ENGLAND ENDORSES WILSON
Russia Told Principles Laid Down by
President Have Been Accepted.

London.--ln reply TO the Russian
governments request for statement
OF the British war aims, Great Britain
has forwarded TO petrograd note in
which it expressed hearty acceptance
and approval of the principles which
President Wilson laid down in his his
toric message TO Congress. The Brit
ish government believes, broadly
speaking. that the agreements madi
from time to time with Britain's allies
are conformable to these standards,
The purpose of Great Britain at the
outset. says the note, was to defend
the existence of the country and en-
force respect for international agree
ments, Since then there has been
added that of 'liberating populations
oppressed by alien tyranny"

AMERICAN WAR AIMS
GIVEN TO RUSSIANS

Washington. on.-President Wilson, in
communication to the new govern
usspi of Russia. has made plain the
war aims OF the United States and
its position on mo annexations, no
indcmnitles."
No territory must change hands
except for the purpose of securing
those who inhabit 1t fair chance Of
life and liberty says the communi-
cation.
No indemnities must be insisted
on except those that constitute pay
ment for manifest wrong done.
NO readjustments of power must
be made except such as will tend to
secure the future peace of the world
and the future welfare and happiness
of its people"
In unmistakable terms President
Wilson declares against Germany's
proposal TO restore the status quo
before the war.
That status must be altered in
such fashion as TO prevent any such
hideous thing from ever happening
again."

HAIG SMASHES LINE
ON BELGIAN FRONT
Germans First Blown up and
Then Rolled Back In New
Drive.

London.-The wiping out OF the
German salient at MessInes appears
merely the prelude TO q projected bat.
tie OF q far mightier description.
The Germans. though apparently
aware that the blow was coming and
seemingly prepared to meet II, were
driven from their nearly three years
hold on MessInes ridge, opposite Poor
Old" Ypres, the last remnant Of an
important Belgian town. which. with
the help OF the French and British In
turn, has held out against all the
massed attacks the Germans could
fling against II, including the first
great surprise OF poison gas IS
means Of supposed civilized warfare.
All the prisoners say the Germans
had been expecting the attack. but
were taken completely by surprise by
the hour at which II was launched and
the fury with which II was carried
forward. They had been completely
dazed by the most gigantic mining
operation yet carried out in the world
war.
More than 100000 pounds Of high
explosives had been placed under the
German forward positions during the
last twelve months and the upheaval
of a score of separate mines spread
panic among the troops, already har-
rassed. as they were, to the point of
distraction by seven days and nights
Of fire from the greatest concentration
Of guns on a given front since the war
began. The battle Of Arras apparently
had reached the ultimate in this re-
spect. but today's bombardment was
carried out by 20 per cent more guns.
especially guns Of heavy caliber.

BRITISH AIRp[ANES
HELP WIN VICTORY

London.-The manner in which the
British flying corps dominated the
air during the battle Of Messines
Ridge and completely smothered the
German aviation service for the time
being is one Of the most thrilling and
remarkable stories Of the entire war.
Hundreds Of British planes were
we'll behind the German lines when
the battle broke into its fury at dawn.
In addition to shutting the German
airmen out of any early participation
in the battle. the British airplanes
were in a large degree responsible
for the fact that the Germans could
not launch a counter attack of appre-
ciable strength until 40 hours after
the battle for the ridge began and
every bit of ground desired by the
British in this particular operation
had been taken and secured.
Far back of the German lines the
British planes searched out troops in
every hamlet, town and village. In
several places they saw them gather
ing or marching in the main streets,
whereupon they flew down low at
times and opened fire which scat
tered the Germans in all directions.

RUSSIANS SPURN PEACE
German Commander in East offsrs
to Cease Warfare.

Petrograd.-The council of soldiers
and workmen has made public the
fact that the German commander-in-
chief on the Eastern front sent wire
less message inviting the Russian
armies to a separate armistice. and
proposing that they enter into secret
pour parlers with the German leaders.
The council denounces the proposals.
The resolution OF the soldiers and
workmen's council spurning the Ger
man wireless appeals for peace de-
clared:
The German commander-in-chief
wirelessed our troops proposal for
an armistice in order that secret pour
parlers for peace might be held. 1t
was argued that such an armistice did
not offer Germany advantage. This
is untrue. The German general for
gets that Russia knows the overthrow
of the allies would mean the over
throw of Russia and the end of her
political liberty"

President Wilson Can Now
Prevent Supplies Reaching
The Germans.

shington.-Control OF exports
was given the government when the
senate finally approved the admins
tration espionage bill with its enseargo
clause. The measure, sent TO the
president for his signature, puts into
the hands of the executive weapon
by which it is intended to stop sup
plies from entering Germany through
neutral countries.
Passage of the bill removes to q
great extent the necessity of the Brit
ish blockade, since the United States,
originator of most of the exports that
reach the neutrals, will be in position
to see that the countries are supplied
with just enough food and materials
for their own needs.
The neutral nations have expressed
much concern over Americas policy,
and three of them-Norway, Sweden
and Switzerland-have sent commits
sions TO this country to present their
needs and requirements.
Americas final incorporation into
the allies economic strength. with the
legislation just passed, gives the al
lance the practical trade domination
of the whole world outside the Ger
man empire. The neutrals are prac-
ticaliy helpless without allied shipping
and coal.
