GERMANS HAD
PINNED HOPES
ON new Line
Reports ofRecent Gains by
British Will Cause Deep
Depression.
(By Associated Press.)

British Headquarters in France, via
London, April S0.-There are increas-
ing evidences daily OF how the German
higher commands are using the name
of Field Marshal Won Hindenburg- in
an effort to sustain the morale OF the
German fighting COMMAND, which was
lowered by the retreat from the Somme
and the successful launching OF the
British and French offensive. The
prisoners also tell how Won linden
burg continues to be held up as the
man in whom it must hope for final
victory. The recent retreat was ex-
planned by the desire of the German
command to take up a position in the
line and prisoners say
now that, when 1t becomes known in
Germany that the allies have taken
possession OF several miles of its line
southwest of Arras, great depression
will be caused.
Civilians as well as soldiers place
great faith in this line on which they
say millions upon millions OF marks
have been spent.
They have been told that the line
was so strong that the Germans could
sit on it for the remainder of the war.
The German class of 10, It is under
stood is being called up but Is still in
training.

GERMANS HERE
Are OUTLAWED
So Declares Bernstorff, For
mer Ambassador, Sena-
tor Phelan Says.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, April 30.-Count Won
Bernstorff, former German ambassa-
dor to the United States before the
war, spoke disparagingly OF German
citizens in this country, saying they
had run away from the fatherland to
avoid military service and were out
lawed,"5 according to a statement made
public today by Senator Phelan of
California, in connection with the
comment on the passage of the army
bill.
The remarks attributed to Count
Won Bernstorff, Senator Phelan ex-
planned, were made during an inter-
view he had with the ambassador in
Munich in 1913. Nm an effort to get Ger
many to participate in the Panama
Pacific exposition. Mr.. Phelan urged
a German exhibit on the ground that
Germans in the United States would
be proud OF 1t.
HE resented that" said Senator
Phelan, in his statement, but to my
surprise he substantially said, DO not
talk to me about those people. We do
not care what they think or want.
They have deserted the fatherland.
They have run away to avoid military
duty. They are outlawed."

He said that there are 1000, 900

get relief they will almost be exter-

suffering of these stricken people"
said the speaker. The other countries
of the world have been doing much
and we have been doing some but not
what other nations have
The speaker called attention to
what Canada has done for the relief
OF these people, showing that their
donations have far exceeded those in

of Toronto have given $14 per capita

Up to the present time 100000 has

Grevstad, Former U. s. Min

A divided Brazil. the southern half
dominated by Germany, is war prob
ability, in the opinion of A. N. Grew
stad, former United States minister
to Uruguay and Paraguay, former edi-
tor Of The Scandinavian, published in
Chicago, who is in Fargo today.
Mr.. Grevstad will speak at the Sons
Of Norway hall under the auspices of
Normande Forbundet this evening, de-
livering the Sverdrup memorial adj
dress.
There are organized agencies at
work in Brazil even now" said Mr..
Grevstad, in an interiew with The

Brazil is distinctively German. It's

and the division Of the South Ameri-

States in its war with Germany"
Mr.. Grevstad, because Of his long
residence in South America as rep
resentative Of the United States,
speaks with authority on conditions in
the Latin American nations.
Norway and Sweden for Allies.
Norway looks upon the entrance of
the United States in the world war
with great favor" continued Mr.. Grew
stad. There is growing belief that
too, must definitely cast her
lot with the allies. Norway could not
be in worse condition than she is, as.
more Of her ships have been sunk, in
to her representation on
the high seas. than any other nation.
And, too, IL Norway enters the war
then she will sit at the conference
table. and be in better position than
she would be If she remained outside
the battle.
Sentiment Changes.
"In Sweden, the sentiment has
changed. Since the abdication Of the
bureaucratic government, and the
Of the democratic form
Of government, Sweden has nothing to
fear from Russia. Her great fear
has been from victorious
Russia, but now, the establishment Of
q free Finland, creating buffer state,
and the creation Of a new liberty low
Ing government, means safety for
Sweden. AS a result, Sweden and Nor
way look upon the war situation in
much the same light.
up to the time that Sweden was
assured Of immunity from Russian
attack, she was unwilling to go with
the allies, while Norway, though her
sentiments were with ENGLAND and
America, was unwilling to part COM
pany with Sweden"
Illinois Has Big Man.
That Illinois has produced, in Gov

real results, and he is certain Of be-

RUSSIAN PEACE.
ATTITUDE HAS
BEEN DISTORTED
Idea of Separate Peace Died
With Old Regime, Re-
port From Petrograd.
(By Associated Press.)

Petograd via London. April 30.--It
1t evident from foreign kilograms that
the attitude of the Russian democracy
for peace has been distorted by the
foreign press. The desire for peace
has become more widespread since the
revolution but 1t is based on an en-
tirely different conception from those
that were entertained during the old
regime. These new conceptions have
nothing to do with a premature peace
with Germany. AS a matter of fact
they have not yet taken any definite
form, simply emanatinR from the new
spirit of democracy which wishes to
build foundation for a durable world
peace. The idea of a separate peace
died with the old regime.
