Article is De0oted to the Entry of the United States Into the War
 and Warns People.

Copenhagen, April 30, via Londcn.- Maximilian Harden. the German "en- fant terrible" publishes in the latest issue Of Die Zukunft another daringIy frank article exposing to German readers the "shams. pretences and mistakes of their governments policy.
 The article is devoted to the entry of the United States into the war, which Herr Harden warns the people must be taken most seriously, from the moral side, as a symptom of the weakness of Germany's appeal to the neutral world, and the failure of her foreign policy, and because of the physical aspects of the weight that America will ultimately be able to throw into the scale. He declares that Germany's peace overtures were put forward only as bridge over which Germany could pass to releut- less submarine warfare.

 Little news concerning the situation along the front from Lens to St. Quen- tin. where the British for several weeks have made notable gains, has been youchsafcd in the latest official communications. The London war orrice Monday night.merely mentioned the repulse of a German tack east of Arras between Monchy and the Scarpe river.

pagne region fl France. fo lowins days of acute gun preparation by the French forces, which was answered almgst shot for shot by the Germans, at last has broken. Seemingly synchronizing it with the somewhat lessened activity on the part of the British against the Germans on the Arras front, the French Monday east ward from Rheims, launched an at. tack over a front of about four miles from the south of Bene to the east of Monte Canillet and captured sev eral fortified German trenches.
 Delivered at midday, the offensive was swift and sharp, and al it's can- clusiCn the French line had been driven forward into territory previous ly occupied by the enemy to depths ranging relatively from 500 to 1000 yards.

 Scarcely less noteWorthy han his scathing criticism of German dIplo- macy (but not that of Count von Bernstorff, former ambassador to the l nited States, whose work he praises), is Herr Harden's Justification to Ger man readers of Americas attitude dur. ing the war and his demolition, for example. of the fayorite pan-German arguments that the United states was inspired solely by dollar-chasing and locked upon war only as source for enormous profits from munitions sup. plies
 The United States, Herr Harden continues, could have continued to amass unmeasured riches, not from munition contracts, from which only a minute part Of it's income was de- rived, but as worlds source of supply Instead. io adds. the United States chose for an ideal to eject a continuance of it's profitable neutrality to load itself with burden of ex. penditures which no other country could safely bear Those who would profit-iIlarden tells his readers-can be sought nearer home, in the ranks of those wanting to retain Belgium. the Griey iron district.

Joffre Only Wants a Small Force Sent at the Present for the Influence It Would Have in France and on the Soldiers in the German Army,

Washington. April 30.--WIth tho judgment of the French war mission and the American army general staff seemingly in conflict as to when American troops should be sent to France. particular interest attaches to a conference at the White House to- Gay between President Wilson and Rene Viyiani, head of the French mis- sion.
 Decision rests with the president through his constitutional function as commanderjn-ehiet or the United states army. 1t was generally as
 umed that the views of the French officials disclosed in Marshal Joffre s statement yesterday advising that American forces be sent to the battle .ront soon, were formally presented to Mir. Wilson during the conference.
 No information as to that discus sion was given out however, and no administration official would comment upon the statement Of the great French solder.
 TUpon that subejct I have no com meut to make" was the reply with which Secretary Baker met al ques- tons.
 There is no question. however, that the general staff disapproyes auy sug- sestion that American forces be sent abroad untl they are fully trained ana equipped for tho task before them with lue exception or final touches 10 DO gwen behind the battle lines
 Stripped ol al, military pros and cons. the proposal made by Marshal Joffre and apparently supported by all members ot the Preach mission IS understood here as providing that a smaI force Of American troops, pos sibly division numbering rom IS,U0O to 25,0oo men be sent at the earliest possible momcn to French soil for the sentimental effect its presence would have both upon the French and the Germans Admittedly no Ameri. can force that will be available for months could greatly influence the iAAit''til atbudtiph ny lbINt oA ditio.
 On one point there is complete agreement between MT Joffre and the American officers; both believe tAuS any force sen, to France large or small, must be given additional train ing on French soil behind tne Uattle lines before 1t should take it's place iE the trenches
 Since it is the psychological effect that is sought troops with no more training than the border hardened na- uoual guard units would serve the pur- pose in he French view. French of. tcers believe that with brief addition al training within sound of the guns at the front possibly five weeks of the intensive last tuoch which the French have learned is necessary be- tore troops go into action-such men could be made ready to take their places by the sides of the veteran French and British regiments
