KAISER INSISTS
 ON DEMANDS FOR
 USE OF HOLLAND
German Minister Quits Hague, ln- dicating That Crisis Is Near
 At Hand.

THE HAGUE, April 25.-That re- lations between Holland and Ger many have reached the breaking point in consequence of Germany's demand that Holland permit the movement of German war supplies through Dutch territory, in violation of the neutrality laws, is indicated by the departure of the German minister for Berlin and the reported departure of the Dutch minister from the German cIpital.
 A note has been received from the Imperial German government, de- manding a quick reply to the ulti- matum forwarded early this week, and pending the reply, German cav airy are making their appearance along the Dutch frontier, hitherto guarded only by the landstrum.

CRISIS HAS ARRIVED IN HOLLAND GERMAN RELATIONS
TANKS TAKING PART
 IN BIG OPERATIONS

of Amiens and west of Armentieres is still in progress, the Germans hav- ing renewed their assaults at an early hour this morning. The fighting IS most severe on Viller Brettoneaux ridge, to the east of Amiens, where the kaiser's forces are fighting des- perately to gain the high ground positions. The British have driven the Germans from Daquenne wood, to the west of Viller Bretteneaux, and the opposing forces are now struggling for the possession of the town itself.
 The German tanks, which were driven from the field yesterday by the British tanks, returned to action today, supporting a strong infantry attack.
 Two British tanks are crawling ut and down the German columns to- day, moving the infantry down 1T great windrows. The execution Is described as marvellous.

AMERICAN BOATS HELPED IN RAID
 ON zEEBRUGGE
Two American Built Launches Res eued Crews From Vessels
 At Zeebrugge.

DOVER, April 25.-One of the most thrilling incidents in connec- tion with the British naval raid on Zeebrugge, was the rescue, by two American launches, of the two hundred members of the crews who took the two block ships to their final resting place at the entrance to Bruges canal. The feat was ac- complished under heavy fire and the actual tranfer was made in less than five minutes.
 Sailors and marines who partici- pated in the raid believe that every gun on the mole was demolished and the shed destroyed throughout it's entire length, including large stores of munitions. It is also believed that the entrance to the harbor has been successfully blocked.

AMERICAN LINER SINKS AT DOCKS
 PLOT SUSPECTED

ATLANTIC PORT, April 25.-The American line steamer St. Paul, the crack Atlantic liner, which just ar rived from dry dock today, capsized at her pier this afternoon and grad ually settled to the bottom. For a time the vessel lay with her decks awash and her masts leaning heavily on the pier shed. Before the cause of the trouble could be ascertained, however, the ship sank and it is now believed that the sea cocks were left open by design.
 There were about five hundred laborers on board the boat when the accident occurred, and many of them jumped overheard in their haste tc escape. At least six of them were drowned and scores were imprisoned in the hold. Holes are now being cut in the upper side of the vesse to lct the prischers out
 Immediately following the sink ing, small fire started in the un submerged part of the ship, but this has been eXtinguished.

ATTACKS REFUSED.

LONDON, April 25.-A report re- ceived from Field Marshal Halg this morning states that three at7 tacks launched by the Germans against the British positions east. of Amiens have been repulsed. The British countered today in the Vllier Bretteneaux sector, recovering con- siderable ground lost to the enemy in previous encounters.
 The French forces northeast oi Bailleul, on the Flanders front; are making a splendid showing against the attacking Germans, two vigorous thrusts having been repulsed slnce yesterday morning.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 25.


 The offensive operations which were started by the Germans on the Western front early yesterday morn- ing, are still in progress, but 1t IS apparent from advices received thls afternoon that the enemy forces are attacking with much less vigor than during the first rush on Amiens and later the drive through Flanders. And the gains reported are lnslg- nificant in comparison with the ad- vance made by both the British, east of Amiens, and the French, on the Flanders line.
 In the opinion of military observ- CTS. evidence of great Teutonic re- verses in the recent Flanders fight ing is seen in the transfer of Aus trian troops from the Italian front to the Western front. Official dis patches received today from Rome state that Austrian troops, formerly arrayed against the Italians, are ar irving in large numbers at Liege and Antwerp, preparatory to entering the trenches against the French and British.

OUR WAR INTENTIONS.

1--WE intend what our forefathers,
raa founders OF this Republic, in
tended. We in America believe our
participation in this war to be the
fruitage of what they planted. Our
case differs from theirs only in this,
that it is our inestimable privilege to
concert with men out OF every nation
what shall make not only the liberties
of America secure, but the liberties
of every other people as well. ..
There can be but one issue. The
settlement must be final. There can
be no compromise. No halfway de-
cision would be tolerable. No half
way decision is conceivable.

CAN'T BE TRUSTED,

"American wearing apparel is
gaining steadily in Argentina as the
result of the failing European sup
plies" declares the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce. "This
is especially true of hosiery, which
before the war came almost entirely
from Germany" How freely they
now confess the real reason for our
great expansion in sales to Latin
America, and how utterly they de-
MED it a few weeks before the 1916
election. Those were the days when
the Democratic National Committee
said our war export trade was due
to Democratic policies, and that the
sale of war goods accounted for but
5 per cent of the total. A party
that lied like that in 1916 is pretty
apt to lie again in the Congressional
campaign of 1918.

THE CENSUS GRAB.

While the Census bill was under
discussion in the House, Representa-

the adoption of an amendment that

some, at least, of the enormous
amount of patronage they will exer-
else when that measure is put into
effect. AS it now reads all census
supervisors are to be appointed by
the Secretary of Commerce upon rec

Census. OF course that means that
practically all will be Democrats. Mr..
Cooper would have given the Con-

own districts. Had his views pre-
vailed Republican districts would
have stood a chance of having their

should write to McCumber for copy

OBJECTS TO "DARkY."
The Editor of THE APPEAL Writes
a Letter to the Chicago Tribune,
Which is Self Explanatory.
Saint Paul MIMI,
August 20, 1918.

August 20, 1918.
Managing Editor, . 49,: -.
The Chicago Tribune, ~
Chicago, Illinois. "
Dear Sir: ~-~
The enclosed was probably printed
without your knowledge or consent.
It is, however, an insult to more
than 100000 colored soldiers now
in the United States Army, of whom
100000 are already in France fight
ing for freedom and democracy.
It is also an insult to the 2,OO0,-
600 Americans in the United States
who are classed as "colored'' who
are 100 per cent loyal. a fact the
Tribune admitted in an editorial
some time since. While the "c6l-
ored troops are fighting nobly" at
the front-many have died in the
trenches for their native handsome
have won the "Croix de Guerre''-
do not permit the use of terms which
are offensive to those they have left
behind, who are buying Liberty
Bonds, War Savings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps; contributing to the
Red Cross, Y. M. G. A., knights of
Columbus, Salvation Army and other
war funds, in spite of the fact that
some of these organizations either
segregate them or refuse admission.
They are also conserving food and
fuel and willingly making as many
sacrifices as any other group of
Americans, and they are genuine
Americans without the hyphen, the
Census of 1910 showing that ONLY
496 COLORED AMERICANS WERE
BORN IN AFRICA!
TO be consistent the Tribune
should use "Sheeny" for Jewish SOL
diers, "Dago" for Italian soldiers,
Mick for Irish soldiers, Frog
eater" for French soldiers and
"Chink" for Chinese soldiers, and
other nicknames for the various
nationalities which make up the
United States Army. Even German
