Hopes For Peace Proposals
From Allies Which Will

By J. W. T. Mason
(United .Press war expert)
New York July 13 Germany' an
ticipated ipeae offensive has been
clumsily beguu by Chancellor Hertling
Hig puipose is to throw the initiative

the war upon the allies, hoping thus
to bury .the principal allied demand
that German militarism be crushed be
fore a ipeace treaty can bo signed.
,V,on IlortHng interpret America's
resolve that the. Gomijm Inilitarists
be made iuipdtent as meaning America

The last hopo of the kaiser to con

TO AIDRUSSIANS
Lands More Troops On Mur
man Coast to Repel Ger
man Advance
London, July 13 The British gov
ern mcTi't'iis sending considerable forces
into the Murman region in Russia, as
the result of an appeal 'from the Mur
man local governments, it was learned
from an authori'ativo source today.
Comparatively small forces of Brit
ish, French and1 American were re
ported to have be-n guarding a huge
amount of valuable supplies on the
Murman coast originally intended for
the RufUian armies.
Genrany recently announced her in
tention of "driving the English from
the north Of Russia," Finland covets
tho Murman region. For some time the
Finns and Germans have been prepar
ing for a joint campaign against that
district.
.Recently the .population of the Mur
man region declared their indend
ence from Russia and aligned them
selves with tho allies. The bohthovik
government then threatened also to
proceed against the Murman region.
Thus facing the possibility of having
to fiijht the Germans, Finns and bob
shviki, the ISritiMi evidently are
greatly strengthening their forces in
northern Ruswia.
