Mass Meeting at New York Adopts
Resolutions.

New York, March % r. Resolutions
declaring that overt acts, however
brutal do not afford adequate cause
for war to a republic whose essential
relation to international affairs is
summed up in the words: "Concilia
ton, arbitration and democracy" were
adopted at a mass meeting held by
the Emergency Peace federation in
Madison Square Garden as a protest
against war.
This mass meeting" the resolu-
tions read protests against the proc
lamation by the metropolitan press
that a state OF war exists between the
United States and Germany; protests
against the campaign of misrepresen-
tation prompted by those who would
profit from plunging this country into
the abyss of war; protests against the
systematic Inflammation of the public
mind by hysterical preparations for
war"

London, March 27-Desperate re-

French upon the defenses at st Quen-
tin. Heavy counter attacks are re-
ported, but Paris declares that Gen
eral Niyelle's troops have held all the

Apparently this means that the
Germans lost the strong key position

the protection of st. Quentin on the

Military critics have pointed to the
probability Of the German wing in

AMERICAN ENTRANCE
INTO WAR MINIM|zED

London, March 27.-The possibility
of American participation in the war
on the side of the allies was dismiss.
ed as a minor matter by General Won
Stein, Prussian minister of war, in
an interview with the Berlin CORE
spondent of a Budapest newspaper,
according to Berlin dispatch to Reu-
ters by way OF Amsterdam.
General Won Stein said he did not
know whether the American feet
would support the British fleet, but
that there could be no question OF an
American continental army in the
near future He added
Our military situation on all fronts
is good and justifies our best hopes.
II appears that the enemy is preparing
an offensive, but we shall resist even
a stronger attack not only at the front
but at home.
What may happen then we do not
know, but come what may, we shall
confront everything imperturbably.
our suiterings are great and our
sacrifices gigantic, but ii is just in
these things that the greatness of a
nation finds tis expression"

EXPECT DRIVE ON
RUSSIAN CAPT. Al

Petrograd, March 27.-Russia is con.
vinced Won Hindenburg's retreat on
the Western front is the first move In
a drive on Petrograd.
Coineident with the retirement came
news OF great massing of men and
munitions on the northern boundary.
All parties in Russia are awake to a
realization Of the new peril TO the ma
tion, and this has served to smooth
out faetional differences.
Government leaders are impressing
the Russian people with the idea that
the kaiser hopes to restore bureaucra-
cy and the car to power by taking
Petroerad before the new government
can have completely organized and
strengthened the army
Socialist leaders are causing most
concern TO the new government. They
favor peace at once. one Socialist
newspaper even making the sugges-
tion that Russian soldiers should
walk out of their trenches and fra
ternize with the Germans from whom
they would receive fraternal treatment.
Thus war would end and Russia s
example Of decentralization would
spread, bringing peace all over the
world
The menace of the German thrust.
however, appears likely to obliberate
these internal dissentions.
