With the Trench Armlrn, July 0.
The abnormally dry summer days are
passing and I.udendorft still does not
move his legions.
There Is reason for this Inactivity, be
sides the main factor of the decline In
power of the enemy. Numerical and
moral surprise Is his only hope, and the
best chance of obtaining a surprise Is to
lull the Allies into n state of optimistic
sleepiness. It is a danger never to be
lost sight of.
Time Is working steadily for the Al
lies. It Is not Von Below and his few
German regiments that will be able to
put the Austrian Humpty-Dumpty up
again. Russia is recoerlng, and with
the new peril rising In the Far Iast.
Berlin sees her work of Intrigue In Mos

tually level, and every day several new
merlcan battalions are ready for the
field.

But tho promise of developments and
of Foch's Fabian strategy can only be
realized on one condition an unceasing
vigilance. A slnglo great surprise may
cancel the value of an army. This does
not mean only that sentinels and out
posts must not go to sleep or that ob
servatories and advanced command posts
must watch for the slightest signs of a
suspicious movement. The daring and
scientific extension of German espionage
has compelled the Allies gradually to

been done In this direction, but there is a
minor German lnent!on of recent date
that can be spoken of and that will sug.
gest the kind of efforts each army makes
to tear from the other the crowning ad
vantage of the factor of surprise
After the stosstruppen (storm troops)
come the spachtruppen (scout troops).
Their business Is to bring In prisoners
by means of raids and by surprising pa
trols and outposts.
The men enrolled In these special de
tachments must be particularly ener
getic and resourceful, keen as Indians In
strategy and In familiarity with the
ground. They study minutely the habits
of the adversary, the hours at which he
carries on such and such a work, the
positions of sentinels and so on. When
this study Is completed a raid is organ
ized. There is a sudden dash of a score of
men, who return ns quickly when they
get two or three prisoners, with the pa
pers of 'those killed and pieces of their
uniforms showing to what unit they be
longed.
On their side, scout troops must not
leave in the trench raided any sign of
their own regiment or any Intelligence
It Js a most characteristic work of the
short phase of the struggle.

KERENSKY'S ATTITUDE '
OFFENDS FRENCHMEN
Scorn for Middle Classes
I
Bringing Failure to His
Mission
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copyright, 1019. bit Xcio York Timet Co.
Tarls. July D.
The visit of Kerensky to Paris has not
so far proved to be a ery striking suc-
cess. It Is generally felt here that the i
Russian ex-dictator can only now be
looked upon ns a back number, and
French opinion inclines to the view that
not much Is to be expected from a man
who failed to utterly to take advantage
of the splendid opportunity offered him
a few months ago, when he had all Rus
sia at his call.
The result Is that, as the Temps re
marks, although Kerensky is here,
neither Paris nor the nation is showing
Itself very much excited at his presence.
Kerensky has made tho mistake, as the
Journal points out, of regarding every
thing In this country that Is not revolu-tloary-sociallstls
as nonexistent.
"Since he came to Paris." &ays the
paper, "he has consistently referred to
the middle classes with a scorn which
can scarcely be described He has made
a practice of declining to meet ordinary
republicans and even socialist-radicals.
He declines to confer with anybody ex
cept pure-blooded Internationalists. Yet
ire is supposed to have come here to
plead for help from France and her allies
In reconstituting Russia as a nation.
"By what fresh aberration does he
imagine that the revolutionary- social
ists have tho right to speak for France
and her allies? Does he think that this
method he affects of separating the good
grain from the rubbish is consistent with
his self-Imposed mission? Does he think
that this attitude reveals him as an able
politician?
"When he sees Wilson, will Kerensky
explain to him what precautions he, has
taken In order to avoid meeting all but
an Infinite minority in our country? Will
he adopt the same tactics in America
and treat the revolutionary socialists
there as the only people worthy of him?
Will he confess that he has been rather
coldly received by our socialist party,
which In matters of foreign policy Is
still Inspired by Karl Marx?"
The Temps says that Kerensky's visit
could hardly have been less fruitful If
he had confined his meetings to non
socialist Frenchmen. His own ch&sen
socialist friends have asked him seeral
very awkward questions. Among them,
they wanted to know why he allowed
the order to be Issued which suppressed
all discipline and resulted In the prac
tical abandonment of the Russian army.
They asked also why ho had allowed
Ienlne to come back to Russia, and to
travel from Switzerland In a special train
supplied by Germany, and why he did

These are questions, says the Temps,
that come Into the mind of any man
speaking of Kerenskv and which he must
answer or be discredited. The Temps dis
misses Kerensky as a man of words and
nothing else, and complains bitterly that
although the ex-dictator loudly asserted
at Moscow that he would put down In

to be accomplished, with the result that
the only sufferers from fire and sword

Coptiriabt, 101S, Vv Xrir York Timet Co.
The Hague, July 9.
Tour correspondent learns from a high
source that the campaign to mislead the
German people as to America's part In
the war has been so persistently car-
rled out that the masses now refuse to
believe that the American people arc i
taking any real part in the war When
more enlightened individuals try to con
vince them of the facts, they Insist that
President Wilson has forced Americans
to the small accomplishments that ate
admitted, and that the latter are really
opposed to war with Germany
Most Germans still believe that there
are only a few thousand Americans In
France, and that these forces are In the
nature of a bluff American airplanes
are said to be cheap and poorly made.
The forelgin minister's speech is still
causing some comment, but tho people
at l.ssen and In other munition centers
hao paid little attention to It. They
are mostly too Ignorant to understand
polities', and their bosses tell them that
the big offensive Is coming off and the
.war will end soon.
Tho question of clothes has long since
become serious, but now there is even
difficulty In getting paper garments.
Half the population has been reduced to
wearing them, and the materials used
for making paper are getting very scarce.
The poor are terribly In want of clothes,
and In Wurzburg children have been go
ing to school without shirts while women
are sometimes unable to go to work for
lack of covering. Out of 17,000 German
shoe factories, only 300 were working In
March, and many of these for the army.
Even wooden soles arc a luxury nowa
days.
In Holland the Germans are now of
fering high prices for their combings.

TROTSKY AGAIN HARPS

Safety of Soviets Depends on

He Declares
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copirioht. 101 R bviVrii' Vorfc Times Co.
Petrograd, June 29. (Dispatch to the
London Dally Express).
The latest stage reached by the Bol
shevist Utopia reads like a fairy tale or
a tidbit of news from nowhere, but In,
Russia the truth is stranger than fiction.
Trotsky's recent report on the situa
tion of the republic Is causing comment
and apprehension among all classes of
the public. He Is again harping on the
holy war Idea, raying that the safety of
the Soviets and the republic depends on
penerat conscription. But according to
him It is Inadvlsahle to call the younger
members of the bourgeoisie to arms, as.
Instead of fighting the dark forces of
capital and exploitation, these naturally
would want to fight the proletariat.
The fertile Bolshevik mind hns found
a way out of the dilemma by Imposing
on the members of tho bourgeoisie, old
and young, "light" duties for home and
domestic defense, such as cleaning out
barracks and camps, street scavenging
and digging trenches. The humor of the
whole buslnesss lies In the announce
ment that bourgeoisie units who are

Enemy Press Sees in President's Address Lust for Su

Scoff at "Million Army"
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copvrtaht, lots, bu Xto York Tlmrs Co.
The Hague, July 9.
INDEPENDENCE DAY celebrations
over tho whole world and President
Wilson's ppcech aro occupying, consider
able space In tho German press. Com
menting on the speech the Frankfurter
Keltung asserts that what Mr. Wilson'
says about tho conditions Jtnder which
a lasting peace could be concluded Is
so general that much Is still to be done
before the war can be really ended.
Behind his phrases, the paper says, hides
an Idea directed against Germany, and
even If the beautiful principles he enun
ciated are meant honestly, then It must
Iks assumed that Wilson not only wishes
to dominate the Central Powers, hut
also tho Entente. The paper asks
whether America Intends to maintain
this ascendency and tn Insure It hv n
durable peace, tf so. It points out, these
demands will have the effect of fettering
Germany and will be In contradiction
to Mr. Wilson's proclaimed principles.
ine vorwaerts says that Wilson's and
Winston Churchill's speeches, will not
help peace. It says the German people
do not agree with these two statesmen
that the war must bo finished on the
battlefields, and ndds that assurance
that the war Is waged against the Ger
man Government and not against the
people has been often enough repeated.
but that it does not stop the people from
surrering from me Government. ,
The annexationist Kollnsche Volkszef-
tung gives a summary of the sneech nnd
says It brings up no new point of view.
out that Vllsons manner of putting
America's political alms under the guise
of freedom and humanity Is revolting.
It adds: "He Is a New Englander, and
like Cromwell, argues and excuses the
bloodiest acts with Bible quotations."
Speaks of Tarring and Feathering
Like most of Its contemporaries, the
paper refers to tarring and feathering
tn America, and says:
"Hypocrisy and brutality, your name
is Wilson!"
"Europe must continue to bathe In a
sea of blood for the fortunes of the trust
kings, for new milliards, and to satisfy
the political and economical lust for
supremacy of the Yankees."
The annexationist Rhelnische Qazetle
says Wilsons speech is weaker than
eer, and that his program Is as vague
as possible, only consisting of phrases,
old sounding phrases about Interna
tional right, laws of Justice and human
ity, without any sequence of ideas. Good
old Washington would turn In his grave
If he could hear how his sad successor
In the President's chair falsifies history
and put the alms of the union In the
same rank as truth, humanity, prin
ciples and ldealr. Schoolmaster Wilson
wishes to learn history, but only shows
the mirror of his Incapable statesman
ship and hypocrisy.
Tho Tageblatt says that Wilson has
again put forward his four conditions
in the same hazy way as all modern
statesmen. They are vague, says the
paper, and ono tries to get at the
speaker's meaning through haze. "From
the first condition one may gather the
wish to restrict armaments, which vc
share. The second refer3 to self-determination
and disavows annexations and
oppression and could be signed bj' all
averse to annexations and oppression."
Alio Approves Third Taint
The paper also approves the third
point, and says the fourth Is a demand
supported by the majority party, "so
that In these conditions there Is tn
reality no obstacle to peace, but as Wil
son speaks of the fight of life and death
he should know that Germany is lively
and full of life."
"Yankee Doodle" Is the title given to
an article In the Welser Zeltung on
tho celebration of Independence Day.
"Under the shrill cries of 'Yankee
Doodle,' " the paper says, "the free but
unenlightened -people of America talk
themselves Into a feverish war enthusi
asm. In the western districts, where
they are not fond ot woods and prefer
daring deeds, those fond of the sport
of lynchings are having a good time.
There Is a short report to the ladles
and gentlemen that neighbor Smith
spoke In German to neighbor Muller.
This suffices and the unfortunate citi
zens are forced to kiss the flag and buy
a few hundred dollars' worth of loan."
The paper says that ten persons have
been tarred and feathered In Michigan,
"and In this inhuman but harmless way
the enlightened people of America fight
Prussian militarism."
The paper scoffs at the idea that
