VICTORY CERTAIN
WITH AID OF i. 5.
SUPREME WAR COUNCIL Elk
PRESSES CONFIDENCE IN
OUTCOME OF WAR.
CRITICAL DAYS NOT OVER
Complete Confidence in General Foch
Is Expressed and Tribute Paid To
President Wilson For Corpora
tion in Transporting Troops.

London. - The Supreme War Coun-
eli, which has under advisement the
entire war situation, has expressed in
an official statement made public its
full confidence in the outcome of the
war with the aid of the American
forces.
"The Supreme War Council held its
sixth session under circumstances OF
great gravity for the alliance of free
people, says the statement. 'Ths
German government, relieved of all
pressure on the eastern front by the
collapse of the Russian armies and
people, has concentrated all its effort
in the west 1t is now seeking to gain
a decision in Europe by a series OF
desperate and costly assaults upon
the allied armies before the United
States can bring its full strength eff
fectively to bear.
after a review of the whole posi-
ton, the Supreme War Council is con
WINGED that the allies, bearing the
trials of the forthcoming campaign
with the same fortitude they have
ever exhibited in the defense of the
right, will battle the enemys purpose
and in due course bring him to defeat
Everything possible is being done 10
sustain and support the armies in
the field.
'The arrangements for unity Of
command have greatly improved the
position of the allied army and are
working with smooth success. The
Supreme War Council has complete
confidence in General Foch. 1t re-
CARDS with pride and admiration the
valor of the allied troops.
Thanks to the prompt and cordial
cooperation of the president of the
United States, the arrangements which
were set on foot more than two
months ago for the transportation and
brigading of American troops and will
make it impossible for the enemy to
gain victory by wearing out the allied
reserve before he has exhausted his
own.
THE Supreme War Council is con-
tident of the ultimate result and the
| allied peoples are resolute not to sac
rifice a single one of the free nations
of the world to the despotism of Ber-
lin. Their armies are diplaying the
same steadfast courage which has en-
abled them on many previous occa-
sions to defeat a German onset. They
have only to endure with faith and
patience to the end to make victory
for freedom secure. The free peoples
and their magnificent soldiers will
save civilization"

.FOCH'S RESERVES
GO INTO ACTION
GERMANS ARE TURNED BACK
AND SOME OF LOST GROUND
is RECOVERED.

New York. = The strength of Cen
eral Fochs reserves has been felt by
the armies of the German Crown
Prince in the "battle for Paris"
East of the line running from Sois-
sons to Chateau Thierry, where the
Germans, in continuation of their
mighty strokes, gained several addi-
tional villages and then attempted to
proceed further westward, magnificent
opposition was imposed by the newly
strengthened lines and with terrific
smashes the French forces recaptured
Longpoint, Corey, Faverolles and
Troesnes, vantage points in the center
of the line leading to the forest of
Villers Cotterets, which seems to De
the present objective here of the
enemy.
The Germans, however, still have IN
their possession the village of Vaur-
ezis, lying to the west of scissors and
further south, Saconin-et-BreuH,
Chaudun, Licy and Bouresches, the
last named directly west of Chateau
Thierry. A little to the southwest of
Chateau Thierry the enemy has reach
ed the Marine.
Nowhere has there been any at
tempt by the invaders to cross the
river, and at all points east of Cha
teau Thierly they are hugging the
northern bank of the stream. 1t is
not improbable, however that the tao
tics of the Germans have in view the
fording of the river when the time
is more propitious, for in the center
of the line between Chateau Thierry
and Rheims they have pushed back
the allied front across the Rheims
Dormans road between Olizy-Violaine
and Ville-en-Tardenois and are press
ng onward toward the Marine. This Is
he only point on their left wing,
however, where the enemy has been
able to make fresh gains, notwith-
standing the fact that he has thrown
new divisions into the battle, some of
them the best trained troops in the
Germany army

HUN SUBMARINES
OFF U. s. COAST
GERMANY HAS BROUGHT HER u
BOAT WARFARE TO SHORES
OF UNITED STATES.

Washington. = Germany at last has
brought her submarine warfare to the
shores of the United States, apparent
ly in a forlorn hope of striking telling
blows on this side of the Atlantic and
of drawing home some of the Ameri-
can navel forces from the war zones,
where the U-boat menace is being
slowly but surely strangled to death.
In the attacks upon coastwise YES
sells, almost in sight of the New Jer-
sey shore, reported, navy officials see
a frantic admission from Berlin that
the submarine has failed. American
armed power is rolling overseas in
ever-increasing force despite the ut
must exertions of the undersea pi.
rates off the coasts of Europe.
Now the raiders have crossed the
seas and lurked for days near Ameri-
cas- greatest ports. Undoubtedly they
were sent to sink transports, but here
again they have failed. Blocked eff
the troop ships by convoy craft, they
have turned in fury against defense
less coasters. Only ships that could
not hit back have been attacked. The
only one of half a score of vessels
probably sent to the bottom that had
any real military value in ship or
cargo was an oil tanker.
The destruction of five sailing craft
and the tanker Herbert L. Pratt was
the record of losses officially reported
to the Navy Department The fate OF
the coastwise liner Carolina, which
reported by wireless she was being
shelled, was still unknown. The crews
of some of the destroyed craft have
been brought back into port with a
story of II days Imprisonment aboard
an enemy submarine.
During that period scores of troop
and supply ships have passed in and
out. The U-boat found no weak INK
in the chain of armed craft that guard
ed them.
Secretary Daniels went to the capi-
tol during the day to tell members OF
the House Naval Committee that the
raid was designed to brighten the
American people into demanding the
return Of war vessels from the other
side. He said that Congress need
have no apprehension as to protection
of the American coast, and that there
will be no recall of forces from the
war zone.
