If all the reports are true con
cerning this man, which no doubt
they are, the metal poiishers were

BRITISH VIEW OF
 U. S. ENTRY INTO WAR.
Viscount Bryce Says 1t Will Tend to Bring the War to a Speedy Close.

l London, April 3, s.32 D. m-ReplyinE | to the question of The Associated Press l as to what difference Americas en- | trance in the war would make to Eu- rope, now and hereafter. Viscount
 Bryce. the former British ambassador l at Washington, said today: T would say that it will be of the | highest importance in three ways and | It gives the keenest pleasure to AmarA rust bring the war to a speedier close i not only by the material aid, in money and men and in the supply of food to the allied countries. America can rem der, but also by the moral effect her participa ton will produce on the Ger | man people and the German armies i They will now see that success has for them become impossible. Demoraliza- lion must increase and resistance weaken.
 l Secondly. America comes in from no selfish motives, but as the champion outraged by the German methods of 1 conducting the war. She stands by the allies in their effort to vindicate human rights. to respect for which the
 blow.
 Thirdly, the world has for nearly a century and a half known and ad-
 mired America as a country which has Fre-eminently loved and prized free dom and given sympathy Go all who strove for it. She is snow rendering l help of incalculable value to the cause of freedom.
 President Wilson, in his lofty and
 impressive address worthy of the oc- casion that called it forth has rightly oWeIt on the fact that it is the Ger man government, rather than the Ger ] man people. that is responsible for the series Of crimes committed by land and sea during this war. The German peo- pie, hitherto fed by their government upon lies, will now begin to realize that it is the military caste which dominates them that has by it's ruth less savagery reused against Germany the horror and indignation of the new as well as the old world. We may now hope that they will shake off the yoke and bring themselves. as the Russian people have done. into the fellowship of those free nations whose govern ments would not dare to perpetrate such crimes.
 Never has better blow been struck Tor democratic freedom than that which America is now dealing to the last of the despotisms that remain in

MAYOR MITcHEL'S CHARGES
 AGAINST SENATOR WAGNER
Did Not Intend to Infer He Was Dis
 loyal to This Country.

Albany. N. Y. April 3.-when Mayor John P. Mitchell of New York stated that the opposition of Senator Robert B. Wagner to the passage of the Mills ROckaway Notifications bill indicated that the senator was working more in the interests of Germany than in the interests of the United States, he did rot intend to charge the legislator with conscious and intentional disloyaIty to this country. This declaration was made by the mayor late today while under cross examination before the bar of the senate on charges of having made a false and malicious report con corning Senator Wagner in his legis- lative ca pacity.
 Friends of Senator Wagner inter preted Mayor Mitche"s explanation as 6 vindication of the senator's patri- otism. The senator's friends pointed cut that the mayors statement that he did not mean to accuse him of deljb- crate disloyalty had removed from MT. MitchePs comment on the senator's legislative conduct the principal cause for grievance. The hearing will be re- Sumed tomorrow.

ton to Standardize prices for army
 supplies and munitions, but 1t has been
 discovered that under the national de-
 fense act of June 3, 1916, the supplying
 of all kinds of material is made obli-
 gatory on all firms and individuals at
 "a reasonable price to be determined
 by the secretary of war" In case of
 violations the government is author
 ized to seize plants and institute
 criminal proceedings. So far, however,
 firms generally have indicated entire
 willingness to cooperate with the gov
 ernment.
 The corridors of the war and navy
 departments were busy today and an
 air of suppressed excitement prevailed
 n all offices. Immediate preparations
 must be made to double or treble the clerical forces of both departments to meet the coming strain. New quar- ters must be found to house the new civil elements. Buildings near the state. war and navy structure are be- ing looked over for this purpose Only one big move in preparation for war remains to be made in the navy department That is mobilization of the naval militia and the various class es of the naval reserve. The former will go on the reservsehips of the line filling out skeleton crews and making the ships ready for action. From the latter will come the men for the coast patrol and submarine chaser services as we'll as additional men for line ships.
 Probably 5000 men could be added to the navy personnel at once by this mobilization. It has been estimated that double that number woald be re- quired for full patrol of the Atlantic
 coast by motor boats. It seems prob l able that unless sufficient volunteers respond promptly, the universal service system may be invoked to fill up the navy's ranks.

in the experience of Captain Stanley
Borleska of the Portland, Oregon,
troops at the same camp. Borleska
was member Of the University of
Michigan football and track teams in
1914 and was chosen for the mythical
all-star western intercollegiate foot
ball and track teams that year. He
told Bagley what the 'Y" had meant
to him. He said: when I came into
this camp I wondered how l was going
to keep in physical condition. l saw
no opportunity or place to do any train
ing. You Y. M. G. A. fellows have
sort of made opportunities for me to
recreate and exercise, for since | have
been here, I've averaged three even
ings each week out with my company

To keep up this work in America,
to follow the soldiers and sailors across
the seas and to extend the same serv-
ices to our allies, the Y. M. G. A. is
conducting a great nationwide cam
paign for $35, 900 from November
