The Finnish DJet, by 57 votes to $2, has given a second reading to the bill for establish ing a monarchy. This Is not the conclusion of the mat ter, for on the third reading the repub lican minority will propose that the people themselvei shall decide by a gen eral v6tc. If this proposal is defeated, the Government must have a majority of two-thirds, otherwise the monarchy bill cannot become a law. As this means that at least sixteen Republicans must vote for a monarchy, It Is llkel that the monarchist measure will be de feated and that the Government), will resign. On the second reading of the bill, Baron Wrede said that a monarchy was needed because of the coming Interna tional negotiations If the Cadets secured power In Russia, he added, they would try to establish relations with Germany, and In order to achieve that result Germany was prepared to give up some Finnish Interests The situa tion, he asserted, would be quite dlt fercnt, It Finland had a German-born monarch. FRENCH GUNS READY FOR GERMAN ATTACK YANKEE SHOWING GREATSURPRISE They Didn't Expect It. Americans Have Proved f Their Mettle ' INCREASES CONFIDENCE Violence of Artillery Reply to Enemy's Challenge Was Unprecedented Special Cable to Eiening Public Ledger CopiiiQht, 1!HS, bu .Vno YorK Timr Co. Paris, July 17. The great German assault Is taking place on a part of the front where the French high command had foreseen for some time the probability that the Ger mans would make their effort and where every preparation had been made to meet It, both In the way of men and mate rials , Strong evidence of this Is afforded by the fact that no sooner did the enemy begin his artillery preparation than masses of Allied guns Immediately took up the challenge, to such good effect that there Is reason to hope that the Germans suffered much more from the French and American counter-preparation fire than did the Allied defenses from their attack. The v iolence of the Allied artillery reply may be gauged from the ract that never before jesterday has the sound of guns been heard In Paris For the first time since the beginning of the war In every part of the city windows rattled from the concussion of guns. Such a phenomenon had never before been observed here, al though the defending guns used In the last three offensives were many miles nearer Paris.

Immediately after, the Americans launched their counterattack and the lost ground was soon recovered, with an additional half mile taken from the Germans for good measure. With Pershing's Men Able to Hold Their Own, Enthu siasm Reigns in London CHARLES H. GRASTY Special Cable to Eiening Public Ledger Lopurlght, t)lf, bu S'tv York Timts Co. Londen, July 17. London went to bed anxious the first night, but the morning's news brought cheerlness about the German offensive. Americans In Iondon, while deeply gra't Ificd at the showing made on the Marhe, were somewhat wary In exprlsslng them selves until events had reached a more advanced stage. In Kngllsh military circles the Amer ican performance was the general topic of conversation Splendid French resist ance Is an old story, but every demon stration of American efficiency brings a fresh outburst of enthusiasm. Frankly, Huropeans are surprised. Thev did not expect It. The outstanding fact In the big battle, as they see It, Is that American troops at the front have proved their mettle, and this gives Im mense encouragement to the Kuropean armies In the field and the civilian com munities behind. With each succeeding proof that Americans In the battlellne can hold up their end our allies become more confident of ultimate victory over the Germans KnrourAire All Amerlrnnn It Is pointed cut that similar encour agement Is given all of our troops who have not thus far been engaged. Friendly competition among our own units .and between ourselves and our allies In, deeds of valor becomes a great force to pro mote efllclencw Kngllsh commentators believe thev saw this force already at work In the fine performance of the French troops which was eveh above their usual high average Monday. The promptness of the Amerlcanvroun-ter-attack was especially favorably commented u.oon The way the Ameri cans came back recalls a story given around and first told to King George by an American officer from France. An Australian was aked on the dnv after the Fourth of July to tell what he thought of American soldiers. "They're fine," he replied, "but a bit roudh " As Australians are supposed to wear the heaviest hobnails In any army up to date, the British sovereign thought this comment coming from them some what significant Satisfaction In All Comment The drive has not yet progressed fat enough and the news Is too meager to justlfv conclusions, but one observes an undertone of satisfaction In all com ment. It Is generally believed that the Pan-German militarists, led bv louden dorff and Von Tlrplts. demanded their Inning In central political governments an well as In military operations They got their wish, and the new blow marks the Initiation of their program. As. sumlng that It Is the main stroke nr.d not prellmlnarj' to a large scale at tack elsewhere, It Is regarded here as a comparative failure Instead of raising Oerman morale at the front and Inside of Germany, It must have a reverse effect, because It dis closes the strength of the Allies and tends to confirm the already strong con viction that they are a match for the enemv even under present conditions AVhlle Americans are pouring in re enforcements the Oerman leaders will find It Impossible to maintain the will to victory, and the sentiment expressed by Von Kuehlmann will again become dominant and further weaken the de clining spirit at the front. Hermans Mast Oo Far Anything short of gains that will bring the enemy within shelling distance of Paris will be regarded here as a de feat for the Germans In their fourth great offensive. Only such a gain would enable them to'hiake progress without waiting to prepare another set of of fensives Such a process, requiring blx or eight weeks' time, even If possible at all In the circumstances, Is increasingly difficult for the Germans, because of their relative loss of strength in reserves of men and material. However, the situation lemalns In suspense The Germans have not de veloped the galtiB made during the first few hours of the assault. On the other hand, save on the American front Just east of Chateau-Thierry, no counter attack has et driven them off ground won. It Is possible they will endeavor to press further on this side, especially toward Epernay, so as to get behind the Ithelms salient, but In any case the benefits of surprise have been to a large extent lost to them. They have suffered heavy casualties, and the Allied armies will draw valuable encourage ment from the initial failure of their adversaries to repeat the result of their first three offensives this year. GEN MAURICE ASSERTS OFFENSIVE IS FAILURE Germans Fail to Attain First Objectives of Drive Before Being Checked New Features Revealed by Enemy's Communique - , By MAJ. GEN. MAURICE Former Director of Military Operations ef British Army Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger " has made the position of the Copyright, Jl, cv A'"" Vorfc T(mf Co. London, July 17. It Is now quite evident that the Germans have failed to realize what they set out to get In this latest offen sive. Information from prisoners and captured documents shows that the attack east of Rheims was Intended to reach the. Marne at Epernay and Chalons, an advance of some twenty one miles, and It has failed to make any material progress. While it Is too early to say that the German effort southwest of Rheims has been defi nitely brought to a standstill, It cannot now be very dangerous without sup port on the plains of Champagne. In an offensive which Is really suc cessful, progress In the early stages Is rapid and continuous, and there is nothing more difficult In war as we know it today than to restore mo mentum to an attack which has been checked. Therefore, when we hear that the gains which the enemv made on either side of Dormans, where he was most successful, have not been materially extended since noon of the 16th, there is good ground for the hope that this battle is destined to end In a definite failure for the enemy. Army of Von Mudra New There are two new features In the German afternoon communique. The first Is the appearance of the army of Von Mudra to the east of Rheims. Von Mudra has not up to the present been under the Crown Prince's com mand, and It Is possible that he may have succeeded Fritz von Below, whose name does not appear, and who was, when last heard of him, com manding an armv between those of Von Elnem and Von Boehm. It is also possible that n new army mav have been especially fotmed for this battle and placed under Von Mudra, which would mean that very special Importance was attached to this offensive. As to this we must at present withhold Judgment. The second point Is the mention of survey troops, who were apparently employed In ldentlfving the positions of and finding the ranges to the French guns. There is nothing in this of which we were not aware, but it Is the first time the Germans have mentioned the emplovment of their specialists. , Forh Ready for sJUrk We know that General Foch had all his measures read.v to meet the Ciovvn Prlnce'B efforts. Of these the chief, in addition to the ordinary precaution of having adequate reserves ready and In place, was to start a greater counter bombardment as soon as the enemy be gan his artillery preparation for the at- Allles more favorable than It has been at v time 'since the fatal 21st of March. We may, therefore, congratulate General Foch with all our hearts on his wise generalship, and our French and American comrades on their most gallant and successful defense. On by one the threata which the enemy has been holding over us during past months are materialising and are bringing him no nearer to the decisive defeat of the Allies which Hlndenburg and his Pan-German friends have been proclaiming as certain. The Austrian offensive has ended In collapse, and It looks now as If the Crown Prince would not do much better than his friends on the Italian front. Altogether, the atmosphere Is very much (clearer than It was, and we can look to the future with renewed con fidence. ALLIES NEARLY EQUAL WITH ENEMY AT LAST Paris Satisfied With Result of Renewal of Offensive by Germans UNTRIED YANKEES DEFEAT VETERANS Eager, Intrepid Lads With stand Vicious Smash in Marne Valley t TERRIBLE TOLL OF LIFE Americans Make Germans Pay Dearly for Every Inch of Advance Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger Copurlohl, im. 01 Ji'eto Vor rmea C. Paris, July 17. Paris Is satisfied that the first day of the latest German offensive has been ai failure for the enemy, and the feeling Is growing every hour that this new 'at tempt will reveal In clearer and clearer perspective that atUast the Allies are getting on level terms with the ag gressors Trom that to definite supe riority Is only a question of one thing, and 'that Is the time It will take for American troops to arrive In sufficient numbers to turn the scales absolutely In favor of the Allies. France has been for some months In the past placing all her'confldence In this last factor, and so far as recent events are concerned she is satisfied that her trust cannot now be misplaced. Critics here are full of admiration for the brilliant staff work which has en abled Foch to fix with such accuracy the hour selected for the beginning of the German attack.

A coun ter deluge of shells falling among troop in that moat trying perlod.of a soldier's life, when! he Is waiting anxiously to go over the top, cannot but have been most disconcerting, and it Is .probably to this as much as to any other cause that the failure of the enemy's scheme is due Such an antidote to those methods of attaLk which the enemy has hltheito In the campaign of this ear employed with great success depends upon obtaining accurate information of his plans, and this time, at least, the Allies had such Information, and Ceneral Foch was therefore able to have his batteries In readiness The forces which the Germans have so far thrown Into battle are at present estimated at about thirty divisions (this Is far under the French official esti mates), of which some seventeen or eighteen would have normally been hold ing the line on the front of attack, and therefore It Is not yet safe to assume that more than twelve divisions have been taken from the German reserves. If this Is correct, and It Is -at the moment the best available estimate, then the enemy certalnjy still has large forces which he can employ In the at tack, and It would be unwise to jump to suffered cannot but, have a most depres sing effect both on their troops and on their people, the conclusion that all danger Is over.

Heat Germans by an Hour So nicely was the thing timed that the Allied gurs began their tremendous counter-preparations exactly an hour before the enemy started to pour gas shells on the Allied positions. Never at any time In the course of the war has an offensive obtained such meager results on the first day. Accord ing to Maurice Barres. tn the Echo de Paris, the Germans threw thlcty-flve di visions, say 350,000 bayonets, into the attack, or one division to about, every mile and a half, but nowhere succeeded In making any appreciable progress. Where the Germans made their prin cipal effort on the twenty-five miles of front east of Rhelma, they were virtu ally nailed down to their own lines. Evidence of the extraordinary effective pes of the Allied defense Is seen In the fact that in front o , Souain the losses of one enemy dlslon were so enormous that It had to be withdrawn Immedi ately, other German divisions suffered almost as heavily, both In Champagne and between Dormans and Rheims, and had also xo be relieved before the battle had well begun. Br CAMERON MACKENZIE Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger Copvrtaht, lilt, by Ntw York T-nf Co. With the American Army in' Franca, July 17. For. .thirty. six hours the pleasant valley of. the Marne, once so win some In Its summer richness, haa been a vicious thunder pit of death, and over beyond the wooded knots of the Rheims mountain alt the terror, heat and confusion of war has been flow ing In on the towns and villages of the gently undulating .chalk, lands northward of Chalons. This smash, although directed pri marily, no doifbt, against the French, has' caught a great portion of the new army of-the United States full In its tolls, and eager, Intrepid lads, making up America's counterpart of Kitchener's army, are by tens upon tens of thousands taking their first actual lesson in modern warfare as Englandand France have long since come to it. It was midnight of Sunday when the German artillery,, crashing loose with almost unprecedented severity, signaling the coming of a great at tack, found the Americans holding an appreciable part of the eighty kilo meters of the line Involved. There was a -hort bit of battle front west of Chateau-Thierry, embracing the town of Vaux, recently captured by American troops. There was a good (deleted) kilometers running eastward from Chateau-Thierry and then, on the other side of Rheims, another sec tor, fully as long. (The American sector east of Chateau-Thierry Is about seven miles long. With another force holding a sector of equal length east of Rheims, the troops of the United States are on fourteen miles of the bat,tlefront, or virtually one quarter of it.) Amerleaas Beat Off Charge On all three positions the enemy artil lery fire was visited In full violence, and then at daybreak on Monday appeared German Infantry in reckless and over powering profusion of numbers. Without much difficulty the Americans beat off a charge, and the German unit, probably an Inferior lot, retired, seem ingly with a kind of weak despair. Not so, however, to the east and west of Ithelms; and there are stories to tell of the doughbova In those sections oMho line West of Rheims the Germans piled over tn heavy force against the strictly American positions between Chateau Thierry and the small village of Neullly (on the Marne southeast of Jaulgcnne). Their objectives were seven to eight kilo meters to the south, and divisions of the first quality were dispatched for the task of achieving them. The creeping barrage which, the enemy used in this operation was five miles deep, and every variety of gas shell was employed without stint. As was Inevitable under the shock of such a desperate effort, the Americans were compelled to give somewhat, but for every Inch they gave they took mer ciless toll. Their machine guns and ar tillery literally deluged the Germans with death. Amerlaan hnv. lvlnr In a Held hos pital, were amazed at themselves for the havoc of lives -they managed to exact. Germans Crosssd Marae After hours of ruthless and ceaseless attacks the Germans had succeeded In croaalnr the Marne . at three points. These crossings are remarkable chiefly for the manner in whicn. according to an reporta, the enemy-troops effected them. It seems that the Germans had provided themietvep In advance with light porta ble boats of canvas and wood and that at the proper moment these were1 rUBhed forward and launched. Into them there clambered a amall army of strangely In human figures, men clad In gas masks, and beneath the shelter of the stiff bar rage the advance across the river was begun. . There are many tales of heroism In the fighting "In this sector. One con- Pcerns a number of boys, belonging to an artllteffy group, which, us a result of constant Are, found Itself short of am munition. The lads had startetl to make a three-mile trip down the road, every Inch of-which was shellswept, In order to bring back a fresh supply" Be fore the return was completed the. horses nttaqhed to their caisson wagon were all killed. That circumstance, however, failed to deter the Americans from laboriously dragging the wsgon themselves. Other stories, too, are escaping from the raging heat of battle stories of whole companies hurling themselves vv'lth the most unfaltering courage against almost Impossible German positions and v stories of counter-attacks undertaken without hesitation, even when the Amer icans, still not completely seasoned troops, knew themselves to be outnum- , bered In hopeless ratio. .
