VIERECK THINKS u. S. WOULD BE
WITH HUNS IF HE'D HAD HIS WAY

NEW YORK, Aug.2.-George Syl-
vester Viereck, editor of the Father
land, the name OF which was changed
to Viereck's American Weekly when
this country entered the war. and who
is said to have admitted to federal
authorities that he received many
thousands Of dollars for spreading
German propaganda, revealed to
Deputy Attorney General Becker here
his plan for making the United States
pro German.
Briefly, his idea was for the Ger
man government to secretly purchase
a leading newspaper in every large
American city and by the subtle use
of propaganda, wean the American
people away from the cause of the en-
tente allies. His proposal, which he
thinks would have meant an expendi-
ture of s50.000,000, was discussed at
various conferences attended by DR..
Bernard Dernburg, German propa-
ganda chief; DR.. Albert, German fin
ancial agent in this country; DR.. Carl
A. Fluehr, and others.
Viereck's ambitious project fell
through and DR.. Albert and other Ger
man officials furnished the money
with which DR.. Edward A. Rumely is
alleged to have purchased the Evening
Mail.
Niereck's thriftiness is revealed by
the fact that he is now worth about
100000. After the United States en-
tered the war and the German govern
ment withdrew its support from his

bravery and achievements of the Ger

''It is not our fault that we are en-

shameful peace. We must. therefore

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. 2-American uncon-
Germ in a close fight not only has sur
prised the enemy, but it has brought
a feeling of dismay to picked detach-
ments charged with the duty of driv-
ing the fear of the Germans into the
soldiers from overseas.
1t appears to be a sort of gospel
among the Germans that when they
attack for the purpose of spreading
terror, after careful plans and prepara-
tions, that the adversary should lie
low and succumb or surrender at the
scheduled moment. They are slow to
admit that their chosen victims may
be anything but terrorized or that
they may be found anywhere else
than under cover when the fright
fulness" comes along.
Yet they do find American boys at
times coming out into the open, often
rashly and unnecessarily, to meet the
worst they have to offer. The fight
ing spirit often amounts to foolhardi-
ness and that is how the Germans
classify it, although more in distress
thdn IN anger.
Won't Get Ratified
Some of the men from across the
Rhine, declare that it is hot only fool
hardy, but that it violates the fighting
rules and that since 1914 for man to
face them in the open when it is their
attack.

probable that unnecessary losses are
attributable to this temerity-losses

capture of the entire ridge which
forms the water shed between

The capture of the important
grounds to the westerly side of

Further east on the lines the

FRONT, Noon, August 2-The
whole American line moved for
ward today while the army along
the flank from Scissors to
Rheims pressed hard against the
sides of the German salient.
Their gains were made almost
without resistance. Hammered
as they have been for days, the
Germans withdrew during the
night so that when the Aneri-
cans, who were supported on
their right and left by the
French, started early this morn

usual machine gun fire.
In open order the men plowed
their way through the rain soak

The indications are that the
Germans will not make a stand
until they reach the water shed
