ADDRESS BY JANE ADDAMS ON
 PACIFTSM AND PATRIOTISM
Received With Profound Silence by
 Audience at Evanston, III.

Chicago, June 1O.-Profound silence followed an address by Miss JanL' Addams on "Pacifsm and Patriot ism in Time of War" at the First Congregational church at Evanston today Finally Orrin N. Carter, chief justice of the state supreme court and a member of the class, jumped to his feet.
 q have been a lifelong friend of Miss Addams" Justice Carter said. 'I have agreed with Her on most questions in the past"
 That sounds as if you were going to break with me-" interru pted Miss Addams, laughingly.
 'T am going to break" the justice retorted. 'I think anything that may tend to cast doubt on the justice of our cause in the present war is very unfortunate No pacifism until the war is over"
 In the course of her address Miss Addams said:
 "The feeling of German born Amer ican citizens should have been con sidered before war twas declared. Since the European war began the United States has had a feeling of moral shirlling. This is a spirit of fatalism working against the spirit of materialism. The United States owes too much to all nations who have come here to till her broad prai- ries to allow the women and children of any nation to starVe. The United States should tell her allies she is starving women and children.
 The pacifist is making a venture into a new international ethics. He is afforded an opportunity to cultivate fine valor. Opposition to the war is not necessarily cowardice."

Invited Russia to Send PIenipotenti-
 aries if She Wished to Know the German Conditions--Specified Ob-
 jects for Which Entene is Fighting.

 German Commanders Message.
 The German commander declared in his message that his country with her allies, was ready to meet the fre- quently expressed desire of the Rus sian soldiers delegates and end the bloodshed by concluding a peace hon. orable to both sides, thereby re-estab- fishing the former neighborly rela- tions and giving economic support for Russia. The message invited Russia to send plenipotentiaries if she wished to know the German conditions but at the same time to abstain from de- manding the publication of these con- d1t1ons so long IS she considered her self bound by the secret treaties made hy former governments for the pur- pose of destroying Germany and her allies"
 Specified Entente's Objects.
 The message then specified the ob- jects for which Germany's enemies were declared to he fighting. These were said to include the possession of the German colonies, Alsace and Lorraine, Triest, ConstantinopIe, the partition of Asia Minor and the lew ing of a heavy indemnity upon the central powers
 The radiogram closed by affirming 2 Germany's continued ability to fight On all fronts, instancing preV@cus sim ultaneous operations in VoIhynia. Ru- mania, on the Isonzo and the Somme Consequently, it was declared. she need not denude the eastern front of troops and threatened that if the cen tral powers were forced to continue the war with the consequent vast military outlay their military objects inevitably would become more exten- sive.

 In the Austro-Italian theatre the fighting is being done entirely by the artillery wings of the opposing armies. There has been no attempt at a re- sumption by the Italians of their great offensive on the Carso front, but from the fact that reconnoitering parties are being sent out to survey the new positions of the Austrians, another great battle probably is not far dis tant.
 In Macedonia, especially along the Vardar river sector, artillery duels are in progress.
