German, Americans
and Won Bernstorff
Criticized in Berlin

Amsterdam, via London, April 13.-
Captain Persius, writing in the Berlin
Tageblatt, criticizes those who treat
Americas entry into the war lightly.
ut would be fatal mistake" he
said, Ito regard Americas economic
strength as the only important factor
for an enemy. The military strength
of the United States is not to be met
with a shrug of the shoulders, other
wise we shall make the same mistake
we did about the military strength of
England"
Otto Hoetsch, a political writer, re-
viewing the German n-American clash
in the Kreuz Zeitung, contends that
Germany has a perfect right to make
her own international law as far as
submarines are concerned and also for
neutrals, for whose fueure. he says,
Germany is fighting. He charges that
America was never neutral since the
beginning Of the war, which he says
would have been over long ago had not
America abetted the allies.
Germany" he says. played into the
hands of our opponents. The German
embassy at Washington should be
blamed for this. It was the weakest
spot in the whole diplomatic service.
Apart from its glaring mistakes, the
embassy lacked an understanding of
American psychology, the best proof of
this being the failure of the whole
German propaganda. It Is to the
kaisers lasting credit that he made
every effort to hold the friendship of
America. We do blame the German
Americans who failed to recognize
their duty to their fatherland."

ment by the war department. printed in
papers thruout the United States, that
the department was ready to waive the
three-year reserve clause in tho ma

enlistment for the period Of the war to-
day acted as stimulus to recruiting.
It was stated that the three-year re-

the greatest drawback to eniistments
and that many men who would have en-
listed in the guard have gone to the reg
ular army because Of the clause.
Estimates by the adjustant general

PROGRESS FARTHER NORTH.
Mile Of Hindenburg Line ls Taken BY
British Troops,

MuO OF nInoenour0 Line 10 Jaken by
British Troops.
lAssociated Press Correspondence.]
With the British Armies in France,
via London, April 1S.-With improved
weather conditions there was stiff
\ fighting along virtually two thirds oc
the British front today. In addition to
the gain made In the new attack be-
tween Hardicourt and Metz EN- Couture
the British are making progress farther
north.
Another mile Of the Hindenburg line
has been taken. givingla total width Of
three and one-half miles to the turning
4 movement at the top OF the famous po-
gsition.
In falling back the Germans are MAX
" ing in the direction Of an emergency
auxiliary line to the rear Of the Hin
denburg line, called the Hardicourt-
Queant line. Work on this position is
! far from complete and the Germans
seem to have no idea Of using it except
i as last resort. They are now fighting
under orders to delay the British ad-
\ vance at every possible point to COM
y plete the work Of making the new works
I defensible.
Depended on Hindsnburs Line.
On retiring from the Somme the
y Germans apparently expected to hold
4 the Hindenburg line running southeast
Nof Arras thru st. Quentin and Laon.
Y The important point at the northern
end OF this line was vimy ridge There
no doubt the Germans never ex-
& pected to be driven off that ridge by a
! frontal attack as was done by the
Canadians on Monday
Anticipating northern offensive and
Z possible outfianking of the vimy posi-
i lions, the Drocourt- Queant switch,
3 running north from the Hindenburg
Il lire, was planned.
IN the meantime the Germans, driven
I back from their old positions. were en-
4 deavoring to dig themselves In, espe-
\ jciaily in front of Moncy-le-P -Preux in
9 which process they suffered heavy cas-
I ualties fro mthe artillery and machine
