Tho average man In a country such

often asks: "What Is happening In Aus

been In circulation about riots and rev

seem to hne been repeated with sensa-

Sir Bobi.rt Borden 'U eeh lelttrnt-
ed the iiredlctlon that even should other
methods of warfare fall to bring about
n military decision against uermany.
that desirable consummation would cei
talnly be attained by supremacy In the
air. The date when that supremacy
would bo finally established was fixed
by tbo Canadian Premier as dependent
upon America.
While rumors have latterly been cur
rent that Germany had been making
special efforts to counter the ascendancy
which the Allies obtained In the air.
there has been no evidence this last week
that these efforts have so far been suc
cessful. The fact that In a raid on
Saarbrucken seven British machines
were lost after heavy fighting was taken
bv pessimists tn indicate tho opening
of a new phase In the struggle for
ascendancy, but the best information
available Is that It Is only by with
drawing urgently needed machines from
other vital points that the enemy
has been able to ohtaln a numerical
supremacy and that this was the case at
Saarbrucken
If anything, British ascendancy has
been confirmed by tho present week's
records, which show that for every
British machine which failed to return
more than two German machines are
known to have been destroyed.
Some authorities believe It to be al
ready obvious that to maintain her bat
tle squadrons at effectivo strength and
at the same time to defend her many
vulnerable positions elsewhere Is al
ready beyond the power of Germany.

ny GEORGE RENWICK
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copirtoht. 1919, by Ntxo York Times Co,
Amsterdam, Aug. 3. Side by side with
the news of tho Kiev murders, there
appear in the German press additional
articles and messages regarding the
black outlook In tho east. The Cologne
Volks Zeitung says:
"With the taking of Ekaterinburg by
the Czechu-Slovaks goes the last rail
way link between the Moscow Soviet
and Siberia. The plans -of the Czecho
slovaks aim at the cuttlngoff of all com
munication with Moscow and they reckon
that the consequent hunger of the
masses In Moscow and Petrograd will
have Its effect. It is highly doubtful If
the Bolshevlkl can master the situation
and there Is no use shutting our eyes to
the fact that the frulta ot the Entente
begin to ripen at least as far as their
next and immediate aim, the overthrow
of the Bolshevlkl, ls concerned."

it Is a happy coini idencc that the

of this fact Personally, I believe the

the conclusion of peace, nnd am sure I
shall find the same spirit In Bngland.
"We can now see what that end is

Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
j 1. linden, Aug. 3.
, n-le .msferdam correspondent of the
l:x that German news,
"
papers are filled with columns of ohltu-
, ary notices of Field Marshal von Elcli-
horn, coupled with tho usual allegation
that It was Entente machinations which
caused his assassination. The Cologne
Gazette describes the murder as a "typi
cal piece of British diplomacy." It ls
very bitter about those In and out of Ger
many who now proclaim that Germany's
policy towaid Russia has been foolish
and short-sighted.
"We would like those eternal advisers
to tell us how they would have managed
to get Ukrainian corn Into Germany," It
stntes "The Russians hated us before
the war.' There is no reason to Iiellcve
that they like us better since we have
beaten them Tho Hettman has tele
graphed the Kaiser that he would crush
the present Kiev revolt, adds the Ga
zette, "and if his power is Insufficient,
there are enough Oerman troops in the
Ukraine to help him. We have been
called Into the Ukraine to re-establish
order, and shall not leave the country
before that i3 done."
The Berlin Post considers the position
of the Germans In Russia untenable, and
states: "We begin to wonder whether
we are really getting something from the
peace treaties with Russia and the
Ukraine."
Semiofficially, the assassination of
Klchhorn Is attributed to the Entente,
whose Interest Is supposed to be the cre
ation ot a state of anarchy In Russia,
whereas Germany wants order to be re
stored. Whether military action against
the Ukraine Is to be undertaken has not
been decided yet. Berlin political circles
seem unanimous that something ought to
be done, but they do not agree regarding
the steps.

The Trail of The Beast
Why has America sworn that there shall be no peace while
German militarism still lives? Why is your son, with 3,000,000
others, facing death on the battlefields of France and Italy?
The answer lies in the crimes committed by Germany against
every code and tenet of civilization crimes which transcend in bar
barism and fiendish cruelty the records of Nero and the outrages of
Atilla.
In his foreward to a list of these atrocities partial, but authen
ticated by sworn testimony
WILLIAM H.TAFT
Former President of the United States
declares: 'it is a bewildering accumulation of blackening and damn
ing proof. One is appalled by the bloody and awful details at first,
until he finds himself, by their repetition, in a shocking state of insensi
bility and dullness to acts which, brought to his attention as individual
instances under normal conditions, would create in him a hot indigna
tion which could not resist the most forcible expression."
This catalog of German crimes, compiled through official
sources opened by President Wilson, David Lloyd George, Viscount
Bryce and many others, will appear on the fourth anniversary of the

By the Associated Press
With the American Army on the Alune-
Marne Front, Aug. 3.
German soldiers generally welcome
the news that more American soldiers
are arriving In France, believing that
tho faster the Americans arrive the
sooner there will be a decisive battle
or a definite peace move, according to
a sergeant of the Fourth Prussian
Guards division, who was captured by
the Americans near Sergy.
The prisoner told the correspondent
that the German soldiers were sick of
the war, and also that tho poorer classes
In Germany had had sufficient war, nnd
they believe now that Germany Is hound
to lose. The capitalists, however. In
sist on continuing the war at all costs.
"German oiliccrs," the prisoner said,
"Informed us months ago that the Amer
icans were taking few prisoners nnd
that those taken were treated Inhuman
ly. They kept warning us constantly
that death was preferable to being
captured by the Americans, but not all
the German soldiers believed that,
despite the high regard In which olllcers
are supposed to be held.
"Among the German soldiers It was
common talk that If any one of them
had a good chance to be taken prisoner
In the hands of the Americans, he would
do so, providing he was reasonably cer
tain that he could pretend he was not
altogether to blame. So, generally
among the Germans who have been In
the war four years, as I have been, many
are eagerly watching for an opportunity
to be captured."

AMERICANS IN FRANCE? SURE,
HINDENBURG PLANNED IT ALL
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger

lionclon, Aug. 3.
The correspondent of the Daily Express at Geneva reports nn article
written by General Torllngven, written in the Manhelm Anzleger, stating
that American military Intervention may now be considered a fact, but
that the Americans aie untrained and Inexperienced and therefore must'
be wedged, In between the English nnd French troops. Their numbers, he
says, have been exaggerated by half; nevertheless, he adds, constant
arrivals of Americans have permitted Foch to fill up the gaps caused by
the German offensive since the spring.
The German editor of the Gazette de Lorraine publishes a long article
on the Americans. He ndmits that a million troops are now In France,
but this fact he says Is due entirely to Hindenburg's prearranged plan of,
allowing American troopships to cross the Atlantic unmolested by German
submarines.
Hindcnburg, he states, is waiting until the Americans suffer their first
military defeat on the French front, in order to form a formidable barrage
of submarines in the Atlantic, thus cutting off their communications from
America and starving out the American army in Fiance.
Tho Tribune De Geneva, commenting on this suggestion, says: "How
can such colossally silly lucubrations be allowed to be exported Into neutral
countries? They should be kept for home consumption. The German
general staff, however, controls the press."
fA
The sergeant said the officers' never
told them the truth when there wda.
to bo a German offcntlve. The officer
got tho soldiers nerved for a fight by'
Informing them the Allies were about
to launch n attack and then at the'
proper time they would order their own
men forward,
There Is no danger of a revolution
among the German soldiers, he oon-
ttnucd, so long as they are well fed. vf

mostly in me iorm or a stew, every "!
day, but tho poorer classes at home had,
only three-quarters of a pound pe'r
man. Generally speaking, the soldiers
had enough to eat, but no luxuries
War weariness In Germany, the ser
geant declared, was Increasing as the
war continued. He ndded that If the
Americans had had four years of war
they would be war weary, too. Among
the troops there was not much gossip
heard about the Emperor, most of the
talk concerning Field Marshal von Hln
denburg, who ls looked upon as tho
world's greatest warrior.
The sergeant Is thirty years old and
hns a wife and four children In Berlin.
He said he had been engaged In the
Marne fighting three days when he was
wounded In the leg hy an American
bullet. He dropped to tho ground when
he saw two Americans rushing toward
him. Soon afterward ho was carried to
the rear on a stretcher. The sergeant'!
cot ls among fifty containing American
wounded. One big wounded American
made such a fuss tn attempts to con
tlnuo the fighting with the German that
ho had to be moved to another war.
