Beyond an officially inspired dis

May Day, the veil Of secrecy which
has been drawn over the situation in
the central powers remains unbroken
as far as any direct news is con-
cerned News dispatches from the
German frontier speak Of great
strikes, but there is little tangible
on which to base judgment. Every
thing points to crisis having been
reached in the internal affairs of both
Germany and Austria, but the out
come is uncertain. @
Demand for Reform. ,
The demand for internal reform, Is
growing larger and more insistent in
Germany, and the newspapers are
voicing this demand with bOldness
never before known since the com
mencement Of the war.

is, trying to prevent the outside world
from learning the truth of the stu.

It is reported that Chancellor Won
Bethmann Holwegg will make new
peace offer in the reichstag tomorrow
but this is based entirely on news

tion. The storm Of criticism against

demand for "a stronger man to guide

Commissioners today had assurances

the urgent recommendations which they
brought to this cOuntry-when the Al
lies believe they can spare the neces-
sary ships for transporting all army

The administration has put aside
the objection of the army general staff
to send any troops to the battle front
until q big force has been raised and
trained for nearly a year, and has de-
cided that for the sake Of the moral
effect Of Americas actual participation
in the trench battle, small contingent
shall 90 forward as soon as possible
