the official statement adds.
WASHINGTON IS MADE GLAD
Recent Developments In Russia Lead
to Encouragement Officially.
WASHINGTON, July 3. (Special.)
Russia's dramatic resumption of the
offensive on the eastern front In
Europe has encouraged high officials
here more than any other recent de
velopment in the war.
While endeavoring to retain a calm
view and a sense of the great obstacles
which Russia has had to overcome in
ternally and which oppose its armies
externally, the mere fact that Russian
armies are attacking almost all along
the line is hailed generally as a sign
of the times which cannot be ignored.
"The success of the present offensive,
It is believed, would prove the salva
tion of Russian democracy, would
unify the country behind the govern
ment as nothing else can and would
have tremendous moral and political
effect on Bulgaria, Austria and pos
sibly Germany. A defeat might re
sult In a proportionate disaster.
Information received here within
the last three weeks indicates that
Russia is prepared for the present
offensive better than ever before.
Little is known here of the military
situation on the German and Austrian
side, but military experts, who have
been following battle developments,
believe the Russians have picked out
the weak spot in the Austrian de
fenses and even if they do not succeed
. In scoring a tremendous victory, they
will impede, probably, if not break up
Austrian hope of an offensive against
Italy in the Trentino. On the other
hand, if the Russians get through the
Austrian lines another sensational
movement through Galicia, with a
probable readjustment of the whole
line on the east, may result.
In connection with the inspiring
news from Russia, the work of the
Root commission is the subject of
most favorable comment here. Praise
for every member of the commission
is being heard and the speeches of
Jlr. Root, John R. Aiott, James Duncan,
Admiral Glennon. General Scott and
others are reported to have had a
wonderful effort on the crowds they
have addressed throughout the coun
try. That political conditions in Austria
and Bulgaria, particularly, are far
from satisfactory from the point of
view of Germany, is also reported to
Washington. .The entry -of Greece on
the side of the allies and probability
of an ally drive into Macedonia before
the Summer is over, together with a
resumption of the offensive on the
Roumanian front, which is expected
shortly, is worrying the Bulgars.
Rumors -of a separate peace-have come
out of Bulgaria with some frequency,
lately, but nothing tangible has re
sulted. The drive of Russia, with the
failure of the submarines to starve out
the allies and the arrival of Ameri
can troops in France,- will make the
burden of ' explanation on the high
command in Germany a heavy one.
It is officially confirmed here that
intensive ' submarine warfare was re
sumed by Germany at the express re
quest of Von Hindenburg, supple
mented by Admiral von Tirpitz, who,
although retired from office, remains
the principal exponent of submarine
activity in Germany.

Army Reaches France Within Three
Months- After President Asks
Congress to Declare War.
Navy Active Earlier.
WASHINGTON, July 3. The Ameri
can Nation will celebrate a war-time
anniversary tomorrow with the con
sciousness of having written within the
short space of a few weeks a chapter
in bistory of the world.
Three months ago today President
Wilson asked Congress formally to de
clare a state of war with Germany
and to prepare the Nation, after years
of peace and military unpreparedness,
to use all Its resources to make the
world safe for democracy. Tomorrow
American troops, summoned from the
border and from foreign soil and car
ried overseas In defiance of the sub
marine menace, will march through the
streets of Paris ready to take their
places behind the firing lines on land,
while American warships In France
hold important sectors of the great
naval lines which command the seas.
Back of these major accomplishments
stand others less spectacular, but no
less notable or important in the monu
mental task of preparation.
10,000,000 Men Listed. .
Upward of 10,000,000 of men have
been registered under war legislation
for military service, and the work of
organizing a universal service army is
well under way.
Scores of American merchant vessels
have been armed and have taken their
toll of U-boats, and a colossal ship
building programme to crush the
U-boat blockade is far advanced.
More than $1,000,000,000 has been
loaned to the enemies of Germany to
relieve their economic needs, and a
$2,000,000,000 bond issue has been float
ed with a large over-subscription.
To take a firm grip on the economic
situation at home, a food administra
tion has been organized and export
control council created and the .Na
tion's enormous industrial resources
marshaled .for National service.
Besides the universal service law.
Congress has enacted an espionage act
under which the country has been
scoured for German agents and many
of them brought into custody; a war
budget totaling more than $2,000,000,
000 to meet the Initial cost of the war,
and many other measures.
Deitroyers In Action Early.
American destroyers were mobilized.
outfitted .and sent to the North Sea
within a few days after war was de
clared. Their number and the exact
duty they have assumed never has
been revealed, but that they have been
recognized as a formidable part of the
grand allied fleet was evidenced by the
designation recently of American Vice
Admiral Sims to command all the forces
in the important zone off Ireland.
Similarly in the South Atlantic, the
patrol of which was assumed by the
United States along with the patrol of
American shores. Admiral Caperton,
with a squadron of Pacific Coast cruis
ers, has assumed command. All the
French and British warships remaining
there are under his authority.
The first expeditionary force to
France included regulars brought from
,the Mexican border and Marines hastily
transported from Haiti and Santo Do
mingo. Xary Adds 641,000 Men.
In the three months the Navy has
been recruited up to 126,000 men from
less than 60,000, and training given to
thousands of gunners and crews for
hundreds of submarine chasers. The
Marine Corps has been recruited from
17,000 to nearly 30.000 and the Regular
Army from about 120,000 to 260. 000.
The National Guard has been increased
from less than 100,000 after men with
dependents had been weeded out, to
proDaoiy zou.uou.
The plans for the new Army to be
drawn by the selective draft have
progressed so far that examination
regulations have been prepared and
examination boards appointed and an
other month will see the personnel of
the first 500,000 active troops and 125
000 reservists selected and awaiting
mobilization. Sixteen military cities
to house them during training are
under construction.
50,000 Officer Tralnlnjr.
To provide officers, nearly 50,000
men have been selected, equipped and
sent to training camps where they
have been given instruction for six
weeks.
Special camps have been provided
for thousands of civilian doctors for
military service.
Organization of nine special engi
neer regiments, composed entirely of
experienced railroad men, is nearly
completed.
, Preparations are under way for an
aerial service of " a size never before
dreamed of. The first cost will be
$600,000,000. The aid of technical schools
has been invoked to help train the
necessary thousands of aviators.
In the Navy Department plans have
been drawn Tor a new type of swift.
powerfully armed submarine chaser,
and hundreds are under construction.
Additional destroyers also have been
ordered and hundreds of merchant craft
surveyed, armed and many taken into
the Government service.
Alllea Allowed to Recruit.
Among the war measures enacted is
a law permitting the allies to recruit
their nationals in this country and re
cruiting campaigns here by several of
the allied governments are under way.
A now bill about ready for submission
by the Administration would provide
for (lovernment insurance of every
American soldier and sailor.
Under a resolution of Congress. 96
German merchant vessels laid up in
American waters have been taken over
by the Government and most of them
repaired and made ready for service in
the merchant trade or as transports.
Agreement by railway, coal and other
interests to co-operate with the Gov
ernment in giving a maximum of serv
ice for a minimum of cost, the response
of the people in over-subscribing by
50 per cent the two billion dollar liber
ty loan and in more than supplying the
hundred million dollar humanity fund
asked for by the Red Cross and many
other developments convince officials
here that the Nation is awakening to
the emergency appeal and that the
achievements of the three months just
passed will be duplicated many times
over in the months to come.

Less wear and more power because Zerolene keeps its lubricating body at

AMERICA HOLDS KEY
Economy in "Food Will . Win
World War,
HOOVER MAKES APPEAL
Autocracy Arrogant In Belief
Democracy Tiot- . Capable or
Self-Sacrifice Necessary for
Efficient Flglitlnff.
WASHINGTON, July 3. An appeal
to the American public to help win the
war against Germany by organizing
to save food for supplying the allies
was made tonight by Herbert C.
Hoover. Quoting Kuropean statesmen,
saying the war will be won by the last
500,000 bushels of wheat, Mr. Hoover
says: .
"It is within our power to give this
last 600,000 bushels, but only If we
organize to produce, organise to save
and organize to supply alL"
Only by self-sacrifice in America can
the war be won, Mr. Hoover declares.
"Autocracy has been for years," he
said, "organizing its' resources to the
end that they have placed one out of
seven of their population on the fight
ing line and have so mobilized the
civilian population as to afford them
complete support. They have sup
pressed production of every luxury and
reduced every necessity. Their arro
gant confidence that they will become
masters of the world is based on the
beflef that the materialism, the selfish
ness and the Jealousy of Individual in
terests in democracy make it impos
sible for a democracy to organize such
a strength. They do not deny the
bravery of the men of democracy in
battle, but they comfort themselves in
the belief that 'we have not the self
sacrifice at home for their support.
"Our problem is not alone to mobil
ize our civilian population for the sup
port of our fighting men. but we also
have the responsibility of the support
of the fighting men of. our allies. AVe
must feed our allies that their people
may remain constant in the war. Lib
erty cannot be maintained on the
empty' stomachs tf the women and
children.
"Out- of our abundance, by eliminat
ing waste and extravagance. It is in
our power to hold the wolf from the
door of the world. Otir obligation is
greater than war itself humanity de
mands it of us.
"The food administration is a volun
teer organization to be endowed with
powers by the Government.
"There is no dictatorship in volun
teer effort. It is by voluntary mobili
zation that' we can answer autocracy
with democracy. It Is as great In ef
ficiency and greater in spirit."
