5,000,000 MEN TO
FROM TO SAVE
U. S. FACE IN WAR
Senator McCumber Declares
:j Another Year of Colossal
Blunders . 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. ' But we have no intention
of becoming bankrupt or ruined."

Washington, May 3. Every one of
the 5.C0O officere on duty in the War

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. Unless the
sheen Indus trv of the TTnitM St....
adjusts itself to the changed economic
condition of the day,-production will
continue to decline in the proportion
it has1 in the past, in the opinion of
the committee on statistics and stand
ard of the Chamber 6f Commerce of
the United States, which has com
pleted an investigation of the indus
try. . ;
The principal remedies suggested
in the committee report are the use
for sheep grazing of the agriculturally
worthless and cheap cut-over timber
lands of the country, the more general
sud systematic raising of sheep on the
farms and continued use of the great
ranges of the west to their full capacity.'.-,
