This could be seen easily a mile
away.
What's that for?" a sergeant
was asked.

They were hurried into the main
restaurant and hidden in a corner
screened of from the public gaze.

A negro waiter threw some menu
cards in front of half a dozen Of
them, before he was told the meal
had already been arranged for. One
OF the rotund prisoners picked up
the card and ordered:
. Bring ham and eggs to us five

away, dat man amt no German,

bout dat chicken we won't have
to send no mo- troops, no mo- troops

The prisoners ate heartily, with
the armed guard surrounding them.
Then they were hustled back to the
train, with seven husky soldiers
bringing up the rear 80.

LOAN
RESPONSE YET
SHORT OF GOAL
President Proclaims April
26 Liberty Day to Stimu-
late Bond Sales,

Serious of mien. Treasury officials
last night renewed their plea for
a more substantial and enthusiastic
response by the people of America
in subscribing to the third liberty
loan, when they found, after COM
putation, that, up to the end of
business yesterday. only thirty-six
per cent of the third liberty loan
had been subscribed, while. two
fifths Of the total number OF SELL
ing days of the campaign have
passed
Near Two billions.
Latest reports from the Treasury
Department shows that the total
subscriptions aggregate $1,OS9.734 -
900. When the completed report for
yesterday is obtained, however, it
is predicted that a total of $780,
10000, and possibly we'll along to
the two billion mark will be
reached
Dissatisfaction with results thus
far obtained during the third lib
erty loan was frankly voiced by
Treasury Department officials who
have cautioned campaign leaders
that they must impress their dis
tricts with the seriousness of the
subscription situation up to date.
On the heels Of this discouraging
report comes a Presidential procla-
nation in which President Wilson
designates Friday. April 26, as Lib
erty Day. and calls upon the people
to assemble to their respective
communities on that day and lib
orally pledge anew their financial
support" OF the government

The President appeals to the ma

to fight for peace-the permanent
peace Of justice"

given personal inspiration when
they watched President Wilson, who

.HOPEHIGHHERE.
FOR GOOD IRISH.
SETTLEMENT.
British Ministry Believes
Now that Prospects
Are Excellent.
2 FACTORS INVOLVED
While Home Rule Is Being
Passed, Conscription
May Become Law.
2 FACTORS INVOLVED

The Irish problem was never in a
fairer way to settlement. This refiec-
tion of the opinion of the British min
istry was made available in Washing
ton yesterday.
The British ministry, which has e -
nounced It's determination to stand or
fall with the home rule bill. bases lis
optimism on these factors:
Factors In Situation.
l. The present government, which
promises home rule bill based on the
majority report of the Irish conve,,-
ton, essentially the same as the home
rule bill of 1914. now embraces the
very elements which most bitterly
fought home rule before the war.
Bonar Law, Lord Curzon and Balfour
are on the side of home rule today.
3 Conscription came before home
rule because of pressing necessity. But
it never could have been determined
by an Irish parliament, for since Glad
stones day every movement for home
rule has reserved to the imperial par
Lament control of the military anh
naval establishment and policy.
5. 1t is believed that home rule will
be a fact before conscription can be
applied in Ireland. As a result 1t IL
relieved that both measures can be
applied without disturbance.
Ulster Doubtful Element.
Ulster remains the only doubtful
element in the whole situation in
the view of British officials here.
They freely discuss the other
phases of the problem. n Ulster
The greatest importance Is at
tached to the declaration of Min
lister Barnes that the Lloyd George
cabinet will stand or fall by the
new Home Rule bill. This means
not only the war cabinet, embrac-
ing Lloyd George, Barnes of the
Labor party. Gen. Smuts. Lord Cur
zon and Austen Chamberlain, but
the entire government, including
Sir Edward Carson and Bonar Law.
BOnar Law Now Home Ruler.
Bonar Law was the fighting head
of the Unionists and Conservatives
who fought the Asquith liberal cab
inet's home rule bill. Lord Curzon
was his prototype in the House of
Lords. Both now stand committed
to home rule.
These developments are attract
ing particular interest in Washing
ton because the Earl of Reading,
British Ambassador and High Com
missioner here. as Sir Rufus Isaacs,
was attorney general in the As
quith cabinet, and one of the men
on whom rested the responsibility
of the then home rule measure. He
refused himself yesterday to inter-
viewers on this subject.
Man-Power Problem.
The necessity for the extension Of
conscription to Ireland arose out of
British political and strictly military
considerations. 1t became vitaIly
necessary to increase the British man
power. Extension of the age limit in
Great Britain from Il to 5O-a tre-
mendous extension-it is pointed out.
required the votes of the opposition
members of Parliament from Great
Britain.
These English. Scottish and Welsh
members, it Is noted, could not be
asked to vote this huge additional

GERMANS SOON
AT STANDSTILL,
EXPERTS AVER
Believe the Allied Lines
Will Continue to Hold
Against Drive.

The French are paying gallant trib-
ute to the fight put up by the British
in Flanders and Picardy. French
officer who went through the rirst
stages of the Picardy battle arrived in
Washington yesterday. He gave the
first personal impressions of the IL
tanic struggle which have reached the
Capital. He said: f%U
The gas was more horrible than
can be conceived. We who came to
the assistance of the British in Picardy
could not believe that men could stand
much less fight in such gas. But they
did it. They did it in this gas and
in storm of heavy explosive and
shrapnel fire. 1t was a worse hell than
a poet ever conceived"
"WabbIInE to n stop"
The Germans are wobbling to a
stop in Flanders just as they did in
Picardy. The British army did fight
like HI The French have come
to their assistance. And the ques-
tion is now. Where will the Boche
break out nextT"
This is the comment OF the Cana
dian veteran of Ypres who yester-
day explained the strength and the
difficulties of the British position
in the great battle.
He sttH believes the situation -
grave. But An officers here are
now Of the opinion thar ths second
stage of the battle of Flanders is
battle OF Picardy ended, with a
1T -
ishing intensity.
Latest reports to British officers
here show:
The British have recaptured wytsch-
aete, due south of Ypres. They are
half way to Bailleul They have not
again recaptured Meteren. These de-
velopments are considered definitely
to determine the British line to the
south Of Ypres in strong positions.
North Of Ypres the Germans launch
ed an attack on the Belgians near
Langemarke. 1t broke down. This
attack is considered to have been de-
signed as the upper jaw of the pin
GERS with which a big British force
was to be nipped of in front Of
Ypres. But the big British force was
withdrawn before the pincers could
possibly close. and it is considered
likely that the gripping surfaces OF
the pincers have been seriously dam
aged both above and below.
A new German attack is develop
ing at LOGON. which is on the south
ern arm Of the wedge thrust toward
HaZebruke. Failing to smash any
thing on the north of this wedge, the
Gercans, as predicted, are now try
ing the south. But the British posi-
tions here have already been tried
and found not wanting. There is i'm
plicit confidence that the Germans
cannot reach Bethune or bend in the
Franco-British lines north of Arras.
