PROPOSES TO REMOVE CREEL
Senator Penrose Makes Sensational
Charges In Debate Over the
Sedition Bill.

Washington, April Ex-senator Pen
rose of Pennsylvania caused a sensa-
ton in the senate debate over the
sedition bill by charging that there
are departments in Washington con-
tanning very large number of en-
ployees Of pro-German leanings and
authors of reasonable articles" He
proposed an amendment to remove
from Office any government employee
uttering disloyal sentiments.
II do not see why we should permit
men like Mr.. Creel, for instance. whose
scurrilous and defamatory utterances
on the Constitution of the United
States were read in this body the 9th
er day, to be holding an office and
publishing a publicity chronicle when
he is smeared all over with treason. /"

not at liberty to tell the toll the fleet
has taken of German submarines, the

PLAN, SAYS LL0YD-GE
mier to Garry Out New Man.
Power Bill.

London, April 1O.-Uproar was
caused by the nationalists in the house
of commons on Tuesday when Premier
Lloyd-George announced in his man
power bill speech that it was proposed
to extend CONSUMPTION to Ireland.
Members of the Irish party chal-
lenged the prime minister to carry
out the government plans, one call
ing:
Come across and get u.s."
Lloyd George also paid tribute to
America, declaring that its interven-
ton might be the decisive factor in
the struggle, which he expected to
go six or eight months more, now that
the most critical moment of the war
had been entered, although United
States troops had not gone into the
clash as early as was expected.
1t was his statement as to Ireland,
however, which attracted the main
attention. He promised that the man.
power act would be extended to the
Emerald isle, under the same condi-
lions as to Great Britain, and that a
measure of self-government for Ireland
would be introduced, admitting that
the military age would be extended.
when an emergency has arisen,
Lloyd-George said, (which makes it
necessary to put men of fifty and boys
Of eighteen into the fight for liberty, it
it not possible to exclude Ireland from
CONSUMPTION by a parliament in which
Ireland is represented, and which
committed the country to the war
without a dissenting voice"
The premier announced he hoped
to get the bill through all its stages
this week. as it was a matter of
urgency.

WILSON ACCEPTS
FOES CHALLENGE

Strength in War.

Executive In Speech at Baltimore Says
Germany Answered Offer of Just
Peace by Crushing
Russians.

Baltimore, Nd, April 8.-President

minion plans of Germany are wiped
from the earth.
Citing the answers of the central
powers to his offers of way to just
peace-answers spelled In the invasion
of Russia and the crushing of the
Slavs-he said:
Il am ready, ready still, ready even
now, to discuss a fair and just and
honest peace at any time that it is sim
cerely proposed, peace in which the
strong and the weak shall fare alike.
But the answer, when proposed such
a peace, came from the German COM
manders in Russia, and l cannot mis-
take the meaning of the answer.
There is but one response possible
from us. Force, force to the utmost,
force without stint or limit, the right
eous and triumphant force which shall
make right the law of the world and
cast every selfish dominion down in
the dust"

thus1asm, patriotism, whoIehearted-

in here as he spoke showed that he
knew and spoke the truth.

demonstration on his arrival at the
Fifth regiment armory, which was
packed with about $4,000 persons.
Cheer Acceptance of Challenge.

course in Russia is cheap triumph.
When the president declared that he

several minutes.
