! The allied air men carried out numer
Gus bombing raids over German towns
besides dropping many tons of ex
plosfves on the enemy's military estab
liShmentS.,
The Germans made a great air raid
on London, killing a persons and los
ing five of their planes, and attempted
two raids on Paris with little success.
More satisfactory to the Hun mind
were the results of some air raids on
British hospitals behind the lines, for
several hundred sick and wounded SOL
d1ers were killed and injured, and
among the victims were several wom-
en- nurses who would not desert their
wards. The commander of the squad
ron Of GOthas that made this charac-
teriSt1cally brutal attack was brought
down and captured and declared he did
not see the Red Cross signs on the hos
pitals though they were plainly visible.
Austrfa's renewed drive against Italy
did not develop last week, but reports
from Vienna said Austria had ceased
all military operations in the east on
May 20 in order to concentrate her
forces on the italian front, so it is like
~ the offensive will be started there
very soon. The allies have little fear
of the result,
The Germans captured the city of
Abo In Finland and also occupied
BJorko. an island in the Gulf of Fin
land 80 miles from Petrograd. In Kfev,
capital of the Ukraine, there was heavy
nghtlng between the forces of Skoro- |
padsky, the new Ukrainian dictator, I
and troops that remained faithful to |
the rada. In Baku, on the Caspian.
which was previously reported captur-
ed by the Russians, the bolsheviki and
Mussulmans fought long and bitterly.
More than 1000 were killed and much
of the city was burned. The food sit-
uation in Russia was reported to be
growing steadily worse except in Mos
COW. Petrograd is now entirely with
out bread.
Copenhagen dispatches say that Gen.
eral Mannerheim, commander in chief
OF the Finnish white guard, has re-
signed because he was ordered to in
wade the Russian province of Karelfa.
Declaring that it had discovered an
extensive and dangerous pro-German
plot In ireland, the British government
descended upon the Sim Fein sudden
" and arrested several hundred men,
Oers or that party, including it's presi-
1ent' PROFESSOR de Valera, and prac- s
r1caIly all the other leaders. The COM
raised a storm in Ireland and even the
1atlonallstS, though disclaiming anv t
with the revolutionary aims {
u the Sim Feiners, declared the gov t
7rnments action was not sincere and 2
vas taken to cloud the home rule and '
situation. The Irish OBJ
ectors to the draft seem to RELY great g
Y on public opinion in the United
states, and over here there is fem 2
Iency to suspend judgment concerning /
ne Sim Fefn arrests until the British
government adduces its proof of a plot. O
IL IS SAID the existence Of the plot "
vas known for weeks by American o.
ecret agents and that such notorious II
rlshmen in America as Jeremiah o.
'Leary-now missing-were concern. W
In 1t. 1t is certain that no pro-Ger- ~
ian plotters in any of the allied conn =,
les Will get any sympathy from the ~
merfcan government or the American
eople.
