KITCHENER IS BLAMED FOR THE
DARDANELLES FlASco

London, March s.-Upon the late
Lord Kitchener, England's idol, and
the early war council was fixed the
blame today for England's Oar
danelles expedition. A special in
vestigating commission, appointed
in response to parliamentary in
quiries and complaints as to the cost
" experiment against Turkey, made
this report today.
although the main object of the
expedition was not attained, " the re-
port concluded, certain important
political advantages were secured by
the expedition. Whether these were
worth the loss of life and treasure
involved must always remain a mat
ter Of opinion"
Discussing the responsibility for
he step, the report adjudged Lord
Kitchener responsible for three
weeks delay in dispatching troops
to the Dardanelles, thereby "gravely
compromising the probability Of sue
cess"

Mayor Thompson said TO be con-
sidering Funling for second term. !

More Officers
 To Be Trained
(Associa ted Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., June D. Announcement has been made from the war department to the effect that the second series of officers training camps will be held in Sep lember, october and November. The officers who will graduate from these camps will be used in the second increment of the selective draft forces.
 An effort is to be made 10 secure men who are over the draft age In this manner it is expected that many men who would not otherwise be eligible on account of the age limit will join the forces. It is ad- mitted, however, that the number will be far less than that which is now being trained.
 All of the camps where the second group of coming army officers are to be trained will be located in the south, where there will be nothing to hamper drilling.

REPORT REACHES COPENHAGEN FROM BERLIN TO THE EFFECT THAT GERMAN PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF RUTHLESS SueMA- RlNE WARFARE.
EXPECTED TT TO
 BRING RESULTS
ENGLAND WOULD BE STARVED INTO SUBMISSION, BUT PERCEIVE THAT SHE IS NOW MORE DETERMINED THAN EVER BEFORE.
Associated Press)

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, June ?. Private adyices received here from Berlin are to the effect that German people in general are becoming very tired Of the atrocities incidental to the submarine warfare that is being waged by the German government against the ships of it's enemies Dissatisfaction is increasing. as re ports of continued atrocities arrive at Berlin, and, although no open move has been made directly against the policies of the government, such action is imminent, according to the report
 The German people. declare the advices, consented only to ruthless submarine warfare after they had been told that such fighting was necessary if England was to be brought to her knees. They were told that, with German submarines off all her shores, waiting to stop and sink all food ships. England as nation could not possibly sur vive starvation.
 The immediate results promised, however, by the leaders in power have not been forthcoming. For in stead of being brought to her knees England appears to be more deter mined than ever. For this reason. and because they claim that they have been deceived, large part Of the population of Germany is now ready to protest against the ruth less submarine warfare to the gov ernment.

 LONDON, June 2.-Although the kaiser and General von Hindenburg have issued what are purported to be authentic reports to the German people, claiming that the offensive move on the part of the Anglo French forces on the western front has been failure, figures and facts fail to show that their figures are accurate and correct For q general summary of results of the last seven weeks of the offensive show that 52, 900 German prisoners were taken in addition to those killed and wounded.
 During the drive the British forces have made and held gains on the Arras front and on Vimy ridge. They have also practically surrounded Lens and Stuffenting.
 The French are also credited with making gains during the offensive movement. They have been active in the Asne and Champagne sec tors, having a.ven the Germans out of a number of important positions which they are still holding in spite of violent counter attacks on the part of German troops.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., June e. A plan whereby the government will insure the lives of all of its soldiers and sailors for $4.000 each has been preached to the national de.cns, council, which, it is stated, IS to consider the plan during the coming week. Life insurance for each man in the army and navy Curing the war is proposed, the same to take the place of any pension arrange. ment already provided for The in surance plan, it is understood, also includes accident and permanent dis ability insurance, so should a man be permanently injured while in the service of the government, he might be recompensed to some extent for any loss that he might sustain

But in the event that soldier lost an arm, leg or an eye in the service such permanent disability would be paid for at once and the government would not be required to pay out anything more in pensions
 The national defense council it is understood. desires to hasten all of this class of legislation as much as possible in order that it may be in force when the big army is sent to France To that end the plan. after 1t is once taken up. will be considered in all of it's phases.

Associated lTt~SJ

WASHINGTON, D. C., June ?. In q message which he has been Ie- gently preparing, and which was giv- en publicity here tonight Herbert C, Hoover. food controller of the United States government, gives further in structions to the housewives of the country regarding how they can help 10 conserve the food supply of the country. The message is being print, ed in all metropolitan dailies and will be sent to the smallest country weekly in the farthest nook in every state.
 In the message of MT. Hoover all American people are urged to con serve the country's staple food sup ply. He gives ways in which this can be done, one of them being ap- plicable to the present time of year. In the spring and summer, says the message, the meat supply of the country can be easily conserved by the housewives by the use of yege- tables. For during these seasons vegetables are fresh and the most plentiful, and it is at those times that they are more palatable than at any other.
 Vegetables, says the message, com pose only small fraction of the American diet. Therefore, by using them to still greater lengths. other foods, the place of which they now take in the American home, may be conserved

The statement says that it was the intention of the com mander of the submarine which sunk the ship, not to sink it, but to stop it and make an examination for contraband goods. The German note also expresses a willingness to pay an indemnity for the loss of the life of the engineer of the craft, a Spaniard.

furnishing grain to supply the needs will fall on America. according to the statement. Nr Hoover figure that the United States will be able to supply approximately 6oo,oooogo bushels in addition to enough to furnish her own people. The amount which can be exported may be in creased to S0O.ooo00o bushels, he says, if the winter wheat crop i'm proves.
 The spring wheat crop is larger than usual, according to MT. Hoover. It will be necessary, however, for the winter crop to be greatly in creased if the country is to support the large population which has been thrust upon ii.
 Mr. Hoover says that the great necessity of Europe for American wheat means that Americans will have to forego wheat products anG use more cereals of other kinds than usual. He denies that it is the in tentIon of his department to purchase the crops of the country for distri- button. unless it is directed to do so by the government.
