DEMAND FOR FREEDOM BECOMES
|NS|STENT IN GERMANY; CHANGE
MUST Be MADE WITHOUT DELAY
Newspapers and Political Leaders, Other Than Privileged
Classes, Declare Liberal Government Must Be- EStab
Ished at Once to CounteraCt Tempest of Words Pub
lie Opinion.
(By Morning Journal Special Leased Wire.)

Copenhagen. April 6 (via London,
$50 p. m.)-America's entry into the
war evidently has had an Immediate
strong effect upon the reform move
ment in Germany. The conviction
that the instant modernization of the
Prussian constitution and the proc
lamation of more democratic basis
Of government and diplomacy in the
empire, without waiting for the end
of the war, is necessary as a military
and political measure to counteract
the tempest of the worlds public
opinion" as the Vorwaerts puts it, is
evidently gaining ground in all except
reactionary circles.
Cannot Dictate Terms.
The demand that Germany follow
the example of Austria Hungary and
declare itself in favor of a peace with
out annexations is heard from moder-
ate liberal as well as from socialist
quarters. This demand no longer rep
resents alone the belief of many
thinking persons that annexation
would be against the real interests OF
Germany but also the realization that
after the United States joined the
ranks of the enemy the time has pass

ed when Germany could hope to die
tate terms.
Must Eventually Submit.
The Associated Press correspondents
heard this view in even glommier
terms from various sides in Germany
at the time of the rupture of relations
between the United States and Ger
many, namely, that if the United
States decided to take an active part
in the war, Germany could no longer
hope to gain a victory, but, after hold
ing out for year and a half or two
years, must inevitably submit to the
economic pressure of the blockade.
Reforms Pressing.
Significant evidence of this change
in sentiment is given by yesterdays
leader in the Vorwaerts on America
The Enemy" The Vorwaerts,
which only few days ago character
iZed the reform movement as a ques-
ton of secondary importance to that
of securing peace with Russia, de-
clares that the adaptation of the anti
quated constitutional forms in Ger
many to those prevalent in the rest
of the civilized world is the burning
question of the hour.

lo' MOHNiNS JoOHhAL SPECIAL LEASED WlPHl
Washington, April 6,--The German
vessels, laid up in American harbors
for safety at the outbreak Of the war
in Europe, were seized early today i'm
mediately after the house passed the
war resolution. Their crews will be
removed to immigration detention
stations, there to be treated as aliens
admissible to the country if able to
pass the ordinary immigration tests.
The fact that many are naval reserv-
lists will not serve to bar them.
There were indications today that
damage done to the ships by their
crews when relations between the
United States and Germany were
broken will be repaired and the ships
put into the transatlantic trade to
transport supplies to the allies.
Vast Gross Tonnage.
Tonnage of the vessels seized
amounts to $4,000 gross tons. That
tonnage could not be built in Ameri-
can yards in less than a year and
some of the larger ships, notably the
Vaterland could not be produced in
several years.
All the ships will have 10 be dry
docked before they can be made sea-

British efforts to reach the Cam
brai-St. Quentin road and to drive a
salient into the German lines between
these two important points outflank-
ing both, continue successfully. In OPP
erations near Ronssov, ten miles north
of st. Quentin, Field Marshal Haig' s
men have captured Lempiere. five
miles east of the Camhrai-St Quen-
tin road and thirteen miles southwest
Of Cam6rai. Prisoners were taken by
the British and large numbers of Ger
man dead are reported by London to
have been found.
Germans Lose Heavily.
The Germans lost severely in the
operations between Arras and st.
Quentin during the last week, London
reports. Many German dead were
found by the British Southeast of
Arras the British have made progress
northeast of Nos~ail after stiff fight
ing East of Arras and near Wyts-
chaete the British made raids.
French troops continue to recover
ground captured by the Germans
northwest of Rheims, where Berlin
reports 827 French soldiers were
taken in the capture of French posi-
tions. Paris reports that grenade at
tacks brought French successes in re-
conquering lost ground east of Sapig-

The German successes at the Toboly

also took fifteen guns and $50 ma

A state of war exists between the
United States and Germany.
When President Wilson signed his
proclamation, declaring that a state of
war exists, the United States for the
second time since 1914, entered into
war with an European power. Seizure
of all self-interned German ships In
American waters has been carried out
and war measures are being hurried
to completion.
Brazil May Join Entente.
While the United States is the first
republic of the western hemisphere to
join the ranks of the belligerents in
the world war, there are indications
that her step soon may be followed by
others. President Menocal of Cuba
has urged the Cuban congress to de-
clare that a state of war exists be-
tween Cuba and Germany. Anti-Ger-
man feeling is reported high in Brazil
after the sinking of a Brazilian mer-
chant vessel, and Brazil also may join
in defending herself against German
methods of naval warfare.

tonnage of $4,000, will have to be
towed to Balboa to be docked. The
earliest time estimated to put any of
the vessels into service is three

BRITISH PRIME
MINISTER SENDS
MESSAGE To j. s.
Presidents Address to Con-
gresS Marks Historic Epoch
in Crusade of Democracy,
He Says,
t.v norsINa Iounna. SPECIAL LsAsso wIEE1

London, April 6.-Premier Lloyd
George today gave to the American
newspaper on behalf of the war cab
met the following:
America has at one bound become
d world power in sense she never
was before. She waited until she
found a cause worthy of her tradi-
tions. The American people held back
until they were fully convinced the
fight was not a sOrdd scrimmage for
power and possessions, but an unself-
ish struggle to overthrow a sinister
conspiracy against human liberty and
human rights.
Leaps Into Arena,
"Once that conviction was reached
the great republic of the west has
leaped into the arena and she stands
now side by side with the European
democracies who. bruised and bleed
ing after three years of grim conflict,
are still fighting the most savage foe
that ever menaced the freedom of the
world
"The glowing phrases of the presi-
dents noble deliverance illume the
horizon and make clearer than ever
the goal we are striving to reach.
There are three phrases which
the crusade. The first is that the
world must lie safe for democracy;
the next, the menace to peace and
freedom lies in the existence of auto
cratic government backed by organ
lied force which is controlled wholly
by their will and not by the will of
their peoples; and the crowning
phrase is that in which he declares
that "a steadfast concert for peace
can never be maintained except by
the partnership of democratic ma
tions.'
Stands for Unity of Right.
These words represent the faith
which inspires and sustains our
people in the tremendous sacrifices
they have made and are still making
They also believe that the unity and
peace of mankind can only rest upon
democracy, upon the right of those
who submit to authority to have a
voice in their own government: upon
respect for the rights and liberties of
nations both great and small and
upon the universal dominion of pub
lie right.
ITO all these the Prussian military
autocracy is an implacable foe.
THE imperial war cabinet, repre-
sentative of all the peoples of the
British empire, wish me on their be-
half to recognize the chivalry and
courage which call the people of the
United States to dedicate the whole
of their resources to the greatest
causes that ever engaged human en-
deavor."
