AMERICAN LIVES FIRST.

Secretary Lansing is right. He hit
the key note and sounded the true
American spirit when he said in re-
cent speech that American lives must
be held above American property"
In the above utterance he voices the
sentiment Of all who love America. In
colonial days this was true, and in this
day it is still true. 1t was cur fathers
doctrine, and will be for generations to
come.
In the old days, the days CT the Revo-
luton, men forgot their worldly pos
sessions. They felt that great ma
ton was being born, and in accord
ance with this thought and belief they
fought to the best of their ability, the
best they knew how, and to what eff

their thoughts, and their ambitions.
From the Green Mountains men march

fought for the defense of the new ma
ton.
At the Battle of Bunker Hill we have
an evidence of valor and bravery, OF
what our forefathers could and did
accomplish.
Europe is war-mad, blinded by an
ger and lust after blood and gain
President Wilson realizes all this. He
has for the past year been most mod
crate and considerable of all nations
engaged. The result is that he has
dominated over Germany's aggressive
policy of submarine warfare, in short
he has brought order out of chaos, SO
far as Germany is concerned, and Is
now faithfully laboring with Great
Britain in an effort to bring about the
same satisfactory conditions as re-
CARDS neutral ships and American
mails. That he will succeed, we have
no doubt.
America cannot, nor will she give up
her rights, but it is far better to go at
these things as President Wilson is do
ing, in a diplomatic way.
We are neutral nation, and we
must act the part. President Wilson
may be perfectly impartial, but it is his
wish and he is acting the part of do
ing the best he can for the American
people whom he represents.

heat of passion, she is prone at this
time to rush to extremes. All fac
lions involved in this great war desire
the friendship of this country; at the
same time each is jealous of the other.
1t is, therefore, incumbent upon this
country, being the greatest of neutral
powers, to exercise the greatest dill
gence that when the war is over and
peace once more reigns that Uncle Sam
saw his duty and done it."
1t is a fine diplomatic game to play,
but the American people may rest as
snred that President Wilson can and
will play it to the good of the old
U. s. A.

how trying was this period and how
great your relief when you knew on
May 81 that the enemy had been
sighted The unfavorable weather con

vented that complete result which you
expected. but you did all possible in
the circumstances. You drove the enc

him very severe losses You added
another page TO the glorious traditions
Of the British navy. You could not
do more. For your splendid work

not withdrawn troops from the Tren-

nights official statement. Belief is ex-
pressed that such withdrawal will be-
come more difficult because Of the
counter-offe which the Italians
are now maintaining. The statement
follows:
Continued severe fighting around
our positions on the southern edge Of
the Asiago Basin shows that the enemy
is stubbornly persisting in his original
scheme Ris offensive indicates that
events on the eastern front have not
materially affected his activity in the
Trentino. No withdrawal of any forces
has taken place from the latter, and
/ this will be all the more difficult as
time goes on in view Of the counter
offensive we are now engaged in.

the Astico. our artillery and detach-
ments were active. The later assaulted
and dispersed advanced enemy posts,
taking some arms and ammunition.
Southwest Of Asiago the enemy re-
newed his violent efforts to break
through our lines. particularly between
Monte Lemerle and Monte Magnabos-
chi. On each occasion he was driven
back with very heavy losses.
Between the Frenzala Valley and
Marcesina our infantry continued to
advance. but was impeded by an in
tense fire from the hostile artillery
and by the strength and dispositions of
the enemy, who was in a difficult,
wooded country and had many machine
guns

engagenent Of the 10th shows that our

ALLIES CONFERENCE
COMPLETES ITS WORK
Paris Gathering a Union Against
War. Saws de BrOqueville.

Paris, June 1s.-The economic con-
ference Of the Entene Allies, before
adjourning yesterday, adopted unani-
mously resolutions which will be made
public next Wednesday in the allied
countries. Baron de Broqueville, Bel
gian Premier, in the closing address,
declared the purpose Of the conference
had been entirely realized. The inti-
mate collaboration for which a basis
had been formulated marked the open
ing of a new era, he said.
II was a profund error, Baron de
Broqueville declared, to admit that the
conference had been working for war,
while in truth it was preservative
and beneficial union against war. Lib
erty, honesty and justice would be
safeguarded, he asserted, and the con-
ference ignored any other motive. The
decision taken was new gauge OF con-
tinuity. said the baron. whose words
were formally approved by all dele
gates.
