The session was marked by an extraordinary demon- stration of patriotism, which was a strong indication of the unanimity of all Frenchmen of every faith and shade of political belief, To-day's meeting was the first since the forma- Uon of the present coalition cabinet in France, Paul Deschanel, President of the “hamber, opened the session with an‘ sloquent speech which was apparent- ly intended to be a@ following of the example of the address of M.

Poincare laid especial emphasis on the “sacred political parties in Fran calling this one of the conditions of victory. He declared this union was more firmly established to-day than ever before. “If Germany ts counting on the pos- sibility of dividing France at the pres- ent time she is deceived to-day a: completely as she was @ year ag was one of the statements in M.

Despite this fire our quick- firers, which were mounted on the parapets of the trenches, mowed down the advancing line, while our artillery directed a wall of fire in the rear of the Germans, thus effectively prevent- ing any reinforcements coming to their support. “The advancing line was seen to waver, to break and then fall, Dur- ing the night the battle waa contia- ued by the aid of searchlights. ‘At daybreak the side of hill 697 Was seen to be strewn with bodies.

The attack was prepared by a bombard- ment with guns of heavy calibre which was very effective, “Despite the intense fire of the enemy our troops climbed out of their trenches at 6.80 o'clock in the eve- ning and half an hour later had at- tained the objectives assigned to them, penetrating even to the inte- Hor gf the village of Launons.

Ackerman. ‘Teatted Pree Staff Correspondent. (United Prom Staff Correapondent.) BRUSA, Asiatic Turkey, July 4 (by | BERLIN (via The Hague), Aug. 6 —With Warsaw's fall now only & matter of hours, official circles here to-day did nag conceal the belief that the world war may come to an end before winter, The Kaiser is expected to return to Berlin on Sunday. An important conference is to be held next week, by Government officials. It was reported to-day that the Ministry will discuss with the Emperor the moves Germany is to make immediately after the suc- cessful ending of the Warsaw cam- paign. The decision will be reached before the Reichstag reassembles on Aug. 17, and it promises to have a far-reaching effect on the outcome of the war. ‘The belief that Germany’s enemies, despite their public announcements of preparedness to fight to the o1 are in reality tiring of the war and about ready to talk peace, is based on the growing conviction in official circles here that the allies have about “reathed the end of their string” #0, far as offensive movements are con* cerned. The German viewpoint is: First—That Russia bas been dealt a blow that will nullity her offensive power for a long time to come, Second—That England and France realize their inability to push the Germans out of France and Belgtum, as evidenced by their inactivity while, Germany concentrates against the Slavs. Third—That never be forced. Fourth—That the Balkan situation is satisfactory, inasmuch as Bul+ garia, according to best available ine formation, has given assurance that | she will remain neutral until the end of the war, This spirit of optimism is shared equally by both Germany and Aus- tria. Constantinople advices repost the situation satisfactory from the Turkish standpoint.

Exactly how wany Turkish ships have been sent to the bottom by British submersibles probably is known only to the Turkish Ministry of Marine, The undersea craft have been particularly successful in strik- ing at Turkish transports, Bn route here from Constantinople I learned that aboard one of these oy recently were 600 Turks who bad just been discharged from Con- @antinople hospitals and were re- turning to the Gallipoli front. Only 160 were saved. The news was sup- pressed by the Turkish Government, but the disaster occurred in full view of @Bother transport laden with wounded soldiers, who made the facts is the Asia Minor city to which it was proposed to move the ‘Turkish capital in case Constantinople was threatened. I came here first on the Friday boat of the three times a week service from Constantinople across the Sea of Marmora. A few days previous the boat from Brusa to Constantinople had actually been stopped and boarded by officers from a British submarine within a few miles of Islam's capital. The British officers were looking for | Turkiah sol@iers. They found none, | but took off what food supplies there were aboard, paying for them in Eng¢- lish gold, and saluting courteously as they left the ship. Because of the fear inspired by this the Dardanelles can | been remedied. The Turks are now | able to produce enough shells im their own munition factories to supply their nedes, The situation at Athens ts being watched closely by German diplomats, but political circles have little fear that Greece will abandon her new- | trality. the Hfeboats swung out and with) hundreds of life proservers banging over the rail ready for instant uso Instead of heading directly across the Sea of Marmora, the usual course, we | crept along the coast for the entire distance, never getting more than 200! or 300 yards from shore. fon the following Monday, no more| submarines having been sighted, the captain took courage and we headed | directly across the little sea on the return to Consumtinople. Peasants | and provincial officials aboard the| boat did not share the captain's optimism, and we had scarcely left the last protecting point of land when a shout rang out from the bridge. he signal bells clanged, the boat| turned tail and fled for shore and| there was a wild scurry for life belts. | ‘The excitement lasted only a mo-! ment. ‘There were countermanding | orders from the bridge and we re- sumed our course. ‘Two miles oft| to the left a porpoise had leaped from | the water.
