ARMY ON THE VESLE, Aug 14 (By A. From one end to the other of the Franco-American line between Soissons and Rheims and far into the back arena, the Germans dropped bombs from the air before daylight tcclay. On the flanks of the position, which ire held by the Frer.cn, light attacks were repulsed during Tuesday night. At no point has there been any alteration in the line.

Not since the German retreat halted have there been aerial raids of the magnitude of the one today. The Americans stood up well under the bombardment. The front line was pounded and almost every village and the roads between were subjected to the bombardment, but the great number of bombs fell on unoccupied ground. The present German line, which is still regarded as only a temporary one. depends on a defense of machine guns and airplanes.

GRIGG (Special Correspondent of the Globe. I ON THE BRITISH FRONT, Aug 14 It Is now possible for me to tell of the memorable visit of King George with his troops during the great battle.

It was a visit having special significance for the Americans because of his review of the American troops on the first day he arrived, and particularly the review yesterday of the troops who made the successful attack with the Australians at Hamel on July 4. The King's visit to the front just before the big battle and his continued presence during the engagement has been the cause for great satisfaction. During these strenuous days he has traveled 800 miles, but he looked in ex-! cellent health despite this long strain. Yesterday, after reviewing the Ameri-! cans, he visited Amiens, from whose 1 gates during his stay the British and Colonial troops had thrown the enemy, and once more had given this shfll and bomb-marked town a new lease of life. From there.

King George went to van oratory before it catalog, but the is listed in the Victor Record artist ivho makes the record MELBA must also be satisfied that it his portrays or I WASHINGTON. Aug 14 Germany is threatening the Swedish commercial situation in the Baltic to such a degree that, according to a dispatch from France today, the Swedes are greatly disturbed. Formerly the great flood of traffic in goods and passengers between Finland and Central and Western Europe passed through Sweden toward Denmark and Germany by the great and steamship lines. Now Germany has diverted this traffic and making it pass through Esthonia and Livonia A ferry service for cars and passengers will shortly be opened between Helsing-fors and Reval so that the tide of traffic will pass directly from the Finland Railway and without unloading will reach the German frontier by way of Dorpat. Riga and Dvinsk.

Two German navigation lines have been started between I.ubeck and Stettin to Reval on the Baltic. German efforts to gain commercial control of Russia are becoming more apparent. The Hamburg Chamber of Commerce has sent a delegation into Litauen, Kurland. Livland and Estland, to consolidate the commercial connection with the Baltic countries. If Germany succeeds in making a line of vassal States, even though only commercially, from Finland to Ukraine, it is obvious that Russia, the hinterland of these States, would be cut off commercially from the rest of the world, except through German controlled States and Germany.

All hostile positions between the western outskirts of Bray and Etinehem have fallen into the hands of the Australians, thus placing the Somme River bank southwest of Bray under the control of the British. The Australians also have cleared the enemy from Cateaux wood. In this region the British have been actively straightening and pushing forward their line. Northwest of Bray the British raided the enemy lines and found them unoccupied.

A considerably increased artillery lire this morning indicated that the enemy had finally decided to bring up more of his guns. Various small artillery concentrations have sprung up during the last few hours and are filing on some points within the British lines, such as Vau-vlllers, Framerville. Proyart. Lihojts, Dernaricourt and the forward areas south of the Villers-Bretonneux-Chaul-nes Railway. The Germans have also subjected the valley north of Motiancourt to heavy gas shelling and have similarly treated Harbonnierea and the Gressaire Wood region.

No further counter-attacks by the enemy are reported. SOCIALISTIC MISSION IS NOT PACIFISTS 1 MCCQRMACK her art with absolute fidelity.

Gen Pershing reported in his statement for vesterdav, which was made public tonight bv the War Department. The text of the statement follows: "Section A Aside from the intermittent artillery activity there is nothing to report from sectors occupied by our troops.

This was done, according to William English Walling, secretary, because of the receipt of information that some of the statements of members of the mission in Europe had been seized upon by "pacifist fanatics" there to prove that the American people were not behind the President and were represented "'by the so-called American Socialist party."
