On the eve of the prenl Kriimo-Amcr-ienn offensive on the Munie unit the Frnneo-Britisli drive in I'icardv, the (lennnn press opened a violent euni pnijin njrninst Marshal Foch, nrc Hiiinnhly to console nml ninuse the German public while it awaited the "(,'reat victory" I.mlemWi'f had promised them. General Von Anlenne in a threc coluinn article in the licrlin Taeblatt , -called "General Foch in tile Judge ment of his Coantrynien and Contem poraries," hejjins by denviii!; that Foch is one of the "intellectual Itiunts" of military history, or even one of the dominating characters. He declares Knglish critics have declared Foch to lack initiative. Then he nserts that Foch is mt the head of a "coalition army," all the parts of which represent ;.vnarati interests, while the Finnish and Americans in particular are in "con stant rivalry." falls Kocli Failure. After ii Ions passage on tl.i. sup posed iisin-r up of the allied reserve army and an elaborate discussi-in of Koch's alleged lack of an organ ized staff, General Von Ardenne con eludes as follows: ' Finally, when one considers that General Foch tried to jrive effect to the so-called unity of command by liii.Ninjr up the separate contingents that he is now-reproached perhaps not entirely without reason with having too jrreatly favored the Ital ian front, and fresh regroupings are now in preparation and partly car ried out, one must admit that General Foch has not (piite corcrsponded to the ideal which the imagination of the French and the Italians had made of him. In any case, the li7-ycar-old leader has not trot a bed of roses." The Berlin Lokal Anzeier, in aa atiele headed, "More Bloodletting," says: Inspired Criticism "It is evident from the simultan eous and similar attacks of the French on the Aisnc that it was not of their own initiative Hint the Eiijt lish on the Lys enframed in partial attacks,, which were ton strone; for mere reconnaissances and too weak for an offensive, with even the slight est prospect of success. Doubtless both operations were the results of Koch's deliberations, nnd it would not be surprising if the fresh and bloody losses were considerably to increase the dissatisfaction about Foch's achievement which can no loi;ci be hushed up either in Paris or London. It is true thutFoch has the stroni; support of Clenienceau, who can hardly drop the fjeneralissimo with out exposing himself to the reproach of having insisted upon bis appoint ment." Hoth the articles uuoted are ob viously inspired by the German gen eral staff. LONDON, Auk. 1 li. (iovcrnmcnt backing Tor the Ilrltlsh dye Industry 1o aid In lighting that vjf the Ger mans after the war is promised. , Sir Albert Stanley, president of the board of trado, in an address recent ly snid the government Is prepared to make loans to dye manufacturers and grant them appropriations out right to meet the- Increased cost of Li u ild In ks and equipment. The government, he added, has decided that the importation of all dyes, except under ILense, should be prohibited for at least ten years. The development ot dye-making has been hampered by the demand on It for the supply of explosives. Germany's pre-war monopoly of the dye business has been of inestimable value to It for this purpose. The gov ernment has already granted a sub sidy to a limited company around which was to bo grouped the princi pal dye-making concerns, hut the ob ject has not yet been attained. Therefore, said Sir Albert, a change has hecome necesary if Crest Britain is to be Independent of tier many for dyes after the war. By co operation and government assistance this can be brought about. PRICE OF GERMAN MARRIAGES GOING UP AMSTKUDAM. Auir.

Aug. 10. It Is known that pau-tiernian expansion plans of the knfer call for the conquest of Afghanistan as a step toward India, but when the Germans reach that little nation and start thojr steam roller crushing process, they won't find it easy. Tho paramount factor In the lives of the natives, say recent advices from India, is their state of military preparedness. Out of political chaos a new Afghanistan was created l)y Abdur Rahman, father of the present Amir, or ruler, who fought his way to the throne and luynediatcly reor ganized the scattered army. - ' The Cermans helped him, it Is true buflf they figure pn occupying the nat'rai without a battle they will he mhtuken. Huhiuuu introduced a sys tem of compulsory military training, translating the British military man uals Into Persian and Pushtoo for his army. Ho hired Turkish officers to drill his men and built forts all over his kingdom, especially along Its frontiers. lie established arsenals, bought guns and munitions from the liritish built storehouses for emergency stor ing of foodstuffs, and built strategic roads over the most passable parts of his kingdom. His plan was to raise an army of 1,0(10,000 men. The present ruler has carried cn this work, until now Afghanistan is well fortified against Invasion of its soil by any nation. I IWUIS, Auk- Hi.

"ShyloeU," or usurious money lenders, have be come so rapacious in the Uriti-h army that a demand that they he suppress-, ed is being hoard. Tho'isands of imen drafted into the amy have sources of income inmrt from their army (my, and it is from these that tho 'Sbylocks'' come. Many of tliein were money lenders before thoy entered the armv. Although it is against the army reu-1 lutious for nou-commissioned officers to lend or to borrow from privates, there is scarcely a battalion in the army which observes .the rule. Men who have been accustomed to receiving lare salaries in private life often spend (heir few schillings of army pay the day after they receive it. This is the money lender's op portunity, lie has his "touts, ' and the price of nn introduction to him usually is a pint of beer at the can teen. ! The Shylocks rharge a varying rate of interest for their loans, hut they average about ,"jU per cent, and the loans must be paid wHhin a week. Thev make loans as high as 2.1 to the soldier who is "broke and get in return about .fli?..1!. And the money lenders take care not to incur any "bad debts." They make a friend of the sergeant or sergeant-major of the company and when the borrower gets in over his bead, an official word from this of ficer usually results in the distract ed private writing limine for money to pay the Sbylock. keepIue Way kin action At tho present lim;' tlie ;;cj:ml brood of codling i:io!V nr t'.c n their maximum a: ::r. r-f !a Ing.

AMSTKIIDAM, Aug. Hi. (By the Associated Press.) The moral de terioration of the (ierman nation in eonseipience of wartime trials is greatly troubling clear minded observ ers of the Fatherland. The Lutheran Synod of Merlin the other day called u special meeting to discuss bow to deal with the dissolute ways of the thousands of young munition workers, male nnd female, who habit nally squander their high wages in riotous living and immorality, h w as agreed that most of the youth of the country teemed lo be entirely beyond con trol. Much has already been written about the unsafety of the public streets, ami the general callous in difference lo the sufferings of oth ers. This seems to apply to the whole of (u'rmany; 'F.very man's hand seems to he against his neighbor,' the Cologne Gazette despairingly exclaims, and it dexotes a whole article to the intense if latent anger of the populace al the. extortions to winch it is subjected by ihe unscrupulous melhod of trades men, who, in their turn are made the victims of deficient government con trol and the usurious practices of producers. The Xewly Itich Offend i'opular discontent is' fanned by an nouncements of extravagant profit such as those made by a meat firm which supplies the army. It operated with a capital of a million marks and in one year netted a profit of 7'J2,(iH;( marks. Sarcastic comment abounds in re spect of the newly rich who flaunt their recently acquired wealth in the faces of (heir less-favored fellow citizens. The vulgarian who at a res taurant calls for "three limes a por I nil of whatever is mot expensive' Is u standing t pe. Another I eat ire is (he phenome nal tiomand lor real estate by war pritlitcer whbse aim is to become "ion! of. a ia.amr.'!

F.Yeii the Itbcnish Westphalian Ga zette, which gives publicity to this in teresting piece of news, expresses the fear that the lat few months pre ceding the harvest will he an exceed ingly trying lime, am) for this mi- son the war food department wishes to remain 111 constant touch with the minor clergy, so as to !i:r.c lac bene fit of their observations among the people. With reference to this, the socialist Vorwaerts prophetically exclaims. "after tin; war there will be only two camps war profitteers and out and out socialists." Eras Ms t m ft" mJ& U .
