' j The Americans took Juvigny by I storm. After being held up for three I days, gaining foot by foot and then being driven back foot by foot, ouri troops, after getting a good flank foot-' lng and following strong artillery nc- j tlon, rushed the village. When our troops went through, right after our artillery work, the Germans not killed were hiding In the cellars and numer ous caves of the place. In mopping up the village our men took some 230 prisoners belonging to the 223d Divi sion. In the meanwhile the French on both sides had pushed forward. Americans Get Second Wrml Spires of the churches of La on are visible from our front line where It climbs to the top of the plateau. After they captured the stubbornly defended village the Americans took a breathing spell and then again at tacked In force way up the hill beyond Juvigny onto the plateau. Just before ntnrtlng one of our offi cers killed n German officer and on the body found a map showing an elab orate and extensive machine gun tiap which had been set for the Americana In the woods lying on the slope. AVe delayed our attack long enough to have the 76s wlps out those machine gun nests and then went ahead. With the German established posi tions out of commission, the fight be comes one of stalking, scouting and hand-to-hand combats, at which our men fear no GermaiiK. After six hours of bloody fighting we gained a posi tion on the plateau, mid we not only hold It. but have pushed ahead toward the highway In front of us. It Is believed that much further movement of the Allied forces east ward op the plateau will cause the Germans to withdraw from the Vesle to the Aisne or even further back to the Chemln-des-Dames position. There have been as yet no indications along tho Vesle front that the enemy has begun a general withdrawal ln that sector, where American troops are facing him, with French on either side. Shell Kills Prisoners American headquarters north of Soissons were the scene of a dramatic war Incident. In the mouth of a large cave some 200 German prisoners were lying about when a six-Inch boche shell landed In the midst of them, killing eight and wounding thirty. Another party of prisoners began to run ln another direction when a sur prised American sergeant opened upon them with an automatic. In the ex citement some one gave the gas alarm, and ln the scuffle for masks three Americans couldn't find theirs. When the excitement died down three Germans were found to be wearing American gas masks. One of the Germans killed, a mere boy of seventeen, had just before shown an American officer a letter from his mother, telling him as soon as he got a chance to surrender to the Americans, who would send him to the United States. The first ques tion he asked wbb: "Wrhen will you send me to New York? I have always wanted to see that city." He was much crestfallen when told he would net be sent to New York. k,One German officer, who was wound ed by a shell, could talk English, and Insisted on telling the Americans that the German gunners had shot them on purpose because they had surren dered. "Damn the Kaiser!" he said. This seemed to have made a hit with the Americans, for six hours later saw this German in a hospital surrounded by twenty slightly wounded doughboys and he was still saying over and over, "Damn the Kaiser! Damn the Kaiser!" Young Bind Undersized These prisoners are almost all very young. All.

Amsterdam, Sept. 2. All portents point to coming political rhanges In Germany. It not to r serious political crisis. Though the military mis fortune is not without Its profound ef fect on AVilhelmstrnsse, the root of the evil lies In the political ground The process of change, most likely slow, may progress by fits and starts, but In Germany It appears to be agreed that the motive powers of popular dis content and political confusion are strong and growing. Even if one sets aside the numerous reports reaching the Dutch frontier of military mutinies and j popular .unrest, there Is sufficient evl 1 dence of acute disturbance In the public : mind and political circles. The U-boat I failure, Ihe turn of the tide in the west and the peril of nn economic war are ' I'll very keenly felt. I For Instnnce, In tho Pan-German weekly. Das Grossere Dmitschland, Herr Hacmelster, n National Liberal advocate of armament, plainly voices the alarm felt at' the prospect of an economic war and declares that the Inability of the Government to produce anything like n counter-policy and Its complete failure to face those economic questions which closely concern the people "have roused widespread hate among all classes." He as good as admits that the people are heartily sick of the war. He talks of "pessimism and half-heartedness" among the masses. He says that they no longer helleve the Pan-Oerman creed, with Its chief article of faith that the Entente wishes to wipe out tne German people, who are becoming more convinced that this Is merely war In the Interest of the ruling classes. War Minister von Stein, too, in his his torical outburst the other day. clearly showed that a jumpy, scared feeling pre vails throughout Germany. As for the Government, It Is safe to sy that Count von Hertllng is now re I warded as a failure. The Pan-Owmani are intensely disappointed at the weak way In which he has championed their cause, and his statement that Germany will not retain Belgium H taken as final proof that this Bavarian Is not a fitting representative of Prusslanlsm, His qualification of his Belgium state ment that Germany would use Belgium as a pawn-has turned the progressives against him. I think I am right In saying that it is clearly recognlted In the highest political circles that the qualification Is ridiculous, and that the two points are mutually destructive. Ilertllns Snub Relchitas Hertllng, of course, came into office virtually as the nominee of the Reichs tag majority parties, but whenever Im portant matters have had to bo dealt with he forgets that body and rushes off lo headquarters, where he bus stayed oftener and longer than any of his Im mediate predecessors. This snubbing of rFAWtho Reichstag Is keenly felt by the mln ' Isters who went from the Reichstag to ' the Government. It Is recognised, ln short, that Hert llng is a man he was seventy-live years old Saturday with no great grasp of things and no ability to lead In foreign I"?"1', Tner' '," a hkeilhood that ho will lake an early opportunity to make I rpotT) for Bome one els!i probab,y Doctor Solf. As for Herr von Hlntie.lie has made ! a bnd beginning as foreign minister. He has done himself little good by his mes sages about Ireland, India and Egypt to absurd societies headed by extreme jin goes, who have the audacity to proclaim that their organizations stand for the right of self-determination. His first attempt to cross swords with Mr. Lloyd George Is regarded generally as a sorry failure, but he Is a shrewd Individual, unlikely to commit himself too far and quite ready to veer round to the most successful side. It Is clear that there are powerful antlPan-German factors at work, how ever supreme the Pan-Germans may ba ln the small circuits where they really rule today. Doctor Dernburg a few days ago referred to 'statesmen who work behind the front In order to give new strength to the Incontestable utterance I of Herr von Kuehlmann that weapons alone win not oring ine war to an end," One sees evidence of the work of those factors In such things as the publlca- Lh!!lJKrW f tHe " - memorandum. There Is a widespread feeling that $20 For a Special Group of $30 All- Wool Suits in a Variety of Patterns AN OFFER which holds especial value signifi cance for forehanded men and young men in view of the fact that the Govern ment has said there will be no wool in the market for civilian purposes after the end of this year. These suits are to be had in conservative patterns, dark oxfords, handsome mixtures and inconspicuous heather combinations. William H. Von Kuehtmann holds far more ad vanced views than he dared utter as a member of the Pan-German controlled Government, and that he and others are merely biding their time. It Is signifi cant that the Fatherland party Is nofr ilnglng very small, and undoubtedly that organization recognises that the vast mass of the people Is against Its mad hatter policy. . The Pan-Germans are exceedingly an noyed at the extent to which .the antl-' Pan-Germans rule In some ministries. A writer In the Pan-German weekly, to which I referred above, asks. In anger If the Foreign Office has nothing to do "but to wage war against the Pan Germans," and with that war, he says, "the Colonial Minister Is closely con cerned." In circles around the colonial and for. elgn ministers, Tlrplts, he adds. Is hated, the U-boat war Is regarded as a dis grace, and the greatest wish Is for closer union between the Reichstag and the government. He claims to know that Dr. Solf believes, with Bcthmann Hollweg, that Germany did wrong to Belgium and that wrong must be made good unconditionally. This view Is con firmed from other quarter. HERTLING ANXIOUS REGARDING FUTURE Amsterdam. Sept. 2 -Count von Hertllng, the Imperial German Chancellor, expressed anxiety over the outlook for the future in an address to n delegation of representa tives of the Catholic Students' Union. According to a Berlin dispatch, the Chancellor spoke of the' sacrifices and the demands of war and declared sig nificantly that In addition to the sac rifices of blood, from which hardly any family had been entirely spared, mere are nuiiuuiircs .... . . "" - clothing and manifold deprivations nt the nresent time, and I nm anxious concerning the outlook for the tuuirc' . , . War, the Chancellor declared, was and Is the greatest possible expcrl - ence for the nation. It manifests itself, he said, among Germany's en emies In the form of hatred "border- lng on Insanity," while among the Germans It displays Its effects prln- clpally Internally ln strengthening the ' Inclination to criticism against the' .... ,. Thi. i Government and Its measures. This' criticism Intensified party antaco nlsms, the Chancellor added, and he warned the students that "there, gen tlemen, there Is undoubtedly danger. Field Marshal von Hlndenburg, In a birthday telegram to Chancelor von Hertllng. says: ! "Germany Is fighting a bitter battle. In ever-renewed attacks our enemies are attempting to enforce a decisive break through. In which they have, up i lo the present, failed. They will con tlnue their useless attempts. ! "A severe battle has still to he fought. ' The German people know what . is at stake. They know that on the battle fields f.f France and Flanders the Ger man army Is defending the sacred ground of the Fatherland. "Recent announcements by enemy statesmen show purely and simply the will to annihilation and demonstrate to all of us the fate which Germany has to expect If she Is not victorious ln this battle.

Paris Is gay In n different way from flint nt MAnna ilai.a A frrAt fPfltlim now Is the presence of so many Amer - lean soldiers and others engaged In war work. Their number Is not only great, but they count double, with their energy and exuberance. They also contribute to the move ment upward of all prices. They nre free bidders for anything they want. The figures of America's war ex penditure are colossal, I have heard an estimate of n billion and a half francs as the nctual rish directly distributed monthly by the Americans In Fmnce. Whatever the figures, they will continue to grow by leaps and bounds. ' While It Is a good thing for the , country, In a way.
