NO NEED TO WAVE

Lloyd George Uses Phrase Be.
ferring to Entrance of
U. S. Into War.
rOOD PROBLEM IS BIGGEST
London, April 27. In an important
speech at the Guild lull today. Pre
mier Lloyd George discussed the mil
itary situation, the Irish auestion and
other of the major problem! with
which the government is now en
gaged. .
In referring to the subiea menace
and the food problem, the premier
said: "
"There is no doubt we nave lost
many ships, but they brought Amer
ica in and I am perfectly satisfied
with the balance. America, after great
patience, came to the conclusion there
u no Use of waving a neutral flag
in the teeth of a shark and it is def
initely with us -to put down tB is men
ace once for all."
Real Chance to Fight.
After alluding to the organization
of the ministry of munitions, the pre
mier aaid:
"Now, thank God, our men have' a
' real chance in the fight. The story
now it different from what it was in
, the early stages of.. th war. Before
r June, 1915, we loaf eighty-four guns
and a considerable number of prison-
ers. Since that date we have not
: lost i single gun, while we have cap
', tured 400. Regarding prisoners, we
I have taken at least ten to one. The
: tide has now turned. Victory is com
, ing increasingly nearer, That it the
i explanation of the despair which has
, j driven them to black piracy on the
high seat.
Food Problem Biggest.
' "This is the next job we have to
' deal with. Our minimum problem it
; to feed population of 45,000,000 in t
country which it not self-supporting.
. 'to provide the necessary material and
- food to-equip our armies and keep the
teat free . for the transport of the
troops of ourselves ana our allies.
That hat had to be done against the
(warm of pirates moving unseen un-
. der the trackless seas, since the Ger
, mans determined to sink all craft in
discriminately without warning. -
"The best brains of America and
Britain ire concentrated on this
probiem, There never was a human
problem- which was not soluble, and
. I believe this is no exception to the
rule."- - ' v . '
Dealing with the effort to make the
country self-supporting, the premier
' ' airi ftnarantMi n tbp farmer anft th

,- "1 lo not tay that the war it go
ing to continue through 1918," Mr.
Lloyd George went on, "but it the
German knew that by holding out un.
- til the end of 1918 he could win, he
would hold out. If he knows that
; the longer he holdt out the worse it
' will be for. him peace will cpme much
"' earlier." "' '". . .
, The nriemer said plana were being
made for the 'harvest of 1918, which
: would guarantee that without a ton
if of foodstuffs coming from abroad nb
' one would starve. But the country
must help in -husbanding foodstuffs.
Settle Irish Question Now,
"We mutt convert Ireland from a
suspicious, surly, dangerous neighbor
, to a cheerful, loyal comrade. Settle

for tht.peace of the world and essen

PLOT TO CALL STRIKES
New York, April 25. Franz vpn
Rintelen, alleged German "master
spy," and seven Americans accused
of having conspired to institute
strikes in munitions plants were
brought before the federal court to
day for trial. ,
The other defendants are David La
mar. known as "the wolf of Wall

Illinois, former Attorney General
Frank S. Monnett of Ohio, Henry B.
Martin, a Washington lobbyist, and
Herman Schultcis and Jacob C. Tay
lor. They are taid to have operated
through the medium of a "labor's na
tional peace council."
Counsel for Rintelen sought delay
on the plea tht hit client will be un
able to obtain fair trial now, a the
jury will look upon him at an enemy.
Judge Cushman overruled this objec
tion, as he did also a plea by the
other defendants, that as "loyal
American citizens they should not oe
forced to ttand trial with an alien
enemy."

to me it would demortlize the irmy

Conscript, Wealth Alio.
Senator Kenyon read figures to
show enormoui increases in the in
comes of corporations affected by
the war and added:
"I want to say that while I am vot
ing for conscription of men, I am go
ing to vote later on for conscription of
the great incomes of this country. In
mv iiida-ment every income above
C100.000 should be commandeered or
conscripted for the beneht ot tne gov
ernment to carry on this war. That
proposition is going to come up be
fore we get through with the tax bill.
Senator McCumber declared that

men would not win the war for the
United States if the submarines were
not overcome. t

THE BEE:
GREAT COUNTER
ATTACK FAILS
Desperate Efforts Made by
Germans to Drive Britons
from Captured Posts.
TEUTON LINE IS MENACED
tDy A-wlatad Freei.)
Desperate efforts of the Germans
to drive the British from the cap
tured heights on the Arras front have
failed after four days of the bitterest
fighting that the world has seen since
the bloody days of Verdun.
Military critics expect the attacks
will be renewed if the German matt
power can ttand the awful drain, at
the retention by General Haig of the
hills crowning the plain of Douai
spells almost certain doom to the
votan line, the last protecting'bar
rier between Douai and Cambrai.
French Critic Analyze! Gains.
Paris, April 27. Under the caption,
Whv We Attacked." a writer in the
Matin points out that before the pres
ent forward movement began the
German man undoubtedly waa to es
cape from the grasp of the allies. He
continues:
'To frustrate this Man the French
and British widened the frontiOf their
attack so as to overlap the front on
which the Germans were retreating.
The result was that the enemy found
both his wmgt involved, ne decided
to fight on the first line, and the
French plan was altered to suit.
"The result of the first and tecond
days' fighting was that the German
lost fully 100,000 men, and, what was
more important, were obliged to en
gage thirty-three out of their fortv
three reserve divisions. The dearly
bought but valuable results of the
Aisne and Champagne operations
are thus: , , ,
First, the enemy was prevented
from carrying out hit own plant thus
disposing of the famous Hindenburg
scheme, which was to be followed on
the conclusion of the retreat from
Novon: second, the enemy was
obliged to order his troopi to hold
out on the lirst line, but the whole line
has been captured, a tactical success,
to which must be added heavy losses
in men, material and guns."
French Official Report. .

War Time Bread Will
Keep Fresh Much Longer
New York, Apri' 27. In response
to the suggestion of official Washing
ton that everything possible be done
to conserve the nation's food supply,
the Hotel Martinique has placed on
itt menu a special kind of bread that
represents a saving of wheat flour. It
haa been named "Martinique Old
Glory Bread," and it is said to be
even more nutritious than the ordi
nary bread,
Julea Biron. French chef, says a
similar kind of bread is being eaten
now throughout France.
He gives the recipe as follows:
Four ounces rye flour, twelve ounces
whole wheat, three pounds white
flour, one quart water, oue-half ounce
yeast, one ounce salt.
Besides containing more nutriment,
this war-time bread will keep much
longer. It can be kept at least a
week without getting stale and it t
really at its best several days after it
is baked.
