drawn from those sections where
winter has released many agri-

from the eastern line where they

NOW OR NEVER

NOW okNEVER
If the French and British are
TO be held and defeated at all, it
must be now, the German general
staff has decided, and every pos
sible effort will be made to bring
about some OF the greatest bat
ties OF the war Immediately.
One result Of the hurried move
ments of German troops and sup
ply trains, according to a des-
patch to the London Daily News
from its correspondent in Am
sterdam, was collision on Mon
day between two ammunition
trains, the resulting explosion
killing several hundred soldiers.
ENTENTE is PREPARED
Full knowledge Of the German
plans is said to be in the posses
sion OF the British and French
stats and nothing is being left
undone that will contribute to the
safety of the entente's western
line and defeat the Teutonic pur-
pose. So far there has been no
resumption OF the German often
sive before Cambria nor of the
British drives in Belgium, but the
dispatches from the front indi-
cate that more than the usual
activity is apparent along the
Belgian front and as far south
into France as Arras. -
ITALIANS REPULSE DRIVE
Another German offensive has
been launched against the lines
of the Italians on the Julian front
and along the Lower Pave, des-
perate efforts being made to re-
take Agenzia on the Julian line
and Caposile on the Piave front.
The latter town had been occu-
pied by the Austrians in the early
offensive, but was retaken by the.
Italians when they flooded the
district northeast of Venice and
cut the Austrian advance forces
off. "
Both attempts were repulsed
with heavy losses to the attack
ers and tho Italian lines are hold
ing steadily at all point. There
pulse of the attacks has been fol-
lowed by an intense artillery
bombardment by the Teuton
guns, evidently in preparation for
another attempt to break through
to Venice. An artillery action of

Republican A. p. Leased wtre1

AMSTERDAM, April 7, (via Lon
don, April S.)-Emperor William has
ordered German imperial chancellor
Won Bethmann- HollWeg to submit to
him certain proposals for the reform of
the Prussian electoral law to be dis
cussed and put into effect after the
conclusion of peace. An Official tele-
gram from Berlin announcing this or
der adds that it fOreshadoWs also the
reform of the upper chamber of the
Prussian diet.
The text of the emperors order to the
imperial chancellor who is also presi-
dent of the ministry of state. TO nws:
Never before have the German peo-
pie proved to be 50 firm as in this war.
The knowledge that the Fatheflard is
fighting in bitter self defense has ex-
erted a wonderful reconciling power
and. despite all sacrifices on the bat
tlefield and severe privations at home,
their determination has remained i'm
perturable to stake their last for the
victory Of their issue.
THE national and social spirit have
understood each other and became
united and those has given us steadfast
strength. Both of them realized what
was built up in long years of peace and
amidst many internal struggles This
was certainly worth fighting for
Brightly before my eyes stand the
achievements of the entire nation in
battle and distress. The events of this
struggle for the existence of the empire
introduce, with high solemnity, a new
time.
1T falls to YOU as the responsible
chancellor of the German empire and
first minister of my government in
Prussia to insist on obtaining the full
fillment of the demands of this hour by
right means and at the right time and
in this spirit shape our political life in
order to make room for the free and
joyful cooperation of all members of
our people.
The principles which you have de-
veloned in this respect have, as you
know my approval l feel conscious of
remaining thereby on the road which
my grandfather. the founder of the en-
pire as king of Prussia, with military
organization and as German emperor
with social reform typically fulfilled
as his mOnarchial obligations, thereby
creating conditions by which the Ger
man people, in united and wrathful per-
seVerence, will overcome this sanguin-
arv time. The maintenance of the
fighting force as a real peoples army
and the promotion of the social uplift
of the people in all its classes, was,
from the beginning of my reign, M .
aim.
In this endeavor while holding a
Just balance between the people and the .
monarchy to serve the welfare of the
whole, l am resolved to begin building
up our internal political, economic and .
social life as soon as the war situation
permits.
while millions Of our fellow coun- F
trymen are in the field, the conflict
Of opinions behind the front, which is
unavoidable in such a far-reachinS
change of constitution, must be post
pOned in the highest interests of the
fatherland until the time of the home
coming of our warriors and when they
