VAR SUMMARY

Little change in the battle
situation has been created up 10
late this morning, London re-
ports.
The German offensive con-
inues TO he held up, the enemy
attacks up to this morning
having been repulscd nearly
everywhere with heavy losses.
London reports the recap
ture by Americans Of FOssey
and CreZaney, towns on the
south bank taken by the Ger
mans when<rthey crossed the
Marine. ~
At one point of the front
where the Americans are
fighting they organized a conn
ter attack late yesterday and
drove the Germans out In
short order.
A Paris dispatch says the
battle continues violently, esIe-
eiaIIy south of the Marne, and
in the region OF ChatillOn. EX-
cept for one sector south of
the Marine, the dispatch says,
there is no change In the gem
eral situation.
Both French and American
troops are reported counter nj
tacking In force and are taking
many prisoners.
Counter attacks by Ameri-
cans during the night are said
TO have netted them some l,500
prisoners.
A report direct from the
French front says at no place
on the whole front were the
Germans able 10 advance more
that 1000 yards, while at many
places they did not get beyond
the advanced line. London puts
the maximum enemy advance
ut four miles.
The L. y. army casualty list
today contains l03 names and
the marine list has So.

BECKER SAYS HUN
MONEY BOUGHT UP
AMERICAN PRESS

New York, July 16.-Use of Ger
man propaganda funds to obtain
whole or partial control Of Amer
lean newspapers has not been con-
fined TO New York city, according
to a statement today by Deputy
Attorney General Becker, OF New
York.
Commenting on the investigation
which led to the arrest Of DR.. Ed
ward A. Rumely, on charge
which involves alleged purchase Of
the New York Evening Mail for the
German government IN 1915. Mr..
Becker declared that Information in
his possession and that of the fed
eral alien property custodian, for
whom he acted in the Mail case, in
dicates that teuton millions were
spent in districts far from the me-
tropolis, to influence news and edi-
torial policies in favor OF the Ger
man cause.
An extensive Investigation now
IN progress, he said, may be ex-
pected to reveal other centers of
German influence and the methods
followed in putting its propaganda
into effect.
In connection with MIR, Becker's
statement it was learned author
itatively today that another Amer
lean newspaper passed into German
control before the United States en-
tered the war, in manner similar
to that alleged to have been fol-
lowed in the case of the Mail. This
is located in the far
west and action against its osten-
sible owners is predicted as an
early development.

ArnySuppHes

An Atlantic Port, July 1e.-Tha
sinking at sea on July II Of the
American steamship Oosterdijk in
a collision with the American
steamer San Jacinto was reported
by a Swedish steamship arriving
here today. The Oosterditk' g
crew was taken aboard the San
Jacinto which, although badly
damaged, had managed to reach
an Atlantic port.
Both vessels, manned and Off
cered by naval crews, carried car
goes OF army supplies. The San
Jacinto's s. o. S. calls brought
one American and two neutral YES
sells which stood by until her safe
arrival at port was assured. The
collision occurred in North At
lantic waters.
The Oosterdijk was a vessel of
S.252 gross tons. built in 1913 at
West Hartlepool, England, and
owned by the Holland-American
line. She was one of the Dutch
ships recently requisitioned while
in an American port.

1000 SLACKERS IN
CHICAGO WILL BE
PLACED IN ARMY?

Chicago, July 16. - Suspected
draft evaders being held here for
failure to produce registration and
classification cards, numbering
more than 1000, the result of the
city's recent Stacker drive, today
were being given the first rudi-
ments of military drill, to keep the
time from hanging heavily on their
hands. The men, taken in custody
and still being held for failure to
produce proper evidence showing
that they registered, displayed little
resentment as the jackies guarding
them put them through various
drills.
Federal officials were of the
opinion that the national army will
be augmented by more than 1000
soldiers as a result OF the recent
drive here against slackers. In
many instances, officials declared
the men still being held had failed
to fill out their QUESTIONABLE while
others were found to have evaded
the law altogether.
A large number of the men whose
cases do not show actual draft
evasion, will be permitted to enlist
in the army or be sent to canton
ments by draft boards. About one
hundred others, however, will not
be given that alternative as their
cases are regarded Is exceptionally
fragrant. They will be tried in fed
eral court, the first arraignment
being scheduled to take place before
United States Commissioner Mason
today.
