Prosecution Of Many Boot

Delay in finding witnesses involved
in the long-continued cases against
alleged bootleggers is seriously
handicapping the Police Court In dis

been unsuccessful.

M ADOO UNDAUNTED
by THE BIG GERMAN
ADVANCE IN FRANCE

Richmond, Va, April s.--Secretary Nc
Adoo. in a Liberty Loan address here
tonight. declared that he was not daunted
by the recent German advance in France
and said he had not the slightest fear
that all this horde with all their brutal
and despicable methods OF warfare upon
defenseless women and children can break
that western front"
THE peace of the world" the secre-
tary said. "can never again be secure
until the whole German ideal is de-
stroyed. That ideal is a repulsive and
impossible ideal to the civilization that
is going to progress"
The war" Mr.. McAdoo said, has dis
illusioned those who had a high regard
for Germany. whose purposes have been
unmasked until she stands pilloried at
the bar OF civilization"
Mr.. McAdoo who began his tour Of
the south in the interest of the loan
with three addresses here today. left to-
night for Raleigh. He said in his address
here he did not believe It necessary to
raise the interest rate Of Liberty Loans
to get subscriptions.
do not believe, he said" that the
American dollar is fugitive and must
be captured by high rates of interest
when the governments credit is behind
them.
I'VE have got to make it clear to ev-
cry man. to every woman and to every
child, that while it may be true that
they could invest their money in some-
thing else that would pay larger return,
they can invest their money in nothing
else so full Of blood and necessity as a
government bond.
I'VE have got to make it understood
that when government bond has been
bought. the patriotic thing to do is to
keep it,"
Mr. McAdoo characterized thes life in
surance act as ''the most advanced and
humane legislation ever enacted by any
government"

Landing of Japanese
at VladivOst0k Creates
Excitement in Moscow

Moscow, Saturday, April 6-The Japanese
landing at yladivostok has created great
excitement in Moscow. The Peoples conn
mlssioners held a session which lasted
throughout Friday night considering the
situation
NJ. Tchitcherin. the acting commissioner
of foreign affairs, summoned the French,
British and American diplomatic repre-
sentatives to the foreign office for a
conference. Col Raymond Robins, head
Of the permanent American Red Cross
mission to Russia, attended unofficially.
Consul Grenard acted for France and
r. Lockhart, of the British embassy, for
Great Britain
NJ. Tchitcherin made an emphatic pro-
test against the entry Of foreign troops
into Russia and expressed regret that
the entente permitted such action He
said the only solution was the immediate
withdrawal of the troops.
Although without official advices from
their governments concerning the situa-
ton at yladivostok, the represent atives
Of the three countries expressed the opin-
ion that the situation was purely local
one, requiring temporary pOIiclng, and
not a general movement Of allied troops
into Siberia, as the commissioners seemed
to believe All three gave 1t as their
opinion that the incident might be set
tied satisfactorily at an early date.
The Russian papers of all parties gem
orally express fear that the Vladivostok
movement is the first step in the Jap
anese occupation Of Siberia an idea that
has been prevalent in the Russian press
constantly for many months.
The Siberian central executive OF the
workmen's and soldiers deputies imme-
diately organized a red army TO resist

reference not justified bysthe insigni-
ficant incident It yladivostok.

GERMAN STATEMENT
German Press Comment

Amsterdam. April S.-The German
lish only summary of President Will
sons Baltimore speech and for the
most part reserve comment until the
full text of his speech is available.
The vossiche Zeitung speaks of the
wide gulf between President Wilson's
words and deeds. and says that where
the President confesses his conversion
to the policy OF force his words have
theatrical sound and lack the force
of conviction.
The Taegliche Rundschau says:
"Our readiness for peace simply does
not exist for President Wilson. He ac-
cuses us of striving for world domin-
ion. although the statesmen and rep
resentative assemblies OF the centra,
powers have. repeatedly emphasized
their self-restraint and desire for
peace"
The Vorwaerts says:
THE hopes placed in their great ally
across the Atlantic with her mighty
resources buoy up our enemies and
drive them to ever renewed resistance.
There now is no other solution for the
world confusion than complete Ger
man victory also in the west"
The Krupps organ, The Essener All
gcnleine. considers that the American
danger will become acute for Ger
many when peace is in sight"

matte position will be improved. AS a
