Since the Great Offensive Began They Are Rap idly Increasing in the
 United States
LEGISLATION IS NEEDED
Officials Fear Much Great CT Violence When the Casualty Lists
 Come In

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Since the German offensive began, reports to the Department of Justice of mob attacks upon Germans and dis loyal Americans have increased greatly.
 Until recently such outbreaks were infrequent, but now are re- ported by the dozens daily.
 The Department points out the need of drastic legislation to deal with Germans and disloyal citizens, Officials say more bitter feel still may be expected when reports of casualties are received from the American troops now going to join the new offensive.
 The activity of spies in hampering the war program and in greatly endangering the lives of Americans at home and abroad, is another req son urged why means should be giv- en government officials to deal with the situation, and thus anticipate mob violence.

Republican Congressman Successful by Greatly Reduced Plurality
 At the Polls
SOCIALIST RUNS THIRD
Badger State Patriotic In Spite of Senator La Toilette and the
 Socialists

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April B. It is believed that Congressman Irvine l.. Lenroot, Republican, was yester day elected United States Senator to succeed the late Senator Paul O. Husting. His lead over Joseph E. Davies. Democratic nominee, is now 5000. Former Congressman Victor Berger, Socialist, under in dictment for sedition, ran third. Wis consin newspapers say the vote demonstrates that Wisconsin is by al and proves her patriotism.
 Senator-Elect Lenroot is progress siye Republican, and was nominated as a representative of the element of the Republican party that is sup porting the war. His plurality over Davies is small when compared with the Republican pluralities of 1916 when Hughes lead Wilson by 2S.000, Senator LaFollette, Republican was reelected by 116.O00 plurality, and Gov Phillip, Republican by 65.000 President Wilson gave his support to Davies, the Democratic nominee.

WASHINGTON ADvICEs.

Washington, April 3. = Count Czernin's statement that France suggested peace discussion to Aus ria is believed to be the beginning of a new peace offensive with Czer- min acting at Germany's request to spread the impression that the AL lies are fighting solely to recover Alsace- Lorraine for the French.
 The peace move is timed to fol- low the breakdown of the Teutonic offensive on the western front, with a view of placating the German people for the failure of the offen- sive.
 Officials here say that Czernin wilfully misrepresented some of the statements made by Clemenceau, these statements having been made to Washington officially.

He said Austria in an agreement with Ger many replied that Alsace-L Lorraine was the only obstacle in the way for peace between France and Au- stria.
