Security Leagues Loyalty
Queries Bring Small
Response.

The National Security League an
nounced yesterday that it had received
little announcement in its campaign to
get expressions OF loyalty 10 the
United States from the editors OF
German language newspapers. The Ia
vorable replies that came to the league
from the German editors Of the country
were even fewer than those which fol-
lowed a like campaign among the dis
tinctiveIy German organizations Of the
country.
While the large majority Of the
German language editors did not make
any reply at all to the request of the
league. there did come a number OF
very encouraging replies to tae request
that the editors subscribe to the pro.
fession OF faith that was prepared by
Secretary Herbert Barry.
In q formal statement made yesterday
the National Security League says that
the responses made to its loyalty cam
paign have been of such character as
TO Justify the effort that was made and
to show the need for an accounting
Many letters from various sections OF
the country commend the leagues fight
and urge that II be continued. The
writer's urge that the suppression Of dis
loyal utterances in the German Ameri.
can press be insisted upon.
League Il Assailed.
One of the most abusive articles di-
rected toward the league and Its pa
triotic fight appears this week in Issue,
aud Ersnts, published in New York and
owned by Francis J. L. Dori The hT-
t!cle Is by Frederick +. Schrader, for

Post and editor of the Dramatic Mirror
"It In difficult to write with becoming

The new Russian Government is
understood to feel that nothing is now
more important to the cause of demo,-
racy and lasting peace than to clear UP
the real issues of the war and draw a
sharp line between .he peace for which

ImpreRnnbIe "PiII Boxes"

These concrete pill boxes" as the
British have dubbed them. upon which
tho Germans now chiefly depend. some
times enable the defenders to hold out
a long time and in some cases. like the
stronghold taken by the French yester
day east OF the Stecnb.ke, they are
practically impregnablc to infantry as
sau!ts and must be reduced by artillery,
but in many other instances they are
fatal to their garrisons which are iso-
lated and encirClod by the attackers
In one case n post OF this kind held
out until the British brought up "A ma =
chine gun and played It through the
loop hole this was too much for the
twenty Germans within and they sur
rendered Another isolated fortress of
this kind was enveloped with smoke
until the Germans hoisted a waite flag.
Many of the shell hole nests have rear
exits underground which lead back to
what Is called the first fire line. \ few
yards behind the shell hole nests and
situated halfway between them are ma =
chine gun emplaccments which COM
mand the opening between the nests.
Thus. II the attacking troops force
their way through the nests they are
met by "A deluge OF machine gun bullets.
Still further to the rear Is the first flrc
line, which may be some sort of a
trench or merely chain Of shell holes
connected to form more or less solid
front. Even reserve troops arc csten
sheltered In the shell holes.
The villages which present an easy
mark to the British artillery are being
avoided by the Germans. An ilustra.io
of this was TO be seen at Langemarck.
