Petrograd, via London, Feb. 23.-Ad-

lister sazonoff reviewed thA> war situa-
tion In a most optimistic way. altho he
declared it was more difficult now than
ever before. to fozesee the end of the
world struggle.
''The imperial government remains
unshakep in its determination to con-
tinue the struggle to conquer the
enemy" he said. This war is the
greatest crime Of high treason against
humanity. Those who provoked it bear
a great responsibility.
I'VE know who it was that let loose
the misfortunes without number with
which Europe Is oppressed. Even. Ger
man public opinion is beginning to
realize that the German people have
been the dupes OF those who thought
the hour had come to realize the dream
OF plunder they had cherished so long.
When dealing with an enemy like
Germany we must take thought in good
time how best to prevent the repetition
of the events which occurred so rapidly
eighteen months ago. Self preservation
demands putting an end to the ruth
less egoism and passion for plunder
which are the distinctive characterist-
les of Prussianism and they must be
crushed once for all. Otherwise the
sacrifices Of the allies would be vain."

French and English Have For u. 8.
Chicago, Feb. 22.-George F. Porter
has returned to Chicago after his sec
ond observation of England and France
In war time. His second trip was of
four months duration. He was at the
front three times, and spent an entire
week at DIR. De Pages hospital at
LIE Panne, behind the Belgian lines.
Asked to give some of his observa-
tions on the attitude Of the allied coun-
tries toward the United States, Mr.
Porter made the following statement:
II should like to say something to
protest against the impression, which
seems general in America, that the
English and French are bitter against
America and Americans.
Nothing could be more contrary to
my experiences. In the first place they
do not think as much about us and our
attitude as we do about them. To us
It is everything. To them 1t is but one
phase Of the great struggle One day
their attention Is called to Greece, an
other to Sweden and another. to the re-
ceipts OF some note to America. Not

Eye Witness Tells
Of Destruction of
German Raider

Paris, Feb. 23.-An eye witness of
the destruction of the Zeppelin LIZ n
by French gunners on Monday, north
west of Barleduc, thus describes the
exploit:
Two Zeppelins were signalled at
1925 o'clock at night by an artillery
officer in listening post in the first
line trenches of the Argonne. The night
was clear and the wind moderate. The
officer could not see the airships but
heard the noise of the engines. and tel
ephoned to the battery base whence
the news was forwarded to the army
corps headquarters. All the batteries
were on the alert and shortly search
lights were sweeping the heavens.
"The Zeppelins were first sighted by
an officer commanding battery OF To-
millimetre guns. The nearest then was
about two miles off flying at an alti-
tude of about 5000 feet and rising
rapidly The second Zeppelin was some
three miles behind the first. The Off
Ger was unable to get the elevation
necessary to hit the airshlps but he
managed to give the exact position to
the searchlight operators. From that
moment the first dirigible was never
lost to view. AS it was moving against
the wind its progress was relatively
slow.
'tAs soon as the warning reached
Revigny, five automobiles with search
lights and with special anti-aircraft
guns manned by naval gunners,
started in pursuit.
1.-The guns on the moving automo-
biles opened fire as soon as they came
within range. A shell burst just be-
hind the Zeppelin, throwing it into
strong relief and Immediately the gun
ners seized their opportunity. Another
shell passed over the target, but a
third hit the mark squarely. There
was a shout Of triumph from the
Frenchmen, the shell appeared to go
thru the body of the airship and to ad-
here to the right side of the frame
work which it set on fire. A few Sec
onds later two other shells went thru
the rear Of the car, badly damaging
the steering and elevating mechanism
For an instant nothing seemed to hap
pen and then q thin red line crept
along the side of the airship which
shone with a. bright ruddy glow as the
flames spread and moved upward. No
explosion was heard as the Zeppelin
began to fall. 49,
''The great mass, now blazing more
and more fercely, descended slowly as
blazing fragments Of the covering fut-
tered in the wind. ~ f
THE second Zeppelin, which had
witnessed the disaster to it's compan-
ion, turned tail and hurried back to the
German lines.
1T is believed that the Zeppelins be-
longed to the crown princes army. The
invaders had hoped to steal across the
French lines unpreceived and all the
lights in the gondolas having been ex-
tinguished the head wind proved an
obstacle to the speed which is so es-
sential to the success of an undertake
ing of the Kind"

WITH HIS WISHES
Little Probability Of Adoption Of Cores
Resolution to Warn Americans OF
6eIIissrent Merehantmen-Germany
Lodges Formal Protest Against Seiz-
ure Of Steamship Appam by United
States Deputy Marshals.

Washington, Feb. 23.-President VIII
son is unchanged in his opposition to
having congress passing any resolution
warning Americans to keep off armed
merchantmen Of the European bellig-
erents, and congress leaders have been
so advised. It was stated authorita-
lively today that discussion of such a
move did not come up at the confer
ence Of the president Monday night
with Chairmen Stone and Flood, Of the
congress committees of foreign affairs,
and Democratic Leader Kern, but was
revived in quite another way.
The official account is that Senator
Smith, of Georgia. recently went to
Senator Stone to discuss the form In
which such resolution might be intro
duced. It was said Senator Stone op-
posed such resolution.
congressman who were at the White
House today said there was consider
able discussion of Senator Cores res
olution to warn Americans off bellig-
erent merchantmen but that there was
very little prospect Of passing 1t un-
less desired by the administration.
Formal Protest by Germany.
Formal representations were made to
the state department today by the Ger
man embassy against the proceedings
brought in the federal courts at Nor
folk to return the captured British
liner Appam to her owners.
In a note presented by Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador, ii
is contended that many precedents as
/ well as the terms Of the Prussian-
American treaty provide that no legal
actin can lie against the Appam1 3held
by q German crew as a prize of war
nor against Lieutenant Berg, her COM
mander. 1t is also contended that mas
much as Lieutenant Berg has extra
territorial rights no legal action can lie
against him.
The note suggests that when the
case comes up in court. March 2, that
the state department inform the court
of the terms Of the treaty. ~
Want Trained Young Men.
"The military affairs committee is
of the opinion that we do not need a
large standing army but that we do
need at all times large body of young
men, we'll trained and well educated,
said Representative McKeller of Ten
nessee, submitting to the house today
a favorable report on his bill to es-
tablish and maintain military training
schools in the various states.
Former Secretary Garrison had ap-
proved the bill.
Canal Doesn't Solve Naval Problem.
Rear Admiral Badger. of the navy

party caucuses were held to decide on
the principal speakers and the attitude

says the Overseas News Agency. "The

The progressive party, comprising
the right wing Of the progressive bloc
suggested that the platform of the bloc
ought to include demand for parlia-
mentary government with responsible
ministers. This proposal was not sup
ported by a majority of the bloc.
The nationalists decided to state
their positions only after bearing the
declaration Of the bloc. The socialist

Denial Of BuIgar Atrocities.
Advices from Sofia state that a let
ter has been issued to the Bulgarian
press by American physicians attached
to the hospital Of Lady Paget, at Us
kup," says the Overseas News Agency.
In this letter the physicians refute
the calumnies spread by Richard
Schellens In regard to the Bulgarian
troops. They express deep regret that
an American should spread such un-
truths concerning country In which
they are permitted to move freely.
"The physicians state that up to the
present time they have received no
proof to a single atrocity ascribed to
the Bufgarians."
CRichard schellens, an American,
arrived in London last month from US
skup. He charged the Bulgarians with
