that you ought to beep Ice warm when it's

CHECK OF ALLIES' PUSH PRELUDE
TO PEACE, BERLIN EXPERTS THINK
, r i
By CARL W. ACKERMAN
BERLIN, July 11 The great Allied offensive will end in defent within
a few weeks and will be followed by negotiations for peace, in the opinion of
well-informed persons in Berlin.
Tho check administered to the British in the death struggle north of the
Sommo has given rise to the national hope that peaco will follow the fighting
in Picardy, which has been marked by unprecedented slaughter. Tho German
people arc virtually a unit in believing thnt tho attempt of tho Allies to force
the German lino is doomed to failure.
Except on one narrow sector the British havo been unable to mako any
perceptible impression on tho Gorman lines, despite their overwhelming su
periority in men. Impetuous dashes have frequently carried General Haig's
men into German positions, where they were immediately cut off and killed
or captured. The French, more prudent, havo made some progress south of
tho Sommc, but thu3 far neither French nor British have developed the
powerful attack necessary to completely break tho deadlock in the west and
roll tho Germans out of Franco and Flanders.
Tho feeling prevails hero that when tho extent of tho British losses be
comes fully known in England, coupled with tho fact that tho German front
Btlll remains intact, public opinion will demand that peace bo made without
further slaughter.
German experts are quite certain that the British will never quit tho
attack without first feeling out other sectors of tho German front in the
hope of finding an opening.
But they arc confident thnt tho British will have no greater success
against tho strongly fortified lines further north thnn they have had bewcen
the Ancre and the Sommc.
Some of tho more optimistic of tho German correspondents, notnbly tho
correspondent at the front of tho Voasischo Zeitung, believe that tho Allied
offensive already has been brought to a standstill.

Tho main Russian army of General Kale

they had to retire before superior numbers.
Fierce rearguard battles aro being fought
by tho Austro-Germnn armies, particularly

gunn to sweep tho crossings.
South of the Snrny-Kovel Itallroad (the
Kiev Railway), nnd between tho Styr and
Goryn Rivers, tho Germans have set fire
to tho forests to Impede the Russian nd

Volhynla aro leaving a desolate country In
their wnko. Railroads aro being torn up

Although heavy fighting Is in progress

Friendship and Monroeville Methodist Epis
copal churches, near Monroeville, N. J left
Jiome Friday. lie has not been seen since.
About the same time Miss Nettle Laf
ferty, of Pitman, J I years old, who had
attended the Monroeville Church, also dis
appeared. Mrs. Joslin swore out a warrant
yesterday for her husband's arrest, charg
ing him with desertion and asserting her
belief that ho had eloped with the pretty
member of his church.
SHE WAS MEMBER OF CHURCH.
Miss Lafferty had been a member of
Friendship Church during the two years
Mr, Joslin had charge. They met for the
first time when the pastor outdated at her
brother's funeral. Mrs. Joslin was also
there at tho time.
Later the girl visited the pastor's home,
attending members of the minister's family

Three Visit Deutschland
With Approval of Am

AGENTS HAD BARRED THEM
Germans Anxious to Establish
tho Status of Visitor as a
Merchant Ship
WASHINGTON, July 11. Great
Britain and France will do everything
in their power to prevent the United
States recognizing the supcr-submarino
Deutschland as a ship of commerce and
to prevent the operation of a line of
submarine freight carriers proposed by
the North German Lloyd Steamship
Company. This was admitted at tho
Embassies of the two Governments
today.
BALTIMORE, July 11. United States
naval experts, after a vigorous controversy
today, mado a detailed examination of the
German supersubmarlne Deutschland, which
mado a record-breaking transoceanic trip.
Under Instructions from Count von
Bornstorff, tho German Ambassador, Cap
tain Koenlg, of the submarine, allowed
Captain C. E. Hughes, Lieutenant Com
mander J. O. Flshor nnd Naval Constructor
II. S. Howard, of thO'Navy Department, to
Inspect tho vessel. Tho German agents
of tho line which owns the Deutschland,
headed by Paul HUkcn, flatly refused to
allow the naval officers to board tho ship
without permission from Count von Corn
storff, and thoy kept tho experts on shore
until the Ambassador, from New York,
had advised that tho Inspection bo per
mlttcd.
PLAN TO BREAK BLOCKADE.
Count von Bcmstorff'a decision ended a
sorloua controversy. Tho United States of
ficials had notified the Germans that tho In
spection was their legal duty and that they
proposed to proceed with It. The Ger
mans declared that they would allow no
one on board the vessel without express per
mission of the Ambassador. Only prompt
communication with Count von Bernstorff
prevented, a serious altercation.
Tho Ambassador's decision made It ap
parent that the German officials are de
termined to go to almost any lengths to e
tabllsh the status of tho Deutschland as a,
tojxhant ship and thus form tho basis for
h. "aiplomatlo fight to break the British-
French blockade of German ports.
MOVING SLOWLY.
. Fearful of tho slightest slip In the caro
tfully laid German plan to break the block
ade, tho German agents moved slowly.
Capaltn Koenlg, of the Deutschland, Jiad
already announced his Intentlonof allowing
Captain Hughes to make any "official" ex
amination, but tho agents of the line later
called tho skipper of the craft to their office
for a conference.
"There Is something of a question In my
mind," said llllken as the conference began,
"as to the right of an American naval offi
cer to make ari Inspection of our vessel. "We
will object to no proper' Inspection and we
are anxious toi comply with every formal
lty. Wo want ip be sure that everything Is
legal. But wo iVwst bo certain that the law
demands this Inspection."
Count von Bernstorff will visit the subma
rine at once. It was stated at the German
Consulate.
Officials of the I Deutsche Ozean-Rhederel,
owners of the submarine, said that the
Ambassador had notified them that ha
wished to visit this ship and talk with Cap
tain Paul Koenlgl The visit of Count von
Bernstorff Is expucted to make clear tha
diplomatic contentions which Germany will
press If It can be .established to the satis
faction of the tinned States that the
DeutBchland la a merchant vessel and en
titled to nil of the privileges of a trader.
DISPATCHES lTROM BERLIN.
There was much speculation as to the
nature of the dispatches brought from
Germany by the Deutechland, and deliv
ered directly to Counselor Hahlel von
Halmhausen, who hurried them to Am
bassador von Bernstorlf. Some of these
dispatches undoubtedly bear upon the Ger
man diplomatic contentions as to tha
Deutschland. I
The German Interests, centred all their
efforts on the task of establishing the mer-,
chant status of the new phlp. Encouraged
by the customs officials land the Treasury
Department of their corftentlon, they pre
pared to convince the (State Department,
that the submarine can In no way be
