afternoon our troops took the Of

The French co-operated on our left.
and farther to the north they re-
took Het Sas.

several opportunities for INJECTING
severe casualties on the enemy.
On the remainder of the front there is

War once statement under date OF
April 70:
First-Severe fighting to the northeast
OF Ypres still continues. the general
situation remaining unchanged. Our
left flank. in readJusting its line to
meet the altered conditions, due to
the original forced retirement of the
French. had to face to the north and
to extend to the west beyond St
Julien. This extension weakened our
line for time, and after q gallant
resistance by the Canadians against
superior numbers ST. Julien was cap
tured by the enemy. Our lines now
run south of that place.
Second-Our troops to the east OF
fpres have borne the brunt of re-
peated heavy attacks, which they
have stubbornly opposed throughout
the battle. in an entirely unexpected
situation. which has demanded the
exercise Of gallantry and fortitude
by the men and quick resource and
other military qualities by their
commanders.
Third-Attacks also were delivered
yesterday by the Germans on the
east of the Ypres salient. In spite
Of the use by the enemy of asphyx-
iating gases. the attacks were re-
pulsed and German officers and men
were captured.
days we have inflicted very heavy
casualties on the Germans. Our
| losses also have been heavy. The
| German wireless report that four
| English heavy guns were captured Is
untrue.
One of our aviators dropped bombs or
the Courtrai station this afternoon
and destroy ed the junction. Although
| wounded he brought his machine
| safely back to our lines.

In view OF the undenlAble mark

not be Justly accused OF subord-

10 those Of England or Germany,

meagre that may be-the racial
constitution OF America as IL
stands today. The result has

comparing the conclusions with
the social. political and other
changes which have taken place
during the last few generations,

American society. American do
nestle and public life and policy
have always been dominated and
controlled by the AnRlo-SA1on ele-
ment. and are so today. The 9TH
er races which are merged into
the American nation have usually
submitted. with the exception OF
the Irish. which consistently has
opposed British domination. Il
Is, therefore. interesting and rath-
er important I'm the situation in
which the United States find
themselves at the present time
TO realize that we are no longer
an Anglo-Saxon nation. and that
the Anglo Saxon element Is great
ly in the minority.
During colonial days the pop-
ulation OF our country was mainly
British. that Is Anglo Saxon
though Norman English, Celt and
Latin had contributed to the
structure OF the British race. In
1890. OF the four million inhabit-
ants. probably 70 per cent were
Anglo-Saxon. the remainder Dutch
and Scandinavian. German. Irish.
French and Spanish. As late as
1880 over 20 per cent Of the thir-
teen million inhabitants were stiu
Anglo-SaNOn. Then, however.
came the great streams OF imi-
grants-the Germans and the
Irish, and later the Mediterran-

the composition OF the American
nation changed.
About the early sos the Anglo

In the 9O's. in a population OF
seventy millions, the Irish-German
contingent passed numerically the
