ENEMY ASSAULTS
"BITTER FAILURES,"
FRENCH DECLARE
Eastern Side of Rheims Un
changed and Fluctuations.
' ?- to West "Insignificant,"
Say Commanders.
- . By Associated Press.
With the French Forces in France,
July 17. The Germans today were
-throwing their utmost efforts north
ward of the Marne in the direction
oi Manteuil-La-Fosse, which fell
) momentarily into their .hands, but
shortly afterwards was retaken bj
the French in a brilliant counter at
tack. The situation is generally re
garded as excell'-it for the allies,
who. '-stead of having to meet an
otTens.ve on a grand scale, now are
being forced to ward off local attacks.
South of the Alarne numerous uer-i
man attacks were repulsed, while the
allies in counter attacks regained
some ground north of St. Agnan.
Among the allied soldiers .the feel
ing prevails that they haveregained
the ascendancy over the enemy, and
they go forward with the greatest
confidence when ordered to carry out
counter attacks, even when their
numbers are 'considerably smaller
ihan those of the enemy.
Farm Bitterly Contested.
' s The Germans sent a heavy col
umn against the Bonbonniere farm, in
v. t.ie vicinity of St. Agnan, which l ad
been recaptured by Franco-American
forces yesterday, and succeeded in re
v occupying it after a furious battle
; This is still continuing at this hour.
..Further eastward along the, south
ern bank of the Marne, the Germans
attacked and temporarily occupied
Montvoison, until the French came
back and ejected them.
' ' .While the enemy was attempting
a strong push towards Epernay, in an
tffort to cause the evacuation of the
-.Mountain of Rheims he also was
making a number of attacks on each
Side -of that city. So far all these as-
saults have been bitter failures.
The eastern side of Rheims remains
. exactly as it was yesterday andthe
fluctuations on the western side, ac-
cording to the millitary commanders,
are absolutely insignificant.
fc . ; Gouraud Bars Crown Prince.
?. General Gouraud. hero of the
Pardanellcs. was the French coni-
' ,' wander who barred the advance of
the German, crown prince in the
Lliampagne. It was he who, to the
east of Rheims.'in one day brought
the host of Germans to va standstill
with comparatively , insignificant
Josses among his own men.

been identified in the first line of this
sector tront alone. By tne end ot tne
first day of fighting half of these
t' - ' divisions had been badly mauled. The
precaution the French had taken be
fore the Teuton offensive began was
such that the Germans were unable
1 to. capture a single prisoner in the
Champagne during the scvcfcil days
preceding the attackt The Germans
thus were deprived of tbe; possibility
obtaining information ' regarding
the French plans.." '
When the German artillery prcpara
j lion started on the night of the 14th
, f (lie flashes from thousands of guns
' were -so vivid that they lighted up
the streets of Chalons, nearly 20 miles
' front the front. The French replied
with an equally powerful fire, and
everything for many miles trembled
until dawn, when the German in-
frintrv ram river1.
The advancing waves, were of great
density, giving the hundreds of
s ' t rencn as a point Diann target.

of Freiburg conferred upon him
degree of Doctor of Medicine.
The degree of M. D. was granted
at Freiburg on the presentation of a
thesis, much in the same way that the
degree of Ph. D. and other academic
degrees are conferred by American
universities. Dr. Rumcly's thesis was
probably the briefest on record. One
of the professors at Freiburg, a sur
geon, had the habit, whenever he per
formed an abdominal operation of
any kind, of cutting out the patient's
appendix at the same time and pre
serving it. He had several hundred
of these canned appendices in his
laboratory.
Young Rumely subjected them au
to microscopic examination and
found certain pathological conditions
common to all of them, the diseased
and healthy alike. His deductions
and conclusions, based on this re-
coarrh nrnmicH in written form leSS
than three pages of typewriting, but
on this thesis he was awarded tlu
coveted prize.
Active in German Politics.
It was during his residence in Frei
burg that young Rumely took an act
ive part in German politics. With
out going through the formality of
renouncing his American ciuzensmp
he became an active member of the
socialist party." The socialists of
Freiburg, although in the minority,
held the balance of power. In Frei
burg lived Dr. von Schulze-Gaever-
nttz, one- ot tne toremost scoiars ana
students of statecraft in the German
empire.
To a very considerable extent Uer
man opinion of England, the English
people and tncir relative importance
in the scheme is uasea upon me wru
ings of Yon Schulze-Gaevcrnitz, who
spent several years in England and
wrote voluminously of his observa
tions there, in von sciuuzc-uaever-
nitz's belief the English were a de
cadent race and the British empire
dying of Jry rot. Dr. Rumely, as he
ha more than once assured me, thor
oughly coincided as a result of his
own observations while at uxtora.
Dr. Von Schulze-Gacvernitz had al
so traveled extensively in Russia and
helped by his writings to form Ger
man opinion of Kussia ana tne tuis
.ian Of Von Srhulze-Gaevernitz in
iiis role of defender of and apologist
for Germany s world amoittons you
shall hear more later, for the friend
ship that sprung up between the Ger
man scholar and the young American
medical student proved an enduring
one, at least up to a very short time
before America drew the sword
against Germany.
I do not know that young Rumely
was the one who suggested to the
socialists of Freiburg that they were
fhrnwinir.awav their votes bv nomi
nating a thifld party ticket and thereby
the election of a
member of the Catholic party to the
reichstagurom that district; he tells
with great gustoi however, of the

MINISTER BURIAN
Declares Ideas of Entente
Xould Be Realized by Peace
able Co-Operation ot
AH Peoples.
Amsterdam, July. 17. The Austro-
Hungarian government regards the
war' as "senseless and purposeless
bloodshed" and believes it might be
ended when the allies again manifest
feelings of humanity. Baron Ounan,
the Austro-Hungarian foreign minis
ter, made this statement in the con
cluding portion of his address to ,the
Austrian and Hungarian premiers
Tuesday, according to dispatches
from Vienna.'
After declaring that the allies would
not succeed in their purpose or sow
intr discord amone nationalities in
the monarchy, the foreign minister
saw:
"Insofar as they (the entente) are
n aimino at flic UROllisition of tef-
llv. . 1
ritbry, they are exhausting their
strength and ours in order to build
rn Vi. mint nf civilization a new ar
rangement of the world, whereas the
ideas underlying sucn an arrangement,
u.-ViirVi or ran;i hip of realization and
which also are warmly approved by
us, might be reahaca mucn more
easilyvand much more completely by
the peaceable co-operation of all peo
ples." . . r
Washington, July 17. There is only
one opinion in official circles as to the
note addressed by Baron Burian, the
Austro-Hungarian foreign minister,
to the Austrian and Hungarian pre
miers, upon the suoject oi P"c
That is that this evidently carefully
framed communication was designed
to prepare the way for peace negotia
tions immediately upon the hoped-for
successful conclusion of the present
great German drive against the en
tente forces.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo
t want tn V-ppn vour hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it wun.
Most ' soaps and prepared, sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair,brittle,
and is very harmful. Jubt plain mul
slfied cocoanut oil (which is pure and
entirely greaseless), is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing, as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rioh, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair . dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cficoanut oil
at mne. on v rlmo ctrtra Tt ia verV
