Official Casualty List.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 Casualties
In the Army and Marine Corps
overseas to the number 1014
were made public today by the War
and Navy departments.
This was the largest day's total since
the toll of the Marne-Alsne victory be
. (ran to arrive last Monday, comparing
with- 3 yesterday and 716 the day
before.
Of the total today. 751 were soldiers
and 233 Marines. The number of killed
In action again was comparatively

Germans stood until the Americans
were upon them. Then It became a
hand-to-hand conflict, the only one of
the kind during the battle. In the
mud and in darkness where the com
batants were barely able to distin
guish each other they fought it out.
The Americans won.
The Americans or. the left failed to
reach their objectives until they had
called for a second barrage. Under its
cover they rallied and Ftruggled for
ward to the chosen positions.
The Germans, in attempting to re
pulse the attack, used guns of 77 and
105 caliber and mlnnenwerfers. They
had them on the higher ground, con
siderably to the rear of the battle line.
The American guns did excellent work,
not only in covering the advance, but
in breaking up formations, especially
one, Urge- assemblage of infantry.
LONDON, Aug. 7. Today's develop
ments tend to point to a temporary
shifting of tne great battle storm from
land to ocean. The belief Is expressed
in well-informed circles that Germany
will send its fleet out to fight.
Following the second defeat of the
Kaiser's armies on the Marne, German
morale has undoubtedly weakened. This
fact is to a certain extent confirmed
today by the report contained in a dis
patch to the Express from Amsterdam
of a revolt by German sailors at Wil
helmshaven in protest against contin
uation of the submarine war.
Several Arrests Reported.
It is said that propagandists among
the men incited sailors 'about to leave
on submarine cruises to attack their
officers and surrender their ships or
seek an opportunity to sink them and
get themselves Interned in neutral har
bors. . More than 50 submarines are
said to have disappeared.
Twenty-three of the leaders of the
revolt are reported to have been' ar
rested and sentencd to death.
The correspondent who sends the re
ports admits that the stories are con
flicting and the facts difficult to ascer
tain. The recent resignation of Admiral
von Holtzendorff as chief of the naval
staff is declared to have been connect
ed with the scandal.
In view, of all this, significance is
attached to the rumor that an order
issued by the new chief of the German
Admiralty staff. Admiral Scheer, is said
to express the wish of the fleet to at
tack the British naval forces.
Illusions Declared Shattered.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
The Hague today includes an editorial
by the Dusseldorf Nachtrichten which
says that nobody looking into the fu
ture can see an end to the war.
The Vorwaerts. of Berlin, says that
events at last have shattered the illu
sion created by inspired optimism that
Germany is invincible. It says:
"The German people at last realize
the colossal gravity of the situation.
Let us have courage to admit that as
long as the war is not ended it la not
won and can be lost.
ZURICH. Aug. 7. (Havas Agency.)
Albert Bain and Herr Holzendorff, di
rectors of the Hamburg-American
Steamship line, have resigned as mem
bers of the German economic council,
says a dispatch rfeceived here from
Hamburg.
ZURICH. Switzerland, Aug. 7. The
German hope of ending the war by a
military decision before the arrival of
the Americans -was- blasted - by the
recent allied offensive, the Socialist
newspaper, Arbeiter Zeitung, of Vienna,
points out in concluding a recent
article on the military situation.
Allied Victory Recognized.
"All the explanations cannot alter
the patent fact that in this double
offensive the gain of ground and con
sequently the only visible sign of sue
cess, is on the allied side," the newi
paper says.
While it is admitted that this -vic
tory does not yet possess any decisive
character, there is one result which
cannot be called in question the strong
moral effect produced by the three
German offensives against Amiens and
Paris have been completely destroyed.
"The allies today have a chief whose
name inspires confidence and whose
ability is in no way inferior to that
of Ludendorff or von i:naenDurg.
Furthermore, the only hope of the Ger
mans to end the war in a military way
before the Americans were in line has
disappeared as a result of this last
French offensive."
and indispensable producer of a large
part of the required revenue.
"The patriotic -producers of America
should be content if one-fifth of their
war profits are secured to them, espe
cially when we reflect that the men
who are fighting and dying in France
to save the liberties of those who stay
at home and make it possible for them
to continue In business are limited
by act of Congress to 39S per year for
their services and have to give their
blood in the bargain.
"Should we be more partial and ten
der to those who are protected in
safety at home than we are to those
who make the supreme sacrifices for
us on the field of battle?
"I sincerely trust also that amend
ments which experience has -shown to
be desirable, if net essential, to the
provisions affecting the determination
of excess profit taxes may be adopted."
Secretary McAdoo, who spent the day
inspecting Chicago railway facilities,
departed late tonight for Cincinnati,
from where he will return to Wash

"The rate of Interest will be 4 per
