DRIVE AGAINST FRANCE
Hindenburg Hopes to Crush Foe
Before U. S. Aids.
German Commander Has 100000
Fresh Troops Ready for Huge
Offensive.
Washington, May 3O.-Smash France

Washington, May 30.-Smash France
before the United States gets in.
This is Germany's chief hope of vic
tory, and it is the policy on which the
German government is concentrating
I'LL Its energies. A revelation Of the
power of Germany to carry out this
program is expected within the next
six weeks.
The situation is viewed as desperate
by many American army officers. The
allies are weakened and war-weary
and waiting for the United States to
come in and give Germany the coup
de grace.
But the United States will not get
In effectively until next year. The gov
eminent does not contemplate sending
more than 100000 men before snow
flies. So with the submarine on the
sea and Hindenburg on the land Ger
many has nearly year in which to
carry out her effort to wrest victory
from impending defeat.
The American government has come
into possession Of a vast amount of
startling information concerning the
war situation In which the United
States is involved but the contents of
this dispatch are all that I am at lib
erty to present in print under the
terms of the voluntary censorship.
The administration has learned that
Germany has a new army of between
100000 and 100000 men who never
have been In the trenches, but have
been under intensive training for sew
eral months. These fighters were re-
leased from the factories by the indus
trial reorganization resulting from the
German man power legislation and by
the labor of the Belgian workmen de-
ported to Germany.
The American military authorities
believe that Won Hindenburg, re-en-
forced by this fresh army, is about to
launch terrific onslaught on the west
ern front.

LEVY $1,000, 900 ON BELGIANs
Germans Increase Exactions to $144,-
100000 for Use of Army--In-
crease In Upkeep.

Havre, May 30.-The German gov
ernor general of Belgium, Baron Won
Falkenhausen, has imposed supple
mentary war tax of 100000 francs
($2,000,000) on the Belgians. The pro-
vinciM councils have been summoned
to meet on June 2 to decide on the
method Of raising this amount. With
the new tax the amount of money al
together exacted from the Belgians
amounts to 7200O0,OOO francs ($144,-
OO0O00). The increased cost of the
upkeep of the troops occupying the ter
ritory is given by the Germans as the
reason for this extra levy, which, they
declare, cannot be considered as anal.

ROB SAILORS; SINK VESSEL
Germans Bomb American Ship as the
Crew Is Set Adrift in an
Open Boat.

New York, May 30.-.The American
schooner Margaret B. Rouss, which
left st. Andrews bay, Florida, Febru-
airy with cargo of pine lumber for
Genoa, was sunk by submarine April
81 near the French-Italian coast and
the crew robbed by the Germans, ac-
cording to Capt. Fred L. Foot, master
of the schooner, who arrived here from
France.
Captain Foot said a detachment
from the submarine boarded his vessel
and took from it everything of value,
including foodstuffs, navigating instru-
ments, and even the extra clothing of
himself and his six men. They were
set adrift In an open boat and were
landed at Monte Carlo by patrol
boat, which picked them up. The
schooner was sunk by bombs.

Gateway of Trieste Is Under Fire

CAPTURE, A DIFFICULT TASK
Austro-Hungarian Stronghold Is De-
Tended by Mountains Which Bristle
With Artillery and Machine
Guns-Progress Slow.
Berlin, May 30.-An attack by Rus
sian and ROumanian troops is expected,
the official report says.

Rome, May 30.-Both italian guns
and infantry are pounding away at
Dunno, the gateway of Trieste.
The capture of this Austro- Hunga-
rian stronghold Is difficult task, be-
cause it Is defended by mountains
which bristle with artillery and ma
chine guns. But despite the severity
of the task, the Italians are pressing
ahead with blows that win fresh
ground every day.
The forcing of passage across the
Timova river gave the Italians foot
hold in the village Of San Giovanni,
and it has been maintained despite flu
rious counter-attacks by the Austro-
Hungarian forces.
The fighting enabled italians to
consolidate positions which they regard
as impregnable.
DemoraIized by Artillery.
Prisoners streaming back from the
Carso plateau front declare Italian ar
tillery, supplemented by British guns,
have demoralized Hungarian
forces and they were dazed by it be-
fore they were attacked by infantry.
Especially severe was lighting with
big guns around Jamiano. There it
was a battle between the heavy Italian
and British guns and the gigantic "sko-
das'' with which the Germans ana
Austro-H ungarians have reduced some
Of the mightiest fortresses on both
eastern and western fronts.
Italian military critics are jubilant
over the success of the drive but are
not making predictions as to time
when Trieste will fall. However, mill
tary chiefs make it plain Italians are
in position to fight all summer for the
prize, If necessary.
Face Mountain Forts.
In sense Italians are battling
against what might be termed an Aus
tro-Hungarian Hindenburg line, and 1t
requires a slow process of pounding
mountain fortresses of Austro- Hunga-
rians before infantry can be brought
up.
Artillery duels all along the Isonzo
river front are increasing in violence
as a result of the arrival of fresh Aus
tro-Hungarian batteries from the Rus
sian front.
It is estimated that Austro- Hunga-
rians havet from 100000 to 100000 men
along the marrow strip from the PLAYA
mountainisector to the Adriatic sea.

Washington, May 30.-Secretary
Lansing, testifying before the house

sent to Government officials through
out the country to keep close watch on
meetings at which there may be agi.

speakers who encourage violations of
the law. Although the Department of
Justice is satisfied that German infhl.

officially that such influences are re-

Washington, May 30.-Official an
nouncement was made of a plot to hin
der registration and to resist conscrip-
ton by an armed uprising against the
government Eleven arrests have been
made amt nine indictments have al
ready been returned BY federal ggand
jdfies
The conspiracy is declared by the
department af justice TO have had its
origin in Texas, where society was
formed several months ago for the os-
tensible purpose Of cooperative buy
ing. The members were required to
take secret oath.
"After the enactment of the selec-
tive draft law" says the departments
announcement, "a strong German influ-
ence succeeded in inducing the organ
ization to turn it's efforts to combat
ting CONSUMPTION and high-powered
rifles were obtained to intimidate per-
sons subject to registration and the Of
ficlals who will be appointed to per-
form the registration"
Two Jailed in Roanoke.
Two of the men arrested were
brought to Roanoke Va, and landed
In Jail. They are William Vernon Nc
Coy, a grizzled mountaineer of sixty
five, who gained notority in the IA
nous Hatfeld-McCoy feuds, and his
lieutenant, ]. w. Phipps. These men,
1t is alleged, were the organizers Of
an armed company in the mountain
districts of Virginia.
Similar conspiracies have been dis
covered in the middle West, where
the influence of the I. w. w. is be-
lieved to be responsible for the at
tempts to combat CONSUMPTION. Re
ports received from government
agents indicate that this organiza-
ton is doing its utmost to arouse
armed resistance to the law.
The nine men indicted were promi-
nent members of the Texas organiza-
ton. They were dealt with prompt
ly, it is stated, as warning to the
public generally of the stringent pol
icy which the attorney general pur-
poses to pursue in enforcing the army
measures.
Mccoy and Phipps were arrested in
st. Paul, little town in Whyte coun-
ty, in the extreme southwestern part of
Virginia. Dispatches from Roanoke de-
clare that the plot which they were
preparing to execute included the
murder of well-todo property owners,
the seizure of their property and a
virtual declaration Of war against the
government of the United States.
Three hundred mountaineers whom
they had provided with arms, it is
alleged, had taken an oath to extermin-
ate the land owners.
Demand Whole Country.
The declaration of war follows:
1.-THE country is ours and all
therein. We only have to come to-
gether and demand it. The big land
owners, the spectators and the rev.
enues shall no more be known. There
will be no fighting; we have already
learned that. Get ready"
A. J. Devlin, an agent of the de-
partment of justice, who arrested the
ringleaders, is said to have in his pos
session all the discriminating papers
of the revolt. Other agents Of the de-
partment are rounding up numbers of
the band and it is expected that scores
more of the conspirators will be
brought into the Roanoke Jail.
