On May I, box cars began 10 move

carrying roads are expected TO have

Cars are being parked in wheat

there is any indication that addi-

West of Merris Australian troops

both sectors prisoners and machine

Southwest of scissors French troops

a half miles. from the south of Am
blemy to the east OF Montgober, cap
tured German positions, and at some
points advanced their line to a depth
Of a mile and a quarter, says the
French communication. Prisoners to
the number of 1000 thus far have been
counted.
The Germans are busily engaged in
attempts to repulse vigorous attacks
by the allied armies north of the Lys
and south of Aisne rivers, says the
German night statement.
The losses among the British storm
ing infantry for the entire engagement
we're extremely light, which was due
largely to the fact that the show was
over before the enemy was able to or
ganize serious resistance.
AS a special feature of the program,
Australian forces on the left of the
column carried out an attack Of their
own with amazing results, adding near
ly half a hundred prisoners to the bag.
The morale Of the prisoners taken
was not high. These men and others
captured recently in this sector have
appeared to be much disheartened by
their failure to get bigger results in
their offensive. They had expected to
get ahead much farther than they
have. These men have professed to
believing that the United States was
not going to be able to render much
assistance to the allies.

Washington.-Plan of the Ameri-
can Government for aiding Russia in
rehabilitating herself which became
known, revealed that the first step con-
templated is informal assistance
through American business and indus
trial leaders, and disposed of widely
published reports that a diplomatic or
political mission would be the means
OF carrying out President Wilson's
promise to stand back of Russia The
personnel Of a group Of men who will
carry expert advice and material aid,

disinterested friendship to the Russian
people. now is being discussed. They
will include only men familiar with
Russian economic and transportation
conditions. Ample police protection is
expected to be afforded them, but all
show OF military force will be avoided.
Officials were reluctant to discuss
this phase of the situation, realizing
that Germany would seize upon it as
means OF distorting the intentions
Of the United States. For that reason
1t is likely that full details OF the as
sistance to be proffered will not be
disclosed until after the Germans learn
Of them by finding the plans actually
in effect. AS Russia is in great need
Of many raw materials and manufac-
tured goods. the United States pro-
poses to license freely for export what
ever is recommended as necessary by
the business men who will go to the
aid Of that country. Tonnage will be
provided for shipment to Siberian
ports, from where the supplies can be
distributed to the interior. AS the
material expression Of the charity of
the American people the Red Cross
also is ready to send relief supplies in
large Quantities.
United States Consuls in Russia will
give active assistance in the work Of
reconstruction, and to this extent only
will the aid have an official aspect.
Startling dispatches dealing with con-
ditions in Russia made no change in
the plans already formulated. Internal
disturbances we're thought to accentu-
ate the need Of injecting a steadying
influence into the situation, and Off
cials said they proposed to go ahead
on the line laid down.
