Empires Strength So Increased 1t Can

Press Utterance.

Berlin April 23-The Imperial Chancellor Dr. Beth

seem to Justify the assumption that the empires responsible,
leaders great headquarters have finished consideration OF
the American note and reached decision concerning Ger

to any but the highest officials.
The Chancelors return it is understood not expected

reached earlier than looked for There is nation OF

significance the fact that the Lokal Anzeger which IS

prestige increased in the last twenty months in the
eyes the whole world that the German government has in

The obvious deduction according to the view here is that

toned in Dispatches for
Bravery on West Front.

Friends of Elliott c. Cowdin learned
yesterday that the young New Yorker,
now flying for France on the Verdun
front. had brought down another Ger
man Taube over the beleaguered fort
rcss and had again been mentioned in
dispatches for bravery.
Cowdin succeeded in having himself
transferred 10 the Verdun sector soon
after the Germans began their great
drive there. Since then nc has been
flying regularly.
With him are other United States
citizens now serving as sviators for
the Allies-William Thaw. Norman
Prince and twenty-five others These
have been organized into the American
Volunteer Squadrilla-a foreign legion
Of the air-and are fighting as a seps-
rate unit under the command of a
French officer.
Early in July last year Cowdin was
made a sergeant after he had brought
down his first German Taube in run
ming fight. In. December he returned
to this country with Thaw and Prince
on an eight days furlough. He left at
the end of eight days. despite the pro-
tests Of George Sylvester Viereck, who

GERMANS GAIN
WEST OF MEUSE
Take Trenches at Dead
Man Hill, Berlin
Asserts.

London, April z5.-With the e1cep-
tion of small German gains at Dead
Mans Hill, activity about Verdun was
slight to-day. Even these are not
mentioned in the Paris statements,
which refer only to the bombsrdment
OF Hill 3O4. The night report says:
South of the Somme our artillery
carried out concentrated fires on tho
German trenches in the neighborhood
Of Fransart and Hsttencourt, south OF
Chaulnes.
"West Of the Meuse there was a
somewhat violent bombardment against
Hill 3O4.
East Of the Meusc and in the
Woevre there were artillery gusts, but
no infantry action occurred during the
course of the day.
"In Lorraine we vigorously shelled
the enemy works in the sector of Lein-
trey. No event of importance occurred
on the rest Of the front.
Thirty German divisions have ap-
peared on the Verdun front up to April
%. II is 10 be remarked that the Ge--
man command seeks to carry on the
action with the least troops possible,
but keeps them a, the front until they
are sustained, the German command
reforms the units by means Of rein
forcements, and brings them back to
the attack when they are scarcely re-
constituted.
1T is thus that certain divisions
have reappeared on this front as often
as three and even four times"
The communication issued earlier to-
day says;
West Of Vsuquois the Germans tried
during the course OF the night 20
capture one Of our machine guns which
was particularly inconvenienclng them.
They were repulsed. Eight prisoners
remained in our hands
West Of the Meuse the enemy did
not renew his attacks between the
brook of Bethincourt and lie Mort
Homme. A surprise attack made by US
in the wood of Avocourt enabled us
to take several posts on the road and
90 make a few prisoners"
Berln's official statement is as fol-
lows:
I'VE were compelled TO evacuate our
newly won trenches on the Lange-
marck-Ypres road on account Of high
foods, which made their consolidation
impossible.
"An English hand grenade attack,
made toward morning south of St Eloi,
was repulsed. English patrols, which
advanced in the night against our lines
on both sides OF the BapaumeAlbert
high road after preparation by strong
artillery fire. were repulsed.
Near Tracy-le-Val an enemy gas
attack was unsuccessful. Clouds OF
gas were swept back in the direction Of
the French.
"On the left bank Of the Meuse.
southeast of HsucOurt and west OF
Dead Man Hill, we have taken enemy
trenches. On the right bank Of the
river. in the Woevre plain and on the
heights near Combres. fighting activity

There is unquestionably consid-
cradle peace party in Germany,
which includes powerful financial in
terests represented by the Boerse or
gans and the "Frankfurter Zeitung,"
and including also the Berlin "Tage-
batt" and socialist organs. Certain
high officials also would consent TO a
breach or war with the United States
only most reluctantly and under
pressure of what seemed to them an
unavoidable necessity.
Harden Defends Wilson View.
1t may be not without significance
that Macmillan Harden was per-
rlitted to print a remarkable article
in his paper, "Zukunft," defending
President Wilson's standpoint in
plain words.
With the possible exception ~
handful Of extremists, there appears 20
be nobody in Germany desirous Of
breach or war with the United States.
Il is evident beyond doubt, however,
that if the government should reject
the demands of the American note re-
spectng submarine warfare IL would
find the united support OF Germans OF
all parties.
Even those 20 whom the idea Of
rupture between Germany and the
United States is most distasteful agree
in feeling that the government must
refuse 20 weaken its means OF warning
against Great Britain, though this
should mean q breach with the United
States.
A faint note Of optimism is sounded
by the "Vorwaerts," the organ Of the
Social Democratic party. but other pa
pers speak openly Of 'sn unavoidable
breach"
Press Calls II Wilson Note"
A striking feature in connection with
the whole matter il the fact that the
press almost unanimously speaks OF
WILSON'S note" and only in exceptional
cases of "the American note" Most Of
the papers disregard report. showing
that Congress is supporting President
Wilson, and the Post" declares that
Mr. Wilson "by no means has a safe
majority behind him"

pleasantly OF President Wilson as "a
short-slghted man desirous Of the vic
tory Of might. which will be Americas
greatest enemy IN the future" and de

tween the two countries "a virtually

Washington, April 23. Two strong
efforts to cut off the political career
of James r. Mann, Republican leader
of the House Of Representatives, have
developed as result Of his pro-Ger-
MN activities. One Of these efforts
comes from the Democrats. who are
hoping 20 beat him for reelection to
the House. The other. which is more
significant, comes from his former po-
l!tical friends, who plan to prevent
his election as Speaker should the
Republicans control the next House.
Sull a third move is already under
way TO prevent the Republican leader
from exercising any unusual power
at the Chicago convention. This last
IS by Republicans. who realize that,
10 matter aho is nominated, whether
Roosevelt, Hughes or Root, the cam
paign will be hampered by references
10 some of the interviews and votes
by Representative Mann.

nee for the Mayoralty of Chicago,

whelming majority on the German is

pealed to the majority of his ,on-

Mann's Pro-German Attitude.
The Democratic committee, il was
learned tonight. is compiling
pamphlet especially for circulation in
Mr.. Mann's district in Chicago, re-
printing editorials from Republican
and independent newspapers com
menting unfavorably on the vote. and
rtterances Of Mr.. Mann.
The Democrats say they have moth
ing harsher 20 say about Mr. Mann
than what the Republican and inde-
pendent newspapers have said, and It
is thought that there is more than a
possibility OF defeating the Republi-
can leader.
The chief criticism against Mr..
Mann Is his remark on the Presidents
note 10 Germany following the joint
session. when he declared: "The fact
is that Wilson is Scotch Presby-
terian and hates the Dutch
II is pointed out that haU Mr Mann
thrown his admitted influence the
other way on the McLemore resolution.
for instance, the result would have
been that, instead of l01. only hand
full of Republican members would have
voted TO surrender American rights on
the high seas. In the Senate. during
the same controversy. the Republican
leaders declared for the protection OF
American citizens everywhere.
