Per;lous Race With

Copenhagen, via London, May 19.-
The potato situation is growing stead
lily worse in Germany, altho the wealth
er now no longer furnishes an excuse
for scanty shipments.
Following the example OF It's sister
city, Altona, Hamburg next week will
reduce the weekly rations to twenty
four ounces. substituting an allowance
of $40 grams of bread. To meet the
dissatisfaction which this state Of at
fairs produces the government has au
thorized grocers to sell all their re-
naming stocks Of canned vegetables
next week.
The Berlin potato ration is being
maintained, altho with great diff
Guilty, because of the moral effect OF
reducing at the capital the allowance
promised so definitely after the April
strike. The people of Berlin are i'm
plored to remember that the eyes OF
the world are upon them. They are
admonished to cease complaint, and
consider how much better conditions
are in Berlin than in the British Isles
which it is said are headed toward
actual starvation

Gigantic Task For cadorna's Foress.

The recent intensive fighting on
the British front in France has sub
sided and the activities along the
French lines in the Aisne region
are confined mainly to counter at
tacks by Germans.
The Italian offensive, with Trieste
for its objective, is therefore being
watched with perhaps more active
interest than any Of the other vast
military operations in progress.
General Cadorna's armies have a
heavy task before them with the
cream Of Austria's fighting forces
defending the naturally strong de-
fensive positions in the isonxo re.

admittedly making progress, having
taken moro than 5000 prisoners

until the governor had sent three spe

came to focus when youthful hoxer

Amsterdam, May 19.--Dr. Friedrich
Adler, newspaper editor and radical
socialist, who last October shot and
killed the Austrian premier Count Kari

After the rupture Of diplomatic re-
lations with Serbia but before the ac-
tual declaration Of war. DR.. Adler
stated. the premier and the minister Of
Justice, DIR. Won Kockenburg. had sus-
pended turies and by refusing to as
semble parliament the premier had
escaped indictment.
