"The rescription given the correspondent of the Berlin Tageblatt of the devastation of towns, villages and farms by the enemy is true, and the destruction German boasts of is all the Germans gained by three great offensives, which costs them hundreds thousands of killed, wounded and prisoners." Allies on Aisne Bank. Paris. August -Throughout last night the Allies continued to advance toward the Vesle, the French War Office announced today. East of Soissons the French have reached the Aisne between Soissons Venizel. and, statement reads: "During the night the French troops continued their advance toward the Vesle.

On the left the French reached the Aisne between Soissons and Venizel." evacuation of the line of the Vesle, if it has not been brought about before, seemingly is made compulsory by the French advance to the Aisne cast of French Soissons. advance Coupled north with of the Aisne yesterday to Pommieres, northwest of Soissons, it is danmenace to the line of the gerous Aisne, The French advance points directly toward the important heights at the western end of the Chemin-des-Dames, which are less than five miles north of Venizel. German Losses Heavy. Paris, August 3 (Havas Agency) French troops, which are pursuing the Germans between Rheims and Soissons, have lost touch at no point with the rearguards of the enemy. The losses of the Germans are declared to be heavy, according to the Petit Journal.

The newspapers of Paris, commenting upon the importance and significance of the battle, say that it its result surpasses considerably the highest hopes. The occupation of Soissons has made it certain that the Germans will be obliged to retire to the Aisne. as they did in September. 1914, the newspaper says, and they add that the fourth anniversary of the mobilization of the French Army will be coupled in the future with "this magnificent victory which the talents of the Allied generals and the valor of the Allied soldiers has today written upon the flags of the Entente tions." The victory, according to the Petit Parisien, will be a disenchantment to the German people. while the Gaulois says that General Ludendorff and the German Crown Prince must now renounce forever their vast conception of a strategic and dashing success.

WHAT THE FIGURES SHOW Why was there so little interest among Republicans over the selection of candidates for the two vacancies on the Supreme Court bench? The jobs are fourteen-year terms and the compensation is $17,500 a -certainly enough to tempt a host of able Republican lawyers. But it didn't and here is the answer: The enrollment figures en both men and women for the Second Judicial District, which comprises the five counties of Suffolk, Nassau, Queens, Kings and Richmond, show a plurality of 85,732 for the Democrats. There is a to votes, of 198,717 enrolled Republicans and 284,449 enrolled Democrats. That's why, when slate-making time came around, only three serious Republican candidacies developed; one of the ambitious-Senator Alvah W. Burlingame Jr.

-jumped out almost as soon as he had climbed in, and the other two. County Judge Norman S. Dike, who doesn't have to resign his present post to run, and Senator Alfred J. Gilchrist, were permitted to carry off the honors without serious opposition from any one. Apparently every other Republican lawyer with an ambition to wear the ermine looked over the enrollment tabulations first and decided that it was too much of a job to try to overcome the 85,732 votes handicap indicated on the enrollment figures.

Of course the district always has been rated as a Democratic district. The figures showed it about 60.000 Democratic. However, Republican candidates have many times heretofore been able to overcome this face lead and win by substantial pluralities. But the enrollment of the women has jumped the face lead of the Democrats by at least 25.000. The three Democratic counties in the district show a Democratic pluon the enrollment figures of 102.703.

Bierman was driving along Bedford avenue late last night when he was forced to turn into Lincoln road because of this big Army truck bearing down upon him. Bierman's car was struck and entirely demolished. He suffered a few severe cuts on the head. His wife sustained contusions and lacerations of the face and head. They were taken to the Kings County Hospital by Dr.

Jeffry. A small infant which was in Bierman's arms escaped without injury. Patrolmen O'Connor and Collins of the Snyder avenue station, after hard struggle, succeeded in arresting Hill and brought him before Magistrate Nash this morning on a double charge of attempted felonious assault and driving a car while intoxicated. In both cases he was found not guilty.

George, 011 C'ari: street. Mr. Daun, as she was known, was about 35 years old, rather handsome well dressed. She had fair hair and blue eyes and made herself a. vorite by her courtesy.

She had been feeling ill for several days and Dr. Fergus, had J. been McDonough attending of 72 her. Hicks The physician said that she had cardiac trouble and this morning was evident that she had been stricken with a suden heart seizure. The doctor was called in a hury, but before he could reach her she had died.

There is no suspicion of death from any but natural causes. In her room was found a letter, addressed to Mrs. Carroll of 520 East Eighty-eighth street, Manhattan. The police of the Poplar street station made an investigation and notified Mrs. Carroll, who said she knew the woman and would notify her husband of her death, Captured Germans Expect Americans to End War (By Associated Press.) With the American Army on the Ainse-Marne Front, Friday, August 2 -German soldiers generally welcome the news that more American soldiers are arriving in France, believing that the faster the Americans arrive the sooner there will be a decisive battle or a definite peace move, according to 2 sergeant of the Fourth Prussian Guards division who was captured by the Americans near Sergy.

The prisoner told the correspondent that the German soldiers were sick of the war, and also that the poorer classes in Germany had had sufficient war and they believe now that Germany is bound to lose. The capitalists, however, insist on continuing the war all costs. "German officers," the prisoner said, "informed us months ago that the Americans were taking few prisoners and that those taken were treated inhumanly, They kept warning us constantly that death was preferable to being captured by the Americans, but not all the German soldiers believed that despite the high regard in which officers are supposed to be held. common talk one of them "Among the German, soldiers it was had a good chance to be taken prisoner in the hands of the Americans he would do so, providing he was reasonably certain that he could pretend he was not altogether to blame. So, CAMP GORDON MEN IN ACTION; THREE DEAD; 3 WOUNDED Continued From Page 1.

Company 116th Infantry, at Camp Meade, Md. Corporal John Russo. Corporal John Russo, 19 years old, of 1670 Bath avenue, was killed in action on July 15. His sister, Mrs. Jennie Butti, thought he was a member of Company Fourth Infantry, but the telegram received yesterday from the War Department stated that he was in the Field Artillery.

Corporal Russo enlisted two years ago when he was only 17 years old. He sailed from Newport News, for France and was among the first of the American soldiers sent "over there." In his last letter, received about three months ago, he said he was in good health. Corporal Russo was born in Italy and received his education in the Manhattan public schools. Private John Arcomano. Private John Arcomano was killed in action on July 15, according to a telegram received by his mother, Mrs.

Anna Arcomano, of 215 Pearl street, from the War Department last night. Private Arcomano was 27 years old. He was drafted last October, and after receiving part of his training at Camp Upton was sent to France last January with Company A of the Fourth Infantry. In his last letter, which was received about a month ago, he said that he was in excellent spirits but did not mention that he was on the fighting front. 'He leaves besides his mother four sisters and four brothers.

Private Vincent J. Ferro, Private Vincent J. Ferro, 23 years old, son of Frank and Mary Ferro, of 311 Jefferson street, was severerly wounded in action on July 16. He is member of Company 327th Infantry, which sailed for France late in April. This is the first casualty to be received from that regiment and indicates that the 82d or Camp Gordon division has been in action.

Private Ferro was born in Italy on February 4, 1895. When he went to Camp Upton his folks lived at 141 George street, but they have since moved to the Jefferson street address. From Camp Upton he was transferred to Camp Gordon. He has in addition to his parents, a brother and two sisters. Private Ferro has written home frequently and always declared that he liked Army life.

Private James Bennett. Private James Bennett, who was among those who were reported severely wounded on today's Army casualty list, lived at 325 Gold street with a Mrs. Hicks. He was a member Fifteenth Infantry, a colored regiment. The telegram which was received last night from the War Department said that he he he he had been wounded on May 26.

Private Frank Jenna. There is evidently some mistake in the announcement that Private Frank Jenna of 122 George street has been severely wounded. Jenna went to Camp Upton only a week ago Thursday, and a letter was received from him two days ago. He is married. His wife is Mrs.

Rosie Frances Jenna. His father, John Jenna, lives at 23 Hamburg avenue. PLAGUE HALTS MINING Lima, Peru, August 3-As the 1 resuit of a mysterious pneumonia plague which is sweeping big copper mining camps the plants have been virtually paralyzed for the past ten days. It is estimated that the epidemic will cause a decrease of 000 pounds in the production of Peruvian copper during July and August. generally among the Germans who have been in the war four years, as I have been, many are eagerly watching for an opportunity to be captured." The sergeant said the officers never told them the truth when there was to be a German offensive.

The officers got the soldiers nerved for a fight by informing them the Allies were about to launch an attack and then at the proper time they would order their own men forward. There is no danger of a revolution among the German soldiers, he continued, so long as they are well fed. War weariness in Germany, the sergeant declared, was increasing as the war continued. He added that if the Americans had had four years of war they would be war weary, too. Among the troops there was not much gossip heard about the Emperor, most of the talk concerning Field Marshal von Hindenburg, who is looked upon as the world's greatest warrior.

The sergeant is 30 years old and has a wife and four children in a Berlin. He said he had been engaged in the Marne fighting three days when he was wounded in the leg by an American bullet. He dropped to the ground when he saw two Americans rushing toward him. Soon afterward he was carried to the rear on a stretcher. The sergeant's cot is among fifty containing American wounded.

One big wounded American made such a fuss in attempts to. continue the fighting with the German that he had to be moved to another ward. 18TH A. D. REFUSES TO INDORSE BENT Committeemen Revolt and Action on McCooey Candidate Is Deferred.

BASSET OUT OF THE RACE. Owen Murphy Enters Field for Leader, Further Complicating the Situation. The flame of revolt which burst out in the Nineteenth Assembly District Thursday night against the designation of Francis P. Bent for Congress over the wishes of the local leaders in Third Congressional District, has spread to Thirteenth A. D.

At a meeting of the Bassett organization in latter district, called last night for the purpose of indorsing the ticket, a majority of the county committeemen refused. pointblank to indorse Bent meeting was adjourned until tomorrow afternoon, by which time it is hoped their anger will have cooled off sufficiently to permit the indorsement to go through. Further trouble broke out in the Thirteenth last night when it became known that former Deputy Street Cleaning Commissioner Owen J. Murphy, taking advantage of the contest now being waged on Alderman Bassett for the Democratic leadership by James Wood, backed by James E. Finegan and the Colonial Democratic Club, had himself jumped into the leadership fight, making it a threecornered race.

Petitions bearing Owen Murphy's name for State committeeman made their appearance in the district today. Alderman Bassett told his followers last night that he had' determined to abandon his own aspirations to capture the Congressional nomination. Bassett's withdrawal now leaves three in the race---Conrad Hasenfung, the Ninteenth A. D. insurgent; John MacCrate, the Republican lawyer, and Bent.

Joseph V. Flynn, the present incumbent, who was turned down for a re-nimination, is understood to have also withdrawn from the fight. ROSENBROCK IN PRIMARIES Another Democratic leadership fight sprang up today. Friends of John D. Rosenbrock in the Fifth Assembly District declared that he would enter the Democratic primaries to defeat Deputy License Commissioner James I.

Sexton on the ground that the latter had failed to endorse Representative Reuben L. Haskell, the present Republican Congressman from the Tenth District. Rosenbrock played an active part in the fight against the Classon Avenue Sewer Association. The Sexton men are not worrying over the contest. Why Wasserman Withdrew Frank Wasserman, whose name was wiped off the Democratic slate for Senator in the Seventh District yesterday, issued a statement today denying that he had been withdrawn because of his refusal to make peace with United States Marshal James M.

Power, Democratic leader in the Twenty-third Assembly District. Wasserman is backing Philip J. Riley in a leadership fight on Power and his supporters claim to have the support of County Leader McCooey. In his statement Wasserman declared that his withdrawal was entirely voluntary and made in order to further the best interests of the party and to oblige his friend, Max Herzfeld, who was designated in his place. Soissons' Fall Decided Fate of Salient Battle Paris, August 3-Friday's splendid success is but a link in the chain of victories which have followed one after the other since General Foch launched his counter -offensive on July 18.

Rarely in war has a plan been followed with such clockwork regularity military opinion here outa is lost in admiration of the splendid genius which conceived it and of the masterly way in which it is being carried out. The Allied victory is hailed generally as being equal to the first victory of the Marne as a strategic masterpiece. What the consequence of yesterday's victory will be cannot yet be gauged, but that it will be far-reaching already appears certain to the commentators. The enemy cannot hold the Vesle line, it is believed, but must recross the Aisne, since by the recapture of Soissons the Allies are able to debouch on both sides of the river and take him in the rear. Dozen Villages Fired, Including Fismes.

The enemy appears to be perfectly aware of this and also of the necessity of getting out quickly if he wishes to avoid unpleasant accidents. In accordance with practice he already has set fire to the bases at Fismes and Braisnes and a dozen other villages, The smoke which pierced the horizon is believed to show that the enemy knows that he can no longer use these places. 217 U.

PRESIDENT URGES WAR PROFITS TAX AS WELL AS EXCESS Notifies House Committee New Tax Bill Must Be Enacted Before Election. INDORSES McADOO'S VIEWS Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Building.

BY C. C. BRAIERD. Washington, August 3-President Wilson has told members of Ways and Means Committee of the House, that he will insist on the enactment of a war profits tax, In addition to the excess profits tax already approved. Furthermore the President has said that the new tax bill must be enacted before the November election.

It became known today that Mr. Wilson has sent to the committee a private memorandum practically reiterating the arguments previously submitted by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. The President has pointed out that an excess profit tax based on a given return above capital invested, in many instances, does not reach the war profiteers. He calls attention to the flat tax of 80 per cent. imposed by Great Britain on excess profits over and above the profits earned in the years jus preceding the war, as the sort of aditional tax that should be imposed.

The German retreat began Friday morning after the fall of Tardenois line, brought about by the storming of the Hartennes plateau by the troops of General Mangin the night before. General Berthelot, on the East, entered Ville-En-Tardenois and advanced on both sides of the Ardre Valley.

The Americans in the center marched toward the Vesle down the Orillon Valley, while from Hartennes the French debouched into the Crise Valley, taking in the rear the previously impregnable redoubt of Buzancy. Arcy Wood But a Mouthful. Little by little the movement quickened. The Dormans- Rheims road was left. three miles behind and Geux, Poilly, Vezilly, Goussancourt and Coulonges were passed at a.

bound. The forest of Nesles was cleared out and Dole wood entered. Arcy wood was but a mouthful. On the west the troops carried on to Maast-et-Violaine, Chacrise and Septmonts. By midafternoon Allies were established solidly on the heights on both sides of the -that is to say south and southeast of Soissons.

The fall of Soissons, which the Germans were obliged to evacuate revocably decided the fate of the battie. It was the pivot of the whole German line. Even admitting that the German left could cling to the narrow plain between the Vesle and the Aisne, the right wing could not have remained in the air, as its only supports are the Soissons plateau and the nearest spurs of the famous Chemin Des Dames. Thus, it is held here, the situation will revert to where it was at the end of September, 1914.
