WASHINGTON, April S.-The State
Department received information to-
day that fifty armed sailors from a
British cruiser were landed at Vladi-
vostok on the afternoon of April to
protect the British consulate at that
port. Two companies of Japanese
sailors had been landed on the morn
ing of the 5th. on account Of the mur-
der of a Japanese, and on the follow
ing day $50 more Japanese sailors
were landed.
The dispatch said there was neither
armed resistance to the landing Of the
foreign forces nor real opposition to
it on the part of the Russians.
Whether or not the landing at Nladi-
vostok foreruns japanese intervention
in Eastern Siberia. it was believed in
the best informed quarters here to-
day that the measures taken by Japan
and Great Britain at Vladivostok had
no intimate relation to the contem-
plated larger movement, and that they
were purely for The protection Of for
eign lives and properties.
In Japanese circles it was stated that
there had been no new developments

Only Way to Meet Ger
many's Challenge, Says
British Commissioner
Allies Sure to Win
All Aid and Power Needed
~Victory Will Be Worth
the Sacrifice

WASHINGTON, April S-Pres dent
Wilson's pronouncement at Baltimore
Saturday that Germany's challenge can
be met only with force was emphasized
here to-day by the Earl of Reading,
British Ambassador and High Commits
sioner, in an address before the ma
tional conference of American lectur-
ers.
"Only by force can Germany be met,
and with that force she will be met"
declared Lord Reading. At another
point he said:
"America stepped into this war, and
with it a whole new plane of thought
was raised. America has fought, and
VIII fight only for ideals of world de-
mocracy"
The Ambassador was frequently ap-
plauded by the audience, composed
largely of speakers gathered here for
a conference preliminary to launching
a new patriotic speaking campaign.
Britain and America Alike
In explaining the entrance of Great
Britain into the war Lord Reading
said his nation cast her lot with the
Allies, not because she was bound by
treaties, but because, like the United
States, she could not stand by and see
the smaller nations suffer from Ger
many's aggrcssions. He urged the fos-
tering of spirit Of self sacrifice.
Is the sacrifice worth it," he asked
Yes. worth it again and again. It's
worth it if We realize that we are fight
ing for liberty and justice This war
IS challenge of brutality to Justice
If the Allies win-and they assuredly
wlll-light and justice will triumph
Lend all your aid and all your power
to it.
and by your assistance you will
have done your part in driving down
underground the power of wrong, and
IN upholdlng and senthroning on high
to shine forever in the world. the
power Of right"
While admitting the seriousness of
the submarine menace the ambassador
pointed out that Great Britain has
transported millions of fighting men
across The seas with the loss of only
io'oou OF them, including the $50
wounded men who have gone down
with torpedoed hospital ships. The
cargo ships have suffered heavily. he
SAID. but England had been able to
move more than 1300OO,00O tons of
commodities overseas despite the u
boats.
Rivalry Ended by War
Both Great Britain and America are
working feverishly on their shipping
programmes, said the ambassador. not
with any idea of taking preliminary
steps toward a post-bellum commercial
rivalry, but TO provide great fleets to
take men, munitions and supplies to
France.
"All ideas of commercial rivalry and
jealousies disappeared in the war" he
added. "We have but one idea-to win
the war"
Lord Reading spoke of the third Lib
erty Loan and expressed England's
gratitude to this country for the read
ness with which the Treasury has aided
by the frequent loans the purchase of
British war materials in the United
States.
Declaring that Americas economic
assistance is Of the greatest value, the
ambassador urged the lecturers to dis
semnate the doctrine that "every
stroke of the laboring man is equiva-
lent to shot at the enemv"

ish and American Capital
in Germany

COPENHAGEN, April S.-The Berlin
"Taegliche Rundeschau" GAYS that
Matthias rzberger, the Centrist leader,
is planning great propaganda in favor
OF international and economic peace.
His scheme includes agreement. for the
placing Of British and American capital
IN German industries, so that It least
half the money invested in German in
dustries would be Anglo-American,
while German money would. to a great
extent, be invested in England.
He advocates also that the three
countries should have Identical labor
legislation.
Matthias Erzberger, leader cf the
Catholic political party, was the prin-
clpal figure in bringing about the reso-
luton of the Reichstag majority for a
peace without anneXations or i~demni-
ties" passed last summer
ErZberger after the publication of
the resolution, continued energetic eff
forts to bring about peace He de-
clared in an interview if it were only
possible to bring the opposing leaders
around one table he would guarantee to

Militarism Must Be Crushed
"The latest act of military aggres-

ernment," he said, places under tenn
porary suspension the moral, political
and diplomatic effort of the working
class movement. The offensive on the
Western front, following the shameful

clearly proves Prussan militarism.

son to break with the tradition of his
country, and it is this conviction that
has kept him so loyal to the cause Of
Russia and the Russian revolution
when other statesmen have faltered
and lost faith. This moral leadership
IN the war is not the least of the debts
which We owe to the intervention of
the United States.
America Stands for Freedom
"There is no limit to the sacrifice
which cur great ally is prepared to
make to redeem the world. That is the
assurance the President gives US as his
anniversary message. 1t comes charged
with new note which the enemy will
do we'll to mark. How unreservedly
this decision has been taken is evi-
denced by the chivalrous consent to
allow American soldiers to be brigaded
with British and French units.
r, IF the war had been confined to
European belligerents we could hard
ly have escaped an artificial settle
politics. With America as the domi-
mating factor in the final stages this
disaster is averted. 1t guarantees a
world peace founded on the principles
that secured the practical elimination
OF milltarism from the American con-
tinent."
Force to Decide Issue
"The Times" says: "The anniversary
OF Americas entry into the war has
kept both sides of the Atlantic in the
temper for which SO great an occasion
called. The speeches of President
W llson at Baltimore and of the For
elgn Secretary and the American AM
bassador at London breathed the same
spirit OF absolute conviction and un-
cconquerable resolve. They meet the
last peace offensive Of the enemy bv
an uncompromising refusal to credit
his professions so long as his acts
stand in fragrant contradiction with
his words. President Wilson is, he
acknowledges, utterly disillusioned
tie recognizes that Germany has once
more shown her faith that force alone
must decide the high moral issues at
stake.
"'We have found and taken our
place. said Ambassador Page, in the
array of free nations That is what
constitutes the moral greatness of
Americas s action in siding with the
Aiiles. President Wilson has the

Vladiuostok Landing

1Rv The Assnciated Pres

MOSCOW, April Z. - The Japanese
representative at Vologda, where Allied
and neutral diplomatic missions are
stationed, has sent communication
tc NJ Tchitcherin. the Russian Foreign
Minister, minimizing the significance of
the landing at Vladivostok, according
TO the "Isvesta." The communication
said that the incident was local and
that Admiral Kato acted on his own
initiative and without specific orders
from his government. NJ. Tchitcherin,
however. is reported to be skeptical.
Reports received here from Nladivos-
tok indicate that the Japanese have not
ilterfered with the life of the city and
that they only patrol the streets. Adj
miral Kato visited the Mayor and the
President of the Zemstvo, who pro-
tested against the landing. The Mu-
nicipal Council also passed a resolution

speech at Baltimore, says "The Morn
ing Post
wv neither or not the Allies are strong
enough to break in pieces the German
military power remains to be seen,' it
adds. "But that, given time, America
is able 20 defeat the enemy is as little
doubtful as that she is resolved to do
It, however long the work may take. 1t
IS gigantic enterprise for the defeat
OF the German armies in the field, but
that Is not all that America has prom
ised; she purposes to go further
president Wilson from the first has
insisted that before all it is a moral
issue. There are millions of men
among the Americans and the forces of
the Allies who are fighting in the SIM
pie faith that they are doing duty in a
good cause.
at has fallen to President Wilson to
put INTO stern practice the conviction
which the greatest among American
poets affirmed in every line Of his
rough-hewn verse that the spiri. Of
liberty is ,nvincible."
Feels Meaning of U. S. Aid
"The Daily Mail" says an these
hours OF trial Great Britain feels the
real meaning of American sympathy
and aid. She is heavily engaged on
many fronts and in many different
ways, and on each front and in each
sphere she is lavishly giving her blood.
When President Wilson solemnly
declares that in utter self-sacrtice and
self f-forgetfulness' America will give
all that we love and all that we have
to redeem the world and make it fit for
free men like ourselves to live in we
know that this pledge will be kept"
The Daily News" says: ain his
speech commemorating the anniversary
of Americas entry into the war Presi-
dent Wilson, with that dispassionate
tinality which always marks his utter
ances, stated the issue with unanswer-
able truth. 1t is whether the world is
to be governed by the German General
Staff. Liberalism has tried to find an
accommodation with despotism, but
now it knows that no such accommoda-
ton is possible and that if the world
is to be made fit for free men to live in
military despotism and the whole in
stitution of war must 60, finally and

New War Declarations

= BOSTON, April s.-Dr. James L.
Barton, foreign secretary of the Ameri-
can Board Of Commissioners for For
selgn Missions, made public to-day a
letter to Senator Lodge in which re
expressed the hope Congress would not
pass the Senate resolution declaring a
state of war exists between Bulgaria
and Turkey and the United States.
Pointing cut thar other countries az
war with Germany had not declared
war on all OF its allies, DR.. Barton said
there was no international necessity
why the United States should take ac-
ton.
Dr.. Barton said !: this would. stop
Tnspeakable atrocities BY Turkey upon
her non-Moslem subjects, then let wal
