W. T. Mason, staff correspondent of the United Press association. ox o Capture of Gen. von Kluck’s old army of the Aisne is the immediate object of the Anglo-French offensive. General von Kluck has gone into retirement, but von Kluck’s corner at the southwestern curve of the west- ern battle.front remains one of the major defensives of the German hold- ings in France. To compel the eva- cuation- of this area under penalty of capture of von Kluck’s veterans is the reason why the allies have start- ed their drive 'so near to the Aisne. Von Kluck’s corner is the Verdun of the German western front and the allies are trying to duplicate on a larger scale the German offensive strategy at Verdun. An advance of 20 miles to St. Quentin will put the allies in a position to dominate the principal lines of communication on wheh the German southwestern Aisne army relies for sustenance. The gains of the French and British have been due to the intensity of their artillery fires. The British report that their casualties have been small and are unquestionably correct. The big guns of the allies devastated the German first line trenches before the infantry began to move forward. Now, however, ‘the allies are un- questionably facing new ‘German en- trenchments. fully as strong as those captured. It will be necessary to re- new the strong artillery attack and when the secondary lines of defense are taken, a third and fourth will remain, to be blasted away before the infantry can consolidate. The British have been hoarding their ammunition for a year. In fact, there must lie the hope of the allies that the present drive will force the Germans to retire from the Aisne. THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE The average American - citizen looks upon the Russian common peo- ple as down-trodden, submissive and cowed. G Phil Simms, United Press staff cor- respondent, has ‘‘discovered” the truth about this wonderful people. He has written a series of seven stories showing the marvelous co-operative organization of the Russian masses which is rising toward the zenith of its power and’ efficiency through the FOR COUNTRY ROADS. Ninety per cent of the registration and license fees paid in 1915 by auto- mobilists to the states, or $16,213,387 was spent for the building and main- tenance of county and state roads, according to a compilation just pub- lished by the Office of Public Roads, U. S. Department of Agriculture. In all, 2,445,664 motor vehicles were registered in that year, an increase of 734,325 over 1914. Automobile fees now defray nearly seven per cent of the total amount spent on ru- ral road and bridge building, where- as in 1906 the income from this source was less than three-tenths of one per cent of the total expenditure. There was a sane Fourth of July celebration on the border.
