as successful evacuation and they
are inclined to accept the German
statement as promulgated for home
consumption. 1t was said that for the

dead. might further agitate the Ger
man civil population
At the same time, it is not doubted
that the German leaders expected the
stroke and made such preparations as
they could toward getting their main
forces out OF the salient The swift
ness of the American advance on the
flanks, however, seems to have upset
their plans. And it is believed here
that the figures OF. war material cap
tired will lear out this view.

next few WEEKS
MAY Determine
RESULT OF WAR
Australian Premier States AL
lies Now Facing Supreme
Crisis-Huns Must Act.
fRy Associated Press)


LONDON. Thursday. June 81. (via
Ottawa). William NJ. Hughes, pre-
rier OF Australia, speaking at lun-
cheon OF the London chamber OF COM
merce today said that the allies were
facing the supreme crisis OF the war.
The next few weeks were pregnant
with tremendous possibilities. The
German militarism fully recognized
that they must either achieve de-
cisive victory now or continue hope
less struggle against daily increasing
odds.
The speech Of DR.. Won Kuehlmann,
the German foreign secretary, he de-
clared, was a clear admission that the
recent enemy offensive had been bar
rem In its gains and that military sue
cess. II not impossible, was further
OF than ever, and unless victory was
gained politically Germany must pre-
pare for long war.
The change in the German tone, In
the opinion Of Premier Hughes, was
due to a realization Of Americas great
effort. The Germans also knew that
the Anglo-French armies were con-
fdently awaiting the next onslaught,
while the much-vaunted Austrian Of
fensive had spent itself and any day
might see the Austrian armies in head
long rout and the civilian population
in open rebellion.

FAIL TO OBTAIN
SUFFRAGE VOTE
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Equal
suffrage supporters in the senate, al
though disappointed by the failure to
obtain a vote yesterday on the house
resolution proposing submission OF the
suffrage amendment to constitution to
the states. today began preparations
to force q vote on the resolution at an
early dato next week. The suffrage
resolution, already passed by the
house was withdrawn yesterday after
three hours of debate to give way to
the army appropriation bill. but not
until after heated debate by its sup
porters and opponents.
Yesterdays failure to force a vote
was regarded by some members OF the
senate as indicating that the consider
alton of the resolution would be post
poned indefinitely. Senator Jones, of
New Mexico, chairman OF the senate
woman suffrage committee, however,
declared that an attempt would be
made to bring up the resolution imme-
diateiy after disposal Of the pending
appropriation bills.
