CLAIM
GERMANS
LONDON, May 14.—The Official
Press Bureau makes public a Wai
Department statement that the Ger
man loss on the west front is two
hundred thousand men killed,
wounded and missing from April 1 6
to May 1 and the “loss for the two
■weeks since May 1 will he propor
tionately greater”.
If these figures are even approx
imately correct, this is a record
loss on any froct in the war within
such a given time.
I’ETROGRAD, May 11.—Six hund
red thousand German troops have
been withdrawn from the Russian
front and hurried to France, ac
cording to statements published In
the Petrograd press today.
PARIS, May 14.—The situation
in the west is occasioning no con
cern although German reports con
tain the information that von Hin
denberg is preparing for the great
est effort of the war, this time
against the British in the west.
The British, on the other hand,
have recently increased their field
force* in reserve for every emer
gency and their supply of shells and
other munitions now In France Is
literally inexhaustible. The terrific
bombardment reported yesterday
still continues. It is next to im
possible for any great offensive to
be launched through this barrage
fire, and the Germans must first
silence tlie British guns before any
such an attempt is made. As the
British are using longer ranged and
higher powered field guns titan any
nation now, this is a difficult work
^ to achieve.
JELLICOE GETS
CHIEF NAVAL STAFF
LONDON, May 14.—What is un
doubtedly due to the demand for a
more efficient naval program result
ed in the appointment of Admiral
Jellicoe as Chief of Naval Staff. No
one knows whether this is a promo
tion or a reduction in rank for Jelli
coe who was first Sea Lord of the
Admiralty. It is also intimated that
younger blood will replace the
“young” Admiral Beatty whose Jut
land naval battle is not regarded
with satisfaction at all in some ex
pert circles, but who is said to have
great influence with the govern
ment.
The agitation for better coping
with the diver menace persists not
withstanding the declarations of the
government officials that they have
the situation very well in hand and
that there is no questioning the fact
that they are getting the upper
hand of the U boats. In many
circles it is believed that the Ger
man capital ships are now about
ready to strike a deadly blow at
Great Britain.
LONDON, May 14.—Anti-aircraft
guns attacking a Zeppelin raid,
winged a super-Zeppelin off the
North Sea bringing the giant air
ship to the waters where it slowly
sank. The destruction of this giant
Zeppelin brings the total destroyed
since the war began to 39. It is re
garded here that this marks the
final effort of the Zepps to do any
damage to Great Britain. The last
few raids ended disastrously.

"The Lost Pa
radise". H. B.
Warner, the emi
■ nent dramatic fa.
vorite, makes his
first appearance
t before the motto
* picture public In
"The Lost Paradise.” This play is
concededly the greatest drama of
capita] and labor ever written, and
was adapted from the German ori
ginal by the late Henry C. DeMille,
collaborator in the famous Belasco
DeMille plays. "The Lost Paradise”
is a powerful pictorial argument in
behalf of the oppressed laborers
whose lives build the wealth of na
tions, whose tears are crystallized
in the jewels of the rich. The in
spiration of the original play was
suggested by the army of tired toll
ers who spin blindly on in the dark.

Who Pays? Feature Episode.
This situation, which before the
war would have been hooted by
John Bull, today is faced clamly.
Measures have been taken looking
towards the development of the al
ready established business of mak
ing clogs.
To quote the Textile Mercury, of
Manchester on the subject:
Hundreds of London school child
ren are now wearing clogs, which
cost about 3 shillings a pair (73
cents) and London County Council
school- teachers have been provid
ing clogs for ill-shod pupils, who
have been paying for them by week
ly installments of 3 pence.
The price of leather, states a
writer in the paper mentioned, sug
gests that the city man of the fu
ture will clatter to business in his

clogs. “For country wear one can
buy an elegant pair of lace-up
clogs at a quarter the price ot
equally efficient boots.” Apart from
the attention that they would at
tract, there is no reason why these
should not be worn In. "town."
There is nothing undignified In the
clog worn by the Lancashire or
Yorkshire textile worker. Not a few
of the i aptains of the textile indus
try have themselves worn clogs,
and some at least would not be
ashamed to wear them again.
The present home demand is so
great that an order for 100,000
pairs of sabots for the Belgian gov
ernment has just had to be declined
by a British clog making firm.

OXMAN MUST STAND
ANSWER THE CHARGE
SAX FRANCISCO, May 14.—The
stay in the execution of the sen
tence of Thos. Mooney, sentenced to
be hanged on May 17, having been
convicted in connection with the
bombing of the Preparedness Para
de in San Francisco last summer, is
practically the prelude to the direc
tion for a new trial. In the same
manner today the Court of Appeals
handed down a decision which as
sures that Oman and the rest. oC
the frame up gang will have to lell
all they know.
This ruling occurred on the peti
tion by Oxman for a writ of habeas
corpus, Oxman having been taken
into custody by a court order to an
swer the charge of framing up evid
ence against Mooney and others.
The district attorney did not
wish to press the case against Ox
man and it was expected that in de
fault of this the Court of Appeals
would let the writ go to Oxman.
Nothing of the kind was permit
ted. In a very peremptory word
ing, the Court declares that no writ
is permissible to Oxman, but that
he must answer to the Superior
Court on the charge of “framing”
testimony against Mooney.
This decision was rendered late
this afternoon.
It comes as no surprise to the
lawyers or the public, although to
the prosecution officials it is so sur
prising that evidently sow thing
like consternation reigns among
them this evening.

LAFOLETTE IS NOT
HEARD IN SENATE
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14.—
Senator Lafollette was the man who
held the floor against the adminis
tration supporters in the Senate to
day in a bitter and protracted de
bate upon the Espionage bill against
which in introducing his amendment
restricting the President’s embargo
power Lafollette made one of the
most eloquent speeches ever heard
in Congress and in w'hat appeared
to be a spontaneous effort. Sub
jected however to continuous inter
ruptions and inattention, Lafollette
saw that his amendment was bound
to be defeated but he hardly expect
ed that it would have met the tre
mendous majority of opposition
which overwhelmingly voted it
down.
Before there was any chance ot
further amendments being sprung,
the majority party swung in a vote
on the Espionage Bill passing, tak
ing its opponents off their feet ana
carrying the vote right through.
Thereupon the bill passed by an
overwhelmingly majority and will
f
now have a chance oi' being, con
verted into law.
The Lafollette amendment curbed
in every way the President’s power
and the plea of the senator from
Wisconsin was that it gave the ex
ecutive too much power, and power
which the Congress had no right
to surrender from its own hands.
The debate at one time took on
the. nature of a strong discussion
upon the constitutional law points
which were involved.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14.—
Congressional opinion now leans to
wards authorizng President Wilson
to take control of all the food stuffs
in the country.
Unquestionably congressional ac
tion will soon take place authoriz
ing the position of food controller
which Hoover is now holding in an
unofficial way. Hoover will un
doubtedly be appointed. This Am
c-riean engineer’s experienees, gain
ed under such difficulties in Bel
gium will be of great use in Amer
ica where however his work will bo
much more complicated if not so
difficult as in Belgium where short
age of supplies was the main
diflicult with which he hd to con
tend against.
Hoover is universally admitted to
be the proper man for the task.
The food situation is not very
reassuring just now.
PREACHER WAS SOME
MAN KILLER HIMSELF
I
DES MOINES, la., May 14.—
Reverend M. J. Kelly, an itinerant
preacher of Sulton, Nebraska was
arrested for the murder of eight
persons with an axe in Villisca,
Iowa, in 1P12. The brutal murder
was one of the sensations of the
year and the discovery of the
discovery of the murderer one of
murdered one of the great mysteries
that kept detectives on the trail
all that time until the present.
So terrific is the feeling against
Kelly for these murders yet, that he
had to be brought here for safety,
it being feared by the county au
thorrities that an attempt would bo
made to lynch him by relatives and
friends of his victims.
