FOR OVER A MONT
NOT A SHOT FIRED
PETROGRAD. May 4.—For over
a month not a shot has been tired
along the Austro-Russtan and Ger
man Russian front. The soldiers
on both sides are fraternizing un
armed in “no man's land’’ between
the trenches. The soldiers are work
up wild demonstrations for peace
and demand the resignation of the
Foreign Minister.
It is believed that the govern
ment will be able to control the si
tuation.
PETROGRAD. May -t.—The fear
that an agreement with Germany
and Austria may result in the re
storation eventually of the Tzar ami
the Bureaucracy if the Kaiser domi
nates Germany, is all that appears
to be witholding the masses from
making a separate peace. On this
subject they are divided unless
proper guarantees can be given.
There is a strong demand for a
more democratic government in
Germany before peace can be con
sidered.
LONDON', May 4.—Lord Curzon
in a statement made today dealing
with the submarine situation which
he said was a menace unquestiona
bly to the safety of Great Britain,
said that compulsory rationing
would be inevitable and the subma
rines would not affect the ultimate
results of the Svar. He concluded
bis statement by declaring frankly
that the Russian situation was a |
source of anxiety to the government I
and could easily he worse than it
was now.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 3-4—
Unofficial reports as to the tonnage
sunk in the war zone by the Ger
man U boats are appalling. These
reports are given credence by rea
son of the fact that in the estimates
issued today by the government for
submarine chasers and merchant
tonnage to replace those destroyed,
they are quoted.
The Germans are creditted with
destroying a million and a half tons
monthly, and to cope with this si
tuation American yards must turn
out two hundred thousand tons
each month or the Entente will be
cut oft by the ocean.
LONDON, May 3-4.—The reports
of the tonnage sunk by the subma
rines shows such a huge figure for
the past month that it is regarded
as incredible. What makes it so
hard to believe upon the part of the
British people is mainly because the
tonnage of arrivals and departures
is now greater in every prominent
port at the present time than in
fifteen months. This peculiar dis
crepancy is accounted for by the
fact that actually during March
more ships arrived and cleared than
in March 1916, in spite of the
greater number which were sunk.
That the British are making ex
traordinary efforts to cope with
these ships is admitted.
LONDON, May 3-4.—The new
type of German super-submarine is
three hundred and fifty feet long,
has a very high speed and only
four have been sunk or captured
within the past week. The ordinary
size averaged 170 feet long.
SENATOR STONE CAUSED
SENSATION IN SENATE
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 3-4—
Senator Stone in a statement today
in the senate caused something of
a sensation when in a discussion
on the food question and the power
of the Food Controller, said that he
had indisputable evidence that the
cold storage plants are destroying
food right along in storage and buy
ing up crops which are being left to
rot in the field in order to maintain
prices and keep up their profits.
He advocates the seizure of all
cold storage plants throughout the
nation, and the creation of govern

ment plants or the government ope

The most important political move
ment on now is to eliminate the cen
sorship provision from the espion
age bill which is regarded to be
giving the President too much
power. The clause practically pro
hibits any criticism of the adminis
tration at all, and conveys more
power than is enjoyed by the gov
ernment of either Great Britain or
France. There is a positive tend
ency to eliminate this clause.
WASHINGTON. D. C., May 4.—
The censorship clause in the spy
bill was modified substantially and
the spy bill passed the senate. It
will probably pass the House now
as modified.
BERLIN, May 4.—The General
Staff announced that the British to
day began a heavy attack upon a
very wide front. They were press
ing very heavily upon the German
positions after a fierce bombard
ment.
LONDON, May 4.—Haig reports
that heavy fighting has been re
sumed by the British all aiong their
liius but the maximum intensity
was reached at the Scarpe river
where the British commander re
ports the battle is “proceeding fav
orably to the British.”

sterious aeroplane hovered over the
business section of the city this
afternoon, but no one (41111(1 identify
the mysterious visitor from the air
which later departed. It was be
lieved that this was a military
plane merely exercising, but this
could not be verified.
BERLIN, May 4.—The French
are making a violent attack in the
Cerny district where the German
attacks were directed some itme
I ago in an effort to get a favorable
i position.
PARIS, May 4.—The success or
I French operations in the Chani
I pagne district is officially stated in
i the evening’s communique and
heavy fighting upon the part of the
British in North France is also re
ported.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4.— :
The French Commission en route to !
Chicago visited the House at noon j
today and there was a scene of wild- j
est enthusiasm for the visitors who
seemed greatly to appreciate the re- j
ception which greeted them. The'
cheering continued for several mi
nutes and so sudden was th< out
burst that it almost seemed to em
barrass the visiting commissioners.
They will look over tlie food and
provision situation in Chicago.
It is not likely that they will
make a very prolonged stay in the
Middle West and they are likely to
soon return. The officials refuse
to talk on the war situation ac
all.
