LONDON, May 4.-Premier Lloyd
George, who has returned from his visit
to France, in which he attended the
sessions of the Supreme War Council
and went to the front, spoke enthusias-
tically to-day of the American troops.

said Mr.. Lloyd George. "Many more
will pour in steadily during this month.
The French who saw their fighting in
the battle lower down the line said
they were first class fighting material,
full of courage and resource, and all
very keen.
"The Germans have rendered at least
two great services to the Allied cause"
continued the Premier "They have ac-
CELEBRATED the advent of the American
troops and they have made unity of
command at last reality. The French
and British are fighting in close COM
radeship, each with full appreciation
of the qualities of the other"
Have you any message to bring

mier was asked. He replied:

were all very confident. l also saw a
very large number of rcgimental Off
GERS and soldiers, who had actually
been in the fighting line during the last
six weeks of very strenuous work, and
their confidence also was amazing.
II met no pacifsts, no pessimists,
among them. They could not in the

to proceed on the assumption that they
had been defeated and that the only
question of Importance was what was
to blame.
apart from the mishap of the first
few days, which they all recognized,
they were confident that they were
winning, and that they were inflicting
great losses on the enemy. 'When the

ing to death Of four American soldiers
in France. Sentences of two of the
men, Privates Olon Ledoyen and Stan
ley G.. Fishback, were commuted to
three years confinement. Privates
Forrest D. Sebastian and Jess Cook
were granted full pardons.
Sebastian and Cook were convicted Of
sleeping at sentry posts. Ledoyen and
Fishback were sentenced for disobey-
ing orders. They will serve their

President Wilson's action was taken
on the recommendation of Secretary

tion of the case.
In granting full pardon to Sebastian
and Cook the President said he did so
in view of their extreme youth and the
fact that their offence was wholly free
from conscious disregard of duty. Both

Bond selling continued actively lin
many cities up TO late hour tonight,

TO roll up more subscriptions than the
S4,6l5, 100000 of the second Liberty
Loan last October. Messages reaching
ever. that the big subscriptions from
corporations and business interests
which were features of the last hours
OF the second campaign were lacking,
owing to the imminence Of income and
excess profits tax paying time in June,
when more than $4,000, 100000 in war
leyies will have to be paid to the gov
ernment. The success of the campaign,
even without big individual subscrip-
tions. demonstrated that the loan was
popular" and that bonds viii! be widely
distributed among all classes and local

From early this morning to late
hour tonight messages to loan head

and OF thousands Of belated subscrip-

On the basis of popular subscriptions
the third Liberty Loan campaign is

Committee here, last night estimated
that 100000 persons in the New York
district bought bonds of the third is

985,150 subscribers in the district and
2,182,017 in the second.
The New York Districts share of the
total number of subscribers in the first
two campaigns was less than one
fourth. According to this ratio, more
than 100000 persons became hond-
holders in the drive that ended last
night. There were 100000 subscribers
to the first issue and 9,40O,OO0 to the

AMSTERDAM, May 4.--Count Re-

plains that the German press recently
went so far as to admit that the Brit

The count is incensed particularly
because the German papers expressed
satisfaction of the manner in which the
famous German airman, Captain Baron
Won Richthofen, was buried by the Brit
ish, and says:
"We cannot accept these so-called
honors as sincere. 1t is all ADVERTISE
ment. Our enemies forget to tell us

WASHINGTON, May 4.-For the

that the aggregate would be increased

WASHINGTON, May 4.-After bit

of Senators Johnson, of California, and
Frances, of Maryland, who declared
the proposal was a curtailment of free
speech, and tended to increase hyproc-
risy, the Senate to-day passed the
drastic amendments to the espionage

The vote was 4S to &c.
Despite the debate, which had indi-
Gated that the President would find
much opposition In his own party. only
two Democrats, Senators Hardwick, of
Georgia, and Reed, of Missouri, voted
against the bill. Senator Thomas, who
was caustic in his criticisms, was
paired.
Ten Republican Senators voted for
the bill---Scnators Colt, of Rhode ISL

Washington; Lenroot, Of Wisconsin;
McCumber, of North Dakota; Mclean,
of Connecticut; Nelson, of Minnesota;

Enemy Fails to Follow Up
Bombardment on 20
Mile Line
New Thrust Near
KENNEL Fails
Haig Improves Lys Posi-
tions; Petain Holds at
Mt. Rouge

The Germans on Friday night and
again yesterday morning put down
tremendous bombardment on
hills held by the French and Brit
ish southwest of Ypres, and OBJ :
servers expected another furious
assault such as cost the Germans
so heavily last Monday: But the
attack failed to develop under
the hurricane fire from the Anglo
French batteries.
The meaning of this twenty-nile
bombardment is not clear, but. it is
evident that something has gone
wrong with the German leaders
plans and they do not yet feel
equal to the task of resuming the
& offensive.
Meanwhile the French and British
have improved their positions at
several points of the line. The
French made progress in the
Locre sector, between Mounts
Scherpenberg and Rouge, in two
actions Friday night and Satur~
day and took prisoners.
The Allies may have pushed fur
ther forward than is indicated in
Haig's statement, for Berlin an
nounced last night: "French
counter attacks against KENNEL
and Bailleul failed under very
heavy losses" The two points
mentioned were quite a distance
back of the battle line at last re.
ports.
The western side Of the v'1ys salient
was involved in the German bonn
bardment, but the only infantry
action reported there was a Brit
ish advance in the neighborhood of
Mettren.
The British also won ground and
took prisoners and machine guns
in two 'thrusts near Hinges, on
the southerly side of the Lys
salient.
The French official statement yester-
day told of heavy gun fire, espe-
cially near the Avre River, and
patrol actions.
Lloyd George spoke optimistically on
his return from the Allied confer
ence in France. He said: "My
message to the British people is.
BE of good cheer, we are all
right" Later he stated that ali
the Allied commanders believed
they were winning the great
battle.
There are indications of increasing
activity on the Italian front, which
may lead to drive by the Aus
