London, August Sir Edward Car
son, attorney general in the Asquith
cabinet. has prepared for the public
signed statement, giving a broad
outline of the first year of the war
from the British standpoint, together
with expression of the unalterable pur-
pose of the British government and
people to carry on the war to sue
cessful conclusion. The statement fol-
lows:
War to Last.
"How long will the war last and what
! will be the result? To such questions
as these any British subject can give
but one answer. and that is that the
war will last until the cause of the al
lies has been brought to successful
issue and Europe and the world have
been relieved from the ideals involved
in the aggression of Prussian DONNA
ton.
World peace" Forgotten.
THE world peace does not enter
into our vocabulary at present. 1t is
banished from our conversation as
something immoral and impossible UNI
der existing circumstances. And yet we
are the most peace-loving people in the
world, a nation which throughout the
globe within it's many dominions has
inculcated good government, and social
and industrial progress and the free
exercise in it's widest sense of civil and
religious liberty.
Rightly or wrongly, we have in the
past devoted our energies and our in
telligence, not to preparations for war,
but to that social progress which
makes for the happiness and the con-
tentment of the mass of our people.
And this. no doubt, is the reason why
other nations imagine that we, as a
nation of shopkeepers, are too indolent
and apathetic to fight for and main
tain these priceless liberties won by
the men who laid the foundation of
our vast empire.
Are Determined to Succeed.
But they are entirely mistaken in
forming any such estimate of the tenn
permanent or determination of our peo
pie Great Britain hates war and nc
nation enters more reluctantly upon
its horrible and devastating opera
ton; but at the same time no nation
when it is driven to war by the
Vaccinations of its foes, who desire tc
fitch from it or its co-champions OF
liberty any portion of their inherited
freedom, is more resolved to see the
matter through at whatever cost to g
successful issue.
Drives Foe From Seas.
"a year of war has transformed
Great Britain. OF our navy / neeC
hardly speak. 1t has upheld to the
fullest extent the great traditions
which fill the pages of history in the
past; it has driven it's enemies off tn,
seas; it holds vast oceans free for al
most the uninterrupted commerce o
neutral powers, and it has preserved
these highways for its own supplies o
material and food almost without in
terruption.
Il do not minimize the peril of thu
submarine, which is in process of be
ing dealt with through the careful
and Jealous watchfulness of our ad
miralty, but while the submarine ha
helped Germans to commit savage an,
inhuman atrocities contrary to th'
laws of civilization and against thu
settled rules of international law. i

German Submarine Hurt S

"The German submarine attack has
signally failed to hamper our military
operations. Under the protection
of our navy, hundreds of thousands
of men have been brought to the fight
ing area from the most distant parts
of the empire. Troop ships are cross
ing daily to France and not single
ship or a single soldier has been lost
in passage. The manner in which our
troops have received their supplies is
a source of satisfaction to us and ad-
miration to our enemies"

the Austro-Germans are doing their

very strong reenforcements to hasten

Meanwhile, the Germans, who appear
to have an inexhaustible supply OF
munitions, are fighting desperately to,
retain every position which they hold
along the western front. They have
recaptured part of the trenches which
they lost to the British near Hooge
and are making an effort to regain
what they lost to the French in the

RUMOR HOLY LAND

Rome, April 11.-Via Patis-The
presence in Rome of Gabriel Hano-
tauX, eX-minister of foreign affairs Of
France, and a member of the French
Academy is causing much comment
here. He has had audiences with
Pope Benedict and Papal Secretary
of State Gasparri. and subsequently
M Hanotaux was visited by a promi
nent prelate of the Papal secretaryship

A feeling exists in Rome that e
gotiations, perhaps totally unofficial,
are proceeding with the object of
bringing about an understanding be-
tween France and the Holy See, which
is considered more than necessary as
EusSias successes increase.
Through France the Vatican, it IS
understood. hopes to bring influence
to bear on Russia in connection with
her treatment of Polish Catholics. An :
other question which has attracted
the attention of the Holy See authori-
ties, is contained in a report publish
ed in Rome to the effect that Russia
in the event of victory, would not
be satisfied with Constantinople, but
would claim possession of the Holy
Land. because it is visited by 10000
Russians yearly"

Jail. is under indictment here on a charge
OF unlaWfI!ly transporting dynamite
from New York to Vanceboro, Me-, in
connection with the dynamiting of the

boro and Canada.
The governments demurrer is a formal
attack on the habeas corpus petition
and sets out the fact that Horn has been
in the custody Of the United States mar
shall at Boston since March 26 The gov
eminent, according TO the demurrer, con-
tends that Horn is in the lawful GUS
tody of the marshal and that the United
states district court at Boston has law
ful jurisdiction over the offence charged
In reply to Horns contention that he
did not get a fair hearing before the
United States commissioner in Maine
the demurrer states that it nowhere ap-
pears in his petition that any compete tent
evidence offered by Horn at the hearing
for his removal was rejected by the
United States commissioner, or that the
commissioner denied him any legal rights
or due process of law t. which he was
entitled under the Constitution and the
treaties with Germany.
The demurrer also sets up the con-
tention that Judge Will IN l.. Putnam
of Maine has no jurisdiction in the ha-
beas corpus Proceedings in Maine and
that Judge Clarence Hale in declining
to hear the proceedings in Maine did
not deny Horn any right. privilege or
immunity tc which he was lawfully en-

WESTERN EFFORT
BY ALLIED ARMIES
French Offensive Movement in Woevre Consid-
cred Prelude Russian Successes

London, April 11.-10.45 P. M.-The
French offensive in the Woevre, which
according to official reports from
Paris, continues to make progress, all
though the Germans reiterate that all
the French attacks have been repuls-
ed, is believed to be but the prelude
to big general effort in the West.
With the two general staffs in direct
conflict, it is difficult to guage the
results Of the fighting. Military ex-
perts here, however. express the con-
viction that the Germans will be COM
PEELED to send reinforcements TO
strengthen their wedge which pene-
trates to ST. Mihiel, and which is be-
ing attacked on both flanks. and that
as soon as this movement begins the
Allies will strike at the point thus
weakened, and perhaps at the whole
line.

satisfied with the meagre official re-
ports from the various headquarters.
The Russians, like the French, are
apparently making progress In this
capture Of important points which are
essential before a general forward
movement can be undertaken.
They hold the whole principal chain
of the Carpathians and at some points
are descending the southern slopes and

ready in, the Uzsok valley, south Of
the pass of that name.
Fighting is going on under extreme
ly difficult conditions, the ground be-
ing covered with snow which is COM
mencing to soften, while the Austro-
Germans continue to bring up rein
forcements in an endeavor to check
the advance. The Russians, however.
appear to have confidence in their
ability to handle the task, for stimuli
taneously they are showing consid-
cradle activity both on the East Prus-
sian frontier where they claim sue
cess over the Germans, and south OF
the Vistula where the Germans say
they have repulsed a Russian at
tack.
DardanelIes Bombardment
The Allied fleet has, according to
unofficial reports. been bombardinS

Of Saros. This, doubtless is being done
to prevent the Turks from repairing

the big attack will not be resumed
until the land forces arrive.
Unofficial reports also continue to
come in regarding the gun firing off
the Norwegian coast last Wednesday
night, concerning which the Admiral
ty has made nothing public. The
Scandinavian papers are convinced
that a sea battle has occurred, al
though they variously describe it as
a battle between British and German
cruisers and q chase by British or
German submarines.
