FRENCH VICE PREMIER ISSUES
STATEMENT OF GRATITUDE OF
HIS NATION AT STAND
OF AMERICA.
ALL FREEDOMS FORCES
ARE TODAY LET LOOSE
Heartily App!auds Americas Long
Suffering Patience Before Appeal
ing to Force and Only Then
When There Can Be No
Other Means.

Washington, April 28.-In a state
| ment to the American press, Rene vi
viani, Frances vice premier and head
of the war mission, said the co-opera-
ton of the United States would mean
not only military victory which was
already assured but a victory of NOR
atty and right. He expressed deep
gratitude for the enthusiastic recep-
ton.
M. Vivianis statement follows:
Il am indeed happy to have been
chosen to represent the greetings of
the French republic to the illustrious
man whose name is in every French
mouth today, whose incompatible mes
sage is at this very hour being read
and commented on in all our schools
as the most perfect charter of human
rights and which so fully expresses the
virtues of your race-long suffering
patience before appealing to force, and
force to avenge that long-suffering
patience when there can be no other
means.
Tribute Is to France.
Il ask you to repeat thousand fold
the expression of our deep gratitude
for the enthusiastic reception the
American people has granted us in
Washington. 1t is not to us, but to
our beloved and heroic France that re-
ceptfon was accorded.
''For us your children have shed
their blood and the names of your
sacred dead are inscribed forever in |
our hearts.
Your inexhaustible generosity was |
not the charity of the fortunate to the |
it was an affirmation of |
your conscience, a reasoned approval
Of your judgment.
UNFOLDING Valiant Struggle.
"Your fellow countrymen knew that
lnder the savage assault of nation
If prey which has made of war, to
quote famous saying, its national in
lustry, we were upholdiHg with our
Allies, faithful and val
ant to death, a struggle for the VIC
ated rights of man.
And now the United States rises in
is strength as champion of right and
allies to the side of France and her
lilies.
From today on all the forces Of
reedom are let loose. We work to-
ether as free men who are resolved
} save the ideals of mankind"

DISTRIBUTION OF u. S. LOAN
TENTATIVE PROGRAM ALLOWS
ALLIES $5oo,ooo,o 900 A MONTH.
Virtually Every Dollar of Big Loan
Would Be Spent in This Country,
According to Plans.

Washington, April 2S.-Preliminary
reports to the treasury department,
upon which Secretary McAdoo will
base his recommendation to the Pres
ident as to the size of the first bond
issue under the s7,O00,OOO,OOO war fl
nance law, indicate that the United
States will be called upon to finance
the Allies to the extent of at least
$400,000,000 and possibly $50O,000,000
a month.
Would Be Kept at Home.
The tentative program also calls for
the expenditure of virtually every dol
lar of the borrowed money in this
country for foodstuffs, munitions, coal,
clothing, railway equipment and 9TH
er supplies. The estimates indicate
the following Allies needs:
For Great Britain $200,0O0,000 to
250,000,000 a month; for France from
s100,000,000 to s125,000,000; for Rus
STA sum up to $100,000,000 a month
depending upon the ability for manu-
featuring plants in this country to
meet her demands, mostly for sup
pliOo OIhOl Ihdi lOouoLuuo anu
tons; for Italy, about s50,O00,000 a
month.
Big Loan Would Last One Year.
Should these requirements be met
in their entirety the $4,000, 100000 |
available for lending the Allies would |
be exhausted in from six to seven and |
one-half months. 1t is likely, howev-
er, that the preliminary estimates can
be pared down to a point where, with
put emitting essentials, the huge loan
could be made to cover requirements
Tor a much longer period of time, pos
sibly for one year.

Washington, April 2S-The question
of sending American troops to France
this year was the principal matter dis
cussed at two-hour conference be
tween Secretary of War Newton D
Baker and Marshal Joseph Jacques
Joffre, of the French commission.
Marshal Soffre explained in detail
the military situation ON the western
front, and the great need of additional
troops, which has been evidenced by
the emergency call by the British gov
eminent for 100000 more men.
That the United States can be Of
inestimable service to the common
cause by sending troops to the firing
line in France at the earliest possible
moment is the conviction of the hero

ing of an American expeditionary
force to cooperate with her armies

ed States prepared to give reasons for |
the opinion of French military experts |
that the sending of such a force is |
advisable.
Visit Many Cities.
There will be many conferences be-
tween American and French experts
on military, naval, financial and COM
mercial questions at once. 1t is con-

American cities and some of the his
toric spots connected with American
history. If opportunity present it.

AZTEC WAS SUNK BY MINE
Navy Officials Think U-Boat Not to.
Blame.

Washington, April %. = Lieutenant
w. F. Gresham, who commanded the.
naval gun crew of the American mer-
chant steamer Aztec when it was
sunk off Brest made this report in
person to Secretary Daniels and left
an impression that the vessel prob
ably was destroyed by a mine. Unof-
fetal reports had indicated she was
torpedoed. Lieutenant Gresham told
the secretary that he had seen nothing
to indicate the presence of a subma-
rine. His report left little doubt in
the minds of many Navy officials that
the Aztec, the only armed American
merchant craft that has been lost, was
the victim of mine.

UPHOLDS RIGHT TO CRITICIZE
PRESIDENT is AGAINST CURB ON

Opposes Anything in Proposed Censor

Exercise of Privilege.

Washington, April rs. = President
of New York, declared he is opposed
to any system of censorship that
would deny to the people of the United
States their indisputable right to crit
icize their own public officials"
Replying to letter from Mr.. Bris-
bane on the espionage bill pending in
Congress, the President wrote:
81 approve Of this legislation, but
whatever action Congress may decide
upon, so far as l am personally con-
cerned, l shall not expect or permit
any part of this law to apply to me
or any of my official acts in any way
to be used as a shield against criti-
cism.
Invites Intelligent Criticism.
II can imagine no greater disser-
vice to the country than to establish
a system of censorship that would
deny to the people of a free republic
like our own their indisputable right
to criticize their own public officials.
While l exercise the great powers of
the Office / hold, I would regret in
crisis like the one through which we
are now passing to lose the benefit of
patriotic and intelligent criticism.
I'm these trying times one can feel
certain only Of his motives which he
must try to purge of selfishness of
every kind and await with patience
or the judgment of calmer day to
indicate the wisdom of the course he
las tried conscientiously to follow"
