WAR AIMS OF U. S.
GERMANY MUST UNDO WRONGS
1T INFLICTED, ASSERTS PREsl-
DENT IN NOTE TO RUSSIA,
KAISER PLOTS FOR PEACE
Demands Change in Pre-War Status
Quo to Conform With Human
Rights Opposes Indemnities
Except as Reparation.

Washington. June 12.-PreSideDt
Wilson in a communication to the new
government of Russia has made plain
the war aims of the United States and
Its position on mo annexations, no
lndemnities." The principal terms on
which the United States insist are:
"No territory must change hands ex-
cept for the purpose Of securing those
who inhabit it a fair chance of life and
liberty.
mo indemnities must be insisted on
except those that constitute payment
for manifest wrong done.
mo establishments of power must
be made except such as will tend 10
secure the further peace of the world
and the future welfare and happiness
of it's people"
The presidents communication was
delivered to the Russian government
at Petrograd. 1t is in part as follows:
1.-THE ruling classes in Germany have
begun Of late to profess a liberal
ity and justice of purpose, but only TO-
preserve the power they have set up IN
Germany and the selfish advantages
which they have wrongly gained for
themselves and their private projects
of power all the way from Berlin to
Bagdad and beyond.
Government after government has.
by their influence, without open con-
quest Of it's territory, been linked to-
gether in net Of intrigue directed
against nothing less than the peace and
liberality of the world. The meshes OF
that intrigue must be broken.
saThe day has come to conquer or
submit. If the forces Of autocracy can
divide us they will overcome us; II
we stand together victory is certain,
and the liberty which victory will Sc
cure. We can afford then to be gen.
erous, but we cannot afford then or
now to be weak or omit any single
guarantee of justice and security.

to Turkeys entrance into the great
war, and is perhaps the last political
act of royal career marked by Sc
ries of ups and downs.
Constantine is believed to be strong
~ pro-German. He was educated by
German tutors at Leipsic and married
a Prussian princess, a sister of
Kaiser Wilhelm. His encourage Is
largely pro-German, many of the
army officers having been trained in
the Teutonic empire.
Constantine's people are, however,
divided. A portion, prompted per-
haps by loyalty to the crown, have
supported the king in his efforts to
keep the nation out of the war, or at
least not to participate in the conflict
on the side of the entente.
VenizeIos' Following.
A strong party, however, led by the
statesman Venizelos, is not only pro-
war but pro-ally.
Effort after effort was made by the
entente and the Veniselists to force
NOuSIdulluG
against the central powers, especially
since the entente troops landed at
Saloniki, tardily taking up operations
In the Balkans following the collapse
of the Gallipoi campaign. But en-
couraged by his queen and the Teu-
tonic league, he resisted onl yto see
his power wane, his subjects break
into revolt and his army locked up in
the PelopannesuS, where it could not
attack the entente forces from the
rear, as it was suspected the German
ic court clique had planned to do, par
ticularly after the outbreak last year
of the military against the entente ex-
petition occupying Athens.
Since then Constantine has been al
most helpless in his realm, entente
emissaries keeping sharp eyes on his
every move, even going so far as to
take over the food distribution Of the
country, and finally comes his abdi-
cation.
Name Significant.
Constantine was born in Athens on
August 8, 1863, the name Constantine
being given him as an indication of
the ambitions of the recently liber-
ated nation to extend it's sway to in
clude the capital Of the Turkish en-
pire, and succeeded his father, George
/, on the throne after his parents as
sassination at Saloniki in 1918.
King George, a Danish prince, had
been placed on the throne largely
through the instrumentality of Great
Britain. He was brother of dow
ager Queen Alexandra and married a
Russian princess. Despite the Brit
ish and Russian influences at court,
however, Constantine, was sent to
Germany to be educated.
The new crown prince first came
into prominence at the time of the
Greek war with Turkey in the late
nineties.
Greece Unprepared.
Constantine had tried to prevent
the conflict, knowing the Hellenic

GEN. PERSHING SAFE
u. S. MAJOR GENERAL ARRIVES
AT BRITISH PORT.
Bio Army Soon to Follow the Conr>
mander, but Naturally Plans
Are Secret

Washington, June 0.-"Black Jack"
Pershing, soldier par excellence and
major general Of the United States
regular army, is in England. Cable
advice announced his arrival at a
British port reached here. With the
sense of qualification which was ex-
pressed by of1cialdom generally over
his safe arrival came realization
that at last the entire united service
is in the war.
From now on units of every branch
Of the service will proceed to France
by selected routes. Pershing's initial
command will be made up Of regulars
and marines. Other divisions, COM
prising such additional regulars as can
be spared and selected units of the Ma
tional Guard which saw service on the
Mexican border will take their places
on the line from time to time.
Later on these forces will be fol-
lowed by the new army to be made up
of the selective conscripted troops, who
viii be taken from the more than ten
million men who registered.
Naturally all plans for sending the
troops to France will be shrouded in
absolute secrecy. Secretary Of War
Newton D. Baker has pointed out the
danger Of speculation as to who is to
go. or the way they are to go. There
will be no announcement ct any time
of units that are going, although after
oou+oir, f,4onnc arrive IT Is QXD0ct00
that the war department will from
time to time authorize announcement
Of their safe arrival.

Counter Attack by Germans
Repulsed by Heavy Artil-
rey Fire.

New York, April 25.--The Asso.
ciated Press sums up the news from
all the battle fronts as follows;
There was a diminution in the in.
tensity Of the fighting between the
British and German armies Tuesday
although battles of great fierceness
continued at several places. Ac-
cording to the British official com.
munication, the advantage rested
with Field Marshal Haig's forces.
Southeast of Arras the British
made progress between the Sence
river and Monchy lie Preux, driving
their lines to within a stones throw
of the villages of Fontaine-L Les Crois-
selles and Cherisy and Strengthening
out the sharp salient that has existed
there.
Northeast of Arras in the Gavrelle
sector the Germans brought a strong
counter attack against the British
but the British guns raked the Ger
man lines and drove it back in disor-
der, and played shells upon the men
in their hurried retreat.
Since. Monday more than 1000
Germans from numerous divisions
have beens made prisoners by the
British and still others are awaiting
transfer to the prison cages.
No infantry attack has developed
from the artillery preparation the
French have been making all along
their front for several days. Tues
day the Germans were heavily bonn
barded on various sectors from st.
Quentin to the Champagne. Among
the booty captured oy the French
during the recent heavy engagements
on the plateau of the Chemin-D Des.
Danes, northeast Of Scissors, are
four of the famous 105 millimetre
German howitzers. These guns now
have been brought into the French
mes and doubtless soon will be used
n the operations against their for
mer owners.

LIEUT.. -GEM. BRIDGES SAYS
VOLUNTEER SYSTEM SUICIDE
WAR CONDITIONS CHANGE
NO LONGER MERELY FIGHT
BETWEEN EXPEDITIONS.

Washington, April 25.--Lieut.'
Gen. Bridges, a member of the Brit,
ish commission, declared here in a
talk with newspaper correspondents
that the British democracy had be.
come "almost fanaticap over uni.
versal military service.
The volunteer system under which
the empire entered the war, General
Bridges said, has cost the lives of the
most valuable citizens, crippled in
dustrial mobilization and immeasur-
ably set back England's efforts in
the war.
"War," said Gen. Bridges, sis no
longer a war of expeditions, but is a
case Of national against nation. Men,
women and children are equally
drawn into its vortex, the women
and children being forced into indus
try and fed on half rations in order
to supply the men at the front. War
has become an immensely democratic
business and needs the full effort of
every member of the community, d.
rected along the lines most necessary
to be saved"
Gen. Bridges talked freely of the
difficulties which had beset England
at the beginning of the war.
"The source of our greatest diff
Guilty." said Gen. Bridges, "was the
sending to Europe of practically our
whole trained army as an expedition
ary force. This robbed us Of all
trained officers for our new armies
and it was only through returned
wounded officers and the withdrawal
of others that we were able to build
the skeleton of our new forces. AT
the same time we allowed most of
cur better class youths, university
men in many cases, to enter the
ranks, which withdrew them from the
officers class and placed that respon-
s.bility on far less well equipped per-
sons. The wastage of the best blood
OF the nation was enormous"
