Tho Allies have captured many villages, which are marked in tho map" with n line. It seems that Field Marshal Haig's strategic objective in this, which probably will prove the greatest drive of the war, is the German submarine base at Zcebrugge, whose capture would bo a great blow to Germany's most deadly weapon, the U-boats. Zcebrugge is about thirty miles from the sector of the front where the main fighting is developing. by tho horrors to which they were sub jected. The completo success of the Allied strug gle caused a wave of exultation to sweep the. country and military critics today pre dicted that other powerful blows might now be exported In what may ba regarded as an effort to turn the northern end of the German battle front The Germans, anticipating a drive In Belgium, has massed reserves, but so well directed and violent was the fire of the British artillery that the German re-enforcements could not bo held close to the firing line Unable to form an effective con centration the Germans were handicapped when the Infantry fighting commenced be cause It took some time to rush their re serve troops to the first line positions ' Among the Belgian villages taken from the Germans are Pllkem, Hooge, Blxschoote and SUenistraot.. 'All had been fortified by the Germans. This will probably go down In history as the third battle of Ypres. The scene of the main fighting Is Just a little over thirty miles from Zeebrugge. the German submarine base In Belgium Belgium may prove the field on which the Imperialistic dream of Emperor William Is shattered Just as It was lie scene of the collapse of Napoleon's world ambitions Twice during the war In the Ypres sector the Germans trier to break through the Allied line and twico they were hurled back amidst a welter of blood Twice the British have attacked In the same region. The first gained Important ground tor them and the second Is still under nay. Ypres Is Just sixty-five miles from Waterloo, CONTROL OF BELGIUM STAKE IN BIG DRIVE WASHINGTON, August 1. The Anglo-French offensive In Tlandera may take the balance of control In Bel glum frpm Germany. General Staff oltlcers Just back from France are following de velopments closely. They declared today that much more than appears on the sur face Is at stake In the new struggle. One of these officers, who has traversed every Inch of the ground covered by the present offensive, summed up the situation aa fol lows : "The present offensive has a possible re sult the turning and crumpling of the entire German line on the western front. The Allies uro striking with unprecedented vigor at the most vulnerable spot in the whole German chain of fortifications The for tifications In Belgium are built on sand. "The present push has been long In prepiratlon. That tho Germans knew of It Is evidenced by their fiare-out of ten days ago, driving the British from the Ypres salient to a more difficult position from which to start. In a day or two they probably will fling a great assault at Verdun or some point farther east on the line The British "must not let them selves be districted Let the Germans gain a little at Verdun If they can, but keep up the Belgian offensive at all costs It Is hitting the Germans where It hurts "Carried out with the co operation of monitors, the drive should be able to turn the German right flank. The consequence would be a crumpling movement and a re treat along the whole length of tho line. The Germans can be driven from Belgium If the attacks are pressed home' and their submarine bases on the coast destroyed TsPmfciin -t-rrrr? a ','r7-f"-T--r r-- . - - , ; 'w i rimrrn''AP'bg aW?wJra twenty QUAHTKKWAMIilV tuivra CALLS FOR SPECIALISE by Indefatigable and simultaneous opera- iions on an rronu. 'This lesson was taken io heart," the newspaper say,. "Considering Germany's failure In 1910 nt Verdun and on the Somme, and her defeats by General Brusst loff, there seemed to be an excellent pros pect for a decisive success In 1917. The events following the Russian Revolution are the cause pf the present disappointment "Tho enemy has not hesitated to re sort to nny means which would enable him to take advantage of the backward ness of tho mass of the Russian sol diers and their susceptibility to Inalte ment by agitators, the result of which was the fraternising between the trenches and serious Russian defeats The cause of the Entente has been saved from disaster only through the heroism and self sacrlflco of Great Britain and France." The newspaper expounds Russia's pro gram for the fourth year of the war. This, It says, consists of a restoration of the army's power by the following measures! First, a clear definition of the limits of Russia's pre!ent liberty,, the limits to cor respond to the backwardness of the popula tion and the army. Second, the taking of the' severest and most merciless measures to re-eatabllshlng military discipline, disregarding the criti cism of Irresponsible persons Third, the restoration cf the- shaken, authority of Russia's most disinterested and self-sacrificing servants, her offle'ers In the army and among the civilian popu lation, says the newspaper, are sufficient healthy and patriotic elements to encourage the hope of a speedy re-establlshment of the country's military strength. KILL OWN HEROES A 'battalion of death." consisting of 300 Reval sailors, forced four lines of enemy trenches on the western front, Instead of two, as had been ordered. Thev then asked for re-enforcements to consolidate the captured positions Instead of re-enforcing them, the soldiers fired on the sailors, who, between two fires, began to retire. Only fifteen of the men escaped unwounded The commander of the force died from thirteen wounds A sublieutenant and two midshipmen shot themselves rather than re treat. The Maximalist leaders at Helslngfors, Finland, have been arrested Their offi cial newspaper has been confiscated. RUMANIANS TAKE 4500 A telegram from Jasey savs the Russo Rumanian advances between the Casln and Putna valleys resulted In the enemy loilng, between July 24 and 28, nlnetj-clght guns and about 4500 prisoners Tho enemy front of about sixty kilo meters (thlrtj-seven miles) was broken to GERMANS RENEW PEACE LURES TO RUSSIANS ' AMSTERDAM, Aug. 1. German newspaper! have opened a cam paign for a separate peace with Russia. Strong appeals are made to the Russians to lay down their arms and desert their allies The Lokal Ahxelger, a pro-annexatlonlst paper; the Social organ, Vorwaerts, and otners argue that the failure of the Russian offensive has absolved Russia from her treaty Obligations to the Entente. "Moderate treatment" Is promised If the Russians, will quit fighting. The Pan-German newspaper, Tag.lsche Rundschau, de clares that "Russia has collapsed as a mili tary power," and predicts that this week probably will see the end of all efforts at a Russian offensive. 1 his paper continues : "Germany Is the strongest and last re maining bulwark of European freedom, for England's first objective Is the turning of Europe1 Into an Anglo-American colony, wherein England and America will measure out to each other the sun nnd wind and pay for Europe's economic exploitation with English freedom."
