GERMANS ACTIVE
IN THECHAMPAGNE
Failure to Take Positions Along
Ainse Followed by Assaults
West of Mont
CarnilleW
(Auoclatod Pre Wu Summary.)
. Having failed disastrously in their
rectfit effort to drive the French from
their commanding positions on the
Chemin-des-Dames, on the Aisne
front, the Germans are now turning

London is reticent as to What is go
ing on along the British front in
France, where there have been indi
cations that some important move
ment was in prospect. The only ac
tivity reported was a nocturnal raid
on British posts near Bullecourt,
which was repulsed.
In Macedonia there is some revival
of activity, but seemingly not on a
large scale. Enemy troops, probably
Bulgarians, launched an assault on the
west of Doljeki, southwest of Lake
Doiran, but were compelled by a

inflicted by British airplanes. in June."
The following report from the
Egyptian front was given out here to
day: "The situation is unchanged. There
has been considerable artillery fight

my guns and destroyed many gun em

the troops was lower than the aver
age in Egypt in the five years preced
ing the war." .

FLETCHER MEETS
LANSIN60N TRAIN
Rush Visit of Ambassador is
Taken to Indicate Import
ant Developments in
Mexico,
Washington, July 6. Enough im
portance was attached to the mission
of Henry P. Fletcher, ambassador to
Mexico, to arrange for a conference
today with Secretary Lansing on
board the train which is carrying the
secretary to Henderson Harbor, N.
y., for a three weeks' vacation.
State department officials have
professed ignorance as to the nature
of the mission of Ambassador Fletch
er. He requested permission to come
to Washington three weeks ago and
left as soon as authorized.
By some officials it was assumed
the ambassador wished to explain to
the secretary the extent to which
German activities have been carried
on in Mexico. Reports that Mexico
would enter the war as an ally of the
entente powers is not regarded by
most officials here as probable.
They also believe it improbable that
Mexico will become active in its sup
port of Germany.

German Critic Writes of
Part of Americans in War1
Copenhagen, July 6. Captain von
Salzmann, military critic of the Vos
sische Zeitung of Berlin, devotes a
two-column article to the military in
fluence of America on the war, which
he says is already evident and that
the effects must not be underesti
mated. Captain von Salzmann assures his
readers that in regard to quality the
American soldiers will not attain the
standards of brilliance characterizing

the French and German armies or
their talent in leadership, finesse in
execution and quickness of decision,
but that America's military contribu
tion, like Great Britain's, will find ex
pression in numbers and mechanical
application of brute power.
America's numbers, he writes, are
counted upon by the entente in re
spect of men, artillery and particu
lary aviators. Incorporated in divi
sional units with British and French
troops, as Captain von Salzmann ex
pects the American forces to be, he
says they will be worthy opponents.
Nevertheless the Americans will
not affect the result on the western
front, he writes in conclusion, because
Field Marshal von Hindenburg says
the submarine will force a decision
before they become a decisive factor.
Bloomington, 111., July 6. With
several companies of National
Guardsmen patrolling the streets, this
city was quiet today after a night of
rioting by street car strike sympathiz
ers. During the disturbances many
street cars were burned and several
persons were injured.
The strike had been in progress
for several weeks, but had been or
derly until last night, when "Mother"
Jones addressed a crowd of strikers
and sympathizers. Following her
speech the . crowd began attacking
street cars and crews. One man in
the crowd of rioters was shot through
the neck and is in a hospital today.
The rioters then visited the power
plant, but this was shut down, and
they left, breaking the windows of
the offices of the traction company
as they went and attacking more
street cars. Appeals by the mayor and
sheriff finally influenced them to de
sist from further rioting and early to
day the crowd began to disperse.
Mayor E. E. Jones appealed to
Governor Lowden to send troops to
quell disorder today and to prevent
further destruction of property and
it was learned from Springfield that
the governor had ordered six Chi
cago companies of the Finst Illinois
cavalry, two artillery units and Troop
G, First Illinois cavalry, of Peoria,
to the scene of the trouble.
