EXTRAVAGANCE CENSURED

Washington, D. c., May 3.-Five
million men must be sent to the bat.
tIe front by the United States within
year, Senator McCumber Of North
Dakota declared today in an address
to the senate which revealed Amer.
ica's work during the first year In the
war. The results Of America have
been almost negligible up to tho pres
ent, he said. Six months have been
wasted by the shipping board and
$640, 0,000,00 for aircraft "has been
worse than squandered."
~ we fail to put less than
100000 men on the fighting limo
before the end Of another year."
he continued, I'VE will again have
grossly failed to measure Up to
our moral duty. We will have
charged to our discredit another
year Of colossal blunders."
CONTRASTS STATEMENTS
Senator McCumber contracted the
statement Of President Schwab of tho
Emergency Fleet corporation, that the
United States would produce ship tor
mage Of only 10000, 900 dead weight In
1918, with estimates Of the U-boat
losses Of 1000, 900 gross tons In 1915,
and said:
"a program which contempIates but
ten million tonnage, is triflino with the
most serious question that ever con.
fronted this country. .lt 10 worse than
trifiina. It 10 suicidal. ,.
MUsr7kEEP ALLIES IN FIELD
s. "Our only hope. Of winning this
war is in being able to keep our
allies In the field another year.
That means that It 10 Incumbent
on US to supply them with food.
II we can't get armies into the
field, let Us at least send food
and munitions to those who are
fiqhtinq our battles"
As a preface to his conclusion, Sem
ator McCumber asserted that what we
had lacked most was the foresight
and determination to get up and be
doina, "when the flying sparks Of that
great world war threatened to pro.
duce a conflagration that might force
Us on the firing line"
1--WE seem to have gotten so bewild-
cred in mass Of little things that
we have lost sight Of the great re.
ouirements," he said. 1.-THE failure
Of our shippina board is the agsravat
ing example Of failure to grasp big
Unparalleled extravaganza along
every line of national endeavor
was another reason for failure. the
North Dakota senator contended.
We have been literally burning UP
money which the taxpayers have
cheerfuIIy paid to support fight
ing army, he charged. "While we
can't win this war without buying
Liberty bonds, neither can we win
it by making bonfires Of the money
received from Liberty bonds" az
The bIuster Of the public press,
which has grossly exaggerated every.
thing in our favor, has been another
factor in our delay. e

The gong roared; the foreman drop
ped his knitting and a pair of socks
for a soldier was left unfinished un-

The knitting idea proved contagious
from the start but rivalry has grown
so keen that eight machines in six de-

TRENCH TAKE
INITIATIVE ON
AMIENS FRONT
Telling Blow Registered on Huns
Along Line of More
Than a Mile
POSITIONS ARE RETAINED
Continuity of Defenses on High
Ground Preserved by
the Allies $
ASSOCIATED PRESS.)

The French have taken the init
ative on the southern front and de-
livered telling blow on the Amiens
front. -.
Attacking along a front of more
than mile between Hailles and Cas-
tel, General Petain's troops yester-
day evening drove the Germans from
Hill 50, overlooking the Avre river,
southeast.
This ground is probably more valu-
able than any other along the Sonlme
line. 1t was at Hailles that tthe Ger
mans effected their greatest west
ward penetration in their Amiens
drive, and at Hill 80 they were less
than three miles from the Paris-Am-
lens railway.
With this new terrain, and excellent
line of defense appears to have been
taken up by the entente forces in this
region.
Continuity Preserved. -.
The positions of the French at Han.
gard, and those of the British on the
villes- -BretOnneux ridge, preserve the
continuity of the line on commanding
ground at virtually all the vital spots
ncrth of the Somme. ,..
III the Villers. .Bretonneux region,
there has been a further improvement
of the entente positions. the French
gaining ground in local fighting last
night. y. 'S
Flanders and Picardy, and the Arras
salient between, continue quiet, and
thte Germans have given no sign Of
where the next blow will be or when
it will come. The. present lull In the
fighting no wexceeds three days and
there has been less minor activities
than during the previous break In the
heavy fighting in Flanders.
Offensive Not Ended.
The German offensive Is not ended
in the view of military authority and
the enemy is expected to make
further attempts to reach the channel:
The supreme. inter.alied war council
has completed two days session
with a meeting at Abbeyville. north.
west OF Amiens. All military ques'
tions were discussed and decided on,
and the results obtained are reported
to have been most satisfactory.
Premier Clemenceau, who presided,
said that General Foch who as the re-
suit of the conference 1t is reported
is commander in chief Of the allied
forces in the west Is very optimistic.
No Artillery Activity.
In Flanders there has been no ac-
tivity by the artillery, while on the
British portion of the Picardy front.
a German raid at Hebutere, north OF
Albert, has been repulsed.
French troops have driven back the
Germans in local attacks in Hangard
wood, and southwest Of Mailly-Rain-
eval, south of Hangard, they have cap
tured Baune wood. Berlin reports the
situation as unchanged and records
only artillery duels on the various
fronts.

CAMP CUSTER WOULD BE BEST
CANTONMENT IN WORLD IF IT
WERELOCATED NEAR BISMARCK

Somewhere in Camp Custer, Michi.
gan,' May 3.-Were Camp Custer q
cantOnment OF some $4,000 men, locat.
ed southeast OF Bismarck about four
miles In a location commonly known
as Fort Lincoln" I might say that
it would be the most ideal camp in
the world. One reason for this asser-
tion is because the camp itself is one
OF the most complete, we'll organized
and most sanitary of all camps. An.
other reason Is because, If situated
near Bismarck, it would then be locat-
ed in the Paramount state in the
union. The state of sunshine and
grain, broad prairies and plains with
incompatible and invincible native
sons. To North Dakota belongs the
best, therefore, Camp Custer should
be In the Non-partisan state.
However, the exact location of Camp
Custer Is not to be sneezed at. 1t
is here among the great grape arbors
and fruit orchards of the extremely
solvent Michigan farmers. Great syca-
topography of the surrounding land
scape and crpstal rivers and hurrying
rivulets explore their endless ways
thru the rich fields of black loan and
level fields Of young barley which are
bordered by rail fences of the old
type.
The only disagreeable feature. re-
garding the entire camp site is the
fact that the cantonment proper sits
in a group of sand hills and on windy
days the flying sand makes one think
of the Missouri flat between Bismarck
and the river. However, it does have
its redeeming feature, viz: we notice
the absence of mud after a rain and
the fact that on windy days it is un-
necessary to wash. You see all one
