The fiotilla was first fired upon from
both river banks near Kakutzkaya, and
half mile further on encountered a

fresh orders.
Nor did the land troops reach their
goal They encountered their FIRST re-
sistance by the Soviet troops at the point
where the Log River bisects the railway.

"England's step, which is doubtless
backed by the remainder OF the Entente,

Copyright. 1918; oil rights reserred
LONDON, Aug. 1s.-The German news
papers are evif,cing increasing alarm
over tho prospects OF a trade war after
the military struggle is over. Herr
Heincken. general director of the North
German Lloyd Steamship Line. in an
article in which he discusses the entry
Of the United States Into the war. says :
II should certainty like to warn the
German people against Understanding
our latest adversary. In toughness and
endurance the American Is but little
inferior to the Englishman. What one
ances at all events compels respect for
the energy wherewith they attack every
new problem"
L. =. Intervention Big Blow.
He doubts whether the difficulties of
transporting the American army with
immense supplies can be overcome. and
adds: ~.
Economically. especially regarded
from the point Of view Of German ship
ping interests. American Intervention. to
which we would be foolish to close our
eyes. IL heavy blow to US and II re-
mains for history to determine whether
covetousness for German ships in Ameri-
can harbors played decisive part
therein. In any case the best and most
valuable German steamships. which are
ha r1l no. Hara -
and are now engaged in transporting
American troops and munitions TO
France and England.
Did not Americans foresee this way
OF employing German ships In the event
of participation in the war. and were
they not conscious that a large number
Of these ships would fall victim to sub
marihes?' ..
Doubts Trade boycott Here.
Herr Heihclten then discusses the
damage done to the North German
Lloyd and other German shipping in
terests through ths prohibition OF in
tercourse between the German shipping
Offices and their agents in America. He
continues '"rhe threads spun labori-
ousiy through many years are thus torn
up. Our piers and premises in New
York have been sold. for many millions
OF marks. To offset this We will be re-
CURED to build UP a totally new Or
ganiIation."
Regarding Germany's future relations
with America he counsels caution in
assuming that America at the conclu-
sion OF the war will associate herself
with Great Britain In trade war
against the Central Empires, pointing
out the failure OF British propaganda In
America for such a boycott. He says
American corporations have made all
preparations for an International trade
war after the war. having accumulated
great stocks OF supplies for that purpose.
