NOW BRAZIL TO TAKE
DEFENSE MEASURE
Congress Plans to Cancel Neutrality
Decree and Seize Teuton Ships
for ReprisaI.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.-The commit
tee on foreign relations in the Brazil
ian congress has drafted a measure
recommending the cancellation of the
decree of April 25, 1917, which declar-
ed the Neutrality of Brazil in the war
between Germany and the United
States. President Braz, under the bill
would be authorized to take necessary
steps for the carrying out Of this law
and to put into practice the acts which
result from the cessation of neuartlty.
The Brazilian foreign minister Sua-
day presented to congress a message
signed by President Braz in which it
is stated that the sinking of Brazilian
merchantmen by German subma-
rines obliges the government to take
measures for defense against the Teu-
ton U-boats. The utilization, but not
confiscation, of German vessels in
termed in Brazilian seaports is sug-
gested.

NEW SWEDISH AIRPLANE FAST.
New Type Is Constructed of Steel
and Woven Fabrics.

Stockholm.-A new type airplane
has been planned and constructed by
an officer in the Swedish army, Lieu
tenant Won Porat. 1t differs from or
binary types in that it is made en-
tirely of steel and woven fabrics,
with the exception of the propeller,
which is of wood, and in the arrange
ment of the wings. The lower plane
of the machine-which is scout BIZ
plane, with some resemblance to the
Fokker. type-lies for three-quarters
of it's width back of the apper plane,
instead of being directly under it, as
in most machines.
The especial advantage claimed for
the new airplane lies in it's climbing
ability, which is declared to be 5000
feet in four to five minutes. It's speed,
is 100 miles an hour. The motor is
of 100 horsepower.

which were taken early in the recent
fighting. Around. Gorilla there was
heavy artillery firing. At Castagna-

On the front in France there has
been recrudescence of infantry activ-
ity, but not on large scale. The
British made gains in local attacks
northwest of ST. Quentin and near Fon-

of Arras.
Hard Fighting Champagne Fronts.
On the Asine and Champagne fronts
both the Germans and French. have
been active. Around Teton, in Cham
payne, the German crown prince made
three attacks and succeeded in pene-
trating the French line. A counter at
tack forced the Germans to retire
again to their own lines, however.
North of the Aisne the Germans
were repulsed in an attack against the
Laffaux mill, an important point, south
of Pargnl, on the ,Ailette, north of
Brayean-Laonnois, Berlin reports, five
French attacks were made in vain, as
was an attack near Vauxaillion, north

East St. Louis, Ill.-A mob esti

The mob stopped street cars and
interurban cars in it's search and on

negroes had been taken for safe keep
ing.
Ambulances made the rounds OF
the streets where the mob had traV'

The police were helpless against
the mob, and Mayor Fred Mollman
appealed to Major R. w. Cavanaugh
in charge of two companies OF the

the town, for aid. MAJOR Cavanaugh

MIRACLE is NEEDED IN
ORDER TO SAVE RUSSIA
Demands of the Workmen Is So
Great That the Industry Is
Paralyzed.

Petrograd, May 3O.-The industrial
crisis in Russia is so acute that, &C
cording to the minister of finance, M.
Shingaroff, only miracle can save
the country from economic ruin. The
demands of the workmen were SO
enormous, he declared, that it seemed
impossible to keep the industrial
wheels going for any great length OF
time.
The socialist ministers at recent
ministerial council said that the only
possibility they saw of settling the
difficulties was to bring the war to a
close.
Neither the coalition cabinet nor
the newly appointed commission to
regulate the difficulties between cap
ital and labor has yet found a way to
settle the industrial crisis.
