LAW PROPOSED TO
DRAFT idle WOMEN
LoAFERS WITH THOSE OF OPPo-
SITE SEX UNLESS THEY
ACT QUICKLY.
Need of Their Services In Useful War
Work-A Movement Afoot to Peti-
ton Massachusetts Legislature to
conscript Women.

r. 40 VI . X y e l.
Boston, Mass.-Wome loafers will
soon be classed with those of the OPP
posite sex unless they quickly realize
the need Of their services in useful war
work, for there is already movement
afoot to petition the Massachusetts
Legislature for law to conscript wom-
en- and make them do their share to-
ward winning the war. There is great
need for women to help in many lines
of endeavor directed toward speedy
termination of the war, but despite the
appeals of those who are now giving
their greatest energies, the response is
not what it should be, it is said. The
law which requires men to work or
fight has appealed to those engaged
in woman's activities, and so they are
going to seek legislation to compel
them to help out in the service. Wom-
en- most active in war work are re-
luctant to admit the need of a draft
law for women in Massachusetts, but,
nevertheless, it is known that women
who are doing their utmost are agreed
that the bridge parties, teas and the
motion pictures are still claiming more
attention than is patriotic from eligible
women. They are secretly planning
to take drastic measures to enroll
their sisters in useful service.

Says Gerard, "If Foe Takes to RePri-

New York.-German prisoners are
going to be fried" in the parks here
if the German Government attempts
any frightfulness upon Americans be-
cause of Franz Won Rintelen's reten.
tion as prisoner, according to former
Ambassador James w. Gerard. Ger
arc spoke at the opening of the Y. M.
C. A. hut at Bryant Park. He said
in part:
''The prison camps of Germany
treat our boys badly and they are be-
ing starved and treated as slaves. ]
am glad that our brave Secretary Of
State, Mr.. Lansing, dared the Germans
to make reprisals against our men if
we do not give up Won Rintelen.
''Von Rintelen abused our hospital
fly, blowing up ships and factories,
and if they show any more of the
frightfulness we will fry German pris-
oners right here in Bryant Park"

GERMANS THREATEN
STATE SECRE TARY
BLUFF HAS NO EFFEcT-TURNS
DOWN PLEA THROUGH SWISS
THAT RINTELEN BE FREED
In Exchange For London-Latter Is
Described as "AlIeged American"
in Warning To Hun To Beware OF
ReprisaIs.

Washington. -Secretary of State
Lansing, in note which bribtles with
defiance, has refused demand from
the German Government for the re-
lease by exchange of Captain-Lieuten-
ant Franz Won Rintelen, master-spy
and plotter. A threat to institute re-
prisals among United States prisoners
is hurled back with the warning that
the fate of all Germans in the custody
of the United States depends on strict
adherence to accepted international
practices. A note received in the
State Department on April 20, through
the Swiss Minister, proposed the ex-
change of Siegfried Paul London, con-
victed by the Germans as spy in
Warsaw and given 10 years penal serv-
itude.
The difference in the station OF the
two prisoners and their respective val
ues to the Governments concerned is
regarded as a glazing example of Ger
many's unwillingness, at any time, to
make a fair bargain. Siegfried Paul
London is referred to in the German
communique as "citizen of the Uni
ted States" AS a matter of fact, he
was born in Leipsig, of German par
ents, and has lived in Russia during
the last 16 years. He took out natur-
alization papers in New York in 1887.
q
one of the most conspicuous figures
connected with German intrigue in
this country and England. He was
custodian and disbursing agent of the
great fund, estimated at $15,OOO,OOO,
placed at the disposal of Count Won
Bernstorff, former Ambassador in
Washington.
Great interest was attached to the
arrest of Captain Won Rintelen, oW-
ing to the assertion that he is a rela-
tive of the Kaiser. This is regarded
as a certainty at the State Depart
.ment that the prisoners connection
with the German nobility is the direct
cause of the measures taken to obtain
his release. In Entente diplomatic
circles the reply made by the United
States is regarded as firm and entire
ly consistent with the principles rep
res ented by the established war pol
icy of the Government. On April 29,
1918. the Swiss Minister presented to
the State Department the following
note from the German Government:
ION December 20, 1917, the mer-
Chant and interpreter, Siegfried Paul
London, a citizen of the United States,
was condemned to death by court
martial at Warsaw for war treason as
a spy. The Governor-genersl Of War
saw, exercising judicial clemency on
January 9, 1918, committed this SEN
tence to ten years penal servitude.
According to facts established at the
court-martial London obtained citizen
shib In the year 1887. He is married

HUNS OPEN UP
new OFFENSIVE
PENETRATE ALLIED LINES TO A
DEPTH OF TWO AND A
HALF MILES.
PoIIus Oppose Teuton Waves With
Greatest Fury, Combating Effort 20
Reach Either Amiens or Paris
Violent Artillery Fire.

London.-The Germans at dawn
opened a new terrific offensive, choos'
ing the southern line of their Picar'
dy wedge, from Noyon to Montdidier,
some 20 miles in extent, as their at
lacking front, gaining ground to q
depth of two and half miles.
A violent artillery bombardment,
which began at midnight, ushered In
the new drive, which may have either
Amiens or Paris, or both, as its OBJ
jectives.
This time the Teutons did not have
a 'walk-over," however. Even the pre-
llminary bombardment was met by
terrific counter-shelling from the
French heavy guns, and when the In
fantry attack began at 4:3O o'clock
the Germans found the French fully
prepared and resisting with tenac1ty
which the Paris day communique de-
scribed as magnificent" A savage
battle ragged all day.
ITO Paris" is the foremost idea OF
the new German offensive. Again the
Germans are following their latest
method of attack, pursued in the Pic
a1Gy, Flanders and Champagne drives,
namely, that of launching their 1nfan-
tr., assaults after short but fienHa
preliminary bombardment, drenching
the allied front line for four or five
hours with high explosives and mus
tard'' and "yperite" gas shells.
This concentrated Smelling was fol-
lowed by the advance of the infantry
iii massed formation, as usual.
The attack was not surprise. Ev-
erywhere the defenders opposed 1t
with the stoutest resistance, the poilus
fighting with the greatest fury, realiz-
ing that German gain in this new di-
rec ion would mean turning OF the
French positions south of SCISSORS, as
farEas the region before the Yillers-
Cutterets wood.
The fighting centers upon twenty
nile front between Noyon and Mont
didier. The enemy is hurting his
masses against strong French posi-
tions in the forests Of Compeigne and
Laigue.
The French day official statement OF
this afternoon says the French resist
ed with valor in the covering zone.
Between the Disc and the Marine
and south of the Ourcq the French
made gains, capturing two woods,
driving out Germans who had pene-
trated their lines and taking 200 pris-
orers. A German attack west of
Rheims failed.
The official announcement that an
otter phase of the German offensive
was opened between Montdidier and
Noyon was interpreted by the public
as having a hopeful aspect.
The point was made that the latest
attack is on a front of only about 20
miles, compared with a front of so
miles for the first offensive this year,
or March 81, and of 25 miles for the
attack long the Aisne on May ~.

RUSSIA'S AMAZONS

The life of the Battalion of Death says Leo Pasvolsky, writing of Rus sia, "in Petrograd, before it started for the front, was a simple and stern- ly disciplined one. They would arise at o'clock and drill all day long un- til o'clock at night, with but short periods of rest. Their mess was the simple fare that soldiers ordinarily have They slept on bare boards in their barracks, seven hours being al lowed for sleep.
 Only once, while the battalion was drilling at Petrograd, was there an attempt to break the iron discipline which Maria Bochkareva had succeed ed in establishing. Two representa- tives of the Bolsheviki entered the le- zion as volunteers and then began an anti war propaganda. But they were imm mediately dismissed by Mme. Boch- kareva, who gathered her battalion and addressed them as follows: If you do not want to submit to the sternest discipline; if you hesitate to go to the front, where we are going soon, please leave us at once. I want only strong, brave women, who love Russia and are ready to lay down their life for her"

Tt!
 These are few of the Type A lies. Of the other types are the follow ing: Germany is unbeatable; so why go against her? We will never get troops to Europe in time. We cant equip our soldiers. We cant feed our soldiers. Germany never intends to attack us here; so let's keep our troops at home to defend us when she does. If we must choose a machine gun for our Army, let us pick one that isn't invented yet We must have free speech; it is better to have people talking than doing things.
 Germany undermined Russii with lies. Germany undermined Italy with lies. She is trying to undermine Am erica with lies.
 Don't be fooled. America has, and is, mobilizing, equipping and drilling troops. She has sent and is sending them to Europe She will give 'em plenty to wear, plenty to eat, plenty to shoot, and plenty of guns to shoot it in. She is building a gigantic fleet of airplanes. She is building a great fleet of destroyers and adding to her battleships and cruisers.
 America is going to make the world safe for democracy. The President has said so, and the country has said so, and they mean what they say.
 Tag the German lie for just what they are-German lies.

GERMAN LIES AND
 GERMAN LIARS

(By Porter Emerson BrOwne)
 When the Germans let loose upon the world their poison gas and their liquid fire the world, aghast, thought that the end lad been reached.
 It had not For since that time have these same Germans found, and brought to use; even a still more leth- al weapon-a weapon alike as yelled as it is deadly. as noxious as it is ef- fective. and quite in keeping with the absolute negation of ethics, or morals of decency. of humanity that has marked Germany's warfare from the Belgian atrocities down to the present date.
 And this new weapon is lies.
 Throughout this country. as well as throughout the countries of the allies, Germany has flung her serried lines of German liars All kinds of lies they tell, and in all kinds of ways, from the 42-centimeter lie that no one believes down to the dumdum lie that makes little hole going in and big one com ing out, and the chlorine lie that you don't even know is a lie until you find that you are overcome to a point where some friend has to give you the restorative of truth.
 There is the direct lie, and the richochet There is the nitroglycer- in lie that explodes itself when it hits; and the time-fuse lie that doesn't go off for week or so There are lies on the land. in the air, on the sea. and under the sea.
 And all these lies, effective and in- effective. big and little, are directed against each of the allied nations to confuse. to distract, to puzzle, to de lay, them in the successful prosecution of the war.
 The life of an aviator is only 30 hours in the air."
 And there are aviators who have been flying for three years.
 The Navy is rotten with disease!"
 Maybe SO? But you must admit that when it comes to sinking submarines they do pretty well for bunch of in- valids.
 The camps are hotbeds of immoral ity."
 A lie on the face of it. If there were the inclination, there is neither the place nor the opportunity.
 This is not Americas war"
 Whose war is it to defend the rights Of America and Americans against submarines a tsea and pilots on land to present Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona to Mexico? To say nothing of blowing up American ships in Am erican harbors, and American factor ies in American cities?
 All Germany wants is just peace"
 That all. A just peace that will give her Poland, Belgium, Alsace Lorrain, Turkey, Bulgaria, Servia, Roumania, control of the Baltic and the Black Seas and ports on the Mediterranean. A just peace in which she can coord- mate her new possessions preparatory to taking another wallop at the rest of the world! As her own people have already announced that it is her intention to do.
 England is making her colonies do all the fighting"
 England lost 10000 men-her en- tire standing armySin the first few months of the war. And she is now holding the biggest part of the west ern front and sending troops to Italy besides!

 Take the English Navy away for few weeks and see! Germany has an nounced her dream of world power If \ Ar- ~rica isn't in the world, where is
