Acquire Much Territory

HSqulfe MuCn IeFFltOry BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Oct. 22.-The attack made by the French and British troops this morning over a limited front astride the Ypres- -Staden railway had at the latest report, resulted in the acquire ment of considerable territory desired for the improvement of the allied po- sltions in this sector. The zone in volved extended roughly from Poefea- belle to the southern edge of HoutholSt forest.
 Notwithstanding the very bad c0ndi- tlon of the ground, due to recent rains, the allies pushed their line forward several hundred yards, over most of this front, and at one point on the left of the attacking front had pene- trated the German lines to depth of two thirds of mile. The much fought over brewery in the eastern environs of Poelcapelle seems again to have been occupied by the British who also took the strongly fortified Mouner 1 house to the east of the town
 In the region of Poelcapelle the Brit ish this afternoon were holding po- sitions five hundred yards in advance of their old line, along front of about mile. Just north of here on both sides of the Ypres- -Staden railway 1 heavy fighting was tsill in progress. the Germans having delivered viol-t ent counter attack along the railway in the forenoon.
 The greatest gain was achieved south of the Houtholst forest Here

Noble Exposition Of
Great National Resolve
Says Asquith Of the.
Presidents S Message
(By Associated Press.)

London, April e.-Former Premier
Asquith has given the following state
ment to The Associated Press:
There is not a man among us who
does not breathe more freely now
that he knows that the whole English
speaking race is to fight side by side
in the most momentous struggle in
history. The presidents speech will
live as a noble exposition Of a great
national re- I've.
"The people Of the United States
have been forced, as the United King
dom was forced, into the struggle
which in neither case was of our own
seeking. They have realized, as we
have realized, that the choice lay be-
tween peace with humiliation and war
with honor.
"The provocation in the two cases
was different, but in both the chal-
lenge was one which neither nation
could refuse to take up without the
betrayal of the sacred trust which is
imposed upon all free peoples-to up
hold liberty and humanity.
''Never have the fundamental is
sues at stake been -ated with more
precision or greater elevation OF
thought and language than in the

New York, April 6.-Seizure Of Ger
man merchant ships in American
harbors began today when word was
flashed that the resolution declaring
the existence of a state Of war be-
tween the imperial government or
Germany and the United States finally
had passed both houses of congress.
Members of the crews were removed
and placed under guard in barracks,
hospitals or other buildings while arm
ed troops or marines took charge OF the
captured vessels.
Twenty seven vessels which sought
refuge in New York harbor at the
beginning Of the European war were
taken here.
Among them were the Hamburg,
Koenig Wilhelm ii. Prinz Eitel Fried
rich, Prinz Joachim and Allemannia.
These ships total 1912 tons Their
forty-one officers and 173 sailors were
taken to Ellis island pending orders
as to the disposition of them.
Captain Leitner of the Koenig Will
held III and several sailors protested
against this procedure saying they had
American citizenship papers. 1t was
decided to detain them until their
status was announced in Washing
ton.
The Austrian steamer Budapest ly-
ing by the side of the Arcadia at New
port News raised the Austro- Hun
garian flag. She was neither boarded
nor disturbed by government officers.

Never in the history Of civilized ma
tions has such step been taken, and
the United States would be the very
last to take such step, even were II
fact, in troubled times such as these,
banks are the one safe place to deposit
our ,valuables. 1t is the tin teapot
savings which are in jeopardy, if any.
Everyone should know that President
Wilson has laid particular emphasis
upon the pledge that German citizens
will be fully protected in their rights
and property. The rumors are mali
cious and should be denied as false
hoods, whose sole purpose Is to stir
up emnity and embarrass the state
and nation.

presidents address.
THE present German warfare, he
points out, is a war against all ma
tions: and the animating motive of
the allies is not vindictive y, but
vindication-the vindication OF those
human rights which are the natural
bond of the whole family of civilized
societies.
ITO this great purpase the American
people now dedicate their lives and
fortunes-as we have already dedi-
Gated ours-conscious that they are
obeying one Of those supreme calls
which come but rarely in history but
which, when they come, sound In the
ears Of a community Of free men with
a note Of imperious demand.
I'VE, on this side of the Atlantic.
have never presumed to dictate or
even suggest to our kinsmen in the
United States what their course
should be but we have in our heart
of hearts longed that the time might
come when, their strength might be
Joined wi" ours. That day has come
and we believe it's sun shall not set
