these influences can be attributed in
a large measure the disintegrauon

easy prey for the socialists propa-

These demands include a four hour
working day, 700 per cent increase in
wages months holiday, two
months extra wages at Easter and
Christmas, and a general usurpation
of owners privileges which would be
tantamount to confiscation of factor

pecially serious. With the compile

" ApilI 30
II welcome the inquiry of your
letter of April 10. because l have
realized the truth of what you say
from my own observation, namely.
that what is meant to be understood
by the selective draft is not gener-
ally understood throughout the eoun-
try.
"The process of the draft is, think,
very clearly set forth in the bill draft
ed by the war department and which
so earnestly hope the congress will
adopt, but it is worth while to state
the idea which underlies the bill lit
tie more fully.
Full Mobilization Needed.
II took occasion the other day in
an address to the people of the coun
try to point out the many forms of
patriotic service that were open to
them and to emphasize the fact that
the military part of the service was
by no means the only part, and per-
haps all things considered, the most
vital part Our object is a mobiliza-
tion of all the productive and active
forces of the nation and their devel-
opment to the highest point of coop

of the selective draft is that those
should be chosen for service in the

The southern part of the linden
burg line in France continues to
crumble or fall back before the forces
of the French General Nivelle. Thurs
day witnessed additional important
gains by the French at numerous
points from scissors eastward to the
old Champagne and also the capture
of men and guns. In the latter region
northwest of Auberive the French
captured strongly fortified German
trenches on a front of a mile and a
quarter and made prisoner $50 Ger
mans. Northeast of scissors the vii
lagos of Aisy, Jouy and Laffaux and
Fort De Conde were captured by the
French, while to the east, near Hurte-
bise another point of support fell into
their hands and with it 500 prisoners
and two cannon.
Artillery Action Violent.
Violent artillery actions are in prog
ress between the Somme and the
Aisne, in the Champagne; near lie
Mort Homme, in the Verdun sector,
and in Belgium around Dixmude.
Paris reports that Wednesday night
the Germans threw twelve divisions of
fresh men into the fray between Sois-
sons and AuberiVe in an attempt to
hold General Nivelle's forces back, but
that their efforts were unavailing. The
Berlin official statement says German
counter northwest of Auberive
compensated for the enemy's gain OF
terrain" 1t is admitted by Berlin
that the Germans near Vile Aux Bois
retreated to new lines, being unable to
withstand the intensity of the French
fire.
Comparative quiet prevails on that
part of the line in France held by the
British. The latest official commun-
ication dealing with the Arras-Lens
sector reports slight gains for British
forces south of Monchy-Le-PreuX and
Fampoux and also to the north in the
Loos sector, where prisoners were
taken.
Drive Against PetrOgrad.
While the Petrograd war office an
n0unCeS tnat tne acllNlty oh tle SdSI
ern front has consisted merely of rifle
firing and scouting operations, reports
from Petrograd, said to have been
made public by the Russian general
staff. are that the Germans on the
northern part of the front in Russia,
backed by their fleet are preparing
for a great attack on the Russian right
wing, probably with the intention of
attempting to isolate Petrograd from
the main Russian armies.
Considerable fighting is taking
place in Macedonia, with the Teutonic
allies the aggressors. Attacks in the
Cerna river region and between Lakes
Ochrida and Presba, according to
Paris, were repulsed. Violent artil-
lery duels are taking place in the dis
tricts of Monastir and Tsrvena Stena
and on the right bank of the Vardar
near Mayadag.
Reciprocal air fighting is in prog
ress between the Austrians and Ital-
ians.

(6 u. M, via London, April 10. $50
ID. m.).-With conflict existing be-
tween the government and the coun-
ell of workmen's and soldiers depu-
ties one cannot speak of sole strong
power in Russia, because a power
which is menaced is not a power but
a semblance of power, says the Russ
kia VOLTA, statement which is con-
sidered a conservative estimate OF
existing internal conditions.
Optimistic assurances that the dan
ger from the breach between the
two governments Is only trivial are
transitory and eXtravagant State
ments to the effect that the country
is facing complete disaster are equal
ly misleading. II is not an exag-
geration to say that the economic
disturbance caused by the revolution
has raised a problem, the solution of
which is not yet in sight.
No Power Anywhere.
As at present constituted, the gov
eminent is without means to enforce
any of its mandates except by appeals
to the patriotism of the people.
Without any strong central authority
the masses realize that power is in
their own hands.
The existing breach dates from the
triumph of the revolution, when the
council OF wor-.met's and soldiers
deputies issued instructions to the
people TO disregard the orders of the
government, whore these conflicted
with those of the council. In this
connection the Russltia VOLTA says
today:
Position Is Difficult.
The position of the temporary
government is most difficult because
it is not supported by any parliament.
The council of delegates is a live
force, but it cannot take the place of
a real parliament. The situation is
more difficult inasmuch as the revo-
lutionary council is not always clear
and the composition of the council it
self is not definite. On the other
hand the council is power in COM
petition with the government
I'VE are far from the belief that
there is any conflict which cannot be
settled between the two bodies"
There is evidence that the council
of deputies are endeavoring TO influ-
ence the country to support the gov
ernment. Their task. however, is
rendered difficult by few radical
