RADICAL FORCES BALKED SlaTonlc Pnolicatlons Printed In TTnited States Spread Appeal for Separate Peace Real Dan ger In Plots Is Seen. CHICAGO, April 22. (Special. The United States secret service has within the last few days brought to light a gigantic German intrigue intended to disrupt the anti-German entente through the agency of Russo-Ameri-cans. An open propaganda In favor of separate peace for Russia has been launched In American newspapers printed in the Russian language. Advantage is being taken of the po litical amnesty granted b; the revolu tionary government in Petrosrad to create a powerful peace sentiment In Russian official circles through the In fluence of revolutionists and radicals who may now return to their old homes without fear of the bureaucracy. German Machinery Active. It Is charged by men who attended revolutionists' meetings recently held in various parts of this country, and who read the Russian publications, that with the news of the revolution the machinery of the German agents in the United States started at full blast' As soon as the announcement was made by the Russian government that political exiles could return home the secret work for the German propa gandists became evident among the Russian refugees In this and other cities, and also among peoples of other nationalities who came here from Rus sia: ' By meetings, pamphlets and news papers a vigorous propaganda was in stituted setting forth that with the Czar and his gvernment in the scrap heap the Russian people should end war without delay. American Entry Criticised. Russian publications criticised the entrance of the United States into the war and openly published peace ap peals. These and other newspapers have been widely circulated among the Russian-speaking people of America. Plans were launched in Chicago and t elsewhere to raise funds to help Rus sian radicals bring . about separate peace with Germany. Meetings are being held by various groups of the revolutionists in this city. One of the most important of these was held three days ago in the Hotel Sherman. The plan to raise funds to help the extreme radicals In-Russia in their efforts in behalf of a separate peace with Germany and Austria came to the surface and forced an issue at this meeting. Peace Move Thirarted. Advocates of the separate peace with Russia and those who tried to author ize and launch the raising of funds to help that cause on the other side of the ocean were routed by those who stand by the plan of the United States and who are opposed to causing the Rus sian government to break away from the alliance. The meeting became so heated that the pro-German sympa thizers withdrew, although some of them vowed that their programme would carry in the end, and that some who were going to Russia from this country would assist in the carrying out of that plan. "The propaganda among the people from Russia is more dangerous than plots to blow up the ammunition plants," said one of the Russian lead ers who is in touch with the situation. "These revolutionists and radicals may now be divided into three groups. One group is that which has not been mis led by the German system In this coun try when they came here. They are for this country. These want no separate peace, for that would disgrace the Rus sian nation forever. "Then, there are two other kinds; agents of the German government, who play the big game for the Kaiser's benefit, and the poor, misled revolu tionists who become organized on ar rival here under pro-German socialistic and other auspices. They have become from principle pro-Germans in this war.

ARMY CONGRESS Oi Russian Private Is Elected to Vice-Presidency. Military Power of Germany la Not Sufficiently Broken to Induce Peace, Asserts Earl. LONDON, April 22. The military sit nation at the preseilt moment la dis tinctly encouraging to the entente allies, declared Earl Curzon, member of the War Council, in an address at Derby today. The government leader in the House of Lords said that he did not wish his hearers to go away with- the Idea that the end had come Just yet, but there was no doubt that the operations during the last fortnight on Drench soil constituted a very consid erable military victory. These operations have shown the won derful superiority of the British artil lery, which had fired 4,000,000 rounds of ammunition into the ranks of the r Germans. Earl Curzon said that in his opinion the military power of Germany was not sufficiently broken to Induce her to accept any terms which the allies might consider reasonable.

A private soldier named Sorokoletoff was elected vice-president. He was re ceived with a storm of cheers. M. Rodzianko said he was glad to say that no return to the past was possible. Such, he said, was the settled determination of the Russian people. 'Do not forget," the President of the Duma declared, "that great liberty en tails great obligations toward the country. Do not forget that the coun try is in danger. I know now that the western front is Indestructible and its fighting power, and I will joyfully tell this to the people behind the lines."

ROSEBTTRG, Or., April 22. (Special.) C. E. Coe, superintendent of t he Roseburg Indian offices, will leave here next week for Marshfield to attend a council of the Coos Bay Indians. The conference has been called primarily for the purpose of selecting a delegate to represent the Indians in their fight for National legislation which will compensate them for lands surrendered to the United States Government in the year 1855. According to the Coos Bay treaty which was executed while Oregon was still a territory, the Indians were to receive a reservation containing 900,000 acres of land In lieu of the 5,000,000 acres which they surrendered to the Government. GERMAN FEARS TRADE LOSS EARLY PEACE-FORECAST GERMAN PEOPLE CALLED OTT FIGHT A LITTLE LONGER. TO Press Urges State Assistance Shipowners for Recovery. for AMSTERDAM, via London, April 22. The Wehr Zeitung, of Bremen, pleads for state assistance for ship owners, without which it considers the recovery of Germany's export trade will be im possible. , Professor Franz Eulenburg, of Leip zig University, publishes a treatise on world economics in which he professes a disbelief in the theory that the United fetates, Russia and Great Britain will develop into huge self-contained and economically self-supporting states. He says the world necessarily will need German products and agitates for a commercial policy obtaining an open door for Germany in the form of a most favored nation treatment. America Said to Have Entered War to Save Allies From Certain Defeat and to Protect Investment. AMSTERDAM, via London, April 22. An appeal to the German people not to give tn for the sake of a mouthful of bread, but "to hold out only a little while longer" is printed In the Nord deutsche Aligemelne Zeitung. "America found out." says the state ment, "that England will be beaten and she entered the war to save what she could of the money, put into the muni tion business. ' Shall we let America reap the profits? Set your teeth and it will soon be over. Remember all is at stake." The Association of Christian Trade Unions of Berlin in a manifesto cou ples an affirmation of loyalty to the German Emperor and empire with a strong condemnation of strikes, which it says, "do not provide a single gram more bread and the enemy, like a drowning man, Is grasping at the straw, eagerly watching for the least sign of disunion in Germany." "Therefore," says the manifesto, "all must stand pat." i I. W. W. ASSAILED BY MOB Shooting of Soldier Angers Com rades at Spokane. SPOKANE, Wash., April 22.

F. Watt. The girls have started drilling under Miss Georgia Prather, of the .Hood River High School faculty. I A class in automobile repajring and driving, under the instruction of F. A. McDaniels, is doing remarkable work. Three lots, with free water for irri gation, have been given the girls by Mrs. Henry Steed. The girls expect to secure other lots for garden work. In Pittsburg the janitors of some of the high buildings raise chickens on the roof. LONDON, April 22. The first and most Important duty of the American people to their allies la to economize on foodatuffs. This Is the appeal of Herbert C. Hoover, recently appointed head of the American Food Board. 'it we do not do It." he. declared to the Associated Press, "we stand a grave chance of losing the war, because our allies cannot fight without food. Our enemies are calculating that America will fail in this and our allies will need to give in. America can upset these calculations." Mr. Hoover's observations were mari after three weeks of consultation with memDers of the British, French and Italian Cabinets. He also investigated the food and shipping situation and Plans tor American co-operation. The net result he arrived at was that be tween now and the next harvest It will require a supreme effort by the Ameri can people. "I feel it my duty to emphasize, Mr. Hoover continued, "that the food situa tion is one of the utmost gravity which, unless it is solved, may possibly result tn the collapse of everything we hold dear in civilization. Allied Stocks Insufficient. "The total stock of food today avail able in the allied world is simply not sufficient to last until September if America continues it present rata of consumption. "England, France and Italy are re ducirg consumption by drastic steps, but even with all this reduction they must have from us "during the next three months more than twice as much food as we should have exported nor mally or than we can send if we con sume as usual. "The only hope of providing the de ficiency is by the elimination of waste and actual and rigorous self-sacrifice on the part of the American people. -"To carry the allies- over until the next harvest we must reduce our wheat consumption 30 per cent. This means that every man, woman and child must forego at least one loaf of wheat bread a week and cat something else 6r less generally. "More than 70 per cent of American homes are places of thrift, economy and a clean plate. In the remaining 30 per cent no one can deny that there is profligate extravagance and waste. Temperance In entertainment, food aid drink is likely to become no longer an ethical question among this class, but a grim imposition of war. World Starvation Possible. "We must also plant everything everywhere it will grow or next year this time the food problem will be ab solutely unsolvable and the world will fae absolute starvation. I do not believe there will be any necessity rigidly to ration the American people, for if democracy Is of any value a spiritual and political faitn, the personal initiative and willingness to volunteer self-sacrifice of every mem ber of the greatest democracy in the world will be ample to solve the problem. During the past fortnight we have. with the collaboration of the American Ambassadors in Europe,' laid the groundwork for lnter-allied co-operation in handling and transporting the vast food supplies required from America, which will tend to ameliorate the rise in prices. I have proposed a plan by which the allies can consolidate' undtr one hand the whole purchasing of staple foodstuffs from our market and not only will competitive bidding be abolished, but by co-operation (n our side we can arrange a proper bal ance between the rights of producers and consumers. FLAGS GREET BALFOUh (Continued From First Pase.) Massachusetts avenue the crowds burst Into cheering and applause, to which Mr. Balfour and tHe others responded by bowing right and left. The route lay up Massachusetts avenue to Six- teenth street, the stately thoroughfare for some years known officially as "Avenue of the Presidents." to the palatial MacVeagli homestead Just be yond the crest of a hill and within a few hundred yards of the white French, Embassy building. Passing the latter the visitors were greeted by Ambassador Jusserand. who with Madame Jesserand and the full staff, of the Embassy, saluted them from" the portico over the entrance. The salute was returned by the entire party. House Is Under Guard. A detachment or regular soldiers will remain on guard constantly around the MacVeagb. residence during the stay of Mr. Balfour. Tents for their use have been pitched near the house. A police captain, who is a native of England, will be in charge of the police detail. Most of the members of Mr. Balfour's party left the house soon after their ar rival, some going for automobile rides about the city. Others called at the British Embassy. They said Mr. Bal four was tired and would rest as much as possible until tomorrow. Trip Made on Cruiser. With the Balfour party safely In Washington, the State Department has permitted publication of the details of the long trip which was surrounded with secrecy and precautions never be fore equaled in this country. The British commissioners stole se cretly away from England April 11 on a fast cruiser protected in every pos sible way from German -spies who might have got out word to lurking submarines. The voyage was entirely uneventful, however, and the party ar rived at Halifax Friday. Crossing to St. John, a special train took them to the little Canadian - town of McAdam, Just across the International bridge which Werner Horn, a former German officer, attempted to blov up. Satur day the party arrived at the frontier town of Vanceboro, where the Ameri can reception committee welcomed them to American soiL The various members of the commis sion. Including Mr. Balfour himself, have brought with them much of the atmosphere of quiet suffering and pain that has rffllcted England during the last two and a half years. Atmosphere of Calm Striking;. "Even in the few hours we have been in the. United States," Mr. Balfour said, "we have been struck with the atmos phere of calm and peacefulness which natural'y prevails. We feel ourselves far removed here from the stress and horror that Germany has thrust on Europe, much as many of our people felt distant from France in the early days of the war. The United States, fortunately, probably will not experi ence the human losses that France for so long, and ourselves during the past months, have experienced. "Nevertheless," Mr: Balfour added, "I doubt if you can foresee what funda mental changes the war will bring into your ordinary life. We, in England, look back with amazement at the vital changes during our past 30 months of mobilization, and Imagine that many of the changes we have gone through, so salutary even for themselves alone, will be repeated here." , Germany Due for Surprise. Mr. Balfour, while unwilling to spec ulate on what form American partici pation In the war might take, said he had no doubt that America's efforts would astonish the world, particularly Germany. He indicated that it was his opinion that if Germany had fore seen how fully the United States would enter the struggle she would not have precipitated war between the two coun tries. More and more It has become evident that the -commission, aside from any technical aid it may render to this country, has come over for a general and broad understanding of the whole American point of view, without as yet having outlined a specific pro gramme In its own mind. ' It is thought probable, therefore, that the direction the conferences are to take will be given largely by President Wilson and Secretary Lansing, and that the British delegates will gladly wel come any lead that Is given them. In that way, tt is thought, they best can obtain the American viewpoint and harmonize any allied policies that seem inconsistent with Americas ideas. TERAUGH1 HULE IS SAFE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT PARTY " HAS LEAD OF 53 SEATS. Premier Expected to Harmonise Af fairs In China and Reiterate Full Support of. Entente. .TOKIO, April 22. More complete re turns in the Parliamentary elections confirm the earlier report that the Government was victorious. The result Is estimated as follows: Government 217 seats: opposition 164. The constitutionalists lost many seats. The leaders of this party are astounded by the reverse, and attribute (he power of the government to in difference of the voters to the consti tutional issue. The seats won by the various parties are here shown: Pro-Government Selyu-Kai, 167. Terauchi Independents 50; total 217. Opposition Constitutionalists 120 Kohumin-To 34, Independents 10; to tal 164. The Japan Times predicts that at the session of the Diet In June, Premier Count Terauchi will reaffirm the for eign policies of the Administration as outlined to the Associated Press last October. These include efforts to sol idify China's friendship by abstaining from interference in the internal af fairs of China, and the declaration that the present time is inopportune to at tempt to solve unsettled problems with the United States. The Count is ex pected again to emphasize Japan's whole-hearted support of the entente nations in the war. Government newspapers interpret the Government's victory as confidence of the nation in the leadership of Terau-cni. COMMISSIONS TO GOME RESERVE CORPS OFFICERS TO BE CALLED IX DTJWJ TIME.

STORES TO CARRY SUPPLY Even Traveling Slen Want to Have Some of Issue as Sideline to Offer Customers AVorkers Expected to Invest. WASHINGTON. April 22. A Nation wide advertising campaign of extraor dinary proportions haa been decided upon by Secretary McAdoo as the most effective means of disposing quickly of the $5,000,000,000 bond issue soon to be offered to the puDlic. So many partlotic offers of aid have poured into the Treasury Department recently that practically every method of publicity will be at the Government's disposal without charge. Newspapers, magazines, streetcar ad vertisements, even the bill boards, soon may be summoning every American to do his duty by subscribing. Large ad vertising agencies have orrered ineir service, l're,e of cost, in writing the ad vertisements. Many newspapers have opened their advertising columns with no charge. Officials have welcomed such offers and expect others. There will be no general campaign of paid advertising, it was authoritatively said tonight, nor the incurrence of any items of expense whatever that are not absolutely es sential, the Administration's desire being that the Issue may be placed at the least possible coat. 5,000,000 to Cover Expenses. Five million dollars will be available for all Items of expenses, including the high-priced distinctive paper upon which the bonds will be engraved and the mechanical and clerical expenses incidental to their Issue. A force of aiDroximately 1000 persons will be added to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, already working night and day to meet the present heavy demands of the Government, and at least 200 clerks will- be employed In the clerical work incidental to the big bond issue. This force will be obtained through the civil service. The appropriation of 15,000,000 is one tenth of one per cent of the issue. For meeting the expenses of Issuing the S200.000.000 bonds first authorized in the war with Spain, an appropriation of one-fifth of one per cent was con sumed. Stores to Sell Bonds. Offers of assistance have been re ceived from many unexpected sources. Department stores have offered, not only to accept the subscriptions, but to solicit them and, in some cases, to make subscriptions easier for their customers by buying bonds outright and accept ing Installment payments for them. Ex press companies have offered the serv ice of their money order departments free. Chains of stores dealing In vari ous commodities have asked if they might not be authorized to receive sub scriptions. - Patriotic societies, civic organiza tions, fraternities and hundreds of in dividuals have urged tho department to permit them to conduct an active selling campaign. The chief burden of distribution will devolve upon the banks and It is likely that all financial institutions with good standing which apply will be authorized to receive sub scriptions. Worker May Also Invest. There probably will be at least 150.000 places In the United States where bonds may be purchased. These Include backs. state and National, trust companies and private institutions, internal reve nue offices, customs-houses ana tne long list of poBtoff ices. Every Govern mental agency of tax collection prob ably will be authorized to accept sub scriptions and similar authority may be given to many private enterprises of repute. Large employers of labor have sig nified their Intention of urging their employes who can to - invest in the bonds. In some instances fraternal organizations have decided to use their machinery as clearing-houses for sub scriptions from members. Messages have been received from traveling men who want to do their bit toward help ing by selling the bonds as a side line. Indications are that the big Issue may be offered to the public by June 1 and that the interim will be devoted largely to advertising. Should one sug gestion beforj the department be adopted, as seems likely, subscribers will have 30 days in which to make final payments. This would make the proceeds available for the Government July 1. NAVY ENLISTMENTS SLOW In Central Western Division Only 44 50 of 9800 Wanted, Obtained. CHICAGO. April 22.
