ESPERATE Germans Said to Have Suffered Enormous Casualties In - 6-Day Battle By WOOD (Tnitel PrMf Staff Correspoadeat.) WITH FRENCH ARMY IN' FIE I D, July 25.Oains made by the Teutons in six days of terrific fighting; and at a terrible loss of blood and steel were wiped out today when the French in one short stroke recaptured the lost territory along: the Chemine-Des-Dames. The defense of this highway parallels with brilliance the throwing back of the German waves at Verdun. Since Thursday morning the Crown Prince's attacks had been continuous and furious. His troops suffered enormous casualties as the price of foot by foot gains. Then these same French troops who had endured the continuous bombardment ana attack suddenly leaped forward and swept the Germans out of their costly gains. The reason for. the German attacks and the massacres of her troops apparently lies In the belief of the German staff that serious Austrian peace tendencies must be overcome. The Teutonic population must be cheered up by action on land In view of the submarine failure and enthusiasm raised for fresh war loans by some stroke of the army In addition the observations on Chemlne-Dea-Dames this theatre of -war and bo long as French holds them the German lines are menaced.

CABARET

SINGER IS li i! Another death is chalked up to Burnham. , Elsie Gorman the town's prettleat cabaret singer who was injured a fw nights ago In an auto accident In which the driver, a Chicago man. named Gainey. was instantly killed, died yesterday at St. Margaret's hospital In Hammond. As an aftermath of a "big night" Gainey invited the girl "to take a spin." Speeding along at the rate of 60 miles an hour, according to police, the auto turned turtle when Gainey attempted to catch his hat. His life was crushed out. The girl is said to have been one of the most.popular singers at the cabaret. She was 34 years old and lived at 4733 Prairie avenue. Chicago. Undertaker Burns removed the body to that address today. OR SHOOTING DE The shooting of Harvey Kruegr by John Drewani Saturday midnight when Krueger brought Anna Drewans home from a dance was caused by a quarrel between the two men, according to Attorney Joseph Conroy, who has been secured for the defense bf the young man who is charged with "assault and battery with intent to commit murder" and is out under 2,000 bail. "It was not a fight of the unwritten law kind." said the attorney. "It was just a common fight causedby a quarrel and Drewani shot in self-defense." "The girl had been told not to go away from home Saturday might by her mother. The mother told John to wait for his sister. When the party drove up to the door John told his sifter to go into the house, and ordered KAVrueger way. One word followed another and the fight ensued. Krueger got the best of Drewanz and he pulled a gun. intending as he says, to scare Krueger. However, in the tussle he pulled the trigger, shooting the young man," said the lawyer: "I think if the parents had known that the girl was with young iKrueger It would have been all right. Both the young man and the girl have good reputations. In no way should the accident cast any reflections upon the reputations of either," continued Conroy. Drewans shot Krueger in front of the Drewanz home at 172 Clark street. Krueger lives at 1143 Hoffman street. He was shot In the left groin but is improving satisfactorily at St. Margaret's hospital, according to today's report. POLICE 10 Efficient police work nabbed John Moyer alias John McCully near midnight last night after he had robbed the resi dence of E. C. Johnson, 250 Plummer avenue, of articles and money amounting to over J75. He was bound over to superior court under $2,000 bond this morning by Special Judge Floyd Murray in Hammond city court. Moyer entered the home by a basement window about 10 o'clock. The family was out. He ransacked the house taking a ring valued at $40; a lavalier, $10; razors, scissors, and other articles and took nearly $10 from the baby's bank. The thief was seen coming from between the two houses by Mr. Johnson. Upon Investigation the robbery was discovered and the police notified. Patrolman Pertell made the arrest at the cornerof Indiana and Calumet avenues. The man admitted that he had deserted from the Great Lakes naval training station a few days ago for a "drink of beer." he said. He admitted having the stuff In his possession but said it was given him by a fellow who said he had robbed the house. His story has proven a fabrication. PERMISSION NOT YET GRANTED (Mayor John D. Smalley had not received up to noon today official notification of his request exempting Hammond from the draft if Its quota Is filled by volunteers. The mayor wired Adjutant General Smith yesterday.

CHILDREN GIVE FLOWERS TO EMPEROR WHO WANTS PEACE

Emperor and Empress of Austria accepting flowers from children while returning front church. This is a new photograph of the Teutonic ruler who does not want war with the United States and who longs for peace with the whole world. Emperor Karl and Empress Zita are popular with the masses in AustriaHungary, partly because it is believed that they are out of sympathy with the ambitions of Kaiser Wilhelm. Their efforts to secure peace have been thwarted by the Prussian iunkers, whose will still governs the Teutonic empires.

NEW YORK, July 2S.The f ol lowing dispatch is printed today in the New York World: Washington, July 24. . Nine American officers who accompanied General Pershing ' to France made a tour along the western front and returned to Washington today, prepared to submit a report to the general staff. STTBPBXSED AT BCB2TES. Despite the fact these officers, or at least most of them, have studied every move of the war from a long distance and were suppoesd to have a fairly clear Idea of the situation, they announced at the War Department they had no conception of the situation until they had followed the line of trenches from Switzerland to the sea, OEEMAN U5S ZKPBX CUT ABXJ3.

SERIOUS SITUATION REALIZED BY WEBB MILLER. NETV YORK, July 25. Six hundred thousand "Sammies" is the largtst number the United- States can se:id abroad by September,- 1918. This was atated aeml-of flclally today along with the declaration that rot more than 100,000 men can be In Eu rope by next January. The first of the new national army will scarcely be in cantonment before October 1, at the present rate of camp construction. . It takes practically a year to turn a civilian into a good aotdier, hence -the aecond section of the new national army will not be called out before next summer. It is believsd. Lack of shipping facilities with which to move the troops across the Atlantic is the reason. It was settled today that rigid military law applies to drafted men as soon as they are notified 'that they are held for service. Unless plana are changed offices of local boards will be the ' rendezvous. Upon notification, men for the first levy will assemble at thla rendeavcua and start to cantonment: If many men summoned to the rendezvous fail to appear a squad of soldiers .will be sent to bring him. He will then be liable to penalty for ibaence without leave. In case the evasion continues he becomes a deserter. Drafted men will be sent to camp with men from their own state. HOBART PATENTS.
