DENY JOINT AGREEMENT
ON VLADIVOSTOK LANDING
Statement From Francis Says
No Americans Have Been
OiSembarked

WASHINGTON, April 16.-In giving
out today the text OF a statement made
at Vologda by Ambassador Francis, the
state department made il clear that the
landing of japanese and British forces
at VIadivostok was not in pursuance
OF any international agreement, but
merely was for the purpose of protect
ing Japanese and British interests.
The ambassadors statement, which
was issued on April 10, said that no
Americans had been landed. II was
given out by the state department in
denial of reports that Mr.. Francis had
declared the incident was due TO an
agreement
Dispatches to the navy department
today from Rear Admiral knight, COM
handing the American Asiatic fleet,
and to the state department from con-
sular representatives still made no
mention of activities Of American
forces at Nladivostok.
Recent press dispatches from Hardin

TEUTON WOUNDED
FILL SCHOOLS AND
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Twenty-Five Train Loads Pass
Through Aux La ChapeIIe
Every Night - Expect to
Lose 100000 Men

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The heavy
price the Germans are paying for their
advance on the western front was told
in dispatches to the state department to-
day, saying that twenty-five trains load
ed with wounded are passing through
Aix-La-Chapelle every night.
The hospitals at AK, the dispatches
said. have been crowded beyond their
capacitv and the wounded were. lodged
in schools, public buildings and even
priyate houses There was a great lack
of medical supplies and no morphine.
II was also reported that the morale
Of the German troops is not good ex-
cent among the new levies of the very
young. -. -.
Germany is prepared to waste more
than 600, 900 lives in the west front OF
fensive, according to information here
today.
The Socialists and militarist leaders
are understood to have conferred be-
fore the drive began, reaching an under
standing that the radicals would not
interpose any objections so long as the
casualties did not exceed the 100000
mark. But. beyond that, the Socialists
were not prepared to stand for the reck-
| less use of cannon fodder" 1t was
| said.
The military leaders were understood
! to Rave pledged that they could achieve
! their purposes without mourning such
| casualties, though lately they have been
| inclined to warn Germany that all
| gains of terrain have been at Irightfu
| cost.
The nation was informed that the
| offensive would succeed and that tho
| bloody dreams of plu1derbund would be
| realized. Behind these pledges lies the
explanation of the sudden scrapping OF
| peace talk, according to the advlces
here.
Hindenburg and his followers were
! cocksure in their talk The British army
would be annihilated and Germany

would be accomplished.
The government has positive informa'

program. The fact that Germany doe:
not object is due, it is now believed, tC

Germany has shUnted aside the reich

DEATH. PENALTY FOR SPIES
IS PROVIDED IN MEASURE
Chamberlain Bill Also SpeCi-
flies PropagandistS Shall be
Tried by Court-MartiaI

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The death
penalty for spies and persons Interior
ing with the army or navy is provided
in a bill introduced by Senator Cham
berlain.
1t also provides that enemy agents,
spies and propagandists shall be tried
by military court-martial' inStead of in
civil courts
The bill would make the whole of the
United States part of the zone of mil
itary operations" Under it's provi-
sions any person who spreads false
statements and propaganda, Injuries and
destroys utilities prepared or adapted
for use of the land and naval forces
endangers or interferes with the good
discipline, order, movements, health
safety or successful operations of the
land and naval forces, shall be deemed
to be a spy and shall be subject to a
general court-mart.al of the army or
navy, and on conviction shall suffer
death or such other punishment as said
general courtmartial shall direct"
Coming under the head of attempts
to injure the cause of the United States
are writing, printing or uttering false
reports or matter tending to support
or favor the cause of an enemy coun-
try.
Senator Chamberlain announced that
hearings will be begun tomorrow by
the military affairs committee on the
bill. High officials will testify before
the committee to the need of such 8
measure.
Explaining his reasons for introduce
ing this drastic measure, Senator Cham
berlain said:
1.-The moral effect of one man arrest
ed and tried by court-martial is wortf
a hundred tried by the department al
justice in criminal courts.
1.-The war cannot be run in the Grim
inal courts or by the department of jus
tice. The army should deal with enc
nv activities. The one feature Of
bail alone makes the criminal course un
suited to war crimes. We indict a mar
for seditious speech, etc. He is releas
ed on bail and then goes and makes ever
more seditious speeches.
Enemy activities are activities
which must be promptly punished, thus
preventing at once future activities"

LEMONS BRING OUT
THE HIDDEN BEAUTY
Make this lotion for very HttIe
cost and just see
for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard of
lemon juice to remove complexion blen-
ishes; to bleach the skin and to bring
out the roses, the freshness and the
hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone
is acid, therefore irritating, and should
be mixed with orchard white this way.
Strain through a fine cloth the juice
of two fresh lemons into a bottle con-
tanning about three ounces of orchard
white, then shake we'll and you have
a whole quarter pint of sAn and COM
ljlcxiOn lotion at about the cost one
usually pays for a small Jar of ordinary
cold cream. Be sure to Strain the
lemon juice, so no pulp gets into the
bottle, then this lotion will remain pure
and fresh for months. When applied
daily TO the face, neck, arms and hands
il should help to bleach, clear, smooth
en- and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three ounces
Of orchard white at very little cost ami
the grocer has the lemons.-(Advt)
