VIOLENT BoMBARDMENT

LONDON. May 27-The Reuter- cor respondent at headquarters in France described the German bombardment as scarcely less violent than that which heralded the German offensive on March 2i. Class hells were employed Tin great quantities and the lombard ment and infantry attacks between Soissons and Rheims were on more formidable scale than in Flanders.
 The Germans. according to this cor respondent, employed their familiar formations. dense waves of infantry following closely in the wake of a lifi- ing barrage and they pushed fresh troops up with characteristic reckless ness.
 Among the signs of resumption of the grand offensive are that the enemy is heavily smelling our far back areas with high velocity guns and also his airmen are unusually venturesome," l" continues the dispatch.

 Evidence that the allied supreme command was forewarned of the at tack may be found in the fact hat British troops are fighting there. It ;las been believed that the British forces did not hold positions much south of the SOmme, east of Amiens.
 Crown Prince in Command
 The German crown prince is in command in this sector and this may indicate a serious eoffrt to break the allied line. Grown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria is the nominal commander in Artos and Picardy and the German crown prince, for dynastic reasons, will strike to outo whatever success was attained by his colleague further north.
 1t is probable that American troops are engaged in the fighting both "n the French and British fronts.
 It is known that American troops are close behind the allied lines in Flanders, while some time ago it was reported that they were near Rheims.
 The late official reports note severe fighting in the ApremOnt forest where Americans are known to be holding

 It is officially reported from Wash ington that American positions in the Picardy sector near Cantgney and Montdidier. have been subjected tO at tacks and that at placesethe Germans penetrated them.
 Almost coincident with the new Gel man assault, the Italians launched a blow at the Austrian lines in the mountain region to the northwest Of Lake Garda. According to reports they have carried Monticello Pass, the vii lage of Presena. Mont Zigolon and the mountain spur to the east. De fore them lie parallel streams lead ing down into the Lagarima valley and, if they successfully carry out their attack there, it is possible TOT them to outfiank the entire Austrian position in the north of Italy.
 The long range bombardment or Paris has been resumed.

SUMNER VACATION
 RATES TO REMAIN
CBy Review Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Examina-
 tion today of Director General Me
 AdoO's order raising freight rates on
 bisis of 25 per cent and passenger
 fares to three cents a mile, and abol-
 ishing all lower intrastate freight and
 passenger rates, indicated that the
 average increase would be higher
 than p per cent.
 Many changes and readmstments
 will be made by the railroad admin

NO FOREIGN DUTY FOR GENERAL WOOD
CBy Revlew Leased Wlrel


 WASHINGTON, May 27.-SayinS that it was not the custom Of the department to explain orders to ct' ficers," Secretary Baker tonight re fused to comment on the order issued today detaching Major General Leon ard Wood from command of the 59th national army division. Major Cen eral Wood is senior officer in the reg ular army and the order issued today means that he will not lead the divi sion stationed at Camp Funston to France. It was learned that Major General Wood is slated to command the western army department with headQuarters at San Francisco but no official announcement of the change of orders was made.
 Expected Service in France
 The general was at the war de partment during the day conierring with Secretary Baker and other offt cials and it is understood he urged strongly that if he must stay a- nome he at least be given an assignment promising more active duty than a command in the west.
 Up to a day or two ago at most there was nothing to indicate that the department had any other pur- pose than to send the general to the front when his division went and there is every reason to lelieve he was fully expecting to go over. lie submitted to a physical examination on his return from France, where he was wounded by the bursting of a French gun, passed all tests and Il was believed that the only obstacle tc his being sent to the front had been removed.

 Must Defend Paris
 From the French point of view the road to Paris must be defended at all costs. The British attach supreme importance to the channel ports and the German thrusts appear to be cun- ningly planned to exert the greatest popular pressure on the allied leaders to draw their reserve strength to the south and north, gradually weakening the line in the center.
