GERMANS CONGENTRATEING
BIG FLANDERS OFFENSIVE
PARTS, May 22.—The German?
are now concentrating in Flanders
in large numbers with the evident
intention of forcing an offensive
■before the Allies are ready to
launch anything of the kind.
Sharp thrusts were made at the
Ypres Canal where the Germans
however were repulsed with con
siderable loss.
Airmen report that back of the
first line the Germans are coming
up in large numbers with every
available train loaded with troops. It
is believed that a lunge upon Calais
is now intended.
PARIS, May 22.—The Germans
after continuous fighting all day
Sunday and Sunday night finally

SHIPPING BILL PASSES
HOUSE LARGE MAJORITY
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 21.—
Although the debate was con
tinuous and traught with unusual
vehemence, bitterness and anima
tion, the shipping bill carried in the
House by a handsome majority.
The large majority quite sur
prised the administration. Several
of the republican members voted
against their own party in favor of
the hill.
It is stated that Wilson will not
do any campaigning, even If he Is
nominated by his party to succeed
himself. That is unless the attacks
upon his administration become too
serious to ignore.
This is said to be an inducement
to the republicans not to nominate
Roosevelt because If they do it will
lead to a battle royal on tho stump
between tho two.
The fate of the shipping bill in
the Senato Is uncertain. But It is
hardly believed that the same vigor
ous filibustering will characterize
the proceedings that featured so
strongly of the filibuster on tho last
appearance of the bill.
Several prominent democrats have
already signified their Intention o(
opposing the bill even though
strictly a party measure.
Efforts to keep the kickers in line
have apparently not been successful
in this regard.

portunity for an open break.
PETROGRAD, May 21.—While
Rumania is professing pacific inten
tions towards the Entente Powers,
the fact that commercial treaties
have been made with Germany an.l
Austria-Hungary is giving rise to
distrust of the Balkan nations’s in
tentions. The Russian force in Bess
arabia has been augmented so as to
be prepared for all eventualities.

cause of the Allies activities at Var
dar that the Bulgars were with

mainland.

FORD HAS COME HACK
FOR GALLANT COLONEL
DETROIT, May 22.—Henry Korn
in an interview reviewed the criti
cisms of Colonel Roosevelt upon
himself.
Ford said the trouble with men like
Roosevelt was that they are behind
times. "'The poor man is antiquat
ed”, said Ford, ”he cannot realize
that he is not living in the days of
the barons when might was right
and everything was settled hy the
ordeal of battle”. Roosevelt has
not an idea of the moral value of
civilized pacificist ideals, and he
rubbed it in hy referring to the dis
graceful and dishonorable acts of
Roosevelt's administration with re
gard to Panama “acts which it was
taking a treaty and monetary con
sideration to rectify and redeem".

front in Europe, with the Italians

loss of Deadman is a serious one to
the French defenders at Verdun.

Flanders are not unimportant, and
show the vigorous nature of the
German belligerency which the long
winter lull had inclined papers to
deprecate.
| Most of the discussion with re
gard to the Irish situation is how
to prevent a recurrence. These
plans are varying from that of one
of the out and out unionist type
which suggested nationalist sup
pression, to the liberal view that
Home Rule will even now serve to
restore normal conditions and com
plete calm In Ireland.
The Irish situation is by no means
reassuring.
