fin
i - a
Recent official statements of allied
gains on the Galllpoll peninsula give a
clear and detailed account of the approxi-
mate numbers and disposition of 81r Ian
Hamilton's army of invasion. The total
expeditionary army according to these
reports numbers not far from 200000 men.
It consists of two divisions or 40000 of
French Infantry and artillery; a division
of marines; one division of British regu-
lars another of territorials and two di-
visions of Indian troopB: and about three
divisions or 60000 of Australian and
New Zealand troops.
The troops are disposed as follows as
shown on the map: The Australian and
New Zealand troops commanded by Lieu-
tenant General Blrdwood landed at Oaba
Tepe (1) and are trying to fight their
way across toward Maldos. The rest of
the army la entrenched across the penin-
sula. Just above Krithla in this order:
On the left on the Aegean shore the In-
dians (2) ; next to them the British regu-
lars (3); then the territorials (4); the ma-
rines (5): and the French (6) on the ex-
treme right flank the line reaching to the
Dardanelles shore.
GERMAN-AMERICANS
ARE ADDRESSED BY
WILLIAM BRYAU
(Continued from Page One.)
traduction to an appeal which I feel it
my duty to make to them.
DECLARES PRESIDENT f$
FRIENDLY TO GERMANY.
"First If any of them have ever In a
moment of passion or excitement sus-
pected the president of lack of neutrality
or lack of friendship toward the Oerman
government and the German people let
that thouiht be forgotten never again to
tx recalled. I have since my resignation
teeelved numerous telegrams from Gar-jnan-American
and German-American so-
cieties commending my action; I think
the sender of these telegrams understand
my position but that no one may mistake
it let me restate It. The president is
not only desirous of peace but he hopes
for it and he has adopted the methods
which he thinks most likely to contri-
bute toward peace. My difference from
him is aa to the method not as to pur-
pose and my utterances since resigning
have been intended to crystallize public
sentiment in support of his efforts to
maintain peace or to use a familiar
phrase 'peace with honof.' But remm
ber that when I use the phrase 'peace
with honor' I do not use it in the same
sense that those do who regard every
opponent of war as favoring 'peace at
any price.' 'Peace at any price' Is an
epithet not a true statement of any one's
position or of the policy of any group.
The words are employed by Jingoes as
an expression of contempt and are ap-
plied indiscriminately to all who have
faith In the nation's ability to find a
peaceful way out of every difficult1 so
long as both nations want peace.
WOULD URGE GERMANY
NOT TO TAKE WAR STEPS.
"The alarmists of the country have had
control of the metropolitan press and
i they have loudly proclaimed that the
promulgation of negotiations or the sug-
gestion of International investigation
would be a sign of weakness and every-
thing is weakness that does not contain
a hint of war. The Jingo sees In the rain-
bow a promise only of one color red.
"2. Knowing that the president desires
peace it Is your duty to help him obtain
it and how? by exerting your influence to
convince the German government of this
fact and to persuade that government to
take no steps that would lead In the direc-
tion of war. My fear has been that the
German government might despairing of
a friendly settlement break off dipkmatl
relations and thus create a condition out
of which war might coma without the in-
tention of either country.
"I do not ask you to minimise the ear-
restness of the president's statement;
that would be unfair both to him and to
Germany. The sinking of the Luattania
can not be defended upon the facts as we
understand them. The killing of Innocent
women and children can not be Justified
whether the killing is by drowning or by
starving; no nation can plead successfully
the inhumanity of her enemies as an ex-
cuse for' inhumanity on her own part
While it is true that cruelty is apt to
beget cruelty. It can not be said that 'like
cures like. Even In war we are not ab-
solved from the obligation to remedy even
by the Influence of a good example. 'Let
your light so shine' is a precept that
knows no times no seasons as it knows
neither latitude nor longitude.
A8 TO NEGOTIATIONS
WITH THE ALLIES.
Third; Dp not attempt to connect the
negotiations between the United States
and Germany with those between the
United States and Great Britain. The
cases are different but even If they were
the same it would not be necessary to
treat with each nation separately. My
personal preference has been to repeat our
Insistence that the allies shall not in
terfere with our commerce with neutral
countries but the difference off this point
was a matter of Judgment and not a
matter of principle. In the note to Great
Britain dated March 30 this government
SBtdr- 9 v - v y
" 'In view of these assurances formally
given to this government It is confidently
expected that the extensive powers con-
ferred by the order in council on the
executive omces ol the crown will be re
strfcted by "orders Issued by the srov
ernment" directing the exercise of their
discretionary powers in such a manner as
to modify in practical application those
provisions of the order in council which.
If strictly enforced would violate neutral
rights and Interrupt legitimate trade. He-
lying on the faithful performance of these
voluntary assurances By his majesty s
government the United States takes it
for granted that the approach of Ameri-
can merchantmen to neutral ports situ-
ated upon the long line of coast affected
by the order in council will not be inter-
fered with when It is known thev do not
carry goods which are contraband of war
or goods destined to or proceeding from
pons wuniD tne Deingerent territory
affected.'
WAR MOST EXPENSIVE
OF ALL. SETTLEMENTS.
"There is ne doubt that our government
will Insult upon this position; that it is
the important thing -the exact date of the
note is not material. My reason for de-
siring to Have the matter presented to
Great Britain at once was not that Ger
many had any right to ask It but because
I was anxious to make it as easy as possi
ble for Germany to accept the demands
of the United States and to cease to em
ploy submarines against merchantmen
There Is no reason whv German Amer
icana should doubt the president's Inten
tions In this matter. I am sure that
every one will on reflection recognise that
our duty to prevent loss of life Is more
urgent than our duty to prevent interfer-
ence with trade loss of trade can be
compensated ior witn money but no set
tlement that the United States and Ger
many may reach can call back to life
those who went down with the Lusltanla
and war would be the more exnenslvi
of all settlements because It would enor
mously add to the number of the dead.
HOPES GERMANY
WILL ACQUIESCE.
"Fourth: I hope that Germany will
acquiesce In the demands made and I
hope that she will acquiesce In them
without condition. She can trust the
United States to deal Justly with her
In the consideration of any changes that
she may propose In the International
rules that govern the taking of
prises. The more neneroosly she acta in
this matter the greater will be the glory
which she will derive from it She has
raised a question which Is now receiving
serious consideration namely: Whether
the Introduction of the submarine neces-
sitated any change id the rules govern
ing tne capture oi pnxes.
DECLARES GERMAN
POSITION UNTENABLE.
"The position seemingly taken by Ger
many that she is entitled to drown non
combatants because they ride with con-
traband. Is an untenable position; the
most that she could insist upon la that
In view of the addition of this new
weapon oi warfare new rule should be

jectionable cargo. If the use of the sub

BRYAN PLEA8ED AT
NEW TONE OF PRESS.'
Mr. Bryan also Issued a statement
today expressing his gratification over
what he termed a change in' the tone of
the press regarding the American note to
Germany. The statement follows:
"I am glad to note tne change oi tne
tone of the press in regard to the note to
Germany. From the time the papers
begaa to publish forecasts down to. yes-
terday the jingo editors have been pre-
dicting that the matter would be dealt
with with 'gwat firmness" that Germany
would be tola there must be no mors
delay In the acceptance of this country's
demands ate
CLAIMED COMMENT
WAS PREMATURE.
"Instead of waiting till the note was Is-
sued they put their own censtructlon
upon It in advance and colored It to suit
their own puroses. It Is a relief to And
(fee papers now emphasising the friendly
tone of the note and pointing out that It
does not necesartly mean war.
Something has been gained If the war.
rlor Journalists at last realise that the
country does not want war but that on
the eontaary it will support the president
In bis efforts to find a peaceful solution of
tbe difficult problem raised by the use of
the submarine against merchantmen."
The former secretary giving out his
formal statement .supplemented It with
the following anecdote:
jiNooiara lan""
TO PHASE PEOPLE. . ;
"A coiigi sssnisn. replying to a jingo
spexlw .rc&U7 1444 Wkifc I m per.
sonally against war I am In favor of the
country having what it wants. If the
country wants war. let it have war but
let ua first find out if the country doe
want war. If it becomes necessary to
ascertain the sentiment of the country I
suggest that a bnllot be taken; let those
who want war vote for war and those
opposed to war vote against It and let
the vote be taken with the understanding
that those voting for war will enlist for
war and that those who vote against war
will not be culled upon until after those
who want war hare exhausted their ef-
forts." "
"I still believe." added Mr. Bryan "in
the right of the people to rule and think
the congressman suggestion might In-
sure deliberate action on the part of the
voters."
Mr. Bryan was reminded of the sug-
gestion of some of his friends that in case
of war he would be one of tbe first to
enlist.
"I do not want to talk about war. but
on one occasion I enlisted to defend my
country on the first day war was de-
clared" he replied.
