Petrograd, July 27. Russia restored
1 lie death penalty today and prepared
a policy of wholesale exocutionsto clear
the army of cowards.
' "Institution of capital punishment
is necessary,", declared Premier Keren
sky. "The government faces the alter
native of sacrificing the army to cow
ards and traitors. The provisional min
istry will assume full responsibility for
1 he step."
The rout of disloyal troops continued
today. Without hardly a blow struck in
defense, the Galiciau regiments which
fled from Tarnopol and Stanislau have
turned their backs on the enemy and
are hurrying further from tho front.
The way to Ceruovitz seemed open to
the fast pursuing Teutonic armies.
Much greater penetration of the Rus
sian line in this section will gravely en
danger the staunchly vigorous Russian
laud Rumanian troops south in the wood-'
ed Carpathians. There no cowards or
traitors have appeared and the troops,
are fiercely pressing the Germans.
The central executive of workmen s
and soldiers' delegates and the execu
tive committee of peasants' delegates
today issued a formal appeal to tho na
tion tor complete unity. It was address
ed to the councils of workmen, soldiers
and peasants all over Russia and to all
committees of the army and navy and
, declared tnat the traits of the revolu
tion were gravely endangered by the
present military downfall. Full support

End of Third Ye a r o f Wa r

London, July 27 (Passed by censor.)
This is not a cheerful message, but
cne which it is believed is necessary,
that America may know how English
men feel during the closing days of
the third year of the war.
It is a regrettable fact that never
since the retreat from Mons has the
gloom been thicker than it is today in
Loudon 'a streets, clubs, homes and even
some governmental offices.
The immediate cause, of course is
Russia's sudden reversal of form after
a .totally unexpected and spectacularly
successful offensive. But, secondly, the
suspicion is prevalent that there has
been no appreciable - reduction of the
submarine menace.
Thirdly, thero is disappointment over
America's slowness in entering whole- j
hcartedly into the war, as exemplified
by congressional obstruction of Presi-

Seventh Night Attack In Suc

Heavy Losses
FRENCH HAVE RETAKEN
ALL POSITIONS LOST

and Rumanians right
Valiantly
By Henry Wood.
(United Press staff correspondent.)
With the French Armies in the Field,
July. 27. Two hundred and fifty guns
wore mased over the two mile front- on
which the German crown prince last
night tried for the seventh successive
r.ight to wrest grourid from French lines
cu the Chemin Des Dames.
It was probably tho most concentrat
ed, violent assault of all the seven days'
fighting the French have withstood.
Eleven German sausage balloons were
sent aloft for artillery range work and
German guns massed only a few hun
dred feet apart on tho two mile front
poured an inferno of fire on the French
troops. The Germans after concentrat
ing their effective forces, attacked with
bitter desperation. The crown prince's
plan of strategy ting time was sudden
ly to transfer his attack from the east
of Hurtebise to the west of that town.
The two kilometer (two mile) con
centrated attack, however, won nothing
more from the French than the six days !
battle over tne live kilometer
front
(threo and one-tenth miles).
Between Chevroeaux and Hurtebise
today ther French had regained all posi
tions lost'duriag the "first few days
of the fighting. They held completely
the plateaus of Caroline and Cahforme
and the cascmatos. ,
Supporting the belief of tremendous
losses inflicted on the attacking troops,
it became known today that in Tues
day's attack alono the Prussian regi
ments lost half of their effectiveness
in a few hours.

Russian Situation Worst.
The hope of effective Russian mili

abandoned. But this is not the most
perious feature of the east. There the
prospect of a German victory means the
opening of vast resources of food and
war materials, rendering the North sea
blockade useless and giving the enemy
tn economic advantage, even if it is
granted that tho submarine menace can
be gradually subdued.

Washington, July 27. Ameri
ca's war bill for 1918 will
amount to $15,000,000,000, it
was officially announced at tho
treasury department today.
The estimates for this stag
gering sum, compiled by the dif
ferent government departments
were sent to congress-today by
Secretary McAdoo.
.. The great budget will include
approximately $12,000,000,000
for the different, departments.
Adding to this $"1,000,000,000
authorized for the allies, the
total funds involved in 1918
expenditures will reach $15,
000,000,000, it was stated.
Washington, July 27. Between $10,
000,000,000 , and $11,000,000,000 is the
ppproximate dizzy total the government
will need up to June 30, 1918.
With the war department leaking a
gross amount of $5,817,873,347, the navy
department will probably need between
1,000,000,000 and $2,000,000,000, while

Reshaping Revenue Bills.
With such tremendous needs ahead,
the senate finance committee met today
to re-shape its revenue bills. . Heavier
burdens than originally planned will be
imposed on the tax payers, while our
allies probably will need $2,000,000,000
in loans more.
Congress is controversial on the ques
tion of how much of the added expense
should be covered by present taxation
and how much by bonds or treasury
certificates. This will be debated heav
ily in the weeks ahead and prospects
are congress will find itself in a jam
on financial matters long after August.
The war department estimates indi
cate that in addition to much prepara
tion for foreign service, considerable
vail be done by way of additional na
tional protection such as construction of
more coast defense artillery.
The extent of the war lepartmcut's
plans may be gleaned from thes sti
inates: Armament of fortifications, $2,468,
613,000. Clothing and camp equipment, $357,
606,097. -
Pay, $715,628,440.
Subsistence, $329,672,218.
