Germany stu Pins Her Faith to
the Submarine.

The Berlin Torgdrfs declares that
SHOULD Spain give up her neutrality
It would be the greatest political tri-
umph the Entente has attained" 1t
Is apparently not the loss of SPANS
favorable neutrality that is appeal
ing so strongly to Germany as the
fact that Spain has made out a clear
and definite case against the German
submarine warfare and has proved
to the world its barbarity.
The statement of the Spanish Gov
eminent. which Germany had every
reason TO believe was most friendly
to her, that 90 per cent. of the Span
ish merchant marine had been sunk.
that more than 100 Spanish sailors
had been killed and more had been
wounded, shipwrecked and aban-
doned, has not caused any especial
expressions Of regret. The whole
discussion has resolved itself into the
necessity of the submarine as a Ger
man method of warfare. Chancellor
Won HERTLING has replied to the
Spanish note that he cannot give
any guarantees against loss by SUBJ
marines and that Germany cannot
abandon her submarine warfare. The
strong Government organ. the Lokdl
Anseiger, states Germany's position
as follows:
Spain must acknowledge the situa-
ton which compelled Germany to adopt
submarine warfare. Germany cannot
give 1t up In order to save Spanish YES
sells. 1t would render tho submarine
warfare useless"
The Ta0lische Rundschdu, although
acknowledging that the Spanish note
must be considered an unfriendly act
and an admission Of her favor to the
Entente, says that Germany cannot
make submarine concessions"
One Of the comments Is to the effect
that the stand taken by Spain will
have strong influence on Latin Amer
lean States which are still remaining
neutral. But this Is produced more
as an argument for effecting an under
standing with Spain than for altering
the submarine policy. The attitude of
Germany Is merely renewed expires
sion Of faith In her submarines. It Is
a faith which apparently has grown
with her reverses In the west.
Germany has called upon Won TIR-
PITT to. explain his failure to starve
out France and England on schedule,
she has asked for a statement regard
ing the part that submarines had In
bringing the United States into the
war ana she has resented the inability
Of the U-boats to hinder the transport
Of American troops to France. In
each case she has accepted the Gov
ernment's weak statements and apol-
ogies. She has changed her Minister
Of Marine, but she has steadfastly
held to the efficacy Of the submarine.
In the face of this Is the fact tina
nothing has more melted against her
the resentment of the neutral nations
or has been more instrumental in rails
ing against her enemies than this
barbarous method Of warfare.
Germany is no doubt troubled by

"Creellng."

That Is excellent adyice witch Mr..
GEORGE CREEL, speaking as a news
paper sage and official conservator Of
journalistic rectitude, gave the city
editors on Sunday. This Is the sub
stance OF it,:
Print only what you believe to be
the truth. Don't let your headlines
exaggerate. Get the truth. print 1t,
ana then stand back Of 1t to the end.
We hate to pass from general senti-
ments so admirable to specific judg-
ment so particularly unpleasant as
that which is pronounced upon one of
the latest performances Of the Gov
ernment's publicity department by a
real editor, scrupulous collector of
facts and a tireless and unterrified
printer of the truth; namely. by Colo
nei GEoRGE HARVEY, in the Worth
American RericU's War Weekly OF
The week Just ended:
THAT was. upon the face Of it, a
highly gratifying announcement that a
squadron of eighteen De Haviland air
planes, with Liberty motors, had made
q successful flight over and behind the
German lines. True, II seemed a little
queer that whether the squadron was
attacked was not stated as a report on
that point would have been the most
natural thing in the world to send. 1t
also seemed queer to be told that It was
undoubtedly a>scouting excursion: that
It probably brought back many photo
graphs Of the enemy's works; and that
1t IL assumed that this squadron Is now
regularly operating.
10 Such phrases SAVIOR of the glib but
cautious press agent more than of
straightforward military reports. "a'Se
while II was painful and humiliating, II
was not surprising to have Senators the
next day elicit through investigation the
facts that this epochal performance was
nothing but trial flight OF about fifteen
minutes over a quiet sector of the lines
where there is no fighting. and where
Of course there vas scarcely a POSSIBLE
ny Of the squadron's being attacked. In
other words. the thrilling announcement
was another example of 'creeling.' com
parable with the picturing of lot OF
French 'peneuins' as American battle
planes; and that still more marvellous
naval battle story which the gifted Gov
eminent press agent put forward last
year.
'Tt should not be necessary to poin,
out that such classification of news Is
misciiisvous IN the extreme. 1t is sure
to be found out, and the reaction thu
caused does harm far greater than any
Sood which could be done by belief ir
the stories. One Of the chief reproaches
directed against Germany Is the preva.
ience Of precisely such fakes in its pop
ular news and In its official reports. II
is an abominable thing to have our owr
oficials committing the same offence as
that for which we partly ridicule and
partly condemn the Germans. Our Gov.
eminent cannot AFFORD to engage IN sucf
Greetings To do so would be to forfeit
popular confidence in Official reports"

LABOR IN AUSTRIA
THREATENS REVOLT
MANIFESTO TO WORKING
CLASS WILL DENOUNCE
ABSO6-UTISM.

Berne, Switzerland, May S.-La-
Dor and socialist organizations in
Austria threaten revolt against the
government action in suspending
parliament.
Swiss newspapers print a tele-
gram from Vienna, quoting the So
zial Demokratische korrespondenz
to the effect that a committee OF
the socialist party ana committee
of the German socialist deputies
club have decided to issue mani
festo to the working class in regard
to the government action in which
the following declaration will be
made:
IF absolutism is re-cstablished
out OF regard for pan-Germanism,
which is prolonging the war, the
working classes will be forced to
fight for their rights.
The manifesto concludes by ex-
horting the workers to hold them
selves ready to fight if necessary"
The Socialist Arbeiter Zeitung OF
Vienna describes as childish and
criminal the governments idea that
it can soothe the passions OF the
mob and save crisis by simply
proroguing parliament. 1t warns
Premier Sydler and those behind
him that they are on the brink OF
a precipice.

MEXICO EXPELS
j. s. OFFICIAL
WAS SENT TO REPUBLIC TO
OFFSET GERMAN PROP
AGANDA.
CARRANzA RES P0NS|B[E
Associated Press Correspondent
Also Is Expelled-Both Men Are
Run out of the Country Under
Law without Trial"

Mexico, May S.-Unofiicial ad-
wise received tell of an order for the
expulsion from Mexico by the Car
rama government of Robert II.
Murray, the representative of the
committee on the public informa-
ton in Mexico City, who, in that
capacity has been in charge of the
work conducted by the American
government to offset German prop
aganda.
AT the same time the unofficial ad-
vices say one of the correspondents
of The Associated Press in Mexico
City, w. +. Weigand, was also or
dered to leave.
The expulsion of both men, it is
said, was ordered under the third
section of the Mexican constitution
which provides for the summary de
portation of "pernicious foreigners,
without trial or hearing. Some OF
the experiences of Americans ex-
pelled from Mexico under that sec
ton have been described as little
short OF narrowing.
Murray was the correspondent OF
the New York World and one Of
the best known American neWSpa-
permen in Mexico. When it was
determined to take steps to properly
inform MeXicans of the attitude OF
Americans in the war and thus take
German propaganda in Mexico,
which for months has been de
scribed as rampant, Murray was Sc
lected by the committee on public
information to carry on its work.
An order for his expulsion is taken
to substantiate recent reports that
the German propaganda had again
gained the upper hand in Mexican
official circles.
The state department was without
official advices from Ambassador
Fletcher on the subject, but had re-
ceived the report unotficially. Other
sources here in touch with Mexican
affairs heard the same report.
The last definite information Of
Murray and Weigand was received
here more than two weeks ago when
news came that both had, at the or
der of President Carranza, been
called before a military court and
that their deportation was expected.

ANARCHY SPREADS
OVER UKRAINE
PEOPLE REVOLT AT SEIZ-

BY GERMANS.

London, May S.-Anarchy is
spreading throughout the Ukraine
as a result of the German action in
overthrowing the government and
replacing it with another one, ac-
cording to an Exchange Telegraph
dispatch from Copenhagen.
There have been riots at several
places. and during a serious out
break in Kiev a large number OF
persons were killed.
An attempt was made TO kill the
Ukraine premier, who escaped with
slight wounds.
The Socialist Vorwaerts of Berlin,
the dispatch adds, publishes an Off
cvl Ukrainian statement regarding
events in Kiev on April 20.
German soldiers entered the rada
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, sur
rounded the members and shouted: /:
Hands up!' The president of the
rada. who protested, was thrown to
the floor and other members were
i'll treated.
Examination OF the members last
ed four hours and all documents
were seized.
A protest, it is added. was handed
to Baron Won SchwarzensteiI, the
German ambassador. who promised
to forward it TO Berlin. He de-
clared the arrest OF the members of
the Ukraine government had taken
place without his knowledge.

What Maurice Said.

General Maurice last month was
removed from the war office to act
i've duties in the field. His position
as chief director Of military opera
tions was taken over by General
Delma Radcliffe, former chief staff
officer OF the Canadian army and
chief OF the British military mis-
sion at Italian headquarters.
Shortly before his departure,
General Maurice in one of his Gus
tomary weekly interviews with Am
erican newspaper men made re
marks which were considered III
some quarters as rejecting on Gen
eral toch, the commanderin-chict
Of the combined allied forces. AT
one point of the interview he drew
parallel between the situation on
the battle fronts in France as it
stood then and the battle of Water
loo, when Wellington was awaiting
the arrival of Blucher.
General Maurice then asked,
what is happening to Blucher--
what has become OF the reserves =
On the following day General Haig,
commander of the British forces,
announced that French reinforce
ments had reached the British front
and this was taken as proof by mill
tary critics that General Maurice's 5
intimation that Foch was slow in
coming up was unjust.

Hungary, which has plenty

Conditions in Germany. the

ferent. The food situation is
