There are only tuOo kinds of
people on American soil today---those
who are FOR AMERICA and those
who are FOR GERMANY.
We are no longer Republicans
orDemocrats or Progressives or Social
ists---sOe are either AMERICANS or
TRAITORS. We are either giving our
soldiers the full, loyal support which is their
due; or we are deserting them in their hour of
need. And desertion is treason.
Ii doesn't make any difference
what country you were born in---if
you're loyal TO the United States and do
everything you can to help the United
States now when she needs your help,
then YOU can count yourself just as
good an American as any Son of the
Revolution.
But If yor turn against the
United States---if you refuse to help
the land that's giving you your bread
and butter, your home, your chance to
make decent living, if you refuse to
buy Americas Liberty Bonds when you
are able to do so---then you ought to be
over in Central Europe fighting for the
Kaiser. There is no halfway course:
You are either for us or against us.
You can't be for the Kaiser
and for America, Zoo. And every
man or woman who is for America,
no matter how poor that man or woman
may be, is buying Liberty Bonds if it's
possible at all to scrape the money

New York, April l5.-tSpeciat 70
The Forunil--I4ast week was mark
ed by the shifting Of the enemy
attack from the Amiens salient TO
Flanders. where he has launched a
tremendous blow which obviously
has for its object the capture or the
Messines ridge.
This new attack in its largest as
pect is intended to press back the
British at point far from the main
Amiens front, compelling distant
and difficult movement of troops, ana
to shake the whole system OF the
British defenses by a movement which
must be made over the long exterior
lines, while the Germans work on in
terror lines. His losses here are from
twice to thrice those OF The defenders,
precisely as they have been in the
much larger southern battle, and as In
that case the German CANDLES on sue
cess before these enormous losses ex-
haust him.
If he captures Messines ridge the
enemy hopes TO force back this whole
front; to compel the evacuation Of
the Ypres salient to recapture the
Passchendaele ridge and ultimately
to uncover Dunkirk. The Mesgines
ridge being very difficult to take di-
rectly, ne mas tried TO turn IL from
the south. In this effort he has forced
his way up and over the Lys river,
taking Ploegsteert woods, getting
around the south of Messines ridge,
compelling the evacuation OF Armen-
there's which lies south Of II. At the
same time he has fought hard TO seize
the top Of the Ridge but has been
thrown off in spite Of having occupied
1t at times. II he obtains IL the frst
part Of his program will be achieved.
But in the meanwhile his left flank
becomes more and more dangerous
for here the little river Lave which
comes into the Lys at right angles
from the south is held by the British
and the German has been twice
thrown back across It by Lancashire
troops who still held the high ground
to the corner at Givenchy. This. at
the moment of writing, is his chief
II he fails to hold
the Messines ridge or the heights TO
the south, his advance cannot con-
tinue. If he can secure his TANKS
firmly, both on Messines ridge and to
the south, then he can continue to

The offensive of the Turkish
