WILSON To STAND
I. BY RUSS To LAST
Will Not See Empire Turned
Over to Huns If It Can
Be Averted-AIIieS
Share View.

Washington, d. c., May 21.-Prcsi-
dent Wilson is set upon a definite cam
paign to thwart Germany's intention to
subjugate Russia--and eventually use
her peoples against the allies.
While there Is scant belief among
American and allied military men that
Russia could organize any effective
fighting force in less han two years, in
creasing confidence is felt here that she
can and must be saved from German
domination.
The presidents address in New York
emphasized that any hope that Ger
many might ave of getting Of peace In
the west at the expense Of Russia or
other slavic peoples in the east, Is
futile.
When the president first took this
stand after the bolshevists drew Russia
out OF the war, his position was not
~concurred in by the other allies. To-
day, however, the presidents attitude Is
regarded by them all as right. And as
Americas military position in France
strengthens--it will not be very long
before there are more American troops
than British in the west-so will her
diplomacy command added attention.
This Is held to signify that the Rus
sian democracy Is to be safeguarded
unless 1t joins in the war on the side
or Germany.
Some foreign diplomats here, how
ever. believ that only a miracle now
can save Russia from the clutches Of
Prussian rule unless allied intervention
is made While chaos reigns in
Russia the Germans are gradually re-
storing law and order and may ulti-
mately gain the favor of the Russian
people, these diplomats fear.
After quieting and winning the Rus
sian people, Germany could compel
them to work In German munitions fac
tories so that many thousands Of Ger
man workers may be released for active
military service.

lowing him. Eight miles away from
he enemy's line, Lufberry was seen
to attack from under the tail, but then
he drew off as If his machine gun had
damned. Two minutes later he at
tackled again from the same position
and Utmost Immediately his machine
burst into flames.
A French aviator this afternoon shot
down an enemy plane back Of the Lune-
vile sector. Two men from the plane
were captured by the Americans.
The Germans came from somewhere
in the rear. 1t is reported, though not
confirmed, that this is the machine
WHICH brought down Major Lufberry.
There has been extraordinary aerial
activity all day in this sector.
Lufberry spent his youth In New
Haven, Conn. His parents died and he
was adopted by a family at Bourges,
france. He ran away at 10 and wan
dered about the world. In Asia he met
the aviator, Moro Pourpe, who trained
him as his assistant. When he followed
Pourpe into the French aviation corps
at the outbreak of the war, Lufberry
found that he was recognized as an
American citizen. He became a lieu
tenant before he was transferred to the
American army. He has IS enemy
planes to his credit.
Lufberry jumped from his machine
when 500 yards above the ground.

respect for red tape and with a hearty
hatred for delay or inaction.
Baked BY Seniority Rule.
For March the change is momentous.
Coming in from his post of artillery
chieftain with General Pershing,
March found that he was baked
by the seniority rule and that Major
Generals who out ranked him, some-
times stood in his path.
Military men Of discernment have
told the United Press that the situa-
lon thus created was impossible.
They predicted March would make
good. but said it could come about only
IL he were given the full generals rank
and the title of chief of staff instead Of
acting"
Man Of Achievement
March's record here is one OF start
ling achievements, despite obstacles.
To him, perhaps more than to any
other single man, is due the credit of
increasing ship facilities SO that the
speeding up Of American troop move
ments could be accomplished. When
he returned from Europe, he called in
war leaders and read the dictum that
there must be more ships. Inspiring
them to great effort ho also cast about
himself to improve the situation.
Appointment Of Major General Goe-
thals chief of transportation supplies
and traffic was an outcome Of his
problem, and between the two men
systems of economy of a were de-
veloped and ships were picked up from
unexpected quarters of the globe.
Cocktails and March are fast friends
and are working in the closest har-
mony.

MANY COMPLAIN OF
TEDDY'S ARTICLES
Postmaster General Burlesor
Says, However, There Is No
Case Against Him.

Washington, d. c., May 20.-In a
statement made public last night Post
master General Burleson said that
Colonel Roosevelt has evaded the issue
in his reply to the demand that he
prove his charge hat the postoffice
department has Disseminated against
Metropolitan magazine, Golfers and
the New York Tribune. Mr.. Burleson
said the department has not proceeded
against either of these publications.
1.-The postoffice department has re-
ceived possibly more complaints from
the public alleging that Mr.. RooSvelt's
articles were in violation of the es-
pionage act than it has against the
Hearst newspapers" Mr.. Burleson said.
"All but two of the articles In the
Hearst papers referred to by Mr..
Roosevelt were published before the
passage of the espionage act (June Is,
1910, and some Of them before our
entry into the war.
"Mr. Hearst. through his vast news
paper circulation n writings along
lines familiar to the public, and Mr..
Roosevelt, with the prestige of an ex-
president of the United States, writing
along entirely different though equally
well known lines, have each said things
whatever the motive, that a casual
reader might believe were in conflict
with the espionage act. But those
whose responsibility it is to enforce the
law do not believe a case could be
made to stand against either Of them

mand the Italian government has APP
pointed a committee to investigate tho
causes of the great reverse Of last year.
The men appointed on the committee
are such as to inspire great confidence,
the chairman being Admiral C%anevaro.
This is an interesting bit of news
for Americans, because Admiral Cane
varo was born on their side of the At
lantic. He is a native of Peru, but his
grandfather was from Genoa. When
still a boy Admiral Canevaro returned
to Italy and recovered his Italian ma
tionality. He has been in turn minister

WAR REVIEW
OF THE DAY
IRepubIican A. p. leased Wirel

King George and David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister, IN
addresses to the British parliament
the former before joint session of the
house of lords and the house OF COM
mons-have declared again that IN the
recent utteranCes of the spokesmen of
the Teutonic allies there can be found
no basis for a peace which will fulfill
the demands of the democratic gov
ernments. The addresses of both the
monarch and His prime minister were
at one with President Wilson's speech
to congress Monday.
Mr.. Lloyd George asserted that Pres
ident Wilson's estimate of the recent
speeches Of Count Won Hertling, the
imperial German chancellor, and Count
Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian foreign
minister. was a correct one. He added
that the British government had not
receded an iota from its announced war
aims.
The British near Epihy and La
Bassee have conducted further incur
sions into the enemy positions, in the
latter region inflicting numerous cas-
ualties. A somewhat ambitious attack
by the Germans in the Verdun sector
was put down by the French with Sc
we're casualties.
Between the Americans and the Ger
mans there is a constant exchange of
artillery fire and the Americans con-
tinue to carry out patroling maneuvers
toward the enemy trenches. The Ger
mans evidently are anxious to guage
the positions occupied by the Ameri-
cans and also to ascertain the number
of men they are employing, for daily
their aircraft are lowering over the
lines taking photographs and making
| observations. Anti-aircraft guns sew
eral times have driven off the enemy.
There is no indication as yet when
the Germans will begin their" much
| heralded general offensive. A German
! captured by the British says that at
| least one big attack is due to begin
some time in March. Meanwhile. large
| concentrations of fresh troops daily are
/ arriving behind the German line.
On the Italian front the Austrians
again have endeavored to test the
| strength of the Italians in the State
! Communi plateu sector. The German
war office asserts that the Austrians
| carried out a most successful attach
here, but the Italian official commune
! cation declares that the Austrian col
umns were torn to pieces by the Italian
artillery.
There was a considerable increase il
the number of aerial attacks delivered
| by entente airmen on German towns il
/ January. In all 81 of these raids wcr,
| made, according to a German officia
statement Karlsruhe, Mannheim. Fried
