'Inasmuch as the war fund OF 1917,
SO generously contributed by the
American people to the American

tions fer the welfare OF the men IN
our military and naval forces, and
for those dependent upon them for the
yet more urgent necessities OF our al
lies, military and civilian. who have
long borne the brunt Of war;
And, inasmuch as the American
Red Cross has been recognized by law
and international convention as the
public instrumentality for war relief;
And, inasmuch as the year OF our
own participation in the war has
brought unprecedented demands upon
the patriotism and liberality of our
people, and made evident the neces-
sity of concentrating the work of re-
lief in one main organization which
can respond effectively and universal
ly to the needs of humanity under
stress of war;
And, ina3mrch as the duration OF
the wal and the closer and closer CO.
operation of the American Red Cross
with our own army and navy, with the
governments of our allies, and with
foreign relief organizations, have re-
suited in the discovery of new oppor-
tunities of helpfulness under cOndi-
tions which translate opportunity into
duty;
And, inasmuch as the American
Red Cross war council and its COM
mi3sioners iii Europe have faithfully
and economically administered the
peoples trust;
Nov, therefore, by virtue of my
authority as President of the United
States and President OF the American
Red Cross, l, Woodrow Wilson, do
hereby proclaim the week beginning
May 20, 1918, as Red Cross Week,

part of those who, though not privi-

purpose and determination with our
warriors.
I'm witness whereof. I have here.

Londcn, May 7.-Unrest in the Slo-

daily and mutiny is spreading with
great rapidity, Reuters Limited an.
nounced il had been learned from
tween Germans and Slovenians ended
in bloodshed Emperor Charles has
left his capital for the fighting front
at time when Austria is seething
with political unrest. In Bohemia and
all parts of his domains. the liberals
are protesting against his action in
dismissing Parliament. II is announced
in a pan-German Berlin newspaper
that the German food de cpartment has
taken over control of most of the Bo-
hemia "in response to the demands OF
the German population Three mem
bers of the Austrian cabinet are re-
ported TO have resigned
London, May 6.-''There are at least
d dozen different crises in Austria to-
day." wrote one of the best-informed
English correspondents. "All these
crises appear to concentrate on the
problem of food. Even the racial ami
mosities of the composite empire,
which have always been the weak tim
bers of its structure, have been in
famed into unusual bitterness by sec
tional jealousies over food distribu-
tion. These crises appear to have
reached a elimination in the govern
ments decision to prorogue Parlia-
ment during the present phase of the
war for the reason that it could not
help, but only hinder, in the solving
of economic problems on which every
thing depends, in the words of semi
official explanation.
Before this announcement was
made Premier Won Seydler met party
leaders, impressed upon them the
necessities of the situation, Offered
vague promises of reforms for the dis
contented races demands and issued
warning that any agitation would be
dealt with by all lawful means.
Parliamentary government, or
rather parliamentary debates, are to
be suppressed indefinitely and an au-
tocratic government will try to hold
the helm.
What straits Austria has reached
were partly revealed by the premier's
speech and also by the German Off
cial statement that all food supplies
from Ukraine this month will be CIV
en- to Austria on account of her great
er need.
THE Hague correspondent OF the
Times discussing the German food
shortage yesterday, remarked.
Even the ordinary German public
realizes that something worse than
food scarcity threatens Austria
For two months past the eXaspera-
tion between the Slavonic sections of
the Austrian population and the other
races has been at the highest point of
tension. The Germans have been
bullying Premier Won Seydler with in
science which reached its climax in
the request that the Austrian frontier
of German race should,
for food supply purposes, be annexed
TO Germany.

ENVY FRONT AROUND ARRAs.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, May 7.-Correspondents in
France state that the British gun fire
in Flanders during the last three days
has completely prevented any enemy
movement on the British lines, while
the French prevented any attack,
which was undoubtedly being pre-
pared, on their front by attacking
first.
Sunday night the irrepressible Aus
tralians gave the Germans west and
southwest of Morlancourt, between the
Ancre and Somme rivers, another
drubbing and advanced the entente
line to depth of 500 yards along
front of 1000 yards.
This operation was a continuation
of one started Saturday night south
west of Morlancourt. That time the
Australians drove in against the en-
emy and smashed them back 700 yards
along a front of 1900 yards.
The Canadians have appeared in the
Arras sector, further south than they
have been since the battles in this re-
gion began March 81. This part Of the
line is important, as it defends Arras
to the southwest and includes locali-
ties such as Neuville-Vitasse, Mercan.
tel and Boisleaux ST. Mare, where
there have been bitter struggles since
the Germans launched their great Of
fensive.
The British have withdrawn their
troops from Es-Salt, east of the Jor-
dan, in Palestine, the London war Of
flee announces. Nearly 1000 Germans
and Turks and twenty-nine machine
guns have been captured in the last
few days
The allies have kept up heavy ar
tillery fire in sectors where the Ger
mans have been assembling, or have
been at work in bringing up guns for
the battle which is virtually certain to
come.
