EXPECTATION OF ARMS IS
DEFENDED BY DIR. GREGORY
Former Dean Of George Washington University Law School
Replies to Dernburgs Statement Says We Are Not
Responsible for Incidents of War;

DIR. Charles Noble Gregory, former dear
Law School and famous expert on juris
prudence, answered the reply made BY

colonial secretary, to DIR. Gregory's ad

full language he replied: THE state.
ment of DR.. Gregory is absolutely false.

right of the United States to ship arms
to England

United States to ship munitions of war
to whomsoever she cares" said DIR.
Dernburg. land the German government
has never protested against il. But II
Americans are upheld by the United
States in shipping arms TO England. why
does not the United States demand that
her people have the right to ship food
into Germany? Germany has made no
protest against the shipment of arms
to England and France or Russia, but
England has protested and. in fact, has
placed an embargo upon American ships
carrying food to Germany.
All that Germany asks Of the United
States government is to accord to Ger
many the same treatment in regard to
foodstuffs as she has accorded to Eng
land in regard to arms"
No Attack on Germany.
DIR. Gregory said yesterday. in regard
to his Philadelphia address:
Il made no attack upon Germany or
the German Ambassador. l understood
the German Ambassador, in his state
ment, as Directing to expectation of
arms from this country to the allies.
Il defended the expectation of NUM-

Admits Loss of 1900.
1t is learned from reports originating
on the Belgian frontier that the Ger
man staff in Belgium admits the loss of
- 900 men killed in the battle of Ypres.
Paris unofficial reports state that the
Ka!scrs forces lost 1000 in this fighting.
1t is conceded on all hands that the Ger
man losses on the field at Ypres are be-
yond all calculations.
Wounded men have arrived in such
numbers that in some of the villages
behind the LangemarckP asschendaele
front they lay along the hiShroad en-
veloped in the dust OF passing guns and
marching infantry.
From Bruges it is reported that on
last Thursday alone, sixteen trains. OF
forty cars each. all filled with serious

through on their way to Cologne.
The Germans are fast moving several
new corps into Flanders. according to
Belgian dispatches. Vast bodies of troops
which lined the frontier of Belgium a
few days ago and which overran Bruges
now have been transported farther west.

With but brief intermissions the bonn

Shells arrived on an average OF five
minute intervals. Forty-seven civilians
were killed or wounded. Some of the
projectiles bored holes in the streetI

CROOKS WOULD SILENCE
PASTOR WITH DYNAMITE
Enemies of Evangelistic Campaign in
Hagerstown. Md. Try to Blow
Up Tabernacle.

Special TO The Washington Herald.
Hagerstown, Md. May 2.-Members
Of the vice and crime element here
made an unsuccessful attempt early
this morning TO blow up the taberna-
Gle in North Potomac street, in which
the Rev. DR.. w. f. Biederwolf is con-
Quoting n six weeks evangelistic cam
paign. The only damage done by the
explosive. said to have been dyna-
mite. was the blasting of a big hole
in the rear of the tabernacle. which
seats 1000.
Persons living in the neighborhood
were aroused by the explosion and
made a thorough search of the vicin-
ity without finding any suspects. The
entire city is being combed by the
police. however.
The tabernacle is being closely
guarded today, and will be for the
remainder of the campaign. One or
DR.. Biederwolfs party stated that the
explosion evidently was executed by
enemies of the campaign, who, he
said, are feeling its effects. Invest,-
cation of the building by Chief of
Police Fridinger showed that the ex-
plosive had been placed in a ragged
hole in the side of the building bor-
dering on an alley.

Millions Away from Japan,
Is Belief.

plan to introduce the Roman al
phabet into China in order that Chi =
mas masses may have access 10 occi-
dental literature, become more cioseiS
associated with western civilization
and drawn away from Japan has beeh
inaugurated by William W. Chung,
a prominent Chinaman of this city,
and a group of his countrymen' IL
was learned yesterday.
Mr.. Chung is sending out letters
to all Chinese students in America
asking them TO join in an appeal TO
cultured Chinese throughout the
world to lend moral support TO the
movement. 1t is planned TO mail
100000 copies of the appeal 10 edu-
Gated Cinnamon and to have the ap-
peal made in the name of Chinese
students in America.
Old Alphabet an Obstacle.
1t is the belief of Mr.. Chung that
if China's people are taught to use
the alphabet in vogue in this and
other great nations their education
and progress will be rapid and China
soon will have a population of many
millions of educated men from which
to form an army. Mr.. Chung con-
siders that the Chinese alphabet
which also is used in Japan, is
great barrier to China's progress.
Following is copy of the letter
which Mr.. Chung and his associates
are sending out:
Dear Fellow COuntrymen: One SUI
preme need in China today is TO pro-
mote the education Of our 30O.O00.OOO
uneducated so that they may share in
the defense of China. Grave danger
from within and without urges us to
immediate action. II we further delay
their education through our preju
dice against the alpha bet Chat is
against the introduction of Romaniza
ton into our language for the use and
enlighte nment of the masses), we
might eventually lose our national lib
erty.
Gould China forever go on with the
old system of writing while other ma
tions advance by leaps and bounds in
matters of education" Must not the
change come sooner or later" Can you
bear to think that the Chinese are to
be eternally barred from the use of the
alphabet simply because they were
born conservative? What if the time
comes when the people do want the
alphabet and find il too late. as in the
case of the metric system with the
English speaking people: If we had
ten lives to live over again indeed it
would be worth while to die ten times
sary. To say it is would be an insult
to your intelligence.
VIII Not Accept Money,
1T is intended to have l.30e. 900
copies of an appeal printed in Chinese.
in the name of Chinese students in
America. for distribution among our
own cultured people throughout the
world. We shall not accept any con-
tribution in money towards the expense
OF this undertaking in order to secure
public confidence in our motive and
aim. Your utmost moral support.
however. is earnestly requested with
the hope that the appeal may accom-
plish the largest result for the good of
our country. The appeal will finally
be properly worded and will include the
best opinion of our students. Will you
please join us as senders of the ap-
peal"
