lean general today.
Tho commander said:
ga quick barrage fire probably pre-
vented the enemy several days ago
from carrying out the raid which they
did accomplish Wednesday morning.
"'We have no way of knowing the
enemy casualties as the result of our
shelling-but it seems most probable
that they suffered some loss. -
Permission was granted today TO
state that American batteries have
twice on recent nights barraged the
German lines. One of these was the
occasion spoken of by the general. In
the other it was not definitely estab-
hshed whether the Germans had left
their own trenches.

SAYS WAR IS ACID TEST OF
DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES
Former Justice Hughes Also Tells
Virginia solons Peace by Nego-
tiation Will Not Be Effective.

RICHMOND, Va, March 22.-Standing
in the legislative halls of Virginia.
Charles Evans Hughes, once republican
nominee for President, addressed
crowded house yesterday by special
request.
"All sections today are knitted to-
gether, which will be of vast beneht
long after the war;" said Mr.. Hughes.
I'VE are today fighting for the principle
of democracy. We are testing this
democracy with an acid test. Our de-
cision will be regarded as just because
it will be spoken by a people who have
free speech, a free platform and a
free press.
ct is useless for any one to deiude
himself that peace with negotiations
will be effective. Germany is obsessed
with the idea of world power and world
dominion. We must use all man power,
all available powers of organlzatlon
and we must oppose this foe until we
have a temple where liberty and 1ustlce
shall reign and where international
rights shall not be desecrated. We must
realize this is very serious time; we
must realize that nation which can.
not defend the principles on when IL
was formed is not destined to ENQUIRE,
and a nation which is unwilling to nght
for it's principles cannot endure.

PRESIDENT TO PUNISH
STACKER SELECTS

President Wilson has directed that
Conscientious directors drafted into
the National Army who are unwilling
to accept non-combatant service shall.
in extreme cases, be confined in dis
culinary barracks. When they do not
actually disobey a command they shall
be held for whatever disposition the
Secretary of War may make of their
cases.
Each such objector is to be given the
benefit of a full explanation of the law
by a "tactful and considerate officer"
and SO far as possible will be given the
choice of a wide range of activities,
including almost everything except ac-
tual fighting. In accordance with the
Presidents order, the Secretary of War
will revise sentences of court-martiafs
heretofore held of persons who come
within the conscientious DIRECTORS class
and judgments, at variance with the
order will be changed.
