WASHINGTON, July 8.-(By the
United Press. AN army of trade
and business experts, supported by a
sizeable police force and interalleG
troops, will be sent to Russia in es-

able to state semi-officially that the
above program has been definitely de-
termined upon and will be put into
effect soon. There will be no mill

Negotiations are now under way

Americans Ready
For The Next Blow

WITH THE AMERICAN AR
MY IN FRANCE. July S.-Re-
sumption of the German offensive
against some part of the allied line
is believed to be near. For obvi-
Gus reasons it is impossible to go
into the subject deeply, but it may
be said that other reasons appear
to bear out the statement that the
Germans are again about to attack
besides . the fact that the usual
resting periods between attacks
will have been concluded for all
the enemy troops within the near
future.
1t may be said that there are
three logical points for the enemy S
--the Chateau Thierry reg
ion, the line north Of Chalons and
in the neighborhood of Abbeville,
in the Flanders sector. An as
sault north of Chalons or against
Abbeville would be less costly for
him, but in the former he would
get less important territory than
before Abbeville, where his loss
would be heavier.

Her kiss hath faded from her Fathers face,

Jerry J. Haskell, special
correspondent, in "The Outlook" His in
troductory paragraphs give the tone of
his investigation and recommend what
this writer esteems the only fair method
of going about such inquiry. He says:
eve brought out the fat lady and intro
duced her to the audience, and she wasn't
as fat as her pictures on the billboards, and
the audience was disappointed. That is the
aircraft situation it was summed up by
man who has been connected with it from
the beginning. 1t probably isn't so far
wrong
IF America had made the most elemen-
tary preparation in developing an aircraft
industry before the Interpretations it is
almost incredible we failed to make-the
story would have been very different. But
given the situation that actually existed
and 1t Is hard to escape the conclusion
that, In spite Of undoubted blunders, the
men In charge have done a notable piece of
work.
"Avoidable delays there were-delays
arising chiefly from the defects of an mex
perienced and rapidly expanding organiza-
ton. The programme was foolishly over
advertised. Promises were made that could
not be fulfilled, and the public was stupidity
kept in the dark when the delays and dis
appointments came. But survey of the
available evidence gives reasonable ground
for belief that the essential policies were
correct
ut may be frankly admitted that men of
the highest standing hold views directly
contrary to those here expressed. There is
no such thing as consensus Of opinion.'
Reputable engineers remain who still insist
that the Liberty motor is failure and
that the whole policy has been bungled.
The greatest confusion exists. Is magnetic
ignition preferable to the battery type?
Is the angle between the twin sets of CYL
inders adopted for the Liberty motor hope
lessly faulty? Is its radiation problem
solved? Is the motor really practical or is
1t still in the experimental stage7 To these
questions the most diverse answers are
given by highly respectable persons.
"In view of all these contradictions, it
behooves the investigator to walk humbly.
The best he can do is to size up his sources
of information, check them against each
other and against the known facts, and
make sliowance for the personal equation"

"Toughen the expensive steaks

Serve salty sherbet at the bridge party.
spill pot of hot tea ON the model frock
Of the honor guest.
"Put too much starch in fathers favorite
soft shirt"
Other instructions in this book were
given for various followers of American
Bolshevism:
"A farmland can make a mistake with his
scythe or hoe, or sow bad seeds in the fields
"a salesman can put stain on garments
and cause them to be sold as damaged.
"A tailor can spoil suit of clothes or
piece of cloth.
"Cabinetmakers can deteriorate piece of
furniture without the boss noticing it at
first sight.
"A bar Of soap in the boiler of railroad
engine would keep the soldiers at home or
else force them to march to the strike"
Mr.. Browne offers another definition of
Bolshevism near the end of the article:
American Bolshevism has no legally
formed organization, it has no charter, head
quarters, officers, bylaws or constitution.
Bolshevism is a state Of mind-a most
unhealthy state Of mind"

BOlshevism in

THE magazines abound in comment on
= the troublous new-old theme, Boil
shevism. Writers approach it now from
this side, now from that OF late par
tieular stress has been laid upon the grip
which Bolsheyism has attained here in
this country.
In "The Forum" for June Lewis Allen
Browne, discussing the proposition that
"the thing that disrupted Russia has
been seized upon by disloyalists in Amer
ica," delares that Rolshevism over here
"is an excrescence Of the political melting
p9t-ths social refuse, or Stag, that will
MT fuse--the impure or foreign substance
