NEW YORK, March 13.-No war in
to which America may be plunged
can absolve her from the duty OF con-
tinuing to give relief to the starving
and destitute people of Belgium, Her
bert c. Hoover, head + the commits
sior for relief in Belgium, said today
before mis- departure for Europe to take
up with renewed determination the
task in which he has been engaged for
many months. Mr.. Hoover sailed on
neutral ship for a Spanish port and
will go to Paris, London, Rotterdam,
and if conditions permit will enter
Belgium to confer with the American
members of the commission now there.
Meanwhile the campaign to raise re
lief funds will be continued in America.
If there is no war between the
United States and Germany, this mon
ey will be distributed in Belgium by
Americans and in northern France by
Hollanders if Mr.. Hoover is able to
make satisfactory arrangements with
the Dutch government. If war comes,

ditional evidence that the liberals have
virtually decided to substitute a cam
paign of fire and pillage for an Or
ganized military movement is con-
tanned in report of a meeting held
yesterday at Songo, the headquarters
of Major Rigoberto Fernandez, one of
the rebel leaders.
Although his lieutenants, dissented,
Fernandez insisted, according to re-
ports, that guerilla warfare must be
begun. He urged the sending of bands
bearing torches into every growing dis
trict, it is said, with instructions to
burn, loot and bring desoation.
Fernandez declaration that he is de-
termined to force American interven-
ton found echo today from other
prominent liberals who are confident
in the justice OF their cause and believe
that Washington will act.
Quiet prevails at Santiago and all
the other points wnere American naval
forces are ashore.

Bagdad,s Capture
Republican A. r. Leased WireJ


LONDON, March 13.-Lieutenant
General F. S. Maude, telegraphing
Sunday night gives the following de-
tails leading up to and subsequent to
the capture of Bagdad early Sunday:
Saturday evening we maintained
close touch with the enemy on both
banks of the Tigris south of Bagdad.
During the night the enemy evacuated
his entire trench line, while we
pushed forward in close contact. Be
fore dawn on Sunday general ad-
vance on both banks was ordered and
at 5:55 a. m. we occupied the railway
station, the city being entered shortly
afterwards. Our cavalry pushed for
ward in pursuit and after slight re-
sistance occupied Kazimain, capturing
over 100 prisoners and four damaged
airplanes.
Our gunboats now took up the pur-
suit.
During this recent fighting, fierce
gales and binding dust storms, the
lack of water away from the river and
the vigorous pursuit made the opera
tions arduous.
Since February % the Turks have
been busy destroying and removing
everything valuable in Bagdad.
"A considerable amount of booty
nevertheless fell into our hands, in
Guiding large quantities of equipment,
arms and ammunition. Five hundred
| Turks wounded also were abandoned
by the enemy.
con the left bank of the Tigris be-
tween 200 and 300 Turkish dead were
counted on Saturday and 300 pris-
oners were taken.
'On entering the city of Bagdad the
local inhabitants gave us warm well
come Slight disturbances occurred
in the city consequent upon the
| Turkish evacuation but complete or
der was restored when our troops

in the hands OF men entirely great,
the pen is mightier than the sword"
said Walter Williams, dean of the
School of Journalism, University OF
Missouri, in his talk before members
of the Nebraska Press association in
session at Happy Hollow club.
He treated journalism as the chief
weapon of democracy. He pointed
out the necessity of open publicity in
national affairs and the necessity OF
absolute honesty on the part of the
newspaper men in removing all po-
litical bias from information given out
during the current crisis.
The people who fight this war and
pay for it have right to know what
is going on. You are to keep them
informed, and informed correctly.

there could not print the facts con-
cerning the secret diplomacy which
has been going on for years"
1OO muSl lulOlCIdHCc.
The speaker held that there is too
much of tendency toward intoler-
ance of the views of others regarding
the present war.
TO charge man who does not
agree with you in regard to the pol
icy of he war with being pro-Ger-
man may evidence the poverty of
our vocabulary, but it does not make
for the safety of the commonwealth" "
He held also that foolish charges
of Stacker states" were made
throughout the country after the re-
turns of the draft registration came
in, though the charges were based
on nothing more than the fact that
large percentage OF those who reg
istered had answered the question on
the registration card regarding
exemption claims. He pointed out
that the question was expected to
be answered, else it would not haze
been put there, and criticised those
who used the volume of answers as
evidence of Stacker spirit.
ldlkS on Advertising.
Herman Black, publisher of the
Chicago American, touched on the
many obstacles placed in the way of
the effectiveness of newspaper adver-
tising even after the advertising has
been bought and paid for. He said
these obstacles are placed in its
Way by the very men who buy the
space and should be most interested.
Merchants utilizing advertising
space" he said, "are often negligent
about dressing up their window dis
plays in harmony with the advertising
for the day. and particularly about
putting their salespeople into har-
mony with the advertising for the
day.

store in answer to the advertisements

the whole scheme had been changed
and that the house is not willing to
make good the claims of its paid ad-
vertisements, but is pursuing another
policy entirely.

create a difficult and delicate situa-
ton, since the young czar would
always think of his absent parents,
and perhaps, in his heart, father and
mother. In addition, it was question
able whether the regent could take
the oath of allegiance to the consti-
tuition on behalf of the young car.
Yet such and oath under the present
circumstances would be absolutely
necessary in order to prevent again a
dubious situation.
"The obstacle, if Michael Alex
androvitch were to ascend the throne,
would be- removed, since he could
take the oath and become constitu-
tional monarch. In this way we gave
our consent to the cars abdication
in favor of Michael Alexandrovitch
THE car then asked us whether
we could assume the responsibility
and give him guarantee that his alb
dication would really calm the coun-
try and would not provoke complica-
tions. To this we replied that. so far
as we could foresee, there would be
no complications.
"The czar rose and went into the
next car to sign the act of abdication.
At about quarter past II he re-entered
our car, holding in his hands some
small sheets of paper. He said:

"The car Immediately agreed and
added the words on the spot, merely
altering one of them so that the
phrase ran as follows:
"'And to take an inviolable oath.
Thus Michael Alexandrovitch was to
take an oath of fidelity to the consti-
tuition, and would have been a strictly
constitutional monarch.
