For Allied Force.
Declares Cecil
Failure to Divide Our Line
Does Not End Battle,
He Asserts

LONDON, April 20-Before the pres
ent German offensive began German
officers in neutral countries were pre-
pared to bet that the Germans would
succeed in dividing the forces Of the
Allies within fortnight, Lord Robert
Cecil, Minister of Blockade, in a speech
last night at Hitchin, declared he had
been informed
"a month has passed and the Ger
mans have not succeeded" Lord Rob-
ert Htinued, "but we would be wick

had ended. We have an indefinite Pc
Rod of terrible and strenuous strug-
giles before US. We must not under

withstood the Germans for four years
on equal terms have proved that their
valor is equal to German training,

A FRENCH SEAPORT, April 20.--"I

the west coast of France" said James
Kerncy, director for the France
America Committee of Public Informa-
ton, chat l think the folks at home
would like to know how admirably our
troop and supply ships are being safe
guarded.
"A French vice-admiral told me that
it was due to the great skill and CO.
operation Of the American navy that
no tonnage has been lost on this coast
for three months. He was most en-
thus!astic in his praise Of Rear Adj
mlral Wilson, who seems to have can't
ured all this part of France. The depth
bomb, listening device and HYDRO
airplanc in the hands of the Americans
have conquered the submarines.

War Called
Failure i'm Heated
Reichstag Debate
Bitter Criticism of Admiral
ty Reported in Dispatches
From Switzerland

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Disap-
polntment in Germany over the lack
OF success of the submarine campaign
is pictured as severe in dispatches to-
day from Switzerland. Bitter criticism
of the Admiralty, the dispatch saws. has
followed the realization that the un-
dersea war is not accomplishing
what was claimed for it in the begin
ming. One dispatch says:
"The accounts in the Berlin apapers
OF the recent debates of the Main
Committee Of the Reichstag upon the
subject Of the submarine war make
clear. in spite of the censor. the
severity or the criticisms. The Ger
man Admiralty was attacked by
the Deputies Of almost every party.
while Admiral Won Capelle had con-
stantly to resort to the plea of extenu-
ating circumstances for the powerless
ness OF the German navy to obtain tho
results calculated.
"The Radical Deputy sGothein af-
firmed the country had no longer con-
hdence in the service of the navy. Mr..
Noske, a Majority Socialist, declared:
we belleve 1T is necessary to make
use of every means of combat, and not
to consider limiting in any way the
submarine war. Unfortunately, the DO
litical fears we have experienced since
the beginning are confirmed. America
is not showing the least inclination to
yield.'
"Mr. Streesemann, National Liberal
leader, expressed his disappointment
thus: We must confess that the re-
suits of the. submarine war, however
remarkable they may be, are far below
our hopes The most vehement criti-
clsm was made by Erzberger, of the
Centre. who declared the calculations
of the Admiralty, which had estimated
at the beginning of the submarine
campaign monthly destruction of
100000 tons, appear now to be quite
erroneous. and that the hopes Of the
same Admiralty, which assured the
Deputies that the result sought, that is,
crushing England. would be obtaine d
by January 1, 1913, are far from being
realized'
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-04-21

while recently our forces in France
were placed with the French armies
under the command of that great SOL
der, General Foch."
Lord Robert did not think that the
enemy's formidable advantages would
decide the battle in his favor, but the
Allies must not come under the sway
of a too easy optimism.
The Minister of Blockade referred to
the revelations of Prince Lichnowsky,
former German Ambassador to Lon
don, and other proofs showing that
Germany was absolutely unchanged
since she strove to lull the world to
sleep by talk of peace while planning
this attack. Since the battle has be-
gun there has been no talk of peace
and nothing has been heard but talk
of German annexations, indcmnities
increase in the power of the German
military caste and the slavery of the
rest of the world. He concluded:
eve are fighting Individually for the
freedom Of the world. Any one who
says the Germans desire to live in
peace with their neighbors and are
ready to make just and righteous
peace is indulging in voluntary self
deception"

fM0SC0W, April 20.--Replying by
dreess biography to-day to the Ger
ban government, NJ. Tchitcherin, the
lolshevik Foreign Minister, said that
beasures were being taken for the
psedy evacuation of German war pris.
hers from Eastern Siberia.
For many months there has been a
iseady drift Of Teuton war prisoners
eastward through Russia. but the dis
e(ganization of transportation and
fter obstacles prevented any great
Fspatriation. Moreover. many of the
fnsoners announced they were with

Fsirograd and other large cities and
E.same nuisances. In some cases they
fssded police forces, were elected dele

There have been persistent rumors
taas thousands of prisoners in Siberia

pal number of prisoners in Russia is
stnated at 100000, but most Of

AMSTERDAM, April 2o.-According
to the "Rheinische Westfalische lei
tung," Of Berlin, negotiations are pro-
ceeding between the German govern
ment and the Reichstag with view to
majority parties Of the peace resolu-
ton Of last July. 1t is the official
view that the government should be
unhampered and that it is inadvisable
for the Reichstag to take definite at
titude either in the eyes of the peo-
pie or Of foreign countries.
Meanwhile, according to Vienna adj
vices to tho Cologne Volks Zcitung,"
after conference on the change in
tho Foreign Ministry, have announced
that their parties will continue the ef-
fort to obtain immediate peace for Aus
tria-Hungary.

and the local Soviet troops, officials
here to-day expressed little concern
over this latest development in the
situation at Vladivostok.
The Siberian railroad is in very poor
condition, and because Of this fact it
was believed that unskilled Russian
railroad employees would be unable to
move any portion of the vast store Of
supplies over the several thousand
miles of railroad that lie between the
Pacific port and European Russia. Of
fcials here also were confident that any
attempt to transport this material
which involved the suspension of nor
NAL freight and passenger traffic over
the Siberian road would fail because
of the hostility of the population of
interior Siberia, which would thus be
threatened with starvation.
An immediate connection was seen
by the officials between the announce
ment from Hardin of the order to
move the war material and press dis
patches from Ticn-tsin that the Japan
csc and British marines at Vladivostok
are to be reinforced because of in
creased anti-Japanese demonstrations.

cussed. In this connection some men,
bers questioned the efficiency Of the
British navy in the battle Of Jutland
but later all reference to that battle
was stricken from the record, because
some Representatives believed its pub
