LONG WAR IS NOT DESIRED
Faith of Teuton Public Shaken In
U-Boat Reports by Misstate
ment About Sinking
of Justicia.
AMSTERDAM. July 87. Expressing
the view that the present battle be
tween the Aisne and Marne Rivers
must end in a preliminary decision,
the military critic of the Vosslsche
Zeitungr. of Berlin, says:
"It cannot be to our -interest to al-
low the war to drag; on into the years
1919 and 1920. as the British, - above
all, desire, because they hope by then
that American millions will have
reached Europe and that Americans by
force of numbers will be able to
achieve a break through.
"American danger is facing us, but
at the decisive moment an attack by
cur reserves will bring victory."
German Hopes Dashed.
Implicit belief In the veracity of Ger
man Admiralty reports received a rude
shaking in Germany when the German
public had to bo told that it was not
the American transport Leviathan, for
merly the German liner Vaterland. but
the White Star liner Justicia, which
was sunk last Saturday off the North
Coast of Ireland.
The Leviathan measures 22,000 gross
tons more than did the Justicia,.
The Lokal Anzeiger, of Berlin, deems
It necessary to declare that it would be
entirely wrong to jump at the conclu
sion that German U-boat commanders
habitually overestimate the tonnage
of vessels sunk.
The newspaper, which treats the of
ficial report as an exceptional and ex
cusable lapse, admits, however, that
German figures on sinkings generally
are based on "indications which are
fallible to the trained mariner's eye
as in present methods of .warfare It is,
in a majority of cases, impossible def
initely to establish a ship's identity."
Hop Still Expressed.
The Lokal Anzeiger hopes, however,
that the "Vaterland will be caught yet
sooner or later."
Other Berlin newspapers which al
ready had spoken of the United States
having to foot the bill for the de
struction of the Leviathan refrained
from comment pending the verbal re
port of the U-boat commander which
the German Admiralty says must be
awaited.
In an article quoted by the Berlin
Socialist newspaper Vorwaerta, Dr.
George Mlchaelis, former German Im
perial Chancellor, warns the German
nation that there will be. a time of
death after the war because of lack
of shipping.
"Let us not Indulge in the idea that
all distress will come to an end and
happiness begin if our enemies In
demnify us for our billions of war
debt," he added. "Everything depends
upon how we face the period of distress."

GROESBECK, Texas, July 27. Jim
Brown, a negro, was lynched today by
a crowd of about 200 men near Ben
Hur, a small place near Groesbeck, for
an alleged attempted attack on a
young woman at Ben Hur last night.
Before the sheriff arrived the negro
had been hanged to a tree and the
crowd dispersed. The young woman
was not seriously injured.
HUNS FORMING NEW LINE
(Continued From First Page.)
actly as It was when our counter
offensive began.
Foes Driven Toward Center.
"The general driving back of ths
German forces has been toward the
center of the salient. The falling back
has been only a line which remains ap
proximately perpendicular to their line
through rere-en-Tardenols. There
have been local attacks by the Ger
mans, particularly at Grisolles, against
the French and at Epleds against the
United States forces.
"Epleds was taken and re-taken by
our forces and the Germans four times,
by successive counter-attacks, but It
finally remained In American hands
and while it delayed their advance, it
only delayed It; we are going forward
steadily.
Allied Progress Difficult. .
"On the Marne, east of Dormans, ths
progress of the allied forces has been
difficult. The terrain there Is very
difficult. The hills are precipitous and
the country is very heavily wooded.
"The enemy's left flank southwest of
Bheims has been the scene of a very
dashing little advance by British re
lnforcements, who went forward 1H
miles on a lour-mlle front.
This advance is a marked source of
danger for the enemy, as, of course,
there is a chance of his getting1 his
troops farther south in a pocket, and
we already find that the French at
that point are beginning to advance.
Line Now 04 Miles Iong.
"The original line held by the allies
before this big movement began was
74 miles long. xne present line, on
which the Germans are falling back.
Is 64 miles long, une front has been
reduced 10 miles.
"The area won by the allies In this
counter-offensive more than equals
that won by the enemy in Flanders.
"Our lines now have reached within
3', miles of Fere-en-Tardenols,
which is a big German supply depot
right near there, which afforded, of
course, a means of getting supplies in
and out. That point has been contin
uously and heavily shelled.
Paris 49 . Miles Away.
"The nearest point of the German
line from Paris is now 49 miles. The
former distance was S8 miles; they
have been driven back 11 miles.
A total of 67 German divisions have
been identified in the Aisne-Marne
fighting, said an official dispatch to
day from France. This represents ap
proximately one-quarter of the total
number of German troops on the west'
era front and. shows the tremendous
concentration the enemy has been
forced to muster to meet General
Foch's counter-attack.
The dispatch also said that the
French captured 60 officers, 1800 men
four cannon, 40 trench mortars and
300 machine guns in ths resent local
operation north of Montdidier.
is within range of the medium-cali-bered
cannon.
A new German offensive against
some other section -of the line for the
purpose of relieving the pressure on
the Crown Prince's armies north of
the Marne is expected by some mili
tary experts, but it had not developed
as yet.
It appears to be the consensus of
opinion that the German attack, when
it comes, will be launched against the
British fronts in Picardy or Flanders.
PARIS, July 27. The Germans to
day retreated along the whole front
north of the Marne, the War Office
announces tonight.
French and allied troops, pressing
hard on the enemy rear-guards, have
reached the line of Bruyeres-Ville-
neuve - our - H ere, Uourmont, Jf assy-
Grigny,- Cuisles, La Neuville and
Chaumuzy.
Advance Extends 10 Miles.
The allies have advanced more than
15 kilometers (approximately ten
miles) northeast of Chateau Thierry.
The right bank of the Marne' has
been widely cleared of the enemy.
The text of the statement says:
"Under the continued pressure of
the French and allied troops for sev
eral days past, the Germans today re
treated along the whole front north
of the Marne.
Rear-Guard Actions Fought.
"Our troops pursuing closely the
enemy rear-guards, have reached the
general line of Bruyeres, Villeneuve-
Sur-Fere, Courmont, Passy-Griegny,
Cuisles, La Neuville aux Larris,
Chaumuzy.
"The right bank of the Marne has
been widely cleared. We have con
tinued our advance for more than
15 kilometers northeast of Chateau
Thierry.
"On the Champagne front the num
ber of prisoners taken in the region
south of Mont Sans Nome exceeds
300, including nine officers."
American troops have discovered at
Brecy, north of Chateau Thierry, em
placements of German super-cannon
which bombarded towns behind the
front and, perhaps, Paris.
Further advances were scored by
the French last night in the region
immediately to the north of the Marne
in the district where the Germans
have been clinging to the river.
On the Champagne front the French
carried out a local operation in the
region south of the mountain without
a name, as a result of which their lines
were advanced nearly two-thirds of a
mile on a front of approximately two
miles. The French took 200 prison
ers in this operation.
30,000 Prisoners Taken.
The number of German prisoners
captured by the allies since the be
ginning of their counter offensive is
placed at 30,000 by the Eavas Agency.
WITH THE AMERICAN ABUT ON
THE AINSE-MARNB FRONT. July 87.
(By the Associated Press.) The
French and Americans have continued
their rapid advance to the northeast.
and the forest of Fere was cleared of
the enemy this afternoon. The allied
forces are losing contact with the Ger
mans. Foe's Artillery Silent.
The progress made by the Franco
American troops on the Aisne-Marne
front is considered eminently satisfac
tory by the commanders, and the fail
ure of the Germans to employ artillery
extensively has tended to confirm the
belief that their heavy guns on the
greater part of the field have been
moved far back, perhaps to a position
which may mark a new line.
While steady pressure Is being main
tained on the arc forming the bottom
of the sack, the allies are determinedly
hammering the flanks where Von
Boehm and Von Eben have concentrated
their armies, returning blow for blow
in the hope that they can hold out
until the main body of the Germans
can be withdraw with a minimum loss.
There is a growing belief that ths
enemy will make an effort to stand on
the Ardre River. Fere-en-Tardenois
and even. Vllle-en-Tardenois, directly
east, are already under heavy fire from
the flanks and the south line, making
roads, as well as the temporary rail
roads virtually useless for transport
purposes. Those positions must be al
most untenable.
Hard Flht Is Made.
The Germans are doing their utmost
to hold the high ground .southeast of
Soissons for a continuation of their
line either along the Ardre or further
north along the Vesle.
The flanks of the French, British and
other armies are withstanding every
effort of the Germans, who appear to
be making a - most determined effort
south of Soissons. The line remains
much ths same as It has been for the
past two or three days, the only change
being slight advances. The battle line
now totals approximately 60 miles, al
though there is no actual fighting
along every mile of It, and is a more
broken one, made so by the character
of the enemy's withdrawal.
The effect has been the presentation
of a highly dangerous, spongy front,
into which any part of the advancing
allies might fall. Were it not for the
hunting down of the enemy and clean
ing out or points of obstruction, some
parts of the line could be far in ad
vance of where they are.
Americans Keep Advancing.
The advance was not great, but it
was accomplished in the face of hugs
numbers of machine guns. The Amer
icans advanced slightly their positions
almost in the center of the arc, while
on their right the French advanced to
and through Port-A-Blnson, one of the
few places where the Germans were
still clinging near the north bank of
the Marne.
Another forward movement was that
of the Americans in Fere Forest, where
tney were checked yesterday. The ae
tlon occurred In a big open place in
the forest, the Germans clinging to the
inner edge of the woods. Behind the
Americans was their heavy artillery.
wnicn sem sneus tar over the short
ened field of operations into the main
bodies of the German troops and also
harassed their transport.
Light Artillery Used.
The lighter artillery was used as a
barrage Into and across the fields, the
Germans not replying to any great ex
tent. When the Americans advanced into
the open lines of machine guns con
cealed in the woods, shell holes and
every possible point of cover, swept
them with a murderous fire. It was
insufficient, however, to do more than
slow up the advance, which continued
steadily and cautiously until a eroun
of houses in the center of the area had
been occupied. This Incident of the
advance was characteristic of the
greater part of the German resistance
along the fronts paralleling the river.
Sugar Smuggled Into Mexico.

Instead of using the sugar for this pur
