APERTlHlCIOuS DEMAND.

deputies that not only the represent

Itself has a right to be informed as 10
the facts and conduct OF the war and
that secret sessions might we'll be re-.
served for other matters At the same
time the demand and the fight for
complete control OF news by offlcialdom
was renewed in the United States by
the president by again demanding the
censorship provision in the espionage
oil. power that had been refused.
The French people have offered an
example Of patriotic determination and
national solidarity as Spartan as The
mOmpylae. They are TO be trusted
with the facts. More. as the premier
says they have a right 20 know. And
all that Is true OF the French people
Is as true Of the American people They
are 20 be trusted. They have the right
TO know for they are to fight the war
with the blood and the inheritances of
their sons.
We shall stand by the president"
We Of this country, because ne is the
executive branch Of government and
we shall stand by congress because it
is The legislative branch OF government
but we shall stand by the people be-
| cause they are the government. In
short this country will stand by the
country and without question now that
we are involved in this war. There Is
a difference, however, between standing
by the country and the president and
complete submission to demands of any
official however high whatsoever those
demands may be. There Is q very i'm
portant difference between standing by
one branch OF government to the dis
missal OF other branches and standing
by the president, the congress and the
people as a government. It Is the diff
ference between a republican form OF
government and an autocracy, between
kaiserism and democracy.
We shall need the president and
congress and ourselves, all OF us and
each OF us. in this war upon which
we have entered and OF which none
sees the end and event. No one mar
is sufficient, however convinced he may
be OF his own sufticiency. We neet

Makes Car. Work Harder.

Railroad car efficiency in tho United
States increased per cent in 1915 over
1918, the previous best year. This Is
equivalent to an increase Of $4,000 cars
over the total 100000 now in use on
our railroads, according to the Railway
Age Gazette, which also estimates the
mileage per car per day in the fiscal
year 1915 at 81, as compared with 24.6
in 1913. At the same time, the average
car capacity his risen from 3s tons
to Al tons.

Resting After Successful Raid
on Germans at Ypres.
Artillery Busy.
GERMANS QUIT ATTACK
Russians Entrenched on Right
Bank of Dvina and leu
tons Halt Advance.

In none of the battle areas of Eu-
rope has there been any marked ac-
tivity in the last twenty-four hours.
Crown Prince Rupprecht, of Bava-
ria, finding his efforts to dislodge the
British from their recent gains in the
Ypres salient Intellectual, has ceased
his infantry attacks and resorted to
artillery. The British are resting af-
ter their effort of Thursday, having
gained all but few minor posts of
the detectives desired and having
taken 3,243 prisoners, but their big
guns still hammer the German posi-
tons and their aviators harass the
airdomes, dumps, environments and
other military points behind the Ger
man lines. Northeast of Gouzeau
court, between ArraS and St. Quen-
tin, the British carried out success
full raid into the German trenches.
On the rest of the Western front
French and Germans have been con-
tent to lombard eachother.
HALT IN ADVANCE ON RUSSIA.
Having captured the Jacobstadt
bridgehead, south of Riga, and forced
the Russians to retire to the right
bank of the Dvina, for some distance
north and south of the bridgehead,
the Germans have halted their ad-
vance here. Petrograd reports the
Russians entrenched on the right bank
of the Dviha and bombarding the
Germans in their new positions. To-
ward Riga the Russians in fighting on
Saturday advanced and drove back
the German advance guards near the
village of Budna.
Gen. Cadorna, in his report on op-
erationS in the region north { est of
Gorilla, chronicles the repulSe of ad-
ditional Austro-Hungarian attacks on
the Bainsizze plateau. In the region
Monte Marmolad,, northwest of Trent,
the Italians, after exploding a mine,
captured two advance positions from
the Austro-Hungarians.
The loss of a British destroyer, tor
pedoed and sunk by a German sub
marine, is announced by the British
admiralty. Fifty members of the
crew were saved.
Argentina prabably will not declare
war on Germany at this time, al
though no decision has vet been
reached. Action by the Argentine
chamber of deputies was halted early
Sunday by the announcement that an

ceived from the Berlin foreign ofics.
