Fight Against
Hearst Asked
Security League Bulletin Will
Urge Patriotic Communi-
ties to Bar Papers

The National Security League sent
to the printer yesterday bulletin
containing a resolution Of the Summit
IN. J.) branch which calls upon all
patriotic communities to exclude
Hearst newspapers from their midst
This bulletin will be circulated all
over the United States.
The resolution was passed for the
purpose of spreading the sentiment
against Hearst newspapers throughout
the nation, just as it has spread in
New York and nearby states, notably
New Jersey, since "The New York
American" deleted the mayer for vic
tory from the Presidents Memorial
Day message.
The National Security League has
281 branch organizations. Its member
ship runs into the hundreds of thou
sands. AS it happens, it has particu-
larly strong branches in the cities
where Hearst publishes his various
newspapers. In the past the league
has been one of the leading factors in
the fight for the suppression of Ger

used to finance agitation among ne
groes and among Firms, Lithuanians
and others of the so-called Oppressed
nationalities" which for years have had
nationalist grievances against Russia
or other anti-Germanic allies. In most
cases this propaganda has been carried
on by Americans affiliated with these
groups, paid from some mysterious
source, believed to be the German gov
ernment. Except among the radical
Irish agitators, however, the propa-
ganda did not appear to make much
headway.
Evidence Is Conclusive
For many months, 1t is now re-

agents have been inside the councils
of the Irish in the country who plotted
armed insurrection of Irish citizens
against British rule. and have discov-
erred conclusive evidence that German
money and promises Of aid stimulated
the conspiracics as means of divert
ing the British government from its
war task in France.
Direct action to stop the intrigue
was thought inadvisable, inasmuch as
the government did not wish to meddle
in the domestic problems of the Bri-
tain. But the information gathered
was turned over ia some cases to
British representatives. and it is un-
derstood that the recent arrest Of q

Randall amendment.

Under an act of August 10, 1917, the

Cur,~;t passes Resolution

The resolution was passed by the gen.
eral committee of the Summit, N. j.,
branch Of the National Security League
Monday night. Walter G. Libby, of
Libby & Co., at 80 Fifth Avenue, who is
secretary of the Summit general COM
mittee, submitted the resolution yester-
day to S. Stanwood Menken, president
of the National Security League. The
result was that the resolution was dis
patched to the printer.
The question as to whether the ma
tional executive committee of the
league will take any action regarding
Hearst will come up at the committees
meeting next week.
Mr. Menken said that members of the
league branches at Mount Vernon and
West Plains, N. Y, had urged the ex-
ecutive committee officially to take the
same attitude toward Hearst news
papers as it had toward publications
printed in the German language.
This is the Summit resolutions:
"The National Security League,

Hearst newspapers from Summit, and

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE. May 21.-Further improve

by the British in their local attack last
night, just northeast of Merville, where
they carried out successful operation
which advanced their positions along .
front of 500 yards. The effect was t.

their territory. Some prisoners were
taken in the engagement. which, of

Foes Attempt to
Recover Ground
Near BailIeul

The British pincers closed on a
small German salient in the
FLANDERS sector on Monday and
established new British defence
line northwest of Merville, in the
valley of the Lys. Two German
attempts to retrieve the loss were
thrown back with heavy loss.
The German line extended as a
wedge, pointing to the Nieppe
Forest. Haig's men attacked both
angles at the base of the wedge
simultaneously and drove straight
through it. A number of prison.
ers and machine guns were capt
ured during the course of the
operation.
The enemy promptly counter at
tackled, but without sufficient or
ganization, and was as promptly
thrown back. Early yesterday
morning an intense fire from the
German guns indicated another
assault, which was delivered in
force on front of 1900 wards.
Though the German infantry
reached the British trenches at
two points, the attack was ef-
fectually shattered and the line
remained intact.
North of Bailleul, near the western
end of the hilly Flanders front
southwest Of Ypres, the Germans
struck twice at the French line
yesterday, but both attacks broke
down. This is probably another
enemy attempt to regain positions
lost to the French when they
pushed the Germans back over a
two-mile front in this region on
Monday.
Along the Western front from Me.
teren, at the head of the Armen
there's salient, to the Avre River,
on the front before Amiens, the
guns have kept up their furious
thunder. The activity has been
most marked along the Somme
front, where the Anglo French
batteries are bombarding the
enemy lines to prevent effective
preparations for new drive.
Correspondents at the front emphat-
size the success of the French in
their recent advance toward the
western slopes of Mount KENNEL
and of the Australians before
Morlancourt, on the Somme. For
some time the Germans have
seemed unable to prevent the
Allies from improving their de-
fences against the great expected
drive.
The German official statement Of
yesterday admitted the gains of
the French on KENNEL after the
attack on the long front between
Dranoutre and Voormezeele, but
declared that the main thrust

losses Prisoners captured by
the Germans, according to Berlin.

He mentioned an instance in the coun-

Sweden Breaks Diplomatic

Amsterdam, Dee. S.-The Russian
soviet government is aware that it is
approaching the moment of it's over
throw, according to member of a
German trade commission who left
Moscow November 8. Bolshevik cir
cles at that time were very depressed,
he reports, and many members of the
government already had their pass
ports prepared in the event they had
to flee to Stockholm.
Discomfort with the existing gov
ernment was growing daily even
among the lowest classes, this Ger
man found, and the recognition was
spreading everywhere that the gov
ernment had brought the country to
the verge of ruin in every respect.
Stockholm, Dee 9.-Sweden has re-
called her diplomatic and consular re-
representatives. in Russia with the ex-
ception of two officials at the legation,
for the reason that M Vorovsky, the
representative of the soviet govern
ment here, had, it was charged, been
transmitting Bolshevik literature
from Russia. The Swedish govern
ment informed M. Vorovsky that he
would not be further allowed to enjoy
the diplomatic courtesy privilege. The
government also stated it presumed
that M. Vorovsky and the other mem
bers of the soviet legation would
leave Sweden.

tator at Omsk has issued orders de-
posing General Semenoff, the anti
Bolshevik military leader in Siberia,
from command of the fifth army head
quarters at Chita and dismissing him
from the service.
The grounds for dismissal were
lnterruptlng communication and jeo-
pardizing the Siberian army. Colonel
Valkov was named as Semenoff's sue
cessor and orders were given to arrest
Semenoff.
This was admiral Kolchak's reply
to the recent ultimatnm of Semenoff
that Kolchak should renounce dicta-
