Spain Will Garry
American Relief
Supplies to Syria
Alfonso's Government OBJ
tains Assurance of Safety
Denied u. S.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, March 31.-The State De-
partment to-day accepted Spain's ofier
to carry American relief supplies to
SYRIA. The American warships at Alex
andria, the Des Moines and the Caesar,
will transfer their cargoes to a Spanish
merchant vessel at the earliest oppor-
tunity.
In making this announcement. which
followed a conference between William
Phillips, Assistant Secretary of State,
and the Spanish Ambassador, the State
Department said efforts to obtain per-
mission from the German and Aus
trian governments for the warships to
90 through the blockaded area Of the
Mediterranean had been practically
without result.
The supplies in question are destined
for Jaffa and Beirut. The State De-
partment says there is no acute suffer-
ing there at present. II it becomes so
Spain will be asked to remove the
American refugees who desire to leave
those ports.
Officials are wondering how Spain is
able to obtain assurances without the
condition stipulated for the United
States

Wilson Expected
To Sway Ieuton
People for Peace
Presidents Message Eagerly
Awaited by Britain
and Russians

London, March 31.-What President
Wilson will have to say to Congress on
the changed political aspect of Russia
is a natter of the greatest moment to
the Russian democracy.
+. ,sians think it will have a pro-
found effect on the peoples Of the Cen
trail Empires, where a realization of the
true situation is rapidly dawning.
They believe the President can greatly
shorten the war by encouraging the
Teutonic peoples TO further express
sion of their desire for an 'early, just
peace"
In fact. all the European belligerents
are eagerly awaiting the Presidents
address to Congress. Opinion here is
almost unanimous in the expectation
that he will declare a state Of war al
ready exists.
II is expected President Wilson VIII
outline his views of the war as whole.
The British people want to hear his
comment They are keenly interested
in what he may say Of the change In
the European political situation since
his last speech. In this country his
verdict is awaited perhaps with even
Greater interest than in Russia.

Teuton Armies
Plan Blow to
Restore Car
Stroke on Dvina Will Aim
at Creation of New
Holy Alliance
By ARTHUR S. DRAPER


London, March 31.-Throughout
Russia there is uneasiness over the
huge concentration of German troops
on the Dvina front, which is under the
command of General Ruzsky. greatest
of the Russian field leaders and the
military pillar of the recent revolution.
There is reason to believe that this
gathering of forces on the front near
est Petrograd presages a gigantic ef-
fort by the two Teuton emperors and
the various monsrchs of Germany and
Austria, alarmed at the effect of the
Russian revolution on their peoples, to
hurl back the spreading tide of democ-
racy and restore autocracy in Russia.
This is no wild speculation. but is
stated on the authority Of Prince Kro-
potkin. The concentration of German
troops is well known. Through pri-
vate communications. Prince Kropot-
kin learned to-day the reasons for IT,
Plan New "Holy Alliance"
Kaiser Wilhelm and Kaiser Charles,
with the lesser autocrats of the small
er kingdoms within the two empires
have definitely decided on terrific
stroke along the Dvina front. 1t IS
their hope TO discredit the new gov
ernment in Russia, restore the Gar
and create another Holy Alliance OF
the Three Emperors.
Militarily, they are almost prepared
and intrigues are still being carried
on through their numerous agents IN
Russia. How seriously the threatened
offensive is considered in Russia is
shown by the fact that the govern
ment is contemplating moving from
Petrograd to Moscow. The latter city
is more representative of the new
Russian spirit, and will be safer should
the enemy break through.
Dyina Line Powerfully Held
The point where the Russians be-
lieve the Germans will strike probably
is the strongest part Of the line' de-
Tended by the greatest Russian gen
eral That is exactly why the Ger
mans selected it. Ruzsky is the pro
visional governments strongest sup
norter in the army, and he made the
revolution possible. 1t was he VINO
dominated the situation during the
most critical period following the out
break in Petrograd. II he should SUI
fer reverse, Germany reasons that
IL might expect to beneht the mos'
no,itieally as we'll as militarily.
This is the description Of the STU
stion as given to me by observers VINO
are anxious TO have the world know
ths full truth and appreciate the oiI-
Sculties Russia is facing. They are
not alarmed--they are conhdent OF
success, although they realize there
are some dark days ahead.
Under the best conditions, however,
there can be no powerful nor sustained
sttsck ON the Dvina front within
THE Russians consider the action OF
the German Socialist majority in the
pe;cbstag Of the highest significance

Wilson Will Get
What He Demands

Don't make all England's mistakes
over again." Is the advice Of these SOL
diers. "The voluntary system will have
to be abandoned sooner or later II we
20 into the war. The sooner il lie aban-
doned the less it will cost in money
and life"
Unless President Wilson tells Con-
gress what it must do to put the coun-
try in a state of preparedness. there Is
little prospect that it will do anything
at all. II the President recommends an
increase in the army without pointing
to the need for compulsory service. It
is almost certain that Congress will
fall back on a voluntary scheme.
Military men say there is only one
way-to decide how many men are
needed and take them. II the Presi-
dent insists on this way ne will get II.
