Persistent Rumor of Hinden
bnrg's Death Throughout
West Front
By X W. T. Mason,
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Now York, May 25. A new ' agita
tion to attempt to persuade the allies
to send a military expedition into
Siberia is gathering headway.
It shows evidence of being primary
to a desire to discredit the bolshevik!
and drive them from power. A strong
force sent into Siberia to overpower
the bolsheviki might possibly be suc
cessful in causing a reaction against
Trotsky and Lenine in Moscow and
Petrograd, but there is no certainty as
to this result. The two leaders of the
bolsheviki have successfully withstood
far more serious duvelopments much
nearer home.
Even with Trotsky and Lenine over
thrown, there is no guarantee that
their successors would be able to car
ry Russia back into the war, which
would be the dominant objective of an
allied military movement in Siberia.
On the contrary, even more radical and
less experienced men might secure con
trol of Russia's affairs and Russia in
her perplexity might throw herself un
reservedly into Uermany's arms.
The one basic fact in the situation
is that if Russian people really desire
to ally themselves with Germany, no
army sent into Siberia can prevent
them. Russia is too big and Germany
is too near for that. The Russians are
now anti-German because German mili
tarism has fixed upon a polioy of ruth
less suzerainty over the Slavs. But, if
the allies engaged in a ...Iberian mili
tary demonstration, there is every
reason to expect that Russian agitators
will charge that the western democratic
nations are as imperialistic as Ger
mnnv. :
Under this accusation tne .Russians
may despair of disinterested assistance
from any quarter, and may plunge
permanently into the sphere of Teu
tonic influences The treatment of Rus
sia by the allies is a matter that re
quires the utmost delicacy. It is prop
erly an American war problem,, since
America is in the war to help save the
world for democracy. In the final ad
justments after-the war, if Russia is
found to have been alienated from the
western democracies, the result would
be exploited by Germany mid would
have grave consequences.
Russia cannot be treated like a
naughty child to be spanked into good
behavior. The allies cannot spank
Russia without hurting themselves.
Patience and far sighted vision of the
new Russia that will arise in the
future must be the guiding factors in
handling the situation. There is some
thing sacred about revolution.
Monuments sometimes come to ' be
erected even, to its excesses.
Is Hindenburg Dead.
The persistent rumor of Von Him
denburg'g death, which is being re'
peated by captured Gorman prisoners,
is the strongest evidence that has yet
appeared of a realization by Germany
of the failure of Von Hindenburg's
west front offensive.
Thero is no reason for believing that
Von Hindenburg really is physically in
the gravo, but it is unquestionably true
that the rumjirB to this effect have
originated in the kaiser's army to ex
plain Von Hindenburg's enforced halt
in Flanders and Picardy with his
major objective unattair.ed. Reports of
the deaths of high commanders never
arise spontaneously in a.:y army while
victories are being won. It is the in
stinctive realization among the private
soldiers that matters are going wrong,
which starts such tales. .
Von Hindenburg's long pause while
Yprcs and Amiens remain uncapturcd
and the allied lines continue unbroken,
must have created much pessimism in
the German ranks. It is this pessimism
which now manifests ltaclf in the re
port that Von Hindenburg has sacri
ficed himself to his own machine of
slaughter. The effect of the rumor
must be profound upon the morale of
the German troops. " :
That the kaiser himself realizes the
prevalence of a new spirit of unrest is
amply demonstrated by his own recent
efforts to explain away the break in
the west front fighting.' His new
argument, however, cannot fool any
body. It is but mockery of the vast
numbers of new German dead for tne

Senator LaFoMte
Wrongly Stated Law
Washington, May 22. Charges that
Senator La Follette wrongly interpret
ed the statute regarding the rights or.
passengers on munition-laden ships in
his St. Paul speech, last September,
were today nmde"'by Senator Fall.New
Mexico, at the hearing of tne senate
committee that is considering the La
Follette case.
Referring to the loss of the Lusitania,
the official report of the speech read
today by Gilbert E. Roe, La Follette 's
attorney, is as follows:
"The passengers who proposed to sail
on that vessel were sailing in violation
of a statute of this country that no pas
senger shall sail or travel upon a rail
road train or upon a vessel which car
ries dangerous explosives."
"To my mind that is the most ser
ious portion-of the speech, me cnarge
the senator made is a crave one," Fall
declared.
Otizens Disloyal
- Interfere With Allies
Seattle, Wash., May 24. A new ave
nue lor the apprehension of disloyal
citizens was opened up when the fed
eral jury returned a verdict of guilty
on both counts of true indictment against
w. Sx Alead, charged with violation of
the espionage act, in the federal district
court late yesterday afternoon.
Mead s conviction establishes the un
ity of the United States army with
that of her allies, and rules that the in
terference with militwf operation of al
lied armies is a violation of the United
States espionage act. The convicted man
was found guilty of having made re
marks to Canadian recruits on board
tlua steamship Queen, which sailed
March 21 from San Francisco, calculat
ed to injure the Canadian army. Mead 's
offense carried a maximum penalty for
each count of a fine of $10,000 and 20
years in prison.

Favorable Allied War Outlook
Reflected In Stock Market
Strength
New York, May 18. 1918.
When will it dawn upon the enemy'
that continuing this war is fighting for
a cause already lost; is heading
straight for national suicide; is reap
ing aharvest of the hatred ho has
sowi., and rendering a grave interna
tional boycott more and more inevita
ble! On the western front Germany is'
simply dashing ttaeli against an elas
tic wall, which it cannot break thru.
That wall may, stretch or bend under
pressure, bwt will not break. None of
the Herman objectives have been ac
complished on this mat drive; Paris
has not fallen; the British have not
been separated from the French; nor
driven into the sea; and, if they had
been, it would simply have added to
Germany's list of hoilow victories. To
capture Calais might delay, but could
no decide the issue. There will bo
but one end; and that is complete
victory for the allies when the Ameri
can army teaches full power,, if not
before. Amcricau forces are going
across to France dn increasing num
bers; so that henceforth its real
strength, will i& felt with increasing
inltenwty.
Is there any significance in the re
markable steadiiness of British Con
sola and Anglo-French 5s, two of the
best barometers in the present crisisrf
Desint Germany's most terrific drive
and tho consequent bending of Britkh
tinea, Consols have stood for a loug
leriod alt albout 52, while Anglo-French
5s have slowly risen from about 0 to
nearly 93. Thero has been, no evidence
of inv&nipulation in these securities, for
transactions have boen ngiw and sup
port was neither apparent nor neces
sary. There can bo only one inference
from, the acttion of thes issues at a
time of unusual allied military stress,
and that is tho supreme confidence of
allied victory in high financial circles
at London; a confidence inspired by
clear comprehension of the military sit
uation on tho Western front awell as
the real state of affairs in Germany
There is no doubt that the financial
position of Germany is already des
perate; that the evonomiu situation
there n."aapidly becoming worse, and
that .tho measuro of relief expected in
tha food situation by conquest of Rus
sia is not materializing, while the difT:
ficulties of holding down the newly,
conquered acoile and preventing fur
ther dissensions among the Central ,
Powers are almost insuperable. Mean
while the allies have repeatedly prov

are ready to come in with overwhelm

is rapidly eibbing; her position on the
western, front is at best critical, and
any further failures in the enemy's
objectives are almost sure to let loose,
a sei'ious ouuburnt of disapiwintmeiit
within Germany. These are all factors
that serve to strengthen confidence,
and such hopes are beyond question
an important factor in the hopefulness
displayed in high financial-1 circle.
Tho growing strength and activity"
in the stock market for the past two

of favorable circumstances: (1) The

and government protection, as well as
antiiipation of a liberal ad'vanco in
freight and passenger rates; (7) a
good crop outlook and prospects of
liberal yields of grain and ewtton; (8)
prosperity in the agricultural west and
