VI HfS DEATH

Ambassador Sends First Word Since ,4 Slaying of German Represent tative At Moscaw. •5^,*

WASHT?vGTOMf July 9.—Ambassador Francis at Vologda, in a message dated July 7, bringing th« first word received from him by the state department since June 24, has confirmed the report of the assassination of Count Von Mirbacb. the. German amba&sadur at Moscow.

The killing occurred «t 3*p. m., July 4, and latest reports reaching the ambassador said fighting was progressing in the streets of Moscow. Wireless messages to the soviet government told of the capture of several prominent Jiolshevik oilicials by revolutionists and of the arrest of revolutionary leaders by Bolshevik forces.

Similar information reached the department from the Associated Tress representative at Vologda which said there was street fighting both at Moscow and Jaroslavd.

The message of both Ambassador i-'rancis and the Associated Press correspondent were sent to the American consulate at Copenhagen and there relayed. They brought relief to officials who had feared the Germans had succeeded in completely cutting off the ambassador from communication with outside world.

that the French drive in, taking valuable high ground on both sides of the highway.

Tanks 'Assist in Attack.

The attacking forces were assisted by tanks in their drive. Apparently, all the terrain gained has been maintained.

There has been considerable artillery fighting and raiding along tjhis front in the last few

days,

but this

morning's was the first infantry operation of note that has occurred there since the Germans June offensive was crushed on the Matz, largely through the effective counter attack delivered on the third day of the offensive along the line to the northwest of .Antheiul toward Montdidier,

The new advance will serve still further to protect the important railway junction of Estrees-St.-Denis, which lies seven miles southwest of Autfaeuil.

Developed Post Success.

Further to the southeast along the line the French continued to develop their success of yesterday, gaining additional ground to the Marne front east of the Retz forest by forcing the Germans back-further in the vicinity of the Chavign farm. On the British front there were only raiding operations. The Germans, however, aparently are contemplating a further effort to regain the positions recently taken by the Australians with American assistance in the Amiens area south of the SommeL The German guns last night were actively bombing the British lines in this region.

Important positions on a frontier of two

miles

to a depth of two-third* of a

mile and 350 prisoners were taken by the French in their latest effort in the region of Longpoint, northeast or Vil-lers-Cotterets. The sector on which the gain was made is just south of where the French last week ma^e Important local gains in the region of St. Pierre Aigle and northward for Btx miles toward the Aisne. No counter attacks have be-in made by the enemy, nor has he struck «back at the Australians in their new positions astride the Jjoinme.

For several weeks, the Germans have been drilling and instructing special attacking divisions behind the German lines, leaving the front positions to be guarded by mediocre troops. German perial activity has decreased 3n the past few days and it is probable thsir men also are making ready for the next onslaught. 'The German artillery fire has increased to above norma*, only on certain sectors.

Expect Swrfrrtt# Attaek.

It is not unlikely the enemy will depend on the element of surprise the impending blow as he did on March 21, and in the attack against the Chemin des Dames. While the Germans have been spreading reports of an attack against the British it is now known they have not constructed defensive works on the front between Sofssons and Rheims. The usual Interval between enemy offensive movements- has about expired.

Entente airmen are keeping tip an active bombardment of the area behind the German lines. British fliers again have invaded Germany, dropping bombs on Kaiserlautern. east of Metz, and on Luxemburg. In aerial fighting, British and French airmen have accounted for 25 German machines.

Active on Italian Front.9

Patrol activity and local operations are increasing in number on the Italian mountain front. On the lower Piave, the Austrians, it is estimated, last 20,000 men killed, wounded and prisoners in the actions last week In which they were driven back across the river, relieving somewhat the pressure against Venice.

In western Albania, French and Italian troops are withstanding strong counter attacks by the Austrians. All positions have been maintained on the heights of Bolnia and slight progress made elsewhere. Various reports of happenings in Russia in connection with the murder of German Ambassador Von Mirbach lack official confirmation. Germany, apparently, has not yet acted. An advance toward Moscow has not been imported, although the Germans have large forces of troops near Smolensk, 250 miles west of Moscow.

Airplanes Aid Victory.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, July 9.—While the main resistance to a great eneuly drive must necessarily come from the artillery and Infantry, it is not always realized how much the allied air forces contribute to the work of applying the brakes to the German military machine.

During the early stages of an offensive the whole character of air fighting changes. While maintaining reconnaissance and bombing behind the enemy's lines, a great number of machines are sent up with a roving commission to harass and impede the advance by causing the maximum of inconvenience. They attack cross roads and important junctions, they destroy dums and transport and they disperse convent rations of troops.

For this work some of the fastest and most mobile of fighting machines are employed, flown by pilots specially trained for obstructive fighting. In modern war an advance must go by time table. An hour's delay in taking an objective, the result of an unexpectedly obstinate resistance at a vital point, may tend'to dislocation of the whole movement.

There can be little doubt that the failure of the German high command to develop the initial advantages gained in the fighting this spring was due largely to the splendid work done by the entente airman.

WOOLLEN IS DIRECTOR.

WASHINGTON. July 9.—Evans Woollen, fuel administrator for Indiam, has been named director of the bureau of state organization on the United States fuel administration during the absence of Walter S. Hope, of New York, who has been granted a temporary leave of absence, an announcement today said.

owned by the imperial German government The arrest of Dr. Rumely, which caused a sensation in newspaper circles here, followed several weeks' of investigation, covering the financiu. transaction for the purchase of the Evening Mail.

The first suspicion that German money paid for the Mail, it is said, came through an examination by federal authorities of the books of Hugo Schmidt, the German fiscal agent this country.

Bought By German Money. The money, amounting to 51,361,000 used in this transaction, which Attor-ney-Gen. Lewis has carefully traced and checked up, was obtained in this country through the sale of German war loans. "The documents Hi the ease,1" Attor-ney-General iiewis states, "indicate that Rumely purchased the stock of the Mail and Express company from Henry L. Stoddard in June, 1915, the money paid to Rumely .being drawn from deposits of the German government at various banks in the City of New York, the accounts standing in the name of Bernstorff, the former ambassador of Germany at Washington, and of Dr. Heinrich Albert who was known, I believe as the commercial attache of the embassy. The money was drawn from the joint Accounts of Bernstorff and Albert."

Dr. Edward Alyosus Rumely was a manufacturer and educator before he purchased the Mail. As a manufacturer he did much to develop the mechanical tractor as a substitute for horse power in ploughing.

Inquiry Not Closed.

"WASHINGTON, July 9.—More than seven months' work, involving activities of the department of justice and secret service sis well as the efforts of New York state authorities, preceded the arrest of Dr. E, A. Rumely of the New York Mail Publishing: company. Assistant Attorney-General O'Bryan said today the inquiry was far from closed, and Intimated that further arrests were to be expected. Hp1 would not discuss charges which might be made in addition to that of perjury now landing against Dr. Rumely.

Mr. O'Bryan said the department was entirely satisfied that the Mail corporation was owned chiefly by the imperial German government, and that proceedings would follow under the federal statutes as far as the facts allowed.

American creditors of the Mail will receive first consideration in the administration of the property. After the bondholders are satisfied any remaining equity of the imperial German government in the property will be taken over according to law. Plans for maintaining the paper as a poing concern were being worked out when the arrest of Dr. Rumely, which alien property officials pavst was unexpected by them, wtenuyted
