British Lost
3S, M en-
in Last Week

London, May British casual
ties reported during the week end
ing today reached total of 1851.
OF this number 6,555 officers and
men were killed or died of wounds
and 32,136 were wounded or report
ed missing. The casualties were
divided as follows:
Killed or died of wounds: Officers,
499: men. 6,056.
Wounded or missing: officers, l.
$50: men, 30.277.
British casualties reported during
April. starting with low figures in
the first week began 10 mount rap
idlv thereafter so that the total for
the month reached 52,475. The re-
turns from the heavy fighting
against the German offensive in late
March and April, are now appar-
emily in full flow.
Figures for casualties reported
for separate weeks have not been
made available with anything like
uniformity during the war, but it
appears probable that those report
ed during the current week are the
heaviest in any single week of the
fighting. In the days of the Somme
battle. of 1916, however, the losses
reported in August average 10000
per week and an average Of more
than $4,000 has been reached in sew
eral other months.

Chamberlain Announces
Plan for Probe as Greg
ory Starts Task.

Washington, May 7.-Investiga-
tion of the aircraft situation swift
ly began taking shape today both in
the department of Justice and in
congress.
Attorney General Gregory, acting
at President Wilson's direction, be-
gan planning the investigation
which is to disclose If there has
been malfeasance or misuse OF the
$640 900. 600 appropriated.
At the same time M. Chamber
lain of the senate military commit

the committee proposed to have a
thorough inquiry of its own in
which he declared it would locate
the personal responsibility.
The aircraft subject came up as
soon as the senate convened.
Senator Brandege was among the
first to call for one and Chairman
Chamberlain responded with his an
nouncement of the committee Ill
tentions.
The investigation, Senator Cham

never seen the Borglum report. but

the house were in accord with those
of the committee.
The senate committee he said was
part OF the governments authori.:

SUCCESS OF MOLE
ATTACK ADMITTED
BY GERMAN PAPER

London, May THAT the recent
British attack on the German sub
marine base at Zeebrugge was sue
cessful, is admitted by the Frank
furter Zeitung in commenting upon
the affair.
st would be foolish to deny" it
says, that the British fleet scored
a great success through a fantasti-
cally audacious stroke in penetrat-
ing intot one of the most import
ant strongholds over which the Ger
man flag floats.
However, unpleasant it may be,
we must frankly admit that the
enemy ships actually entered the
port of Zeebrugge. That being so,
there is no reason why they should
not achieve a similar feat at other
times. 1t therefore behooyes our
navy command to be alert, for we
have to deal with an antagonist of
remarkable boldness."

ERIN SITUATION

QUIET IS REPORT

London. May 7.-Treland re-
mains remarkably quiet, says the
Dublin correspondent in the Daily
Mail.
Although the church is raising"
he adds. 'an enormous national
defense fund which is being col
lected to fight conscription, it ap-
parently does not prefer TO accept
responsibility for the manner IN
which the money is spent and con-
troll OF the fund has passed into the
hands Of the Sim Fein. The lists
OF names OF men who signed the
anu-conscriptiOn pledge under the
direction of the priests is said to be
II the hands OF Sim Feiners as a
basis for registration system.
Conditions appear daily to be
growing worse as natiOnalism is
being spread further along on the
Sim Fem lodge.

Peril Austria

Berne, Switzerland, May la
Dor and Socialist organizations in
Austria threaten revolt against the
government action in suspending
parliament. Swiss newspapers
print a telegram from Vienna say
ing committees of the Socialist
ties club have decided to issue a
manifesto to the working class in
regard to the government action in
which the following declaration will
be made:
"If absolutism is reestablished
out of regard for pan-Germanism
which is prolonging the war, the
working classes will be forced to
fight for their rights"
London, May THE latest de-
velopments in the Austrian situa-
tion can be summarized as con
cesion. to the Germans and threats
to the southern Slavs.' says a dis
patch from The Hague to the Daily
Mail.
"At least" continues the CORES
pondent, this Is how the Czechs
and the southern Slavs regard the
decision of Premier Won Seydler to
introduce for Bohemia alone the re-
arrangement of the provincial ad
ministration which was promised
nearly year ago for all Austria.
THE Austrian Germans are
pressing for a number of admins
trative changes which would give
them influence over the machinery
of the government greatly in ex-
cess of their numerical proportion.
Won Soldiers announcement has
infuriated the Czechs. The south
ern Slavs are furious over the
proclamation that stern measures
will be taken to repress disobey-
anCe in the south"

gram OF the war department it s
OF the utmost Importance that
large quantities OF black walnut
lumber should be purchased for its
uses" the letter said. The loca-
ton OF black walnut trees. the
names OF the owners. the size OF
the trees and the price at which

large individual lots OF walnut tim
Der. but there is a very large sup

centers.
4 therefore appear . the we'll
known loyalty OF your organization
to secure for the government this

they should be requested TO show
their patriotism by doing all in
their power TO assist their govern
nent in this great war"

Gently removed from the post of
director of military operations at
the British war Office.
General Maurice last month was
transferred from British war Of
fee to active duties in the field. His
position as chief director of mill
tary operations was taken over by
General Delma Radcliffe, formerly
chief staff officer of the Canadian
army and chief of the British mill
tary mission at Italian headquar-
ters.
General Maurice asked what is
happening to Blucher-what has
become of the reserve?" On the fol-
lowing day General Haig, com
mander of the British forces, an
nounced that French reinforce
ments had reached the British front
and this was taken as proof by mill
tary critics that General Maurice's
intimation that General Foch was
slow in coming was unjust.
Mr.. BOnar Law said the army
council was dealing with questions
of discipline, growing out of let
ter written by General Maurice.
In General Maurice's letter." said
Bonar Law, resides two questions
the question of military Cisci-
pline in writing such a letter. and
the question of veracity of minis
terial statements"
The letter of General Maurice
was written to the morning papers,

statements in the house of COM
