ALLIES HOPE
STEADY POUND
WILL BREAK
IRON LINES
Rumors Declare Russian
Radicals Will Demand
Reputation of Treaties
With the Entente.
SPAIN IS RESTLESS
(By Associated Press)


The German armies in France are
slowly yielding ground before the re-
lentless pressure exercised by Gener-
ais Haig and Petain and the vital
question is as to whether their NOR
ale can be maintained under the ter
rife pounding to which they are sub
jected day and night. Apparently the
allied commanders have abandoned
the policy Of sudden thrusts at chosen
points and are relying on a constant
hammering over a wide front in the be-
lief that sooner or later the iron Ger
man ring must either break or crack
While there is little immediate pros
pect OF sensational developments in
the battle area, the political situation
remains fraught with many possibili-
ties. The latest news from Russia in
dicated that the crisis in that country
continued acute and the menace that
Russia may either withdraw from the
entente or be plunged into chaos still
throws its shadow over the future.
The Russian radicals are apparently
as determined as ever to reject the
war program of England and France,
but they show almost as much re-
luctance as Berlin to define their pre-
else aims.
Rumors of Reputation
A conference is projected at which
the coalition government will he asked
for frank statement as to its posi-
tion, and there are uncomfortable ru-
mors that the Russian radicals intend
to attempt to force reputation of Rus
Siosa frootiac NTH tho ofhar MON hprS
of the entente.
On the other hand is the rising tide
of indignation against Germany in
Scandinavia and Spain. The anti
German faction in Sweden has been
powerfully reinforced by the action of
the Germans in sinking three Swedish
grain ships, in violation Of their own
agreement to respect the safety Of
ressels. Spain is still awaiting a re-
--lly to her protest over the sinking Of
he Spanish steamer Patricio, also de-
Iroyed while sailing under German
} Ilarantee, and the tone of the Spanish
Hess is increasingly peremptory in its
Gnand that Germany be compelled to
Erect Spanish rights.
II Censorship is Efficient
What effect the course Of the press
is,aving on the German people re-
nias practically a sealed book. The
Genan censorship has reached
POI of unparalleled efficiency and

FOOD EXPERTS
PROTECT USER
Government Opposes Fixing
Maximum Price on Staple
Products.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Although
government food experts oppose fix
ing maximum prices on staple food
products, except to force big holders to
release their supplies, protection for
the consumer will be one of the first
considerations of the new food control
administration.
If there is a shortage in any food
staple and it becomes essential to low
er the price, the government, 1t was
said today, will not hesitate to take
over supplies and distribute them
itself In this way officials believe
more can be accomplished than by set
ting maximum prices beyond which
sellers may not charge. If there is an
abundance of food, however, they do
not think it ever will become neces-
sary to exercise the power of COM
Wandering.

Reichstag that he and the military
leaders we're in full accord regarding
the war aims.
Herr Zimmerman says that the
unity Of views, according to his know

strategic aims, on which the chancel
lor has accepted the views Of Hinden-

sponsible generals. He denies that
Won Bethmann has any right to claim
the generals as the champions of his

aims of the war.

IRISH FACE MOST
SERIOUS ENTERPRISE
FOR Generations

LONDON, May 22-The Manchester
Guardian considers the Irish conven.
Hon "the biggest and most serious un-
dertaking to which ireland has set her
hand for generations and one which
must be prosecuted with the vigor and
insistence proportionate to Its mo-
ment." The Guardian thinks the best
hope for the expedient Is that the Eng
lish parties mean to stand aloof. The
Guardian continues:
The task before the convention is
extremely difficult as the speech Of
Sir John Lonsdale and Sir Edward
Carson show that fires are still burn
ing and that the spirit Of compromise
does not brood everywhere over the
troubled waters"
