Small Nations Now
At Mercy Of Teutons
Speech, He Says, Proves
Austria Endorses the
Prussian Aims

LONDON, April 5-Lord Robert
Cecil. Parliamentary Under Secretary
Of Foreign Affairs. told The Associated
Press to-day that "whatever doubt
about Count Czernin might have ex-
isted before his latest declaration
there can be no doubt now that he
stands for Prussian ideals and Prus-
sian policy"
81 must confess" Lord Robert added
chat | prefer Prussian brutality to
Austrian hypocrisy. If you are going
TO rob and strangle your neigh Dor, it is
better not 10 talk of your moderation"
Lord Robert. taking what he charac-
.erized as Count CZernin's latest peace
terms, continued:
Count Czernin claims it'll the
greatest audacity that he and his allies
have just made proposals that are mod
ciples of self determination, no annex
atoms and no indemnities. AS far as
self determination is concerned, in
every one OF the new states they have
set up they have done so without the
slightest regard to the wishes of the
peoples, and no serious attempt was
made even to follow racial boundaries
o. racial antecedents.'
Regarding War Indemnity
"The province of Dobrudja CRU
mgnia). which has been handed over to
Bulgaria, has only IS per cent Bull
garians and 80 per cent Rumanians,
and Southern Bessarabia, which ap-
parently is offered to Rumania, is the
part of Bessarabia having the fewest
Rumanians. AS for no annexations,
Count Czernin claims that all he has
done is TO carry out slight frontier
is TO take an important part of the
Danube and all the passes between
Austria-Hungary and Rumana. Not
only this, he has driven back the Car
pathian frontier eight or ten miles.
"But the most hypocritical part of
Czernin's peace terms. while affecting
not to demand war indemnity for the
Central Powers, is the fact that they
have imposed one of the heaviest war
indemnities ever imposed 1t is a curl
Gus provision which applies TO the new
obligation whatever toward Russia aris-
ing from former relations with her.
The result is TO concentrate on the re-
mainder OF Russia the whole debt
which hitherto was spread over the
whole Of Russia.
Small Nations at Mercy
"From the Kkraine particularly
Czernin claims there is to be secured
all food obtainable. No doubt this will
be not question Of purchase but of
seizure. All the cost Of acquisitions
made by the Central Powers Will be
written off in Rumania. twill amount
to $50 100000. Beyond that they claim
the exclusive right to exploit the
petroleum fields, and any disputes aris-
ing from this are to be settled by
tribunal set up in Leipsic.
mo wonder that Count Czernin in
moment Of candor says that both in
the conclusion of peace with the
Ukraine and Rumania the first thought
was TO furnish Austria with necessary
foodstufs and material. That has been
the object of this peace. and it has
been accomplished by giving to Austria
Hungary such economic and strategic
advantages as to place these two coun-
tries az the mercy of the Central
Powers

metropolitan canvass committee The
formation will be twelve abreast, with
each committee unit carrying a suit
able banner and each member flag.
Another expression of patriotism
through a parade will be made IN
Brooklyn at O'clock this afternoon.
The participants will gather at Henry
and Remsen streets, and receive as
slgnments to positions from Lieutenant
Colonel Harry B. Baldwin. of the Attn
Regiment. who will be grand marshal.
Following the police escort the Navy
Yard Band will march ahead Of six
companies of bluejackets.
Borough President Edward Riegel-
mann will review the parade at Borough
Hall. Addresses will be made by the
Borough President, by the Rev. Ne
hemiah Boynton. Of the 59th Coast Ar
tillery; Captain E. P. Daimasse and
Sergeant Jenkins.
At 2:30 in the afternoon seven Amer
lean airplanes from Mineola, Long
Island, will encircle Manhattan and
drop 10000 items of Liberty Loan
propaganda over the city. The folders
and pamphlets which will be used were
dispatched TO Major Thomas II. Hitch
cock, the commanding officer at the
flying field, yesterday afternoon.
Further military atmosphere will sur
round the Liberty Loan campaign as
a result OF the placing by Brigadier
General Charles II. Sheriff. of $4,000
members of the New York Guard at
the disposal OF Governor Strong's com
mittee.
Start Work at Midnight
Those who wanted to celebrate on
April 6 before the day got very old
started in at midnight. In the lane
known as the Gay White Way the ac-
Invites in behalf Of the loan were live
ly at that time. And, by way of con-
trast. the home-like Bronx opened the
headquarters of its Liberty Loan head
quarters at midnight.
At 9 o'clock this morning the two
Liberty Loan symbols that are to travel
from Buffalo to New York-the Lib
erty coach and the Liberty ball-will
Loan coach was built in 1898 by James
Gordon Bennett after the design of the
old London Mill. 1t will be drawn by
the four favorite grays of the late Al
fred Gwynne Vanderbilt, who met his
death when the Germans sank the Lu-
sitania
Nationally, the need of the nation for
100000, 900 to continue to finance its
war operations will be interpreted by
President Wilson at Baltimore to-
night, by Secretary McAdoo at Phila~
deiphia this afternoon. by Wee Presi-
dent Marshall at ST. Louis, AID by Sec
rotary Daniels at Cleveland.
A fitting way for the plain citizen to
celebrate the day, in the opinion of the
friends of the Liberty Loan, will be by
subscribing to the bonds according to
his ability.

1000, Investors Is the
Goal Set by Committee;
Many Exercises Will
Be Held Here


Patriotic men and women do not un-
dertake to talk and sell bonds, bonds
and more bonds from April 6 until
May without remuneration to them
selves because there is something in
nately attractive in finance.
Recognition of the fact that dollars
put into Liberty bonds become fighting
instruments that will help America win
the war quickly, it is believed, has
rallied the great mass of supporters
behind the third Liberty Loan Prac-
teal men have recently said that Ger
many, Prussianized and militarized,
has respect for only one kind of argu-
ment-the logic of The bayonet. The
Potsdam association that is running
the enemy's war apparently will watch
with great interest the manner in
which chose Yankees" respond to the
appeal of the third Liberty Loan. Even
they will have respect for the argu-
ment expressed by twenty million men,
women and children depriving them
selves of luxuries to provide money
with which to win the war.
In fact, one of the chief driving
forces of the campaign from the Amer
lean viewpoint will be the discourage
ment that another successful f1otation
of war bonds in this country will bring
to the men around the Kaiser.

ton:

crate themselves to this great war
service which is Immediately at hand.
I call upon all organizations to
emphasize the opening of this third

on this day, and that during the four
weeks Of the campaign they devote
themselves in every way possible to
cooperate with the United States
government through it's accredited
Representatives in this city, the Lib
erty Loan Committee.
With the full cooperation of all
our citizens New York will continue
to set an example to the American
people in generous contribution of
the sinews of war. Let the result be
so impressive and emphatic as to
hearten our soldiers and sailors as
we'll as our allies, and to carry a
new message to our enemy OF our
uaaltcrable determination to carry
through to victorious conclusion the
task to which we have set our hand.
In witness whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the CITY of New York to be af

HEALTH HINTS

Because of It's name, Il Ger no other
reason, every effort should be mace TO
prevent the disease known as German
measles.
It's real name is Rubella and it oc-
casionaly becomes epidemic as the
virus OF the disease is easily spread
and is infective fo- adults as we'll as
children.
The incubation period is between
two and three weeks. On the first or
second day OF illness. which is mani
tested by a slight temperature and
sore throat, there appears on the throat
a rose-red eruption somewhat resem-
bling that of measles, but the color is
much brighter.
The rash quickly tnvades the face
and spreads to the chest and the whole
body within a few hours, where it ap-
pears as round or oval spots.
The duration of the rash is usually
evident for twoN6r three days and is
followed by slight branny scaling.
In slight cases the rash may resem-
BILE somewhat the scattered pin point
