Uncle Sam Bakes
Bread in Buffalo
To Break Strike

BUFFALO,, May 3.-Uncle Sam went
into the baking business here to-day to
meet situation created by a strike of
200 bakers in twenty shops. All wage
demands had been granted by the mas
ter bakers, the strike being precipitated
on the issue of hours, the men demand
ing a reduction of sixty minutes a
week and refusing to leave this ques-
tion to arbitration.
James B. Stafford, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator, acted promptly. He com
mandeered three of the largest bak-
cries, ordered them to discontinue all
baking except bread and instructed the
bakeshops where strikes are in force
to get their supply of bread from the
Federal bakeshops.
Men who would strike on such an
issue in the present crisis, Mr.. Stafford
said in letter, are not 100 per cent
American.
Following a conference with master
bakers this morning, Food Admins
traitor Stafford added three more bak-
cries to those working for the United
States government, these with the
three commandeered at midnight hav-
ing a total capacity of 100000 loaves
of bread daily. This amount, it was
said. would supply the city's normal
demands. Yesterday, when the first
effects, of the strike were felt, the
supply fell to $1,000 loaves.
Mr.. Stafford's action, it is said, is
without precedent in meeting stua-
tions caused by strikes.

ing at Villers-Breton-

Taken n

The temporary paralysis of the
German offensive in Flanders has
continued into the fourth day.
In two spirited local actions the
Allies have improved their posi-
tions appreciably on the vital
|. front east and southeast Of
Amiens, the sector where most oh.
servers expect the next big Ger
man blow to fall.
just south of the Avre River, where
the French recently captured
Senecat Wood, Petain's men ad-
vanced again and achieved what
Paris officially calls perfect sue
cess"
They took Hill 80 and a wood bor-
derng the Avre between Hail]es
and Castel. These positions were
the closest to Amiens held by the
enemy and of strategic Importance.
Hill 81 is three miles from the Paris
Amiens railway. The French op-
Grafton blunted the point of the
German salient second time.
North of the Luce the British and
French fought a spirited engage
ment with the foe near the mon
ument south of Villers- Breton
neux and captured more of the
valuable high ground on the pla-
teau between the Luce and the
Somme. Prisoners were taken
in both these operations.
American troops apparently did
not participate in the engage
ments, although their trenches
are not far off.
Correspondents in Holland and
Switzerland report distinct
drop in German confidence, due
to the long lull in the offensive.
AT the same time all Allied
spokesmen of prominence are
full of optimism regarding the
course the campaign is taking.
A representative of the British
War Office gave out a statement
saying the foe had used una
larger number of fresh divisions
than the Allies. So far in the
Flanders fighting, he said, the foe
had used thirty-five fresh divl-
sions, besides nine already there.
He still believed the main efforr
of the enemy would come south
of the Somme in a new !. at
tempt to separate the French and
British.
A further resumption of the north
ern offensive, however, NAV be
foreshadowed in the report Of a
tremendous hostile bombardment
of the Lys region yesterday
morning. There were very heavy
big gun duels at several other
points of the front.

Arms Before July

By c. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Secretarv
Baker expects to have an armv of
2,168,000 men and 10000 officers in
arms by July l. This became known
after the Secretary's appearance before
the House Committee on Military A.
fairs to-day, when he discussed chiefly
the appropriations that would be re-
quired by the Quartermaster's Depart
ment of the army-about half the S13.-
OO0,O00,000 or more which will be asked
for the coming year The exact amount
of this total was not disclosed to the
committee. 1t will only appear.as the
various items are explained.
General March, Acting Chief of
Staff, formerly an artillery officer with
General Pershing, will discuss the
ordnance appropriations with the COM
mittee on Monday. This is thu other
big item beside subsistence appropria-
tions explained to-day by Secretary
Baker and General March. On Tues
day appropriations for the air pro-
gramme will be discussed. How much
will be provided for air fighting is not
known. A pending bill appropriating
$400,000,000 additional for aircraft has
been withdrawn. Entire provision for
aircraft will be made in the measure
now being explained to the Military
Affairs Committee.

Germans Draft Belgians
To Build Big Guns

LONDON, May 3.-A dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph from Amsterdam,
says a frontier correspondent, asserts
that the Germans are constructing long
range guns, of the type used in The
bombardment Of Paris, at Seraing, five
miles southwest of Liege, in Belgium,
and that they have requisitioned the
Cockerill works for the purpose.
The dispatch says that all the work
men in the factory have refused to
work and will be deported this month.

Has Power to
Call 100000 Men

Secretary Baker does not require ad-
ditional authority to increase the ex-
listing army to 2,16S,o00 by July /.
Under the original draft act, as inter
preted by General Crowder, the War
Department still has power to call
100000, plus certain non-combatant
forces who go with them, making a
total of about 100000 men. AS many
as are required to bring the army up
to the number mentioned will be called
this month and next.
There is special reason to call them.
The number of troops in tas country
has been rapidly diminished since the
German offensive began and will be
still more rapidly diminished now that
the British are increasing the shipping
for their transportation. Military au-
thorities hold that there should always
be at least as many men training in
this country as there are abroad. The
reservoir here is required to make up
for wastage at the front and to in
crease the armies there. The supply
here would soon fall below the required
level if additional men were not called
out to take the places of those being
shipped.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-04
Army Here Must
Be Increased

AS the army abroad increases the
army here will have to increase- so
that if there were 100000 men abroad
100000 men here. For this purpose
it is not planned to build additional
cantonments, but some of those already
in existence may be enlarged.
An additional army may be raised
under the present laws, but additional
provision of guns and airplanes cannot
be made until the appropriation bills
now being explained 10 the House Com
mittee become law. These bills
or early in the following week. But

generals declined posts in the new
army for this reason.

According to recent cable dispatches
Germany demanded that Russia send
back home all sound German prisoners
and keep and care for the rest. On
the other hand, Germany herself pro-
bosed to send her invalid Russian
prisoners. TO Russia and keep the
others, which constitute considerable
asset, working for the German army
until the end of the war.

Montreal.-The charred bodies of Al

ruins of the Grey Nunnery, which was
destroyed by fire. 1t is feared many
more perished and searchers believed
the toll of death might reach 100. All
the inmates of the great buildings ex-

escaped. They included nuns, nursing
sisters, wounded or sick soldiers from
overseas, aged sick or crippled men
and women to the number of almost
1000.
When the flames were discovered
in the west wing the alarm was quick
ly given and all those able to help
themselves fed to places of safety.
The heroic nuns and nursing sisters
strove valiantly to save the sick and
wounded as we'll as the infants under
their charge The children were housed
in the section of the building where
the fire started and the flames spread
so rapidly it was impossible to save
them all.
None of the soldiers suffered injury,
however, although nearly 200 OF them
were quartered in the building. The
ages Of the inmates of the nunnery
ranged from two to three days to al
most a hundred years. Many Of the
inmates who died in the fire and smoke
were only few days or few weeks
old. The elderly inmates were housed
in another section of the nunnery.

room for improvement The most i'm
portant result has been the lossening
permitting a much more satisfactory
movement of fuel and raw and finish
ed products. Numerous important in
dustries, notably iron and steel, are
still operating at from so to rs per
cent of capacity, which prevents full
execution of Government orders and
eliminates civilian business almost en-
tirely. Government buyers have again
become active in dry goods markets,
on which they have fixed prices much
below current levels. AS result, nu-
merous producers are reported as sold
out, and have withdrawn offerings. In
the meantime, demand from distribu-
tors continues active, and the slight
heed paid to prices indicates conf
dence in good retail trade, despite
higher costs. Labor troubles have be-
come more serious in some branches,
notably in shipbuilding, and hence
more drastic measures of Federal con-
troll are anticipated, possibly including
diversion of workers from non-essen-
