With the French Annies iu the
Field, April 21. The French out-Hin

offensive. It is possible today for the
first time to reveal some of the strate
gy which to date has kept the French
fnrc.es on their greatest victory in gen
i-a 1 offensive since the war began.
It was the same strategic superior
ity that enabled the French to force the
Germans' acceptance of the ground
incviously chosen by the French, as
the site of the battle of the Marne. In
the same fashion, the French forced
the Germans to accept the site of the
present battle of the Aisne on ground
carefully selected by the French strat
egists from Hoissons to Auberive.
Ilindenburg's "strategic .( retneat"
wns for the purpose of forcing the
French to accept battte on ground
which the German staff had chosen be
fore the Hindenburg line. That strate
gy has now failed. The French did not
eiiose Ilindenburg's line as the main
fmint of their offensive.
Destruction was useless '
Likewise, all the wanton destruction
in the pathway of the German retreat
all the razing of trees, farms and
.villages done to interfere with the al
lies' advnnee, has now proved utterly
useless as a military step and complete
ly unjustifiable.
The battle of the Aisne is now iu
its sixth day. It will likely continue
for weeks before a decisive moment is
reached, according to the general im
pression among strategists at the front
Along the forty odd miles of fighting
line, there are liree general sections,
where tho topography of the country
makes three natural divisions. To the

Information obtainable here at the
'rout today was that these divisions

with the' possibility always of a great
extension of the front.
Today the battle is raging every
where along the three divisions with
incredible fury. The great struggle sub
divides itself into Humorous smaller
engagements. They may seem meaning
less little or big clashes but every
one of them tends to a .common object

Attacks Continuous
Scarcely an hour of the day or night

an attack or the repulse of a counter

sudden rise to terrific intensity of

Although these battles are furious in
their intensity, only the artillery is

.
IS PROPER SYSTEM
Says Compulsory Service Is
Best and Absolutely
Necessary
BUI VOLUNTEER FORCE
SHOULD BE SENT AT ONCE
Conditions Demand America
Get to the Front
Speedily
New York, April 1. Colonel Boose
velt struck back today at those who
have been using his plan for raising a
division of troops as an aiguineiit
against obligatory service. Iu (he 'first
interview he has granted on his army
plan, accorded tho United Press, he re
iterated strongly his demand for uni
versal obligatory service couple with a
plea that while this compulsory system
was being made operative a volunteer
force be sent abroad.
"I do not want to be put iu the posi
tion of saying to my fellow country
men, 'go to the war,' " he declared. "I
want to be in the position of saying,
'come to the war; I am going with
you.'
"I wish we already had universal
military training in this country. But
we are as Great Britain was when the
war broke out. (She had disregarded
Lord Roberts' advice to have universal
military service. She was very wrong
in doing-that-
England Aided Promptly.
"But it would have been a capital
mistake if when the war broke out, she
had declined to seud a small military
'expedition at once to Belgium and had
refused to accept colunteers from Can
ada and Australia on the plea that she
then intended to do nothing except in
accordance with the theory of obliga
tcrv military service.
"What she ought to have done, was
to send her expeditionary army exactly
as she did; to iise the volunteers exact
ly as she did and instantly to intro
duce the system of obligatory servise
also. This is precisely what we should
do.
"With all my heart I approve of the
president '-s plan for universal obliga
tory service both for the-present war
and as our permanent policy. This plan
will give us the army we must have 18
months hence. But we ought to treat as'
a necessary supplement to this plan the
utilizing of volunteers who would not
be reached under the obligatory plan
who will not and ought not to be ask
ed to volunteer in the regular army or
the national guard; but. who have spe
cial fitness for the war and who will
come forward eagerly to serve if they
are to bo sent abroad at the earliest
possible minute.
"The obligatory service idea is capi
ttnl to make those serve who ought to
do something and we ought not to let it
be twisted into preventing those who
ardently desire to serve from serving
even although they would be exempt
from serving under the obligatory
law."
No ' Hymn of Hate."
The colonel was asked how he felt to
ward Germany.
"I am utterly against any 'hymn of
hate' in this country as agaiust any na
tionality," he exclaimed. "Let us have
our 'hymn of hate' against, that system
of organized tyranny which has made
Germany a menace to the world as a
sequence of itself becoming the evil
genuius of what was best and noblest
in the German character. We are fight
ing in the spirit of Andreas Hofer and
of those Germans who led the fight
against the tyranny of Napoleonic
Frauee when we now rally the free
peoples of the world against tyrannous
militarism which would destroy all free
dom. "Once we have destroyed the tyranny
we shall hail the Germans as our broth
ers and we shall eagerly hope to admit
them to the fellwship of free peoples."
Colonel Roosevelt was here reminded
of the fact that in the past he had dif
fered shardply in matters political with
the president under whom he now sought
to serve-
"Once this country" is at war," he
answered quickly, emphasizing his stac-
atto utterances with clenched rists, "L
recoenize no partisanship and no dis
tinction of parties. Let us U stand
shoulder to shoulder without the slight
est reeard to ordinary partisan consid
erations without the slightest regard
to our differences on internal subjects

COUNCIL IS WILLING

Fears of Government Engi

Other Business
There will soon be a comfort station
ou the court house lawn at tho ecorner
of High and State streets. At the
special meeting of the city council last
night the special committee having this
matter in charge was authorized to go
ahead v.ith the work in conjunction
with the Marion coitity court, which
will bear half of the expense.
It is estimated that the cost of con
struction will be about $3500. After it
is constructed it devolves on the city
to maintain it. This sum does not in
clude adjusting the State street sewer
nor the heating of the station.
At the meeting last night the coun
cil, by resolution, approved of the plans
of Marion and Polk counties to build
a bridge across the Willamette river at
the foot of Center street. This was
the prime object of the called meeting,
and was done by Mayor Keyes at the
request of the highway commission
and the Marion county court. On ac
count of the fact that the Willamette
rivler is a navigable stream, the ap
proval of the council was necessary be

government engineers at.vr- Portland.
This matter is being attended to today
by the members of the highway commission-
Just as soon as tho govern

Washington, April 21. Adiuinistra-;
tion forces and selective' conscription
advocates won their first real legisla
tive skirmish at the capitol this after
noon when a filibuster that was bit
terly waged for more than an hour was
finally squelched.
Plans o'i leaders to rush the army bill
through to a vote ahead of everything
else proceeded after Chairman Chamber
lain of the military committee forcod a
vote to take up the army measure.
Only five senators Thomas, LnFolI
ette, Gronna, Hiram Johnson and Fern
aid voted against Chamberlain.
Tho army bill provides for getting the
000,000 men needed to raise regular
army and national guard to their war
strength through volunteers and for get
ting an army of 1,000,000 men by selec
tive draft.
Is Chamberlain's BUI.
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the
military affairs committee, piloted the
bill. He explained the first provision
would authorizo both the regular army
and national guard raised to war
strength -a total of about '20,000 of
ficers and 014,730 enlisted men.
"This is the largest volunteer force
ever called for in the United States,"
said Chamberlain.
"At the same time, 500,000 men ber
tween the ages of 18 and 25 would be
immediately selected and put into train
ing. Another 500,000 would be selected
later.
"Between those ages comparatively1
few men have contracted family ties,"
he continued. "It would entail small
expense to the government to care for
dependents."
The selective draft will make avail
able about 6,000,000 men. Of this vast
army about 3,500,000 would be fit physically-
"Only about, one-half of that number
would bo taken and for that reason wc
are resorting to 'selective draft,' "
Chamberlain said.
In the meantime, tho house military
committee finally and formally report
ed out the army general staff bill, so
modified as to shift responsibility for
use of the selective draft system upon
President Wilson, unless he should con
sent to try out the volunteer system
first.
Chairman Dent, volunteer proponent,
and Representative Kahn, Californit,
conscription advocate, ranking republi
can member of the military committee,
completed their respective majority and
minority reports. Dent's report carries
an appropriation of $3,000,000,
Kahn's report, signed by eight mem
bers of the committee, four of whom
have seen military service, insists on
the original general staff bill.
A letter from Secretary Baker to the
military committee a few days ago, in
which Baker pleaded with the commit
tee to report out a strict selective draft
bill, was published with the report.
Minority Report.
The minority report declares that
"the majority of the committee have
seen fit to set -their own views on the
raising of the proper military forces for
the successful conduct of the war above
the views of the trained military ex
perts of the government. In this 'great
crisis, we deem it to be our patriotic,
duty in this manner of increasing tern-
porarily establishment of the United
Slates to follow the counsel of the com-
mander-in-chicf of our army and his ex-
pert advisers.
"Wc desire to follow the plan which
they have laid down for us in this man-
ner, rather than follow any plan which
wc ourselves might devise. "
The report emphasizes the diffeculties
of obtaining volunteers in the Civil war
and in the present war. It would take
about two ytars, the report states, to
raise the men needed if the present rate
under the volunteer system should con-
tinue.
Volunteer System.
"The volunteer system would always
carry in its train nn element of nncer-
tainty," the report said. "It is our
judgment that the volunteer system is
not a fair one. It ts neither equitable
nor democratic. In this republic every
American should esteem it an honor to
bear his share of the country' burden.
That can only be done under the prin-
ciple of universal obligation to serve.
In our opinion, it is for the nation, not
jthe individual, to determine what scrv
ice the citizeu should bear."

Thinks Presence f Amer
icans Would Have Stimu- r
fating Effect
By Ed L. Keen.
(United Press staff correspondent.)
London, April 21. Winston Churchill,
former first lord of the admiralty, now
himself in khaki, wants an American
expeditionary force aent to France as
soon as possible simply for the effect
tho presence of Americans would have
ou the allied forces.
"Of course, I can express only my
personal opiuii n," ho said to the Unit
ed Press today, ' ' but it seems to me cer
tain that the presenoe of even a sinirie
American division on the battle fields
of Franco or Flanders this year would
exercise influence and afford encour
agement out of all proportion to tho ac
tual number of men employed.
"It was always represented to us that
the timely arrival of even a small force
of British troops in France would stim
ulate and cheer tho heart of every
French soldier.
"As it turned out, our small armyi
achieved very great material results in
addition to its moral effect. Perhaps
it played a decisive part in the supreme
event of the opening phase of the war.
But now, when the terrible weight and
burden of this struggle has pressed for
nearly three years upon the French, Bri
tish and Belgian troops, the arrival of
the American flag and the American
uniform on the actual line of battle
would be tho veritable signal of ap
proaching deliverance and of vietory
and would kindle joy and enthusiasm in
every heart."

IU STRIKE
Riots Reported in Several
Cities, and Attempts to
Bum Buildings
PROMISE OF MORE FOOD
FAILS TO MOVE STRIKERS
Serious Rioting Reported at
Some of Great Krupp
Faetorbs
Amsterdam, April 21. Twenty thou
sand munitions workers in Berlin and
Spandau are out on a general strike to
day in protest against reduction of the
bread ration, according to latest infor
mation from Germany.
Scores of conflicting rumors as to tho
strike including a number of reports
of great violence accomiianyine riots in
'various cities reached here today.
A great force or strikers is mud t
have revolted at Magdeburg and tried
to burn public buildings.
According to this report, troops were
called out to restore order and in
clashes with the rioters had killed and ;
wounded several, the city now being in
a state of siege.
Reports from Dnssoldorf declared a
meeting of strike delegates in Berlin,
had rejected a proposition advanced by
some ot their leaders, demaiding that
the German government immediately re
nounce any intention of annexation in
the war, abolish compulsory service and
instituto at once a general equal fran
chise system.
Promises Ineffectual.
-Not even the promises of an increase
in the allowance of moat and potatoes .
has been sufficient to offset tho curtail
ment of breed supplies, according to
the' German reports. Workers apar
cntly have seized upon this as not only
a logical time in which to exproas thris
demand for more food and mora equit
able distribution by the government,
but to press demands for more pay nud
reduction in hours.
That Germany's leaders recognize the
seriousness of the general strike, and a '
hint that it may be more grave than re
ports here have indicated, was evi- '
denccd today in art appeal which Field -Marshal
Von Hindcnburg was said to
have dispatched to General Groener,
chief of the munitions branch, urging'
that "every strike, however small, may ;
be tho means of an unjustifiable weak- ,
cninl of our defensive forces, and in an
inexcusable crime against tho fighting
forces, especially the men in the trench- '
es, who bleed in consequence."
Extraordinary efforts are apparently :
being made by the German government
to restore order and to suppress news of
the internal r'ttuatinn. Two days ago the -government
let it be known through of
ficial news channels that tho entire
strike "was settled."
Strike Widespread.
Apparently recognizing the funda
mental causa 'for the strike lies in in
equitable distribution of tho food, the
German government is conducting the
most searching investigation to unearth
hidden stores of food. Berlin advices
today related a house to house canvass
ordered by the food dictator, which, it.
was said, had already revealed "an
amazing quantity" of food hidden
away.
Summarizing rumors, reports and
known facts, reaching here from all
sources, it appeared today that the gen
eral strike had spread somewhat as fol
lows: Berlin Several thousand men still
out ; efforts being made to arbitrate,
but Chancellor Hollweg declined to. act
as umpire.
Magdeburg (rave noting reported;
10,001) strikers demanding violence.
(Magdeburg contains one of the great
Krupp factories the machine shop
principally).
Essen Workers at Krupps plant said
to have joined tho strike.
Leipsig Several thousand strikers
out; number of street demonstrations
occurred, but no violence. Munitions
plants not believed to be affected.

Clackamas county 2 years ago, died at.
