GERMAN RETREAT.
WASN'T PLANNED
Von Boehm's Order La
menting Lack of Disci
pline Proved This
IROI HAND MENACED
By llip. Associated Frets
With 1ip IlrltMi Army In Frnnrr, July
25.
The claim of the Orman hlRher
commaml that the retirement on the
Marne Is part of a set proemm la Blven
the lie by an order of Oeneral von
Eoehm, commander of the Seventh Army.
The Seventh Army has home the full
weight of the Foch counter-offensive on
the west, and ltn divisions around Sols
sons suffered heavily at the hands of
the Americans, while thoso cast of
Chateau -Thierry were thrown hack
ncross the Marne by the pressure of the
.French.
For this reason the order of General
von Boehm. written a month prior to tho
' besliinlnc of the battle, Is of unusual
slpnlflcance. Ho deplores, the lack of
discipline which resulted In the pillaging
of stores In tho bar!; areas during tho
advance In May, when nil edible booty
found In the wake of the retiring French
speedily vanished, Instead of being dis
tributed among the hungry troops In due
proportions.
The order continues: "It Is necessary
to depart from tho beaten track, which
has been followed In tho utilization of
material and provisions and stores from
the occupied territory. Hopes of the
utilization of captured food as rations
and of tho distribution of a fixed por
tions of tho provisions to tho fighting'
troops have proved to bo fallacious,
owing to tho fact that tho troops have
taken thoso provisions themselves and
eaten them, without treating them as
part of tho authorized scale of rations.
Some lime Abuiiilnnen
"In this way some units, which have
chanced to have tho opportunity to cap
turo boo'y of this description, have lived
In abundance, while others nrc suffer
ing privations, further. It has not even
been tho troops In the front lino to whom
this more abundant supply of food has
fallen, but second-line troops, train
echelons and especially stragglers, who
are roaming nbout behind the army.
"It has even happened that men have
taken food without authority, and by
forco from tho stores In tho military oc
cupation and administration, and, I re
gret to say, some olllcers have not been
ashamed to Interfere with the guard In
the execution of their duty and to insult
the officials to whose charge the pro
visions were intrusted. It appears to
be necessary for th supply officials to
follow the first-line troops as closely as
possible, and to bo accompanied by es
corts of cavalry or police, so that Im
portant stores and depots may at least
bo administered by them with as little
delay as possible.

Fear Report Duke of Uracil Is
to Be Independent King
May Be True
By GEORGE RENWICK
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copyright, 1918, bu Xno York Time Co.
Amstrrtlum, July 25.
The report that the throne.seeklng
Duke of Uracil has accepted tho offer
of the crown of Lithuania stirs the
wrath of the pan-Germans. It Is thought
In Berlin circles' that the report may
turn out to be true, despite the usual
official denial, nnd true Prussians nre
obviously pained that the Lithuanian
National Council, which is generally re
garded as a packed body of loyal Ger
man barons. Ignoring the Kaiser should
prefer a south German prince and Inde
pendence to tho prospect of becoming
part of Prussia.
Comments on the matter nre Inter
esting as Bhowlng to what extent land
grabbing Is linked up with that well
worn phrase, "frontier security." The
Vosslche Zeltung does not mlnco mat
ters. "Germany," It declares, "did not oc
cupy Lithuania and the frontier prov
inces In order to free the people living
there, but to'create a zone of proteolon
against tho fatherland's enemies. The
fate of tho frontier nationalities must be
wholly one with tho future Interests of
Germany."
The Tagliche Rundschau says:
"Lithuania must 'not be given her In
dependence, but must be annexed, pre
ferredly to Prussia."
So much, then, for those non-anncxa-tlonist
frontier alterations which the
German Chancellor is accustomed to
wave aside as minor matters.
The Duke of Urach would certainly
dearly like to obtain a place In the
Indecently hurried race of German
princelings for new thrones. He is a
Wurtemburg general, head of the non
ruling line of his house and connected
with the Bavarian dynasty. He was
an unsuccessful candidate for the Al
banlc throne.
His reported choice of a name, Bhould
he become king of, Lithuania Mlndove
It Is a fine but unconscious piece of
Irony, Mlndove I ruled Lithuania In the
thirteenth century. He became a Chris
tian in order to obtain the help of the
German nobles In connection with his
designs on the throne. When his ambi
tion had been realized he lapsed again
Into heathenism, turned on the town of
Perpau an.d burned It, and slew many
Germans. The Prusslas naturally would
hardly appreciate the choice of a name
which would link Lithuania's rule with
such a tradition.

DANGER IN "BERLIN
TO VLADIVOSTOK"
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copyright, 1016, bv Hew York Times Co.
Paris, July 25.
There Is ns much danger to the
future pence of tho W'oYId after the
war, Implied by words "from Berlin to
Vladivostok," as by tho'words, "Ham
burg to Btrgflad."
That Is tho way Dr. Norton Prince,
of America, sums'up the reason why
the- Allies should now help Russia.
Ho is an expert on nil phases of the
matter, liavlrtg studied It in Japan,
und now Is In Franco in touch with
the best opinion of the Russians
themselves. Being n psychologist, he
attaches much Importance to Ideas
conveyed by words. For that reason
he objects to the word Intervention.
"If the Allies don't soon come to the
rescue Germany will penetrate deeper
and deeper Into Russia, will extend her
domination eastward and acquire Indus
trial nnd commercial and political hege
mony which will more than make up
what she will have lost by eventual de
feat In tho west. Whatever the outcome
on the western frontier, the war will end
with victory for Germany If she holds
Hussla. .
"A military commercial empire Ber
lin to Vladivostok. That Is the poten
tiality of the present situation and the
prospect which Russia, helpless In an
archy, holds out to Germany. Potenti
alities tiro what givo a nation the stub
bornness, the will to endurance, and
therefore tho resisting power to hold out
in war when otherwise beaten. Take
away potentialities from Germany in
Russia and soon there would be a crumb
ling away of Ideals of 'das deutschtum'
and disintegration of the will to continue
the struggle In tho west. But so long as
Germany can hope for compensation In
the east an eastern empire she will
have the will to fight on the defensive
Indefinitely on the western front.
"The Russian people must be helped
ns a military measure to shorten this
war, and there must be a blockade of
Germany from the east. It should bo
done now.
"All are agreed that If a force of Al
lied troops la sent Into- Siberia it would
provide a supporting nucleus around
wnicn could rally tho people of Russia.
Thus assured of support which would
guarantco them protection, their courage
would bo revived, and soon the moral
nnd material resources of the country
would become mobilized against German
Invasion and penetiation."
FOCH AS STRATEGIST
RANKS WITH JOFFRE
Great French Leader Bides
His Time for Delivery of
Crushing Blow
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copyright, 1018, by .Veto York rimes Co,
Paris, July 23,
"Since yesterday," writes Gustavo
Herve, "tho name of Foch has sud
denly, throughout the entire world, be
came as great as that of Joffre." And
the entire world. Including all of Ger
many that really knows the facts,
undoubtedly agrees with Herve.
Hour by hour as the great Allied
victory between the Alsne and the
Marno developes, France realizes more
the genius of the m.in who. 1ms
brought It about, and how sound was
the action of the Allies In deciding, In
spite of their long hesitation, to place
the fate of the whole of their armies
and their own priceless future In the
hands of thls,one great soldier.
For ueveral dreary, heart-breaking
months murmurs of "why doesn't
Foch attack?" wero frequent here.
General Foch knew thnt In spite of
all appearances the only possible pol
icy was to wait. To every Impatient
minister, who, while abating none of
his confidence in the generalissimo,
yet failed to see tho facts truly as
did tho great soldier who wag strong
enough to refrain from all attempt at
spectacular advertisement, Foch an
swered: "Attendez, attendez" (wait, wait).
Tho Germans, with characteristic
psychological blundering, mistook
Foch's patient logic for inherent weak
ness. France, their muddle-headed and
always overrated Intelligence service
told them, was down and out and had
no longer men to fight for her nor
generals to lead 'them. German scorn
of France, based on bought and poorly
paid for "Intelligence," was one of the
great factors Foch relied on to lead
them Into the fatal blunder whlchT be
ginning last week, landed the flower
of tthetr armies into the desperately
critical situation In which they now
find themselves.

AS HEARTILY AS PARIS
Reappearance in Proper Role Has Put Allied Europe in
Fine Spirits Matching Brains With
Ludendorff
By CHARLES
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copyright, ISIS, by Sew York Times Co.
London, July 25.
Nothing since the war has put al
lied Europo In such fine spirits as
General Foch's rcnppcaranqo in- his
own proper role. Ho has been "lying
doggo" all theio months, awaiting a
good opening and the arrival of Amer
ican re-enforcements, but ho has never
drifted a. moment.
To Foch, to the student, philosopher
nnd master strategist, tho Kaiser's
battle has been a wonderful oppor
tunity. In the darkest hours ho has
never been depressed. There Is "never
the slightest 'bustle around his head
quarters. One of our American gen
erals called thero one day- when tho
action was nt a critical stage. After
offering salutntions, he was about to
leave, but tlicr generalissimo insisted
on his stnylns the whole afternoon,
during which they discussed general
matters.
On General Foch's table the wholo
battle Is laid out, and while his gen
erals are lighting one action he Is
preparing another. He can figure
pretty closely what Ludendorff will
do in given circumstances. The
matchlng-up of brains between these
two opposing leaders has become n
feature of the war, now that the forces
are nbout equal and the Germans have
ceased to monopolize the offensive.

On the north bank of the Marno

points a short time later.
In the region of the Ourcq and
west of Rhelms thcie were violent

There Is nothing further to re
port. More reserves are being thrown Into
the battle by the Germans, according
to the latest advices reaching Paris,

Allies from making appreciable gains

Kxpect German Push
Military observers here nre con
vinced that General Ludendorff shortly
will launch a counter-offensive. His
objects will be: First, to clear the
front between Solssons nnd Rhelms;
second, to lessen the demoializing
effect of n projected retreat to the
Vehle, and third, to have Germany
tegaln the Initiative.

London, July 2.".
On the western front of the Sols-sons-Rheims
salient tho Allied forces
have, advanced to an average depth
of three miles on a twelve-mile fiont
during the last two days. '
Thero were no new developments
this morning In the battle area accord
ing to advices from the field of the
fighting received in London up to
noon. Tie- situation was considered
quite satisfactory for the Allies.
The reports show that tho German
high command has thus far engaged
sixty-four divisions in the luttle. iep
resentatlve of group of tho German
nrmles from Flanders to Alsace. These
sixty-four divisions are nearly a third
o'f tho available German nimy.
The conclusion is drawn that the
enemy Is being hard put to It for re
serves, although Crown Prince Rup
precht of Bavaria on the northern
front still has plenty of reserve di
visions. In authoritative circles here the
view Is expressed that Germany has
reached what might bo called the
downward curve In her man-power.
This applies to Piince Rupprecht's
army ns well as to the rest of the
German army and It explains why
Prince Rupprecht Is not Inclined to
take the offensive.
This drop In German man-power Is
not a sudden occurrence. It has been

have been nble to place 210 divisions
on the western front this year. From

six months, theso divisions have been

twice during the half year. With opera

Rhelms as far as Chateau-Thierry Now
the front has been widened bv the Allied

nnd the Germans have hurried more
forces 'Into the line, bringing the total
now engaged on this part of the front
tn more than forty and placing n con
siderable Btraln upon the enemy's re
serves. They still have reserve divisions con
centrated at somo plnces behind their
lines, but many units comprised bv these
divisions have been sorely tried already
