Nevertheless, we notice that the German high command, for the time being;, remains on the de fensive-and attacks merely by local counterattacks. It seems logical to conclude that the nemy Is preparing- a new position north of the Somme and the Aisne and at present la simply trying; to delay the advance of the allied troops, so as to evacuate territory slowly enough to save war material nad supplies. The formation of General von Boehn's army In the Oise region, between the army groups of the two Crown Princes, seems symptomatic.

Dispatches from Russia today were of a somewhat disturbing nature to State Department officials. Vice-Consul Robert W. Imbrie. at Petrograd, reported in a delayed dis patch that members of the- Bolshevik government at the former Russian capital had issued a pronunciamehto declaring that a state of war existed between Russia and the United States. In view of the Bolshevik declaration Mr. Imbrie reported In his dispatch, which was dated August 2, that he had lowered the United States flag over the consulate and. following the recent action of Consul-General Poole at Mos cow, closed the consulate and turned the affairs of the United States to the Norwegian Consul. Imbrie to Stay. Americans in Petrograd, believed to number about 20, were warned to leave, Vice-Consul Imbrie' dispatch said, although he indicated that he would remain at his post until he had received instructions from the State Department- Persecution of the few Americans m Every Item argain Listed for Our 928th Friday Sale!

It mray also be supposed that this year there will be let-up In operations . for the Winter. Ludendorff should not ount upon Winter quarters to rest and re-form his effectives. Marshal Foch The terms of the treaty, which Is ex pected to diminish the sending of sup plies to Germany, were made public here today by Axel R. Nordvall, head of the special commission of the Swed ish government to the united btaies. It gives to the allies 400.000 tons of deadweight shipping and 2.000.009 tons of Swedish Iron ore. Sweden also agrees to license the ex and his great lieutenants. Petaln. Halglport tQ th a,He(i governments of wood and Pershing, will not let him escape. It would take very unfavorable atmos pheric conditions to hold them back. Allied TrMa Baeyaat. Besides, the allied soldiers are buoyed with a desire to finish the Job quickly. with the certainty of victory. We can, therefor, reckon that, following an en ergetic rearguard battle, Hindenburg will oblige Ludendorff to withdraw to a new Hindenburg line. Perhaps this retirement will go as far as the old line: perhaps it may be carried farther north. It is a matter of effectives that will force th Germans. I don't expect this retirement unless the allies carry out an audacious move that will go past the northern coal mining regions in the valley of the Meuse. Into the Brey region, for the Winter. The Germans still reckon they have a "guarantee" of Invaded and oc cupied districts for the final settlement of accounts. They will only recross the frontier and evacuate Belgium if forced by battle to do so. Great Retreat Prepared. We state these conjectures from purely aa Individual and personal point of view. In our estimation the first step in a great German retreat Is being - prepared. It can be precipitated sooner than we foresee either by a possible al lied move or by an Internal crisis la Germany. That Is why. for the time being, we must remain calm and col lected, and not be discouraged if we find success not going exactly aa dur ing July and early August. Let as take a clear view of the Im mense battle as a whole. On the west ern front are many sectors which may 'suddenly reawaken to fresh activity. The battle at the present moment is concentrated about Oise and In Picardy. Bat the northern and eastern extremi ties of Flanders and Lorraine may yet harbor "surprises." On the Oriental front from the south. In the Balkans to the Caspian Sea. and along the trans-Siberian route there may be some "surprises," too, which await the Germans. ; The allies should neglect nothing. All efforts should be concentrated on the defeat of Germany everywhere that she can be hit. Victory will be In the rapuitulation and the disarmament of Germans. She should not hold any more "guarantees" or any reserve forces of aera-resslveness for the future.

Exports te Foe Prohibited. Sweden, according to Mr. Nordvall, has given satisfactory guarantees that no goods imported to Sweden from any nations whose shipping the allies con trol will be exported to any of the cen tral powers. In exchange for these commodities. facilities and guarantees, the allies have agreed to ship to Sweden Lread cereals, coke and coal, mineral and edi. ble oils, sugar, rubber and rubber goods, cotton and cotton goods, bides, leather and tanning material, coffee. cocoa, tobacco, copper, rerro-auoys. tin. tlnplate, nitrate of soda, raw phos phates, sulphur, "and other goods and materials necesiary for Sweden's eco nomic life." - j Signing of the agreement, Mr. Nord val admitted, was a virti. I acceptance by Sweden of the allied blockade. Ne gotiations, he said, bad been in prog ress since May. 1917. The treaty was signed M,ay .29 last. Coalitions gerioas Im Swede a. Conditions In Sweden, the envoy stat ed, were very serioux In fact, no food stuffs of any nature were being shipped out of the country because of the do mestic scarcity. Previously, he said, Germany had purchased, virtually th entire Swedish output of Iron ore mines. Germany would continue to receive soma Iron ore from his country, Mr. Nordvall stat ed, but in greatly lessened quantities. Sweden's acceptance of any commod ity from allied government acts as an embargo on the same commodity pro cured in Sweden. Mr. Nordvall ex plained this would prevent Sweden from sending food to Finland, where, he remarked, "conditions are actually worse than they are In Belgium, and thousands are starving. Viewed In all its aspects, the allied view seemingly shows that General Koch now has the initiative entirely in his own hands and that he purposes to press his advantages for the little more than two months of good fighting weather that remain before the Winter season seta in.

Officials regard it as evident that further message's from the Consul have been held up by the BolBheviki. The reference in Consul imone s dis patch to a declaration of war against the United States by the Bolshevik authorities, however, was regarded most seriously by officials. Trotsky's Speech Recalled. It was suggested that the speech of Minister of War Trotzky at Moscow late In July, In which he declared that a state of war existed between Russia and Great Britain and France and their allies and which Foreign Minister Tchitcherin modified. In response to an inquiry by Consul-General Poole, to a state of defense against tne aiues. was the real basis lor tne latest de velopment in Petrograd.

Nowhere is the enemy being permitted to pause for breath. The armies of Halg, Mangin and Humbert are pressing their ad vantage with a strength that brooks no denial of their efforts. Thousands of prisoners, numerous guns and machine guns and large stores of war supplies have been added to the stocks already in allied hands. To the British alone in the last two days of fighting have come more than 5000 prisoners. Particularly heavy fighting occurred at Achiet-le-Grand. The town changed hands numerous times, the vantage be longing to the British at last accounts. Further Important penetrations of the enemy line had occurred and the Brit ish were operating well to the east of th Bapaame-Arras railway.
