AUSTRALIAN HEROES AID
 LIBERTY LOAN CANVASS.
Having Recovered from Wounds, They
 Are Returning to the Battlefields.

New York, May 2.-The t'coo-o -o-o- ee" of far-off Australia intermingled today in the streets of New York with the sharp ''hurrahs" of the American and French war heroes who are here aiding the Liberty loan campaign.
 From the throats of 400 "Anzacs' men from Australia and New Zealand the canyons of lower Broadway and the wider thoroughfares of Fifth ave- nue reverberated with the peculiar cheering of the Australians and an an- swering "coo-oo -o-o-ee" of women from their homelands who lined the sidewalks. Most of these women wore mourning. Few men from Australia were in the throngs. and these were far above the military age. The black dresses of the women told the reason.
 Like the visit of the French Blue Devils, the coming of the "Anzacs' was unannounced. But, unlike the Frenchmen and the Americans from .Pershing's forces who are aiding in Puberty loan rallies, all of them are Ffzafoes.
 They all saw service on the Gallipoli peninsula against the Turks and after the withdrawal of the allied forces from that theatre faced the Germans on the western front in France. l It is for only a few days that these big, rangy men, most of them from l the sheep runs and farming country, with their campaign hats cooked on the sides of their heads and bearing i the rising sun" insignia of the twin commonwealths, will be seen on the 1 streets of New York urging delin- quents to subscribe to the Liberty loan. Having recovered from wounds, they are again on their way-with 1 more than two thirds of their journey l ended-to the battlefelds of Europe to take up arms anew against the Teu- tonic allies.
 On the march uptown the ''Anzacs' l were received at City nall by Mayor Hylan. Bands played the British and
 American national anthems. Rear Ad-
 miral Nathaniel R. Usher and a guard
 of honor received the visitors at the
 Battery when they landed. Their triI
 across the Pacific was by way of the
 Panama canal and the men had beer
 on the ocean for 45 days
 After the parade the men attended
 a luncheon in their honor at an up
 town restaurant. Later they wen; sightseeins.- Automobiles were placed
 at their disposal and thea tres threw
 open their doors to them. Attentions
 of every kind were showered upor
 them.

2o,ooo PRIZE TO SPEED
 UP SHIPBUILDlNG
To Be Divided Among Workmen in Yard Turning Out Greatest Excess Tonnage.

Philadelphia, May "A grand prize of $20,00 will be given to the workers of the fabricating shipyard along the Atlantic coast that produces the larg- est excess in tonnage over the present shipbuilding program of the federal government. This was announced to- night at a speed up. get-together"s dinner given by Charles M. Schwab to the officers and others connected with the shipbuilding plants under the emergency fleet corporation.
 Some days ago MT. Schwab, who is director general of ship construction, said he would give $10,000 to the work CTS of the yard that showed the great est excess of the program. The presi- dent of the yard at Bristol, Pa. quickly announced that he would add s10,00O to the prize if his yard won. Tonight the officers of the fabricating plants at Hog Island and Newark, N. J., made similar announcements for their yards.
 About one hundred shipbuilders at tended the dinner, representatives be- ing present from the Newark. Bristol and Hog Island concerns and the fab- treating yard under construction at. Wilmington N. c. MT Schwab. Charles. Piez, general manager of the ener- gency fleet corporations; Ava c. Din-i key of the Midvale Steel company and the presidents of all the fabricating yards made speeches in which they pledged to put more speed than ever into the work of making ships.

constellation of a neatless day at present. The seasonal decline in the volume of animals coming to market is now in progress and it's volume will undoubtedly further decrease during the next few months, as is usual, but the probable amount of such decrease is still obscure.
 For Shipment Abroad.
 "The necessities of shipment abroad to our amry and allies are very large and amount roughly to 75,000,0Q0 pounds of meat and meat products per week, against a pre- war normal of less than 150o0 900 pounds. Even with these large shipments, the allies have found it necessary to re- duce consumption of all kinds of meats and poultry to an average of about one and one-quarter pounds per week per person in order that no fur ther draft should be made on ship ping that is now required for the transport of our soldiers.
 Elimination of Waste.
 Our consumption of meat is about three and one-quarter pounds per week per person and if we are to make both balance during the short marketing season, we must have fur ther economy. If the public will con- tinue in rigorous elimination of waste and will further economize in reduc- ing the quantity prepared for each meal of all kinds of meats and poul- try, more. particularly beef. and will restrict their purchases accordingly the food administration hopes that the ! necessary balance can be maintained
 Will Avoid Inconvenience.
 "A general adherence to these rec concentrations will avoid the incon- veniences which arise in many direc- tions from meatless days and vii cause less interference in the daily 1 preparation of food. There is now 2 seasonal abundance of milk and milk products which can well be substi- tuted in various forms.
 Cause of Shortage of Fish.
 "The shortage of fish during the past few months due to the necessity of naval requisition of trawlers ant enlistment of fishermen for the navy should be considerably relieved by the expansion which has been arranged il | other forms of fishing'

The lull which has brooded over the western battle line continues. The expected German attacks on the Npres and Amiens fronts have not been launched. Here and there the oppos- ing artilleries have broken forth into wild bonn bardments such as usually arr nreiudes to massed attacks on the allied lines. but they have died out after a few hours. Here and there local operations have been carried out for the purpose of straishtening lines and raiding the enemy's positions. but they have not developed into anything unusual.
 The Germans must attack soon or acknowledge their defeat in their am bilious attempt utterly to crush the allied armies. The present phase of tho battle is not unlike that before Ncrdun two years ago. after the first German rush had been stopped and even attempts 10 carry local objectives had met with defeat
 Germany has lost heavily, but the emperor still has reserves 10 throw

BODY OF ANOTHER VICTIM
 OF HELMUTH SCHMIDT
Found Under Floor of House in De-
 troit Formerly Occupied by Him.

Detroit, Mich. May 2.-Wrapped in canvas, the body of Irma Pallatinus was found today under the cement floor in the basement of the home here formerly occupied by Helmuth Schmidt, whose suicide in the High land Park jail ten days ago has re- suited in an investigation to deter mine the fate of at least three women who lived with Schmidt as his wife. Mrs. Edward Rederer, a sister of Irma Pallatinus, identified strand of hair as that of her sisters and examination revealed the fact that the woman had been strangled to death with clothes line.
 Miss Pallatinus accompanied Schmidt here from Lakewood. N. J. and relatives state that the couple were married in New York. this be- ing disputed, however, by Schmidt's daughter and widow, Mrs. Tietz- Schmidt. The woman disappeared suddenly two years ago.
 The discovery was made shortly af- ter the officials had given up the ex- -cavation work. A workman throwing up a last shovelful of earth uncovered the. canvas. The body had been placed beneath the cement floor which had then been carefully re- covered so that no signs showed .hat it had been tampered with.

Washington.-Ala 2s-9n4y-= $249 .606. -. 900 remains to be subscribed to the Liberty loan to reach the three billion minimum mark. and a headquarters statement tonight said "the prospects for an over subscription are conSid- cred hopeful" The total reported was $2.751, ,360,700. which did not include subscriptions obtained today It was an addition of s172O0O,0V0 in the last 24 hours.
 The multitude of small subscrip- tions pouring into local headquarters today, stimulated by the appeals to "buy another bond' and match the president" created genuine enthusi- asm among treasury officials The movement to get individuals to buy $50 bonds to keep pace with Presi- dent Wilson, who subscribed for a baby bond" after already buying all he felt able to pay for, grew beyond bounds planned by originators of the feature, and telegrams received today characterized it as the distinctive campaign feature of the third loan"
 Following is the treasurys report by districts:
 District. Subscription. Pct Boston ........... s244172, GOO 97 Philadelphia ....... 222,313.150 SS New York ...... 7O6,976,S50 7S
 One of the most encouraging fea lures of today's reports was New York's increase of approximately S79.000,000, of which only about $25,- 0c0,000 was in large subscriptions | Members of the New York committed wired that the district was expected to top it's minimum quota by a gocL margin.
