With the U. 8. Army, July 10.
American storm troops in largo num.
bei-s launched a powerful offensive
against tho German lines toduy, co
oncrntinf; uitli tlie French north ol
Chateau Thierry. The battle linos ex
tend as far north as the Aisno river,
and for more than miles mi
Franco-Amcricans are pluySiur tlic
very devil with everything Ihut per
tains to the enemy.
Tho fighting is all on the nortl:
side of tho Maine river, and when
the Americans sturtodi "over the top'
tills morning tboy litorally swept tin
country clean, passing beyond neurl
all of tho objective points ill llicli
olfcnsive, including the l'nris-Solssoie
highway, which has been held by the
German up to this time. The cnein
was surprised and overwhelmed al.
along the line, and utterly unable tt
cope with American brawn and s(ec
at close quarter(jr-:
The United States' troops weit
brought up during the night, aloni
with French forces from crack units,
and then rested in chosen posit lom
until live o'clock this morning. Al
tho break of day both French and
American artillery opened up with n
teirlHc barrage lire. Under cover ol
this intense ruin of shells the Ameri
cans advanced to the llrst objectii'cs
in less than a half hour. Hero the
men were halted and immediately be
gun digging in for protection. While
engaged in this occupation, other
Americun units came up and passed
tho llrst line men, advancing to the
second objective behind a resumed
barrage fire. All of these objectives
were easily and quickly taken from
the enemy, numerous tanks partici
pating in the forwurd movement and
greatly aiding the troops, minimiz
ing tbo losses. The entire advance
was mode in remarkably quick time,
and in this respect was a source of
bewilderment to the Huns, who ap
parently were unable to realize that
the Americans were on a hot trail,
mi ving up like a wall of fire into the
very Jaws of the enemy and then
dashing in for a finish light, which
was waged tirelessly and relentlessly.
The United States infantry went into
tho nction without any previous artil
lery preparation, and as they went
over the top for Uie final struggle
with skulking Germans Oiero was a
rush, a clanking of steel, a deadly
rain of riflo and revolver shots at
close range and mingled with it all
h cries and shrieks of Germans as
they died like dogs beneath the feet
of tho lighting men oi me wraunu
world.
timnan nrtlllnrv In irrent Olianti-
tles was captured by the Yanks', while
a large number of prisoners fell into
their hands. In most instances the
Germans failed to put up any sort of
a decent fight, but many of them
i,-,r,..l for meiw from the men they
have been sneering at and ridiculing
for the past year. At some places in
tho lino German units put up a stub
born fight, but these, wore soon si
lenced at the point of the bayonet,
'..,1 ih nnwavcrlng line of Ameri
cans continued on their way to the
next objective.
i.nt this afternoon tho allied
troops have gotten close to the town
of Solssons, and the American guns
... now nble to reach the Gormnns
entrenched there. There is a spirit
ovnlintlnn and confidence in the
army, nnd reports from the battle
lino Indicate that the offensive Is go
ing far better than tho allies antici
pated.

OVER ENEMY LINES
Huns are now on the bock track. The
retreat has begun to take on the ap
pearance of the flight from the Piave
river in Italy a few weeks ago, when
the Austrlans were routed by the al
lied armies there. French forces
have this afternoon reached a point
from which they are menacing Ger
man railway audi supply center!
which carry munitions and food to
the army west of Hhelms.
In a short two hours timo the
Yonks took the towns of Torcy and
Glvry, and captured Glwy wood
from the enemy. A constant stream
of German prisoners Is now passing
back to the rear of the American
lines. Hastily organized German
counter attucks were broken up by
the victorious allies and the Huns
sent scurrying to cover again. In
one town captured by tho allies they
took 18 piece? of artillery.
. West of Ohaubun and southwest of
Solssons a German unit offered a
stubborn resistance, but evon this
was only a passing Incident for the
Americans, who immediately trained
their machine guns on the Huns,
mowed them down and then went on.
With tho arrival of German reserves
it Is expected there will be heavier
fighting, but their appearance has
been prepared for, and there Is no
anxiety over that score.
Early this afternoon the Yankees
passed the final known objective,
sweeping on behind the third bar
rage, and looking for more Huns to
deal with.
North of the Mnrno river French
troops have regained the whole of

LONGED FOUTHE WAR
AS GREAT HAPPINESS
NEW YORK, July 18. The pres
ent war Is a "war of revenge" long
desired by the pan-Germans, writes
Kurd vou Strantz, f a pun-German
leader In a book, entitled "Our Na
tional War Goal," published in Get'-:
many. . .
German newspapers received here
quote the author as saying: ' '
"in my boyhood days the German j
war of retaliation, as we must name;
this world war move correctly, was;
the the dream of my life, the realiza
tion of which I have never despaired
of, although I did douht that I
would live to see 1t In view of the1
unfortunate peace policy followed by,
the post-HIsmarckliin administration. 1
"13ut I have lived to enjoy that
happiness. By word and .letter I have
fought for this war of revenge which
finally is-to restore our old national
and political frontiers which we had
gradually lost in tho east and wesi
since 1552. Neither 1851 nor 1871
restored those frontiers.
"Bismarck started 4. our national
rise, but he did not complete it. His
discharge impeded the victory-promising
course, as his successor gave
half of German Africa senselessly
without any compensation to our new
arch-enemy, England. Therewith be
gan the descent which only this world
war could arrest and which I longed
for and foresaw when such thoughts
were unpopular."
The Berlin Vorwaerts says that the
entire enemy world will learn of
this confession with great satisfac
tion and adds: "If Herr von StrantK
had been paid for hTs hook by enemy
agents he would not have worked into
the hands of ' the enemy countries.
The book Is proof of the criminal ac
tivities or certain pan-German cir
cles which now openly, boast that
they had longed for this war as their
greatest happiness."

Portland, secretary of the state
Council of Defense, and Major John
m. Hibbard, of the Multnomah home
guards, addrebsed' a masa meeting
at the armory In this city last night.
Hon. O. V. Coshow presided over tho
meeting, stating Its purpose and in
troducing the speakers. ,
The first speaker of the evening
was Attorney Kollock, who made one
of the best speeches on the war sit
uation that has been heard in this
city. The Bpeaker defined tho pur
poBe of the Oregon Defense League,
stating-' that the aim of the league
Is fb take up all forms ot war work,
and give- both moral and financial
support to see the work successfully
carried out. The Council of Defense
has for Its aim the "winning of the
war" and will assist the government
In every way possible In carrying out
its war alniB, Attorney Kollock stat
ed that the greatest danger to the
allies at this time is German peace
propaganda. "Qernihny knows silo
Is whipped on the battle front," Bald
the speaker, "and will try now to
win out by diplomatic" means." Mr.
Kollock stated that It would not surprise-
hlin in the least If tho pope
representing tho imperial govern
ment at- Vienna, Bhould ask the na
tions of the world to lay down tholr
arms and quit this awful Woodshed,
and it 1b against such propaganda
thut the speaker Is warning Ameri
can citizens everywhere he speaks.
Mr, Kollock stated that Gormany at
the present time has control of far
more territory than she started out
to acquire at the beginning of tho
war, -and to get a peace that would
retain fof her possession of that tor-'
rltory would moan another war of
conquest for Germany, twenty years
hence that would be far worse than
the- present one. The - audience
cheered to tho echo as the Bpoakor
talked against any such peace. - - ,
Following Attorney Kollock, Ma
jor Hibbard made an address regard
ing the importance of tho militia
and home guards of the stute.
At the close of this meeting Cap
tain Russell addressed the boyB of
draft age In a special meeting, The
captain told the boys that the Ameri
can army Is above all a clonn army,
that diseased Boldlers are found to
have been so before entering the ser
vice, and advised above all things,
cleun living In civil life. Ho told the
boys they would be given clean uni
forms, clean linen and clean under
wear; that they would be compolled
to keep themselves clean from the
soles of their feet to the crownB of
their heads. Captain Russell de
clared that the American army Is
physically and morally clean-
cleaner, by far, than the average of
civilians. . . :
. This meeting was of vast import
ance for tho men who will be the sol
diers of Uncle Sam, and the advise
given by Captain Russell was most
excellent and well taken by those
who heard him. . :
