A big faction of the Liberal element wants it only immediate political reforms within t mplre, but a speedy peace. They realize that peace will be far distant If the government comes out decisively with the Pronouncement that It will make peace only "n terms of Indemnities and annexations.

I'oremost among these concessions.

Heretofore the Chancellor has not had their entire support because the Junkers recalled It was Hollweg whD opposed tho unlimited submcrlne program and who wan understood to have stood out to the last against antagonizing America At the same time Hollweg. because of the liberalism which he exhibited on these two oec.isk.ns and on others. Is commanding considerable nvmiathy from tho radlcil Herman elements. One of the main reasons for the prediction in German dispatches to dav that ho would survlvo the upheaval was that the liberal element in Germany, while realising Hollvveg's fundamental nttl tudo of reaction, nevertheless preferred to "tako a chance' with him In control rather than have him succeeded possibly by somo other Intensely projunker. anti-reform chan cellor. Several German newspapers are quoted as stating that Chancellor Hollweg had pledged tho Reichstag that Zlmmerminn and Helf ferlch would step down from their posts GERMAN ROW NO BOON TO U.

July 11. Germany has organized a new branch of lighting forces "stosstruppen," Liter ally "storm troops." The enemy tried out the new war idea first along tho Chemln des Dames He gained ground, temporarily Today how ever tho French had completelj ejected all Germans from the positions they took nnd onee again held complete domination along this front Tho Germans used ten or twelve fresh Fore ALE battalions (from 10,000 to 12,000 men) n the new tactics Tho "gtosstruppen" are especially picked They often attack ln their shlrts'ecvcs nnd are nrmed prln cipallv with grenades Tho moment they capture) a position the "stosstruppen" are relieved by regular but less combative troops, who bring with them trench mor tars, munitions, machine guns, barbed wire and everything necessary to hold and or ganize tho captured positions. Just as soon ns these troops arrive the "stosstruppen" return to the rear. Thero they are re warded by long vacations and other spe cial concessions Tho ' stosstruppen" generally attack with out artillery preparation, giving them the advnntage of surprise Sunday morning's attack, when the Ger mans retook the Pantheon-Froldmont por tion nf the Chemln des Dames, was typical of this sort of attack The Germans launched it nt 3 30 a m , without the slight est artillery preparation. The "stosstrup pen" leaped from their trenches with tho first cannon shot Meantime. German air planes nving verv low, rattled machine gun fire on the Trench lines. Right be hind tho stosstruppen" eame the German 'occupation" troops Hden heavllv with ma terlal neccssiry to establish and maintain tho foothold on the French position. Although the French succeeded Imme diately ln hot hand-to-hand fighting In ejecting most of the Germans, a portion of the raptured trenches was not retaken until Sunday night's ntt.ut Then the French took 1500 nrds of trenches, freeing the whole of the Chemln-des-Dames from tho Germans. Throughout these demon strations tno c.ermans wero forced to abandon material which they had brought up At headquarters today tho greatest anger was apparent at tho tactics adopted by many of Germany's nlneteen-year-old sol diers In tho lighting earlv this week. Wide spread reports were received of these youths who would come into the open, haiuls aloft and ell 'komernd'" in token of surrender Then, when French troops approached close, the youths would begin throwing grenades which they had con cealed In their hands Three weeks of Incessant nnd costlv at tacks all the way from Craonne to I.afr.iux constituting the Crown Prince s supreme effort to take the Chemln-des-Dames, have como to niugbt. Today tho French retain Integrally all portions of the Chcmln-des-namei mn- tured both during and slneo the battle of the Alne A continuous battle Is still raging In this whole sector, day and night The Germans Incessantly renew their attacks In a great many Instnnces tho French repel these with hand grenades alone Mnd Is everywhere, often waist deep During their threo weeks of attack on tho Chemln-des-Dames tho Germans have not succeeded In planting a single machlno sun on tho highway.
