc
verely for offences against discipline.
They had not put up wire as ordered
some of them had refused to go into the
line. They simply replied when ordered
that when they tried to repair the
trenches the British shot them. perhaps
the most ingenious defence ever put up
by a soldier.
A little later the corps general issued
an order complaining OF the gross lack
of discipline and ordering the ofYicers to
be more drastic. Within the last few
days German soldiers have been bribed
with an offer Of three weeks leave II
they bring British prisoners back on
their patrola OF No Mans Land.
The same sort Of thing 10 observable
even In the air service. Baron Rich
tofen's circus" fell to pieces imme-
diately when he was killed, like q COM
pany that loses its star actor. This Is
partly the result of excessive booming
OF such heroes. who are allowed to col
lect their own troops from what squad
rons they like.
In short. the greater part OF the Ger
man army is now becoming divided into
sheep and goats. The sheep are as good
as ever. perhaps even better in certain
tactical points; the goats are great
deal more goatlike, even famous units
losing their historical pride. The Ques-
ton Is whether the courage and skill of

WANT TO Be BACK

Exchanged Germans Tell Of

LONDON, July 14.-Germans who have
been informed in England. and German
prisoners of war who recently hsve been
sent back to Germany from England, are
not happy to reach the fatherland.
Lettes prove their surprise and dismay
when they discover the trp. state OF
things In Germany. One letter from a
returned prisoner reads:
About 10 o'clock in the morning we
left for the good old fatherland. The
first stop was at Goch. in Germany,
where we were kept six days for ex-
animation. From there I was sent to

common interests of the Allies II Ger

LYONS, France. July l4.-Franee
again has honored the name of Presi-
dent Wilson. Lyons, the second city of
France where tho most important Bas-
tile Day celebration in the country took
place, gave the name of the President
Of the United States to its newest
bridge. one of the finest in Europe.
Before q vast multitude which blackened
both shores Of the Rhone and stretched
for miles up along the heights and
cliffs, which wall in the city. William
Graves Sharp. the Ambassador OF the
United States. officially acknowledged
the honor.
The Project Of the Rhone, in introduce
ing Ambassador Sharp. hailed President
Wilson as immortal, the philosopher and
statesman Of the age. Senator Her
riott. the Mayor of Lyons, in christening
the bridge. added that the city deemed 1T
an honor to link President Wilson's
name with its own and said the bridge
will remain as a monument to the I'M
selfish action Of the United States In
intervening In the war In behalf OF en-
dangered humanity.
The Mayor welcomed the military and
diplomatic representatives of the United
States and gave the freedom OF the city
to the bronzed American fighters. In
marching across the bridge with nxed
bayonets. these American soldiers re-
ceivsd q tremendous ovation and were
the first American soldiers the city ever
had seen. The Americans were followed
by tbs Italians, serbians, British. Afri-
can. French cavalry and the territorial
and foreign lesionsry detachments.
The men from the French army at the
front were not forgotten on the ami
versary of the fall Of the Bastile. In
addition to the ordinary rations each re-
ceived a quarter of a pound OF picked
ham. or pork, a half bottle OF wine. q
bottle OF champagne for each four mer
and jam and cigars.
LYONS, July 14.-Ambassador SHARP
prefaced his speech with an impromptu
tribute to French children, who, he said
explained to him the greatness Of the
French nation. In his speech he com
pared the bridge which he was tnausu'
rating to the constant arrival of ships
in France from the United States. Tht
Ambassador said:
when a just, benefcent peace come.
again to the world this internationa
ocean bridge will become a highwa,
leading to the great mills of your great
city. providing means for the mutual
exchange OF allied products. In that
day Of peace shall We not all md the
truth OF the saying that necessity is
the mother of invention and find means

heretofore supposed could only be man

THREE FACTIONS SEEK

PEKIS, July 10 (delayed) One Of the
chief difficulties OF the situation in ST.
IBERIA is that three different parties are
proposing to form a new Government
there. The least popular OF these is the
Hardin party, representatives Of the old
regime. who are believed to be out O:
touch with the democratic tendencies OF
tho day.
In Vladivostok are some members of
the original self-appointed provisional
Government which functioned for a few
days at Omsk until 1t was dispersed by
the Bolshevtki. and they are now pro-
claiming themselves as the only con-
stitutional authority in Siberia They
have received no official recognition in
Vladivostok. where local affairs have
been placed under the control of a mu-
nicipal council
Siberia itself has government which
emerged a fortnight ago at Novonikola-
yevsk and apparently now has been
transferred to Omsk. where aided by
the C1echo-Slovaks a growing volunteer
army appears TO be in control OF the
situation. In 10 far as control has been
achieved.
The principal need OF the moment Is
that the Cxecho-Slovaks operating In
the Vladivostok region should receive
every facility to cross Manchuria and
effect junction with their compatriots
at Irkutsk. Whether the Government
at Onek is capable OF assuming control
remains to be seen, but II Is obvious that
II sprang into being through the action
OF the Czecho-Slovaks. and the Allies
should give all possible support to the
Czecho- Slovaks as the only tangible
power in Siberia at the present moment
When the Bolsheviki have been com
pietely chushed in Siberia and the Ger.
man and Austrian prisoners IN the
Trans Baikalia and Amur provinces have
been eliminated there will be time
enough to consider the question OF the
nature of the new government for ST.
IBERIA, As regards the ability OF tho
Czecho- Slovaks to master the prisoners
and the Bolshevik forces In the Trans
Baikalia little doubt need be entertained
provided they are granted access through
Manchuria and are properly supplied
from Nladivostok and backed by Gen
Semenov's force and other local or.
