Geneva, July 12. ,
News from Austria has been trick
ling in slowly of late, consequently the
official statement issued in Vienna, re- I
taring to enemy propaganda as the
source of the agitation against the
imperial coupie, is receiinu u. su i
"deal of attention here. ,
j-Th8 German-Swiss papers teem, on
,Uie whole, disposed to let the matter f
arop in ine augence oi ji.-iH, auu
at&ntiatlng the suggestion that Allied
agents are connected with the present
state of feeling In Vienna.
' The French-S.wiks papers, especially
the Journal de Geneve and the Ga
zette de Lausanne, laugh at the sug
gestion. The latter says:
S'What is this propaganda offensive
which is being denounced? if the En--vttfite
Powers have sinned against
,Austrla-Hungary during this war, it is
"n being too gentle and too feeble.
Austria-Hungary still has supporters
'In Paris and London. It is due to
., their Influence that the Entente has
ytb long' refused to see in the blceph
'alo'us monarchy an enemy as im.
placable as Germany."
It appears that a widespread cam
paign of slander is now proceeding
against tho Impeilal couple, whose
Unpopularity grows steadily.
' - Exactly the same sort of stories
which were circulated at the expense
6f -Marie Antoinette during the French
Revolution, and about the Empress of
Russia two years ago, are now being
.repeated about Zlta.

the following story of brutality on the
part of a German submarine commander
was told by Staff Paymaster Colllngwood
Hughes, of the Intelligence Dlvlsl&n of
the Admiralty. In a lecture here:
A British patrol boat, when out In
the Atlantic, discovered an enemy sub
marine which had become a derelict
After rescuing the crew, the commander
of the patrol boat Inquired of the U-boat
commander If all were safely aboard, as
It was Intended to blow up the subma
rine "yes," came the repl, "they are all
here. Call the roll "
The roll was duly called and every
German answered
The British commander was about to
push off before dropping a depth charge
when a noise of tapping was heard.
"Are you quite sure there Is no one
aboard your boat?" repeated the British
commander
"Yes," declared the l"-boat captain.
But tho tapping continued, and, becom
ing suspicious, the British commander
ordered a search of the U-boat, when
there were found tied up as prisoners
four British seamen. The Germans were
going to allow them to be hurled Into
eternity after their own lives had been
saved.

On the lawn of a beautiful old chateau
Wednesday afternoon occurred the first
large presentation of distinguished
service crosses awarded to members of
the United States marine corps for their
heroic deeds In the fighting northwest
of Chateau-Thierry in the month of
June. An American general pinned
crosses on the breasts of thirty-seen
of the fighters.
Crosses had been awarded to more
than a hundred of the marines, but the
rest were either dead or In hospitals.
The deeds' of exceptional bravery, for
participation in which the crosses were
awarded, were summed up in an address
by the general commanding. Ills order
said.
"It is with inexpressible pride and
satisfaction that our commander re
counts your glorious deeds on the field
of battle. In the early days of June on
a trout of twenty kilometers, after night
marches and with only the reserve
rations which you carried, you stood
like a wall against the enemy advance

Retain Post

Copyright, 1)11, by .Veto 1'orfc Times Co.
Tnrls, July 12.
The nomination of Admiral von Hintze
to the chieftainship of th German For
eign Ofnce Is universally discounted
here as a matter of no real Importance,
excent In so far as it marks nn Inrrear
m me uiiiiniiaiiuii ,n jifi iiihii r i Hire
policy by the military partv. For the
in the domination of Germanvs entire i
moment it is new tnat Hinaenourg aim
Ludendorff are supreme.
A corollary of this fact Is that the
position thoy have assumed compels
the militarists to achieve a victorious
offensive, which Is the ortly thing that
can save them from final and definite
loss of the power they now yield. If
the pending offensive falls, as It Is con
fidently regarded here It Is bound to do,
then undoubtedly Kuehlmann. or a man
of like pollcv, will Immediately return
to power. The pending battle, there
fore, will decide who the real German
Foreign Secretary will be.
The outstanding factor In the recent
developments is. as the Echo de Paris
points out. "not the departure of the
chief of Wllhemstrasse, but the fact
that the post has been trtven to a nun-
pet. The reason for such a choice Is
evident. The task of the army Is to
conquer the enemy The task of the
dlplomao Is to convince the enemy
of Its defeat and to make It accept de
feat. Berlin evidently has given up the
attempt to convince us of our defeat,
because doing so Involves the risk of
having revealed to their own people the
perilous state of affairs In Germany."
Paris Is convinced that the coming
offensive, wherever and whenever It
comes, will disclose no surprise such
as the Allies suffered at the beginning
of the recent German drives The Allies
are now too wide awake and too well
prepared It Is significant that the Ger
man practice of furnishing large num
bers of their men copies of so-called con
fidential orders, so that these mav be
found In their pockets In tho event of
their being taken prisoner. Is now
shrewdlv estimated at Its real value
The Allies believe they know most ot
those tricks now, and are not likely to
be deceived as to their Intentions.
Patience, vigilance and confidence are
the watchwords today throughout
France.

Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger

The correspondent of the Pally Mall
wires from Harbin under dale of July 1
as follows:
"Living on the tallway at Harbin, In
' t , , . . . i t n .1.-1.
ia special carriage. Is Admiral Koltchak,
formerly Admiral Essen's chief of opera
tlons In the Russian Baltic fleet, and
later commander of the Black Sea fleet.
We have had an Interesting chat. In
the course of our conversation Kolt
chak said:
"'in January, after the Bolshevik
coup d'etat, I was In Toklo and received
a messago from the Busslan Minister at
Pckin, asking me to proceed to Man
churia to assist In reorganizing the Bus
slan forces there: and here I am at
Harbin, where I have accepted com
mand of the Russian troops In the zone
of the Chinese eastern railway.
" 'Allied intervention Is absolutely
necessary. The Russians would not ob
ject to a Japanese army acting under
an Allied mandate, but, In my opinion,
some British troops are Imperative. An
expedition so composed would not meet
with the resistance of the population,
and to reach the Urals would neither
be dlfTlcult nor call for a great many
troops.
" 'Primarily, the object of the epedl-
tlon would be to disarm the population
to suppress Bolshevik outlawry, restore
order, and render. possible representative
elections, so as to secure to the country
proper self-government. At the same
time, the Allies should provide the In
habitants with relief in the shape of
vital commodities and a reorganiza
tion of food supplies.
" 'It Is possible, that if an Allied ex
pedition reached the Urals patriotic
Russians would rally round It as the
nucleus of a new army, allowing the
eastern front to be reorganized I
would not go farther than to put this as
a probability.'
"Speaking of the future of Russia, the
Admiral was confident that she would
outlive her midsummer madness, but
that it would take a long time. The
Russians themselves, he said, could do
nothing for the time being without
Allied assistance."

T,lcutenant Barkman. a Swedish of
ficer, who. as a representative of the
Swedish Red Cross, traveled all over
Russia, has just arrived In Sweden
He sav8 that at Perm he was living
at the same hotel where Grand Duke
Michael was kept prisoner and was
there when the Grand Dulte escaped
The Grand Duke was watched by
three soldiers who night and day were
posted outside IiIb door. One night an
armed detachment arrived at the hotel
and showed nn order from the Soviet
that the Grand Duke was to be moved
lo another place. The soldiers on guard
thought the order genuine and so the
detachment left with the Grand Duke.
The next morning the coup was exposed,
but too late.
At Perm Barkman met a reliable per
son vv ho had been at Ekaterinburg when
an attempt to murder, the former Czar
was made. This person one day was
walking behind a well-dressed man who,
when outside the house where the ex
Czar lived, threw a bomb through a
window and then escaped. The bomb
exploded, but the ex-Czar was not hurt
as he was In another part of the flat.
The Czarevitch, however, died from
fright He had long been very ill
Regarding connection between Mlrbach
and Russian monarchists, tho Social

weeks ago a well known banker, Manos,
was arrested at Petrograd on the order
of an inquiry committee, a majority of
whom were social revolutionaries of the

bhowed that Manos had direct connection
with Mlrbach At the same time they
found that Manos had been collecting
money for organizing a "black society"
for the service of the monarchists.

There is a United States Tire built especially to
fit your particular driving conditions.
That is one great advantage in buying United

You have a variety of treads and types from
which to choose,
and but one tire value the highest.
Any United States Sales and Service Depot dealer
will cheerfully aid you in your tire selection.
