Washington, April 24.-"War re- Quires universal serYice," accord ing to General Bridges of the Brit ish army, member of the British war commission now here, in a statement today that the United States should profit by the ex- perience of England.
 Had England known at the out break of the war, what it now knows and admits to be true" he said, thousands of lives would have been saved and untold mil lions Of treasures would not have been paid as toll to costly unpre- paredness and the futile effort to raise an army on the volunteer method.

REPORT IS CONFIRMED
 BY CLERICAL ORGAN
 PUBLISHED IN |TAL|
"OnIy Way to Bring Peace" Say Imme- diate Followers
 of Kaiser

Rome, April 24.-As the "0nly way to bring peace and save Ger many" the immediate followers of Emperor William are advising him to abdicate, according to what are said to be confirmed reports, pub lished here today by the Corriece d'Italia. the offical clerical organ.
 Rumors to this effect have re- gently been published in Spanish newspapers. The Corriece states that it has absolutely trustworthy confirmation of the correctness of the report.
 Would Suit Austria?
 Pressure on the kaiser to give up his throne is said to have been especially strong in the last week or so. With Russia's representa- tive government becoming more and more firmly entrenched and de- termined to continue the war, and with the United States now enter ed on the side of the allies, those who are closest to the emperor are to realize fully that Ger many has everything to lose and nothing to gain by continuing the struggle.
 It Is also said that Austria would look favorably upon the kaiser's and that this attitude of chief ally is having much to do with the reported efforts to have Emperor William relinquish his crown to save his people.

War Policies

No statement was issued from the White House as to what mat ters were discussed at the confer ence. |.
 Among other things expected to be conferred on, is the allied poli- cies of blockade, mail censorship, blacklist and rationing of Holland and Scandinavia. Though this country, as a neutral, protested these war measures, they must now, with entrance of the United States into the struggle, be viewed from a different angle. Still, it is said to be doubtful how far the Unit cd States will go in aiding to up- hold such policies.
 The dilemma presented is that the United States is between its own views on international war, the war policies of the allies and the exigeucies of war itself.
