HERE Is TIE pRnnE.

nEMOCRATIC leaders who wish to minimize the
- seriousness Of the break between Secretary Gar
rison and President Wilson deny that the President
was ever, in the slightest degree committed to the
Garrison plans for national defense Lest there be
any doubt on that point IL will be well to call TO mind
the message delivered to Congress by the President
on December last
IL IS with these ideals in mind that the plans of the
department of War for more adequate national de-
tense were conceived which will be laid before vo,
and which urge you to sanction and nut into eject
as soon as they can be properly scrutnized and dis
cussed They seem to me the essential first stem and
they seem TO me for the present sufficient"
II was after Mr. Wilson discovered the attitudo o,
certain sections Of the country toward the Garrison
plan. which received his executive sanction thai b
performed the classic Wilson flop and from the entire
plan which, for political purposes he had espoused

Democratic member Of Congress pertnently remarked
when news Of the Garrison resignation reached his
1T is not much question of what plan is
most meritorious; il is the necessity for making de-
cision. If to dodge all the map trying to
square ourselves with every section Of the country il
will end with the entire country losing confidence in
us And for that matter the entire country has lost
confidence in the President and his followers.

RUSS GAIN ON TWO FORTS
ply Line of German Forces
Teutons May Fall Back.

Petrograd, March 27.-The sudden
development Of a Russian offensive
on the Dvinsk front, which has taken
the Germans by surprise, has during
the last week resulted in a considera-
BILE advance by the Russians over two
of the most important sectors-at ia
cobstadt, which protects the northern
flank, and in the Narocz lake region,
which defends the southern positions
At neither point were the Germans
able to stay the Russian advance. The
main Russian effort is being made on
the southern portion of this line,
where the Russians are proceeding
toward Sventsiany. If pushed to a
successful conclusion this movement
would result in the capture of the i'm.
portant VilnaDvinsk railway line.
which now serves the Germans oper-
ating at Dvinsk According to re-
ports from the front the Germans, rec
ognizing the probability of such a dis
aster, already have removed their de-
pots and supply stations to a point
west of Novo Alexandrovsk.

FIVE AMERICANS DIE ON
TORPEDOED STEAMER
From Fifty to Eighty Persons Per-
Ished on the Sussex-Craft
lowed to Port.

London, March 27.-The number of
Americans who lost their lives az a
result OF the torpedoing OF the channel
steamer Sussex is row placed at five.
The names OF the % American pas
sengers were checked up energetical-
iy by the American embassy, and as a
result several whose fate had been In
survivors. Likewise several thought
to have been saved are now declared
TO have persisted.
According TO the latest revised list
OF the rescued and missing, the fate
OF the following is in doubt:
Prof. j. Mark Baldwin.
Mrs. j. Mark Baldwin.
Miss Elizabeth Baldwin, their daugh-
ter
Joshua T. Armitage, New York
Callioppe Fennel. New York.
Reports said Miss Baldwin was In
Boulogne hospital and that her ia
Their and mother were with her. A tele-
gram from Boulogne to the owners
OF the Sussex says also that Miss Bald
win was among the Americans who ar
rived there, but there is believed to be
doubt about the accuracy of the re-
port.
According to French dispatches, the
majority of survivors of the Sussex,
both Americans and those of pther
nationalities, assert the vessel was
torpedoed and that there is no ques-
ton of any warning having been
given.
None of them saw a mine or indi-
cations Of one, whereas the greater
part of those whose stories have been
given assert they saw the wake of
torpedo.
The total number of victims is still
unknown. 1t is estimat I'd between
fifty and eighty
Miss Edna Hale, an American resi-
dent of London, with relatives and
friends in New York, said that the
captain of the Sussex expressed the
opinion that his vessel was struck
by a torpedo as 'he saw it's silver
streak" Miss Hale thinks, however.
the disaster was caused by a mine.
