ally with the arrival in Washington
Sunday of the British Commission OF
twenty members headed by the Right
Honorable Arthur j. Balfour, for a
series of war conferences with the
American government. it becomes
known that President Wilson intends
to offer voluntarily his assurances
that the United States will make no
separate peace with Germany. The
President will state to Mr.. Balfour
that the United States intends to
fight until it achieves these three OBJ
jects:
The recognition of the rights OF
Americans on the high seas;
The destruction of the Prussian au.
tocracy, deemed a menace to demo
cratic government and the permanent
peace OF the world;
The security OF the United States
and from the plots of imperial ag-
tack from the German government
and from the plats of imperial ag-
grandizement- engineered by Berlin
Arthur James Balfour,. secretary of
state for foreign affairs of the empire,
formerly premier. and often called the
dean of the worlds elder statesmen,
was the central figure of party thai
included some of Great Britain's most
prominent men
With genial smile playing over
his features, he consented to brief
interview, warmly expressing his ap-
probation of all the United States
has done as a neutral in charitable
and relief work in Belgium and in
German prison camps, his qualification
that England and the United States
now were allied for a common pur-
pose, and his conviction that this
country in its war efforts would as
tound the world. particularly Ger
many.
The object of the commission, Mr..
Balfour said, was "to make co-operat-
ton easy and effective between those
who are striving with all their power
to bring about a lasting peace by the
only means that can secure it-name-
ly. successful war.
Your President, in a most apt and
vivid phrase" Mr.. Balfour added, has
proclaimed that the world must be
made safe for democracy; that self
governing communities are not to be
treated as negligible simply because
they are small; that the ruthless
domination of one unscrupulous
power imperils the future of civiliza-
ton and the liberties of mankind are
truths of political ethics which the
bitter experience of war is burning
into the souls OF all freedom-loving
peoples

British Front in France. April 26.-
The town of Monchy lie Preux, which
lies about five miles east of Arras, will
stand in history as one of the bloodi-
est spots of the world-war. The fight
ing north. east and south of this lit
tie Artois village perched upon high
knoll has exceeded in intensity any OF
the individual struggles of the Somme.
Efforts OF the Germans to retake the
village apparently have subsided, on
account of the sheer exhaustion OF
their available forces. and the British
advance eastward of Monchy contin-
ues. slowly but surely. The ground
around Monchy. as far as the eye can
reach, is covered with the dead, the

their old tactics of attacking in mass
formation Fifteen German airplanes
