PULSORY PEACE
Dispatch to Temps From Geneva Says
Belligerent Attitude of Ger
many Precludes.
Starting Plan That Will Have a
Tendency to Stop the War in
Europe.
Copenhagen, July IS. The Ger
man conservatives have decided to
submit in the reichstag an alterna
tive resolution on the aims of the war
from the annexationist standpoint. A
test vole between this and the bloe
resolution will come up Friday. A
majority of the Reichstag, though
perhaps a small one, is claimed for
the latter.
Admiral von Tirpitz has tele
graphed an appeal to Ernst Basser
mann, the national liberal leader, who
is now an invalid, to leave the sani
tcrium where he is under treatment
and assist in the fight against the,
bloc resolution in the Reichstag. The
Yon Tirpitz message says:
"No passing food difficulties of
war weariness must be allowed to
soften the German people's determin
ation and render possible a pence
which would threaten the future of
Germany and its working classes.
The bulk of the national liberals will
probably vote against the non-annexa-tionir.t
resolution.
With intense interest diverted for
the moment from the fighting fronts
where there has been a noticeable
slacking of hostilities, attention is fo
cused on the convening Thursday af
ternoon of the German Reichstag.
At the opening session will be heard
the first utterances of the r.ew im
perial chancellor, Dr. Michaelis, con
cerning his war utterances that nat
urally will be momentous, in as much
as they will indicate whether, with
the recent changes in the German
government, Germany is to continue
her warfare without abatement or
whether the voices for , peace that
have been heard, and especially in the
Reichstag, are an thing but empty
expression.
The probuble'attitude of the chan
cellor already has run the gamut of
diverse speaking, but as yet nothing
has been evolved from the many un
official discussions of man and his
ideas and intentions on which any
thing like certainty can be based.
Some writers express the belief
that the chancellor's leanings will be
toward the peace movement in the
Reichstag, others have advised the
opinion that it will be that of mili
taristic party and there are others
who consider the assumption of of
ficers merely a part of a stop-gup
program preliminary to the formation
of something in the nature of a dic
tatorship. After having tried ineffectually to
overcome the fight gains in the Ver
dun sector between the eastern edge
cf the Avoeourt Wood and Hill 304,
the Germans have ceased their costly
enterprises and are now contenting
themselves with throwing shells into
the position which General Petain's
men forced them to evacuate.
Likewise, along the Chemin des
Dames the violent infantry work has
ceased and artillery Works instead.
The British and the Germans con
tinue their violent artillery duels and
Field Marshal Haig's forces are keep
ing up their harrassing patrol raids
on numerous sectors of the front. One
of the most successful of these was
carried out east of Monchy Le Prcux,
in the Arras sector, in which the
British gained ground and took pris
oners. .
On the Russian front General Kor
niloff's army in east Galicia is stub
bornly holding back the reinforced
Austro-German armies, which at
various points are striving to wrest
from the positions recently won in
the Halicz and Kalusz sector.
In the latter region near a village
of Novica the enemy wen a vantage
point from the Russians, but immedi
ately afterwards in a counter attack
lost it again. The Germans are bom
barding the Russians south of Brze-
zany m:d near Halicz.

American Training Camp In
France, July 18. The latest develop
ment of the camp is a postoffice which
will enable men to mail letters either
home or to any other point in the
world, without revealing their exact
whereabouts. The system will be en
larged to fit needs.
At present it consists in requiring
of each soldier or officer that he ad
dress his communications from the
American training camp and deposit
them in a special postoffice from
where they will be taken by pouch
to' Paris and mailed in the ordinary
manner. Similar return mail should
be addressed to the training camp of
the American expeditionary forces,

When the troops left their base
they took with them surplus supplies
which are now being turned back to
the quartermaster's department head
quarters for redistribution so that
there will soon be more 'than enough
of such things as tobacco and similar
little luxuries which have been some
what scarce.
Officers who are billeted among the
inhabitants still are paying moderate
prices for quarters. They may by re
quest pajr one franc daily for quar
ters and provided they eat at a "ho
tel," expend seven francs daily for ex
cellent food.
Heavy Water Drinkers.
Water is abundant here, but un
certain as to purity, so the troops are
adopting filtering methods by means
of bags suspended from tripods,
which astonish the local habitants al
most as much as the Americans' in
explicable thirst for water, which is
unknown to wine drinkers, many of
whom seldom touch water.
The presence of the soldiers here
has naturally introduced many nov
elties, none more welcome than the
daily evening concert, which attracts
the people from far around, people
who have been without music since
the outbreak of the war.
An attractive feature of the camp
to Fit
Business!
In the CMC line the Manufacturer, Mer
chant, Municipality, Contractor, Farmer
in fact any man, business or corporation
with hauling to do can find the truck that
will fit the work to be done. THAT makes
motor trucks profitable.
The CMC line presents trucks from 1,500
pounds to 5 ton capacity. In no other fac
tory can such a variety of trucks be found.
From no other factory can better quality
be had.

is a lion cub in the camp of a certain
regiment. The cub was presented as
a mascot by American residents in
Paris. He was young and harmless
a short time ago but is growing as
tonishingly and is a veritable terror
to the townspeople and now a source
of doubtful amusement to the sol
diers, many of whom bear scratches
to testify to the nature of his play
ful ness.
Train With French.
Plans are rapdily developing for
regular and constant training in co
operation with the French troops en
camped in this district, whose long
cxperiece has been placed at the dis
posal of the newcomers. The French
and American headquarters are in the
same building and there is constant
co-operation between the two forces.
An amusing but not altogether hap
py feature of the inauguration of the
training camp was the confusion in
vvhich the telegraph office was thrown
when it found itself confronted with
numerous newspaper dispatches to
handle in place of occasional brief
messages. The length of the dis
patches, even though they were all
too brief, completely upset the op
erators at the beginning, and their
unfamiliarity with the English lan
guage increased the difficulties. The
situation however, is improving every
