HONOR AND RIGHT
 FORCED US TO WAR
Sir Robert L. Bordon Explains
 Attitude of America
PREFERS JUSTICE TO GOLD

Canadian Premier, in Manchester
 Speech, Says We Are Not Inspired
 by Greed, But Have High Ideals in
 Common With British.
 Manchester, England, April 21.- Robert L. Borden premier of Canada was given the freedom of the city of Manchester today. In his speech of acceptance he predicted that after the war German industries would be sup ported and developed by the most thorough and powerful state organiza- tion ever known. He said if the mill itarist autocracy remained in control the possessions and integrity of the British empire would not remain un- challenged.
 Referring to the entrance of the United States into the war, he said:
 ''The great kindred nation adjoining the Dominion from which I come has been forced by the relentless and overbearing arrogance and aggression of Germany to take up arms in a com mon cause of liberty and humanity. From the very foundation of the re- public, the traditions of American pol icy have been consistently opposed to intervention in any European war. They never would have committed this fateful step save for the overmaster- ing cause of honor and right.
 Our neighbors are peace-loving people, as we are, but those who imagine they are more greatly influ- A,xy Ofn So1 ho n If I7 CT nations fail to realize or comprehend the true spirit of the people of the United States Their astonishing markable capacity in affairs may have they have some misconception with regard to us.
 Have Ideals in Common.
 ''I hold that the self-governing na- tions of the British empire are as truly and thoroughly democratic in their purposes, ideals and aspirations as any nation in the world. It has been said that the United States might be regarded as a monarchy un- der an elective king and the British empire as a republic under an hered- itary president, and it is perfectly true that the president has much greater executive power than the king. In all essentials the ideals of government are the same in both countries and the spirit of the two nations is the same.
 "In this conflict thousands of Amer ican citizens have enrolled in our forces and have fought gallantly and heroically side by side with Canadians. It will be a glorious day when the Union Jack and Old Glory advance together in the same cause on Free dom's battlefield.
 .I have spoken of the .responsibil ities of our empire. Let me empha- size even more strongly the joint re- sponsibility of the American republic and the British commonwealth. 1n- spired by the same ideals, united i'll a common purpose and acting in un- selfish and loyal cooperation, they possess a power, both moral and ma terial, which can command the peace of the world. May they exercise that power for this, the highest of all pur- poses"

James Eads How of St. Louis, known as the "mil- lionaire hobo" speaking for morgan ized workers, said he believed if guns were put in their hands he feared they would use them against tho govern mont. Joseph Cannon. . labor organ ixer. predicted that the selecttve draft and higher prtce-o9sloodfFwoui -laah to riots and that blood will flow In the streets.
 Mrs. w. I. Thomas of Chicago, ex- ecutive secretary of the Woman's 1n- transitional Peace Party, characterized the war as an alliance between Lom- bard and Wall streets.

 The exact status of the strike in Germany is unknown, but 1t is cer- tain that a very considerable portion of the munitions workers have been affected. There are reports of a new strike at Essen and Magdeburg is the site of an important branch of the great Krupp establishment. Indica- tion of the seriousness of the situa- tion Is afforded by. the fact that Field Marshal Won Hindcnburg has considered 1t necessary to make a personal appeal to the workers in which he denounces the strikes as inexcusable crimes against the fight ing forces.

 Nivcllc's Triple Task.
 In the meantime General Nivelle maintains his untiring pressure against the enemy at the most vital point of his defenses-the sharp angle at which the German line, rum B. toward Rheims. This angle already has been crushed into an appreciable extent and is in imminent danger of being entirely shattered The heavy toll of prisoners taken by the French mounts steadily day by day, giving strong support to the claims made ir London and Paris of the deterioration of the German morale
 Three great nhstaH H1oS stand l~o path of General Nivelle. The first is the formidable and sinister Brimont plateau, the height from which tho Germans have poured their shells on Rheims cathedral. The French are at the foot of this plateau and by a double flanking movement are en- deavoring to cut it off from the main German line. The second great bar rier is the almost similarly situated Fort De La Maison, which stands be- tween General Nivel1e's troops and Lson on the road from Lafaux. The third obstacle is the upper Coucy for est, a densely wooded plateau, which heIG up the French in their initial drive from Soissons.
 While the French guns thunder against these three German strong holds there is comparative inactivity on the British front. That General Haig is preparing for another blow Is taken for granted, and London be- lieves that this blow will not long be withheld.
 French Continue Pressure.
 Paris, April 21.-French troops made further gains last night in grenade fighting south of Juvincourt and east of Courcy. A German att tack against Mont Haut failed, the war office announces.

 If the police are successful in identifying the person, or persons. re- sponsible for recent numerous thefts and mutilations of flags, placed on buildings, verandas and other places by patriotic citizens, Chief Rawlings J. Rawlings plans to appear in court personally to press charges and ask for having the maximum penalty imposed.

 Joseph Richards of 106 Clark street today complained to the police that a flag had been stolen from in front of his house and Charles Gustafson of 125 Clark street reported that a large flag. suspended in front of his home, was badly mutilated last night.
 To Protect War Gardens.
 The strictest of police protection will be given those raising war gardens ,' 1t became known today, and impos- ing of the maximum penalty for theft asked. Warnings will be given that taking the chance of not being caught or being placed on probation as a first offender may prove costly. Since the donation of numerous tracts for war gardens many anxious in- qufraes have been received as to whether it will not be risky to have gardens 50 far from home and where they cannot be given close personal attention. The police intend to CO., operate with the gardners and will keep special watch of the gardens known to be cultivated by persons iiv- ing at 8 distance.
