WHITE SLAVERY PLOTS
Russia Women Disappear in
Large Numbers GO

Petrograd (via London). May @.-The
disappearance recently of many young
women Of arstocratic families resulted
in an investigation which uncovered a
widespread plot to lure women and girls
into white slavery" after they had been
robbed. Details of the plot were discoV-
cred by militiamen who raided hea0q2ar-
tiers of the band where they found miss
ing women, many of them under the in
fluence Of drugs
One girl, member of a prominent fam
lily, told how she had been held prisoner
and begged to be released. She and 9TH
ers informed the authorities they had
been compelled to becom' drug addicts.
All had been robbed of their money and
jawels. Many rihed purses and reticules
were found in a back room. Most Of the
victims were between II and 10 years
old, although several Of them were mar
ried women.

WORKERS
HOLD 4 MEETING

There was large attendance at the
meeting of the railroad men who are on
walkout and the public which was held
IN the Silver Racquet hall Saturday eve
ming, at which Vice President J. H.
Humphrey Of the American Federation of
Railroad Workers gave an address set
ting out the side of the men on the walk
out. He explained the makeup Of the
organization, 1t being the uniting Of two
separate units Of metal workers and car
men for the purpose of economy and pow
er. He compared 1t to a local orsaniza-
ton Of business men and even to the
up of men Of various professions, He
showed how the Big Four were able to
secure the eight-hour day only after they
were closely united. Since the coming
together of the unions the success Of the
American Federation Of Railroad Work
ers has been marked. He declared that
business men raise prices over night and
there Is no stable price, but that labor
can only demand a change once a year.
and then they seldom get anywhere near
the cost of the increase In prices. He
paid his respects to General Manager
Douglass, whom he denounced roundiy.
The State Board of Arbitration has
agreed that the demands Of the
men are fair and he said that the
State Of Maine should insist that Man.
ager Douglass do justice to the men. He
closed by declaring that IL they go back
victorious they will never have to go out
again.

BRITISH OFFENSIVE
Continued from Page One) :

Although London makes no mention
of the fact. the Berlin war office reports
an offensive by the British along a IS
mile front. extending from the region Of
AcheVille to Queant, which means that
again the entire front of the Drocourt-
Queant switchline is being hammered
The army of the German Crown
Prince continues Intellectually it's efforts
to crack the French line along the
Chemin -des- Danes. After shell fire
of great intensity by all calibres of
guns and including asphyXiating gas
projectiles, the Germans Sunday en-
deavored to come out of their trenches
and attack in force. With their usual
display of expert craftsmanship, how
ever, the Frenchmen at most places held
the Teutons to their trenches under a
reciprocal artillery fire. Wherever the
Germans were able to come into the
open and dash toward the French line
they were met with a whitening fire and
suffered heavy losses Only at one
place northeast of Cerny did they sue
coed, after the payment of a heavy price
in killed and wounded, in penetrating
the French positions. At this point a
front of about 200 yards was captured.
Again comes news from the Russian
front that the Germans, probably owing
to the betterment of the internal situa-
ton in Russia, have attacked the Rus
sian lines. Last week they essayed an
offensive in the Volhynia region, but met
with no marked success. Now the often
sive has been switched to the north in
the vicinity of Mitau, where they threw
an attack against the Russians but were
stopped by the fire of the Russian artil-
lery In Rumania there also has been
the semblanee of an attack against the
Russians east of koveika, but here again
the Teutens were dispersed by the Rus
sian guns.
North and east of Gorilla the Italian
troops are continuing their successes over
the Austrians either in fresh advances or
in holding back counter attacks launch
ed with huge electives. In the former
region dense formations of the AAlstrans
endeavored to wrest from the Italians po-
sitions captured on the Vodce but were
driven back with sanguinary losses.
number of guns and large quantities OF
arms and ammunition were taken by the
Italians. East of Gorilla the Austrian
lines were pierced in an attack by the
Italians. who made 9A prisoners.
In Macedonia artillery duels and iso-
lated infantry engagements continue.

tion's war budget, increased to total Of
$500, 30O.e69 by the addition Of s7oe.0O0.oD
for the merchant feet construction pro-
gram, which passed the Senate Saturday
without a roll call.
1t was sent Immediately to conference
and is expected to be ready within week
for President Wilson's signature, making
millions Immediately available for the
urgent needs of the war
AS it passed the House the measurs
carried approximately 81, 500, 600 COO and did
not include the ship program appropria-
ton. This provision was put in by the
Senate at the request Of the administra-
ton and Is expected to receive the ap-
proval of the House conferees without
much delay.
THE only other important Senate
amendment is stipulation that pro-
visions of the war draft army bill shall
remain in force only until four
months after the war.
Most of the money appropriated will
go to pay expenses of the war army
and of the increased navy and marine
corps already authorized. The largest
single items are for pay of enlisted
men. provision being made to meet the
increased pay schedules approved for
tie rmy and navy personnel. There al
so are big appropriations. however, for
equipment, Notifications and NUM-
tons.
The military establishment will get
about sa,225, Coz coo of the total, and
the navy about $500 AC0, 600 For cloth
ing and camp equipment nearly a
quarter of billion is provided, and for
coast and insular Notifications mare
than half billion.
An item Of s11.000,o0o for aviation is
included in the navys quota. Many Of
the sums appropriated are made imme-
diately available.
The bill, by far the largest supply
measure ever considered in Congress,
was debated less than three days in the
Senate. most of the discussion center
ing about the $3.50, 900 900 merchant ma
rine appropriation.
Appropriations carrying many mil
slions of dollars were agreed to by the
Senate with little no discussion and
with only a few Senators in the cham
Der. Payment of 500 monthly to re-
serve officers during training, and
countless other items, were approved as
drawn.
