PARIS. July 2.-Secretary Lansing
will sail for the United States in two
weeks. No explanation for this move
is forthcoming tonight, but great
surprise has been caused, as when
President Wilson left here for New
York the plan was that Secretary
Lansing should remain as the head Of
the American commission and the
American member Of the new Council
of Five.
The suggestion offered by his friends
Is that Secretary Lansing found he was
needed in the State Department, but
this fails entirely to satisfy curiosity
here. Some are wondering IL he intends
to resign. With tremendous questions
still pending the American mission will
consist only of Henry White and Gen.
Tasker II. Bliss unless the President
appoints some one to take the place of
Lansing.
All the other great Powers are repre-
sented by their Foreign Ministers ex-

ell. The United States will cut sorry

LONDON, July 2.-The British dirigi-
Bile R-34 notified the Air Ministry to-
night at 9:15, Greenwich mean time,
that the great airship was making
favorable progress toward America at
the rate Of slightly less than thirty
five miles an hour.
1t is assumed that her progress Is
quite satisfactory to Major G. II.

his radiogrnm to the Air Ministry In
dicated no mishap nor unfavorable
conditions. His message had 1t that
she was at the moment of his sending
the radio 1000 feet above the sea. At
that hour-3:15 P. NJ, New York
time-such altitude meant that she
was sailing well above the clouds and
under brilliant sunshine.
The radio did not specify his loca-
ton, but 1t is computed that such an
entirely normal rate Of procedure
should enable the R-34 to adhere to
her schedule and arrive over Long
Island on Friday.
The Air Ministry manifested no
nervousness concerning the R-34.
They are entirely optimistic and de-
clare that only the most adverse at
mospheric conditions or serious
accident on board the diriglble will
delay her or accomplish her failure.
They base their easy optimism upon
an earlier message from Major Scott.
This radio had it that the great air
ship at 8:1O Greenwich mean time
(1:10 P. NJ. New York time) had
reached the point SO degrees so min

huge stores being captured.

everywhere taken by surprise and gave

and much booty.
The Lemberg message says that the
Poles have pierced the Ukrainian front

PARIS. July 2.-How long the last
three American divisions will remain
on the Rhine depends entirely upon
how Germany begins to carry out the
military terms Of the treaty. A tenta-
tive date has been nxed for the de-
parture OF these troops. but is withheld
for this reason. This was disclosed
to-day by Gen. Pershing. who said:
Our flag is here. our duty is here.
We will not depart until We are sure
the treaty will be lived up to-
The Fourth and Fifth divisions are
leaving in a few weeks; the Second.
Third and First remaining while the
Allies watch the German plans to OBJ
serve the treaty. The Army OF Occu-
patton. however, came TO an end ON
oially to-day; the force hereafter will
be designated as the American Troops
on the Rhine. and no longer will be
the size of real army.
Gen. Pershlng Is moving his head
quarters from Chaumont TO Paris. and
In a few weeks Brest will be the only
port open. Gen. Pershing himself will
not return before August or Septem-
Der this also depends on the Germans.
The American participation during the
period OF occupation fixed by the treaty
comprise one regiment of miscellaneous
units. This means that the occupation
for fifteen years will be by the French.
which undoubtedly will accentuate the
bitterness now sweeping Germany
against France.
The newspapers here are giving
prominence to an alleged interview OF
Minister OF Defence Noske with Ger
man Generals in which he told them to
have patience and wait This Is the rea-
son the French are looking expectantly
toward the United States for the rati-
fication OF the French treaty.
1t Is now understood that tho treaty
stipulates the French shall have a right
to demand assistance, II Articles AZ and
~ inclusive of the peace treaty are In
sufficient to protect France Article ~
stipulates that any violation by others
constitutes an act OF hostility.
There has been a queer mixup in re-
gard TO this treaty. Secretary Lansing
denies that he consented to its pubiica-
tion. although the French had announced
so officially. The French had given
copies Of the treaty TO certain members
OF the Chamber OF Deputies and felt
that they could not withhold It any
longer. Probably It will be published
tomorrow without the consent OF
America,

Erzberger Gets Blame
for German Collapse

RERLIN, July 1 (delayed).-
DR.. Karl Helfferich, former
German Vice Chancellor, writing
in the Kreuz Zeitung blames the
Reichstag's peace programme Of
July, 1917, fathered by Matthias
Erzberger, the Clerical leader,
for the moral collapse "of the
German people"
The former Vice Chancellor
charges that Erzberger staged a
parliamentary revolution without
informing the Government Of his
plans, and adds that this action
was undertaken at the instigation
of Count Czernin, then Austro-
Hungarian Foreign Minister.
DR.. Helfferich says that the
Chancellor and Foreign Office
then extended Erzberger a meas
ure of confidence with respect to
the foreign policy of Germany
rarely bestowed on any but Gov
ernment Ministers.
