POURING TROOPS
INTO FLANDERS
GERMANS ARE MAKING DEsPER-
ATE EFFORTS TO TURN THE
ALLIED FORCES BACK.
Fighting Continues in the carpathians
Despite the TorrentiaI Rains, the
Russians Claiming to Have
Made Advances.

The Germans are pouring troops
into Flanders to press the attack
which at the beginning has forced
the allies back to the User canal to
the north of Ypres.
This movement, according to re-
ports reaching Holland, has assumed
even greater dimensions than those
which preceded the battle that ragged
for more than two weeks In this same
region last October On that occasion
the operations ended in the discomfi.
ture of the Germans, who had de-
clared their intention of pushing their
way through to Calais.
1t appears that the Germans have
a similar aim at this time and have
set out to capture Ypres, which is de.
scribed as the key to the French
coast ports.
While the attack originally met
with considerable success, due, &C.
cording to the allies reports, to the
use by the Germans OF asphyxiating
gases, II is said to have been already
checked. The Canadians, who held
the extreme left of the British line
and were forced to retire when the
rest of the front was pressed back
made a brilliant counterattack, re
gaining most. II not all. the grount
which they had conceded and retak
ing four guns which they had left In
the hands OF the Germans. In the
words of Sir John French, they saved
the situation.
In the meantime fighting goes on
in Champagne and the Woevre, as
we'll as in the Carpathians. Despite
torrential rains. the Russians appear
to have resumed their attacks on the
Austro-German positions guarding
Uzsok pass. The capture by the Rus
slams of hill 1901, 1t is claimed, will
greatly facilitate their operations, re
ducing in Importance hill 992, which
the Austrians still hold.
Confirmation OF this new Russian
offensive is contained In the Austrian
Official report, which records fighting
on Turka road, which traverses Uzsob
pass,

OF
ARMS DEFENDED
ANSWER TO GERMAN CRITICISM
OF AMERICAN ATTITUDE
PENNED BY PRESIDENT.
Declares That Position Of This coun-
try is Founded Upon the Firm
Basis Of Conscience and
Good viii.

Washington. - The United States
government replied on April 81 to the
recent memorandum In which Count
von Bernstorff, the German ambassa-
dor, declared that IF the American
people desire to observe true neu-
trality, they will find means to stop
the exclusive importation Of arms to
one side, or at least to use this export
trade as a means to uphold the legiti
mate trade with Germany, especially
the tarde in foodstuffs."
The American note, which is signed
by Secretary Bryan. was drafted at
the state department, but was finally
penned by President Wilson himself.
After pointing out that the language
used by Count Bernstorff is 'suscept-
Ible of being construed as impugn-
ing the good faith OF the United States
In the performance Of its duties as a
neutral" the note takes 1t for
granted that no such implication was
Intended" and suggests that evident
ly the German ambassador is laboring
under certain false impressions"
II is then declared that while the
relations OF the United States with
any one Of the belligerents cannot
wisely be made subject OF discus
sion with third government" such
correspondence between the United
States and the allies as has been pub
llshed shows the steadfast refusal
OF the government Ito acknowledge
the right OF any belligerent to alter
the accepted rules OF war at sea, IN
30 far as they affect the rights and
interests of neutrals."
The attitude Of the United States
en- the question OF expectations OF
arms is restated-namely, that Ito
place any embargo on arms during
the progress OF war would be a di'
rect violation of the neutrality OF the
United States" The note refers to
the spirit of friendship which the
United States desires always to man
fest toward Germany and its people,
and concludes with the declaration
that the neutrality OF the United
States "is founded upon the firm
basis OF conscience and good will"
