By the "Westliche Post" of st. Louis,
Macmillan Harden is called "a worthy
ally of British instigators and calumnia-
tors" A compliment to our English ally.
Americans are accused Of rowdyism by
the Philadelphia Gazette" in an article
devoted to the question whether the Ger
man-Americans will go back to their
Fatherland after the war. Says the ar
ticle:
'In the old country those who will go back
will be regarded and treated as equals, and
not as tolerated individuals who may be
licked any time a rowdy or Knownothing likes
TO do So"
1t cannot be supposed that the author
Of this article had the intention to create
American patriotism in his readers. 1t is
significant that one Of the members OF
"The Gazette" editorial staff, Herr Max
Heinrich, who is official press agent Of the
, National German-American Alliance
mailed last year circular to German
American newspapers that reads in part:
America would do well not to become toe
fresh. Otherwise it might be that the Ger
man Michael comes overnight and whips ole
Uncle Sam just as heartily as he deserves
Better to Leave Before
The Taxes Go Up
The Gazette" advises the German
Americans TO emigrate to the old country
because "after the war we will have, prob
ably, to pay more taxes in this land OF
plenty than the citizens Of any other coun'
try, as soon as the payments Of the bill
ions we borrow for the war will begin"
The Detroit "Abendpost" attempts to
create the impression that Germany's
U-boat war will finally triumph over the
Allies. OF course, there applies the Ger
man saying, der Wunsch list der Water
des Gedankens" (the wish Is the father OF
the thought).
Economic conditions In America are
,neered at by the Detroit "Abendpost" in
the following language' "Only one person

Aeroplanes Flew. but Did
Not Hurl Bombs Down

The same country states openly that it
regards Germany as its country and the
Allies as its enemies by saying: Enemy
seronauts few, according to an Amster-
dam report, over the fortress of Cologne,
hut did not hurl bombs down."

Of these, in 1914, only few Socialists
dared to oppose the aggressive policy Of
the Kaiser, while almost the entire Reichs-
tag was in favor of war. Whether this
stand Of the Imperial Diet was influenced
by the activity of the pan-Germanic
press, which has especially enjoyed the
favor and support of the German govern
ment, or whether it was due directly to
the activity of the Kaiser and his agents
is a question. But the fact remains that
since Germany's invasion Of Belgium more
and more members of the Reichstag have
been leaving the Kaiser's side and becom-
ing strong opponents Of war.
Slowly the opponents Of the Kaiser
were growing in force. First, one after
another, the various socialist parties
stepped out actively against the govern.
ment And the recent demand of the
Centrist party through its spokesman,
Herr Erzberger, upon the Kaiser, asking
for peace without indemnities and an.
nexations, algns the majority of the
Reichstag against the policy of the Ger.
man government, since out Of the 397
votes Of the Diet the Socialists and Cens
trists have POI votes.
Now, if the German Reichstag does rep
resent the German people, what does this
strong opposition Of the largest German
representative body mean? And will the
Kaiser succeed in breaking the will Of the
Reichstag?

trian desire for peace and by the Wilson
ian and the Lloyd George demands for
characterization, and that she hopes, by
making cheap shift, to sop the NAL
contents and push all such nonsense
aside" for another year.
From London comes this suggestion of
compromise:
Though in some quarters there is a ten
dcncy to interpret the resignation Of Won
Bethmann Hollweg as a victory for the Pam
Germans, it is generally agreed that Michaelis
really represents compromise party rather
than the extremists of either faction"
From Frances comment one derives
faint hope. The Temps" thinks DR..
Michaelis superior TO his predecessor on
two points-he has been successful and
has character. His success has been shown
in his position as Food Commissioner, his
character is shown by his speech last
March in the Prussian Chamber, from
which the Temps" quotes the following:
mo one shall make me swerve. Iwould not
accept an Office which would be but an edge
less sword"
The Journal des Debats" says edi-
torially:
The Importance of the change does not
consist in the substitution of persons, but in
the cause which made it impossible to retain
the retiring Chancellor"
The Petit Parisien" is one of the news
papers that are not optimistic over the de-
velopment, saying:
Though the Chancellor changes. the Ger
man masters remain the same. Bethmsnn-
Hollweg would never have been disavowed
had the hopes of his masters been realized
by victory. He who gets his portfolio will
inherit his burden and the same insurmount-
able difficulties"
Representatives of the Berlin press were
received on Saturday by General Luden-
dortf, who discussed the military situation.
He said the situation on all fronts was ia
vorable
The Pan-German Independent League
met and adopted resolution of protest
against the proposed peace action of the
Reichstag majority, declaring the adoption
Of the majority programme would result in
the indefinite continuance of the war and
the political and economic ruin Of the Ger
mans.
In the "Vossische Zeitung' Georg Bern
hard openly accuses Dr.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg and his foreign secretary, DR..
Zimmerman, of having played double
game with Washington, making war in
evitable by attempts to deceive and mis-
lead President Wilson in regard to the
policy and intentions of Germany.

Concerning the Embargo There
Is Much Apprehension

Under the headline New Power Well
Applied" the "Abendpost," Of Chicago,
says editorially: president Wilson's en-
barge policy is intended to cut out all ex-
ports TO Germany except sufficient food for
women and children" and thereby pleads
with the United States not to cut down the
exports to the Scandinavian countries and
Holland SO much as to prevent them from
supplying "Germany's women and children
with sufficient food" thereby making the
German harvests available for the military
exclusively.
The "Waechter und Anzeiger," of Cleve-
land, the paper of Waldemar Won Nostitz,
whom this country interned as dangerous
alien enemy, contrasts, in an article "The
Child in the War;" by H. F. Urban for
L erly Of New York and now Of Berlin)
the German character with that of the
Allies, saying: 1T 1.-THE world is full of
meanness, baseness, hysteria, lies and
brutality-in short, Of wickedness without
equal, and We people of German origin
have only one comfort in the face of this
world, namely, that it is not our own

The Rev. John Haynes Holmes, pas

considered the entry of the United
States into the war would have upon
its international commercial relations

The American government, said NJ.
Cambon, had never cared TO enter into
commercial treaties with other nations
in the European sense; therefore
American imports had not always re-
ceived what was called Favorable ma

declared, would naturally bring to
America more intimate trade relations
which would develop greatly and be-
come permanent in peace.

Rio Crande Rally Tonight
Border Guard Of '16 to Gather
at Webster Hall

The border guard of the summer of
1916 answers a new mobilization call
tonight. This time, although they will
find plenty of cactus and mesquite to
recall the local color of McAllen. Tex,
they won't have to go so far away
only TO Webster Hall, up in East Elev-
enth Street, where the "Rio Grande
Rally" will bring together the veteran
campaigners against the tarantula, the
rattlesnake, the dust storm and the
sun.
The entire chorus Of "Her Soldier
Boy" will be there; Maria Connesa, of
below border fame, will dance LA
Jota," and a sixty-piece Mexican or
chestra will show how much Henry
Guerra's little string band down in
McAllen fell short Of possibilities when
il tried LA Cucaracha."
IT is promised that Pancho Villa, in
the flesh, will positively appear at
1890. But that will be early. There

Ambassador Fletcher Takes
Up Question of Mobili-
cation at Torreon
Arms Embargo to Stay
Government Minimizes Report
of Teuton Exodus Across
the Border
lTrom Ths Tnhnns Rur,anl

Washington, March 2S.-Offcials to-
day refused to reveal the extent to
which the German menace has been
discussed with the Carranza govern
ment. 1t is understood, however, that
the matter of checking it has been
taken up with General Carranza him
self by Ambassador Fletcher. It was
admitted that reports of a German
mobilization at Torreon had been re-
ceived.
The number of German subjects al
ready in that country was declared to
be comparatively small, the highest es-
innate placing them at $4,000. Diplo-
mats asserted that the German influ-
ence with the Mexican government sp-
pears to be greater than that of any
other country, the United States not
excepted.
Mexico is anxious for the United
States 20 lift the embargo upon the ex-
portation of arms and ammunition to
Mexico, but il was believed by close
be improbable that the embargo would
be removed for a considerable time, and
certainly not during any difficulties in
which the United States might be en-
gagged with another foreign power.
The War Department made the fol-
lowing announcement to-day:
"Press reports have indicated recent
ly that many Germans are crossing into
Mexico. Reports from our intelligence
officers, which include records of the
immigration officials at various points,
do not confirm these reports. Since
February there have been but three
crossings at Brownsville and seventy
eight at Laredo; none at other points.
OF these crossings at Laredo thirty
nine have returned to the United
States. The FL Paso report shows many
crossings back and forth. but only by
residents in the usual transaction Of
business"
The State Department announced that
Ignacio Bonillss, designated Mexican
Ambassador to the United States, had
left Mexico City for Washington. Re
ports to the department indicated that
economic conditions, as we'll as polit-
ical, are improving in all parts of Mex
leo except in the northern states, where
Villas following and influence still are
considerable.
The political betterment elsewhere
was attributed TO the dispatching to
Mexico of an American Ambassador.

Plan cad" Campaign
To Aid Recruiting
Advertising Men Offer Their
Services to National Coun-
Gil of Defence
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington. March %. Tho Counci,
of National Defence began work to-day
on a plan for i national advertising
campaign to stimulate recruiting. par
ticularly for the navy. Several promi-
nent advertising men have formed a
board. and to-day they offered their
services to Secretaries Daniels and
Baker. who referred them TO W. ). Gif-
ford. director of the Council of Ma
tional Defonce.
Their IDEA is that a campaign similar
to those conducted to bring out the men
and the money of England would quick
ly fill the ranks of the navy.
"The navy needs youl" and similar
slogans calling the youth to arms prob
ably will appear within a few weeks.
Copies of all the recruiting posters
used in England are on the way here
to be used as models.
The committee which called on the
War and Navy Secretaries to-day was
headed by Herbert 5. Houston, presl-
dent of the Associated Advertising AS
ISOLATION. and included William II. Ran
kin. president Of the Western Adyer-
Using Agents Association, Chicago; o.
J. GUIDE. New York; Thomas II. Moore
of the American Newspaper Publishers
Association, and o. c. Harm. OF the
Association Of National Advertisers.
Mr.. Houston described the object
sought as being the distribution
through the advisory board, Of adver
Using calling for mobilization of men
or money for war purposes. Secretary
McAdoo also has been consulted.
The advisory board, which includes
five representatives of the advertising
agents and five representatives Of the
National ADVERTISER Association. in
addition to one representative Of each
class of advertising medium. probably
will act as a branch of the National
defence Council

Against Bombardment
Legislation Planned to Permit
War Risk Policies

Albany, March 2S.-Legislation in

in the state to insure against damage
from bombardment, either from land,
sea or air, will be introduced to-mor-
row by Senator James F. Towner and
Assemblyman William s. Coffey, chair

The legislation was recommended by
the State Superintendent of Insurance,
who ruled that under existing laws
such policies could not be issued. 1t
is understood that several lombard
ment risks in New York City have been
written by foreign companies, but do
mastic corporations have heretofore
been forbidden to engage in this class
of business.
