to fight for Alsace- Lorraine, as if the
Eastern settlement effected with Rus
STA were final and no longer an issue
in the war.
This IS the position taken in the
" Berlin Norwarts," the leading German
Socialist newspaper, expressing the lib
cral opinion to which President Wilson
has constantly appealed. "Vorwarts,"
discussing the recent Socialist and
labor statement of war aims adopted
in London, accepts the Eastern settle
menv with complacency. German social
ism does not revolt at German annex
ations at the expense of Russia. On
the West front the Allies can have,
says "Vorwarts,' Gin the main" the
situation as it was before the war. If
they want anything more tferc they
can only obtain it "by an Entente VIC
tory" In the present lust of victory
"Vorwarts" is as imperialistic as if it
were edited by a Hohenzollern.

Rome Says Austria's
Words and Deeds
Are Contradictory

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Italian
Embassy received the following cable
from Rome to-day:
Italian political circles consider the
speech of Count Czornin as the clever
est manifestation of the Austro- Ger
man pro-peace propaganda. In spite.
however, of the apparently graceful
tone of Czernin's polemic with Presi-
dent Wilson in order to assure him
mat Austria recognizes his sympathcs
lor her, the Italian press finds that the
austrian fremler's acceptance of the
Tour fundamental points of President
Wilson'S second message is hatlv con-
tradlctcd by the very recent actions
or Austria. In fact, tremendous con-
ccntratlon of forces is being made
against Italy, and Count CZernin de-
clarcd IN his speech that the French
and Italian aspirations are foolish
utopas.'
THE Austro- German ministers. after
sneoretlcally admitting some of the
MaXimailst points at Brest- Litovsk. i'm
medlateiy have occupied n large section
OF Russian territory, thus showing once
more that there is never corresnon-
dence between words and deeds in Ger
many and Austria. The Austrian press
at the same time discusses the colonial
problem IN such way as to put Aus
trla in the same class with Germany
III regard to the 'mpcrialistc aims Of
the Central Empires
The Italian press finds that the al
i &c respect for the integrity of other
hatlons on the part of Austria cannot
be reconciled with the repeated asser-
ton that Italian provinces must be- &C.
cupicd and kept. At Gratz, a German
commission has passed a resolution To
the effect that Trieste must be assured
to the Central Empires by further
rectlhcatlon of the Italian frontier. The
same motion advocates the Immigration
ID me Asiatic shores of Germanic popu-
lntions to replace the Italian and Slnvic
elements living there.
I'm. me lrreducible contradiction be-
tween words and actions or projects is
thus emphasized" ."

German People
Warned Not To
Expect Too Much

OTTAWA, April 4.-1he German
press is warning it's readers not to cx-
pect too much of the offensive in the
West, says a Reuter- dispatch to-day
from London. The COLOGNE Gazette"
says extraordinary rumors are preva-
lent in Germany regarding the extent
OF the German victory" and are in
spired by the enemy, who is cxaggerat-
ing the Teutonic successes
The war correspondent of the Crank
furter Zeitung" says that hitherto it
has been impossible exactly to estimate
the German losses, but it is unneces-
sary to jump 10 the conclusion that
they are enormous because the victory
was difficult. He states that the en-
cmy's resistance is hardening and has
been favored by rain and stormy
weather, that have greatly hampered
the offensive operations.
The "German- Swiss Zurich Postc"
war expert writes that Germany has
been unable TO hinder the carefully
planned deployment Of the Anglo
French reserves, and the continuance
OF the violent attacks demands i'm
mcnsc sacrifices.

Women Red Cross
Workers Stick to
Posts to Last Hour

PARIS, April 4.-As the excitement
incident to the first few days of the
German offensive dies down reports
ger Of various workers in the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
Women workers of the Red Cross
who were aiding civilians in recon-
struction and relief work at Villequier,
near the River Sommc, left their posts
just two hours before the Germans ar
rived in the town. With their automo-
oiles they aided in removing the civil
lans and picking up many. wounded
along the roads. The women were the
last civilians to leave the town, just
preceding the French troops.
Another Rcd Cross unit, stationed in
hospital just back Of the lines. was
ordered to cvacuate in two hours. They
left at z o'clock in tho morning, and
were chased for miles by German
aviator before reaching a point Of
safety The next day the unit went to
a town near the fighting line and cstab-
lished soup kitchens for the troops and
first aid stations for sick refugees and
wounded stragElers. The town was un-
der continuous she'll fire, and the unit
answered calls at all hours to give first
aid TO those wounded by the enemy
shells.
The unit then took over complete
charge Of the operating ward in hos
pital, the nurses working in twelve
hour shifts in attending to dozen
wounded soldiers who were injured too
seriously to be carried further back.
The women also acted as strctchcr
bearers throughout the hospital and
took over a hotel in the town and con-
Quoted it fer the use Of Red Cross
workers ard British and French Of

soldiers on transports and wagons as
they moved through the town. Some
Of the men had not had anything to

horses or along the roadside under all

Il heavy rain.

decision," writes Karl Rosner. war cor
respondent of the "Lokal Anzeiger," of
Berlin, on the Western front. He says:
The value Of Americas assistance,
which formerly was confined to sup
plies of all kinds of materials and
equipment, has grown as the Germans
have been getting their hands free in
the East. 1t is of especial Importance
to Germany's opponents, inasmuch as
American divisions are expected to re-
place the Russians and Rumanians
The German chief command, how
ever, possesses fairly full knowledge
of the numbers and degree Of efficiency
OF the American forces on the Cont
nent. Adequate measures have been
taken, and from the advent of the new
enemy no turn of wars fortune not
even any serious obstacle in the way
of a definite German victory, is APP

Interesting information about the
Americans IN France has been obtained
from French prisoners captured re-
Gently near Tahure. They say the
American preparations are most extern

They are laying down their own rail
roads and building telegraph and tele-
phone lines. possibly with the ultimate
view Of doing a profitable business
after the war.
French prisoners describe eloquent
ly the solidlv built and comfortably
equipped American barracks and make
a point that the Americans keep pretty
much aloof from their French allies.
Thus, the Americans remain strangers
IN the land and the French have no
real intercourse with them"

By Arthur 5. Draper
tTribuno Cable Servicej

LONDON, April 1.-THE full text OF
the speech of Foreign Minister Czernin
was not published until this evening
Coming at this critical moment, when
the great European nations are en-
tangled in a death struggle from which,
they are powerless TO free themselves
Czernin's utterances make little i'm
preston. The momentum of the war is
now so great that 40 peace PASTURE can
check it.
Three weeks back there was a posi-
bility the beiligerents might come to
peace basis agreement, but that was
swept aside when Allied statesmen
learned the terms which the enemy pro-
posed.
Dare Not Break With Germany
Austrit wants peace badly, anG
Czernin could not camouflage the
seriousness of the economic situation
Of the Dual Monarchy, but her leaders
are pledged to Germany and dare not
break away.
Czernln is wise statesman and ex-
tremely moderate, according to enemy
standards. He would gladly quit the
war now. Unquestionably, all Europe
is for peace. but the moment has not
arrived. Much hard fighting remains
and great sacrifices must be made
The very fury of the pace will hasten
the day when the peoples will return
to normal living, but now every
thought is concentrated on war, and
Czernin's speech fails to divert at
tention from the battlefield.
Only Soldiers in Public Eye
It is amazing how widespread is the
belief that this is the last year of the
war. Whether it will be justified by
events none can say. Soldiers and
civilians are of the same opinion. In
the final state there are no cutters.
President Wilson's speech is awaited
here with the deepest interest, because
he is recognized here as the spokesman
of the masses of all Allied countries.
But statesmen generally are not in high
repute at the moment. The people are
placing their faith in soldiers, yet
Wilson's words will carry great weight.
