Frankly, looking around on the world

Lord Robert Cecil. Under Secretary
Of State for Foreign Affairs, urged that
the conditions of peace ought to be made
more favorable to those nations pre-
pared to enter a league. He thought the
question should be considered fully in
all its aspects, and scheme prepared to
be put into operation Immediately after
the war il there was any prospect Of its
adoption, because a few years delay
would. with the shortness of peoples
memories, result in the cooling OF pres

TROOPERS
AID UKRAINE REVOLT
Glue Artillery to Peasants to
Fight German Invaders.

STOCK HOLM, Aug. Austrian troops
in the Ukraine are aiding the peasants
in their revolt against German rule and
have supplied them with arms, includ-
ing artillery. according to Zeta Heeg-
lund, leader of the Swedish Socialist
Left, In an interview published in the
Politiken of Copenhagen. lie estimates
the peasant army in the Ukraine to We
$4,000 strong tother reports placed It
as high as 100000, filled with hatred for
the Germans and awaiting an suspicious
moment to begin hostlities.
Hoeglund asserts that the peasants
are burning their grain and destroying
their cattle and acting similarly with
their other possessions to prevent them
from falling into the hands OF the Ger
mans. According to his story the re-
cent disturbances in the Ukraine. in
Guiding the murders of Count Won Mir
bach, the Ambassador of Germany to
Moscow, and Field Marshal Won Eich-
horn, the German military dictator in
the Ukraine, simply are forerunners Of
what viii come. He expects outbreaks
to begin at the time of the next har-
vest II the Germans attempt to seize
the crops or to prevent the peasants
from destroying their own property.
Hocglund has returned from long
visit to Russia. and asserts that the
Germans in the Ukraine were living in
a little hades," that guerilla warfare
is constantly in progress, with conflicts
occurring daily in which many persons
have been killed. These outbreaks, he
asserts. sometimes develop into battles
lasting for several days. Hoeglund says
his account was gathered mainly from
conversations he had with Russians
from the Ukraine.

BUTTE DE CHALMONT
WON BY THE FRENCH
Americans in Centre Held Up
Until II Wos Taken.

LONDON, Aug 2.--Reuters correspon-
dent with the American Army on the
Aisne- Nitric front telegraphing to-day
at r. NJ. says:
After q period OF comparative mae
ton, In which there was nothing but
artillery prepa ration to chronicle, a not
able advance was made yesterday on
the west side of the salient. After the
gallant French action which cleared the
whole OF the long plateau known as the
Butte de Chalmort. the position there
had been rather critical 1854. ..
The enemy had practically rtnged
the butte with semicircle Of fire, ex-
tending from a queer tumble Of under
features Of terrain on the northwest be-
low Plessier Huleu and along the big
buttressss Of the hills above Grand Rozoy
and Cramaille to the formidable prom
ontory eastward of Saponay.
ut was plain that while things re-
r,ained as they vera in Butte sector
the American advance in the centre
could only be a provisional affair. since
any progress on SerinGes would leave
the left wing In the air. .s- ..
THE admirable work of the French
and British yesterday; however. had q
most enlishtening effect on the situs-
ton"
THE allied left laid hold of the high
ground above Grand Rozoy, and there
is now nothing intervening between that
and the French force at yille-Montoire.
Indeed. the two bills look at one an
other along the SoIssons-C hsteau
Thierry road. From this point the
allied line declines slightly from the
crest Of the hill passing 'northward+ of
Beugneux, thence declining still further
along THE valley road through Cramoi-
sele and Cramaille. .
such an acquisition is an admirable
days work. and the advance OF more than
two miles in the no wise easy country IL
proof that the Germans In this district
are no more than a stopping force and
that Gen. Petain can push them north
ward whenever he is inclined 1t Is
true the heights above the captured
villages are still to be- gained. but
with the western end Of that line of
hills in our possession and our power
to sweep them from the Butte de ChaI-
mont we probably have not long TO
wait before the whole Of this strong

then much easier nghting ground will
be reached" ,..

CHAUDUN PLATEAU
YIELDED BY ENEMY
Had Been Disputed Field for
Two Weeks.
By the Associated Press

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE,
Aug. 2.-The Germans are in retreat on
all sides, OF, the salient between the
Aisne and the Marne. On the west the
French and British troops, continuing
their push of Thursday, have reached
the valley of the Crise. little river
which joins tine Aisne at Scissors.
The Germans therefore have aban-
doned the whole Of the Chaudun Plateau,
between the Coeuvres and Crise Valley.
This ground has been a desperately dis
& puted battlefield for weeks. 1t had been
swept by the German heavy guns froai
the north of the line and from the east,
and was probably the hottest eector OF
the whole battle front. .4
In the centre the French cavalry are
in the big woods, called the Foret de
Nesles. a mile northeast Of Fere-en-Tar-
denois On the allied left the troops are
in touch with the forests OF Ardre, two
miles north of Villers Argon.
The Germans, disregarding the mill
tary considerations which counselled
frank acceptance of defeat and rapid
retreat many days ago In order to spare
their men for a new attempt. have been
obliged to accept the inevitable and arc
falling back, possibly to the Vesie River
Crown Prince Fails Disn,alIy.
The German Crown Princes offensive
on the Marine has failed as sgnaliy as
that Of Won Kiuck in 1914. and the last
word Is with the Allies.
The important town of Vi,le-en-Tar
denois, on the easterly side OF the Marine
salient, has been encirtled by the allied
forces a... , ....
.N"'The French are continuing to adsasfe
and have taken additional towns and
villages at various parts of the front
between Scissors and Rheims. The
enemy is resisting desperately, and los
ing in prisoners.
The battle on the front north of the
Marine resolved itself during the night
and this morning into almost a general
retirement of the enemy north OF the
Ourcq, with the Allies pursuing the Ger
mans with the greatest zeal and success.
The town of Hartennes-et-Taux was
occupied by the Allies. who also seized
the wood lying to the south OF this most
important place The French and Brit
ish in this sector took Contremain and
then crossed the Chateau Thierry-
Scissors road
The Germans are burning villages as
they retire and destroying everything
they come across. The entire battle
field Is dotted by conflagrations. some
OF them of large proportions.
Along the centre of the front as well
as on the westerly side the German re-
distance seemed greatly diminished. The
Allies pressed through series OF
thickets to the north of the road leading
from Goussancourt to Coulonges. and
. Seached the southern part of Vezilly
wood.
Further east on the line the Allies
are within 500 yards Of Villers-Agron
and along the line towards Rheims they
captured a wood situated 1900 yards
east of Romigny.
Allied patrols have attained a position
three-ffths Of a mile north of Nile-en-
Tardenois. and have occupied height
1900 yards north Of Romigny.
