LONDON, April 6.-Most OF the lead
ing editorials in this mornings Lon
don newspapers are devoted to the an
niversary of Americas entry into the
war, while the illustrated papers give
prominence to pictures OF the Amerl-
can soldiers on the Western front.
There is unity in praise for the achieve
ments of the year by the United States
in her war making programme and also
tribute by all to the leadership of Pres
ldent Wilson.

still only to be worthy ourselves of our
cause to reap at length the victory of
right that was assured to civilization
by the act of the American people 4
year ago.
Some of the other editorial express
sions are:
DAILY Express'-"We are proud that
American soldiers, vigorous and mark
eddy serious. as men intrusted with
great mission, and finely masculine, are
actuallv fighting in our ranks We
know that America is only beginning.
Our faith in ultimate victory is
doubly assured by the knowledge that
the young and unconquerable West,
strong in it's belief in its destiny, un-
rivalled in its resources and ever
scorning all half measures. is stand
ing with us in the ranks of freedom
hungry for victory and determined to
think of nothing and care for nothing
except the liberation of the world from
militarism and tyranny"

Englsh-speaking. the French and ltal-
ian democracies in their common effort
of labor and sacrifice. America her
self has not yet reached the most su-
nreme phase of the ordeal the phase
of heavy casualty lists. She may reach
it before long. No one doubts that
when she does she will rise to it in
the same spirit as we have done, and
from the blood shed in common there
will spring, as from most sacred

LONDON. April 6.-Three thousand

one can appreciate the anxiety Of the

lightning rapidity the whole complex

British people awoke to find themselves

existence

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Count
| ca-nin. Hungarian Foreign
MASTER has never addressed the
,,ited States, it was declared at the
ststs Department to-day. The Ameri-
,sn government, it was made plain, had
10. been in communication with the
.nemy governments, but there have
sseu some discussions IN Switze rland
setween Americans and persons who
,,aimed to represent the Teutonic pow
ers.
Such discussions, it was pointed out,
are going on constantly and come with
in the experience of all belligerents.
So TO. as could be learned, however,
none Of the exchanges of views was
sought upon the initiative of the United
States. For obvious reasons the sub
stance Of whatever has been communi-
Gated to Americans by persons profess
ing to be authorized by enemy govern
ments has been transmitted to Wash
ington BY this country's representa-
tiyes in Switzerland.
Pourparlers Cause Interest
The mere fact that personages have
been authorized by the Entente ma
tons to meet spokesman for the Cen
raI Empires in Switzerland. as dis
closed in the official Paris announce
ment, caused widespread interest here.
as it was not generally known that
such contact with the enemy had been
experienced. The fact that the confer
ences brought forth no results promo
tive of an understanding, but have
ended in the exchange Of recrimlna-
tions, produced the impression that
for the present there is nothing to ex-
pect from similar meetings in neutral
countries.
At the same time a conviction has
resulted that eventually, in the alb
sence Of a military decision involving
the complete defeat and unconditional
surrender or Germany, the peace pour
parlers will be secretly inaugurated by
the enemy groups in manner similar
to that which has just failed in Swift
lerland.
Secret Moves Expected
1t is believed here that in the event
Of the final failure of Germany to
break through the Western front. Aus
tria-Hungary, again at Germany's in
stigation. will attempt to set afoot in
Switzerland a discussion of peace pre-
iiminaries with the Allied powers, in
the meantime maintaining in Switzer-
land personages of high rank and rec
ognized official position who will avail
themselves of any opportunity to ad-
vance the peace movement
An Entente diplomat said to-day:
SCzernin has tried to cheat every
body, especially the United States, but
America has not fallen into his trap,
and now no one is in doubt concerning
what the Vienna Foreign Minister is
ito. HIS game is a smart one, how
eyer, and requires careful watching"

London Celebrates Entrance
of America IN Great War
English People, Hard Pressed Anniversary of Great
Event, See That Victory Must Come Through
Efforts of the United States

shipments Of food, her tremendous
financial advances, have been highly
appreciated, but upon the masses all
these things have made little impress
sion. as compared with her decision to
throw IN her military strength wher-
ever it could be used to the greatest
common good. That act proved to the
brltons the reality of the sacrifices
America is prepared to make, and has
filled them with confidence and graf
ltude which nave done much to dissi
pate their anxiety.
SO to-day the British press devotes
many columns to America, her Presi-
dent and her people. There has been
nothing like it before by way of dem
castration. not even year ago, when
America took her stand against the
enemy.
Victory Depends on America
Then the Allied future looked
brighter. and Americas decision to
join in the struggle was considered
doubly certain. To-day the Allies
know that victory depends upon the
American effort-military economic
and financial.
The klng's message to the President
voices the universal feeling of his peo-
pie. The Lord Mayor gave luncheon
here to-day at which he entertained
some four hundred of the most prom-
nent Allied personages in London. Ar
thur J. Balfour declared to America
and the Allied nations that he believed

brief visit to England and France.
Asserting that 1--WE have 10 make

he had given to the allied food ad-

Hoover said tonight that to do so.

and 100000 tons of sugar. However
Mr.. Hoover added, beginning Sep
tember !, there will be no need for
drastic food rationing in the allied
countries. except in the case of sugar
and beef.
In statement dealing with his OBJ

part
THE harvests in France, England and

OF the foodstuffs which America
must export. Mr.. Hoover said:
after shipping Is set aside for the

for military purposes OF the allies, a

OF our European food conference has
