ATTEMPTS TO STEM

With the French Armies in the Field,
May 5.-Hindenburg has all but ex-

half dozen divisions-90, 900 men
are left him today for strengthening
his line or relieving exhausted troops
out of the 43 divisions-about 645.0o0
men-which six weeks ago he had
massed in preparation for an announced
drive against the allies. The joint
Franco-B British offensive has forced
him almost to his limit OF defense.
Prisoners taken today gave this news

Petrograd, May 5.-"You
tell the American people
the Russian situation is all
in hand"
This was the statement
made to me today by Foreign
Minister Milukoff. The man
who, within the past two
days, has held the fate Of
the new Russia in his hands,
meeting with stubborn OPP
position and triumphing
over a sudden outbreak Of
workmen and soldiers, re-
ceived me in his office only
a few hours after closing
all-night sessions with rep
resentatives of the recalcit-
rant forces.
NATURE OF THE PACT.
The foreign minister revealed In this
| exclusive interview, granted the Unit
ed Press, the nature of the pact eD-
isting between Russia and the allied
nations.
81 will tell you they coincide with
all democratic plans Of all democratic
peoples" he said.
"They include plans for creating nsw
national borders, adjusting the map OF
Europe on basis of nationalities and
races and laying the foundation for .
lasting peace"
1t was the approval OF this pact by
the new government without consul.
tation with representatives of the
workmen and soldiers that led to the
trouble of the past two days.
NOT THE CARS SECRETS.
Foreign Minister Milukoff impressed
upon me, however, that the actual de-
tails of the agreement existing be.
tween the allies were not his to re-
veal 1t Is true the agreement was
first approved by the czar, as head Of
the old autocratic government.
But Nfilukoff declared they wero
not the czar's secrets alone, and could
not be published without the consent Of
the allied powers.
He expressed the belief that German
influences caused Thursdays OUT
breaks in the Russian capital.
There were dark forces behind th0
demonstrations against the govern
ment," Milukoff declared II believe
they were German influences such as
you have experienced In America.
There was no conflict between this
governments first and second notes to
the allies"
WHOLE ASPECT CHANGED.
The foreign minister. whose power-l
full appeal to the rioting people had
changed their cries of Down with Mil
ukoff' to Down with Germany" re-
ceived me after = night in which his
words had perhaps changed the whole
aspect Of the war, by preventing In
ternal disseneion which probably would
have led to Russia's separation from
the allies in this critical hour OF
world history. He was still strong,
vigorous and determined. With re-
gard to the secret treaty between Russ
sia and the other allies, said:
Through your position as the for-
eign minister, you have learned what
these arrangements between the allied
powers really were. Can you say
whether you consider these treaties
undemocratic and evil?"

HEAVY CASUALTIES
AMONG THE TOMMIES

No Gains.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS.
United Press Staff Correspondent.

With the British Armies in the
Field, May 5.-Sweating, swearing
demons met and clinched and swayed
and rolled backward and forward over
the most of the British front today.
Prussian officers, with Hindenburgs s
words that he would not tolerate fail
ure to hold or drive back the British
scared on their minds, drove the men
into battle cursing-and met deter
mined British Tommies.
Throughout the day the two sides
struggled and pushed back and forth.
Positions were taken and retaken time
after time. The British managed to
get hold In Bullecourt during the
night by occupying several houses in
the southeast corner. Bombing parties
slipped out in the darkness and, twist
ing through the streets and ruins,
peppered the boches in other houses,
or. penetrating still further, tried hand
grenade treatment on the front and
the supporting trenches of the Hin
denburg line itself-running to the east
of the town. This sort Of fighting con-
tinued all through the night, the Brit
ish bombers meeting German bombers,
man meeting man, with the butts of
rifles and even fists called into play.
BRITISH CLING TO POSTS.
AS dawn came the Germans sailed
out with stronger forces. The under
standing this afternoon at headquart-
ers was that the Germans had suc-
ceeded in re-occupying the whole of
ullecourt-although the British still
clung tenaciously to their posts on
three sides of the town.
Around Fresnoy, the Canadians
stood off all further counter attacks
of the same violent sort that have been
directed against them for "a hours and
managed to wriggle still further for
ward up the German trenches to the
north of the village. Here also the ad-
vance was achieved mostly by hand
grenade fighting and other close range
work.
New posts were taken late today by
the British to the southwest of Oppy
wood, and maintained against violent
attacks.

This bill is the most powerful mea-
sure ever introduced in congress-
Senator Kenyon, member of the COM
mittee, said today.
In Importance. 1t ranks second only
to the Declaration of Independence
On Monday also the senate finance
committee will take up the house tax

time under such conditions will meet
as a bipartisan party, both Republi-
cans and Democrats comforting togeth-
er on all details of the measure.
Hearings will begin Tuesday OF
Wednesday and all those industries

dreds have applied for permission to
appear--will be allowed a voice be-
fore the committee.

CONSUMPTION BILL.

Conferees will report out the Sc
lective conscription army bill.
The senate agricultural commit
tee takes up the Lever food con-
troll bill introduced in the house
this week.
The house ways and means COM
mittee will report out the revenue
BILL raising $1,600,0O0,o0o by taxa
tion.
The senate finance committee
will begin consideration of this
taxation bill.
The new shipping bill, empower
ing President Wilson to take over
ship yards and materials for con-
structing vessels, will be intro
duced.
Perhaps the most important Of these
measures is the food control bill, upon
which the senate agricultural commit
tee will attempt to reach some defi-
mite conclusion. It Is intended to
amend the bill in some details, but to
be ready for prompt action on 1t when
it goes to the senate from the house.
There Is every indication the senate
committee will not report out bill
until the house has acted on the Lever
measure.
