' GENERAL SEES CORRL'Sf'ODF.NT
At the exact appointed minute of 11:30
the special pulled out upon the 260-kllomet-fer
Journey to the capital. A quarter or an
' tour before. General Pershing expressed a
desire to meet the American correspondents
"who were ushered Into his private car and
I" Introduced singly. To your correspondent
lie said: "From Philadelphia: I am very
glad' to see you. I know your city very
welt" And as we stood In a group, the
S Commander-in-Chief said verbatim:
i Ti.ntlemen. this InsnirlnE moment Is
tfraught with great significance. Our recep
tion on French sou nas moved us neepiy.
Our country, yours and mine, has entered
pthls war to perform Its share, be It great

that It will be an experience aclaea 10 ana
Increased In France. I shall nope 10 see
you often and to become thoroughly ac
quainted with you."
The journey to Paris was made In six
loth-s, during which time your correspon

- conversation with the General, a conver
utlon 'that will long remain In memory.
For this soldier's face Is full of honor and
honesty, and his clear blue eyes look right
Into you as he speaks In good American
tuhlon.
At the Gare du Nord, In Tarls. upon the
arrival of the special, two regiments of
Infantry were drawn up together with two
, battalions of -municipal guards, and as
General Pershing stepped from car to plat
form the Republican Guards' Band played
', Amerlca" and the national anthem. At
I the conclusion of the hymns, Ambassador

BRAINS AND SPEED
WAR'S GREAT NEED
Lord Northeliffe Declares
Every Industry of U. S.
Must Be Mobilized
ASSAILS CENSORSHIP
NEW YORK, June 29.
"I hope that America may permit
her newspaper and magazine writers U
bcabsolutcIy frank about what is goinR
nn. It is as important for the nation
to know the worst as it is for the na
tion to know the, best." Lord North
eliffe. NEW YORK. June 29
Lord N'orthcllffe. British High Commis
sioner to the Fnlted States, in an address
to magazine editors and writers, expressed
the hope that the United States would not
muddle the censorship as England did the
tlrst three years of the war.
"America can and will do a tremendous
part in this war. first, because she Is fresh.
njid. second, because she undoubtedly will
profit by the mistakes of the nations who
have been fighting since August, 1914." said
Lord Northeliffe. "What the war needs more
than anything else Is brains and speed.
"I trust that the United States will not
make the censorship blunder that Knglanrt
marie and which Is Just becoming an evil
of the past. Krgland was kept In the
dark for nearly three years. The people
were bllndtJ by the fatuous optimism of
soldiers and politicians who, while edlc ent
In peace, were incompetent In war. The
people were not permitted to know the
icttl, anrl ihi.n (hi. truth flnnllv mpr?rl
mil nf rnstlv hlunders and sacrifice thev
were loath to accept It. "
"Every man with a pen In hand and a
printing press nearby can do a patriotic
service lo his country by awakening his
people to the fact that this war is just be
ginning and that every ounce of energy,
that every revolution of America's vast In
dustrial machine and what Is equally Im
portant, every gallon of gasoline, will be
needed to bring the war to a successful
end.
"It Is only by an absolute mobilization of
man power and machine power that this
war can be won. Industries that at this
moment seem remote from mobilization for
the war will sooner or later be called upon
to do their part. In Europe, for example.
one of the largest corset factories Is now
turning out very delicate pieces of ma
clnery needed In the construction of air
planes. "The war, which has proved the efficacy
of motor transport to an almost Incredible
degree, will make a tremendous drain upon
the automobile Industry In your country.
For one thing, the great bulk of automobile
output will have to be concentrated on
trucks In the second place, the automobile
factories will Inevitably be commandeered
for the manufacture of airplane parts and
airplane construction generally.
"In the airplane lies one great hope of
Allied victory. The war has taught that
the engine of spring may he almost use
less for actual fighting by the next autumn,
so rapid are the developments produced
bv the fierce competition of war.
"When America has got her full stride
In the war. so surely she will get It. It will

demand for chauffeurs. England today has

is constantly sending more. Every one of
these trucks must be manned by a trained

tween Germany nnd the United States. In
notifying thi Brazilian legations of the
sanction of the revocation, Senhor Pecanha

conflict, but that the republic could not
remain indifferent from the moment tho

struggle for the rights of the people, and
when Germany meted out indiscriminately
to Brazil the most hrutal treatment.
A dispatch from Rio de Janeiro on June
9 said that diplomatic exchanges with rep
resentatives of the Entente Powers were In
progress and that practical results might
be expected soon. It was added that war
ships of the Entente would be permitted
to visit Brazilian ports without adhering
to (he time limit Imposed by neutrality
regulations

LONDON. June 28. It Is now known
In East Anglla that there were three sui
vlvors of the Zeppelin brought down In
flames ln the nlr raid on the night of

managed to come to cartn. none fntnlly
wounded. An eyewitness to the capture
of the chief of these survivors by army
officers describes the surrender ns follows:
"It was nlmost daybreak and wo were
the first to reach the scene. When fifteen
yards from the wreckage, which was still
alight, wo saw n figure standing In a
ditch.
"'Hallo!' cried the stranger as the car
with the ofllcer approached. 'Who are
you?' asked the officer.
"The stranger answered in perfect Kng
Hsh, 'I am the commander of that Ger
man airsnlp.' pointing to the wreck. How
he escaped was not explained.
"Other survivors found were taken to
a hospital apparently In a dying condi
tion. They have, however, recovered."

RUSSIAN ARMY GROWING
STRONGER, BELGIAN SAYS
STOCKHOLM. June 29
The Russian armies nre becoming better
organized and are growing stronger dally.
The Russian coalition Government Is In
creasing Its authority and cohesion.
These statements were made today by
Emllo Vandcrvelde. a Socialist member of
tho Belgian cahlnet who has been In Petro
grad and at the Ruslnn front Inspecting
conditions. M Vandervelde said that War
Minister Kerensky ! the Idol of the Rus
sian masses and Is looked up to by the
army as a capable leader.
Haig Smashes Foe's
Line on Oppy Front
Continued from I'nxe One
fighting early In the British offensive. The
Canadians strove to progress beyond It.
The city Is about six miles southeast of
Lens, so that the operations there may vir
tually bo considered a part of the general
assault now being made against the French
coal metropolis
Avion was reported by dispatches from
the front yesterday to bave been taken by
the Canadians. It Is a suburb of Lens,
lying a little below the Souchez River. The
continued gains" on a "wide front" In this
section mentioned by Field Marshal Haig
' mean fast progress of the British grip
around Lens.
LONDON EXPECTS FOES RETREAT
How much of a "strategic retreat" the
i Gentians will announce nfter the fall nt
I Lens was occupying military strategists to-
! ,iav the fall of the city being accepted as
a foregone conclusion. It was conceiieu
there would probably be some desperate
fighting, prolonged over a number of days,
before the coal metiopolls succumbs to the
British attacks, but today's reports Indi
cate steady progress.
The belief here Is that, with Lens gone.
Field Marshal Hlndenburg will stage an
other "rt'treat to prepared positions" along
a line running loughly from Zonnebeke
fifteen mlle3 north of Lille, down to In front
of Lille, thence to Cnrvln, and connecting
with the famous Drocourt "switch line" in
front of Doual. Camhral and St. Quentln.
From the Drocourt line south the Germans
would continue over virtually their pres
ent front.
The suggested German withdrawal to the
north, however, would. It was estimated,
release more than 150 square miles of Bel
gian and French territory to the Allies. The

VICTORY OVER FRENCH
BERLIN. June 29.
Sweeping victories were gained over
French troops around Cerny nnd Malan-

At the same time admission was made
that, after "a hitter hand-to-hand battle,

"East of Cerny a French position of more
than a thousand meters (three-quarters of

nel, was stormed and held against vigorous
counter-attacks," the War orflce asserted
"West of the Meusc, by a strong rush, a
French position was captured on both sides
of the Malancourt-Esnes road, the position
being 2500 meters (nearly two miles) wide
by 500 meters (about one-third of a mile)
deep."
Concerning the flKhtlnfr on the British
front, the report said: "We fought splen
didly nnd Inflicted severe losses on the
enemy during our well-co-operated defense,
ns we were fighting man to man "
"Between Hntlueh nnd Morlrourt. from
hresnoy ns far as c.avrclle, tnere were
enemy attacks. Near Hallucli, between the
Loos, Lens and Sllevln roads, the enemy
was repulsed. West of Lens a fresh enemy
attack was prevented from developing.
"In the salient west and southwest of
Lens, a section relinquished ns a fighting
zone for a long time previously, an enemy
nttack early this morning blasted the road
leading to Arras."

WASHINGTON, June 39. V
Germany is still stretching her tenacle -'f' ' wj
01. intrigue in soutn ana central America. (
The State Department received Information. l
today showing that the German consul af

that two of the newspapers In his town had -been
subsidized at J 100 n month In Ger
man money.
The department's evidence la the case
said the consul himself bought out tlvt
two papers, one of which !s distinctly pin.
German and tho other "antl-Amerlean."
These papera nre trylnn to t!r tip hatred
of the United States through publication
of articles on "the rape of Panama by the
colossus of the 'North."
Still another angle of Geruian Intrigue
Is thn staging cf a theatrical piece called '
"The American ln'.erventlon," said to have
1 een financed by the consul, showing an
American cringing before a Mexican, whlfe
tho dialogue Is mainly Insulting commen- -taries
upon the United States
