lsments that tbs public apparently is
becoming dulled TO the horrors or the
Lusitania atrocty. II asks why there
is not commemorative procession this
year as there was last year, It adds:
ut is because the torpedoing OF the
Lusitania, summed up in one cold
blooded act, the savage ruthlessness Of
the German race, that the anniversary
OF that foul deed should be celebrated
when every other scommemoration is
forgotten"
Germany has not changed since
them," says the Daily Mall THAT is
the important thing for all of US to
remember. The repentant Germany. Of
which our paciflsts prattle, simply does
not exist. She still glorif1es In the sink
Ing of the Lusitania and the butchery
of women and children, and will repeat
that and every other atrocity again at
the first possible opportunity.

Germans in All Russia Having Ef-

Fire on Red Cross Train.

London May 7.--According to news
received from Russia thru independent
Swedish and Dutch channels, forward
ed from Christiania in a dispatch to
the Times, rumors OF the overthrow Of
the bolshevilk government, which have
been current recently, are unfounded.
They probably are due &c the fact that
the soviet administration is now NOV
ing in the direction Of greater modera-
ton.
The council of national commission
ers Is now being compelled to fight the
anarchists, says the dispatch. Just as
the Kerensky government had to fight
the bolsheviki.
Leon Trotzky, minister of war and
marine. is advocating compulsory labor,
resulting in friction with the anarchists.
THE most reassuring feature Is that
officials of the Kerensky regime are
resuming work." the dispatch adds.
This has resulted in restoration Of or
der to remarkable degree. especially
in the distribution of foodstuffs. Many
things. which no amount of speech
making could induce the people to do.
are now. being done under the inspira.
ton OF steadily grdwing hatred OF the
Russian nation against German oppres-
sion."

BRITISH LOSSES FOR WEEK.
Sum Total in Fisros Fighting Period
Less Than $4,000.

Sum Total in Fierce Fighting Period
Less Than $4,000.
London, May British casualties
reported for the week ending today
reached a total Of 3S,691.
OF this number 6.555 officers and men
were killed or died Of wounds. and
s2,136 were wounded or reported miss
ing. They were divided as follows:
Killed or died Of wounds-Oflcers,
4ss; men. 6,O56. Wounded or missing
Officers, 1859; men, 30,277.
British casualties reported during
ing April, starting with low Figures the
first week, began to mount rapidly
thereafter, so that the total for the
month reached SEATS. The returns
from the heavy fighting against the
German offensive in--late March and
April are now apparently in full flow.
Figures OF casualties reported for
separate weeks have not been made
available with anything OF uniformity
during the war butsit appears probable
that those reported during the current
week are t1e heaviest OF any single
week OF the fighting. In the days OF
the somme battle OF 1916 the losses, re-
ported in August, averaged 10000 per
week. An average Of more than $4,000
nas been reached in several other
months.

Germans No,D Admit
Attacks on Zeebrugge
Were Successful

London, May THAT the recent
British attack on the German subma-
rine base at Zeebrugge was successful
is admitted by the Frankfurter Eel
tung, in commenting on the affair.
1T would be foolish to deny" 1t says,
that the British fleet scored great
successful stroke in fantasticaliy
audacious stroke in penetrating into
one Of the most important strongholds
where the German flag floats. How
ever unpleasant it may be, we must
frankly admit that the enemy ships
actually entered the port of Zee
brugge That being so, there Is No
reason why they should not achieve
similar feat at other times. 1t there
fore behooves our navy command to
be alert. for we have to deal with an
antagonist Of remarkable boldness."

HUNS Eire on Rod cro,..

London. May ITO be fired on by a
German battery In the Ukraine north of
Odessa was the principal memory of
the American Red Cross mission to
Roumania. The German shells fell
about half a mile from the moving train
and did no damage to the train.
For the first hundred miles or so out
of Odessa the train travelled over a
only a short time before by Russian
military engineers.
On the second day, when the train
bearing the Americans was about 200
miles north Of Odessa, one of the doc
tors saw flash Of fire away off on the
horizon. 1t was quickly followed by q
loud explosion and a great shower OF
earth and rocks, as a shell burst in a
field about half mile from the moving
train. The first shell was followed by
many others, the bombardment con-
tinuing for five minutes.
Nobody knew what was going on, but
the general belief was that the train
had come within sight Of German OBJ
servation post which was trying to di-
rect the fire OF It's batteries to the rail-
road tracks. Military men on board de-
clared the shells were so inch or larger.
The shells appeared to fall In regular
line. as II the gunner had the railway
carefully registered. The range was a
little too great for the German guns.
and all the shells fell short.
At Kursk the Americans were greet
ed enthusiastically by several thousand
Bohemian troops who originally had
been prisoners captured from the Ger
mans. but lately had been fighting with
the Russians against the central pow
ers. Most Of these troops had offered
themselves for service in France.

it also was good In times Of peace.
He proposed an amendment to make
