NEWS REVIEW OF
THE PAST WEEK
British Again Smash Germans'
East of Ypres and Capture
Important Positions.
ENEMY'S MORALE IS BREAKING
Austria's Warning to the Allies Re
peated Air Raids on London Final
ly Determine England on Re.
prlsats America's War
Tax Bill Now Law.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Field Marshal Hulg begun bis week
ly forward movement ns usual on
Thursdny, tho advance being again In
tho district east of Ypres on a lino
that seriously threatens Prince llup
recht's communications with Ostend
and Zeebrugge. This snllent of tho
British front has been giving the CJer
ninns much anIety, and all the llrst
part of Uio week they directed at It
furious though futllo attacks that
proved very costly.
By Saturday tho British offensive
hod developed Into one of tho most
pretentious yet undertaken nnd prom
ised to result in n victory unequalled
since the battle of the Marne. On u
nine-mile front Ilalg's troops rushed
forward for about a mile nnd n half,
nnd gained possession of many Ger
man strongholds, including tho rldgo
between I'usschenduele and Zonne
beke. Great "numbers of Germans
surrendered.
Tho allies doubtless hope to cut In
between tho submarine bnscs and tho
main German army, but according to
the belief of well-informed army men,
It is not their Intention to force tho
Germans back over any very wide
area, because tho territory they Would
be forced to abandon would first be de
vastated. Bather do tho allies plan to
demoralize tho enemy with tho contin
uous bombardment by guns of jill cull
bcrs to which they liavo been sub
jecting them of late1 nnd most of
Ilnlg's advances nro mnde for the pur
pose of gaining possession of com
manding positions, from which tlds
terrific gunfire may be directed. That
, the morale of tho German soldiers nl;
ready is beginning to break down is
evidenced by their rcndlness to surren
der nnd tho complaints of some divi
sions when ordered back to tho front
after a rest
Germans Short of Shells.
Reports from tho front during tho
artillery duel that preceded tho Thurs
day advance wcro that tho British fired
twenty or moro shells for every ono
that came from tho Germans. Tho al
lies' supply of munitions Is nt)v unlim
ited, nnd thero Is good renson to bo
Hove that tho Germans nro running
short of shells nnd guns, owing part
ly to reduced productivity cnused by
tho poor food of the workmen, nnd
partly to n shortngo of certain metals.
Tho denlnl of General Schuech, tho
kaiser's new minister of munitions,
thnt thero la nny such shortage, Is not
convincing. Copenhagen dispatches
sny tho leaders of German labor
groups wcro called to main nrmy head
quarters n few days ago, not to celo
brnto Von ITIndcnburg's birthday, ns
was Intimated, but to discuss plnns for
Bpecdlng up tho production of muni
tions. Probably It was necessary, also,
to take steps to nppeaso tho workmen
of Essen nnd their wives, who held n
riotous meeting recently, demanding
penco and better food.
In Frankfort, too, an immenso penco
meeting wns held on Sundny, but that
was engineered by political groups,
nnd thercforo may not hnvo been bo
Indlcntivo of the sentiment of tho peo
ple. Czernln Warns the Allies.
In tho way of penco movements, tho
most Important event of the week was
tho speech of Count Czernln, Austro
Hungarian minister of foreign affairs,
In which ho threatened that unless the
allloa speedily consented to a pence
"iviuutm ut uiu auimiii'HL' mission reviewing tiie West I'olnt cadets.
without annexations or Indemnities,
Austria-Hungary would revise Its pro
gram nnd demnnd compensation for
further costs of war. He sold ids
country had proved that It was per
fectly sound and could not be over
thrown by force of nrms, nnd conse
quently wns In position simultaneously
with Its allies to lay aside nrms and
regulate conllicts by arbitration. Austria-Hungary
certainly seems Just now
to be more united against the Idcn of
n separate peace, det.plto the feeling
of the Croats and other of Its peoples,
nnd foreign correspondents warn tho
United States that neither Bulgaria
nor Turkey Is likely to separate Itself
from Germany ; they must be whipped
together or not at all.
Count Cr.ernln's bold words are
scarcely supported by the develop
nientK on the Austro-Itallan front, for
though the Austrlnns have been hang
ing on desperately to the edge of the
Rnlnslzzl plateau and making repeated
attacks to recover lost ground, tho
Italians hnve not yielded nn Inch.
There were indications that Cadornri
wns about ready for n renewal of his
offensive, nnd that the enemy expect
this wns shown by the rushing west
ward of largo numbers of Austrian
nnd German troops from Bukowlnn
and Boumanln.
Kcrensky Plan Voted Down.
If only Russia were In condition to
take advantage of this troop move
ment, It might accomplish much. But
Russia Is still struggling with Its In
ternal affairs, nnd only In tho Riga
sector are Its soldiers showing any
disposition to fight. Up there they
pushed the Germans bnck In several
plnces. Meanwhile, Premier Kercnsky
Is hnvlng desperate 'trouble In estab
lishing n firm government. Ho np
peared before tho democratic congress
nnd used very plnln, even defiant lan
guage, which at first had Its effect In
a vote approving n coalition cabinet.
lint next day the Bolshcvlklsts and
other extremists gained control of the
gathering nnd voted down tho plan.
To add to the perplexities of tho pro
visional government, n serious revolt
broke out In Turkestan.
Tho nllles nro following tho lead of
America In cutting off supplies from
Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Uol
Innd, tho nctlqn determined on being
not Joint but uniform. Lust week
Grent Brltnln extended tho principle
heretofore followed by prohibiting tho
unlicensed exportation to those coun
tries of ull articles except printed mat
ter nnd personnl effects.
Air Raids to Bring Reprisals?
Repeatedly last week the German
air lleets raided London nnd the towns
nnd countryside of Kent und Essex.
Flock after Hock of grcut nlrplnhes
flew across nnd dronned their londs of
bombs, killing n few clvlllnns nnd do
ing somo dnrango to property. Not
mnny of tho dendly missiles fell on
London, for tho anti-aircraft guns put
up n barrage fire that ringed tho city.
Theso raids roused the pcoplo nnd
press of Englnnd to renewed demands
for reprlsnls, and tho government
seems to he ready at last to yield to
the demnnd, for Premier Lloyd-Georgo
sniu to n crowd of poor people In tho
southwest district of London who
clnmored for revenge: "Wo will glvo
it all back to them, and we will give It
to them soon. We shall bomb Germany
With cninnnnnri Intnrnsf " Tim n-
'mnns themselves nro expecting ro-
prisnlsand nro removing to plnces of
snfety the art treasures of cities that
arc believed to bo within reach of tho
British airmen.
Tho French, less squeamish than the
British havo been, mado reprisal raids
on a number of towns Inst week, fn
eluding Stuttgnrt, Baden, Frankfort
nnd Coblenz. This wus In return for
tho bombing of Dunkirk nnd Bnr-le-'
Due. Though somo of tho plnces at
tacked by tho French nvlntnr nro
open towns, tho Immediate objectives
of tho raids wcro military establish
ments, nnd tho results wcro good.
Tho British merchant vessels sunk
by submarines wcro fewer than In nny
week 8lnco tho opening of unrestricted
U-boat warfare, but nmong.tho vic
tims of tho submcrslbles wns tho
British cruiser Drake, which wns tor
pedoed off tho Irish coast and sunk In
shallow water. Ono ofllcer nnd 18 men
wcro killed by tho explosion.
Another romantic story of sea war
fare comes from Samoa In tho ex
ploits of the crew of the German com
merce raider Seeadler, after their
vessel stranded on a South Pacific
Island. The master and six others put
to sea in n 1110W sloop armed and
provisioned, nnd the others seized a
Frf-nch schooner, equipped It with guns
and bombs and started out again.
Since that time they have been prey
ing on merchant vessels.
Curbing the German Preos.
The trading with the enemy act
went Into effect Tuesday und almost
Immediately Postmaster Burleson
barred from the malls tho .Milwaukee
Lender, former Congressman Berger's
paper, for seditious und treasonablo
utterances. Many other publications
have been cited by the post otlice de
partment to show cause why they
should not bo suppressed, among these
being the Illinois Stuuts-Zeltung.
On Thursday federal agents raided
the olllce of the New .Jersey Frelo
Zeltung In Newark and arrested Its
two proprietors and throe editors on
charges of publishing seditious and
treasonable articles.
In connection with the trial In Paris
of Bolo Pasha, alleged spy, It Is re
vealed that Bolo, who was In tho
United Stutes for a few weeks early
last year, arranged the transfer of ut
least $1,000,000 of German uey
through New York bunking houses to
Purls to further the peace propaganda
in Frahce. It Is olllclally slated that
thero Is no doubt oft Count on Bern
storff's complicity In the Intrigue.
More than one-hnlf of the 100 I. W.
W. leaders who wcro Indicted have
been arrested and the government If
ready to put them on trial.
War Tax Bill Signed.
President Wilson slimed tlu war im
bill Wednesday, and most of Its 'sec
tions became operative at once auto
matically. It levies for this jonr more
thnn $2,500,000,000 now tuxes for war
purposes and In one way or another
calls for money from everybody In
the country. The two largest sources
of revenue will he excess profits, $1,
000,000,000, and Individual and corpor
ate Incomes, ?8rl,000,000.
Tho soldiers' and snllors' Insurance
hill, which wus passed by the senate,
carries tin amendment promoting Ma
jor General Pershing and Major Gen
eral Bliss to the rank of general und
making all commanders of army corps
lieutenant generals. Tho bill to re
patriate all Americans who have
Joined tho allied military forces also
wus sent to tho president for his sig
nature. The shipping board gave out a state
ment last week showing thut u largo
number of vessels urc being built nnd
within n few weeks tho concrete re
sults of tho board's energetic work
will begin to slide down the ways In
many shipyards. Tho aircraft build
ing program also Is well' under way,
Secretary Baker stating that 20,000
airplanes and their motors nre now
under construction.
Liberty Loan Going Well.
Under tho competent leadership of
Secretary of tho Treasury McAdoo,
the dumpalgn for tho salts' of thoisec
ond Liberty lonn, of $3,000,000,000,
sturted olt with a rush, and the en
thusiasm and determination of the peo
ple mudc tho success of tho loan un
doubted. Thero wns lust ono blnek
spot In all the country tho action of
Mrs. II. O. Havemeyer of New York
and other ofllclnls of tho National
Womun's party In advising women not
to assist tho loan because they have
not been given natlonul suffrage. The
Maryland suffragists camo back at
them with a scathing denunciation, de
claring thnt they bad descended to
political bribery, had disgraced tho
numo of woman nnd wcro "mud sisters
of La Follette."
Tho senate has been flooded with
petitions from nil parts of tho land,
rrom organizations; nnd Indlvidunls,
nsklng thnt-Scnntor La Folletto bo ex
pelled for his dlsloynlty und many of
tho petitioners suggest much boverer
punishment thnn mere expulsion. At
first tho senate committee on priv
ileges nnd elections wus dlsclncllned
to tuko any action at this session, but
tho universal demand evidently had
Its effect for on Wednesday tho com
mltteo began consideration of the petitions.

"The use of baking powder breads made of corn and other coarse flours instead of
patent wheat flour is recommended by the Conservation Division of the Food
Administration. The wheat needed for export is thus conserved, and at the name
time healthful food for our own people is provided. The circulation of recipes, pro
viding for these uses would be of assistance in carrying out our plans."
