German View Is Not Agreed

AMSTERDAM, July 21.-'The enc

have far-reaching objectives." the
war correspondent of the Berlin Ma
tional Zeitung telegraphs from the

disclosed his Intentions"
The loss of strip OF ground five
kilometers in depth does not matter
at ALL" he continues. II have seen
how In long trains Of motor trucks
our reserves were speedily driven to
the new battlefield The spirit of
these troops was bf the best and
everywhere the feeling is deeply root
ed that the fighting which began on
July 16 must bring the great decision
of the war.
Our successes have confronted the
enemy with new tasks. Now, as be-
fore, our supreme army command
knows the initiative is fully in IT'S
hands"
In striking contrast to these utter
ances is the Lokal Anzeiger's review
of the military situation on Friday
evening. It says:
opponents, our supreme army COM
mand is again confronted with a new
situation and must take new measures
unless it intends to enforce success
Immediately at a great cost Of troops"
The writer adds that these new meas
ures will require time for develop

Present Capture of Scissors
Not Wise Policy for Allies

PARIS. July 21.-The reason that
French and American troops have not
occupied scissors Is explained by Maj.
De Civireux, military critic Of the
Matin. There have been apparently
authentic reports since Thursday that
Scissors had beeh taken. The mill
tary expert says that the chief in
terest at the present moment is with
the troops advancing along the ourcq
east Of Neuilly-St. Front toward
Chateau and Fere-en-Tar-
denois. He writes:
'The striking capture of Scissors
might seem at first sight to be more
important, but to hold the city and
railway stations under our artillery
fire from their heights to the east is
sufficient and 1t is the wisest policy,
as an exaggerated movement east
ward along the Afsne would expose
our left to a flank attack like that
with which the German crown prince
is struggling"

TOXIC GIVES ASSENT
TO u. S. JOINT PLAN
All Doubt in Siberia Action

LONDON, July 22.-The Japanese
diplomatic council has agreed to the
American proposal for joint interven-
tion by Japan and the United States
in Siberia, says Central News dis
patch from Toxic under date Of July

A proclamation will be issued as

tion, 1t Is stated
A dispatch to the Times from Toxic

the government has forbidden the
press to report movements of troops
and other material Information. A
meeting Of the army navy and finance
ministers was to have been held on
July Is to complete arrangements for
financing and provisioning the Japa-
nese forces.
A Peking dispatch of July IT to the
TIMES says that the character of the
SiiikGo dSlioh at Nldui-
vostok has caused lively satisfaction
there. The allies, it is believed in
Peking. cannot do better for the mo-
ment than to aid the CZecho-Slovaks
by occupying Vladivostok and secur-
ing their base. Thus supported, the
Czechs can proceed against the boil
sheviki, knowing that effective rein
forcements will be available should
the task prove different than antici-
pated.
Gen. Horvath. recently proclaimed
provisional ruler Of Siberia, says a
Daily Mail dispatch from Hardin dat
ed last Thursday, has sent a reply to
the allied ministers in Peking. which
disposes effectively Of their fears. The
ministers had telegraphed him asking
him to withdraw his proclamation on
the ground that he intended to pre-
vent the progress westward of the
Czecho-Slovaks. The general now as
sures the ministers that far from Of
fering obstacles he wishes to como to

+ WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE. July 21.-On the main bat
tlefield between the Aisne and the
Marne the Germans again haYe been
driven back considerable distance.
They have been pushed over the sois-
sons Chateau Thterry road at several
points north Of the ourcq.
South of the river. under the COM
bined pressure of French troops ad-
Franco.Amertcan forces who fol-
lowed the enemy across the Marne'
and who are now pushing him north

during the day. and tonight the al
villages Of La croix, Grisones and
Epieds. which means an advance OF
five miles from the west and three
miles from the south.
French troops carried the heights
at the point Of the bayonet.
In. the abandoned boche positions
south Of the Marne the Franco-Amer-
leans made rich haul OF material.
including 400 machine guns and
thirty cannon, including two big guns.
Enemy fighting Desperately.
The heaviest fighting today on the
eastern side Of the salient was in the
hills and woods west Of the Mountain
| of Rheims. where tho enemy was fight
| ing tooth and nail to maintain himself.
| The Gemans were attacked fercely In
this region today by British troops. in
cluding Highland division. who took
from him Courton wood. Rheims wood
and the villages Of Bouilly and St.
Euphraise.
The ,Germans evidently mean to hold
on at all costs to their fanking posi-
| tions in the Mountain OF Rheims and
| on the plateau above Soissons.
Chateau Thierry, the corner stone Of
the line of the fartAest German adj
vance, fell early this morning, when the
French occupied the city. driving the
Germans before them. The enemy has
begun his retfeat northward under
heavy pressure from all sides, French.
Americans and British all participating
in the thrust which Is pushing the Ger
mans back. Where the retreat will end
cannot be conjectured, as everything
now depends on the will Of the allied
commander-in- chief.
The German position in the vicinity
tho moment their divisions recrossed
the Marne. Franco<American troops
carried out an encircling movement
from the northwest at the same time.
which made it absolutely necessary
for the enemy to withdraw. In the
course Of the> night reconnoisances
were effected BY the French to test
the strength of the Germans still in
the city and shortly after dawn tho
allied occupation became an accom-
plished fact.

Huns Badly Demoralized.

The number Of prisoners taken Is
being increased and from these men
lit is ascertained that the demorali-
zation Of the German army Is greater
than was suspected. Those taken by
one American unit alone represent
seven divisions. One lot of fifty-six
captives contained men belonging to
five different divisions. This fact and
the stories Of the prisoners indicate
that the Germans have lost much in
organization.
Chateau Thierry was evacuated dur
ing the night. the French and Amberican
troops passing through the town
shortly after dawn on the trail of the
|retreating Germans. Almost stimuli
|taneously the. French and Americans
moved forward. the southern part Of
their line extending north and west
from Chateau Thierry until a correc-
tion of the entire line from scissors
and southwark OF that point had been
effected-an ~even advance Of some
thing more than seven miles.
The armies of the crown prince were
fetreating tonight. while the allied
forces of Gen. Foch 'harassed their
rear and continued their smashing
drive along the German right flank.
