, any part of the line. There is an of
ficers' bombing school near the point
where the review wis held and
throughout the time the troops were
assembling and marching by loud ex
plosious of hand grenades in the near
distance gave a touch of war reality
to the picture. vVery early in the
morningthe troops were on the move.
They were' scattered in a dozen or
more French villages and each regi
ment was assembled in a village
where its headquarters had been es
tablished. '
" Open Admiration Apparent. '
The new army regiments are mod
eled on the European standard, quite
different from the old American regi
ments, and when on the march yes
tery of colimi'ii fours the line seem
ed to stretch an interminable distance
along beautifully paved French roads
lined with giant trees. As the Ameri
cans passed through the French "vil
lages, euroute to the reviewing field,
the French peasant folk gazed at them
opeu-eyed in amazement and admira
. tintt. i 1 .
They have seen much of the Ameri
can soldiers individually and in com
panies since their arrival, but this was
the first gathering in force of the
new ally and the impression' it made
on the village farmers and - French
soldiers on leave can easily .be seen
and appreciated. .; .
French Officer! Amazed.
The; FKncht who have been train
ing vomnauie and .battalione of .the
American army, were also surprised,
and it can be truthfully stated that
there was a distinct pause of surprise
and admiration on the part of Major
General Sibert himself when, riding
at the head of the. staff, he. reached
the crest of the reviewing platform
and saw his khaki-clad command
drawn up in a wonderful far-flung line
before hjni. "
Attached to his staff were luff a
dozen French officers, including the
general of a famous division, all of
whom were enthusiastic in their
praise of the spectacle.
Major General Sibert and staff slowr
Jy rode : up and down before the
Various regiments drawn up at at
tention; The previewing ground was
staked out with American, flags and
when General Sibert had taken up his
position the .Immobile army begati to
move. The maneuvers by which it
broke from regimental fronts into
lines of platoon, arranged by com
panies ' and battlions, would nave
done credit to soldiers with' years of
training behind them.
First American Dislay.
It was the first time an American
army had passed in review under its
new organization and, the display was
a most, imposing one. Marching In
line of platoons means moving for
ward w ith four pfatoons abreast, each
platoon being formed in columns of
fours. The space between the pla
toons being considerable, the, head and
front of the marching column are fully
200 feet wide..

and. reciprocal diminution of arma
inents. according to the rules tnd
guarantees to be established in a
measure, necessary and . sufficient for
)he maintenance of public order in
, each state, . ..,,;' .
, Then in the Substitution for armies
the" Institution of artitr$t!on with, its
high 'pacifying function,1 according to
the rules to be laid down and the pen
alties to be imposed on a state which
would refuse either ;o submit a na
tional question to arbitration or to ac
cept' its decision. , 1 '
Once the supremacy' of right has
thus been established all .obstacles to
the mesns' of communication of the
peoples would disappear by assuring,
by rules to, be fixed later, the true
liberty and community of the seas
wliich .would contribute to end the
numerous' causes of conflict and
would also open to all new sources
ol prosperity and progress.
! As to' the damages to be repaired
and as to 'the war expenses we see
no other means of solving the ques
: (ion than by. submitting as a general
Principle the complete and reciprocal
condonation which would be justified
, moreover by the immense benefit. to
be 'derived from disarmament -so
: much so that no one will understand
' the continuation, of a similar carnage
solely for reasons of an economic or
. der.- i ' .- :.; -
' If for certain cases there exist par
ticular reasons incy wouia oc acuD
erated upon with justice and equity,
but these pacific agreements with the
immense advantages to be .derived
from them are not possible -without
a reciprocal restitution of the tern
tory at present occupied.
Consequently on the part '.of Ger
many the complete evacuation of Bel
gium will be guarantee of her full
political, military and economic inde
pendence towards it. ; '
The evacuation of French teVritory.
On the part of other belligerent pap
ties similar restitution of the Ger
man colonies.
As regards the territorial questions
as for example those which have
arisen between Italy and Austria and
: between Germany and France, there
is reason to hope that irr considera
tion of the immense advantages of
a durable peace with disarmament,
the parties in conflict would wish, to
examine them with a conciliatory dis
position, taking into consideration as
we have said formerly the aspirations
of the peoples and the special inter
ests and the general welfare of the
great human society.1
Similar Conflicts Impossible.
The same spirit of equity and
justice ought to be followed in the
examination of other territorial and
political questions, notably those rela
tive to Armenia and the Balkan
states, a,nd territories making a part
of the ancient kingdom of Poland,
whose noble and historical traditions
and sufferings which it has endured,
especially during the present war,
ought to conciliate the sympathies of
nations.
Such are the principal bases where
on we believe the future reorganiza
tion of the peoples ought to be built
They are of a nature to render lm
possible the return of similar con
flicts, and to prepare a solution of the
economic Question so important for
the future and for the material well-
being of all belligerent nations.
Therefore in presenting to you, who
direct at this hour the destinies of
the belligerent nations we are ant'
mated to see them accepted and to
see thus the conclusion at an early
date of .the terrible struggle which
more and more .appears a useless
massacre.
Honor of Armies Safe.
The whole world recognizes that
the honor of the armies of both sides
is safe. Incline your ears therefore
to our prayer. Accept the fraternal
invitation which we send you in the
name of the divine redeemer, the
prince of peace, reflect on your very
grave responsibility before God and
before man. i
On your decision depends 'the re
pose and the joy of innumerable
families, the life of thousands ' of
vounz oeonle: in a word the happi
ness of people for whom it is your
absolute iuty to obtain their welfare.
May the Lord inspire your decision
in conformity to his very holy will.
May God grant that while meriting
the applause of, your contemporaries
you will also obtain in the future gen
erations a splendid, name 'of pacific
ators. "' '
As -for us closely 'united in prayer
and in penitence with all those faith
ful souls which sigh for peace we im
plose for you the light and counsel
of the divine spirit.

Letter of Transmittal.
Cardinal Gasparri's letter of trans
mittal to the king was as follows:
Your majesty,, the holy father anx
ious to do everything he can in order
to put an end. to the conflict which
for the last three years has ravaged
the civilized world, has decided to
submit to the leaders of the belliger
ent peoples", concrete peace proposals
exposed in a doucument which I have
the honor to attach to this letter.
Majr God grant that the words of
his ,'holiness ' will-this time produce
the desired effect for, the good of the
whole of humanity,
j The Holy See not .having diplo
matic relations with the French gov
ernment or with the government of
Italy or the United States, I very
respectfully beg Your Majesty to be
good enough to have handed a copy
of his holiness appeal to the presi
dent pf . the French republic, to his
majesty, the King of Italy, and to
the president of the United States.
-Twelve Other Copies.
I also beg to add twelve other copies
which I request Your. Majesty to be
good enough to hand, to the leaders
of the nations, friendly to the allies,
with the exception, however, of Rus
sia, Belgium and Brazil to whom the
document has been sent direct. t
In expressing to your majesty my
sincere thanks for this extreme kind
ness I am happy to take the oppor
tunity to offer you the homage of
sentiment, a very profound respect
with which I have the honor to sign
myself Your Majesty's very humble
and devoted servant."'

nient which would summon them to
attack.
Everything a Crimson Hue.
Suddenly, ten minutes before the
time set for attack, every British gun
within range broke out with shelling
and solid lines of crimson lightning
belched from the German trenches
as the explosives broke about them.
To this lurid picture .was . added the
unforgettable spectacle of the taming
oil which the British threw on the en
emy lines. Great clouds of pinkish
colored smoke rolled across the coun
try from the .flaming liquid and the
murky sky threw back myriad colors
from the conflagration below.
The moment of attack arrived, and
as the British guns dropped their pro
tecting barrage in front, of the Cana
dian trenches, the clouds parted and
the yellow crescent moon appeared.
Under the light of this beacon the
Canadians leaped over the parapets
and began their methodical advance
behind their barrage fire. -
Resistance Not Strong.
' The British barrage was without a
flaw. Behind it the Canadians
mounted Hill 70 and swept along the
rest of the line. On the crest of the
hill, where so much blood had been
spilled before, heavy fighting might
have been expected, for the position
was well manned with machine guns.
The resistance here, however, was
not strong, and it was not until the
dwellings in the outskirts of the sub
urbs were reached that vigorous fight
ing occurred. The ground over which
the infantry advanced was honey
combed with British shell holes and
the barbed wire defenses had been
levelled so that they gave little trou
ble. The first serious resistance from
the Germans was met at a point where
the encuiy was entrenched strongly in
connected cellars and here sanguinary
fighting occurred.
Lens a Mass of Ruins.
The place is a sample of other
suburbs about Lens. The city is sur
rounded with colliery communities,
which are so close. together and so
near' the city proper, that they really
from one large metropolis. Lens be
fore the war had a population of 30,
000, but it is now a mass of ruins.
Following their usual tactics the
Germans had carried out systematic
destruction of the houses and had
constructed strong underground de
fenses. The whole city is under-

The effect of the British preliminary
bombardment was most demoralizing
to the enemy. Prisoners already taken
were in a dazed state, as a result of
the terrific bombardment, and it is not
strange, perhaps, that when the Brit

ing, many Germans were seen to de

front and near Dixmude, in Belgium.
The ground won by the British in
yesterday's brilliant attack near Lens,
including the highly important Hill
70, was held in the face of all Ger
man counter attacks, General Haig
reports.
While the British were consolidat
ing their new territory near Lens and
defending it against German efforts
to retrieve their losses, they struck
another blow about thirty miles fur
ther north, on a wide front east and
north of Ypres. The official report
from London gives few details of the
battle, but says progress is being
made.
All Objectives Gained.
The French, with the assistance of
British troops on their right, attacked
the German positions on both sides
of the road between the towns of
