Looms Unless America Acts at Once. ' Washington, May 3. Five million men must be lent to the battle front by the United State within a year, Senator McComber of North Dakota, declared today in an addrew to the lenate, which reviewed America's first year in the war.'. , The results, of America' efforts have been almost negligible up to the present, , it said. Six months have been wasted by the shipping board nd $640,000,COO for aircraft "has been worse than squandered." "If we fail to put 5,000,000 men on die fighting line before the end of an ther year," he continued, "we will igain have grossly failed to measure "ip to our moral duty. We will .have . ;harged to ruf discredit another year f colossal Sunders." , Senator McCumber asserted that ahat we had lacked most was the foresight and determination to get up tnd be doing, "when the flying sparks of that great world.wsr threatened to . produce conflagration that might force ns bn the firing line." N ' Scores Shipping Board. - , "We ieem to have gotten to be wildered in maze of little things that we haw lost sight of the great requlrement-j,1! he laid. "The failure si our shipping board is the most ag gravating example of failure" to grasp t big situation. . Unparalleled national extravagance , was another reason, of failure, he con- , tended. ;' ' . - . . : "We nave been literally burning up t'-.e money which the taxpayers nave . cheerfully paid to create and support l fighting army," he charged. "While re can't win this war without buying Liberty bondi, neither can we win it ty making bonfires of the money re teived from Liberty bondi." -, The bluster of the publie press, he taid, which has greatly exaggerated everything in our favor, had been n ether factor in the delay. JJNPBEPABBDNESS' TO PROLONG WAR, ASSERTS BHITON . London, ifay 3. "The war is likely to last a long time yet," said General Sir William K. Robertson, ex-chief of lenerll staff, speaking here today. "How long t will last no sane man " would dare to estimate. One of the , reasons why the war was not finished long ago is that we were unprepared for it when it began, while the en-. - etny'had been preparing for year, We now are paying the penalty ofr that tmpreparedncss, whicn in the past has caused countries to become bankrupt or ruined.

JARDINE SERBIA' FAITHFUL DESPITEHUN BAIT German Plots and Peace Offers , Have No Influence With V Serbs Who Stand With Allies. Corfu, May 3. Serbia vemains faithful to the cause of the entente allies despite German intrigue and tn offer of the German government to conclude peace, declared Premier Pashitch in a "declaration of Serbia's foreign policy," read at the opening of the Serbian Parliament "More than a year ego?' Pashitch said, "Germany began to see the im possibility of defeating its enemies by military force alone, and to see that it must , have recourse to other means. It ' then decided to make the most energetic use of clandestine channels to dis organize as speedily as possible the power and cohesion of its enemies. It carried on intrigues, employing different methods, according to the countries for which it intended them. ' "All these, intrigues were, clothed in fine language and expressed humani tarian ideals, by means of which the enemy was spreading monarchists ideas in republics and republican ideas S monarchies, recommending In imocratie countries a military re gime and in 'autocracies democratic, republican or anarchistic ideas. All this had only one object to provoke internal disorders and discord be tween the allies. ' , Russia is a Victim, "In all allied countries the effect of these secret machinations have been felt, but nowhere, have they suc ceeded so well as in Russia, judging from effects, it is impossible to deny that theRussian revolution has been tainted by German influence and has only been' useful up to the present to Germany. ' "Austria-Hungary recently has in tensified its intrigue and calumnies sgslnst thef Serbian people, and against King Peter and the Serbian government. It has but one object, to shake the faith of the allies in Serbia, to destroy the national unity, and by means of our dissensions to insure the conquest of Serbia. v' True to Allies. But our people . know Austria Hungary too well to lend themselves hglieve these lying words. Serbia remains faithful. It has given up air that it had and could give. At present, with the little forces that remain to it, it can only stay faith fully at the side of the allies, never forgetting that Austria-Hungary oro- voked this war with the 'object of de stroying Serbia. "The appearance of America in the theater of war has filled up the gap caused by the - Russian withdrawal, and the armed forces of our allies are considerable more than those of the enemy as regards both men and ma terial Their organization has been improved and there is complete agree ment on all occasions. Serbia ean therefore be certain that sacrifice will not be in vain and that its ideals will be realized if it continues to give in the future tokens of its military and civic virtues and if it remains safe, as hitherto, from in trigues which aim at destroying its concord and unity in the defense of he interests of our people." , Sheeri Industry Doomed Unless Methods Changed Washington, May 3.
