General Public o. Newest Democracy
Considered Wilson'S Address as
War Declaration.

Petrograd. April 9, via London
Premier Lvoff. commenting on Ameri-
cas- entrance into the war to cores
pondent OF the Associated Press, term
ed 1t an event whose importance it was
impossible to exaggerate. News Of the
final action OF congress reached Petro.
grad last midnight IN telegram to the
American embassy and was formally
communicated to the foreign ofiice and
the entente embassies today by Am.
bassador Francis.
AS far as the Russian public is con-
cerned America has been regarded as
having declared war week ago. Pres
ident Wilson's address was accepted
as equivalent to declaration Of war
and was 80 interpreted and comment.
ed upon by the newspapers.
There has been no demonstration Of
any sort in connection with the action
OF America. with the exception Of a
visit paid to the various embassies Of
the allied powers, including the Amer.
ican. by a small detachment Of Cos.
sacks One editorial in today's press
was devoted to America but matters
more nearly touching Russian life have
overshadowed American news in the
papers.

MANY PERSONS ARE
WITHOUT A COUNTRY

New York, April 9-Thousands OF
men and women of German birth who
are not naturalized Americans have
lost their German citizenship and vir-
tually have no country. according to
William F. Schneider, county clerk.
up to January 1. 1914" Mr..
Schneider explained. "the German fed
eral law Of June I. 1870. concerning the
acquisition and loss of federal and
state citizenship was in force. Accord
Ing to this law n German lost his or
her citizenship by having lived outside
of Germany for ten consecutive years.
"A new law does not repeal that pro.
vision, but clause provides loss Of
citizenship at the completion Of the
thirty year of his life if a German
has not procured final decision as to
his military duty. In consequence Of
both these laws We have among us ma
tives Of Germany who. though they
have not become American citizens are
no longer Germans in the political
sense Of the word"

SUB ATTACK FAILS
British Steamer Reaching Pacific Port
From England Shows Signs OF
Encounter In Atlantic.

San Francisco. Cal, April 9. The
British steamer Sequoya, Captain Phil
lips of the Standard Oil company's
fleet. which reached Pacific port yes
terday from England, bore the scars Of
an encounter with German submar-
inc. which somewhere in the Atlantic,
made an unsuccessful effort to torpedo
the tanker.
According to the Sequoya's officers,
the torpedo missed by narrow mar
gin. The Sequoya put on full speed.
The submarine came to the surface and
followed, sending showers OF shrapnel
into the tanker with the evident design
of disabling the steering gear. Part OF
the bridge was shot away and several
of the Sequoya's boats were shot full
of holes before the tanker's speed took
her beyond the U-boat's range.

SUBMARINE CREWS
ARE GIVEN BONUS

Amsterdam (via Iondon) April g.
The frontier correspondent Of the Tele-
craaf suggests that the recklessness
shown by German submarines is due
TO the big financial rewards offered the
crews by the German government. The
men who man the submarines get ten
per cent higher pay than those Of any
other branch of the national service
and receive in addition substantial
bonuses.
Fifty per cent of the value Of a cap.
tured ship Is distributed among her
captors.

OTHERS TO FOLLOW.

Up to the time Charge Zwiedinek
asked for his passports no similar &C
tiou had been taken by Bulgaria and
Turkey, Germany's two other allies.
and their representatives here dis
claimed having any knowledge Of the
Intentions of their governments. 1t Is
expected here they will follow by
breaking diplomatic relations.
Austria's break with the United
States undoubtedly is the prelude to
a declaration Of a state Of war. Sixty
two days elapsed between the break
in relations between the United States
and Germany and the formal declara.
ton OF q state Of war. How many days
will elapse before Germany's chief ally
enters a state OF war with Germany's
newest enemy will be decided entirely
by circumstances.
Quite aside from this, Austria has
subscribed even il only ACCIDENTALLY
10 Germany's campaign Of ruthless
ness. although she has not carried 1t
out against American interests. Be
aide that, II Is considered that It
would be impossible to have abroad in
the United States on friendly status
the diplomatic and consular agents Of
Germany's ally.
AntiAmerican propaganda conduct.
ed BY Austrian agents under German
direction has been no less offensive
and scarcely less effective than the
German propaganda itself.
It is possible that there may not be
warlike operations between the forces
OF the two governments unless Ger
many's carrying further her domina-
tion of the Vienna government should
force 1t.
Charge Grew at Vienna also will
turn over to Spain. British and Japa-
nese interests which this country has
looked after since the beginning OF the
war. Italian, French and Rumanian
interests in Austria-Hungary previous.

ECONOMIC RESULTS
OF WAR DISCUSSED
GERMAN COUNCILLOR HOPES U.
s. WILL LOAN HIS COUNTRY
MONEY At LATER DATE.

Amsterdam, via London, April 3
Three questions in regard to America 8
entrance into the war have been put
to leading German manufacturers by
the Rheinische Westfalische Gazette
of Essen, an important industrial or
gan. The paper asks:
First, whether unrestricted subma-
rine warfare has been bought too
dearly at the price of war with Amer
lea;
Second, what will be the economic
consequence;
many economically Independent OF
American"
Councillor DR.. Beukenberg of Dort-
mund answers the first question in the
negative. He says:
Our early reluctance to use our
submarines due to the most far reach
ing difference to America with whom
we were on friendly terms and, above
all, enjoyed important commercial re-
lations. America never attempted to
help us in our distress caused by Eng
lands starvation blockade. Our yield.
ing to Americas demands was not
caused by fear Of her military re-
sources, but with view to avoid diff
ficulties In rebuilding our foreign trade
after the war
Against Germany.
President Wilson's biased judg.
ment Of the German peace proposals
showed that America does not want
German victory and prefers to aid Brit
fish aims In the dismemberment Of
Germany and Austria Hungary. We
were thus compelled to resume unre-
stricted submarine warfare in order to
force a victorious conclusion of the
war. Considerations OF the future de-
velopments Of our trade must wait
while danger exists Of our losing the
fruits of victory"
In regard to the second question DR..
Beukenberg, after pointing out in de-
tail that American exports to Germany
were two and half times bigger than
German exports to America, says:
after the war America will not
want to cut of her German customer.
It would harm us grievously II Ameri-
ca were to refuse to us later large
loan to help us over our diffi.u]ties. We
HoNld then have to. 'ssas'ssS .sssr ]. st1scks
last much longer. although eventually
able to return to sound basis" II
Not Independent.
After calling attention to the huge
increase In Americas financial
strength. DR.. Beukenberg says in an.
swer to the third question:
Germany cannot become wholly in.
dependent. IN the case Of cotton. for
instance, under the most favorable
circumstances II would take decades
to meet our needs from our colonies
or from Asia Minor To a certain ex-
tent we can be independent II we live
sparingly and use all our available sub
stitutes. but large part Of German
imports are raw materials which are
exported as manufactured goods Thus
increases In the difficulties Of import
ing would hit us badly. This. however,
applies equally to the United States.
Americans do not grow cotton for
nothing and they will welcome their
old customer back again"
DR.. Hasslacher of the Rheinische
steel works of Duisburg. answering the
questions, laid stress on the declara-
tion that nothing must interfere with
ruthless submarine warfare.

BRITISH BREAK
GERMAN LINES
Very Satisfactory Progress
Is Made Along Front in
st. Quentin District
ENTIRELY NEW PHASE
OF OPERATIONS OPEN

London, April 9. British troops to-
day penetrated the German lines all
, along wide front from Arras to Lens
the war Office announces.
The statement says that in the direc-
tion of Cambria the British have storm.
ed the villages of Hermies and
| Boursies and penetrated Havrincourt
wood
Referring to the attack on the front
between Arras and Lens the state.
ment says:
"We are making satisfactory pro-
gress Mt all points"
In the direction OF st. Quentin, the
British took Fresnoy lie Petit and ad-
vanced their line southeast of Lever

tory progress at all points.
"In the direction of Cambria. We
stormed the villages of Hermies and
Boursies and have penetrated into
Havrincourt wood.
"In the direction OF St Quentin we
captured Fresnov lie Petit and advanc-
ed our line southeast Of LeVerguier.
mo estimate Of the prisoners taken
can yet be given but considerable num-
bers are reported captured"
The fighting line from Lens to Arras
is approximately ten miles In length
and lies directly north Of the field OF
the retreat which the Germans have
been conducting for the past several
weeks.
The fact that the line has been pen
etrated by the British all along this
wide front indicates that the move
ment there is general offensive. That
It Is proving successful drive is indi-
Gated by the statement that "satisfac-
tory progress is being made eat all
points"
An entire new phase of operations
on the western front is opened up in
this new battle on the Lens-Arras line
The field Of attack represents the
greatest danger point for the Germans,
as in the recent fighting sharp sal,
lent was driven into the German line
southeast of Arras.
Rich Coal Field.
Into the Lens region into which the
British are driving. is rich coal field
which the Germans have been exploit.
ing since their occupation of this terri.
tory early in the war.
The opening Of the new offensive
had been foreshaGowed in the intense
aerial activity OF the past two or three
days in which hundreds OF airplnnes
have been engaged on both sides This
work. as the British statements have
indicated. has given General Haig's
staff Photographic reproductions of the
German positions for long distances
behind the fighting line.
Further south the British have con.
tinued their progress in the field Of the
German retreat. the advance reported
al Hermies and Boursies being partic.
ularly important. Boursies is directly
on the road from Bapaume to Camhrai,
about eight miles from the latter place
Hermies lies just TO the south OF
Boursies.
In their drive toward St. Quentin tho
capture of Fresroy DE- Petit puts the
British within two and one-half miles
Of St Quentin.
