A new EMANCIPATION.
President Wilson Tells The Reprase1taa7;
Of the Greatest auDcfacy What's C05i6s.

VI ~ NiVAbeos AsShuOA1uJ T9ilL n OU.I.hss
President Wilson quickly and
masterfully has replied to IT,.
Vatican peace proposals, aud hi:
answer can be compressed int
five words "No peace with Prus
ian autocracy." This i, the fun
damenta! issue. all others being
set aside. Questions other thar
the safety aud security of civlllz
alton can be | fit to compromise
and adjustment, but for this
there must be, guaran. ICES, and
these guarantees, must not come
from the present German govern
ment, but from the German peo-
ole.
THE object of this war;
says the President lis TO deliver
the free peoples of the void
from the menace and actual pow
er Of a vast military establish
ment, controlled by an irresponsi
bic government, which having
secretly planned to dominate the
woild, proceeded to carry the
plan Out without regard either to
the sacred obligations of treaty
or the long established practices
and long cherished principles of
international action and honor.'
It is against this that the I'm
teute are fighting. There can
be 10 peace until this milit2risn
is destroyed. and for this reason
it is against thc German govern
meat. and not the German peo-
pie that the war is waged.
"Tnis power is not the German
people, 'rresident Wilson says
1t is the ruthless master of the
German people,
Again our President makes it
clear that the United State,
waits no material benefit, from
the war. T1is country is not
fighting for this Neare fight
my for the freedom of the world
aud this includes the German
people were they only able TO see
it.
The President has again
in this note proved
himself the great spokes-
man and Interpreter of modern
democracy. His note to the Vatl
can is a new Emancipation
emancipation for the German
people as we'll as all other
peoples, if they will only e it
and accept it. "a peace that
should rest upon the rights of
peoples, not the rights of COVER
ments, and upon their equal
rights to freedom, security and
self-government and to a partici-
patton in fair terms in the eco
nomic opportunities Of the world.
This is the keynote of %civiliz'
alton, and unless this is won

LAW HAS PROVED BENEFICIAL
British Employers of Labor Give Cor
dial Endorsement to the daylight
Saving" Proposition.

Inquiries in the leading centers of
industry indicate that the operation Of
the summertime act is, among other
results, having the effect Of increasing
the output in shipyards and engineer
ing works. says the London Times. On
the northeast coast some Of the yards
have been able to arrange additional
spells Of daylight overtime, and in
other establishments there has been
an increase in output owing to the fact
that there are in the aggregate large
number Of extra hours when the work
can be carried on without the aid Of
artificial light and with q lessened
sense of fatigue.
If statistics can be kept which will
enable comparisons to be instituted be-
tween the output of the present sum-
mer and the corresponding period of
last year it is believed that the COM
parison will be all to the advantage of
the present year.
Additional evidence Of the benefit OF
the act from the industrial standpoint
comes from the railways 1t has been
SldlSu LII LIE VI the NH
tional Union of RailwayInen that the
alteration Of the clock has been fol-
lowed by an improvement in the work
ing Of lolg-distance night goods trains.
1t has been found that the extra hour
of daylight has enabled the trains to
be made up and loaded in less time,
and there is a general feeling in rail-
way circles that the summertime act
should come into permanent operation,
as it would enable the work of railway
goods yards to be conducted with
greater rapidity and safety.
A point which seems to appeal to the
men who are on an eight-hour shift Is
that, whatever the turn of duty to
which they are assigned, they either
begin or finish work in daylight This
may seem TO be a small and unimpor-
tant matter, but the fact that it has
caused comment among a large body
of workers reveals an unexpected d.
rection in which putting working hours
In advance Of solar time has proved
beneficial.

London, April 17.-Indications of a
Belgium is given in the Belgian Off
cfal report, which Says the second
German line of intrenchmentS near
Dixmude were entered and found I'M
occupied.
Apparently the city of Lens. the
great coal center of northern France,
has fallen before the British drive.
The British official report on Sunday
night speaks only of progress east of
Levin, where our troops are approach
ing the outskirts of Lens" but the cor
respondent of Lloyds News with the
British army telegraphs that British
patrols entered the city early Sunday
morning.
The Germans ordered the civil pop
ulatiOn from the town on Friday pre-
paratory to their own departure, and
seized three months provisions accum-
commission.
The Germans let loose against the
British wedge threatening the southern
hinge of the line the most powerful
blow they have delivered since the be-
ginning of their withdrawal.
Along siX-mile front on both sides
of the Bapaume-Vambrai highrOad the
enemy launched q succession of heavy
infantry attacks. They penetrated
1agnicourt, which is the center of the
British front. General Haig's men raj
lied, however, and drove the enemy
out, capturing 800 prisoners. The
British line now stands where 1t did
before, and 1900 German dead have
been counted.
The German thrust failed also to
check British progress at st. Quentin
where ground was gained east and
north of Gricourt, 40 miles from
Lens.
With the capture of Lens the
French will be in position once more
to meet their coal shortage, which, to
an extent, has interfered with the
manufacture of munitions.
Prisoners seized in the fighting
about Lens declare that there was
wild confusion in the town while the
main body of Germans was retreating.
Squads dragging guns and stores were
met by squads ordered to blow up the
roads to prevent the British advance
beyond the city.
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig's
principal object in his advance on
Lens is rather to turn La Bas-
Sc from the south, La Basse and
Lens forming the principal outworks
of Lille, which is the key to the whole
German position in Flanders.
