NO DErA'LS GIVEN OUT
American Force* to Be Brigaded With
British Troops to Hasten Amerl
can Participation.
Washington. Transportation of
American troops to Prance already
Is proceeding at the accelerated rate
contemplated by the speeding up
measures taken after the battle of
Plcardy began. Acting -Secretary
Crowell made this statement but
would give no details.
Following the conferences between
Bocrefary Maker and allied officials,
orders were given under which a
British official statement was Issued
saying that American forces were to
be brigaded with British troops In
order to hasten American participa
tion In the War. Officials explained
that the process to be followed was
similar to that adopted In placing
American troops In the front linen
with the French for training.
It has been estimated that 30 days'
training of this character, with Amer
ican battalion units assigned with the
British organizations, will fit the
newcomers for active duty at the
front. All divisions now moved from
this side are composed of men who
havo had several months of prelimi
nary training and only final
Instruction to take their full share In
tho fighting line.
Tho training process will be quicker
with the British than with the French,
It Is believed, because the language
difficulty does not exist. American
units will find every Drltlsh veteran
an instructor, and there will be no
neod for Interpreters.
It was Indicated that the new plans
call for a more extensive training
scheme with the British army than
has been the case with General
Pershing's original force. There
probably will be no attempt to set up
a purely American force within the
British ranks, as has been done with
the French.
Tho Americans are to be withdrawn
when trained and turned over to Gen
eral Pershing as a part of his army.
Thoy will share fully with their Brit
ish comrades the_ battles on their
front and the belief here la that they
will not be withdrawn as long as
there Is pressing need for their serv
ice with the British lines.
BAYB GERMAN OPINION
UNDER EBTIMATED AMERICA
Washington.—Word that American
reinforcement* are moving to the sup
port of the allies in Plcardy ha* re
vived argument In Germany over tho
efficacy of the submarlno and drawn
from Captain Porslus .military critic
of The Berliner Tageblatt, the com
ment that .after being persuaded to
underestimate America, German opin
ion Is undergoing a change.
An official dispatch from Switzer
land. reviewing the latest discussion,
quotes Captain Perslus as follows:
"We were at first a good deal per
suaded to underestimate the partici
pation of America In the war. We
begin now to note a change of opin
ion. It is beyond a doubt that It
would be well to curb at the prosent
time these more or less fantastic va
garies of pnreons discussing the sub
marine war. We cannot for the mo
ment estimate when the United State*
will have ready the millions of men
which her population will permit her
tv> raise, hut It I* certain that America
will In the very near future aucceed
In amassing armies which will consti
tute a very valuable aid for our ene
mlea."
Captain Perslus expressed without
great conviction the hope that the
present offensive will attain a result
which will frustrate these plstMi.

Manay Deeds of Individual Bravery
and Heroism Have Developed
Among the American*.
Preceded by an Intense bombard
ment of high explosives and prison
gas shells picked troops from four
German companies hurled themselves
ag&luat the American positions on the
right bank of the Meuse north of St.
Mlhlel, but were completely repulsed
after terrific hand to hand fighting.
The Americans captured some pris
oners. The German losses already
counted are 34 dead and 10 wounded,
who were In the American trenches,
and 30 dead In No-Man's Land. Sev
eral of the wounded enemy were (aken
back by their comrades to the Ger
man positions.
After another night of terrific artil
lery fire and a bombardment with gas
shells, the Germans continued their
efforts to drive thrpugh to the third
line of the American positions near
Apremont forest northwest of Toul.
They made two attacks, both of which
failed. The enemy's casualties In the
four days' fighting areestlmated at be
tween 300 and 400. Of this number
more than 100 were killed.
Although the enemy wasted fully
a half of his specially trained shock
troop battalion of 800 men, lie was
unable to penetrate the American
lines, which remained unchanged. Of
the 36 prisoners taken by American
troops in the fighting northwest of
Toul, during which two Germah at
tacks In force were repulsed with
heavy casualties to the enemy, 12
have since died of their wounds. The
American troops also captured two
German machine guns besides a quan
tity of small arms, grenades and other
war material.
The prisoners taken belonged to
the twenty-fifth and sixty-fifth Land
wehr unitß, the sixteenth pioneers and
the Uhlans. The prisoners said they
had had no food for two days, as the
American artillery had prevented
their rations from being brought up
to their position. The captive Ger
mans quickly devoured the food given
them by our men.

did not lose consciousness and a few
hours later rallied and began to talk
about getting up. His family and

a decided turn for the worse.
- There was a second carebral hemor
rhage and the aenator fell into a state
of coma. Death came at 4:30 o'clock
but the physician made no announce

NO FALLING BACK.
READY 10 STRICK BUCK?
"The Safety of Ouh Home* and the
Freedom of Mankind" Now at
Btake Say* Field Marahal.
Oreat Britain'* armies stand at bay
In France and Flanders. After three
weeks o fa combat which has eclipsed
anything that, has raged during the
entire four years of warfare, Field
Marshal Halg has Issued a command
to his men to hold their ground at
whatever cost, and fight with the
knowledge that their blows are Btruck
"for the safety of their homes and
the freedom of mankind."
The end of the first phase of this
giant struggle now may be considered
as passed. "Bhere must be no re
tirement," is Halg's admonitoin which
adds that th>. British now are "fight
ing with their backs to the wall." "rtie
withdrawal In Picardy was officially
reported to'have been a part of the al
lied Btrategy, but the period for such
tactics seemingly has gone into his
tory.
The order Issued by the field mar
shal contains another sentence which
may be pregnant with significance.
"The French army is moving rapidly
and in great force to our support,"
he said, and this is the first official in
timation that the allies are ready to
strike back at the German invaders.
This blow may not necessarily fall in
Flanders, nor yet in Picardy, fcut may
be aimed at some part of the line
where Generalissimo Foch may be
lieve ho can cut through the German
front and compel the Teutons to re
lax their pressure against the British.
"EVERY POSITION MUBT BE
HELD TO THE LAST MAN"
I .
London. —Field Marshal Sir Douglas
Haig, in a special order of the day
address to "AH ranks of the British
army in France and Flanders," says:
"Every position must be held to
the last man. There must be no re
tirement. With our backs to the wall
and believing in the justice of our
cause, each one of us might fight on
to the end.
"The safety of our homos and the
freedom of mankind depend alike up
on the condlict of each one of us at
this critical moment."
Field Marshal Haig announced that
the French army "is moving rapidly
and in great force" to the support of
the British.
The special order says:
"Three weeks ago today, the enemy
began his terrific attacks against us
on a 50-mile front. His objects are
to separate us from theKrench, to take
the channel ports and to destroy the
British army.
"In spite of throwing, already,,one
hundred and six divisions into the bat
tie and enduring the most reckless
sacrifice of human life, he has yet
made little progress toward his goals.
"We owe this to the determined
fighting and self-sacrifice of our
troops. Words fail me to express tre
admiration which I feel for the splen
did resistance offered by all ranks of
our army under the most trying cir
cumstances.
"Many amongst us now are tired.
To those, I would say that victory will
belong to the side which holds out the
longest. The French army is moving
rapidly and in great force to our sup
port. There is no other course open
to us to fight it out.
'Every position must be held to
the last man- There must be no re
tirement. With our backs to the wall
and believing in the Justice of our
cause, each one of us must fight to
the end. The safety of our homes
and the freedom of mankind depend
alike upon the conduct of each one of
us at (his critical mnment."

COUNT GZERNIN
HAS RESIGNED
AUSTRIAN PREMIER GIVES UP
HIS OFFICE AT REQUEST
OF GERMANY.
THOOOHT POSITION OETIER
r
However, He Had Involved Emperor
Charles in Most Unpleasant Posi
tion—Czechs In RevolL '■ .
Coincident with the report of the
acceptance of tho resignation of ■
Count Czernln, the Austro-Hungarlau
premier, comes a report of a serious
outbreak of tho Czechs at Prague,
which for many months has-been re
ported to be seething with anti-pan-
Germanlam. Bohemians, or at least
.the Czechs minority in "that country,
object to the creation of a German
government there, but the Incident
may be more significant than has so
far appeared. The Slavic races of
Bohemia have long been standing out
against tho Germanization of their
country and the outbreak at. Prague
may be only another indication of the
deep-seated opposition to the war as
pirations of the central powers.
Washington.—News of the resigns
tion of-Count Czernln 'as Austro-Hun
garlan foreign minister lead to much
speculation among officials and diplo
mats hero as to the causes which
brought about the rather dramatic
exit of the Auctrian official at a mo
ment when, through his decided
chang of attitude toward war issues,
Involving his complete acceptance of
the extreme German views, It had
been supposed that he had greatly
strengthened his position.
This change was manifested soon
aftor the Brest-Litovsk peace confer
ences, -where Czernln had become
convinced that his moderate views re.
gardlng the basis of peace were un
acceptable to the dominant annexa
tion and forced indemnity party.
Tliereforo officials here are Inclined
to believe that It was not because the
count was obnoxious to Austria's great
ally that ha was forced out of office,
but rather that the explanation was
to be found In Internal Austro-Hun
garlan Issues.
It Is recognized that Czernln In
volved Emperor Charles In a most
unpleasant position by his speech try
ing to fasten upon France the re
sponsibility for Initiating peace pro
posals last year, thereby enabling the
French government to deliver a mas
ter stroke in diplomacy by producing
the famous letter of Charles to
Prince Sixtus. But quite aside from
the Sixtus letter, recent events in
Austria-Hungary have Indicated that
Count Czernln's tenure might be
short. In the first place there was the
frightful suffering of the population
and especially in Bohemia, from the
state of semi-starvation for which they
held the government responsible be
cause it would not make peace at
once. Then there waß the bitter dis
satisfaction of the Poles and Czechs
over the relinquishment of the rich
country of Cholm to the Ukraine as
one of the conditions of the Brest-
Litovsk peace. Finally there was the
concentrated hatred of the foreign
minister by the anti-German element*
of the Austrian confederation because
of his relapse into- extreme conserva
tism and his adoption of the pan-
German program in its entirety, with
all of Its reactionary policy.
It is understood Emperor Charles
himself still has liberal leanings and
is disposed to moderation so far as
war is concerned, it Is conceived that
he might easily be inclined to rid
himself of an official so unpopular
with a large part of the Austro-Hun
garian population. °
It has been known, too, for a long
time that the count has been a sick
man and that he has often shown
signs of distraction and has many
times been near the point of absolute
physical collapse as the result of hii
strenuous efforts to maintain control
of the widely discordant element* that
make up the dual empire.
