I TO BREAK SECRET 1- GERMAN CHANNELS Washington Determined to Stop Messages to ^ Berlin. Washington. ? Secretary Lansing this afternoon hel<i a long conference I' with Ambassador Naon of Argentina. While this was progressing, Solicitor Woolsey of the Department and Baron Akerhiclm, the Swedish Charge ('.'Affaires, were closeted in the adjoining room. The conference pave rise to reports that Mr. Lansing had received instructions from President Wilson to m?ke a frank statement to each of th? diplomats concerning the attitude of this Government on the dis, closures which showed that Swedish diplomats had been sending messages for the German Government. Secretary Lansing disposed of these reports by announcing that the two conferences had no bearing upon the situation involving Sweden. After his conference with Mr. Naon Mr. Lansing said there was no foundation for reports that the United States was preparing to take drastic on which would cause the people of Sweden to suffer because of the activities of Government agents. "I observe that some of the newspapers continue to publish the view that we are going to punish Sweden for some of the acts of her officials," Mr. LansiPg said. "There is nothing to that. We have the friendliest feeling for the Swedish people." Officials today read with interest thft orlm iuuirtnc tnndo Vwr flio Qwo/liuli V?I v< UMiiii?n)ivi u; umviv. t/jf v?*v- ?y " v^iiijh Foreign Office. The statement is regraded as an eleventh hour attempt to justify the Government and inci dentally which have not yet been uu covered. But Sweden hereafter will not be in a position to use the cables of other belligerents and neutrals foi German purposes. In breaking the secret chains from Argentina to Berlin the Administration intends t*smash the entire system. Until Sweden gives this Government a promise that all such arrange ments in the interest of German? will be ended it is highly improbabl that the commission which is here aslc for licenses under the embargv/ill get much help from this Govern ment. Mr. Lansing's statement that thUnited States did not intend to pun i'T. the Swedish people was interpretnd to mean that as soon as the Swc dish officials agree to keep faith wit this Government the embargo will b raised to meet the immediate d mands of the people. o GIRLS!

But in dealing with questions of human nature, they have repeatedly made mistakes which have been the salvation of the Entente Allies. No mistake they have made wlil be so great in its consequences as that which drove the United States into the war."

There is no apparent reason for the decline in the price except the greed of the crushers, and I will do what I can to see that the people get a fair price for seed."

GERMAN DIVISION LASTBUT 8 DAYS Fighting Units Soon Exhausted in the Front Line L i rencnes. Grand Headquarters of the French Army in France.?Thirty-five German divisions have been engaged in the fighting in Flanders during the course of the six weeks from July 18 to August 29? eight of which are still in the front line. Nineteen of the German divisions have been withdrawn, end are now undergoing reformation in rest camps, the other eight being assigned to defend quiet sectors along the fighting fiont and elsewhere. The average duration of the occupation of front trenches by German divisions before their withdrawal b only eight days, in which time the casualties become so heavy that their retirement is compulsory. During a similar period of the Somme battle a year ago, 31 German divisions were engaged, 22 of which were withdrawn its a consequence of casualties after twelve days' fighting. During the Verdun fighting, which began on August 20, ten German divisions, including four reserve divisions, were withdrawn after fighting from a minimum of two days to a maximum ol four days. Eight of these divisions were regarded as exhausted. Six now divisions, which replaced them now occupy the line.

NKINS RUSSIANS START A BIG OFFENSIVE Army Makes Good Advances : Against Positions Gained by Enemy. London.?Russia starter! a vigorous y offensive on two sections of the Riga front today. The same armies which it had been feared were torn by the Korniloff revolt were those which the Russian official statement today declared had J made good advances against positions gained by the enemy in the recent German advance. No war news of the day gave great or satisfaction here tonight than this refutation of apprehension that Korniloff's rebellion had split the Russian lines open to the Germans. 1 The Petrograd statement told of ' establishment of advanced Russian posts in the village of Medug and of the capture of Kronberg. Both cities I are in the Riga sector not far from the coast. The war office asserted prisoners had been taken. Further to the east the city of Trine was occupied by the Russian drive. The attacking troops, according to the var office, moved on toward Romberg, occupying the villages of Kiefsen and Sisseral. On the western front, official statements today indicated the French had regained practically all of the ground in Cauricrcs wood (Verdun sector"! which the powerful German attack of Friday morning had gained for the enemy. Hitter fighitng of the hand to hand order, was marking the fighting there. Berlin claimed capture of a height near Chaume wood (Chemin des Dames.) Field Marshal Haig's reports for the day referred exclusively to fighting in the Belgian sector. He detailed repulse of a strong German attack around St. Julien.

"In the absence of legal authority to wear uniforms resembling the Unit ed States army uniform, uniforms worn by home guard organizations should be such in appearance that they can not be reasonably mistaken oven at a distance for any distinctivepart of the uniform of the United States army, navy or marine corps, and where a uniform is in itself distinctive, no distinctive mark for such uniform is refuired. "It should be added that the section of the law providing for the protection of the uniform is a penal statute and its construction therefore rests with the courts. No instructions that the War Department may give nor unything it may say can protect an offender from prosecution in the civil courts under the statute, nor can any advice that the War Department may give either aggravate or extenuate an offense.
