Odell Cuts Ice Price
To Cellar Dealers
He Makes Announcement Fol-

Sales Plan

Immediately following Market Com

Counseps ruling that he must not buy

Administrator Odell declared he, too
had modified his stand and would re-
duce the fixed prices that the small

The reduction is 2h cents a hun

cents a hundredweight, delivered to
the cellars. The price to the con-
sumer, SO cents a hundredweight, is
unchanged.
Under the new scale charitable in
stltutions may obtain ice at rs cents
hundredweight, delivered, and con-
sumers may buy it at $3.50 a ton and
do their own delivering. The new
price to pedlers, undclivered, is 25

The reduction is not so great as DR..

Days principal contention was on be-
half of the pedlers and cellar men
who, he said, were made to paw so
high a price that they were in danger
OF being put out of business.
The reduction, according to Admin

British Keep Pledge to
Respect Feast Day

PARIS, May 30.-Although the Brit
ish government has promised not to
carry out air raids to-day-the feast
of Corpus Christi-on German cities
which are not in the vicinity Of the
front, the German long range gun re-
sumed the bombardment of Paris this
morning. The firing began at an ear
lier hour than is usual, but was brief,
and the long range gun was not heard
after the early hours until the bonn
bardment started second time at
sunset.
The British promise was made upon
the receipt through the Vatican of a
request recently made by Cardinal Won
Hartmann, the Archbishop Of Cologne,
that there should be no bombing in
Cologne during the time of the Corpus
Christi procession in that city, which
recently had been damaged seriously
by British air raids.
The removal of children from Paris
was begun this morning, when 1,Oo0

Unlikely This Year, =,
Diplomat Says
Central Powers Have Only
500, 900 Men There, 800, 900
Fewer Than Needed
Allies Have 100000
Move on Vienna Through Italy
and From Salonica Urged
to End the War

WASHINGTON, May 30.-A Balkan
diplomat expressed the belief to-day
that there would be no decision on the
Macedonian front this year. Advices
from Salonica state that combined Bull
garlan, Turkish, Austro- Hungarian and
German troops in the Balkans number
only 100000, and that in order to I'M
dertake an offensive intended to be de-
clsive the enemy must have at least
100000 men.
The Germans have only four divi-
s1ons on the Macedonian front and can
not spare another division from the
west, 1t was declared. Austria Hungary
might spare more soldiers, but to do so
this year would be impracticable, owing
ooth to the expected offensive against
Italy and also to the possibility that
Austro-H Hungarian rcinforcements NAV
be required by Germany in France and
Flanders. In addition, large bodies of
soldiers are needed for garrison duty
in Austria because Of the internal
troubles.
Balkan authorities are not LOOKING
for any decisive action by the inter
national army in that theatre before
next year. At the present time, there
are 100000 Allied troops on the Mace.

were last reported to the southeast
and northeast of Bermuda along the
north and southbound lanes.
1t was generally understood that the
Uboats had been pursued on several
occasions and that they had not at
tackled any merchant or war vessel.
This gave rise to the belief at Bar
bados and Porto Rico that the sub
marines were seeking to break through
a tight line of patrol guarding the
Gulf Of Mexico, in an effort to get
messages through to Vera Cruz.
The Caxias Recalled
According to the passengers the
CaXias had left Barbados and was ten
hou<s on her way northward when she
was called back by wireless and waited
there day pending instructions from
British and American patrols. She
was finally instructed to proceed over
a course that brought her to her des-
tination yesterday three days late
From the time the Caxias left Bar

Carvaia never left the bridge. The
watch was doubled until port was

On Saturday night the passengers
on deck were startled by the glare of a
searchlight that swept the Caxias from
stem to stern. They said it was too
high to come from submarine. The
light disappeared as suddenly as it
came, and it is believed that wire
less message followed the flash. In
stantly the Caxias put about and trav-
elled to the southeast for twelve hours
then she steamed to the northeast.
According to Mrs. James Phillips, of
431, West Forty fifth Street, New York
City, the Caxias left Barbados at 8 80
p. m. on Wednesday. She said she
was informed by the officers soon after
departure that U-boats were supposed
to be in the Gulf Stream, and the
news spreading about the vessel caused
some alarm. "On Sunday night, when
we were we'll to the eastward of the
warm waters of the Gulf Stream" she
said, Eve we're ordered below, and the
vessel took q zigzag course, which it
followed until daylight"
When the searchlight swept over the
vessel on Saturday night all deck lights
were extinguished, and stewards and
sailors were sent about the ship closing
portfolios.
Sir Leslie Probyn said yesterday:
"There is not the slightest doubt but
there are U-boats in these waters.

they were sighted on the journey
northward. l am on a diplomatic mis-
sion, and therefore am not permitted

Allied commerce was reported yester-
day by passengers who arrived at an
Atlantic port from Caracas on the Red

Travellers on the Caxias told of un-
usual activity on the entire trip north
from Barbados. which is about 1900
miles south Of New York, and added
that they were forced by wireless mes

Officers of the Philadelphia, which
is in the service between Caracas, Ven
ezuela, Curacao, Porto Rico and New
York, declared that they had not been
warned of the presence of submarines
on their routes.
Vessels Warned by Wireless
Passengers on the vessel said, how
ever, that it was generally reported in
San Juan that two or more hostile
submarines were cruising between Key
West and Barbados and that several
vessels had been warned by wireless to
keep within the Gulf of Mexico from
two to four days until ordered to pro
ceed north.
Sir Leslie Probyn, the newly ap
pointed Governor General of Jamaica,
on his way from Barbados to his new
post via New York, who was d passen-
ger on the Caxias, confirmed the re-
port and amplifed it with dates at
which warnings were sent out.
The CaXias was informed on May 16
by British and American scouts and
cruisers that two hostile submarines
were lying in the north and south
bound tracks of merchantmen between
North American, South American and
