motions to Be Numerous.

of the principal newspapers in the
United States. Maj. Gen. Barnett said:
1.-THE War Department has authorized
an additional brigade of marines for
duty in France. with it's necessary re-
placement units. and 10000 enlistments
are urgently needed. 5000 of whom
are desired during the month Of May.
1.-The Marine Corps will not lower
its standards; it wants only young

tional commissioned officers In the
Marine Corps, and every one of these
commissions will be given to enlisted

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. April 2O.-Ger-
man soldiers, though graduates of Har-
ward. have no place on the Harvard roll
OF honor, protests Louis Curtis, a Bos-
ton alumnus, who has two sons in active
service. Curtis himself is a naval en-
sign, and he has written the Harvard
Alumni Bulletin. protesting against the
inclusion of the boches by the editors
when they prepared recently roll of
honor.
I need not dilate upon the methods
and aims of our enemies" he writes
'perpetrating and condoning the enormi-
ties practced by them which have shock

and which made the besmirchins of our

service of our enemies I hope their
names may be segregated for that pur-

padding to what should be a Harvard

Three Germans of Harvard affiIiation
fell while fighting for the kaiser, two

they were but three or four months out

DENY FOOD is WASTED
AT THE ARMY CAMPS

. Food wastage at Army camps. if it ever
existed, is thing of the past, according
to the War Department and the food ad-
ministra ton.
Although there still seems to be gen
eral impression that Army garbage pals
are extremely well rationed. investiga-
lions of all such reports have tended to
show that the American Army is rapidly
approaching the limit of possibilities in
food saving.
Scores of letters have come to the food
administration and the War Department,
telling of alleged prodiGal wastage of
foodstuffs. Each one has been the basis
for an investigation and each has shown
that the report was based on hearsay and
absolutely without foundation.

Struggle Day and Night.

Lord Derby said, in the house of lords ::
Our men can stem the enemy tide only
by fighting day after day and night after
night without rest and sometimes with
out food
Such is the iron requirement of the
general strategic situation in France.
However, the allied outlook improves with
a progressive German wastage and the
growing German commitment. Counter
fighting on a great scale should not be
expected until the Germans either are
AL out in their present offensive or
have made much greater impression
on Haigs magnificent troops than they
have yet made.
Military observers felt immensely
more comfortable with the British back
from Passchendaele in wide curve
ground they know. 1t is the burial
ground of scores of thousands of their
comrades. Their position is now more
compact and can be defended stoutly
with fewer troops.
Forty miles of Germans menace Haig
from Passchendaele to Merville. Brit
ish guns are Furnishing them cruelty
while they strive to make habitable
the awful desert of ridge. British
machine gunners. riflemen, bombers.
artillerists and aiTmen are opposing
indomitably the hun hordes seeking
to advance northward on a line paral-
lei with the famous Poperinghe-Ypr
road. to which the newly squatted
cottages and fields. German high ex-
plosives crack ceaselessly over this
territory, and they did for more than
two years before Haig thrust the
enemy back over Passchendaele ridge.
These shells are wiping out the i'm
provised homes of peasants, p!owing
up their freshly cultivated farms.
Field Marshal Haig's position, as
Lord Derby admits. is not without diff
ficulty, but he and his fighting gen
erals. like the mass of the British SOL
diery. retain their confidence and face
their great task with unbroken spirit.

LONDON. England. April 2o.-Every
one coming from the front expresses
establishment at the endurance exhibit
ed by the German soldiers under their
memorable commanders. Rain, mud
and cold recently have assailed the in
vaders. They have suffered not only
in their advance in the north. but in
their terrible position on the Somme.
But for the blanketing mists they
probably would have made no consid-
cradle progress anywhere. Desolation
surrounds them where they stand in
the south and where they endeavor to
advance in the north.
Heart-Breaking Waste.
Passchendaele is. perhaps. the most
heart-breaking waste on the whole
western front. Not a trace of cover re-
mains there. The winter trenches and
dug-outs carefully made by the British
We're destroyed prior to evacuation.
Deep wounds-black. watery and
slimy-deface the whole surface of the
ridge. Greater obstacles to an advance

can appear on the crest of the hill

the eastern sky within view of the

No Reflection on Count, Some Say.

The whole incident, in the opinion of
many observers, does not reflect. upon
Count Czernin, whose retirement is look
ed upon as sensible action on the part
of constitutional minister, but upon the
young emperor. who. as the Germans put
it, "blamiert" (disgraces) himself before
the whole world. Still there are some
people in the en1peror's encourage who
remark that if Charles move had brought
about peace a year ago. as was his inten-
ton, things would have come out diff
ferently and he would have been looked
upon as the savior of Europe and hui
mainly.
1t is thus apparent that Premier Gle
menceaus denunciation Of Austrian tricki-
ness served not only to GUST Count
Czernin, but to undermine the German
Austrian alliance and the prestige Of the
Austrian dynasty.

Empress Sympathy Not With Huns

Empress Zitas sympathies, 1t is
known, are not with Germany. She
has often expressed the opinion that
Austria was fighting for purely Ger
man aims and therefore should stop
to make A satisfactory settlement with
Italy. which would not be difficult: In
Germany, where the newspapers have
never been friendly to her. she is now
the center of an attack. Count Won
Reventlow in the Tageszeitung ridi-
cubes her thirst for communicating
with her enemy brothers" Another
paper wonders who is Emperor of Aus
tria Charles or Zita. The fact that the
German censorship allows all this talk
about the allied sovereiens to be pub
lished clearly proves that it is inspired
or ordered. The Vorwaerts. says:
This alliance with Austria must if
possible be kept up until the war is
ended, but then 1t must be thrown
aside as 1t has given Germany more
worry and bother than profit. 1t is
impossible to permit the fate Of peo-
pies to depend upon fits of the kind
that came over Charles when he wrote
to his brother-in-1aw. This personal
ruse consists in letting the cabinet
ministers find out from reading the
MISREPRESENTATION newspapers, and
even enemy newspapers-what their
sovereign has happened to say. 1t can
not be continued. Germany and Aus
tria must remain together until the end
of the present war, but afterward our
ways Fart and we shall both be free to
settle our future status"

AMSTERDAM. Holland, April 20
Private reports from Vienna give de-
tails of the scene between Emperor
Charles and Count Czernin when the
latter resigned as minister of foreign
affairs. The meeting took place in the
castle of Baden, near Vienna. The en-
peror summoned Count Czernin to his
study Sunday morning. The minister
arrived half an hour late owing to the
fact that his motor car broke down.
He found the emperor In state OF
nervousness. Immediately after the IN
terview between the emperor and Sount
Czernin a cabinet meeting was held.
1t lasted until noon and was resumed
in the afternoon.
When Count Czernin left the en-
peror's palace he said to number OF
people: II am no longer minister OF
foreign affairs; am going to the front
to fight against Italy.
In spite Of all denials. his resignation
was due to the emperor's letter to Prince
Sixtus of Bourbon, and particularly be-
cause it was not communicated to the
minister of foreign affairs. The count con-
sidered his sovereign's action as not only
sign of tiistrust of himself. but as an
unfriendly act against the alliance with
Germany, which it was his business as
minister of foreign affairs to keep up
That Count Czernin's view is shared IN
Germany is shown by newspaper COM
ment, which is curiously anti-Austrian.
The Catholic Volkszeltung Of Cologne
refers to secret influences to which the
emperor submitted. evidently meaning his
consort. who is supposed to have en-
gineered the whole correspondence be
tween the emperor and her brother, Prince

ration corresponds to the iron ration of
