German Socialists Stand
Impossible, Says Henderson

LONDON, May 1.-Arthur Henderson,
leader of the Labor members of the
House of Commons, in an interview
to-day regarding the statement that the
German Social Democratic leaders had
declared that only by complete victory
on the Western front. accompanied by
annexations and indemnities, could a
solution of the war be reached, said:
"Those of us who favor policy Of
I conciliation made it an essential con-
dition that all concerned must have
publicly declared their willingness to
act in conformity with the principles
OF mo annexations or punitive indemni-
ties and the right of national self
determination
"There is no question of confer
ence being possible now, until the Ger
man Socialists have accepted this posi-
tion and are ready to press their gov
ernment to apply these principles hon.
sst!y and unreservedly to every ques-
ton Of political and territorial read
iustment with which any subsequent
peace conference will have to DEAL"
New-York tribune., 1918-05-02
KENNEL May Proue
Death Trap for Ir,uaders

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, May (via Ottawa) The
Franco British batteries are constant
ly ,shelling Mount KENNEL. Unless
the enemy can push on beyond this
isolated stronghold the hilltop may
become virtually a deathtrap.
The advantage of KENNEL to the
enemy is tactical one He is now
committed to an attempt to push on
and capture the whole chain of hills.
The Australians to-day rushed ar
enemy post near Meteren.
The German field dopots are being
heavily drawn upon to replace recent
casualties. The 18th German Reserve
Division has just received a company of
250 boys of the 1919-'20 class, who had
only eight weeks training and were not
to be put into the fighting unless abso-

that they may have to be used.

Austria Hungary and Germany. If
there was serious trouble owing to
May Day labor disorders, strikes, ETC.,
it was said, the moment would be most
opportune for General Foch to launch
his counter offensive.
There was no appreciable anxiety
here on account Of the delay in the
counter offensive. General Foch, mill
tary observers asserted, could afford
to wait, as he undoubtedly was being
reinforced more rapidly and more
strongly than the Germans, and would
be all the better able to deliver blow
in q crushing fashion when he decided
the time had come for a general
Allied attack.
The highest qualification was ex-
pressed in official circles that the
American troops were able to par
ticipate in the battle, and that their
increasing numbers would enable the
United States to take a constantly
growing part in the possibly decisive
battles this year. The total number
of American soldiers already in France
has not been disclosed, but it is gen.

vealed.
Allied spokesmen have reiterated
lately that American troops are flowing
in a steady stream to France, but it
was intimated to-day that the size of
this stream, VIII CHI already was large,
would not be diminished, but would
increase with every additional avail
able transport.
1t is expected that the augumenta-
tion of Americas overseas expedition
by the new increments being rushed
over will in very few months bring
an end to the brigading of United
States soldiers with British battalions.

Austrian Offensive
Against Italy Urged
By German, Press

LONDON, May lit is worthy of
note in connection with the official
statement from Austro- Hungarian head
quarters Tuesday reporting increased
activity on the italian front that Ger
man papers recently have been refer
ring to supposed impending revival
of the Austrian offensive against Italy
on a grand scale. The comments have
read at times as if they were intended
to exert pressure on Austria Hungary
to begin an attack for which the Ger
mans are eager as 81 diversion on the
extreme flank of the Entente front.
Lieutenant General Won Ardenne in
the "Beriner Tageblatt" writes:
"The tension amid which the world is
watching the drama in France and
Flanders is likely to be increased as
soon as the Italian theatre becomes
livelier. 1t cannot be denied that while
the German people await a revival OF
the fighting activity there with full
confidence they also await it with i'm
patience. Never was the opportunity
for rcviving an Austro-H Hungarian Of
fensive more favorable than at pres
ent."
VIENNA, May 1 (via London) An
official statement issued to-day by the
Austrian War Office says:
"More lively fighting activity on the
Southwestern front continued through
out the whole of yesterday. Italian
rcconnoissances were frustrated at sew
eral points"

was the worst day the Germans have
experienced since the opening of the
great offensive, the English newspapers,
hitherto reticent in view of the fluctua-
tions of the battle, now comment on
the operations in tone Of confidence
they have not hitherto displayed.
"The Times" says: "Of all the vio-
lent combats witnessed in the last few
weeks, we know of none which is a
more hopeful augury for the Allies
than this ten-mile German failure"
1t is pointed out that the public is
apt to reckon victory in terms of often
sive success, but defensive victory
like that on Monday may contribute
the campaign. namely, destruction of
the enemy's fighting strength. From
this viewpoint, the Germans, despite
their spectacular successes, can be re-
garded as having had the worst of the
balance of nearly six weeks fighting,
for it must rot be forgotten that they
sustained series of disastrous losses
of which that of Monday was the most
sanguinary Of the last fortnight.
Other strokes undoubtedly will come
before the German reserves are ex-
hausted, but confidence is felt that
wherever the Germans try they will
hnd the Allles ready. NOW tnaC the
.etss1ek of rc@sfewer than hundred
IK6TYsand Germans has been broken in
a sheer trial of strength on ground
none too favorable by the thinner
Allied line, there is & growing hope
that Ypres will not be abandoned.
The correspondents emphasize the
fact that everything favored the Ger
mans on Monday. They had magnifi-
cent artillery support. favoring fog,
innumerable machine guns, masses Of
men and unlimited explosives, yet they
failed after experiencing day of
steady slaughter which only slackened
with the fading light.
