It was with this in mind that the Germans set up a dictatorship in TUkrainia and encouraged the people fn Transcaucasia to proclaim a republic “under German protection.” Thus the way was opened for a new route to India. ¥ It. would have three western term- inals — Odessa, Constantza, and Sebastopol, in the Crimea. From any of these ports the Germans could es- tablish a line of freight vesse*s crossing the lack sea to Batum, prin- cinal port of Transcaucasia. ‘From Batum a railroad runs across the narrow stretch of land ‘between them is to go to the wall will depend almost wholly on’ the spirit of sacri- fice of the German peopnle when we ettled accounts with France and active in Afghanistan indicates the prenerations the Huns are making for exnloitation of the country.

There is’little ques- tion, that.the Junker plan includes re- ducing the Scandinavian nationa to vassalage. : ‘ si'Thé German plan even takes;into ‘consideration as a side-idsue: the, con- trol ‘of the trans-Siberian railway from. Petrograd to Vladivostok. But the Japanese can be depended upon to thwart the Hun schemes in this direc- tion. Thus it can ibe seen that if the Ger- man lust for world power is gratified, the kaiser wil ibe able to ride on his own railroad from Kola to Bombay, in about the same time that is required to travel from New York to San Fran- cisco. I A nation of: 80,000,0°O people would rule over 125,000,000 pecple in the re- lationship of vassals —:omprising the Russigns, Magyars, Turks and Bulgars —and 100,000,000 or mora besides who are abject slaves, bearing the smost cruel yoke of the world has ever known. i In this lies the great peril of pan- Germanism.: If the allles.do. not de- stroy’ Germany, they must at least destroy PAN-Germany. before the world can be made safe for democ- cy. There is one way to do it—to slake the Germans’ thirst for conquest with the blood of their own soldiers. Revolution Will Help. But there are indications that with- in Pan-Germany itself lies the power of dissolution which may yet frustrate the kaiser’s plans. Not only from the soldiers of the allies will Germany meet opposition, but from the people they hope to enslave. ‘A-tremendously effective obstacle in their way lies in thé movement for a revolution in Austria and the estab- lishment of a Jugo-Slav nation by the numerous races now subject to Aus- trian rule. The most efective way to awaken the Germans from their dream, of course, 4s for the armies of the allies to smash the Boches so hard that they wil lose both the power and the in- clination to dream again of a ‘Mittel; Europa. And that’s what the United States Nis in the war for.

The Daily Telegraph sees: great pos- sibilites in the strategic situation, As- serting that the anxiety and stress of thes last few days are not diminishing it adds: “It'would appear that a second bat- tle of the Marne, of far greater in- tensity and weigMt than in 1914, is op- ening, but in totally different circum- ~taces. The difference, however, is ar much to the advantage of the allies as to the enemy.” : The Daily Express says: “Never since the outbreak of the war hee\the situation been:more: menacing or have the possibilities been graver; yet the country, remains ‘unperturbed, almost indifferent. This faith is not' based on reason.” Con{dqnca in, American, help is shown th the comment of'several news- papers. The Daily Mail enumerates the strong ‘points in favor of thé al- Hes; including “the rapid arrival’ of American troops, which will speedily restore the allies’ preponderance in numbers.” a Pity 4 ‘The Times “aleo. looke ta the-day when the. artival_of Americans will more) than reverse the present propor- tions. ie The American war power: is grow- ing fast,” it says, “the whole nation is behind the.army as it never ‘has heen behind any movement yet, and {t is.a nation of 100,000,000 free men who, have never known defeat. “Until, they join us in full force our, businéss is to hold on, When they so jolt? us, victory wilt be at our doors.” The Telegram finds “substantial en- couragement” in such facts as the Am- erican success at Cantigny, which it praises highly as an exhibition of a masterly method of fighting. It places reliance on the “formidable Amrican hosts now preparing to engage the enemy.” FOR FRAY CROWN PRINCE STRIKES WESTWARD 10 CUT OFF PARIS FROM THE NORTH With the French Army in France, June 1—At-: : tempts of the Germans to cross the river Marne have met with vigorous resistance and failed. The troops which’ made the effort retired from the river bank. London, June 1.—News of, the torpedoing of the American troop transport President Lincoln by a Ger- ’ man submarine while in the naval war zone yesterday reached London today. The ship was struck while re- turning home and sank in 30 minutes. Destroyets reached the scene in time to pick up the survivors. The vessel carried only her crew and a few convalescent sol- . diers ‘returning to the United States. No particulars as to casualties have been received. The Red Cross and the navy headquarters here have been notified, but it is not likely that any survivors - will be landed at ports in the United Kingdom. , The latest wireless advices say that the casualties were slight. (By ASSOCIATED PRESS) : s With the Frech Army in France, June 1.—American troops are reaching useful positions in the battle areas. These tioops dis- play the most ardent desire to share in the present, great bat- tle with their European comrades. ; Th enemy is increasing continually the number of troops’en- gaged in the battle. The German crown prince is now striking westward with all force, with the apparent ‘purpose of forcing the elimination of the Montdidier salient and ultimately pushing in below Amiens: to cut.off Paris from.the-north. So far his progress has been small. Between Soissons.and Chateau Thierry on the, Marne the haye been impetuously, counter attacking and at points has been forced ‘to give’ground. - HT Su This was notabiy the case immediately south of ‘Soissons. Fur- ther south the Germans had taken Chaudun. The Krench drove in-here, however,’and recaptured-the plaec. Ground also was won from ‘the Germans just below, near Vierzy. ei : Still: further south the German advance had progressed to a total-of something like four miles. Paris reports, however,. that new German attaekshere,-in-the region of Chouy arid Neuilly were broken’ up, the French maintaining their lines east of these towns. The Germans seemingly have made no attempts to cross the : Marne, and'they have not yet taken the important. railway junc- tion’ at Chateau Thierry. Elements of their advance, however, have spread out slightly further eastward along the worth’ bank of the river, ‘and. they are now occupying, this bank toy the dist- ance of approximately 12 miles in’ an airline between.

West of Soissons, too, the Germans have been repulsed with great, losses and for some 10 miles south of the town they have not advanced’ more A M E R | ¢ AN than several hundred yards in spite of assault after assault | against the French defense. Along the Ourcq the Germans gained PRISONERS ARE TREATED BADLY, Russian Prisoner Brings Word of Brutal Treatment to Moscow ROBBED OF THEIR SHOES “Moscow, Juune 1.—A Russian pris- oner who recently returned from Ger- many has made a statement at Mos- cow which is now available here, to the effect that he saw American pris- oners of war in a camp at Tuchel, West Prussia, and that they asked him to let it be known that they were be- ing treated brutally. The prisoners said they were hungry and penniless. When the Americans arrived at the camp, according to this account, the Germans removed all their clothes. They were particularly anxious to have the American’s shoes. They told the prisoners they should not wear ex- pensive clothing and shoes while work- ing and that their property would be taken care of until their return to America. The Russian said, however, that every one knows what that means. A consul, the Russian was ‘not. sure whether he was a Swiss or a Spaniard. | visited the camp, complaint was made | to him by the Americans and their clothers were returned, but as the con- sul seldom visited the-camp the Ger-| mans had the opportunity to practice! many injustices. { The Russian said that eight Ameri- cans who were captured several months ago reached the camp at mid- day and being very hungry, asked for, bread. They were told bread was di tributed only in the morning. They after being forced to stand in a square, where Germans were given an oppor: The huts in d-un- fit for habitation. Some of the Ameri- cans became ill. Two of them were near Oulchy-le-Chateau and threaten Chateau Thierry, an import- ant railway center on the Marne, 46 miles northeast of Paris. MAKE STAND ON MARNE In the center, where small enemy forces have advanced south- ward to the Marne, the French tactics in the past few days appar- ently have been to rtire until the line of the Marne, of heroic memory, could be reached. : ‘ Rheims still holds out, but little hope is entertained that it’s defenders will long withstand the German attacks. North of the city the Germans have advanced only a few miles since Monday. The line eastward through the Champaign to Verdun is not yet affected by the battle on the Aisne front. DISTANCE OF 25 MILES Since Monday the Germans have advanced southward from the Ailette across the Aisne and the Ourcq to an extreme depth of 25 miles and reached the Marne. Berlin claims the number of prisoners is now 45,000. Captures of war mAterial are said to include more than 400 guns and several thousand machine guns. Elsewhere on the western front, including the American sec- tors, there has been a decrease in activity. The Germans appar: ntly have given up for the moment their violent counter attacks against the new American positions at Cantigny. Aerial activity by British aviators is at a high pitch. Many tons of bombs have been dropped on military targets in the enemy area and 28 Ger- man airplanes and two balloons have been destroyed. MACEDOIAN FRONT ACTIVE. d : Greek troops in a brilliantly executed attack near Soiran, on the Macedonian front, have occupied enemy positions on a front of seven miles to a depth of more than one mile. More than 1,500 Bulgarian and German prisoners and much war material were taken. The Greek infantry was supported by French artillery. No further details, have come concerning the torpedoing of the American transport President Lincoln while returning to the United States from Europe. The attack was made by daylight and it is not believed there were many casualties. The President Lincoln was formerly a German liner and measured 18,000. tons. Hurling the weight of great numbers against the stubbornly resisting French defense north and south of Soissons the German crown prince has been unable to make progress on this vital sector , of the battle line from Noyon to Rheims. In the center German detachments have reached the Marne between Chateau Thierry and Dormans, while on the east the Franco-British line stands firm. é : BRITISH OFFICIAL STATEMENT | London, June 1—The German artillery was considerably more active this morning in the sectors of Villers-Bretonneaux, east of ieng,,and-H ne, north of A it is announced officially. ast of Villers-Breton-
