Tatest effort of prince xam- pagne, the French took the offensive end succeeded in straightening out their line In the region of Mont Hawt and Mont Carnillet. General Petain’s men held to their gains despite four &trong attacks hurled against them and which they repulsed with heavy losses. Switching his attacking operations from the front north of the Aisne did 1ot help the crown prince, as his effort in Champagne west of Mont Carnillet and southeast of Tahure failed as did his recent heavy attacks north of the Chemin des Dames. General Petain responded to the German effort by attempting and suc- ceedinz in reducing salients in his iine to the east of the scene of the Teuton After checking the German crown t in attack. The French not only captured prisoners but beat off counter-attacks, showing that the Germans attached importance to the French gains. On the rest of the French front, and especially around the curve in the French line northeast of Soissons, vio- lent artillery engagements are in prog- yess. To the north the British and Germans have shown little infantry ac- tivity outside of patron encounters and raids. A great artillery battle is in progress on the front where the Russians made their sudden advance early this week. Near Zboroff and between Ziochoff and Brzezany, in Galicia, the Russian and German guns are hammering the op- posing lines, and near Smorgen, north of the Pripet marshes, the big guns, too, are active. Signs of a reawakening of activity on the front in Rumania are increasing and near Bialestchi German attempts to fraternize with the Russians were answered by the artillery. Northwest of Selo, on the Carso. an Italian sur- prise attack netted some gain of ground. Austrian counter-attacks were Teaten off successfully. Unoffi 1 reports say that Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German impe- rial chancelior, in his forthcoming speech before the reichstag will make such declarations \as will serve as a basis for peace negotiations. The chancellor's address was to have been delivered before the end of this week and its temporary postponement may have been caused by the sudden and unexpected offensive movement by the Russians in eastern Galicia CONSCRIPTION DRAWINGS EARLY NEXT WEEK to trict Silence Maintained as Method to--Be —FoHowed. ?ashington, July 6.—Selection day for the new national army is approach- ing rapidly as the local exemption boards in the various states complete | their orzanmization. Indicat: that the drawings will be held ne: week, b no official statement h been made as to the war depariment’s plans. Administration officials still in strict silence as to the method to 1: be followed. With the recent state- ment by Secretary Baker :hat the drawinzs wonid be held in Washing- ton, ever, coupled wth the stress Jaid upon the serial numbering of res- istration cards, the general outline of the plan is clearly indicated Tt is understood that it proposed to place a single jury wheel in *Vash- ing_and one complete set of numbers. When a number is taken from the wheel the man in each exemption dis- trict whose cards hears that sel number will be drafted. Thus each number is drawn, approximately 30,000 men will be drafted. or one in each exemption district. If 1,200,000 men are to be called before the exemp- 1ion boards in the first selection, which seems nighly probable. only forty numbers would need to be drawn There are numerous complications ich must arise, however, and method of solving them can be known | cnly when the administration makes known its plan in detail HARTFORD ADAMS EXPRESS DRIVERS OUT ON STRIKE Company Has Placed Embargo on All Non-Perishable Shipments.

LORD NORTHCLIFFE TELLS OF GERMAN SPY SYSTEM News Sent by Code Through Neutrn! Countries to Germany. Washington, July 6—Lord North- cliffe, head of the British missions in this country, today authorized publi-- cation of parts of a confidential speech on sples and censorship made to the National Press Club July 4. He de- scribed the work of spies in England and the floods of fatal information that pour over the cables through neu- tral countries to Germany, and spoke of the dangers of any except technical military and naval censorship of the press. Only on two occasions in the last month, Lord Northcliffe said, had he seen anything published in Ameri- can newspapers that might have been of value to the ememy. The address follows: “What does not yet seem to be un- derstcod here, and what we did not understand at the beginning of the war, is that the really deadly high ex- plosive news is not newspaper news, but the news sent out by spies is code to neutral countries for transmission to Germany. It is by means of check- ing back cables addressed from Enz- land to neutral countries that we have caught many of our spies.

Judging by my own colleagues in England, I believe the American newspapermen should be very largely trusted to do the censoring themselves, previded, of course, that General Pershing has a system such as has been adopted by Sir Douglas Halg, who, while allow- ing the utmost freedom of correspond- ents, sees that the despatches are read and examined by competent members of his staff.
