heart is made of-the pure Amerj-
can gold that is in it. l am glad
that | may affirm the thanks OF
france for the generosity of Amer
ica-the neutral United States"

question in the European struggle"
was the same problem that con-
'ronted America in revolutionary
lines. I'VE thought we had solved
he problem of human liberty" he
said. But il again confronts us. II

London, April 1S.-The British.

stroying a Turkish torpedo boat
which attacked the transport Mani
tou off Chios yesterday, lost the sub
marine ELS which while carving
out a difficult reconnaissance in the
Dardanelles mine field, ran aground
on Kephez Point, the crew being
made prisoners.
According to the Turkish report
seven of the Turkish submarine crew
are missing.
In Egypt British airmen have
dropped bombs near the border
while French cruiser, the fire OF
which was directed by seaplane,
has been throwing shells on the
Turks near El Arish, where the
army for the invasion of Egypt has
its headquarters.
These operations were undertaken
presumably to hcrass the Turks as
the Turks have not shown an inten-
ton Of attacking the British since
their last repulse along the canal.
In the Carpathians there has been
fighting but no battles to be compar.
ed with those which the arrival of
spring brought to close The Aus
trians report that they have repulsed
Russian attacks southeast of Lup-
kow pass, infiicting heavy losses on
their advcrsaries, but elsewhere
comparative calm prevails.

British, too, have attacked the Ger

ly to magnify in the eyes of the
Italians the frontier incident which
occurred yesterday. According to
the latest reports, the Austrians, who
were passing over Italian territory.
actually fired upon Italian troops,
who repused them, and in return
penetrated into Austrian territory.
The sinking of the Greek steamer
Eilispontos by submarine off the
Dutch coast is likely to bring about
friction between the Greek and Ger
man governments. The Ellispontos
was destroyed while on a voyage
from Ymuiden. Holland, to Monte
