Kaiser Offers Silent
Prayer Before Battle
Correspondent Gives Picture oi
Monarch Musing in Cologne
Cathedral

AMSTERDAM. March 27-Describing
a visit which Emperor William paid
to Cologne Cathedral on March Is, be-
fore the great battle on the Western
front, the Cologne correspondent of
the "Tyd" says:
"There were only a few persons
in the building. Under high arches
and in spacious solitude, the Emperor
sat as if in deep thought, before the
priests choir. Behind him his mill
tary staff stood respectfully at some
distance. Still mtssing as he rose, the
monarch, resting with both hands on
his walking sticA, remained standing
lmmovable for come minutes. Then he
turned and without exchanging a
word with his suite, left the cathedral
at their head
Thousands of his subjects hurried
up and gave the monarch a spontane-
Gus ovation, in the midst of which he
walked to the neighboring station. The
Emperor frequently made the military
salute, but the expression on his face
did not relax and he remained silent
and extremely serious. His face wore
look of earnest resolution. which
was rendered still more striking hy
the fact that he has aged much during
the war. ] shall never forget this
picture of the mlsing monarch pray-
ing in Cologne Cathedral on the eve
of the great BATTLE"

doubtedly continue their attacks hera

This northward movement of the
fighting points to the probability of a
desperate German attempt to oyerrun
the Ypres plain before trying to con-
tinue further advance along the
heights westward from KENNEL. In
KENNEL Won Arnim has a sufficiently
useful point Of observation for all DOS
sible operations in the Ypres plain and
it is unlikely that he would wish to
eXpend his resources in storrling ad-
dltional hills until he has attempted q
forward movement that might turn
them from the north.
Meanwhile there is possibility that
the Allies may upset the enemy's cal
culations by retaking KENNEL.
The Germans have rot. up to the
present, attempted to renew the
Amiens advance, but violent artillery
action is reported in to-day's French

and between Lassigny and Noyon.
1t may be noted also that there are
raiding activities by the French north
of the Chemin des Danes and by the
Germans northwest of Rheims and in

Bishop Greer said that the general
had been received into the Church by
Bishop Brent. formerly of the Philip
pines, serving with the Y. NJ. c. A.

through the influence of Bishop Brent
that he consented to enter the Church.
Although the announcement of the
confirmation was withheld last night
the House OF Bishops was aware that
it had occurred when they met here.
They sent cable to the general, well
coming him into the Church.

Austria Reported Near Crisis

Grave events are reported to be inn pending in Austria, according to un- confirmed advices from Spain. It IS said that rioting has been going on ln Vienna and matters have come to q critical stage.
 How serious the situation has be- come is not as yet known. There have been outbreaks in various parts of the country, notably in Bohemia and Mo ravia, and the politica ltension be- tween Austria and Hungary has been one of the features of the news ema- mating from the dual monarchy for some time.
 Drive of Hun Not Resumed
 Checked in their plunge against the French positions from Montdidier to the Oise the Germans have Tot re- sumed their offensive on the western front. There have been patrol en- counters at various points. with the allies improving their positions, nota- .bly in the Villiers- Cotterets region, southwest of Soissons.
 The inactivity of the infantry, how ever. has given place to heavy bonn bardments along the front. In this work the American forces have had part. fingered by a gas attack against them by the Germans, the American. launched thousands of gas shells against the enemy. The Americans on the Marne and Picardy fronts have also given the Germans no rest from patrol incursions.
 New Offensive Expected Soon
 It is believed in Paris and London that not many days will elapse before the Germans begin new assault. Opinion is divided as to the point against which the blow will be struck. l Paris believing that the Germans will continue their thrust toward the capi- tai, either by continuation of the fighting west of the Disc or a new as- sault further south toward the Marne. London, however, believes that the German drives along the Aisne and east of Montdidier were for the pur- pose of drawing the allied reserves to these theaters of the war and then 1 hurling the decisive blow either at Amiens or against the Flanders salient in the hope of reaching the channe' ports.

ST. PAUL, Minn, June 15.-Dls- cussion of the allied war aims late today occupied the attention of the committee on foreign relations of the American Federation of Labor, which is holding it's annual convention here.
 George l.. Berry, member of the American labor mission which recent ly reported it's findings to the conven- tion, urged that the war program of unionists in allied countries be rejected by the foreign relations committee. The plans of European unionists, t is said, embrace the war aims of Presl- dent Wilson, but go a step further by providing for a meeting with union representatives and socialists of the central powers.
 It was said on good authority that the federation's position of refusing to meet representatives of enemy coun- tries would be reaffirmed when the subject is placed before the conven- tion.
