Senator Jonnart represents France,

THE PRESIDENT TELLS WHY
AMERICA IS IN THIS WAR;

In a communication to the new
Russian government President Will
son explained why this country was
at war and the aims which it hoped
to attain. The communication is
somewhat lengthy and argumentative
but the following extracts show the
trend of the, Presidents thoughts:
.aG 'The war has begun to go against
Germany, and in their desperate de.
sire to escape the inevitab BILE, i>ulti-
mate defeat, those who are in au-
thority in Germany are using every
possible instrumentality, are making
use even of the influence of groups
and parties among their own subjects
to whom they have never been just
or fair or even tolerant. to promote
a propaganda on both sides of the
sea which will preserve for them
their influence at home and their
power abroad, to the undoing of the
very men they are using.
1.-THE position of ,+Americazin this
war is so clearly avowed that no man
can be excused for mistaking it. She
seeks no material profit or aggran-
dizement of any kind. She is fighting
for no advantage or selfish object of
her own, but for the liberation of
peoples everywhere from the agrees
sions of autocratic force

BATTLE TIDES FLOWING AGAINST
THE KAISER.

Nowhere have the kaiser's lines
been advanced this spring. Every
where the trend of battle has been
against the central powers. During
the past week the British struck the
German line in Belgium such saw
age blow that it went staggering back
ward upwards of five miles. This
attack will rank among the notable
events of the war and will be known
as the battle of Messines, But worse
by far for the kaiser than the loss of
a single battle is the abdictation of
his brother-in-law, King Constantine
of Greece.
This will give the Greeks chance
to fight Turkey, their racial and his
toric enemy; chance to join the
league of nations that is. fighting for
human rights; chance to oppose
the league of nations that is fight
ing to keep autocracy upon it's throne.
Greece has a seasoned army of
100000 men and with it's aid the al
lies should be able to cut the line of
communication between Turkey and
the Central Powers.

AMERICAS ANSWER.
From New York World


The registration statistics of Tues
day are the American answer to the
new propaganda in Germany which
has undertaken to convince the Ger
man people that this is wilson's
war" and that it is without popular
support or approval. nj
On the day that The Worlds cor
respondent cabled from Stockholm
that the whole German press was CIV
ing great prominence to dispatches
purporting to describe the widespread
resistance to CONSUMPTION. approx
mately 100000 men of the ages of
81 to 80 inclusive were registering
for service under the new Army law
This registration was accompan-
led by less disorder than national
election. There have been elections
in which there was more trouble in
a single Assembly district than there
was throughout the whole United
States when these 100000 men reg
istered in obedience to an act Of Con-
gress. All the riots that were planned
by agitators and German agents went
a-glimmering. The country rallied to
the Compulsory Service law as it raj
lied to the declaration of state of
war.
The Vossische Zeitung informs its
readers that the Liberty Loan is q
Colossal failure" and that the results
have had "a crushing effect" upon the
spirit of Great Britain. The Liberty
Loan is failing in the same way that
CONSUMPTION failed. In other words,
it is on it's way to a great patriotic
triumph; but will the German people
ever discover the truth about the sue
cess of either? We may we'll doubt it..
The German government certainly
does not want them to know the truth.
The newspapers print what the Gov
eminent demands, and so we may safe
ly assume that for the duration of the
war the German people will continue
to think that the American people
have no heart in the conflict and that
it is a war which the Government is
carrying on in defiance of public opin-
ion. By the time the facts begin to
leak in, the German government will
be engaged in diverting them with a
new propaganda designed to deceive
them about another phase of the war.
Yet while the German people may be
kept in ignorance, it is no small thing
that the German government is fully
informed as to what is going on in the
United States and that it can draw no
comfort from the facts. It knows the
of an army registration that
records the names of 10000 900 men o.
age. It will understand the
of the Liberty Loan when
the total subscriptions are announced
1t has no delusions rs 10 what has &C
tually been accomplished in the way OF
checking submarine warfare. 1t al
ready realizes that the United States
is on the job and that the American
people have enlisted for 100 pc, cent.
war.
The registration figures alone are
the kind of military information that
the German General Staff never mis-
reads and never misinterprets.
