WILSON CLOSELY
GUARDED FROM
NERVOUS CROWD
ExtraordinaryPrecaution
Safeguard President at
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, May 1O.-A man with
his right hand in sling attempted to
reach the platform of the Broad Street
station on which President Wilson
was to disembark this evening. lie
passed the gate safely; then a Secret
Service man grabbed the injured arm
and threw him against the calling.
/ The man was harmless, as IL proved.
but remembering Buffalo. where a man
with a handkerchief over his hand had
murdered a President, no chances were
being taken.
A few minutes later another man
tried to get too close to the Presl-
Dental party. A big Secret Service
man pushed him back once. but he re-
turned. This time a right fist under
the ear sent him staggering.
Don't try that again" said the de-
tective. The fellow didn't. Nor did
others, seeing the incident, press for
ward quite so hard.
/ Again on the way to Convention
Hall. where Mr.. Wilson was to speak,
an automobile sought 70 pass the car
in which the President was riding. An
officer in the detectives car imme-
dately following yelled to the chauf-
feur to drop back second time the
order was repeated with an oath. Then
the muzzle of an automatic pistol pro-
truded beyond the body of the police
car. The argument was effective.
These instances are indicative of the
care taken TO prevent any untoward
happening to the President, who was
guarded here as men have rarely been
guarded before. On his coach rode
Secret Service Ofticers Joe Murphy and
Bill Nye, while he was surrounded by
the First Troop Of Cavalry. Police in
uniform literally lined the street along
the eight-mile drive, $50 plain clothes
men were scattered through the crowds
motor policemen led the way and
guarded cross streets, and IN Con-
yention Hall $50 men IN uniform were
on duty. Half as many more were
there in civilian dress.
Refuse to Pass Tumulty.
Until the party reached Convention
Hall everything went well. There the
police cracked under the tension and
with drawn clubs, forced members OF
the Presidential group away from the
entrance. In vain Private Secretary
Tumulty appealed to the police to let
them pass.
That's Secretary Tumulty," one OF
the party declared, waving a White
House pass.
81 don't care damn who he 49," de.
clared a policeman. Get back, and
the clubs swung menacingly.

GERMANY'S POSITION
REGARDING NEUTRALS

Washington. April S.-Just when
the national administration was con-
fidently waiting for a reply to the
American note challenging the Eng
lish right to.shut off our trade in con-
traband goods with neutral ports a
challenge that would benefit Germany
as well as the United States. German
affairs were brought to the fore in a
strenuous way by Count Won Berns
torff, German ambassador TO this
country, who made statements that
mean another series of diplomatic
wrangling.
The most serious single thing given
out by Bernstorff was a message from
Berlin stating that his government re-
fuses to be held responsible for the
death of neutrals aboard ships that
may be sunk by German submarines.
This is thought to be Germanys
action to forestal complaint by this
country concerning the death OF Leon
c. Thresher the American mining en-
gineer who was drowned when the
Falaba was torpedoed.
The German government claims the
submarine gave the Falaba as much
warning as possible and says that If
neutrals are killed on boats the re-
sponsibility rests with England, first,
because she drove Germany TO this
kind of warfare by declaring CONNER
cial war on the kaisers government,
and next because British merchant
men have been armed and advised to
ram German submarines when they
get the opportunity.

1T appears to be note against

having reason to fear any serious
steps from the American government.
Against Germany, however, al
though in veiled manner, the re
proach is made that she does not OBJ

recognized by civilized countries. The
note, in fact, gives the impression OF
an anti-German measure"

and which the enemy bombarded
with his heaviest artillery and mine
throwers. for this reason again was
abandoned by us.
An attack in the Argonne broke

tacks made by the enemy failed with
extraordinary heavy losses.
I'm the Combres hills two French
battalions were destroyed by our fire
At ALLY our troops commenced a
counter attack and threw the enemy
back into his old position. AT Apre-
ment the enemy had no success. The
other French attacks at Flirey like
wise completely failed.
Use Bodies for Defense.
Numerous bodies cover the fields
before our front and the number is
increasing because the French threw
those who had fallen in their trenches
in front of our positions.
"On the western border of the Bois
lie Pretre one of our battalions beat
back strong forces of the Thirteenth
French regiment after a bayonet en-
gagement.
Notwithstanding a heavy snow
