NEXT GERMAN BLOW
IS BELIEVED TO BE
A MATTERJDF BAYS
ALSO BELIEVED IT WILL BE THE
LAST HINDENBURG WILL BE
ABLE TO MAKE, AND WILL BE
THE MOST VIOLENT.
With the British Armies in France,
July 9.—The next German blow is
believed to be a matter of days and
it is also believed wil be the last Hin
denburg vril be able to deliver from
the slowness of his past efforts. But
nobody out here doubts that it will be
the hardest he is capable of making
once his men are set in motion, or
that it will eclipse all previous bat
tles in point of violence and men and
material engaged. A strange lull
continues to hover over the west
front, even the enemy airmen stick
ing closer to their roosts.

wreck, interfering with the rescue

ASSASSINATION TO WIPE OUT HUN MILITARY.
(By Joseph Hhaplen, U. P. War Correspondent).
STOCKHOLM, July 10.—The assassination of Ambassador"
Mirbach was only the first step in a plot by the Russian terrorists
to wipe out the whole of the German military clique. Before I
left Petrograd I heard of, but was unable to verify, the plot to
kill Mirbach and then send the terrorists into Germany to kill
the kaiser, Ludendorff, Hindenburg and Kuehlmann. This plot
appeared so improbable at the time I first learned of it that it
seemed but the wildest dream, and does yet. But Mirbpch has
been killed and there is no telling what might happen.
