London, July 14. A party of 50
Germans among the troops who at
tacked the Americans northwest of
Chateau Thierry on Thursday surren
dered under a flag of truce, reports
the correspondent of The Daily Mail,
with the American forces In France
All the German attacks failed and they
left behind them dead and wounde.
Describing the day's events, the corre
spondent says:
"The Germans are annoyed at losing
Belleau wood. All night and early
'this morning guns of almost every
calibre pounded the Americans at
Bouresches and Belelau wood.
"Local attacks, more or less feeble
in strength, followed, and the Ger
mans entered the streets of Boures
ches. Nevertheless the attacks failed
and the enemy left behind a number of
dead, several wounded and many pris
oners, 50 of whom surrenered under
a flag of truce; machine guns and
trench mortars.
"About 400 enemy cavalry were dis
covered south of Eterpilly (north of
Bouresches) yesterday, but few re
turned after the Americans had fired
into them.
"It is believed the Germans have
ordered fresh divisions to the Ameri
can sector near Busieares (west of
Belleau wood).
"The excellent relations between the
French and American commands 1s
shown by the fact that a regiment of
Zouazes and a division of French ar
tillery are now working under an
American divisional commander."

BLAME UNITED STATES
FOR COSTARICA S WAR
Zeitung Says Country Will
Have to Account to Ger
many For Damages
Amsterdam, June 14. The United
States is blamed for Costa Rica's dec
laration of war against eGrmany by
the Koelnische Volks Zeitung, which
says: v
"President Wilson will find that at
the final settlement the votes will not
be counted but weighed, and Costa
Rica wll have to account to us for all
material damages, even when full al
lowance Is made for its dependence
on the United States.
"With some more backbone Costa
Rica could have resisted America's
brutal pressure, as San Salvador has
done up to this time, although San
Salva4or is only one-third of Costa
Rica's size."
The Costa Rlcan congress declared
war on Germany on May 25, 1918. The
present Costa Rican government,
headed by President Tinoco, has never
been given official recognition by the
American government despite at
tempts to gain such recognition.
TO PUT VOLUNTEERS
ON GOOD SALARIES
Washington, June 14 A survey has
been undertaken by the government
looking to putting its dollar-a-year
volunteers on substantial salaries.
These men heretofore have accepted
nominal compensation under a law
forbidding the government to accept
services without pay.
Information on the several hundred
of these men now serving in the war
industries board and other war agen
cies, including their duties, connec
tions with private interests and the
value of their services has been gath
ered by the house ways and means
committee in response to urgent re
quests of a number of government offi
cials that the nominal pay system be
abolished in the intreests of efficiency
and of promoting direct responsibility
to the government.
Reports of department heads show,
it is said, that most dollar-a-year vol
uikteers heretofore hav ebeen paid
much higher aslaries than the gov
ernment could affard to give.
Bureau Men Exempt.
Washington, June 14 . Orders
against the induction into military
service of draft eligibles for duty with
general staff bureaus were issued by
the war department today. The or
der excepts only men who are "tech
nically qualified for such duty, physi
cally disqualified for general military
service and physically qualified for
special and limited military service."
Attack on Italian Lines.
Rome June 14 AustroHungarian
forces yesterday launched an attack
against the Italian lines on Cady Sum
mit and the Monticello ridge, the Ital
ian war office announced today. The
attack was broken by the Italians.
British Lost 34,171 Men.
London, June 14 . British casualties
reported in the week ending today to
talled 34,171 officers and men, of this
number 4,447 being killed.

Council field by Staff.
Tbkio, Friday, June 7 An Import
ant council attended by Prince Fush
imi. Field Marshals Yamagata and
Terauchl (the premier). Lieutenant
General Oshima, the war minister,
and others, was held in the general
staff office today. A Joint conference
of the field marshals and the admirals
has been summoned for June JLQ.
American Headquarters on the Brit
ish Front, Wednesday, June 12. Field
Marshal Sir Douglas Halg, commander-in-chief
of the British army in
France, today reviewed the American
troops on a wide plain in this area.
The Americans filed past with an
easy swinging step that bore out the
opinion of many British experts that
they are as fit physically as training
can make them. Their alignment, step
and carriage were excellent.
The review opened impressively
with a salute to the colors, while a
squadron from the Royal Flying Corps
flew over the field and did some acro
batic stunts. Field Marshal Haig
stopped several ' times to chat with
officers.
British officers present were im
pressed by the physical condition of
the men and by their high spirits. The
medical officers have had little to do
thus far in this zone. The health of
the men, whether quartered in billets
or camping in the open, has been far
above the average.
The eagerness of the Americans in
getting at their work has made a hit
with the British, who find them quite
ready as far as physical training yoes.
British officers believe that a short
period of study of the fine points, of
modern warfare will make the Ameri
cans ready in every respect.
