GERMANS BATTER BRITISH.
Break Through Line at Several Points
 Near Ypres.

London, May 26.-The Germans have shattered the British front east of Ypres at several points by the use of gas cylinders. which belch poison ous fumes forming a wall 40 feet high alonga five-mile front, according to a report by Field Marshal Sir John French, received tonight. The wall of death was maintained for four and one-half hours. The po- sitions lost on Monday had not been regained up to yesterday. On some sectors of the front within the day, the British were able to hold their ground, according to the British com mander.
 This German success in the west | was offset in part by French claims of gains on the Arras front. But on the east, the Germans achieved even greater gains. Capture of 153 Russian officers and 21,00O men in the renewal of the German of- fensive north of Przemysl is reported by General von Mackenzen to Berlin. while Vienna claims further gains to the southeast of Przemysl.
 Turks Ask Truce. In the Dardanelles, the Turks, ac- cording to the British report, were forced to ask for truce to bury their dead. ande 5000 bodies were inferred where they fell before the onslaught of the Australian and New Zealand troops on the western coast of the peninsula.
 Sinking of a Russian armored cruiser by Turkish submarine Op- erating in the Black sea. reported on Monday, was confirmed by the Con- stantinople minister of marine.
 The German report of the opera tions east of Ypres. says the advance netted them two farms and carried their line up to within one and one- port states that the amount of gas used by the Germans in this operation was greater, than on any previous occasion.
 The French northeast of Angres claim to have cRsSied. the German salient protecting III kHSQnrl works known as Les CornailtS addition to another German strohgha Ast to the southeast.
 On the Noulette- Souchez road, the. troops of the republic carried a19AA of trenches two-thirds of mile I01le. where the Germans had resisted strongly for two weeks.
 Germans Make Captures.
 Against the official report of further successes by the Teutonic allies around Przemysl. is an official claim that the Russians on this front area fast recovering their equilibrium and that while the Germans and their Austrian allies still are on the of fensive, their attacks are more in the

No Peace At Present.

A dispatch sent from the Hague
recently said:
''It has been learned from trust
worthy but unofficial sources that at
recent conference in Amsterdam
which was attended by several mem
bers of the Reichstag, one of the
members stated that DIR. Won Beth
mann Hollweg, the Imperial German
Chancellor, had declared. that Ger.
many was inclined to conclude peace
of Belgium and the Mouse line, the
cession of Courland and the payment
of an indemnity of $500. 900. 900"
Almost at the same hour Premier
Asquith addressing the British Parlia-
ment and describing the actual posi-
ton of England said its attitude sis
as determined today as it has ever
been to prosecute the war to a sue
cessful conclusion, and which trusts
the Government, by whomsoever con-
trolled, to use every means to the at
tainment of that purpose"
At the same time Premier BRAND
before the French Chamber of Depu-
ties and Senate said:-
France did not disturb the peace.
Resisting all provocation, she did
everything possible to maintain it. 1t
was premeditated aggression, that no
sophism can ever succeed in justify
ing, that imposed war upon her. She
accepted war without fear and she
will not cease the struggle until the
enemy has been mastered. It is only
when right shall have been restored
by victory and when she shall have
obtained every guarantee for dur
able peace that France will sign a
peace. This end the allied nations
day tightens the bonds that unite
them-bonds further strengthened by
the adhesion of Japan to the agree
ment of Sept. 5, 1914, by which the
powers undertook solemn engagement
not to conclude peace separately"
It is evident neither England nor
France will cor sent to any such terms
of peace as those suggested by Ger
many and it is we'll they will not. "a
durable peace" is the only peace worth
attainment and the world will pa
tiently wait until the German govern
ment is forced to grant it.

I'VE lived through the tragic hour
when Bulgaria modified. In vain we
besought the Entente to allow us to
act and attack Bulgaria before her
mobilization was complete. The En-
tente was still under the delusion that
Bulgaria would march against Turkey.
We obeyed. and that was our ruin.
The situation now is terrible. If the
Allied troops do not come in time you
will on your return find Serbia no
more. The fate of Belgium will have
been ours
The women of Serbia are fighting
side by side with the men to prevent
this terrible fate and in every Serbian
town women, old men and children
are trained to throw bombs at the in
vaders which they do with consider
able effect. But this is no permanent
check to the artillery of the invaders
and in the rear of the retreating Ser
bian army is a great stream of people
and teams hopelessly flowing south

The speech of President Wilson be-
last Thursday evening outlining the
plan of national defense will create a
very favorable impression upon the
majority Of Americans. His advoca-
versal of democratic doctrine but the
change is in response to an actual
necessity. The position so long held
by this country that it's isolation and
was sufficient defense is no longer safe.
The declaration that the United States
seeks only defense in it's military pre-
paration is correct. Especially strong
for defense that cit represents the
best professional and expert judge
ment of the country" 1t is far better
than the plan of politically ambitious
man or group of men.
with ourselves in this great mat
ter we associate all the peoples of our
own hemisphere" said the president
This is a strong declaration for the
Monroe Doctrine and indicates an at
titude on the part of the government
to make it effective against any ma
ton that may desire to conflict with
it, The enforcement of this doctrine
is one of the cheapest and most eff
cient defenses this country can pos
sibly construct.
Taken as the whole speech shows
the determination of the president. to
really prepare this country for its am
pie defence and the people will well
come his purpose. We do not believe
the president is an indispensable ne
cessity for the carrying out Of such
a scheme of defense. We believe it
would be carried out well with an
other man at the head Of the govern
ment. But we do believe the presi-
dent has strengthened himself in COM
hitting himself so firmly in behalf of
the best interests of his country.

One of the strongest arguments in
favor of the direct primary is that it
will take the selection of candidates
out of the hands of the caucus manipu-
lators and politicians and place it
more directly in the hands of the vot-
ers. If it does nothing more than this
it will be worth all that it may cost
Burlington Clipper.
If you believe the average voter will
go out and get 500 legal voters to sign
a petition in order to get another
mans name on the official ballot for
the primary, you may honestly believe
the selection of candidates will be
more directly in the hands of the vot-
ers. But should you name to your
self all the voters in your vicinity who
would voluntarily go to the trouble of
getting 500 signatures for another
man you would find a comparatively
small ring" willing to get candidates
into the field.
