JDFFRF CERTAIN or vi ALLIED FORCES French General Expresses Views on War and Ex plains Why, in His Opinion, Germany Must Lose. GRANTS INTERVIEW FOR AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS Homage Paid to Manner in Which Allies Are Now Dis charging Obligation. Hy Henry Hood. Oeneral Headquarters of tho French Army. Aug. 5. (U. P.) Victory for the allies is now cer ain as Germanyi fighting now with her back to the wall, begins to reveal weaknesses, Gtneral Joffre. French commander in chief, told a group of American cor respondents he had received on the occasion of the second anniversary of tie war. The French commander wwild not venture an opinion as to when the war would end. There is no evidence of any imminent German collapse on the western front, he emphasized, but the tide of war lias turned for the allies with the successful stand 'made by the French at Verdun. The 'allies, he pointed out, are gaining strength on every front, even in the Balkans where the newly equipped Serbian army is ready to take the offensive. The correspondents were escorted to General Joffre' headquarters by Dep uty Franklin Bouillon, president of the allied inter-parllamentary union. Pleased to Meet Press Representatives, "It is a great pleasure for me to meet representatives of American pub lic opinion," said General Joffre, "be cause It provides an occasion for me to express my appreciation of what Americans hava done for .Franca in tho present crisis. France will issue from the conflict wlth-rrer traditional American friendship greatly strength ened because she is not only fighting for an ideal equally dear to both Americans and French, but fighting in a manner wofthy of our ancestry who fought with your ancestors In Amer ica for the attainment of this ideal. "Although our enemies today are fighting more bitterly than ever, yet with the present unity of action of the allies, the entire world sees ani understands clearly that destiny Is shaping the final victory for us. A characteristic feature of the present campaign is the unity of action on all fronts which is bringing ever in creasing pressure on the enemy on all Bides. Pays Homage to Allies. "It was French sacrifices early !n the war which enabled the allies to prepare for this unity of action, I am proud now to pay public homage to the manner in which our allies today are discharging their- obligations to Russia, profiting by the time we were able to give through our being flist prepared, has made an ever increasing effort, drawing ever more continual ly upon her inexhaustible resources of men and material until she was able to pour the armed masses upon the eastern front that have attained the recent glorious achievements. "At the same time England was en abled to demonstrate the full power of mobilization and the actual fight ing valor she is now fully displaying on the bomme. tne Italians had a more difficult problem and a more limited sphere of action, but their splendid accomplishments are well known. The newly organized Serbian army In the past week already hA displayed unbroken fighting wlfh. which it la ready to resume the cam paign. Enemies' Weakness Apparent, Although our enemies are still fighting desperately, yet weaknesses already have appeared. They are now drawing on their last reserves. This information we have from, all points. Equally important is the fact that tho forrrver German plan of quickly trans ferring reserves to the various fronts is no longer possible because of ihe steady united action on all fronts. "Victory Is now certain. It is not for me to say how long the struggle wiH last before the final break in the enemy's strength comes, but it Is ab solutely certain that it is coming. "The turning point In the war al ready has been reached. It was the five months of French resistance at Verdun which shattered the German plans and turned the scales definitely. Still, one must not Imagine that there ii any distinct weakening in the force still opposing us. Two-thirds of Army Pace French Front. "We have two-thirds of the entire German army, namely 122 divisions, facing us, while the remaining 50 di visions, coupled with the Austrian army, oppose the Russian front, but we are fully equal to the situation. "I prefer not to speak of the pres ent status of the French army, but would rather have you ascertain that for yourselves. You will find an army that we have built up during the two years of the hardest fighting, not only with its spirit and' morale absolutely unbroken, but greater both in num bers and material than when the war began, despite losses. Much blood has been shed and more will yet be shed, but you will find not Only the entire army but the entire nation determined to carry the war to a successful close for the reason that we are fighting not only for our personal Interests, but for the liberty of the entire world. We will not stop until that llberay is assured."

Ixmdon, Auir. S. (I. N. S.) Two tremendous battles are being fought in northern France tonight in Picardy and before Verdun. Throughout the day on both fields the allies have held the mastery. In a powerful two days' offensive, the Britteh have pressed back the Ger man lies north and west of Pozieres on a front of almost two miles for a distance of a quarter to a third of a mile. After three days of terrific fight ing northeast Of Verdun, the French, have not only halted the new German offensive but held all thft important ground gained by their counter strokes. They claim to hold the strong Thiau mont work, the greater part of the vil lage of Fleury and important strategic positions west of the Thlaumont Fluery road, all of which were in the hands of the Germans before the bat tle. Powerful Attacks Broken. Two powerful German attacks on the Vaux-Chapitre front, delivered during the afternoon were broken up by the French fire. The first did not even succeed In approacning the French trenches. A counter attack routed the Germans after they had gained some ground in the second assault. The losses of both sides in these two great battles have been enormous, according to news from the front. Thousands of bodies lie unburled. while grievously wounded men are being left to die in the shell swept ground, owing to the Impossibility of relief being sent. New Men Win Victory. The new British success was won by the gallant Australians, veterans of Gallipoli and Flanders, side by side with the "clerks'" of Kitchener's new army, who ai'e having their first baptism of fire and are emerging soldiers.

Frank Humphries, farmer of the institution. The warden said tonight that his action was taken because Humphries had failed to make good in his work. For some time tho warden has been dissatisfied with Humphries, asserting that he did not properly supervise tne convicts employed on the farm. Humphries, he asserted, was too easy going. The climax came Thursday, accord ing to the warden, when Humphries tent Richard Thomason, convict. alone at 6:30 a. m. to work at the fair grounds with a team. Humphries failed to pay any attention to Thom ason during the day, and went home in the evening without waiting for his itturn or ascertaining he was missing Thomason Was Missing. Prison guards found the team tied to a fence at the fair grounds and Thomason missing. He had stolen a coat and pair of trousers. Minto said he would try and get along without a farmer, rather than ccntinue Humphries. Humphries was appointed early this spring to succeed T. E. Cor nelius. His appointment was dic tated by Governor Withycombe, who objected to Cornelius' method of treatment of convicts. Humphries Wot Pleased. At a board of control meeting re cently the governor charged that As sistant Warden Sherwood and others were trying to hamper Humphries in his work. The governor has stood by Humphries in the factional strife waged at the prison and has approved his methods. Humphries declared tonight that he would take his dismissal up with the board of control. He said his dis missal was not Justified. Withycombe Will Xot Intercede. Governor Withycombe said fast last night that J. Frank Humphries, farmer at the penitentiary who waa dismissed yesterday by Warden Minto, had been guilty of gross negUsence in connec tion with the convict, Richard Thom ason, who escaped. "He was culpable, and I cannot in tercede for a man who has been guilty of such negligence," said the governor, "j am sorry, too, because Mr. Hum phries was a good farmer and had the confidence of the convicts." The governor said he did not consid er that Warden Minto's action had any connection with the factional strife which has been prevalent at the penitentiary. Governor Withycombe returned tn Portland at 100 last night from Chehalis.

Germans Admit Crossing. That the crossing of the Sercth was made from north to south, on the small sector at the river's head, and not from east to west, in the direction of Lcm berg, is shown by this afternoon's of ficial Berlin report, which Vspeaks of the "southern bank" of the river.
