Berlin, Monday, via London. Tues

gives prominence to a lengthy state
ment emanating from an inspired
diplomatic source at Vienna, in the
course of which the attitude of Aus
tria- Hungary and Germany toward
President Wilson's reply to the
Pope is set forth as follows:
president Wilson and the en-
tente are alone responsible for the
terrible disappointment occasioned
by the Illustration of the Pope's ef-
forts on behalf of peace. Complete
disarmament of the German peo-
pies is in fact the aim of Mr.. Will
son. 1t is the condition he names
to the Pope as the basis for par
ticipation by the United States In

THE suggestion that the undimin-
ished military strength of Germany
be disrupted in this way is not new.
That strength is based essentially on
unity among the people, army and
government"

establish an error in Mr.. Wilson's
Interpretation of German conditions,

4 Disastrous Defeat.
As for the situation on Russia :
northern front, the scope of the Riga
disaster can only be conjectured
from the official Petrograd admis-
sion that the Germans broke
through on a front of nine miles
and from the German war office
announcement that some thous.
sands" of prisoners and more than
$50 guns have been taken so far
and that the Russians are in head
long retreat northeastward.
Moreover. the Berlin statement
shows that Prince Leopold's troops
already are fifteen miles north OF
Dwina, having advanced beyond the
Great Jaegal River. This, coupled
with official Russian admission of a
retirement near Kranzen C22 miles
southeast of RiGa) and around Milder,
half way between Riga and Dwinsk,
bespeaks grave menace TO the Rus
sian army at Dwinsk, the great rail-
way city, 80 miles south of Riga, at
the gates Of which the Germans have
stood for two years. Petrograd re-
ports artillery fighting on the Dwinsk
front. Indications are that the main
force Of the German Riga army is
swinging, OF about to swing, south
eastward in huge flanking movement
aimed at Dwinsk.
For the Russians there is but one
raw Of cancellation in the whole pres
eut state of affairs: The COssaCks

holding their own.

Will Go On.

Despite the fact that thousands o.
civilians and soldiers had been AT
tracted to the city by the District
seiectiye service parade yesterday aft
eTnoon, the police of the Fourth
precinct, which includes the Four-and-
a-half street district, the evil condi-
tions of which were exposed nv The
herald during the past ten days, were
thoroughly able to keep the sectior
WITHIN the law" Up to a late hour
last night, the precinct blotter showed
only the customary run of arrests
Ihe special policemen that have
been detailed to the Four-and-a-ha1f
street section have been reduced in
number gradually until last night
only four extra men were called from
other precincts to help cover tho
troublesome area. They experienced
little difficulty in preventing ngbtipe
or friction between soldiers and
civilian population.

Ihe taking of these twenty CoupIeS

lice activity in clearing out vicious
conditions. Still further actiyiry on
the part Of all the civil and military
authorities is necessary before the
evils resulting from open street solicit

In many sections Of the city, immoral
practices exist openly and should be
stopped by the police.
Want Publicity Continued.
Letters asking The Herald to con-
tInue giving publicity to existant vice
conditions continued to reach the Of
nee. in practically every mail yester-
day. Most of these letters gave the
locations of new and as yet untouched
Gems OF vice in the city. Many let
ters praised the stand taken by this
newspaper during the past ten days,
during which, in spite of opposition by
police authorities, The Herald gave
wide-open publicity to the evil con-
diuons that are known to exist in the
southwest and in some other sections
of the city.
Publicity will be continued in The
Herald until it is certain that the po-
lice are taking a wide-awake view of
exlstlng immortality and are acting to
the full extent Of their power to stamp
