Evidence Of this appears today in tho
announcement by London of q Ger

General Plumer continued attacking
the Germans from time to time east
of Messines and gained additional
ground there. Further south the Brit
ish also have exerted pressure upon
General Won Arnim's line.
Having lost the last of the COM
manding artillery and observation po-
sitions In this region when the Mes
stnes ridge fell into British hands. the
Germans are finding the pressure at
some points beyond their ability to
meet. One of the first results has
been the abandonment of important
sections Of their first line between the
river Lys and st. Ives.
General Eaig announced that the
British are following the Germans
closely and moving forward east of
Ploegsteert wood and near Gaspard
village.
On the French front conditions re-
main comparatively quiet. Last night
the Germans, after bombardment, at
tackled French posts In the Aisne re-
gion and northwest Of Verdun. The
French easily repulsed these assaults.

Note is Interference and
Japan was not Consulted

Toxic. Juno - delayed in trans

it exists between the United States
and Japan. has been brought sharply
to the surface by the note Of the
American government to China ex-
pressing regret over the dissension in
that country and the desire that tram
guilty and political coordination be
established.
The impression prevails in Toxic
that Great Britain and France, since
the outbreak Of tho war, have tacital-
" extended q measure Of recognition
Of special privileges to Japan. and
the present issue appears to involve
the question whether the United
States will abandon the prerogative
OF Independent action in China. and
henceforth consult japan. The follow
ing state Of Japan's position is fur
nished to the Associated Press in well
informed quarters:
when Japan and the allies were
about to urge Yuan Shi Kai. the late
president Of China, to postpone re-

States replied that it favored q re-

virtually was interference and was
sent without consulting Japan, caus-
ed surprise. 1t was not until after
wards that we were notified and in
Vited to participate" .

1.-THE fact that sheer cowardness

peace was proved by the fact that the
leading pacifists dared not condemn a

powerful and brutal foe they most
feared-Germany. They clamored
for neutrality between Germany and
Belgium. lrhey denounced war IN
