Men are saying that ft™, Auk-kud-i XaTU'is y OrltlcisK, Some ‘‘News’’—Says Hardest Time is Y'et Ahead. President Wilson has given a defi nite and clear statement of the neu trality guiding his administration during the war in Europe. He chose the occasion of the annual luncheon of the Associated Press at New York for what he regarded as a statement of gravest importance to the Ameri can people. The influence of the newspaper in moulding public opinion, Mr. Wilson said, prompted him to make clear his ideas of true neutrality and in doing so to impress on his hearers the im portance of adhering strictly to truth fulness and honesty in the dissemina tion of the news. Mr. Wilson seemed to weigh each word he uttered. The Importance he attached to his statement was re flected in a request that no attempt be made to paraphrase his speech or to give it publicity until the official White House stenographer had tran scribed It in full. As the only great nation not en gaged in tho war or suffering under the Immediate influence of the war zone, Mr. Wilson declared, the United States could :.ntlclpate a great dis tinction when the hour of readjust ment should come, provided this na tion should prove to the world its seif-control and self-mastery. The past had been difficult, he pointed out. but the future would be more difficult. America, the president said, never would attempt to sit in judgment on another nation. No nation was fit to do that, ha ad dad. Bat Amarioa, froe which makes it run all Its energies from hampering ambitions as a world power, free of a lust for territory, calm, cool and without self-interest, must be appealed to to assist in the reconstructive processes of peace. The neutrality of the Uaited States. Mr. Wilson said, had a higher basts than a petty desire to keep out of trouble. The president was greeted - with sheers when he appeared at the luncheon and constantly was inter rupted by applause and eipreeeiona ef approval. “I am deeply gratified by the gen erous reception you have aecordgd me." said Mr. Wilson. “It makes me look back with a touch of regret to former occasions when I have stood la this place and enjoyed a greater liberty than Is granted me to-day There have been times when I stood In this spot and said what I really thought and I pray God that those days' of indulgence may be accorded me again. “But I have come here to-day, of course, somewhat restrained by a sense of responsibility that I can not —an abominable libel of ignorance. “America ia not all of it vocal just now. It ia vocal lu spots. But I for one have complete and abiding faith in that great silent body of Ameri cans who are not standing up and shouting and expressing their opin ions just now but are waiting to find out and support the duty of America. I am just as sure of their solidity and of their loyalty and of their unani mity, if we act justly, as I am that the history of this country has at every crisis and turning point illus trated this great lesson. “We are the mediating nation of the world. I do not mean that we .undertake not to mind eur own busi ness and-to mediate where other peo ple are quarreling. I mean the word in a broader sense: We are com- « ounded of the nations of the world. Ve mediate their blood, we mediate their traditions, we mediate their sen timents, their tastes, their passions, we are ourselves compounded of those things. ^ We are, therefore, able to understand all nations; we are able to understand them in the compound, not separately, as partlsons, but unit edly as knowing and comprehending and embodying them all. It is in that sense that I mean that America is a mediating nation. The opinion of America, the action of America is ready to turn and free to turn in any direction. “Did you ever reflect upon how al most all other nations, almost every other nation, has through long cen turies been headed in one direction? That ia not true of the United States. The United States haa no racial mo mentum. It has no history back of it and ail its ambitions in one particular direction: and America la particularly free In this, that ahe has no hamper ing ambition* as a world power. “If we have been obliged by dr- ranurtaaree, la the past, to take ter ritory which we otherwise would not have thought of taking, 1 believe I am right In saying that we have con sidered It oar duty to administer that territory, not for ourselves, bat for the people living In It, and to pat this harden upon oar coascleacee, not to think that this thing Is oars foe oar use, but to regard oarselves as trus tee* of the great business for those to whom It does really beioog, trustees ready to hand over the cosmic trust at say time, wbea the baeteees seems to make that possible and feasible. “That la what I mean by saying we have no hampering ambitions.

All other passes of Lupkow and farther east were In the hands of the enemy. “In view of this situation our armies were assigned the further task of developing, before the season of bad roads due to melting snows be gan, our position in the Carpathians which dominated the outlets into the Hungarian plains. “About the period Indicated the great Austrian forces, which had been concentrated for the purpose of re lieving Przemysl, were in a position between Lupkow and Uzsok passes. It was for this section that our grand attack was planned. Our troops had to carry out a frontal attack under very difficult Conditions of terrtain. To facilitate their attack therefore an auxiliary attack was decided on a front in the direction of Bartfeld, as far as Lupkow. “This secondary attack was open ed March 19 and was completely de veloped. “On March 23 and 28 our troops had already begun their principal at tack in the direction of Ballgrod, en veloping the enemy’s positions from west of Lupkow pass, and on the east, near the source of the San. “The enemy opposed a most des perate resistance to our offensive. They had brought up every available man on the front from the direction of Bartfeld as far an Ussok pass, in cluding even German troops and numbers of cavalrymen fighting on foot. The enemy’s effectives on this front exceeded 300 battalions. (An Austrian or German battalion num bers 1,000 men.) Moreover our troops had to overcome great nat ural difficulties st every step.” “Nevertheless by .April 5, that la, 18 days after the opening of our of fenaive—the bravery of our troops enabled , up to complete the task as signed and we had seised the prin cipal chain of the Carpathians on a front between Keghotov and Volosate of 110 verata (about 75 miles), “The fighting subsequently haa been in the nature of actions in de tail Intended to consolidate the (ac cesses we won. i "To sum up: On the whole Carpa thian front between March 19 and April 12, the enemy have suffered enormous losses and have left In our hands In priaonera alone nt least 76 009 men. Including about 900 officers. Further, we have captured 300 guns and 200 machtna guns “On April 16 the actions in the Carpathians were concentrated in the direction of Roatoiki.

There is what Is called news from Turtle bay that turns out to be falsehood; at any rate in what it is said to signify, and which, if you could get the nation to believe it true, might disturb our equilibrium and our self-possession. We ought not to deal in stuff of that kind. We ought not to permit tilings of that sort to use up the electrical energy of the wires, because its ener gy is malign, its energy is not of the truth, its energy is of mischief. It.is possible to sift through them. “I have known some things to go oul on the wires as true when there was only one man or one group -of men who could have told the origina tors of the report whether it was true or not, and they' were not asked whether it was true or not, for fear it mfght tfbt be true. That sort of report ought not to go out over the wires. "There,is generally, if not always, somebody who knows whether that thing la. so or not and in these days above all other days, we ought to take particular pains to resort to the on* small group of men Or to the one man. if there be but one, who knows whether those things are true or not.

This unstable equilibrium rests upon scales that are in your hands. • For the food of opinion, as I began by saying, is the news of the day. have known many a man go off at _ tangent on information that was not reliable. Indeed, that describes ths majority of men. The world is held stable by the man who waits for the nevt day to find out whether the re port was true or not. "We can not afford, therefore, to let the rumors of Irresponsible per sons and origin get into the atmos phere of the United States. We are trustees for what I venture to say the greatest heritage that any nation ever had the love of Justice and righteousness and human liberty, for fundamentally those are the things to which America is addicted and which she is devoted. There i_._ groups of selfish men in the United States, there are coteries where sin ister things are purported, 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 the heart of America. It is not a heart made up of sections selected out of other countries. “So. that what I try to remind my self Of every day when I am almost overcome by 'perplexities, what I try to remember is what the people at home are thinking about. I try to put myself In the plac-j of the one who does not know all the things that I know and ask myself what he would like the policy of this country to he.

There are now in France «•#,••• Preach and 209,000 Belflmn I am glad you csk that question. This is not a war of the Turkish gov ernment, but a war for the Turk ish people,” said Enver Pasha, the mpqt remarkable man in Turkey, who, ot the age of 33 years, is war minister and generalissimo of the Ot toman army, to tho Associated Press correspondent in the first interview ever given to the American press. Undoubtedly the world finds diffi culty in understanding that the Tur key of to-day is no longer the Turkey of the past, but thr.t, nevertheless, is a fact which should be apparent to all impartial observers," he continu ed. The world’s youngest commander- in-chief typifies the Young Turks in intellectual attainments and Ideals. The conversation with him was car ried on in Gorman, and besides hav ing a thorough command ot the Gor man language, he speaks excellent French. Enver Pasha would be boy ish in appearance but for a rather heayy brown mustache. Alert, frank eyes and pleasing manners make him a delightful conversationalist. When the-correspondent entered Enver Pasha shook hands cordially and said; “I am sorry to have Inept you waiting, but I am very busy all day. You have come to interview me Well, I will make an exception In your favor. I am averse to talking to men ot the press. What do you want?” "The exact reasons for Turkey par ticipating in the war.” was the re ply. “You refer, no doubt." said Enver Panha. "to the assertions in the news papers of Great Britain, France and Russia that Turkey entered tho war to help Germany. That is very true at this moment, not when we mobiliz ed. To-day Austria-Hungary and Ger many help us. we help them. But we mobilized because there was no way oat. “Long before we took this step Russia had grown ugly on the Black See and In the Cauc&sua. invading our territory there, while England had already operated against Meso potamia and had concentrated a fleot before the Dardanelles. We were un willing to start ths ball rolling, and even after the Russians attacked our fleet la the Black See we still welted one week before war was declared "Wo knew that Turkey again would be led to the slaughter block Being unwilling that this should hap pen. we took the only course open We Turks feel that we have a right to exist, especially wbea the beet of us ere straining every effort and are catching up with other countries In Intellectual and material develop ment.

"The Turkish soldier, moreover, knows how to shoot well. This is in stilling the confidence he formerly lacked.’’ To the question as to who was re sponsible for the better quality of troops, which has been so apparent, Enver Pasha replied: "When I reached the head of the army I discharged on my second day In office about 3,000 old officers, who formerly had been merely a burden on the Ottoman military establish ment Next I mada every effort to have the common soldier feel that he was part of the service, instead of the subject of it. It can hardly be be lieved the difference this made. The men now have an esprit de corps.” “How did you manage to mobilize your army of almost 2,000,000 with limited resources?” he was asked. “That was a problem, of course, but we overcame it. We had a lot of old Snider rifles ready for the junk market. These I caused to be distri buted hmong the gendarmie, taking from’ them their modern rifles. There was formerly a large gendarmerie force in Turkey,” explained Enver Pasha, smilingly: "now it is not' so great, we do not need it. So we arm ed many men with rifles. To-day, every man at the front is well arm ed.” Replying to questions as to the present status of tho campaign the generalissimo said: “Conditions In the Caucasus are more satisfactory. Regarding the situation in the Dardanelles I will say we hre fully eftnfldent that it has been demonstrated that fighting the forts there will be a huge task for the allies. But even should that happen, we would still be masters of the sit uation there by means of howitzers, mines and a fleet.

But the export of arms and ammunition fi)om the Unit ed States to the EntentO powers can have but one result—useless killing. Turkey, like Germany and Austria- Hungary, is determined to win this war and there is every indication that we will.’* Speaking of Turkey after the war Enver Pasha said: "Turkey will emerge from this war truly united and stronger than ever. The war is popular with the people now, because it has given the gov ernment an opportunity to demon str&te that it takes an Interest ib the people and is for the people. “We called everybody able to aerve arms, with the reeult that we got more than we needed. Many of the surplus men are now building roads. The war has brought together, under a superior class ot officers, two mil lion men. and the schooling given them is bound to result in good. “What I have said possibly will have no Influence; that ia the reason why so far I have refused to be inter viewed.” The correspondent ventured the opinion that everything haa some In fluence. replying to which Enver Pasha said: “God grant It will.

The alertness with which Italy's every move now is followed in Lon don indlcstea the high Importance at tached to efforts to bring Italy to the fighting line. One of the main rea sons advanced for this desire to In clude Italy in the partnership of the allies is that in no other way is it possible to close so effectually the door through which supplies still are reaching the Teutonic combatants in considerable amount. A case in point is the confiscation by Swiss authorities, announced in Geneva Monday, of a carload of ma chine guns of American mannfacture which was on the way to Germany from Genoa.
