London. April 22.—From Ihe Car
pathiau peaks and passes the violent
encounters of the war have, for the
present at least, been transferred to
Belgium and France. The most san
guinary engagements ever reported
by any of the war chancelleries are In
progress in Belgium southeast of
Ypres, where the Germans are en
deavoring to wrest from tile British
a strategic point known as tiill No. 60,
which the Britons took from the Ger
mans several days ago with extreme
ly heavy casualties to both sides Re
inforcements have been received and
the Kaiser is using all efforts to stop
the advance of the enemy.
London declares that "violent and
continual counter attacks” are still
being made against the position, two
of which were repulsed with great
Loss to the Germans. Since April 17.
Paris says the Germans have lost in
defending and attempting to recapture
this hill 4,000 men.
The airmen are still busy dropping
bombs The Germans have throwr
more than 100 explosive missiles upoi
BlalystoU. Russian Poland; the Run
sinus in retaliation have bombarded
the railroad station at Koldun. Fas
Prussia; the British have attacker
the German airship hangars at Ghent
Belgium, while French airmen havt
thrown bombs on the headquarters o
the German General Von Strantz it
tiie Woevre and attacked German
convoys in Baden and an electric
power plant at Ijorrach, Baden, a short
distance north of Basel. Switzerland
Washington. The United State?
government replied Wednesday to the
recent memorandum in which Count
Von Bemstorff, the German amhassa
tIW- declared that "If the Americar
people desire to observe true neutral
ity they will find means to stop the
exclusive exportation of arms to one
side or at least to use this export
trade as a means to uphold the legiti
male trade with Germany, especially
the trade of foodstuffs."
The American note, which is signet
by Secretary Bryan, was drafted at
the State Department but was finally
penned by President Wilson himself
After pointing out that the language
used by Count Von Bemstorff "is sus
ceptible of being construed as im
pugulng the good .faith of the TJnltec
States in the performance of its du
ties as a neutral" the note "takes P
for granted that no such irnplicat.ioi
was intended" and suggests that
dently the German ambassador "is la
boring under certain false impres
sions."
It is then declared that while the
relations of the United States with
any one of the belligerents “cannot
wisely be made a subject of discus
sion with a third government" such
correspondence between the United
States and the allies as has been pub
lished shows "the steadfast refusal"
of the government “to acknowledge
the right of any belligerent to alter
tbc accented rules of war at sea in so
far as they affect the rights and in
terests of neutrals."
ROOSEVELT ON WITNESS STAND.
Syracuse, N. Y.—Theodore Roose
velt resumed the witness stand, in the
Supreme Court Wednesday and con
tinned to tell the story of his dealings
with William Barnes, in an effort to
prove he was justified in making the
statement upon which Barnes is suing
him to recover $50,000 for alleged
libel.
Four chapters of Albany politics
were related by Col. Roosevelt. The
former President gave what lie con
tended were'details of the election by
"Barnes Republicans." assisted by
"Murphy Democrats,” of an official
leader Qf the Republican party in New
York; the cause of the hostilities be
tween Barnes and Governor Hughes;
the defeat of the Hart-Agnmv racing
bill by the Republican organization
and the fight he said the combined
Democratic and Republican machines,
the tatter led by Barnes, made against
direct primaries legislation.
He also identified a letter written by
Barnes in which the latter told him
"ttoe idea of getting rid of bosses is
absurd so long as you have party gov
ernment.'’

LEO M. FRANK MUST DIE.
For Murder of Mary Phagan, an At
lanta Factory Girl.
Washington.—Leo M. Frank, the
Brooklyn man under death sentence
for the murder of Mary Phagan. an
Atlanta factory girl, lost another step
in his fight for life, in the Supreme
Court of the United States.
In a decision, from which Justices
Holmes and Hughes dissented, the
court dismissed Frank's appeal from
the federal court, of Georgia, which re
fused to release him on a writ of ha
beas corpus.
Frank contended that “alleged mob
violence’’ at his trial, and the fact that
he was absent from the court room
when the jury returned its verdict, had
removed him from the •jurisdiction of
the courts of Georgia.
The majority opinion of the Su
preme Court rejected all these conten
tions, and declared Frank enjoyed all
his legal rights in the Georgia courts.
Seemingly no other avenue of es
cape from the death penalty is open
to Frank through the courts. The state
pardon officials might relieve him.

NEAR CLIMAX, IN WHICH
AMERICA MUST ACT.
RESTORE WORLD PEACE
WILL BE CHIEF FACTOR IN SET
TLING EUROPEAN WAR BY
SYMPATHETIC STAND.
Western Newipuper Union N'ewe Service.
New York. —President Wilson in an
address at the annual luncheon of the
Associated Press here gave a definite
statement of his idea of true neutral
ity and of the duties that devolve 1
upon America's connection with the i
European war. Referring to the war !
situation, the President said:
The times behind us, gentlemen,
have been difficult enough; the times
before us are likely to be more diffi
cult. Because whatever may be said
about the present condition of the
world affairs, it is clear that they are
drawing rapidly to a climax; and at
the climax the test will come. not. only
for the nations engaged in the present
colossal struggle—it will come for
them, of course —but the teat will
come to us particularly.
' Do you realize that, rough! >
speaking, we are the only great nation
at present disengaged? Therefore, is j
it not likely that the nations of the
world will some day turn to us, for tin
cooler assessment of the element en
gaged ?
“I am not now thanking so prepos
terous a thought ns that we should sit
in judgment upon them—no nation is
fit to sit in judgment upon any other
nation —but that we shall some day
have to assist in reconstructing the
process of peace.
"We must put our money, our en
ergy, our enthusiasm, our sympathies
into these things; and we must have
our Judgment prepared and our spir ,
its chastened against the coming of
that day. So that i am not speaking |
in a selfish spirit when I say that our
whole duty, for the present at any
rate, is summed up in this motto:
•America First.’
‘ us think of America before we j
think of Europe, in order that Amer- i
ica may be fit to be Europe’s friend,
when the day of tested friendship j
comes. The test of friendship is not.
now sympathy with one side or the
other, but getting ready to help both
sides when the struggle is over
“The basis of neutrality, gentlemen.
Is not Indifference; It Is not self inter
est. The basis of neutrality is sym
pathy for mankind. It is fairness; it
is good will at bottom. It is impartiality
of spirit and of judgment. I wish
that all of our fellow citizens could
realize that. There is in some quar
ters a disposition to create distemper
in this body politic.
“We cannot afford, therefore, to let
the rumors of irresponsible persons
and origin to gei into the atmosphere
of the United States.
“There are groups of selfish men in
the United States; there are coteries
where sinister things are purposed,
but the great heart of the American
people is just as sound and true as it
ever was. And it is a single heart; it
is a heart of America. It is not a ;
heart made up of sections collected j
out of other countries."

N. W. ALDRICH IS DEAD
APOPLECTIC STROKE CAUSE OF
SUDDEN DEATH.
; Former Rhode Island Senator Direct
ed Tariff and Financial Legisla
tion During Five Terms in Senate.
We»t*rn Nmripiptr Union New* Service.
• New r York.—Nelson W. Aldrich, for
I thirty years United States senator
from Rhode Island and Republican j
leader, whose name was stamped ;
upon tariff and currency legislation of I
Ills party, died of an apoplectic stroke
at his home in Fifth avenue here on j
the 16th. He had been ill of indiges
tion since Thursday afternoon. Until
then he had been in excellent health.
NELSON W. ALDRICH.
He w r as in his seventy-fourth year.
' Senator Aldrich will be buried in
I Swan Point cemetery, Providence. R.
| 1.. Sunday.
Dr. John S. Thatcher, tiie family
j physician, had left Mr. Aldrich less
than half an hour before he died.
Whan Dr. Thatcher left tiie patient
appeared to be recovering from the
slight attack of indigestion. Ten min
utes after the physician left Mr. Aid
rich suddenly became unconscious and
died within a few minutes.
Members of his immediate family!
were hurriedly summoned when he be
; came unconscious and w'ere at the bed-
I side when he died. They included his,
I wife. Miss Aldrich ami Mrs. John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., his daughters, and
Winthrop Aldrich, his son. John D.
' Rockefeller. Jr„ was notified within
a few minutes after Mr. Aldrich died.
Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich held a
; seat in the United States Seriate con
| linuously from 1881 to 1911. The in
fluence exerted by "him on govern
' mental affairs was best illustrated by
the fact that when he was satirically
introduced to an audience as the
general manager of the United j
States,” that uppeiiatlon lived through
the administration of McKinley, Roose
velt and Taft.
Probably the greatest parliamenta
rian that ever served in the Senate,
Mr. Aldrich had no difficulty in main
taining leadership of his party. While
.he gave special attention t « the tariff
and financial legislation in committee,
on the Senate floor his ear was open
for all that was said on any subject
of general importance.
Born in Foster, R. 1.. Nov. 6, 1841. he
first appeared in public office as mem
ber of the common council in the city
of Providence. He was elected to the
RJiode Island Assembly in 1875, and
four years later sent to Congress.
After two sessions he was elevated to
the Senate as successor of Gen. Am- i
j brose E. Burnside.
| Former Senator Aldrich’s death has 1
caused a revision of the plans of John
! D. Rockefeller. Jr., his son-in-law, for
] the immediate future,
j Mr. Rockefeller had arranged to
j leave New York for Colorado to in

BEGIN “BIG PUSH”

ON FRONTIER AS KAISER QUITS
OFFENSIVE IN FRANCE.
ITALY IS DELAYING WAR
i
BIG ARTILLERY DUEL SIGNAL FOR
PROMISED ADVANCE UPON
INVADERS’ TRENCHES.
Western Newspaper Union Newsservice.
Loudon, April 26. —Lord Kitchener’s
army of 1,500,000 men has begun its
"big push” to drive the Germans out
of Belgium and northern France,
which has been promised in the early
spring, according to dispatches from
the front, supported by the London
war office official report. Abandon
ment by the German general staff of
plans for a general offensive in
France is inferred from dispatches re
ceived here. It is said this decision
is indicated by official communications
to the Italian cabinet, as well as by
statements of Germans in official cir
cles, and that hope of penetration fur
ther into French territory has been
put aside.
A dispatch from Geneva gives the
impression that the Austrians and Ger
mans have decided to concentrate their
energies on the eastern campaign. It
is said that at a council of war pre
sided over by Field Marshal von Hin
denburg it was determined to transfer
tiie Austrian heavy artillery now be
fore Verdun to Poland and to send
I back to Cracow, western Galicia, the
! Hungarian cavalry now on tho west
! ern front.
Artillery duels, preliminary to infan
try attacks, have taken the place ot
fierce hand-to-hand fighting, which
lias been the feature of the recent
struggle along the Meuse and near the
j Loraine border, but the latter type of
I combat continues in the Vosges,
where, the official statements of both
si !es agree, sharp fighting is taking
! place on German territory.
* The corroboration, however, ends
with this fact, the French claiming to
have occupied dominating positions
here, and the Germans declaring that
the attacks of the French have failed.
1 From the British end of the lines
comes the report, officially issued by
the w’ar office at London, that Hill 60.
an important point two n.iles south of
Zillebeke, Belgium, was captured from
tiie Germans on the night of April 12.
The German communication tells of
driving the British out of minor Ger
man positions which were occupied by
j them to the southeast of Ypres. This
; is in the neighborhood of Hill 60.
! Petrograd continues to report minor
successes in the Carpathians, showing
that the fighting lias not been entirely
suspended near the passes, but the
Russian. Austrian and German official
reports agree that spring has virtually
put an end to all activity along the
j remainder of tiie eastern front.
Various rumors are current regard
ing the central powers. Austria,
through the medium of Venice, is cred
! Red with receiving with consternation
the. news of the extension of the land
i strum service to all classes between
the ages of 18 and 50 years.
1 It is again unofficially announced
j that operations are under way in the
j Dardanelles, where the Turks are re
ported to be building defenses with all
speed against landing parties, but the
news of the breaking up of the ice at
Archangel, the only large seaport on
1 the north coast of Russia, may induce
the entente allies to be more deliber
-1 ate in their attempts to unlock the
gate to the Black sea.
London.—Tiie allied offensive on the
western front, is developing. Accord
to the military authorities here, a
■ monster secret movement toward Ger
-1 many has been in progress for three
weeks at strategic points from the sea
to the Alps, with successes in Cham
pagne. at Les Eparges, Neuve Cha
pelle, Notre Darne de Lorette, La Bois
i selle, Dlxraude, Hartmann’s Weiler-
I kopf and south of Artz and in Alsace,
i This is believed to be the big move
ment expected in May. in which Kitch
ener expects to do such an important
part. Hard fighting was in progress
in northeastern France, and in this
way the pressure is gradually being
increased.
A Turkish torpedo boat, which at
tempted to interfere with the prepara
tions for the resumption of the opera
tions against the Dardenelles and Asia
; Minor, attacking the British transport
Manitou, was driven aground on the
coast of Chies and destroyed by the
■ British cruiser Minerva and British
■ torpedo boat destroyers.
i An official statement says that three
