(Ry Aaaociated Pre.)
Waiihington, July M. President
Wilson today in a personal statement
addressed to hie fellow countrymen
denouncing mob spirit and mob ac
tion, railed upon the nation to show
th world that while it Aghta for de
mocracy on foreign fields it ia sot
destroying democracy at home.
The president referred not only to
mob action against those suspected of
being enemy alirns or enemy sympa
thizers; he denounced most emphati
cally mob actions of all sorts, espec
ially lynching, and while he did not
refer specifically to lynching of ne
groes in the South, it is known that
he included them in his characterisa
tions of mob spirit sa a "blow at the
heart of ordered law and human Jus
tic." It ia known that th lynching of
negroea, aa well as attacks upon those
suspected of being enemies or sym
pathizers, have been used by th Ger
man propaganda throughout Central
and South America as well as In Eu
rope, to contend that the pretensions
of the United States aa th chaeanien
of democracy are a aham.
Deeply concerned by th situation,
the president declared to address his
fellow countrymen and to declare
that "every mob contribute to Ger-
man lira about the United States
what her moat gifted liars cannot im
prove upon by way of calumny."

London, July 25. An official an
nouncement today give th view of
an Auntralian correspondent with th
Australian force in Franc who says:
"Th German newspaper have
been concentrating on decrying Gen.
Foch and deprecating th American
forces. The campaign against Gen.
Foch, intended to shake th con
fidence of the allies in their common
commander, has been utterly stulti
fied by th second battl of th
Marn. Th newapaper barrage ef
depreciation of th quality of th
Americans ia intended for people In
side of Germany sine w in Franc
see and know.
."If the German comforts himself
with the idea that they are not equal
much th better, because his surprie
will be very great Their military
authorities taught them th sam fal
lacy respecting th troopa of th
Britiah dominions. Ws hare on th
spot know that th quality of those
troopa ia Infinitely higher than that
of any of th German troops th
Australians ever met in Franc. Aus
tralian officer and man who know
this war in every form, say that with
out exception th American troops
ar th finest on could possibly wish
to meet."

th enemy on various sectors.
The Germans strove hard in the
Forest regions north of the Marnr to
hold back the French and the Ameri

The enemy was everywhere forced
alightly back to the north, however,
and the forests have been almost en

Southeast of Rheima heavy rein
forcements evidently have been
thrown along the front, where the
Britiah, French and Italian are fight

where the battle line turn sharply

have taken nearly all of the old line i

of th world will get to understand

mendous power in cementing th pro- -jected
lesgue of nations which m
to maintain a world peace," declares
a writer in th London Evening
News, urging that British motion pic
ture manufacturer should beset them ,
snivel to overcome American "dom
ination" of th market. Calling at
tention to the powerful influence of
th screen in affecting the thought
of the public, th writer further
demands that th government, possi
bly through th Colonial office, should
sssi t in pushing Brit'sh Alms on th '
markets of th Empire and se that
"th heart of England ia not Ameri
csn." "Ninety per cent of th ideal and
sentiment emanating from Britiah
screens in American," th writer con
tinued, according to a copy of th
article transmitted in official dispatch
es to the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. ""W should--n't
grumble, I am sure, if 10 per
cent of the ideals and on per cent
of the sentiment shown on American
screens were British. But they ar
not. American ideala and sentiment
dominate the screens of tho whol
world.
"Th British dominions, as far as
th cinema ia concerned, are in tha

can as any to see the Star and
Stripe flutter on the screens of th
world. Thar ar few pictures now
adays in which 'Old Clory' doe not
gat a look-in.
"Americanixation of the world
through th moving picture has been
going on for th past four years.
American ideals, th American flag,
railway stock, motor cars, polieo
courts, flood th screens. To th peo
ple of the British Empire, the great
