Adolf Yates, a German. is under ar
rest in Geneva on the technical
charge of attempted suicide, pend

Gcers from Buffalo. The discovery
OF a letter he had written, telling OF
visits to plants at Springfield, Mass,
and other cities, where he found
conditions all right and had flashed
a notice to the German agent for
transmission 10 Mexico" led to his
arrest. Later he attempted to Kill
himself with a knife. Yates arrly-

of war between Germany and AM
erica.
When Congress convenes Monday
in extraordinary session 1t is expect
ed that a state of war will be de-
clared to exist between Germany and
the United States. other possible
steps are a complete declaration Of
war or an approval of the armed neil
trality policy. 1t is doubtful, how
ever, il so mild a step as an approval
of the arming of ships would satisfy
the President. Mr.. Wilson has not
made public what he will advocate
in his address but a declaration of
a state of war is the most likely TN
less something between now anC
Monday happens to change the situa
tio1. In the meantime preparations
for war continue. Many militia reg
imen;s have been called out toi
guari duty and mastering out OF
guardsmen returning from and on
the border has b1tn discontinued.
The FIRST is the only Kentucky Mill
tia regiment now in the U. S. service
but the other two are expecting 20 be
called after Congress convencs, If
not before.
ine safe arrival of the American
liner st. Louis. bound for England,
is rer orted. Much interest is at,ac1-
ed to its unmolested voyage because
of the fact that it is the first Unitel
States vessel to enter the war zone
afer being armed.
The Allies continue to make gains
along the Western front but not so
rapidly as last week. The cavalry
seems to be playing big part in the
British maneuvers. There has been
but small changes on the Russian
front, the Germans apparently hav-
ing the advantage.

HURRAH FOR NEW ALLY
is FRENCH SENTIMENT

Paris, March 25.-"Hur7ah for our
new alliesn" says l.. Marcelin, 4 we'll
known political writer in IL Liberty
Thursday. This is the note taken
generally by the French press toward
the United States.
The news of the call of President
Wilson for a special session of Con-
gress and the military and naval pre-
parations being made in that coun-
try occupy dominant place in the
public mind today. Every French
man who has an American acquaint-
ance asks him when the United States
is coming into the war. The Temps,
in a. sober review OF the recent injur-
les the Americans have suffered at
the hands of the Germans, says:
THUS goes on in perfect calm the
thoughtful evolution that has led the
United States from neutrality, which
seemed her only possible course dur
ing two years, to the very threshold
Of state of war. II is inappreciable
that this evolution was accomplished
without our having done anything
artificial or fictitious to provoke or
accelerate it. 1t is verify the Ameri-
can conscience that has thought and
found its way. 1t is the American
conscience that has spoken in the
voice of President Wilson. Never
has more solemn verdict broken
German insolence."
The Temps alluded to the great aid
the entente allies would have were
the suggestion of w. P. G. Harding,
governor of the American Federal
Reserve Board, adopted regarding
credits for the entente.

Court in the Adamson decision in de-
claring that railroad employees have
10 right To strike IN concert. Ordin-
arily, such a decision would have
been blazoued abroad, even TO the
rcm2test country newspaper, but
either the publicity bureau has fallen
down in efficiency or the railroad
presidents ana their lawyers are wait
ing Tor something.
But absolute confirmation OF what
the ruling means comes from no less
authority than Samuel Gompers,
president, and Secretary Morrison.
Of the American Federation OF Labor,
who have had the "choek" TO file
with the Attorney General of the
United States a protest against this
declaration in the big decision. They
know.
It is true, as these leaders assert,
that tho court. went out of it's way
to lay down this great proposition,
and they also know that every Dis
trict Court I'm the United States,
under that decision, will grant AN in

little village perched above the vallcy

protest mingled with a spirit Of
proud resignation in his recital Of
the life at Noyennes during the two
and a half years of German control
"a civil Imprisonment which ended
Monday last when through field
glasses from the loft of his presby
terry the priest, who also was acting
Mayor, saw four khaki-clad horse
men on the ROAD and knew that the
Germans had gone and British re-
lief was at hand.
A few minutes later a French cav
airy patrol appeared and the Allies
had formed a new link in the pur-
suit Of the common foe. To-day the
booming Of the guns in this pursuit
could be heard over the stretch OF
eighty battle miles.

trenches, ribbons of barbed wire be-
hind them and a bit OF shell-torn
waste called mo mans land" had
isolated a section of the French peo-
pie from their country as effectually
as if they had been suddenly trans
planted to another hemisphere. He
told how in Voyennes women, child
rem and old men lived and toiled for
the invaders in utter ignorance OF
what was going on in the world
about them, just as other thousands
still shut within the German lines
are living, toiling and wondering to-
day. They were told long ago that
their beautiful Paris was to fall with
in a week and would be pillaged and
burned.
Later they were told Paris is

the French would be. saw an Off

cum his orderly so hard that the

soldiers only reply was to click his

Some OF the villagers asked tho
men why they submitted to such
treatment. They replied that they
were helpless now as part of a mill
tary machine. but when the war was
over their time would come. For n
long time now the German soldiers
have had no coffee and their rations
have been growing less and less. I
tell YOU with al solcmnity that when
