BERNSTORFF MAY
BE CALLED UPON
TO 90 TO SWEDEN
Germany Alarmed Over the
Pro-ally Sentiment Since
A erica Entered the
War.

Copenhagen. May 10.-Germany is
so concerned about the recent tremen-
dous increase in pro-ally sentiment In
Sweden-due to Americas entry into
the war-that she probably Is going
to send her most expert propagandist
there as ambassador. He is Count Won
Bernstorff. formerly envoy to Wash
ington.
This decision was persistently re-
ported in advices today from Berlin.
1t came upon the heels of other au-
thoritative reports that Bernstorff was
slated to succeed Zimmerman as for
eign secretary. in pursuance with a
German governmental plan to seek a
reconciliation with America. That
Berlin should have abandoned Zim-
mermann's replacement and such a
course to utilize Bernstorff In the
capacity Of envoy to Sweden, was
taken here to indicate the vast i'm
portance Berlin attaches to the pro-
ally sentiment specializing there.
There Is no mistaking the develop
ment Of this trend of public feeling in
Sweden. 1t Is particularly strong
among the farming classes.

LA FAYETTF AIR
SQUADRON HAS
Great RECORD
IN PAST MONTH
The American Flyers Have
Given a Good Account of
Themselves in the Recent
Heavy Fighting on the
French Front.
BY HENRY WOOD,
United Press staff correspon,

With the Lafayette Air Squadron
French Army. Somewhere In France,
May 10.-Six German airplanes brought
down, has been Americas "bit' con-
tributed against Germany since April 8.
Six is the score which, up to today,
has been made by the Americans in
Frances Lafayette escadrille. 1t is
the number of enemy planes actually
smashed down within the French lines.
The official list does not take into ac-
count q dozen other German fliers
which have been knocked down behind
the German lines.
UNDER AMERICAN FLAG.
Here at the headquarters of this
squadron, close before the Hindenburg
line on French territory, only recently
reconquered from the invaders, floats
the only official American flag over q
fighting force on the French front.
1t Is the gift to the Lafayette esca-
drille Of the Orange. N. J., Elks to these
American fliers From beneath its
folds these American boys daily fly out
to fight valiantly to make Americas
power felt on the French front until
American troops arrive in force to sup
plement them.
TOTAL OF 80 VICTIMS.
Since organization of the escadrille,
81 machines have officially been
brought down by it's American fliers.
Officially brought down" means ma
chimes destroyed within the French
lines A score Of others have been
downed where official confirmation
was impossible.
Since America entered the world war
the American squadron has been the
object Of the Germans fiercest aerial
attacks. Recent losses which the La
Fayette escadrille has suffered have
been due to this German "strafing."
The Americans have been exceedingly
busy Every day has brought scores
Of combats. many victories and not a
few exceedipgly narrow escapes.
Sergeant Stephen Bigelow Of Boston,
this week, for instance, had a thrilling
encounter with German expert Of the
air. Bigelow fired 400 rounds into his
adversary before he finally succeeded
in bringing him down-and then 1t was
where official confirmation was impos-
sible-behind the German lines.
IN DESPERATE DUEL.
Sergeant Robert Rockwell of Gin
cinnati had a desperate duel just the
other day. His German antagonist
caught him at one juncture and poured
a hail of bullets on the Americans
plane 1t was literally riddled and one
wing was all but shot away. Even
Rockwell's elevating mechanism was
smashed. And yet the American sue
ceeded in maneuvering back to the
safety of the ground behind the French
lines, himself unhurt
Corporal William Dugan Of Roches-
ter. N. Y, turned up today after being
given up for lost He disappeared two
days ago. The sky simply swallowed
him up, apparently. But Dugan told a
different story on his resurrection. His
machine had been disabled and he
barely got 1t safely to earth just be-
hind the British lines. Between shell
fire and ground fighting. 1t took Him
two whole days to get out unharmed
and back to his camp.

FOREIGN OFFICE STATEMENT.

FOREIGN OFFICE STATEMENT.
The governments view of America 8
entrance into the war was given in a
statement authorized by the foreign
office through the United Press.
Philip Scheidemann, Socialist lead
er, voiced the views Of the other ex-
treme element which has been most
active in recent peace propaganda
Both defended Germany's use Of the
submarine as her most potent means
of defensive warfare and Scheidemann
gave expression to the basis upon
which the peace, which he has ad-
mittedly been advocating, must be
based.
The foreign office does not regard
the torpedoing of American ships
within the danger zone prescribed by
Germany as a hostile act, as all coun-
tries were warned OF it's existence.
The government regards this subma-
rine warfare as its most valuable
weapon and 1t will be continued with
in the announced area. It was point
ed out that American ships were be-
ing attacked only in danger zones.
SOCIALISTS CRITICIZE WILSON.
Scheidemann regarded President
Wilson's attitude as "incomprehensi-
dent continued his efforts for an un-
derstanding between the belligerents,
the war would have probably been
ended long ago.
Il expect good results from the con-
ference Of Socialists at Stockholm"
Scheidemann said, but the war can
be ended only upon q basis that no
dishonorable terms be inflicted upon
any nation" The foreign office state
men follows:
"As repeatedly declared, Ger
many holds there is no reason for
an offensive against America.
Germany Is torpedoing American
ships-but only in the danger
zone, SO does not consider this
hostile act. since all countries
have been warned.
THE submarine warfare Is
proving one of the best means OF
defense for Germany and the war
will be continued within the re-
stricted zone.
The obligations that Americans
report to the police is q just meas
uTS uIlueTldkeu Dy germany
against nation warning on her.
America Is treating Germans in
similar fashion. Americans are
otherwise unhampered in Ger
many"
Since Karl Liebknecht's imprison-
ment, Philip Scheidemann has come
to the fore as one Of the foremost So
cialist leaders in Germany. He has
been actively identified with the So
cialist peace movement and was prime
agitator of the Stockholm peace con-
ference.
The German government has re-
Gently given recognition OF Scheide-
mann's leadership of the radicals by
appointing him chairman of the i'm.
portant constitution committee, which
is charged with recommending changes
in Germany's governmental system.

Petrograd, M ay TO-
Frank admission that free
Russia's future is darkly
menaced by the quarrel be-
tween the duma provisional
government and the soldiers
and workmen's committee
was made in striking phrases
of a proclamation posted to-
day throughout Petrograd
inviting a coalition govern
ment.
The provisional government can
not conceal from the people that of
late its difficulties have increased to
such an extent as to give rise to ser
ious fears for the future of the gov
ernment." the proclamation declared.
After listing in detail the various
reforms which had been achieved un-
der the new regime, in conformity
with pledges to the people. the duma
leaders referred to the later friction
and said:
NO VOICE sTIFLED.
THE provisional government sought
to rely on moral forces. Not drop
of the peoples blood has been shed
by its fault. No voice has been
stifled.
Unfortunately the new social ele-
ments are too slowly welding-and
unsatisfactory. The welding has
been hampered by the process of dis
lntegration provoked by the collapse
of the old regime. Isolated groups
of certain classes of the population,
lacking conscientiousness. seek to
realize their aspirations through vio-
lence. They threaten to destroy dis
cipline and internal policy and thus
create anarchy.
Therefore, the provisional govern
ment believes it a duty to declare
frankly this state of things is rem
dering the administration of the
country difficult. 1t may lead to in
ternal disorders. defeat at the front,
phantom anarchy and civil war
threatening the liberty which arises
before Russia.
Continuing the proclamation ar-
pealed to the efforts of all to strength
en- the power by safeguarding it.
"The government" the procIama-
tion concludes, desires to reinforce It's
composition by inviting to join with
1t representatives of the live creative
forces of the country who hitherto
have not taken an active part in the
administration of the state"
