RULE FOR
IRELAND 1$ AIDED
Washington. The Irish home ruls
question has been discussed at the
conferences between members of the
British commission and American gov
ernment officials. The subject is a
most delicate one and the United
States has no intention of Beeking to
surest even informally an opinion
on the conduct of Great Britain's af
fairs. However, the subject has arisen
! and American officials have frankly
told members of the British commis
eion that a strong element in the
United Slates believes that real friend
ship between the two nations would
be greatly strengthened by a satis
factory settlement of the Irish prob
lem. It is generally accepted that the
present offers a favorable opportunity
for settling the question. The inter
est in it here is great, not only be
cause of the large number of citizens
of Irish birth or descent, but because
of the strong feeling that no nation
with which the United' States Is Join
ing forces should have unsettled a
question involving the right of self-government.
London. Id fighting that for Inten
sity and separation equated any of tk
conflicts ot two and a bfrlf years at
the great war, British forces had ap
parently turned the first ot Germany's
great defense lines of the famous
"Hlndenburg front" and part ot Oppy,
pivotal point of this defense sector,
was in British hands. The towa lies
six miles northeast of Arras. All of
Arleux, a mile north of Oppy, bad
been taken.
Both positions were centers for Ger
man counter attacks that for shear
violence surpassed any recent fight
ing on the western front
The British thrust is toward Doual,
northern pivot point ot the Hlndaa
burg line. To stop It, Field Marshal
I Hindenburg Is recklessly throwing
thousands of his troopers In massed
attack. Every word from the froat
emphasized the enormous total of th
German losses.
Dispatches now Indicate that Ger
many is opposing the Franco-British
advance with forces superior to the
attacking armies. And still these di
visions do no more than slow up the
advance. It Is evident that the whole
strength of the French and British at
tacking armies was being made ready
for another bolt to be hurled at the
German line In a resumption of the
concerted offeislve.
AMERICAN WAR BRIEFS

April was 40,258.

Amsterdam, via London. Joseph
Friedrlch Naunann, formerly a Con
servative member of the reichstag,
lecturing on the "Influence of the
War on Population," said In part:
"Until now the war has caused a
loss of 1,300,000 dead. This, together
with the decrease in births, gives a
reduction of 3,800,000. The surplus of
females has increased from 800.000 to
M far more than 2,000,000."
RAID ON STOCK -MARKET
PLANNED
New York. Intention to destroy J,
P. Morgan's office, tap telegraph
trunk lines between Chicago, Wash
ington and New York, send out falsa
reports of President Wilson's assas
sination and U-boat raids on the At
lantic coast, and then disrupt wires
to prevent denial, all to affect the
stock market for speculative benefit,
was the ambitious plot confessed, the
police declare, by Wolf Hirscb. sad
George Meyringer, two Germans ar
rested and charged with having a pic
ric acid bomb In their possession. The
men were employed at Roosevelt hos

ONLY 6 SUBMARINES LOST
German Naval Chief Says England
Will Ask for Peace.
Amsterdam, via London. Accord
ing to the statement regarding sub
marine warfare made to the reichstag
main committee by Vice Admiral voa
Capelle, minister of the navy, the Ger
mans in the first two months ot en
restricted submarine operations lest
only six U-boats, a number which la
the same period was surpassed sever
al times by new construction.
Dwelling on the submarine cam
paign, the admiral said neither the
British nor their allies dare publish
the names and tonnages ot ships sunk.
The minister expressed the opinion
that the day was not far off when
Great Britain must declare her readi
ness to enter Into peace negotiations.
Existence of France, Britain, Menaced
Washington. Secretary Lane told
the governors conferring here with
the council of national defense that
the federal government had heard
400,000 tons of shipping had been sunk

rines. The destruction. Secretary j
Lane said, was not only threatening
the existence of England and France, '
but was alarming the United States. '

at 7,000,000.

first two months of unrestricted sub
marine warfare more than 1,(00.000
tons of shipping was sunk by the Ger
mans, Dr, Karl Helfferieh, German
secretary of the interior, told the
Reichstag main committee. He as
serted that the submarine campaign
was proving a great success.
"From our figures one may estimate
the total tonnage still available tor
British trade at 7,000,000 to 10.000.e00.
It is clear the British merchant fleet
cannot long bear sinking at the pres
ent rate. Adequate substitutions by
new construction are impossible."
