 Secretary Says America Must Send Thunderolls Message to Her Defenders

CHICAGO, April 2S.-William c. Me Adoo, secretary of the treasury, de- clared that the allies line in France will hold, at mass meeting here to- night
 We are not daunted, fellow coun- trymen. by what is happening in Eu- rope" he said. We are not discour- aged because the lines of our gallant associates have been bent We are not afraid that they can break through that western front.
 At the close of the campaign on May 1, the people of America must send a thunderous message to our defenders on land and sea that they are stand ing behind them with all of their re- ton Q see this war finished with the finish of the kaiser's military despot- ism
 Must Sacrifice for War
 The keynote of the secretary's ap- peal was that the American people must sacrifice in every way if the war is to be won, because our army and navy cannot succeed unless backed up by the active cooperation and assist ance of the civilian population.
 As feature of the sacrifice that the people must make, he pointed out that they must not demand a higher and still higher rate of interest.
 The head of the treasury showed that an increase of one-fourth of one per cent in the interest rate paid would add d burden of $25,000, 900 year upon the American people or of $10. GOO, 900 during the life of the bonds. This added burden, he said, would force up the cost of living and if continued in- creases were made, would break the back of the American people to pay it.
 Pays Tribute to Women
 Mr. McAdoo paid. a tribute to the women workers, who, he said had sold more bonds than the men in many dis tricts.
 T am surprised he said after all the women have done in this war. there are still some male citizens who believe that women are not entitled to full citizenship"

SHANGHAI. Wdnesday. April 24.- The statement is made in the first issue of the Shanghai aGzette that the Chinese government has agreed to new demands made by Japan, which are of such a nature that the country has virtually been turned over to the Japa hese.
 The Gazette affirms that it has been Informed by a high official at Peking that the Japanese demands are far more serious than those in group V of the #mous 2l demands of Japan in 1915.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the utmost secrecy is being observed '' says the Gazette, "it may safely be stated that the following is not far from the true terms of the agreement:
 Chinese eXpeditionary forces sent to Siberia shall be commanded by Japa- nese.
 Chinese police shall be organized by Japanese officers.
 Japan shall control all of China s brsenals and dockyards
 Japan shall have the privilege of working mines in all parts of China.
 Special privileges shall be granted to Japan in outer and inner Mongolia and the whole of Manchuria."
 A dispatch filed in Peking. April 4. said it was reported there that Japan had submitted new series of demands To China. including complete control of China's finances, the purchase of 50 per cent of China's ammunition in Japan, operation of Chinese iron mines and dockyards under Japanese con- lrol, and recognition of special -Japa- nese interests in Mongolia as in Man thufia.

Comments on America

LONDON. Apri! 2S-"There has been noticeable of late" says an editorial in the Times, "a tendency to question the value of American assistance in the great struggle or at least its arrival in time to prove of real value before the crisis of the present tussle is past. This was perhaps only to be expected as the inevitable reflex of the first tide of optimism with which Americas en- try into the war was greeted and the eXtravagant expectations of its early effect which were then built upon that event.
 Since these last have failed to ma terialize their builders have hastened to cast the blame on America rather than confess their unwarranted as sumptions and. swinging over to the other extreme. now seeking to mini Inize rstnez than render justice to un- deniable Aner;ceE achievements.
 Reminders Ease Value
 Reminders will not be without their value if they increase our determine ton to put forth every ounce Of effort of which we are capable and if they convince each of the allies that the surest way to win the war is to do ali they can toward winning it themselves leaving nothing which can be done individually to be done by others and above all by refraining from hampering the labors of our friends by unhelpful criticism.
 If we have been dissatisfied with our own rate of progress we may be very sure that our American friends have been equally dissatisfied with theirs, and that, true to their national character, they have been even less sparing in criticism"
 Freedom Will Triumph
 LONDON, April 2S.-In a special preface to volume containing ex tracts from the prime minister's war speeches, Mir. Lloyd George says:
 T never believed that the war would be a short war or that in some mys- | terous way. by negotiation or compro- 1 mise, we could free Europe from the malignant military autoeracy which is endeavoring to trample it into sub mission and moral death.
 'I always believed that the machine which has established its despotic con trol over the minds and bodies of it's victims and has then organized and driven them to slaughter in order tu extend that control to the rest of the l world. would only be destroyed if free | peoples proved themselves strong and steadfast enough to defeat it's attempt | in arms.
 No Room for Compromise
 The events of the last few weeks must have made it plain to every thinking man that there is no longer l room for compromise between the 1 Ideals for which we and our enemies stand. Democracy and autocracy have come to the death grip: one or the other will fasten it's hold on man. kind,
 I have no doubt that freedom will i triumph, but whether it will be soon | or late, after a final supreme effort 1 in the next few months, or long drawn agony. depends on the vigor and self sacrifice with which the children of liberty, especially those behind the lines, dedicate themselves to this struggle
 There is no time for ease, delay or debate The call is imperative the choice is clear It is for each free citizen to do his part"

Flanders. We have reached a line from southwest of Langemarek to Verloren- hoek, Hooge and Zillebeke.
 The advance of the Germans in the last few days on the northern side of the salient created by their drive in Flanders, and particularly the capture of Kemmel Hill, have rendered it more difficult for the British to maintain their positions on the front before Ypres as high ground to the south as well as to the northeast now is in possession of the Germans. It has been expected that if the allies did not re-captnre Kemmel hill they would eyacuate Ypres.

WAR SUMMARY
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

The entire allied line in France and Flanders still stands firmly. Nowhere have the Germans been able to make a further dent in it. Hard fighting has been in progress on the Ypres Sector around Noormezeele and to the south at Locre. Both places have several times charged hands, but at last reN ports Voormezeele had been recap tured by the British but the Germans had obtained another foothold in Locre.
 Voormezeele was taken by the Ger mans Saturday but the British in a night attack won it back and since have held it, inflicting heavy casualties on the Germans in renewed efforts to take the place.
 Try to Pierce the Line
 The Germans have tried at several points along the front held by the French to pierce the line but every where have been repulsed, notably in the St. Mihiel and Luneville sectors, where recently American troops were stationed. Whether the Americans again came into combat with the enc my was not vouchsafed by the French official communication.
 Aside from these attacks and few unimportant operations between the British and the Germans, artillery duels have been predominated. The big guns of the French and the Germans have been carrying out mighty reciprocal bombardments north of the Avre river and in the region between Lassigny and Noyon.
 No Material Change
 As whole there is no material change in the situation along the en- tire front over that of Saturday, and it is not evident that the Germans are prepared for the present to resume the offensive, which has cost them so dearly in men killed, wounded or made prisoner. Reports coming by way of London are to the effect that in Ger many there is much perturbation over the inability of the Teutons to pierce the allied line and nervourness and de- pression over the losses the Germans have suffered
 The operations in the Italian theater continue of minor character
 Macedonia Also Quiet Likewise in Macedonia comparative quiet prevails, although there has been considerable shelling of opposing posi- tions by the artilleries and aerial bombing craft. Near Vetrenik. the Serbians carried out a successful at- tack against the Bulgarians and an initiated the section they held.
 Nothing new has come through eith- CT in the way of confirmation or denial of the reports in circulation Saturday that counter revolution had broken out in Petrograd and that Grand Duke Alexis Nikolaievitch had been pro- claimed emperor of Russia.
