! Attempts were made today by German or Austrian plotters to blow up
lweral buildings in Portsmouth, 0.; the 'Elephant Butto Dam, New Mexico's
wllion-dollar irrigation structure near El Paso, Tex., and the benzol plant of
fifct Woodward iron company at jjirminjjiiam, twa. Arrests were maao in each
before damage was done.
CONFESSION AFTER LONG GRILLING
The confession of Ehret, which was not made public, came after several
m grilling by Captain Offley, of the Department of Justice, and Assistant
iBbfrict Attorney Knox. He was arrested by the Mount Vernon police while
(needing through that town on a motorcycle. Of tho three others arrested, one

STILL. THINK IT WAS PLOT
Ciiptaln Walter M. Wilholm, vlco presi
dent and general manager of the Eddystono
Ammunition Corporation, asked today by
the isvenino LEDaEn whether any late in
formation had caused him to chango his
mind regarding the causo of tho disaster,
replied:
"No. We still think it was a plot."
Captain Wllhelm said tho guard forco of
the company did not havo any one under
arrest on suspicion of Implication in the
explosion, but he said he understood the
Chester authorities were detaining several
men.
Captain Wllhelm said tho corporation
early last week requested tho Department
of the East, at Governor's Island, Now York,
to send Federal guards to protect the docks
and water front of the plant, as a result of
several attempts of a mysterious motor
boat to land at night Tho United States
authorities, however, declined to act until
the State authorities had given their ap
proval, and tho matter was being consid
ered by Governor Brumbaugh and Adjutant
General Stewart when the disaster occurred.
Captain Wllhelm explained that tho request
for Federal aid was made because under
the law at present any boat may land at
tho docks of a private corporation unless the
Federal authorities havo maclo a specific
ruling to the contrary. As tho water front

LLOYD GEORGE SALUTES AMERICA
ON ENTRANCE W0 WAR; SEES PEACE
I CAN see peace coming now not a peace which i3 the mere befrinning
of another war but real peace. I am the first Minister in behalf of
Britain to salute America as one of our comrades in arms. I'm glad of it
I'm proud of it. s
I'm glad not merely because ofthe stupendous resources that your
great nation can render to succor
tho alliance, but I rejoice as a
democrat that the advent of the
United States gives the final stamp
nnd seal to the character of the
conflict.
Wo rcjoico that America has
won tho right to be at tho peace
conference tnble when tho terms
are fixed. It would have been n
tragedy to mankind if America had
not won tho right to bo nt tho
peace conference table, with all the
influence and power she has now
obtained.
Tho Kaiser promised that Prus
sia would be a democracy after
tho war. I think the Kaiser is
right.
Tho United States has a noble
tradition that they have never been
engaged in war except for liberty.
This is the greatest struggle for
liberty on which they havo ever
embarked.
America's entrance means some
thing moro than waging of an ef
fective war she will insure a
beneficial peace.
I am glad America has already
sent naval and military experts to
confer. America's enormous help
is illustrated in tho guns used in
Monday's victory.
It was a bad day for the Prussian
military autocracy when it chal
lenged the -great Republic of tho
West.
The rpad to victory is found in
the word "ships." America already
realizes this; hence the proposition
for a thousand 3000-ton merchant
men
LLOYD GEORGE
For three years the British tried every blunder thinkable and got into
every bunker, but a fine niblick has made our score. It will be worth while
for America to study our blunders so as to begin where wo now are, not
where we were three years ago.
Two great facts clinch the argument that this struggle is for freedom.
They are, first, America's entrance, and, second, the Russian revolution.
At first it was hard for America to understand Germany's purposes, but
when they were realized America acted promptly. When the Hindenburg
lino is drawn America is determined the Rhine and not tho Atlantic will
be the proper location.
In view of the history of past wars it is no wonder many thought the
kings were up to their old tricks again. The fact that the United States
finally entered, however, shows this is not that sort of struggle. "

notables 'and jTs,1e4 VrJjy American Ambassador Pago.

WITH THE BIUTISH ARMIES AFIELD,
April 12.
Canadians earned new honors today in a
storming advance on a mile front south of
tho Vlmy rldgo.
Dashing forward impetuously, they
stormed and took nearly a mile of German
trenches running south from the German
commandants' house near the Farbus
wood.
It Is along this line of defense that the
German forces have been 'clinging desper
ately since the first sweep forward of the
Canadians cleared the top of the Vlmy
ridge.
Desperate fighting Is in progress today
over the eastern slopes of Vlmy ridge. In
the face of violent resistance British forces
'swarmed over a German entrenchment be
tween tho Cojeul Illver and Neuvllle VI.

sponding and adjoining position of trenches
to the south of the river Is today being
cleared of Its Teuton defenders' by combined

By CHARLES P. STEWART
Special CabU Service of the United Prett and Evtning I.cdoer.
BUENOS AIRES, April 12. Indications of a serious crisis between Eng
land and Spain were contained in Madrid dipatches here today. They asserted
that the British Ambassador at Madrid had been sent to the frontier on a special
train. Despite denial of the Foreign Minister, it was said Spain was expelling
him because of suspicion that he was fomenting revolutionary plots against
the monarchy. The Spanish Ambassador to Argentina was informed by his
Government today that Spain had withdrawn the bulk of her troops from Africa.
It was stated that 29,000 men had already been landed at home ports.
ENLISTMENTS EXPIRE AT END OP EMERGENCY
All men who enlist in the regular army now will be discharged at the ter
mination ot the emergency. This fact was made known today in a telegram from

The telegram follows: "It is the policy of the War Department to discharge at
the termination of tho emergency all' men who have enlisted In the regular army
since the declaration of war or who now enlist. This policy also applies to the
National Guard."
