THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBURO, PA. HOI BALFOUR MISSION 1(1 WASHINGTON SCOURING THE ATLANTIC FOR PLOTTERS British Leader Welcomed By Secretary Lansing. UNION JACK BESIDE U.S. FLAG Large Crowd At Station, Warded Off By Army Of Soldlert and Po licemen, Cheers Visit ing Delegates. Washington. The American capital extended a simple but heartfelt wel come to the British minister for for eign affairs, Arthur J. Balfour, and the Other members of the British commis sion, which has come to Washington, as Mr. Balfour himself expressed it, "to make co-operation easy and ef fective between those who are driv ing with all their power to bring about a lasting peace by the only means that can secure it, namely, a successful war." The weather waa perfect and Wash ington, with bright spring sunshine clad in the light green foliage of the aeason, never looked more beautiful when the special train which bad brought the distinguished visitors with their official escorts from the North drew into the Union Station. Every where bunting flew in the light breexe, mainly the American national colors. The British Union Jack and the French tri-color were in evidence In many places, but the local flagmakers had been unable to meet the public de mand for them. With the Balfour Party. Great Britain's high commissioners to the International War Council to begin In Washington this week, set foot on American soil Saturday and reached Washington Sunday afternoon. Arthur James Balfour, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the Em pire, formerly Premier, and often called the dean of the world's elder statesmen, was the central figure of a party that included some of Great Britain's most prominent men. With a genial smile playing over his fea tures, he consented to a brief Inter view, warmly expressing hla ap preciation of all the United States has done aa a neutral in charitable and re lief work in Belgium and in German prison camps, his gratification that England and the United States now are allied for a common purpose, and his conviction that this country in Us war efforts would astound the world, particularly Germany. The object of the commission, Mr. Balfour said, was "to make co-operation easy and effective between those who are striving with all their power to. bring about a lasting peace by the only means that can secure it, name ly, a successful war." While unable to discuss the situa tion before presenting himself to President Wilson, Mr. Balfour willing ly consented to say a few words aa to bis general bopes for the conference and the fundamental purposes behind as follows: "On my own behalf, let me express the deep gratification I feel at being called in any capacity whatever with events which associates our countries In a common effort for a great Ideal. "On behalf of my countrymen, let me express our gratitude for all that the citizens of the United States of America have done to mitigate the lot of those who. in the Allies' countries, have suffered from the cruelties of the most deliberately cruel of all wars. To same no others, the efforts of Mr. Gerard to alleviate the condition of British and other prisoners of war In Germany, and the administrative genius which Mr. Hoover has ungrudg ingly devoted to the relief of the un happy Belgians and French in the ter ritories still in enemy occupation, will never be forgotten; while an in AThmiRtihA Rtream of charitable effort has supplied medical and nursing skill to the service of the wounded and the stair. "These are the memorable doings of a beneficent neutrality. But the days of neutrality are, I rejoice to think, at n nd. and the first page is being turned in a new chapter in the history nf mankind. Your President, in a mot ant and vivid nhrase. has pro claimed that the world must be made unfa for democracy. Democracies wherever they' are to be found, and not leant the democracies of the British Empire, will hail the pronouncement as a happy augury. That seir-govern-In communities are not to be treated as negligible simply because they are moll; that the ruthless domination of one unscrupulous power Imperils the future of civilization and the HD- of mankind are truths of nolitlcal ethics which the bitter ex perlence of war Is burning Into the mils of all freedom-loving peoples That this great people should have thrown themselves whole-heartedly Into the mighty struggle, prepared for all the efforts and sacrifices that may he required to win success for this most righteous cause Is an event at once so happy and so momentous that . nniv the historian of the future will be able, as I believe, to measure its true proportions.

Agree To Paes Only Meas ures Proposed By Ad ministration. Washington. Nation-wide prohibi tion for the period ot the war will be made an Administration policy, in the Judgment of those close enough to the President to reflect hla views upon this question. That the leading officials of the Gov ernment have concluded that a fixed restriction upon both the manufacture and sale of spirituous liquors should be ordered seems absolutely certain. House Walts On Wllaon. The question whether there will be prohibition waa put squarely up to President Wilson when the House Democrats, In caucus, agreed that the extra session of Congress should be devoted exclusively to war emergency legislation proposed by the President A resolution to this effect was substi tuted for one previously adopted, after a vigorous fight, providing for con sideration ot a bill Introduced by Rep resentative Howard, of Georgia, to permit the President to prohibit the manufacture or sale of liquor during the war. The advisory commission of the Na tional Defense Council is known to favor at hast legislation which will aton the manufacture of whiskey and beer. That body is not believed to be in favor of Interfering at this time with the sale of the liquor, beer or wines which may be already In stock. Means Conaldered. It is reliably stated that members of the council have gone so far in the direction of prohibition as to consider means whereby it may be effected. There is reason to believe that some of them are of the opinion that the President, by an executive order, may bring the manufacture, if not the sale, of liquor to an end. Such an Order would be Justified, it la said, as a straight war measure. Others are Inclined to the belief that legislation must be enacted be fore such a move may legally be made. What may be the President's views as to hla authority in this mat ter Is not known, nor have his views aa to the necessity for prohibition been disclosed. But the fact that his advisers seem to favor definite re strictions indicates that he will pro- Dose them. The effect of the Howard measure would be to produce absolute prohibi tion in the United States during the war. It not only authorizes the Presi dent to stop the manufacture of In toxicants, but It also authorizes him, by proclamation, to prohibit its sale. Would Save Grain. "The Durnose of my bill." said Mr. Howard, "is to conserve all the grain products for food purposes and to bring about a better moral condition In the country during the war. This meaaure will save for food purpoaes 140.000.000 bushels of grain. I have reason to believe that both Congress and high Government officials are con vinced that we should close the die tlllerles and the breweries during the war. It can only be done by includ ina- In one ot the war measures an amendment giving the President the needed authority." SIX 80NS IN ARMY AND NAVY.

NEWS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK War Councils With Leaders of the Allies Are Opened in Wash ington. FIGHT, OVER CONSCRIPTION Dent's Committee Rejects Presidents Plan Enemy Submarine Repon ed Near New York Nlvelle Smashes German Lines Between Reims and 8olssons. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. For America at war the outstand ing pvent of the past week was the opening of the great allied war coun cils In Washington. Uenuea Dy sucn eminent men ns British Foreign Min ister Bulfour and Rene Vivian!, former premier of France, the commissions from England and France arrived in the national cnpltnl, were installed In fine residences nnd at once began the series of conferences with the heads of the American government and of Its armed forces. In order to Insure the safety of the misainners. the government quite properly suppressed all news of their movements; and it is in no nurry 10 toll whnt transpires at the conferences. It Is safe to soy, however, that the re sults of the meetings will be moment ous. Congress provided enough sinews or war for the present by passing the bill for the Issuance of $7,000,000,000, of which $3,000,000,000 Is to be lent to the allies. There was not n single op posing vote in either house or senate, rvinirroan nlso annronrlated $100,000,- 000 as an emergency wor fund to be put at the disposal of the president. Conscription Still In Doubt President Wilson continued through out tha week his strenuous fight for selective conscription, but arguments and threats were nuke vain so rur as the house military committee was con xornofl. The committee rejected, 13 to 8, the administration provision, and then adopted an amendment oirerea Dy rhnirmnn Dent providing that the president should call for 500,000 volun teers under the existing volunteer aci, and should apply conscription only when he "decides that such additional forces cannot be effectually raised and maintained under the call for volun teers." The house agreed to take up the army bill on Monday. In the. senate committee the presi dent fared better, for the administra tion bill with the selective conscrip tion feature was accepted by a vote of 10 to 7. It Is the hope of the admin istration that the senate will .pass this bill before the house acts. Impressed by the strength of the op position to his conscription plan, es peclolly In the ranks of the Democrat ic party, the president on Thursday Issued an appeal to the public to sup port his proposition. Administration leaders protest that the advocates of the volunteer system have spread the Idea that under the conscription plun there Is no room for the volunteer system, wherens the president's plan leaves the way open for COO.OOO volunteers to serve for the duration of the war only. At the beginning of the week Pres ident Wilson Issued a remarkable proc lamation to the nation, calling on nil the people to give to It. In their re spective capacities, their united, full service for the successful prosecution of the war. Such a call was doubtless needed to arouse Individuals, but re cent events show that the Industries of the country already are completely organized and proceeding to carry out the plans outlined by the council of national defense. The work done and bdng done by that body of patriotic men Is revealed as most comprehen sive nnd complete, and when It Is known In Its entirety will astonish the people of America. U-Boats In American Waters? Are there any German U-boats In American waters? Berlin says "not PLEA FOR UNIVERSAL SERVICE Major General Wood Points Out What He Consldera the Duty of the United States. Boston. Major General Wood, speaking nt a mooting of the Ameri can Cotton Waste Exchange here, said that the United States would not fulfill Its duty In this war until It had sent men to the front. The meeting was called to raise funds for the Red Cross. "If we ore to be part of the war," yet," but the officers of the American destroyer Smith aver that a torpedo was fired at their vessel early Tues day morning 100 miles south of New York. They are sure the missile camo from a submarine, because they saw the periscope. Having been advised by British and French naval men that the well-armed merchant vessel Is the best weapon for use against the submarine, the American government Is pushing with redoubled vigor its pluns for the building of big fleets of wooden ships. It Is even considering delaying the construction of five battleships for this purpose. . In the United States union labor In general Is heartily supporting the gov ernment In Its war measures. The ex ceptions are certain scattered groups of manifestly Germanic tendencies. The members of these, as well as cer tain other Americans with perverted Ideas of their duty to mankind, may profitably study President Wilson's proclamation, issued Monday, warning aguinst the commission of treasonable acts. Giving aid and comfort to the enemy Is treason, and the punishment for treason may be death. It la a pity that such a proclamation should be necessary. Recruiting la Better. Recruiting for the regular army and navy during the past week was much more satisfactory than heretofore. From the navy training schools thou sands of young men, made fit by In tensive training, were sent to the At lantic and Pacific seaboards to man the vessels of the fleets. The University of Illinois' plan for the enlisting of a great army of agri cultural laborers, men and boys out side the years of military service or otherwise exempt having been recom mended by the council of national de fense nnd approved by the administra tion, seems likely to solve the problem of farm labor. This, and the concert ed movement to urge the growing of limit crops have aroused the farmers and gardeners so that the dangers ot a food shortage are decreasing. Ev ery help possible Is promised the agri culturists In the way of obtaining seed and labor. Prices of foodstuffs still are abnor mally high, nnd there are more than hints. Unit the government will curb the avarice of the speculators. Cana dian wheat was put oh the free list Monday, and the depressing effect on the price of May wheat was immedi ate but not lnstlng. The grain specu lators are being Investigated by the federal authorities. Great Victory for the French. The greatest battle of the war to date, and consequently the greatest In all history, Is that being fought . In northern France. While the British were making their tremendous thrust toward Lens and St. Quentln, the French were concentrating their artil lery fire on the German lines In the Reims-Soissons sector. When storms and German re-enforcements tempo rarily checked the rush of Ilalg's men, NIvelle's troops took their turn. On Monday they smashed against the Teu tonic front, crushing the enemy de fenses for 25 miles, capturing the sec ond and even the third line in places. Such was the Impetus of the attack that in one Instance, at Brlmont, they broke, clear through. This is the see tor where the crown prince commands, and he hurriedly brought up brigade after brigade of reserves which made desperate attempts to win back the lost ground. But the wonderful French field artillery hnd followed close behind the Infantry and checked the Germun counter-attacks with aw ful loss of life. On Tuesday the French resumed their drive and pushed the Germans still farther back on the lino from Reims to the Champagne front. All Tuesday night the fighting was fierce, but the French held their gnlns. In those two days 14,000 Her mans were taken captive and about 10,000 others were killed or wounded. The prisoners were In a state of col lapse from hunger and the effects of the gun-fire. Mennwhlle the British pushed their way farther to the north of St. Quen tln and consolidated the positions they had won. What Berlin Says of It . , German ofllclul reports on the French offensive nre nnlve. They nd mlt the success of the attack, but as sert the object of the Germans was, sold General Wood, "our men In our uniform must be nt the front. It Is no child's play. We shull send living men nnd bring them back dead but never until this Is done shall we fulfill our duty. , "You nre now standing behind the allied lines and behind such forces as we have afloat. There Is a long period of preparation ahead of us, before we shall be ready to nssumo our proper position In tho war, and the first step is to back up tho plan for unlversnl military service.
