Coercion Of Foreigners Raises
Question in the
Reichstag

London. May 13.-IIerr Kunert. a So
clalist member of the Reichstag. at the
sitting on Friday, according to a Reu-
ter dispatch from Amsterdam. which
quotes the "Norddeutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung." questioned the government
about the incorporation of foreigners
into thcsGerman army. He declared
the foreigners in this category includ-
cd North American citizens. who had
been provided with official identified
ton papers. Herr nuncrt asked what
the Chancellor contemplated doing in
connection with this subject.
Colonel Marquardr, replying for the
government. said the War Minister
would communicate with military COM
manders and after an investigation of
the whole question would order the
release of any persons unjustly moor
porated into the army.
Kunert then asked whether the
Chancellor was aware that the same
measure had been applied
TO Frenchmen and Poles.
Colonel Marquarts answer was that
he had nothing 10 add TO what he al
ready had said.
When Kunert insisted upon knowing
what action the Chancellor intended to
take against such a violation of inter-
national law and violence to conscience
the president interviewed, saying this
WAS new question

In the evening several fresh attacks wer,
made on both sides of Monchy These like

Sarrail Preparing Another
Blow in Mace
donia

London. May IS. General Sarrails
forces in Macedonia continue their
heavy bombardment of the Bul garlan
positions across the Balkan peninsula
evidently in preparation for another
blow. Strong hostile counter attacks
against the positions captured b. the
Serbs north of Monastir were repulsed
yesterday, according TO the night bull
letin from Paris.
Berlin declares that assaults by the
Allied troops on the Dobropolye
heights. east of the Cerna River and
south of Huma were beaten back, and
does not admit any of the gains won by
the Serbs, the French or the Vent
zelists. Apparently there has been lit
tic recent fighting in the valley of the
Nardar River. where an advance by the
Allied armies would be likely TO occur.
There were no infantry actions to-day
anywhere on this front, the battle be-
ing confined to the opposing artllleries.

twelve determined hostile counter attacks.
The greater part OF the village Of Bule-

troops established themselves during the day
in the western houses of Roeux. and again

General Brussilotf, says the CORE

tempted the Russian soldiers by Of
fering them vodka, and had tried to
deceive them with proclamations. tie
added that the assertions were hav-
