IF AMERICANS REALLY WERE

concerning the torpedoing of the Nor
wegian bark SIIius. in which, 1t is
said. an American was injured.

The report from Consul Osborne

was torpedoed without warning in
Havre roads on March 9. Seven
Americans aboard were rescued. The
consul's report did not give the ma
tionality of the submarine.
The case was held to be comparabI.
to the submarine attack on the liner
Orduna by German submarine la
July. A torpedo was fired at the Or
duna by a German submarine and an
attempt was made unsuccessfully to
shell the vessel when it put on steam
and outdistanced the submarine.
The points of similarity are that in
each case the lives of Americans were
placed in jeopardy. not lost by the
submarine attack. The State Depart
ment has no official information that
one of the Americans on the silius
was wounded. This came in news dis
patches from Paris and If true will
place an even more serious light on
the case.
In the orduna case the United States
made strong protest to the German
government. In replying the German
government admitted that the attack
on the orduna was not in accordance
with the existing instructions. which
provided for warning and rescue of
passengers and crew.
Secretary Lansing said yesterday no
action will be taken by the United
States until the facts are known.

Special to The Washington Head
New York, March lL-National pre-
paredness does not bring on war, but
liz is the most powerful agent in pre-
serving peace. That was the theme OF
a stirring address delivered by Maj. Gen.
Leonard A. Wood 1T the annual dinner
Of the Suffock County Society at the
Hotel Astor tonight.
Organization and preparation do not
tend to disturb conditions Of peace" said
Gen. Wood, but rather make the would
be disturber Of peace more thoughtful
of the cost, and consequently more con-
sentative.
THE people whom preparedness most
concerns both from their number and
the unfortunate result of the absence
of preparedness. are the men and the
wives and families of the men who in
war constitute the rank and file Of the
armies Of the world.
They have and We desire for them
better possible destiny than to become
food for powder. But VIC must not for
set that we are confronted by a situa-
ton and not dealing with a theory, that
while We work for world peace as an
ultimate object, We must not be forget
full OF the fact that We arc living In a
time OF war, and that we must make
prompt and adequate preparation not for
it. but as an insurance against it.
Preparedness Definition.
Preparedness is something which goes
far deeper than a mere preparedness OF
the army and navy through the creation
of new regiments or building number
of ships. Real preparedness must rest
upon a moral preparedness or moral or
ganization which will make our people
think in terms Of the nation and its in
terests and welfare rather than in terms
of the state, locality or personal in
terests.
Many people claim that preparedness
induces war. This statement is wholly
unsound An international hiEhwayman

Just as the burglar avoids the we'll

I'VE must remember one thing, and
that is, it is the strong, well-preparcd
nation which decides whether it is 10

After "a Hots,s of Fighting,
Teutons Get Foothold
in Village.
BOTH ARMIES RESTING
Attack Launched in Aisne
Sector Results in Driv-

Washington Herald.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London, March n.-After ~twenty-four
hours of furious fighting, the Germans
have gained a new foothold in the viii
lage of Vaux, and have won complete
control of the Corbeaux and Cumieres
woods. The German drive into Vaux,
marking their greatest gain of the week,
is admitted by the French war office.
Exhausted by their tremendous efforts,
the men of both armies tonight are rest
ing on their arms while the artillery
is keeping up a bitter duel The fire is
most intense in the region OF Dousumont.
West of the Mouse it has fallen off to
some extent, according to the Paris mid
night statement, which also asserts that
during the afternoon no infantry actions
took place at any point of the front
Drive in Aisne Sector.
Simultaneous with their attacks against
Verdun, the Germans launched a deter
mined attack in the Aisne sector. They
drove in a French salient at Ville-aux-
Bots. eleven miles northwest of Rheims,
breaking through the French lines on a
front of almost a mile, for depth OF
three-quarters of a mile. Twelve French
officers Y men, revolver cannon, FIVE
machine guns and thirteen rnine-throw-
ers were captured.
Paris admits that the Germans pene-
trated the French positions in this re-
gion, but declares that by counter-at-
tacks the greater part Of the ground was
regained. A sharp artillery engagement
is being waged over the contested terri
tory.
The scene of this latest German
offensive is a point where the German line
approaches closest to Paris. The action
is viewed by French critics more az an
attempt by the Germans to prevent the
concentration OF reserves at Verdun by
keeping French troops engaged on other
sections Of the front than as a serious
movement
Germans Mile Nearer.
The French report, which admits the
loss Of section OF Vaux. states that Ger
man troops also are approaching the fort
of that name, having progressed up the
surrounding slopes.
