Soldiers Respond
to Field Marshal
Haig's S Appeal

Associated Press Service:
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Mea-
ger reports from the battle front
in Flanders today indicated that the
British army was Loyalty responding
to the appeal of its commander ana
holding grimly against renewed
German assaults. Meanwhile Off
GERS here discussed Field Marshal
Haig's call 10 his forces to fight TO
the last man.
The meaning and purpose of the
order were yariously construed
some officers hailed il as forecast
ing the counter offensive by the
united allied armies. others were
disquieted.
Meager Information.
The war department was without
information that would throw much
liFht on the battle situation. Officers
who have followed the progress of
the fight from hour to hour in press
bulletins. however, were very opti-
n mistic. They saw no reason 10 doubt
that reserves in sufficient force to
warrant q counter offensive were
available behind the fighting front
and they also noted with satisfac-
ton Gen. Haig's announcement that
French reinforcements were coming
Up.
The participation of American
troops with the French in vigorous
" repelling German assaults. report
e. by the French official statement
was welcomed by officers here
They saw in the report evidence that
the men have al the dash and en-
terprise expected of them and are
coming into acton like veterans.
Expect Naval Offensive.
Intimations from neutral sources
that Germany has been preparing
for q naval offensive as contained in
press reports reaching this country,
already have come to the navy de-
partment in a more official way. Mo-
bilization Of naval reserves at the
feet bases. assembly of supplies and
ether activities indicates plans for
a dash have been transmitted for
some weeks.
Navy officials however. were in
doubt as 70 the extent 10 which
these reports are to be credited.
They are pot certain that the news
was not put out by the Germans
themselves. for they find il difficult
tc see what real objective the Ger
mans might have i'm risking the
high seas fleet against the greatly
superior British naval force.

Lond on Hopes
for Settlement
of Irish Troubles

Associated Press Service
LONDON. April : 1S.-There are
strong hopes in London that the
Irish troubles will undergo a gradual
and pacific solution. an important
fact is that the menace of critical
events in France overshadows all
other considerations and imposes re
straint upon even all the factions Of
Irishmen and their ardent British
supporters. This restraint has been
exhibited in several ways
II eX-Premier Asduith had trans
lated his judgment against conscrip-
ton into a motion 20 reject the gov
ernments proposal last night. he
might have arrayed "a majority OF
the members Of the house against il.
This would have meant "A change of
government. But Mr.. Asquith con
sidered that an impossible thing TO
propose under the present circum-
stances and confined himself 20 reg
istering his conviction that conscrip-
tions in Ireland would be a great
mistake. As a result the minority
which voted against conscription
was composed of Irish nationaHsts

WASHINGTON. April 13.-rhe
Austrian semi-officiaI explanation OF
the peace letter OF Emperor

day from France, is that il was writ
ten by the duchess Of Parma. moth
er of the Empress Zita 10 her son,
Count Sixtus de Bourbon and that
the emperor must have added GER

now Premier Clemenceau was able
TO say that the letter was signed by
the emperor.
The dispatch frcm France con-
cludes:
The following information was
telegraphed Friday evening from
Berne, which gives US an idea OF the
effect which may be produced by
the revelations OF Mr.. Clemenceau.
10 has been possible this morning
TO note the impression caused by
this publication among the journal
ists OF the central powers living at
Berne. During an extremely animat-
ed converse ton, this morning in
which several German and Austrian
journalists took part one of them
exclaimed with the approval of his
interlocutors 1T is a veritible bomb
that has just exploded. He will
have to abdicate."

Before the publication OF the
text OF the letter the Austro- Ger
man press conforming with the in
sane lies o. the Emperor Charles
and his minister had the audacity
60 declare that il was a pure inven-
ton. III ,onfusion produced in the
camps OF the central empires must
be nearly as great as was their i'm
pudence of yesterday. They will at
tempt TO throw the respOnsibility
for the famous letter upon certain
