I. R. Tells How Territory
Should By Arranged.
TURKS MUST QUIT EUROPE
Says Democratic Russia at CONSTANT
nople Will Threaten No One, Bel
GUM and France Should BE Restor-
ed and Austria-Hungary Divided.

New York May 9.-In outlining
what our peace terms should be Colo
mel Theodore Roosevelt, i'm an article
to appear in the June Metropolitan
magazine, writes: The Germans
would keep Germany, would lose moth
ing except the right to oppress others,
would suffer no injustice" The arti-
Gle follows in part
'The Prussianized Germany of the
Hohenzollerns has shown itself even
more the enemy of freedom and hu-
manity and justice and international
right than was Napoleon's France.
Let us strive for the peace of justice
and of international right.
Did they but know it, the German
people themselves would benefit by
our victory; and especially the peo-
pie of South Germany and of Aus
tria, who would be free from the ty-
ranny OF Prussia. and would be guar
anteed in their rights surely more
than an offset for not being allowed
to wrong others.
Belgium and France must have all
that has been taken from them re-
stored The Turks must leave Eu-
rope-a democratic Russia at Con
stantinople will threaten no one. Ar
menia should be freed and autonomous
Fixes Future of Austria.
Austria is not a country, but a
knot of nationalities. of which two
tyranize over the others. Let Hun
garians keep Magyar-IIungary and
the Austrians Germ2n-Austria. Lei
the Italians have the Trentina and
Trieste
Let there be great Serbia, a
great Bohemia, a great Roumania. Po
land should once more be a nation
which should include all the Polish
lands and have an outlet on the Baltic
through old Polish Prussia old West
Prussia
East Prussia, which is German
would be unayoidahly separated from
the other German lands. but it could
be kept united with them politically
and also commercially by arrange
ments for through railway traffic
such as we have with Canada as re
CARDS our international railroads
'Ireland should have home rule;
seek Justice for every one; the Dane
of North SchlesWig, the Finn. the
Uniate. the Caucasian in Russia.
"Endeavor to secure a guarantee ot
real religious freedom and fair plal
for Catholic. Protestant. Orthodox anC
lew alike"

Ottawa, May 9.-The Canadians de
feated eight German divisions and
captured nine villages and more than
5000 prisoners between April and
May 3. according to a dispatch re-
ceived here from Canadian army head
quarters in France.
Their booty, the message said, com
prised sixty-four guns and howitzers

IMMEDIATE USE
FOR ENCINEERS
War Department Calls for
Nine Regiments.
QUICK SLRYlCE In FRANCE

Eighteen Thousand Skilled Men Will
Be Recruited at Once, in Addition to
Pending Military Program--Little
Training Required and Units viii
6e Rushed to the Front.
Washington. May 9-The war de.
partment announced that orders had
been sent out for the raising of nine
regiments Of engineers for duty at the
earliest possible moment on the com.
munication lines in France These
troops will be in addition to the
forces contemplated in the administra-
tions army plans Recruiting points
for the regiments will be New York
city, St Louis, Chicago, Boston, Pitts
burg. Atlanta, San Francisco and
Philadelphia.
1t was explained that the engineer
forces were not in any way connect
ed with the army organization plan
ned by the war department and al
ready made known.
They represent an addition to the
total military preparedness program
upon which the country is now en-
gagged In effect the regiments will
lie additional technical units of the
army which the administration bill
authorizes the president to organize
in whatever numbers and on what
ever plans he deems best
Force Totals $4,000.
The strength of an engineer regi.
ment is approximately 1000 men
which would make a total of $4,000
men to be assembled in the new force
AS ii Is specified that the troops are
for use on communication lines. pre-
sumably on railways, highways and
telephone and telegraph lines. it is
assumed that the men Will be drawn
as far as possible from railway EN-
ployes and the forces Of the telegraph
and telephone companies.
Additional officers to supplement
those detailed from the active list OF
the army or from the officers reserve
corps probably would be sought among
the engineers now engaged with work
OF the same character as that which
the troops viii be called upon to do in
France
Because of the technical nature OF
the tasks before them it is regarded
as probable that no preliminary mill
tary training will be necessary foI
these troops and that they can be
sent forward as rapidly as they car
be recruited offcered and supplied
with personal equipment

British Steadily Closing in
on TeutOn Forces.
BATTLE FOR BULLEC0URT
&C mans in That Section Are Offering
Bitter Resistance and General Haiqs
Time Until Village Falls.

London, May 9.-The great human
nippers which General Haig has forged
around the southern end of the Dro
court-Queant switch line are steadily
closing and the rolling up of this i'm
portant section Of the German de
fenses appears to be matter OF a
few days
The Drocourt-Queant line is the
hastily improvised barrier thrown up
by Field Marshal Won Hindenburg to
protect Cambria and DouSi after the
more famous line, named in honor OF
himself, had been smashed by the
British.
The bitter resistance offered by the
Germans TO the British advance cen
tered in their defense of Bullecourt
two and a half miles east of Queant
To the south the British have forged
well beyond Queant, but have been
forced to mark time until Bullecourt
falls The capture of the village was
entrusted to Australians and these
hard fighting colonials have almost
surrounded the German stronghold
Its surrender or extinction is expect
ed momentarily.
The Drocourt-Queant line forms a
broad salient in the British front al
its top and paralleling the Douai
Cambria line Drocourt is seven miles
from Douai and Queant about ten
miles from Cambria.
German Grip Is Broken.
The crushing in of this salient will
mean that the German grip on the
great Lens coal region will be broken
and the entire German line in North
ern France imperiled.
News from the Western front is not
merely being suppressed i'm Berlin
but is being doctored for the consump
tion of German newspaper readers
Discrepancies between the German
and allies official versions are ap
parently arousing suspicious in some
German minds at least, and Berlin
newspapers are being bombarded with
questions that their military critics
have some difficulty in answering.
There is significance also in the
fact that the German emperor in the
latest of his congratulatory kilograms
speak of a serious and decisive
time" instead of eXulting over vic
tories. real or imaginary.
Apart from France the only fight
ing of significance reported from the
war theater is taking place in Mace
donia. The reports from this front
are meager. but they indicate an in
creasing activity which may presagt
a general offensive by the allies

BREAD PRICES ADVANCING
Ffteen-cent Loaf Becomes Reality In
Chicago.

Chicago, May 9.-The 15-eent bread
loaf has arrived
Local bakers preparing the hungry
public for the added touch" began in
serting explanatory advertisements in

Likewise the word is being slipped
along that the 6-cent loaf is to give
