With the Frenrh Armies. July 6.
Local actions conducted by the French
armies become bolder nnd more exten
sive. Whether from weariness or from
deliberate policy the enemy Jlcs Inert
through the Intervals .between his major
attacks, whereas the French,, quickly
recovering, harry hhn with pin pricks
and take back the best ,'iart of his
galas by the retail process.
Tho real aim of these local opera
tions Is, of course, preparatory. They
ale directed nt observatories and other
positions of particular value, and It Is
only In the future that their Impor
tance will be seen, but their Immediate
results are not to be. despised.
When the offensive of June 0 was
arrested, the German command claimed
to have taken 15,000 prisoners. Well,
since the same date the' French and
their American comrades have by these
unostentatious assaults made about 10,
000 prisoners and captured an extent
of ground nparly equal to and as Im
portant as that previously captured by
Von Hutler.
Four thousand German soldiers and a
goodly number of their officers have
been brought Into the French lines dur
ing the last week. All the way across
the Olse to the Marne at Chateau-
Thierry tho French front, which had the
Irregularity of a high-water mark after
a storm, has been leveled and strength
ened. Most of the prisoners come from the
sectors on either side of the forest of
Villers-Cotlerets, but more than a thou
sand have been taken in the last few
days at very little cost on the side of
Moulln-Sous-Toutvent, the French sali
ent between the Olse and the Alsne.
Here the nrmy of General von Boehm
seems to be In a feeble condition.
On Wednesday morning two deep ra
vines, north of Pulslcux farm, were
occupied without serious difficulty by
troops who have been engaged almost
without rest since the middle of March.
One of the German regiments nttacked
was practically wiped out, and 450 men
with seven officers and eighty-four non
coms were captured.
Tho same evening, a little to the
southeast near Aulreches, an advance of
two-thirds of a mile was made on a
front of a mile nnd a half, 600 pris
oners being taken. Including fourteen
officers. These included the whole of
the' battalion stnff, who were caught In
a quarry before they could escape. As
the French came up a German sergeant
t-elzed a machine gun and prepared to
fire, when the battalion commander, see
ing the uselcssness of resistance, took
tho piece fiom him, threw It Into a
corner and made a sign ot surrender.
FAVOR ENGLISH CHANNEL "TUBE
International Parliamentary Con
ference Passes Resolution
London, July G. Strong support for
Ihe Kngllsh channel tunnel scheme from
the French and Italian delegates was
voiced at the International parliamen
tary conference here. A resolution in
favor of constructing the tunnel was
carried unanimously.
The probable passenger and freight
traffic between Great Britain and the
continent was figured at a profit of
$5,5110,000, or 7 per cent on the tunnel
company's capital ot $80,000,000.
The tunnel, which should be completed
within five years of lis commencement,
would be worked, ventilated and pumped
by electricity supplied from a power sta
tion In, possibly ten miles or more In
land. It was suggested that the tunnel
should be maintained under the author
ity of the War Office, and a dip In the
level of the rails forming a water lock,
by which the tunnel could, In case of
emergency, be flooded from floor to
roof for a mile, would, be under the con
trol of the commandants at Dover .Cas

KAISER TO NAME NEW SULTAN
France Shows Little Interest in
Turkish Ruler's Death
Spcciat Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copurlaht, IBIS, by Xcw York Time Co.
J'arln, July 4. The death or the
Sultan of Turkey arouses even less
interest In France than the recent ru
mor of the ex-Czar's assassination. Dis
cussion of the succession Is academic,,
,for the foregone conclusion Is that the
choice will be determined by Germany
In favor of some tool who will take all
his orders from Berlin.
The death recalls the murder two
years ago of the Turkish heir apparent,
Yussouf Izzeddlne, who was supposed
to bo pro-Ally In his sympathies. His
assassination was engineered by Ger
mans, who thus showed their usual fore
sight In getting rid In advance of a
prospective ruler who was considered to
be against their Interests.

New Evangel

I'nrln, July G.
President Wilson's address at Mount
Vernon Is said by the Temps to be "an
appeal, a program and a vow an appeal
to traditions of the great citizens who
founded American Independence, a pro
gram of democratic peace nnd a vow
which the American soldiers have come
to France to carry out.
"President Wilson," the newspaper
continues, "formulated four principles ot
peace yesterday, all ,t them conforming
to the serenest justice. But II Is Im
mediately evident that two of these
principles must remain Inoperative If
Germany remains ns she Is, and the twq
omers consist precisely In asking In
ternal reform of- Germany. We must
not cease showing the Germans the
principal obstacle which keeps them
from peace. It Is the military dicta
torship by which they are curbed "
The Translgeant calls President Wil

mount by a new evangel."
The Journal des Dcbats concludes lis
editorial on the Piesldeut's speech as
follows:
"The clearness of the President's lan
guage makes Impossible the equivocation
wnicn has served to disguise certain
criticisms.

when fatigue and the dust of the road

READY FOR PEACE
WILSON OUTLINES
Germans Can End War(
Now by Accepting, Lloyd
George Says
NO OTHER END POSSIBLE
No Indication Yet as to What
President Intends
to Do
fly the Associated Prest
With the American Army on the IJrlt-
Nli Front, July 8.
Until Germany accepts the conditions
laid down by President Wilson, she. can-
hot havo peace nnd she can have peace
tomorrow if she accepts them.
David Lloyd George, the British Pre.
inlcr gave this message to the Ameri
can troops training on the British front
after he had seen them at review. ,
The arrival In France of 1,000.000
American soldiers hnd mado the Ger
man I'mperor realize that his defeat, was
certain. The Hmperor, the Premier said,
had had many Illusions regarding the
war. One of these was that the new
American troops would not be cnpable of
meotlng those of Germany, trained .to
tho minute.
Premier Lloyd George reiterated force
fully Hint the Allies do not covet a sipgle
yard of German soil and do not desire
to dispossess Germany of her rightful In
heritance or the German people of their
legitimate rights.
DNnppolntment to Kiitner
Th" British Prime Minister stood. Jn
rn automobile In the center of the sun
bronzed Americans, who have recently
landed In France. Beside him were Vis
count Mllner, the British Secretary ot
State for War, and William Morris
Hughes, the Australian Premier.
Mr. Lloyd George said In part:
"General, I ileslre to congratulate you
on being in command of such a fine
bod- of men. When I see them I am
glad they are on our side, not on the
other. We are anxious that many -mare
thousands come across the ocean. The
fact that you are here at all Is a source
of great joy to all of us.
"At the same time, It Is a source of
great disappointment to the Kaiser, who
never quite expected you. He was as
sured by his advisers that America was
so pacific there was no danger of her
getting In. Of course, a mistake was
committed. He has gone from folly to
folly. His next llluolon was that even
It you declared war you could not get
here. His advisers said that all the
ships would be sunk and there would be
no means remaining to bring you across
the sea.
"But you are here, not a part 6f a
force of a few- thousands, but a part of
a force of hundreds nf thousands to fight
for justice and the freedom of the world,
"Chateau-Thierry opened the Kaser,'s
eyes to another "mistake. Yesterday "in
Paris I saw your comrades who fought
at Chateau-Thierry carrying their flag.
And they carried It high, proud of- the
fact they had not lowered it on the bat
tlefields of Europe. The French generals
I have talked to have expressed delight
with the fighting qualities of American".
So the Kaiser's advlsem.and the Kaiser
realize they have made another mistake.
"We are grateful tiMl you a're ,here
to fight, but, of course, you are not
fighting .only for America, not only for
France, which has suffered more than
any nation In the world has ever suf
fered ; you are fighting for the liberties
of the world. In your faces alone we
have a source of great hope. Wo see
there determination to win and we are
confident.
"President Wilson yesterday made It
clear what we are fighting for. If the
Kaiser and his advisers will accent the
conditions voiced by the President they
fan have peace with America, peace with
France, peace with Great Britain, to
morrow. '" '
"But he has given no Indication ot an
Intention to do so. Because he will not
do so ls the very reason we nil are fight
ing "What are we here for? Xot becaue
we covet a single yard of German soil.
