PRUsSIANISM AND THE TEUT0NS

1t is SAID that the BaNaTldhS nate
the Prussians almost as much as do
some elements of the population Of
the duel monarchy, which President
Wilson has said is merely vasal of
Germany.
The Bavarians have been among the
hardest fighters OF the Teutons arm
les and some of the picked divisions
of the army have come from that
quarter. Thus far there has been no
suggestion Of Bavarian opposition TO
the Berlin scheme OF conquest, or Of
desire FOR peace on the democratic
basis favored by the Austro-Hungar-
ians.
The Bavarians are as loyal to the
empire. so far as we know, as any
others and may continue so, but II
is not impossible that the democratic
ideas that appear to be spreading in
Germany may extend to all parts of
the empire, including Bavaria, and
cause revolt against the Prussian-
ism that is almost as distasteful TO a
large element in Germany as it is to
the Slavs and Czechs and some others
in the dual empire ruled over by the
Hapsburgs. The revolt may not come.
however as long as the empire is held
together by the exigencies OF war and
loyalty to the fatherland. though it
is conceivable that it might follow a
democratic peace, which is thing
the German military autocracy can
only contemplate with horror and
dismay.

they acquire the valuable quality Of

The official statement follows: " After
an ll.days' offensive, during which the
Germans have rccklessly pushed for
ward their attacking waves, one may
gather fairly accurate estimate of
their losses.
81 In the first place, it has been pos
siblc to identify nearly 100 of their
divisions since the beginning Of the
offensive, more than 10 of which were
twice engaged. Some divisions had to
be relieved at the end of the first day,
having lost more than half of their
men; such was the case of the 10th and
the SSth The latter has been nearly
entirely wiped out. Among those that
have suffered the most arc the 9TH,
18th, 2Sth and l07th divisions, as well
as the I'd (Prussian guard, the 10th, the
2lst and 10Th divisions of reserves.
'tn the second place, an enormous
numbers of bodies were found on the
battle ground, and the prisoners on be-
ing questioned acknowledged the eN-
tent of the losses Of their respective
units.
''To conceal from the German people
the heavy sacrifices that their offensive
methods required, the Germans are send
ing most of their wounded to Belgium.

No Loss of Life Reported-Effort Made
to Save Vessel-FeW, If Any,
Troops on Board.

NEW YORK. April 2.-The big White
Star liner Celtic has been torpedoed, ac-
cording to reliable information received
here yesterday in marine circles, during a
voyage from England to America Efforts
were made to save the vessel, which, it Is
believed, carried no passengers.
If there were any American soldiers at
all on board the Celtic, it was said at
Washington, they were very few in number
and carried as ''casuals returning home.
It was stated that there were no sick or
wounded on board.
The Celtic has a gross tonnage OF 20,9ol
and has for many years beeG one Of the
largest steamships in trans Atlantic sery-
ice. She was built at Belfast IN 1901 and
flies the British flag.
More than year ago the Celtic hit a
mine off Liverpool and was damaged
slightly. In 1916 it was reported that a
bomb. presumed to have been placed or
board at New York, was discovered OF
the Celtic upon her arrival at Liverpool
but this was denied by officials of the
White Star line. 1t was the Celtic which
brought So, 5,00O,0 900 worth of American
securities from England in October, 1916.

FOUR CIVILIANS
KILLED IN RIOT
Quebec Now Comparatively
Quiet and 1t Is Believed
the Worst Is Over
SIXTY-TWO MEN ARE
UNDER ARREST TODAY
They Are Charged with Frequenting an
Illegal Assembly-Killed and Wound
with Disturbances.

QUEBEC, April 2.-Fighting between
the rioting clements in Quebec and the
military forces, which resulted last night
in the killing OF at least four civilians and
the wounding of number of civilians
and soldiers, continued into the early hours
today After midnight the firing died
down to very great extent, but men on
housetops sniped the soldiers for hours
This forenoon the city was compara-
lively quiet and it was hoped by the mill
tary authorities that now that il had been
shown that no more breeches OF the law
would be tolerated the disorderly factions
would abandon their demonstration. SO
far the killed and wounded civilians appear
to be innocent victims who were not con
nected with the disturbances in any way.
| Sixty-two men were under arrest today
in connection with the rioting charged
with frequenting an Illegal assembly. This
morning Gen. Lcssard consulted with the
civil authorities as to their prosecution.

All Questions of National Pride Put
Aside in Placing Our Soldiers at
Fighting Front

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The an
nouncement from London that Ameri-
can army units would be brigaded
with British and French organizations
was interpreted by army officers here

aside all questions of national pride in
placing American man power at the
immediate disposal of the allies. The
plan was decided on at conferences by
Secretary Baker, Gen. Bliss and Gen,
Pershing and British and French off
cials. So far as known the war depart
ment had not been officially informed
of it today. Details of the method to
be followed are not available, and pre-
,sumably will be arranged by Gen.
Pershing There is every indication,
however, that American troops now in
training here are to be rushed across
regardless Of their proficiency.
