ALLIES NOW FACING
SUPREME CRISIS OF WAR.
LONDON, June 28. Via Ottawa-
William H. Hughes, premier of Aus
tralia, speaking at a luncheon of the
London chamber of commerce today.
said that the allies were facing th
supreme crisis of the war. The next
few weeks were pregnant with tre
mendous possibilities. The German
militarists fully recognized that they
must either achieve a decisive victorC"
or continue a hopeless struggle against
dally increasing odds.
The speech of Dr von Kuehlmann.
the German foreign secretary, he de
clared was a clear admission that the
recent enemy offensive had been bar
ren In Its gains and that military suc
cess. If not impossible, was farther
off than ever and unless victory was
gained politically Germany must pre
pare for a Ion Re war.
The change In the German tone, in
the opinion of Premier Hughes, was
due to a realization of America's great
effort. The Germans also know that
the Anglo-French armies were confi
dently awaiting the next onslaught,
while the much vaunted Austrian of
fensive had spent Itself and any day
might see the Ausctrian armies In
head long rout and the civilian popu
lation In open rebellion.

machines which took different courses
in an effort to break through the de
fensive barrier fire. During the com
motion In the air thus created, some
of the machines were evidently able to
effect a penetration, for bombs began
to drop almost immediately.
It was shortly a lull, after which the
bombardment again-grew In Intensity
and then finally subsided.
The damage done by the raiders is
reported as considerable.
President Poincare sent the victims
messages of sympathy and solicitude
on behalf cf the government.
There were several cases of careless

of shells from the anti-aircraft.

were suggested. It was, decided,
however, that there were not enough

Mr. White who was there as a Ger-man-born
