BRITISH LEADERS
SEE PEACE DAWN
IN NEW MOVES
Hollweg'S and Asquitli's
Addresses Regarded
t ' .- With Optimism
TOTAtaAL IttJIN FEARED
LONDON, April IB,
Two Weakly newspapers, tho Economist
anel tRo Nation, both of which have shown
a. tendency favorable to a compromise of
the War1, believe that tho recent speech
or Premier Asqulth smooths n way toward
peace.
Tho eaitor of the Fconomtst Is Francis
"W. HlrsTi (he flnanclal expert, who has
taken an extremely pessimistic view of
the Var effects on Eurbpean finances.
The Economist Bay a!
"If all the reasonable hopes of new
territory entertained by all tho bel
ligerents could be realized few persons
Would be bold enough to nay that realiza
tion of these hopes would compensate for
tho agoney and misery, present nnd to
come, of six months' further prolongation
of the war.
"Nor must It be forgotten that every
month that passes Increases the risk
of public Insolvency on tho Continent,
which would assuredly plunge thousands
of firms Into bankruptcy and Indefinitely
postpone commencement of economies of
recovery.,
The danger of poputar revolutions as
a result of tho war was foreseen by tho
Foreign Minister, Sir Kdward Grey. It
Is my duty of statesmanship to seo
whether a settlement Is possible before
new masquo of anarchy supervenes.
"Undoubtedly Mr. Asquitli's speech has
brought the possibility of a settlement
near, If the German people and the Ger
man Government aro, as neutral obsorvcrs
declare, already In the mood to return to
the comity of nations."
The Nation, which as the organ of tho
Advanced Liberals has opposed talk of re
venge and tho permanent division of
Europo Into two alliances, says:
"kurope has this week reverted to In
ternational usage known as diplomacy.
Cannon jro on roaring, but statesmen have
begun to talk to each other. Hcrr von
Dethmann-Hollweg has challenged Mr.
Asqulth to explain himself. Premier As
qultlt has responded and. In turn, the Ger
man Chancellor must deal with the ITng
Hah rejoinder."
The Nation says no trnco of envy of
Oormany's prosperity and no plan of re
vonce for her "cruelties" will be In the
-words or the splrlty of tho treaty which
she "will bo asked to sign.

BRITISH MOVE CLOSER
ST0KUT-EL-AMARAIN
BATTLE ON TIGRIS
Force Under General Gorringc
Drives Back Turks From
One and a Half to
Three Miles
FIGHT ON FLOODED FIELD
LONDON. April ID.
Tho British force under Lieutenant
General Gorringc, which Is lighting Its
way up the Tlitrls Hlvcr to tho relief of
Goncral Townshctul nt Kut-ct-Amarn, ad
vanced bctwpen l'i and 3 mllen on Wed
nesday, according to Information from
hoadatiurtrrs reaching tho War Ofllco yes
terday. Tho Turks, facing a sharp Ilrlt
lsh attack and threatened with nn Inunda
tion of their trenches, fell back with heavy
losses. Tho War Olllcu announcement of
tho engagement follows:
General Lake reports that 6n the
afternoon of April 12 our foices on
tho right (south) bank of tho Tigris
forced back tho enemy's advanced lino
oer a distance varying from one and
a half to tlireo mites.
' To do this they had to cross an
Inundated bolt Intersected by deep
cuts from BOO to 1200 yards wide,
extending from tho Tlgrl3 to tho
Umm-ol-Brahm marsh. .
On tho left bank water from tho
marshes has been driven by a north
west galo Into somo of tho enemy's
tronches at Sannnyyat. Tho 'enemy
wns heavily punished as ho took
refuge from the Hood In tho new
position.
Tho announcement of tho British lc
tbry camo at a tlmo when tho public was
beginning to fear efforts to relieve the
force of General Townshend were doomed
to failure, owing to the check suffered
by tho relieving army a few days ago
and the dlclllcult conditions brought about
by floods.
Many military writers In England be
lieved the floods had made the relief al
most un Impossibility, but tho official re
port shows that, Instead of hindering tho
British, tho high water has : elpecj tho
force. of Lieutenant General Gorrlngo in
a task which Is ono of the most difficult
undertaken by the British army.
Each mile the Turns aro forced back
makes tho British operations easier, for
as they approach Kut-el-Amara the Turks
aro compelled to defend a wider front.
From the bend of tho Tigris at Umm-cl-Henna,
which Oeneral Gorrlnge captured
last week, to Sannayyat, which the Turks
aro In danger of losing, If they have not
been compelled already to abandon It,
both flanks of the Turkish forces aro pro
tected by marshes on either side of tho
river. Further up the river the area of
dry ground widens until the E3slnn posi
tion is reached. Although this position
is very strongly fortified, it Is believed
that If the rellovlng forces reach it Gen
eral Townshend's army will bo able to
assist them. In view of today's news,
therefore, the prospect of rescuing tho
army at Kuet-el-Amara Is regarded as bet
ter than It has been for some time.
BREAK SURE UNLESS
BERLIN YIELDS TO U. S.
Continued from X'uge One
marine. The evidence In possession of the
President, State Department officials said
today, Is absolutely conclusive and com
pletely proves that the statement regard
ing the Sussex contained in the last Gor
man nota-was erroneous.
Germany will have to agree to tho prin
ciples set forth In the new note or Am
bassador Gerard will be recalled, ofllclals
said.
TO CONSULT CONGRESSMEN.
A conference during the day had been
arranged with Chairman Stone, of tho
Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and
Chairman Flood, of the House Commit
tee. It was the purpose at this conference
to lay before these congressional leaders
the ground on which action was being
taken and to discuss possible eventuali
ties. Whether or not the whole matter should
be laid before' Congress was discussed.
The President was not expected to put
the matter before Congress In any event,
with the idea of obtaining authorization
for the course to be pursued. Rather,
he was to announce the steps being taken
out of respect for the right of Congress
to know.
While containing no threats, it is said
the communication as tentatively drafted
states the United States' posllon In such
for mthat Germany to meet it mus make
very sweeping changes In her submarine
policy. No otherwise, It is believed, can
she give the assurances asked.

expressed In the United States over tho

The Chancellor has held scvnral con

Lengthy dispatches In code wore sent
on Friday to Count von Bcrnstorff, the
Gorman Ambassador to tho United

German olllclnldom seems willing to
strain every ncrvo In order to avoid n,
rupturo with tho United States, hut In
spito of this nttltudc, newspapers continue
to publish vicious attacks ngnlnnt Presi

pictures.
It has been suggested that the Gov

and suggestlvo cartoons which are being
printed In Germany, but so fur no move
has been made In this direction.
Numerous nrtlcles on the Mexican situa

These tirades are not confined to the
obscurity of the maipes. but havo found

United States has acted In nn unneutral

WASHINGTON, April IE.
Tho Aberdeen bnrge Invcrlyon. Port

by BUnfh-0 April 11, but two Americans
nboard her escaped 'safely. Somo of the
crew were lost.
A parnphrnso of the Queenstown Con

"Tho Aberdeen bark Inverlyori, Portland

cia. Unarmod, no attempt to escape.
Fifteen minutes allowed ta abandon ship.
"One boat, with 12 men, Including two
Americans, saved. Other boat no Amer
icans lost
Officials admitted there is a serious
iniestlon Involving American rights in the
Invcrlyon case. In formal notes this
Government has demanded "full measure
of safety" for Americans on ships at
tacked. It has plainly declared this
"measure of safety" does not consist
merely of placing passengers In wnall
boats.
German submarino commanders. Secre
tary Lansing has clerly explained, must
make certain such passengers aro not too
far from land to be subjected to danger,
and that the condition of the sea must
be taken Into consideration.
Officials were. Inclined to the belief that
since ono boatload of human beings was
lost, those In tho boat which landed, al
though they reached land, were obviously
put In danger and not given full measure
of safety.

The National Cash Register Company has no great
competitors. But the "National" advertises to encourage
the use of more cash registers.
The Timkin Roller Bearing Company some time ago
had 90 of the available business. They should have been
satisfied. Possibly they were. But they intended to remain "
satisfied. They advertised to keep what they had acquired.
Advertising can build business. It can retain business.
It can make new uses of a product. It can point out new
uses for an old product.
Think it over. You have often said of some great
concern :
"I wonder why they advertise? They have more busi
ness than they can handle."
But their success was sufficient proof of the business
acumen of the'men at the head of thesq concerns. These
men would not be so foolish as to waste money on unneces
sary advertising.
What is the answer?
The business large or small that cannot be profitably
