LONDON, June 10. Referring to ex
aggerated German statements in
regard to the British casulties in the
battle of Messines Kidge, Reuter s cor
respondent at British headquarters in
France says that up to Friday night
the number of men of all ranks who
failed to respond to rollcall on the
British side was just about 10,000.
. Judging from past experience, about
60 per cent of these are men wounded
so slightly that they are able to walk
and of the remainder a number will
be able to rejoin their regiments later.
Today's official statement announces
further British gains at several points.
PARIS, June 10. The French made
an attack last night on the bank of
the M.oselle, near the eastern end of
the front. The War Office announces
that serious losses were inflicted on
the Germans. Violent artillery fight
ing occurred near Craonne and
Chevreux.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, via London, June 10. While
still further Gt,.-"n counter-attacks
may be expected frou. lme to time,
the battle of Messines Ridge may be
aid to be ended. It stood out as a
definite operation designed for certain
purposes, and it remains to be seen
whether other offensive battles have
been planned in this particular sector
of the Western front.
When the Germans chose what they
were pleased to term permanent lines
of defense in 1914, they occupied these
vantage points with a foreknowledge
of their strategic, tactical and obser
vation values as keen as that pos
sessed by any French military stu
dent. German Map Thorosgh.
The Germans had a thorough famil
iarity with and detailed maps of every
square rod of French territory over
which they proposed to fight, and
when flung back from the Marne had
already selected the lines upon which
their trench fortifications were to be
built.
It is natural that the German com
muniques and wireless press reports
should attempt to belittle the loss of
these positions, but the British who
have had to endure the handicap of
lying under their direct observation
and fire for so long a time, make no
attempt to disgui3e the satisfaction
with which they now look to the fu
ture and what it holds In store for the
Germans, who at last are virtually the
under dog.
Lines Lack Strength.
Of course, there remains the much-talked-of
Siegfried and Wotan lines,
with their various support systems of
trench defenses. The Siegfried line
represents that portion of the Hinden
burg line between Queant and St.
Quentin. The Hindenburg line be
tween Queant and Arras has virtually
been all taken by the British, so the
Germans now call their principal line
of defense north of Queant the Wotan
line, formerly known as the Drocourt
Queant switchline.
North of Drocourt this line runs to
Montigny, thence west to Annay and
connects with the trench systems
there. All these lines, however, lack
the natural advantages which the Ger
mans possessed when in command of
the ridges.
Steel Yields to Shells.
The enemy has endeavored to offset
this with artificial strength in the
elaborate use of steel and concrete for
dugouts, machine gun emplacements
and supports for the covered communi
cation trench. The victory of Messines
Ridge, however, shows that concrete
and steel strong points must yield to
the concentration of artillery fire which
the allies now are able to bring to bear
upon any given, point.
The allies felt that they have shown
that the German military power can
be crushed, the only question remaining
being the speed with which this can be
accomplished. This is where they say
America can help, with her team work
of men and material, and they are
looking forward to this help during
the late Autumn and in the Spring of
1918 and thus go confidently on.
i Victory to Be Gained by Blows.
It would seem that a victory must
bo gained by a series of powerful
blows, such as that delivered at Arras
on Easter Monday and at Messines last
Thursday. There is little hope that
modern warfare can ever get wholly
Into the open, and no one is deluded by
such thoughts, for the simple reason
that a retreating army can dig faster
than its opponents can advance.
This is true certainly of armies of
nearly equal numerical strength and
where such vast bodies of men and
guns have to be moved forward as in
the battle of present-day magnitude
Germany made her great sweep Into
France when her opponents had little
with which to stop her. Those condi
tions are changed now, and each battle
Is fought to gain certain definite posi
tions. When these are taken It remains
& matter for military council as to
whether the fighting shall proceed on
that front or whether new blows shall
be struck elsewhere. Minor and sub
sidiary operations, on account of this,
may be in progress at several points
at the same time.
Messines Battle Typical.
Last Thursday's battle may be taken
as typical of the new theory of war
fare. It was complete in Itself com
plete In action, complete in success.
General Plumer's army, which planned
and conducted It, has been congratu
lated by Field Marshal Haig.
The correspondent saw all the bat
tle- maps and heard a detailed exposi
tion by the army staff the day before
the battle of just what would be at
tempted and what it was hoped to ac
compllsh. Several new ideas were em
bodied, both as to fighting and as to
Inner control of the operation.
Not a single hitch occurred, and it
can be stated that the ultimate British
plans were attained at a minimum cost.
Not the least of these plans was to in
fllct great loss upon the enemy. If the
usual computations as to casualties
held good in this battle, the taking of
more than 7000 prisoners meant a tota
of killed or wounded four or five times
greater 30,000 or more.
Powder In Place for Year.
One of the most gratifying features
of this latest victory was the secre
of the vast mining operations, which
had been in progress for nearly two
years, some vast rftores of explosives
having been In a firing position for fully
12 months.
Any more counter attacks the Ger
mans may attempt will prove costly for
them, tor the British, in wiping ou
the Wytschaete salient, have shortened
their line by at least one-third in thi
sector and have, therefore, a still
greater concentration of possible artil
lery fire upon the new straight lin
than upon the wide, sweeping curve of
the old position.
Many interesting letters have been
captured in the recent fighting.
The following is taken from an un
posted letter written by a man of th
Fourth German Grenadier Regimen
from the trenches attacked on Thurs
day:
"Since April 29 I am in the trenches
near Ypres, where an offensive Is now
taking place. The gunfire has shot
everything to little bits; there is al
i most nothing more of the trenches to
I see. Up to now I have escaped with
my life, but we have had terrtbl
. Josses.

BERLIN, via London. June 10.
British troops which attacked last
night on the front south of Ypres were
repulsed, the War Office reports. Ger
man, troops penetrated the French posi
tions at several points, according to
the statement and returned with a con
siderable number of prisoners.
SCOUTS TO SELL BONDS
EACH BOY GETTING TEST SUBSCRIP
TIONS TO WIN MEDAL.
Ten Million Campaign Circulars Will Be
Distributed In Big Effort to
Help Float Loan.
NEW YORK, June 10. Twenty mil
lion calls will be paid at American
homes during the four days beginning
tomorrow by 238.000 boys, who, not old
enough to be called to the colors un
der the conscription act, will solicit
pepple to purchase bonds of the liberty
loan of 1917.
These youngsters, working under the
direction of 11,000 men. are members
of the Boy Scouts of America and their
campaign is their response to Presi
dent Wilson's appeal to them on May
19 to "lend their aid to the Secretary
of the Treasury in distributing appli
cations and obtaining popular subscrip
tions" to the loan.
The Scouts will go forth with more
than 10.000,000 campaign circulars,
which they will leave at as many
homes. Before Thursday night they
will have again visited the same homes,
this time to collect bond applications
in which they hope will be written
pledges which will add millions of dol-
ars to the subscriptions which have
already been made to the liberty loan.
These 10,000,000 circulars were pre
pared in the Government Printing Of-
ice the "largest Job of Job printing
ever handled" there, according to a
tatement issued from the Boy Scouts
of America National headquarters here.
Every Scout who obtains subscrip
tions at 10 or more different homes
will receive a war service emblem. The
movement represents the largest single
ffort ever undertaken by the organiza
tion.

CHICAGO, June 10. Profound silence
followed an address by Miss Jane
Addams on "Pacifism and Patriotism
in Time of War" before the current
events class of the First Congrega
tional Church at Evanston today.
Finally, Orrin N. Carter, Chief Justice
of the State Supreme Court and a mem
ber of the class. Jumped to his feet.
"I have been a lifelong friend of
Miss Addams," said Justice Carter; "I
have agreed with her on most of the
questions in the past "
"That sounds as if you were going
to break with me," interrupted Miss
Addams. laughing.
"I am going to break," the Justice
retorted. "I think anything that may
tend to cast doubt on the justice of
our cause in the present war is very
unfortunate. No pacifist measure. In
my opinion, should be taken until the
war is over."
"Glad You Came,'' Speaker Is Told.
"I am not sure that such a paper as
I have just read is altogether advis
able in a time like the present," Miss
Addams said, "but if there is any ques
tion on that score it should be referred
to the committee that invited me here
to speak."
"I am sure we all are glad to have
had Miss Addams here to speak on this
subject,", Interrupted Katherlne Waugh
McCulloch, chairman of the committee
which had invited Miss Addams to
speak and the chairman of the meeting;
"and we want to thank her for com
ing." Some one moved to adjourn and sev
eral seconded the .motion, ending the
incident and the meeting.
In the course of her address Miss
Addams said:
"Modern wars are not so much quar
rels between nations as they are rebel
lions against international codes. The
United States Is the logical home of
pacifism, for our population is essen
tially cosmopolitan. War Is a social
affair. The civilian suffers as much or
more than the Boldier.
America Shirks, Says Miss Addams.
"The feelings of German-born Amer
ican citizens should have been consid
ered before war was declared. Since
the European war began the United
States has had a feeling of moral
shirking. This is a spirit of fatalism
working against the spirit of material
ism. The United States owes too much
to all nations who have come here to
till her broad prairies to allow the
women and children of any nation to
starve. The United States should tell
her allies that she is not in this war
for the purpose of starving women and
children.
"We should have an international
commission, preferably at Athens or
somewhere in the Balkans, to .sit dur
ing the war and see that it is carried
on as humanely as possible, at least
so far as the civilian population is
concerned. The pacifist is making a
venture into a new international eth
ics. Oppostlon to the war is not neces
sarily cowardice."
many of our machines you can hardly
find a place for yourself.'
One observer, during the height of
the aerial activity, likened the British
squadron to clouds of mosquitoes.
Some of the most marvelous work was
done by artillery airplanes. One squad
ron of these alone, acting with several
batteries of British heavies, succeeded
In silencing 72 German batteries before
6 o'clock in the morning.
These planes also directed the firing
on the enemy's guns en route to the
front, some of the big weapons being
drawn by caterpillar tractors. Wher
ever a thousand or more troops were
observed forming for possible counter
attacks, the artillery planes directed
"shoots' upon them.
So complete was the British domina
tion of the air along, the front of at
tack that not a single one of the Brit
ish artillery observing airplanes was
lost during the week that the intensive
bombardment was going on.
During the battle British airnlanes
also attacked and silenced several
enemy machine gun positions. They
also made their usual attacks upon
German anti-aircraft batteries.
Lately British pilots have complained
at their inability to get any consider
able number of Germans to come up to
fight. The spirit of these youthful
daredevils of the air is described by a
urniiant Canadian riyer attached to
the British corps, who was told he
must take a day off yesterday after a
week-of steady flying. .
He asked permission of his com
mander to fly 30 miles or so down the
line to lunch with friends in one of
the Canadian divisions. This was read
ily granted, but Instead of flying down
along the British line, he crossed far
over behind the German lines and had
eight fights on the way and brought
down two German machines.
GERMANS URGE PEACE
RUSSIAN SOLDIERS ARE SENT MES
SAGES BY WIRELESS.
Naive Suggestion Made That Slavs Need
Not Quit Allies, but Merely Sus
pend Military Operations.
LONDON. June 10. It was after gen
eral Oragomirloff had curtly rejected
the peace proposals made to him by
German military emissaries about the
middle of May. according to a Reuter
dispatch from Petrograd, that the Ger
man commander-in-chief on the west
ern front sent wireless messages to all
Russian troops proposing an armistice
by which, as he naively suereested.
Russo-German military operations
could be suspended without Russian
defection from her allies.
The German commander declared In
his message that his country, with her
allies, was ready to meet the frequent
ly expressed desire of the Russian
soldiers' delegates and end the blood
shed by concluding a peace honorable
to both sides, thereby re-establishing
the rormer neighborly relations and
giving economic support for Russia.
The message invited Russia to send
plenipotentiaries. if she wished to
know the German conditions, but at
the same time to abstain from demand-
ng the publication of these conditions.
The radiogram closed by affirming
Germany's continued ability to fight on
all fronts and threatened that if the
central powers were forced to con
tinue the war with the consequent
vast military outlay their military ob-
ects inevitably would become more ex
tensive.

tacked while on the march and the dis
organized men left their teams and
automobiles on the roads while they
sought shelter in nearby ditches.
Airplanes attacked troops in the
support trenches and sent them scur
rying to the cover of their dugouts. One
pilot made so many of these attacks
that he finally ran out of ammunition,
but he delivered his last stroke by let
ting go his signal rockets at a platoon
of soldiers who, evidently mistaking
this for a particularly horrible new
style of war f rightfulness, fled in all
directions.
Retreating Germans Pelted.
German troops were fired upon in the
more distant back areas as they were
entraining for tho front. Many of the
enemy retreating from the British at
tack and hiding in shell holes were
seen by the low-flying airmen and pelt
ed with bullets.
One British pilot patrolled a road for
half an hour before he saw anything
to shoot at. Then a German military
automobile with three officers sittin;
in the back seat came along. The Brit
isher dived at them from a height of
300 feet, firing as they came. He flew
so low eventually that the wheels of
his undercarriage barely missed the
automobile, which swerved into a ditch
while going 40 miles an hour and
crashed into a free.
This same pilot later came across an
ctiv-e field battery and charged it.
scattering the gun crew and hitting a
number of them. Still farther along he
attacked a column of Germans march
ing In fours. The column broke when
he opened fire, scattering to both sides
of the road. At no time during hi
stay inside the German lines was this
pilot more than 500 feet from the
ground.
Airmen Inspire Infantry.
Large numbers of British machines
were on contact patrol work flying low
over the advancing lines of infantry,
constantly watching their movements,
their progress, any temporary reverse,
any attempt to form counter-attacks,
and all the while sending detailed re
ports back to corps and army head
quarters.
The Infantry commanders said it
gave their men great comfort and
great sense of protection to have their
planes flying so confidently Just above
them and exchanging signals with
them..
Of the 14 planes lost during the day
of the battle, a majority were these
contact machines. They had to fly
through a frightful storm of their own
as well as the enemys artillery fire,
and they succumbed to chance blows
from these exploding missiles.
Late, on the day of the battle, when
the enemy machines had finally arrived
from more distant airdromes, there was
some good hard fighting In the air,
some of It at close quarters with, col
lisions barely avoided.
Twenty enemy machines were ac
counted for In the fighting, some flop
ping about until they broke up in the
air, and others being driven down on
their noses in yellow buttercup fields
so far back of the fighting line that no
shell ha dever marred the symmetry of
the landscape.
One British pilot who returned to his
home station for new supplies of petrol
and ammunition declared it was the
most dangerous day's flying he ever
participated in.
