OF the Ladies' Afternoon Euchre
Club ON Thursday.
Arizona republican., 1917-05-02

Joffre and probably Admiral Choche- prat will lunch informally at the White House and talk over war problems with the president personally.
 Late this afternoon the Frenchmen were the center of a demonstration of patriotic enthusiasm at a charitable eX- hibition of moving pictures of the bat tie of the Somme. Military members of the mission saw themselves in the films, and Secretary Lane, who pre- sided, delivered an address in which, after paying tribute to M. Viviani and Marshal Joffre, he said:
 An aide of Marshal Joffre has told me the true story of the Marne. Day after day the marshal sat at a map in his headuuarters. moving the flag of France back toward Paris and the flag of Germany forward as the armies of Prussianism swept on. The Marne was reached, and Joffre, tired of moving the flags toward Paris, suddently wrote on a slip of paper we shall stand at the Marne and die there if necessary. This has gone far enough. That was the spirit of France then and today Myron T. Herrick, former ambas- sador to France, also spoke.
 Tonight the leading members of the mission were the guests of honr at a l dinner given by Chief Justice White. 1 Both the French and British missions will be invited to visit the house of representatives at their convenience | It is doubtful whether the French wis., : itors can appear in the house until after their tour of eastern and middle western states which begins Thursday

 Various conferences between the military, naval and economic sections of the French mission and representa- tives of the United States continued to- day. Also there was an independent conference at the official residence of the mission tonight between it's lead ing members and Ambassador Jusse- rand. While no announcement was made regarding any of the discussions, off, cials attached to the mission made it plain that they were highly satisfied with the work accomplished and the outlook for the future.

NEW YORK, May 1.-AimarO Sato, the Japanese ambassador, speaking here tonight at a dinner of the Eco homie Club, declared that real Amer icanism has turned the balance in the world conflict and that the war will not end until universal peace has been assured to mankind" He predicted that within a few weeks China would join the allies.

De Car tier de Marchienne, the Belgian minis ter; Ignacio CalderOn, the Bolivian minister; BelisariO Porras, the minister from Panama; Sir Ernest Shactleton, the explorer; James w. Gerard, W. C. Wei, secretary of the Chinese legation at Washington, and Alexander Pe- trunkevitch.
 Ambassador Da Cana of Brazil ex- pressed the belief that at the end of the war there vii be "a united America in front of Europe"
 Professor Petrunkevitch, speaking of the situation in Russia, asserted danger was involved in the selection of an American commission to visit that country He charged that the Russian socialistic press here had created a sus- piciOn that the American commission lis going to Russia to fight the social democracy now in power
 If the Germans are able to break through the Russian front" he said. Great Britain and this country may have to fight five years longer"
 Sir Ernest Shackleton said he was confident that in America are the brains to deal with the German sub marine menace.
 Ambassador Calderon declared that every democratic country should par ticiOate in the struggle against Ger many.
 MT. Gerard told how prisoners of war in Germany, "are leased out to farmers in much the same manner as convicts are leased out to farmers in the south.'
 Speaking of the German people, MT. Gerard said their spirit lis such as they want to go on, but they realize how useless it is to do so."
 Ambassador Sato declared that whatever the origin of the war. later developments have shown it to be a war for civilization, and Americas en- try into it gives it that final judg- ment"
 "'The great decision that the people and the government of this country made last month is admittedly one of the noblest and the most unselfish acts in human history said MT. Sato.
 Tt makes ones heart warm and strengthens ones hope in humanity to contemplate how a whole nation with d hundred million people has stood as one man in defense of the same great principles that inspired Washington and Lincoln.
 T venture to hope and believe that the best in the American Spirit which has prompted this nation to take arms against the common dangers of humanity will be brought to play at the conference of nations and that we will usher in a new era of peace and justice'

 Details of the proposed loan to Rus sia have not yet been placed in definite form, nor has an approximate date for the making of the loan been deter mined.
 There will be no disposition on the part of the government to question the ability of the smaller nations to meet the promises to repay the sums lent them. The money will be placed where it will be most effective in fighting Germany.
 At the same time it was pointed out that the American government would in large degree aid the nations to whom loans are made in the wise expenditure of the funds placed at their disposal. There is no stipulation that the money is to be spent in this country; but with every other great world market closed there will be little choice as to where it will be spent.
