RESTORE ORDER NOW
ROME, April 25.—Tli? first actual
light upon the internal conditions in
Germany and Austria-Hungary was
thrown on the situation today when
the Vatican admitted that the Pa
pal Nuncios, who are the representa

and riots approximating a revolt
were now general and asking the as

order because a revolution fanned
by the socialists was imminent in.
both countries.
AMSTERDAM, April 25.—Lede
bors, a socialist member of the
Reichstag and one of the members
of the new revolutionary socialist
party just organized in distinction
to the old social-democratic party,
charged that the government was
responsible for the food crisis, that
the rich and powerful were able to
gorge themselves while the poor -
starved, and demanded an investiga
tion of the maladministration of the
internal affairs of the nation. Ef
forts to prevent Ledebors continu
ing proved futile and the radical
socialist continued his scathing at
tack upon the government until
the factions in the Reichstag preci
pitated a violent fight which caused
the suspension of the session. Both
sides came to blows which was con
tinued as the members left until
the police specially summoned stop

RFST GREETED CAPITAL
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 23—
The French conference Commission

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 25—
Arthur Balfour in a statement made
to newspaper men today took occa
sion to emphasize his denial of the
rumor that the French and British
commissioners were in the United
States to inveigle the United States
into an entangling alliance.
Balfour spoke with feeling. He
said that they had no such inten
tion and it was well realized that
Europe would receive vastly more
America than Europe could give in
return. He wanted to assure the
nation that that was the emphatic
and universal view held by both
France and England as far as the I
United States entry into the war
was concerned. The American atti
tude was wonderful.

HOME RULE
LONDON', April 25.—Great inter
est is now centering upon the ex
pected announcement of David Lloyd
George on the Home Rule question.
It is taken for granted that the
Homo Rule law will be instituted
by executive order immediately and
to the most general extent. Irish
members are preserving a stern
neutrality on the matter and will
believe it when they see it done.
Redmond and the rest of the party
have practically broken with the
coalition government.
The United Press correspondent
says that there are now strong in
dications that the Irish question
will be easily settled by the estab
lishment of Home Rule and the in
fluence of America is to be seeiv in
the sudden right-about-face of the
George administration. The cordial
reception which the British commis
sion is cabled as receiving makes
the British very anxious to placate
American sentiment.
The strong nationalist opposition
which may be reflected in the Irish
circles in the United States is not
being overlooked and it is principal
ly on this-account that Home Rule
for Ireland is being considered very '
expedient.
George is expected to make an an
nouncement tonight or at the latest
before the end of the week accord
ing to present advices.

LOSSES SICKEN ALLIES
WHEN TROOPS WIPED OUT
LONDON, April 25.—The most
frightful slaughter took place today
when the German counter attackers
wore shot to pieces at Gavrelle, the
guns opening at a distance of three
hundred yards and literally cutting
up the entire force engaged in a great
massed attack, the sight being de
scribed as sickening.
The slaughter was accidental,
the Germans prior to the attack
started a great smoke cover undter
which they were advancing. Before
reaching the Entente lines at Gav
relle, the wind lifted the smoke re
vealng the immense force when but
three hundred yards from the En
tente guns which almost immediate
ly opened fire.
Field and machine guns and rifle
fire cut the Germans up in horrible
fashion, very few escaping the
frightful slaughter the close quarter
fire eventuated in.
