And, at last, our country, the land of

Four years and more ago the Ger
man autocracy, fred by the dream of
world dominion, set out to enslave the
world. The foundation for this pur-
pose had been well laid, for first it had
hypnOtized the mind and defiled the
soul of the German nation. A whole
people had come to worship false
god; rather, demon, the demon of
force. Honor, justice, law, all that
man had learned and earned in dark
and bloody past centuries, these were
all forgotten, and beast, forgetting
God, forgetting man, set out to con-
quer, to enslave. To primitive saw
agery were added all that modern
learning, technical training and scien-
tific preparation could furnish to make
force resistless and conquest sure.
Four years of unexampled agony
have come upon the world-flame, pes
thence, famine, murder, horrible and
relentless, women ravished, children
slain, whole nations laid waste, whole
peoples destroyed. Thus the German
made war. Against this modern saw
agery, against this scientific frightful-
ness, the free peoples of the world
rose in horror and in alarm, bur with
undying faith and courage. Four years
of agony, but four years Of glory-the

VIEWS OF BERLIN
And vienna ARE
VERY DIVERGENT

Amsterdam, May 17-There is a
remarkable disparity between the adj
vices from Berlin and those from
Vienna regarding, the scope of the
projected extension of the Austrian
German alliance. Whereas the Ber-
lin version of the pact, according to
the Cologne Gazette, denies that the
alliance is to be embodied in the con-
situations of the allied empires, direct
advices from Vienna on the same day
affirm the contrary positively, declar-
ing such, embodiment to be a part
of the program.
The importance Of this lies in the
fact that should the proposals con-
template constitutional changes, they
would have to be submitted to the
parliaments of both empires, whose
assent would be necessary.
In Vienna there is no attempt to
conceal the conviction that many
stumbling blocks lie in the path of the
proposals, inasmuch as both in Aus
tria- Hungary and in Germany there
are political parties and business in
terests with sufficient power to exert
strong opposition to a realization OF
| the idea of unified central Europe

AERIAL ACTIVITY
OVER U. S. LINES
No Infantry Fighting
Reported Today on
Western Front.

While the renewal of the
German offensive in the west
awaits completion of the enc
my's preparations and presum-
ably weather conditions that
fit in with the German plans,
events are in progress else
where with potentially import
ant bearing on the war as a
whole, namely, the decision of
the Allies in the Far East and
the Irish situation.
Fair weather during the last few
days and great increase in aerial
activity have not yet resulted in re-
newal of heavy infantry lighting. The
artillery contests go on, most violent
on important sectors, but neither the
German infantry nor artillery displays
the activity that usually marks the
coming of a blow against the Allied
lines.
The enemy, it is believed in Lon
oon, is preparing for a mighty attack
greater in force if possible than the
smash on March 81 along the SO mile
front southwark from Arras. The
Germans, however, are having diff
Guilty in filing up their greatly de-
pleted ranks, some divisions having
lost more than 50 per cent.-one 70 Der
cent.-of their electives in the recent
fighting. In addition. the Allied ar
tillery is causing havoc with German
preparations near the front lines while
their railroad stations and billets be-
hind the lines are under an almost
continuous rain of bombs dropped by
Allied airmen.
Enemy artillery and man power
concentrations probably become
stronger as Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg delays a new advance, but
the Allied defenses gain strength in
the same ratio and a new source of
fighting power, the American army,
grows in power. Gen. Pershing's men
are now on both the important battle
fronts, Flanders and Picardy, but in
what numbers it is not disclosed.
Their coming, however, is having a
great moral effect on the British and
French and the longer the Germans
delay, the greater will the American
aid become.
Aerial activity is the most promi->
nent feature of the news from the
fighting zones. French and British
airmen have dropped many more tons
of explosives on enemy military tar
gets while the Germans are becoming
more active in attempts to get behind
the Allied lines. In aerial fighting the
British have brought down IS German
machines, while British guns ac-
counted for 10 more. Berlin claims
the destruction of 10 Allied aeroplanes.
Another attempt to raid Paris Friday
night failed.
| On the American sectors west OF
Montdidier, northeast of Toul and in
Lorraine, the aerial fighting also has
increased. The American positions in
Picardy and Lorraine are bombarded
heavily by the Germans. The artil-
lery fire has fallen off in the Toul sec
tor, but American patrols are active
there.

BALFOUR SPEECH
PACIFISTS
IN THEIR PLACES

London, May 1.-THE London
morning newspapers, with one excep-
ton, wholly endorse the position TAX
en- by Foreign Secretary Bahour on
the question of peace proposals, set
forth in his house of commons speech
Yesterday. The newspapers contend
that in that speech he disposed final
ly of the pacificist suggestion that an
opportunity for peace was missed in
the way that the letters of the EN-
peror Charles last year were dealt
with. The Daily News, which sup
plies the exception, in taking the op-
posite view, says that the facts 50
far as they are known do not sup
port Mr.. Balfour's claim that the
attitude of the Allies was justified.
"It is impossible to believe for ex-
ample" it says, that if the negotia-
lions had been conducted by Presi-
dent Wilson instead of by the three
statesmen who conducted them, he
would easily have accepted the con-
clusion that they offered no hope of a
stable peace.

new finance program calls for new
German taxes to yield over $80OjO0O,-

by the German Finance Minister as
1.-The price of victory" New taxes on
beer, wine and spirits, tea, coffee and
cocoa are to yield $3.50, 900, 900, while
postal and telegraph increases are es-
timated to return $85,0o0,0o0. There
are also to be increases in stamp du-
ties. These taxes, which are said by
the newspapers to be "only begin
ming" are the greatest in amount
ever asked from German taxpayers.

taxes as mainly aimed against only
