capital of 25,0O0,O00 marks has just
been organized in Hamburg, which
will at once start building merchant
vessels. This company has the. fl
nancial backing of the government.
Swedish papers say that Germany
expects the entente powers to be
short of ships when the war closes
and German merchants will then
be in a position to send their goods
all over the world before the other
countries will be in a position to
resume their trade.
1t is argued that this is surer
sign of peace than anything that
has as yet developed.

HINDENBURG THWARTED
Two-thirds of German Reserves Used
Up Without Gain.

|Two-thirds of German Reserves Used
Up Without Gain.
London, April .26.-Far greater
battles than those raging in the Ar
ras region are impending in the i'm
mediate future. This statement IS
heard from many reliable sources
today when the question arises
whether the British have reached the
climax of their artillery work.
Field Marshall Haig's plans appar-
emily are developing excelientiy, ana
he is forcing Won Hindenburg to do
lust what the British anticipated.
They knew he would walt until he
thought the allies had reached the
highest point of efficiency and then
throw in enormous masses Of reserv-
es to catch them on the down grade.
Reports indicate that the Germans
already have used two-thirds OF their
reserve forbes without gaining
single objective. At this rate their
force will be spent in futile counter
attacks before the allies reach the
mightiest force of their arms.
The British have already WIDE
front on which to deploy and this
soon will be extended. There is not
! single officer in London, WHO be-
Iieves that the affairs on the Arras
front will take dramatic course,
but all are assured that the British
are going to give the enemy the
worst hammering ever delivered to
an enemy.

ILLICIT SALE OF VODKA

Petrograd, May 29. 100 p. m., via London. s.32 p. m.-The increase in the illicit sale of vodka and the gen eral wave of intoxication which threatens to spread throughout the country, provoking disorders and en- dangering internal peace of the coun- try. is the subject of a stirring appeal to citizens issued by the executive committee of the council of workmen's and soldiers delegates.
 We notice an increase of drunken ness in Petrograd and other parts of Russia" reads the appeal. Tt is mo- ticeable in the streets. railways, fac tories and barracks. VodkE readily is found In the villages of the interior as well as at the front An examination shows that many dcplorable events in drunkenness.
 Formerly the emperor encouraged drunkenness since 1t helped to sup port the imperial throne. Now the Black Hundred is trying to intoXicate the country because 1t wants to create disorders, cause civil war and the re- turn of the monarchy. Massacres will follow the appearance of vodka. Vil- lages will fight with each other and then the servants of the old regime will emerge from their hiding places and there will be a repetition of what happened in 1905. The work of the revolution will be drowned In blood by the enemies of the people. No one has the right to buy vodka or to drink 1t. Let it disappear forever. with the old regime
