End-Brought Dye Stuffs,
Baltimore, July 10.---In a formal statement at noon to
day Captain Paul Koenig, commander of the giant sub
marine Deutschland, declared the vessel which arrived
in Baltimore today, will be followed soon by others. The
first of these, he said, will be the "Bremen."
He brought a valuable cargo of dyestuffs he said for
"our American friends."
The statement follows:
"The submarine Deutschland which I have the honor
to command is the first of several marines, built to the
order of the Deutschez Ozean Rhederei G. M. B. H.,
Bremen, which will, be followed by the Bremen shortly.
"The idea of the building of this submarine emanated
from Mr. Alfred Lohman, the president of the Bremen
chamber of commerce. He brought his idea in the fall of
last year, confidentially before a small circle of friends
and the idea was taken up

"We have brought a most valuable cargo of dyestuffs

Paris, July 10 French troops pressed
closer to the railway town of Peronne,
the immediate objective of their great
offensive, in furious fighting south of
the Sonime last night, capturing a Ger
man line of trenches In the region of
Barleux, southweBt of Peronne.
At the same time the French broke
out with an attack in the Champagne
region, capturing Herman trenches west
of Butte I.e Mesnil on 500 yard front'
after the three attacks.
The successful attack in the Cham
pagne region, where there has been lit
tle fighting in several weeks, apparent
ly was a diversion to prevent the Her
mans from shifting reiuforcements from
that front to the Homme battlo ground.
; The war office in announcing these
gains today, reported a lull on the
French front north of the Somme dur
ing last night. . . . . . .

guns to the eaat bank of the river.
Peronne at Mercy of French.
The historic, city of Peronne is now at
the mercy of French guns. French lines
are drawn so close that not only long
range pieces but small field guns are
placed within range of the Feronne rail
way station. From a rise or ground
near Barleux, French forces can look
down upon the town from across the
river and watch the movements of Ger
man troops.
In the fighting near Barleux last
night the French took l50 nnwounded
prisoners. In yesteruny's fighting at
IBinches 300 Germans were captured.
During the first eight days of the
great allied offensive, the French have
advanced on a front of 15 milometers
(about 10 miles) to a depth of from
three to five miles, it was stutcd semi
officially today. The greatest advance
was made along the south bank of the
Somme, where the capture of Biachez
advanced the irenca front nearly six
miles from its former position.
The war office today reported minor
activities in several other places on the
French front. In the Argonne a French
recounoisanve cleaned up a German
trench. North of Verdun the sectors
of Clinttancourt, Flcury and Lausee

Detroit, Mich., July 10. President '

spirit of militancy with a met- '
sage of peace. Speaking to 3,500 per- J
sons who packed Arcadia hall, hundreds .
of whom were delegates to the World ' '

said that lighting results in hatred .
that ruins opportunities for progress is '
trade and civilization. .
The same people who heard Roose- -
velt's "call to arms" two month agrV
today rocked the hall with cheers for .
peace.
We must respect the sovereignty of
Mexico," the president said at one
time. ,-..
I any this for the benefit of thos
who wish to butt in. Mexico feels ws
do not wish to help her but to possess
her. This is due to the manner in which. .
some have tried to exploit her products.
I will not help these men." -
The president Bounded a call to bust. ;
ness men of the world to respond to the '
new demands of salesmanship.
"Lift your eyes to the horizon of
business," he urged in closing, "and
with the thought that you stand for the. 1 . .
liberty of mankind, sell your goods anal a:j
try to convert the principles to the prin-
ciples of Amerioa." '
. The president was introduced immedi
ately upon his arrival at the halt. Three
thousand people packed the floor and .
boxes.
"These are days of incalculable -things,"
he began. "It Is impossible ,"
for any ono to predict the future ol
business." . .-

"One thing Is sure. Tho United "
States will play a new part Cf inarcased

"Business of this country has been
timid. Not until the last two or three ;
years has she provided herself with the
instrumentalities necessary. . She has .
produced a large number of provincial
thinkers men who did not think Amer
ica was big or strong enough to play sv ,
great part in the business of the world.
"Do you know that in the last few .
years we have become a creditor nation
instead of a debtor. Our business of the ,
future will be to finance the world and .
the men in charge of this must be able .
to handlo it with the proper spirit and
mind.
"Salesmanship must hereafter be
touched with an ultimate enmprehousion.
of business enterprise throughout the
globe. America will have to place her
intelligence ahead of her goods. Sales
manship must take on an international
atmosphere.
"You've got to sell what other peo

and your manufactured goods the

"If we can once get what some gen

sires of thoso to whom wo deliver them, i

"The long way to get together is to

Mexico. They want to overwhelm her
with force. That is the long way a
well as the wrong way.
"By this you establish hatred. Then
