London Times Predicts Another

LONDON, June 22.-Even the Times,
uneasy about the latest twist of the
Lloyd George war cabinet on home
rule, intimates that when the premier
speaks in the debate on the Irish
question Tuesday he will give another
turn to his policy.
On the war cabinet. which has au-
tocratic power, are Lord Curzon. Lord
Milner and Bonar Law, who are un"
ionists, formerly pledged in support
of the Orange policy of armed resist
ance to home rule. The two other
members are the premier, who pro-
fesses to be a home ruler. and George
Barnes, the labor member, who is
merly a cipher.
The premier will find it hard to
maintain his position that in no cir
cumstances will he produce the ,evi-
dence of the Sim Fein plot. His re-
fusal has proved a valuable asset to
the Sim Fein, for proof of the plot
would weaken them before every
body in Ireland except the small reVo-
iutionary element.
The tragedy OF the position for Ire
land is that everything Lloyd Georges
government has done has consistently
tended to play the Sim Fein game. and
the Sim Feiners owe their powerful
rosit:on today more to Premier Lloyd
George than to any other living man
TIE colonial premiers now in Lon
don for the imperial conference are
staggered by these untoward hap,
penines and by the control exercised
by anti-democratic elements like Lord
Curzon, Lord Miner and Bonar Law.
But the man behind it all is Sir Ed
ward Carson. He and not Bonar Law
,s the real leader of toryism, and he
has influenced the war cabinet far
more effectively since he resigned
from it than when he was member

PARIS, France, June IL, p. m.
(deIayed).-Of the four attacks begun
by the Germans in the great offensive
movements, the second on Haze
brouck and Bethune and the fourth
on Montdidier-Noyon and between the
forests of Compiegne and Villers-
Cotteret were the most costly to the
Germans in human sacrifice because
of the lack of the elements of sur
prise. These offensives failed in their
primary object of breaking the resist
ance of the French and British armies
or of destroying the morale OF the
French people. Even the approach
of the German troops and the possible
bombardment of Paris have had small
moral effect. Premier Clemenceau re-
mains the man of the hour and IS
recognized as necessary to the cause
of France and the allies.
The American forces have been
handled in this offensive with remark
able far-sightedness. not oniy IN
matchmaking with the Frencn ana
British, but in putting into battle only
those best prepared.

AUSTRIAN FOOD CRISIS
TOLD OF IN DISPATCHES
Ludendorff Has Difficulty Supply.
ing Western Front, News From
Bern States.

Seriousness of the food situation in
Austria and the difficulties of Luden-
dorff. German Quartermaster general.
in supplying the forces on the west
ern front are reflected in official dis
patches received here yesterday.
founded upon information gathered at
Bern.
The dispatches tell of diversions of
foods from the Ukraine and Bessa-
Germans. They recite correspondence
between Ludendorff and the mayors
of Vienna and Budapest, in which the
mayors give warning that they could
not be responsible for preserving or
der under such conditions.
Supplies Exhausted Since April.
Austrian food supplies have been
exhausted since April, the dispatches
say. and Austria has been trusting in
an agreement with Germany to fur
nish food up to August Is. On June
IA appeals by telegraph began to go
to the German high command declar-
ing that under existing arrange
were available for the whole of Aus
tria from the newly available sup
plies in the Ukraine and Bessarabia.
The mayor OF Vienna protested and
warned the German high command
he could not be responsible for pre-
serving order. At the same time he
called the mayor of Budapest into
conference and sent teIegraphic pro-
tests to Ludendorff
He got only a promise that the

All Admire q. S. Fighters.

This policy has had a marvellous ef-
feet on the confidence given our aiiies.
If any uncertainty existed previously
in their minds respecting American
soldiers, this has been gloriousiy dis-
PEELED, for the fighting of our troops
excites the admiration of the French
peopIe, high and low. Today the
hopes of the French nation are en-
shrined in the American Army and the
effect is that the expectations in their
efforts is SO great that II Will De olin-
cult to live up to 1t.
This admiration not only extends to
the Army but to the people that place
the power of the nation in the hands
of the President to secure absolutely
United action. 1t is felt that this eX-
ample should be followed. by the ma
tions of the entente.
Hope for Move on East Front.
People here who hang on President
wilson's declarations with profound
and almost religious conviction are
awaiting some arrangements for re-
establishing the allied fronts in the
east They hope that they will be
made in Washington, in view of the
Presidents statements that Russia
should be left free to develop itself.
German control over Russia is now
being strengthened day by day.
1t is understood here that the con-
tinued amalgamation of American
troops with the French will be neces-
sary during the summer which will
settle the destiny of the entente, as
Germany Is determined to reach an
issue If not in France then in Italy,
where later strong reinforcementS
will be essential.
For the moment the German offen-
sive beginning June seems to be
over without it's controlling the for
ests of Compiegne or Villers-Cotter-
ct as base for operations on Paris.
The seriousness of the situation.
however, is not to be minimized. as
the outcome largely turns not only
on the arrival of American troops but
on the rapid completion of their train
ing for the battlefield.

Understood His Profession.

The professor of Jurisprudence in q
western university was lecturing to a
hundred embryo lawyers. He asked
whether anyone in America could own
property. One fellow answered, mo,
a criminal can't own property"
But the professor said: Suppose a
man who owns ranch gets into trou-
BILE with his neighbor, assaults him
and is put into the penitentiary, does
he still own the ranch?"
The class was unanimous that he
did, says the Youths Companion.
"If he did not continue to own It,"
went on the professor, what would
become Of it,"
That was supposed to settle the dis
cussion, but one boy called out, THE
lawyer would get It,"
There was hearty laugh, of course,
and the professor added:
I'VE learn two things from that apt
remark: be lawyer, and don't be a
criminal"
