New York Journal Of Commerce.
1t was at the beginning of February
that the submarine onslaught upon
trade with Germany's enemies in En-
rope was begun without regard to the
rights of neutrals. It expected to have
a fatal effect upon that trade between
the United States and Great Britain
and France in three or four months.
The figures of the volume of our for
eign trade in March, the second OF
those months, have just appeared and,
if we had nothing else to judge by,
it would appear that the terrible men,
ace had had little effect. The value
of imports for that month exceeded
all previous records, reaching S27O,-
4S4, 439, nearly $40,000.000 in excess
of the previous high record in jan
uary. There had been considerable

Germany Semi officially Recognizes
War With y, S..
Copenhagen, May 5.-Word has
been received here from Americans
in Berlin that the German military
authorities have issued orders that
Americans now are to be regarded as
hostile foreigners and are required
to report daily to the police.
This action by the German gov
eminent is regarded here as vir-
tually the first recognition by the
government of the existence of a
static of war with the United States.
The German authorities hitherto had
adhered to the statement that there
was a difference between declar;l-
ton of the existence of state OF war
and that there was no obligation to
recognize the latter contingency I'M
til they chose to do so.
There has been no acknowledge
ment of President Wilson's declara-
ton of the existence of state OF
war gazetted in the North German
Gazette, as was the case in the
Cuban breach.
Washington, May 5.-Dispatches
received from London May l said
the German authorities had ordered
the immediate cancellation of the
Berlin order placing American resi-
dents there in the status Of enemy
subjects. The order, the news ag-
ency dispatches said, was regarded
as blunder, the German foreign
office arguing that Germany did not
consider herself at war with the
United States. 1t was added, how
ever, that Americans would be sub
ject to police supervision.

This was the sensational testimony

falling of in February, the first
month of the submarine menace,
which deferred the sailing of a num-
Der of vessels of the leading lines for
some days.
The value of exports for March had
been exceeded only in January, when
they reached an unexampled high
level. They fell off in February con-
sidcrably more than imports, as the
delay of sailings was greater in this
end of. the line than at the other, and
it was exports to England and France
rather than from them that were
watched for to be sunk. But while
exports from the United States,
which exceeded S613,550,000 in Jam
uary, fell to s467,6S0,O00 in Febru-
airy, they recovered to more than
S551 900 900 in March, a figure never
reached in any one month before this
wear. These figures are for the en-
tire volume of trade with all coun-
tries and not alone those at war. Fig
ures are not at hand for the COMPARE
son with other countries, but the bulk
of our trade is still with those Euro
pean nations, and the separate ac-
counts of submarine attacks show
that thus far their results have not
been very "frightful" so far as COM
merce is concerned.

FRENCH TAKE CRAONNE
Important Positions Seized by Cen
eral Nivelle in His Whirlwind Adj
vance.

London, May 5.-Craonne has
fallen to the French.
In tile fiercest drive of the year,
Gen. Nivelle's poilus took the village,
long 4 painful pricking thorn IN
their side, by storm yesterday. Their
whirlwind advance carried them be-
yond it to the east and north, where
they seized important positions.
simultaneously the French ripped
a Observation-Disclosures cash into the
Teuton first line northwest of
Rheims. Six hundred prisoners,
among them eight officers, were
taken here.
All these gains were held firmly
against fury-driven German counter
thrusts.
1t was the first great victory won
by the horizon-blue troops since
Gen. Petain has been made COM
mander-in-chief of all French forces
in the west.
1t was the greatest strategical
blow they have struck north of the
Aisne. For Craonne was the last
powerful barrier in their way to
the forts of Laon, southern pivot Of
the Hindenburg line. Some six
miles more and that city will become
untenable.

NILIUKOFf IS DEFIANT
Foreign Minister Says Mob With
1000 Rifles Pointed at Him.

Petrograd, May 5.-Chaos is again
sweeping Russia.
The Petrograd garrison, chief
leaders of the March revolution that
overthrow the Romanoff dynasty, has
turned against the strong man" Of
the regime they set up-Paul M.
Miliukoff, foreign minister to the
provisional government.
On Thursday, two months after
the first shot was fired in the great
revolution that paved the way for
freedom in Russia, workers and
soldiers broke forth in a tumultuous
attempt at counter-revolution.
Peace is the issue in the new up
rising. Miliukoff had told the al
lies that Russia was no Stacker, but
would fight to the finish. The mas
ses, clamoring for bread and peace,
gathered to protest against this.
Troops were called out to check the
masses. Instead they joined in the
cries, ''Down with Miliukotf!"
A mastery speech by the man for
whose death they yelled, made from
the balcony of the Duma, in the
face of more than 1000 rifles
pointed at him, saved the day. Jeers
turned to cheers. The mob that had
come to kill him went home applaud
ing him.
RUSSIA" Miliukoff told the throng,
"will never be traitor to her allies.
Russia will never make separate
peace-not. so long as the present
government is in power"
