MAJOR ATTACK
IS IMMINENT
Washington, July 10. — General
Pershing'® official report today dis*
closes heavy movements of the
German army behind their rear
lines. Immense quantities of muni
tions as well as large forces of
men indicate preparations for a
major attack. The movement is to
wards channel ports.
Washington, July 10.—There is
noy reason to believe that the pro
posal to send. American, business
men to Russia forms the basis for
1 negotiation between Washington
and the Entete capitals.
Only this idea has assumed a new
phase through the injection of the
idea to make the commission and
the armed guard of international
composition, thus tending to disarm
any suspicion that may arise on the
part of Russia that their country is
to be exploited in the Interests of
any one single power.
