A government employment agency
will be established in Richmond with
Lawrence A. Handley, cashier of the

probably in charge.
While Handley's appointment has
not been officially confirmed by Wash

the confirmation Of his appointment
will be made il several days.
Offices in the Comstock building al

Mr.. Handley. William c. DeMiller,
state director, was in Richmond Satur-

regarding his appointment. Mr.. Hand

STROKE OF GERMANS SINCE MARCH Fl;

erry, was under fire of great projec-
tiles during the night.
The apparent purpose of the Ger
mans attacking along the lime from
Chateau Thierry east along the
Marne, over the rolling hills to RHEIMS
and thence eastward to Massiges, was
similar to that in the great attack
along the Aisne late in May. They
evidently hoped to find the allies less
well prepared in this sector than else
where. In spite of the repulse of the
Germans before Rheims early in June,
it may be that the allied line eastward
from Chateau Thierry had been more
tninly held than that from Chateau
Thierry north to the Aisne and thence
through the Picardy sector to Ypres.
German assaulting troops thus might
expect to encounter less violent resist
ance in the sectors east of Chateau
Thierry and the Germans possibly
hoped for gains, which even would
compel an allied retirement from the
Verdun and ST. Mihiel sectors.
The north bank OF the Marne Is
held by the Germans for distance OF
some twenty miles east from Chateau
Thierry. A successful attack in the
Rheims area might force the allies
back on the communication positions

still farther east and give Germans
command of the system by the French
and American troops at Verdun and
ST. Mihiel are supplied with food and
munitions. On this district is the city
of Chalons which is reputed to be an
important supply center. 1t is ap-
proximately eighteen miles back of
the line where mighty armies are
locked in a death struggle today.
Americans are engaged in the bat
tie at Chateau Thierry and eastward
along the Marne for some distance.
Their positions extend northwest OF
Chateau Thierry to the village of Tor
cy, on the Clignon river, and east
ward along the Marne to Jaulgonne,
where they have been engaged in
local fighting recently. General Lig-
gett has about 100000 men, the first
army corps, in this sector. So far as
known no American troops are in the
neighborhood of Rheims which seems
to be the center of the tremendous
storm loosed by the enemy at dawn
today. There have been Italian forces
on the line to the southwest OF
Rheims, under the attack in the pres
ent drive.

league of nations, adhesion to which
has been declared by the states of
North and South America and repre-
sentatives of England, France, Italy,

tinuance of endevors to conceal this
fact has become unnecessary since

LONDON, July 15.-Oficial reports
relative to the grand offensive begun
this morning against the allied posi-.
tions shows that it Is the most am
bitious stroke since March 21, when
the Germans launched their assault
against the British lines from the vi
cinity of AIras to La Fere.
The front in the March 81 offensive
was reported to me about 55 miles in
length. The one over which the Ger
mans attacking today Is approximately
sixty-five miles from Chateau Thierry
on the west to Massiges, int he Cham,
payne, on the east.

recent tactics of beginning an often

Naval Guns Brought Up.
There seems, however, to have been
a new feature in this attack. Great
naval guns had been brought up be
hind the enemy lines and towns and
cities far behind the actual battle area

violence of this cannonade is evi

is ready to keep up the assault for
days or weeks in the effort to. drive
through.
Just where the main force of the
attack will fall is not clear. The apex
of the German advance on the Aisne
front is at Chateau Thierry, where
the American first corps now holds the
left flank of the new battle line. Pre-
sumably the main objective in this as
sault is some place to the east of that
point which lies on the direct road to
Paris.
1t is regarded as possible that the
purpose of attack is to widen still fur
ther the Aisne salient by the reduc-
ton of Rheims an dthe forcing back of
the whole southern extremity of the
1918 battle area. A previous attack on
Rheims was halted in its tracks by
French and Italian troops and that
place is now the center of a greatly
increased assault.

REICHSTAC ENDS
SESSION WITH
SATISFACTION
Passing of Extensive War
Credits Bill Last Act Of Ger
man Body.
(By Associated P-ess)

AMSTERDAM, July 15.-The reich
stag. according to a dispatch from
Berlin, adjourned until Novem-
Der 5. One of it's last acts Saturday
was to pass all taxation bills which
the finance minister declared were
more extensive and more important
than any since the foundation of the
empire.
After the reichstag had voted the
war credits, President Fehrenbach
said that the reichstag could look back
with satisfaction on the past session
and that the people could also regard
the peace treaties in the east with sat
isfaction. He hoped the government
would succeed in opening a way to the
east entering into friendly relations,
bringing older where disorder reigns
and concluding economic agreements.
I'VE cannot tell our constituents"
he declared, that the end of their sac
rifice has come. but it is to be hoped
that as the trials of last winter We're
borne better than the previous one,
and heaven has protected from crop
failures, that our staunch and faithful
people will also be able to bear the
hardships of the coming winter"
President Fehrenbach asserted that
as the guilt of the war did not rest
with Germany and that as the enemy
persisted in their desire to annihilate
the German people, nothing remained
for Germany but to break this desire
for annihilation. He concluded:
I'VE place our faith in Gods protec-
tion of our valient and Incompatible
army so that it will with victories this
summer lay the foundations of an hon
orable and lasting peace"

PARIS, July 15-The inhabitants Of
Paris and the suburbs, says the Matin,
heard violent artillery firing in the
early hours today. The sky toward
the east was constantly lit up as if by
a great electrical storm.
Those who were on the boulevards
after midnight listened to the can
nonade, while small groups gathered
on the high points of the city to watch
the distant heavens. The noise of the
firing was particularly loud in the
southern part of the city.
The sector of the battle line nearest
Paris is that west of Chateau Thierry
about 45 miles east northeast Of the
French capital. American and French
troops are barring the German path
way there.

Germans Cross Marne.
tBy Associated Press,


After wait of 33 days since
they were halted in their plunge
toward Campeigne, along the
west bank of the Disc, the Ger
mans, at dawn today, launched
new phase of their mighty Of
fensive by attacking from Cha
teau Thierry to Maison de Cham
pagne, north Of Massfges and as
far east of Rheims over a front
Of about 65 miles in length.
Latest reports from the battle
field state that the Germans
have crossed the Marine at sever
al places. This probably refers
to the reaches of the Marine be-
tween Chateau Thierry and Dor
mans.
American troops are engaged
in the battle in this particular
region and reports say they are
handling the enemy well.'
Break Up Attack.
They broke up the German
drive in the Vaux region, west
of Chateau Thierry, in a dashing
counter attack.
Reports show that, so far as
the length of line is concerned,
their present drive is the great
est of the year.
At first, it was believed, from
the French war office state
ment, that the line was about
SO miles in extent but apparent
ly the reports from Paris told
simply of the French held
line" under attack. Measure
ments of the line where fighting
is known to be going on, how
ever, show that it is Go and one
tenth miles long. The attack
against the Cambria front on
March 21 was over a front of 55
miles.
Last night a terrible artillery
fire was loosed against the al
lied line.
Naval Siege Guns Used.
For hours the entente allied
lines were under a tempest of
the most tremendous character.
Not only was the actual battle
area under bombardment, but
towns and cities far behind the
lines were made targets for
great ten and twelve inch pro-
jectiles fired from what appears
to be naval seige guns brought
up behind the German positions.
During the past few weeks, it
has been rumored that the re-
sumption of a German offensive
would witness long range bonn
bardment of places which would
heretofore be considered at q
safe distance from the front.
These rumors proved to be true.
But the Germans chose a Sec
tor for the new drive which, ex-
cept for a surprise attack around
Rheims, late in June, has been
quiet since the offensive launch
ed on the Aisne on May q came
to standstill.
