WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN PRANCE, July 22. The first division f the German guard In its furious attack on the eastern end of the Che min Des Dames, on the Alsne front, during Thursday night and Friday morning-, sained nothing: but a death trap In the shape of -a trench 500 or 600 yards long: on the northern side of the crest between Casemates and Califor ii ie plateau, above Craonne. The ob jective of the Germans, to obtain pos session of observation points, was de feated totally. Today hundreds of Ger man bodies lie on the ground, and the Germans who supposedly are holding the trench cannot advance nor retire. Cannonading; Is Intense. The cannonade today was most In tense and the French, who are in a position to observe all movements of the enemy, smothered with shells sev eral attempts of the Germans to as semble troops In this vicinity for Jurther operations. Numbers of prisoners b.'-ngln;r to the famous Guard regiments were taken. A model of the French- de fensive system had been constructed behind the Germ- T. lines and the troops destined for the attack were then instructed with its details before making assault. They met their mas ters in the shape of stolid and hard fighting regiments from Touraine, which held the position. Germans Gain at Ons Point, The only point along the whole line of attack from Craonne to Hurtebise at which the Germans succeeded in ob taining any advan.age was between the Casemates and Californie plateau, where the crest is narrow and. where it was impossible for the French to bring much artillery to bear, owing to the configuration of the ground. All through Thursday night and Fri day hand-to-hand fighting proceeded with grenades and bayonets, until the exhausted Germans were compelled to seek shelter in shell craters and shat tered trenches of the front line for merly held by the French. Enemy Under Constant Fire. There they cannot move or see, be ing under constant machine gun and artillery fire of dominating French batteries, and they still remain on the wrong side of the crest.

FOOD BILL MAY NOT LIVE fContlnued from First Page.) despite the fact that the Senate voted 60 to 26 in favor of putting this check on the President and his appointees, it teems probable that this will be offered upon the altar of peace -and will not appear in the bill that comes out of the conference committee. One of the things the House will have to trade for the elimination of the congressional control board will be the supremacy of Herbert G. Hoover in the food adminis tration. Hoover, himself is blamed for the up petting of the President's programme about food. He is such a positive in dividual; so impatient of interference and so certain of the perfection of his own plans that he antagonized the Sen ators from the beginning. MANY MEASURES CONSIDERED rood Control Bill Rivers and Pro hibition to Come Vp Soon. WASHINGTON, July 22. This week may see the long-contested Adminis tration food-control bill finally per fected In Congress and sent to Presi dent Wilson for his signature. Senate and House conferees on the measure, which passed the Senate yes terday after five weeks consideration, expect to go to work Tuesday. Their principal difficulties will be over the prohibition question and the Senate amendment for a board of food admin istration of three members instead of an individual administrator. Leaders tonight predict prompt action, how ever, which probably will be followed by a report on the first food bill, also In conference several weeks awaiting disposal of the control measure. The $640,000,000 aviation bill, passed by the Senate yesterday, is to go to the President tomorrow. Its perfection will break all speed records for big ap propriations. Tomorrow the Senate will take up the rivers and harbors appropriation bill, and the House, after a week's in action, will convene to receive confer ence reports of the railroad priority shipment bill and that increasing the Interstate Commerce Commission. During the week Senator Sheppard will try again to get up his resolution for a National prohibition amendment, and he has high hopes of mustering the necessary two-thirds vote. Legislation to amend the conscrip tion law so as to subject aliens to the draft probably will be pressed during the week and hearings will begin be fore a Senate subcommittee on the Administration trading - with - the enemy bill, recently passed by the House.

These pictures of free Russia's greatest living man. Just reached America.

It Is not known how his arm was injured and no report has come out of Russia about it. It is said, however, the world's greatest "Hero of the Hour" is in delicate health. VICTOR OFF TO FRONT New Spirit in Russian Army Sought by Kerensky. BREACH IS 8 MILES WIDE Premier Who, as Minister of War, Led Offensive, Receives Author ity Over Regiments at Front.' Ministerial Crisis Relaxes. LONDON, July 22. Premier Kerensky has again started for the front at the Instance of the central committee of soldiers and workmen's delegates, ac cording to a Reuter despatch from Pet rograd. Despatches from Galicia state that the breach in the Russian line is eight miles wide and 10 miles deep. The Bourse Gazette says that at a meeting of delegates from regiments at the front it was resolved that it had become imperative to turn over all au thority to III. Kerensky. Premier . Kerensky, as minister of war, personally led the Russian offen sive which began on July 1 and swept everything before it until some of the regiments became mutinous and re fused to obey orders. Fighting: Spirit Is Hope. It evidently is the hope of the cen tral committee that he may again in still the fighting spirit into the soldiers of Russia. PETROGRAD, July 22. An autho rized statement announces that a par tial solution of the ministerial crisis was reached at a ministerial council Sunday and confirms that the principal reason of Prince Lvoff's resignation from the Premiership was the Agrarian policy, on which an irreconcilable dif ference arose between the Premier and the Socialist Ministers, especially the Minister of Agriculture. The statement adds: Edict Causes Difference. "It was established that the diver gence of opinion as to the advisability of issuing a proclamation declaring Russia's republic arose principally from the fact that certain members of the Cabinet believed it necessary to pub lish immediately an edict proclaiming a republic, while the declaration now being drawn up on the subject only represents a preliminary measure with a view to the promulgation by the con stituent assembly of an act establish ing a republic and in no way infringes on the prerogatives of that assembly. Other Ministers Are Agreed. "All remaining Ministers are agreed on this subject and also on the inop portuneness of the present difficult moment, when our front is broken, for raising questions such as whether or not the Duma and the Council of State should be dissolved questions which are unimportant from the viewpoint of the government's activity." The statement confirms the minis terial changes already announced, ex cept that N. V. Nekrasoff has been appointed Minister without portfolio to act as Premier during the absence of M. Kerensky.

The pur suit of the others continued, all the machines climbing to a greater height as they fought. They attained an alti tude of 15,000 to IS, 000 feet and were soon lost to sight. Some excitement was caused in Lon don by the sounding of raid warnings. Persons who believed anti-aircraft guns were In action made a rush for cover. The tube stations were favorite places of refuge. Early morning services In the city churches proceeded without interruD tion.

SUBMARINE WAR ATTACKED Closing Session Marked With Tu multuous Scenes Credit of 15 Billion Marks VotedAdjourn ment Taken to September 2 6. COPENHAGEN, July 22. Berlin newspapers containing the speech of Imperial Chancellor Michaelis and the debate In the Reichstag have not reached Denmark for some reason, but arriving Hamburg papers give more extensive reports of the speeches in the Reichstag than were transmitted by the Wolff Agency. Philipp Scheldemann, leader of the majority Socialists, particularly at tacked the submarine warfare. Its adoption, he declared, was a triumph of unscrupulous demagogery with Count von Reventlow and the Deutches Tages Zeltung playing leading roles. The censorship had prevented effective op position to the warfare by the press. Scheldemann contradicted the prophecy made some wc;ks ago by Herr von Heydebrand, the Conservative leader, that the war would be won in two months through the submarine, and evoked merriment in the house by add ing: "Heydebrand, your submarine watch has run down." "As a weapon to end the war this Summer, the illusion of the submarine," the speaker added, "had broken down as was inevitable." Mlrhariia Will Be Put to Test. Frederick von Payer said the new Chancellor took the same position on the peace question as his predecessor and that the next two weeks would show what measure of determination Michaelis was ready to apply to give effect to the programme laid down in the Reichstag resolution. Herr Haase, the radical Socialist, made one of the longest speeches of the day He attacked the government's home and foreign policy and demanded immediate peace negotiations, atone ment for wrongs committed and the establishment of a Socialist republic His speech is dismissed with a para graph. Herr Haase demanded the re lease of Dr. Liebnecht, and cries from the floor that the prison authorities were starving Liebnecht caused a tu mult in the House. In the roll call the Conservatives and National Liberals voted solidly against the resolution of the majority. Five members of the Centre party also voted in the negative. Seizure of German Ships Denounced. The British seizure of German ships was denounced as a "brutal assault on defenceless merchantmen," and a "prof ligate act." by Dr. Kriege. director of the judicial department of the German Foreign Office, in replying to a ques tion in the Reichstag. Dr. Kriege ad ded that Germany had urged Holland to demand an apology for- this unheard of violation in Dutch waters and a precise assurance that it would not recur. Dr. Kriege said Germany was en titled to, and would expect, immediate restoration of the captured ships and compensation for the cargoes of those sunk; also for the wounded seamen and their dependents. Holland, lie eaid. had already expressed regret at the oc currence, and declared it would demand the fullets satisfaction. War Credit Voted Without Tnlk. The Reichstag voted, without dis cussion, the third reading of the bill providing for a war credit of 15,000, 000,000 marks. The minority against the measure was made up of Inde pendent Socialists. The Reichstag has adjourned until September 26.
