London Paper Declares. New
Proposal Seems Like "Mid-'
summer Madness" No
Gain in Long Run.

London, April 10.-Most Of the
morning newspapers agree with the
principles of Premier Lloyd Georges
man power appeal. There is no quar-
rel with it, but several papers declare
there is need for caution.
The Daily Mail says, however, that
the choice which is now being made
is between victory and defeat, adding:
mo faint-heartedness Of the sur
vivors must make the sacrifice of our
dead in vain" II
There is no other course than that
proposed, it adds, "as Russia has fail
ed US and the United States has not
been able to send us armies in|time."
Cannot Exclude Irishmen.
The paper says that 1rishmen can
not be excluded when men of SO in
England are being called up for serv-
ice.
On the other hand, the Daily News
agrees that whatever steps will fur.

sULsTERITEs HOSTILE.
Irish approval Of the proposed
measures was not foreshadowed by
the attitude of the nationalist leaders,
nor did the Ulster faction show any
signs of conciliation.
John Dillon, the successor OF John
Redmond, denounced eonscription.f
Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster
leader, while approving conscription,
objected to the introduction of the
home rule measure at this time. The
house approved the introduction OF
the governments man-power bill by
2oo to 80 and it was announced that
time for discussion of the bill had
been extended until next Tuesday
Premier Lloyd George said the ex-
clusion of Ireland could not be justi-
fed any longer and the character of
the war was as much Irish as Eng
lish. Ireland, through her represen-
tatives, had approved the war and
voted to commit the empire to it.

SEVERAL SURPRISES.

SEVERAL SURPRISES.
The result of the primary showed
several interesting and even surpris.
ing features. Mayor Dahlman easily
led the field with first place, as he did
three years ago. His vote on Tues
day did not equal that Of 1915, not
withstanding that the vote at this
primary exceeded that of three years
ago.
Butler came under the wire in Sec
ond place and not far behind the
mayor. AS the primary campaign de-
veloped, it was conceded that Buffers
strength was something to be con-
sidered, but even his supporters did
not look for second place. On ac-
count of his FIRE apparatus fights dur
ing three years, and also his stand on
other propositions, he drew the fire
of elements which had knives out for
him Tuesday.
OPPOSITION rs MARKED.
Opposition to Butler was particu-
larly marked in the Seventh of the
Seventh, where he received seven
votes to the mayors 81, and in the
Thirteenth of the Seventh, where he
was given eight votes and the mayor
40.
The nomination of Ure, Ed P.
Smith, Towl, Ringer and Wulf puts
through the so-called dry slate on
which Smith ran as candidate for
mayor, and Ringer announced that he
sought to be superintendent of the
police department.
Probable Lineup.
Speculation is heard as to the prob
able lineup for the election campaign.
In the light Of recent events, and also
from expressions heard in and out of
the city hall, it is expected that Dahl
man, Hummel, Jardine, Withnell and
Parks Of the administration will take

GERMANS PRESS
LEN|NE into WAR
WITH JAPANESE
Utmost Care Necessary to Pre-
vent Engaging Nippon Ally
in Conflict With Russ BoI-
Sheviki Government.

Moscow, Monday, April 10.-Nikolai
Lenine, the bolshevik premier, in a
speech here today, said that possibly
Russia would have to declare war on
Japan in connection with the landing
of Japanese troops at Vladivostok. .
German assistance of the govern
ment forces in Finland is part of a
plan to gain control of northern Rus
sia and cut the interior of European
Russia OFF from the Arctic and Baltic.
This is the view Of the Finnish stu
alton of Oscar Toxic, former premier
Of Finland and. a commissioner for the
Finnish rebel government.
Under German Influence.
Washington, April 10.-Leninc is
believed to be peculiarly susceptible
to the German influence and officials
here believe the utmost care will be
necessary to avoid furnishing pre-
text for ethe declaration of war he
threatens.
Trotzky Appointed.
Moscow, April 10.--Leon Trotzky,
former foreign ministers has been ap-
pointed joint minister of war and ma
rines He has been acting as minister
OF war since the government was re-
moved to Moscow.
The Department of Foreign Affairs
says that Germany will evacuate all
the territory captured in the recent
advance, as well as some taken before
the Brest-Litovsk peace negotiations.
Thus the Narva and Phkovk districts,
the Mohilev government and other
territory will be restored to Russia.
Protest Sent Japan.
A protest against the landing of
Japanese armed forces at Vladivostok
has been sent to the Japanese consul
there by committee representing the
All-Siberian soviets. Copies of the
protest have been delivered to all the
other foreign consuls in Vladivostok.
The protest says that the feeling
of indignation among the Russian
masses caused by the landing has been
intensified by the statement issued by
Admiral kato, the Japanese COM
mander. 1t is denied that Japanese
in Vladivostok are in danger and the
declaration is made that the landing
is an interference in domestic affairs
similar to- the japanese participation
in the civil war at Observation-Disclosures,
IN the Amur province, where the
Japapese are charged with having
taken up arms against the authority
of the soviet.
