now in the French battle lines as in
fantrymen and aviators. AS instruc-
tors for the Cuban escadrille, which
is intending to sail shortly for the
French front, the allies detailed two
of their leading airmen to Havana,
and both these flyers were native
Cubans.
Economically, Cuba's service has
been conspicuous. Cuba's crop Of
sugar this year totals 100000 long
tons, which is said to be the greatest
sugar crop ever raised by one country
in the worlds history.
The entire crop has been turned
over to the agencies of the United
States food administration and is be-
ing marketed at figure which, while
it brings a diminished profit to its
patriotic producers, at the same time
has tended to safeguard the world
rom proliteering and extortion in this
essential food commodity.
Besides this, Cuba is developing
her agricultural resources in other
lines to a great degree; so it is hoped
that the necessity for insisting this
year on the usual importations of
foodstuffs from the Uuited States will
be diminished in the months to come.
The Cuban Red Cross. headed by
Madame Mariana Seva de Menocal,
wife of President Menocal, has raised
s1,O00.OO0 for its work, and is now
equipping a hospital unit exclusively
of Cuban physicians and nurses for
service in France.

teT MORNING JOURNAL sesoiAL LEASED wrREl
America is stripping for the decisive
battle on the battle front OF Europe
In an executive session of the military
committee of the lower house of con-
gress Secretary of War Baker Major
General March. chief of staff, and
Provost Marshal General Crowder
have asked congress to give the presi-
dent blanket authority to increase the
United States army to whatever size
may be necessary to win the war.
This country now has nearly 2,000.-
600 men under arms and the army ap-
preparation bill for this year would
provide for an increase of this num-
ber to 100000.
While Americas plans for throwing
her every resource into, the battle
against Prussianism are maturing. the
lull which has brooded over the west
ern lines continues.
Only Local Operations.
Expected German attacks on tho
i-lies and Afnfens fronts have not
been launched. Here and there the
opposing artilleries have broken forth
into wild bombardments, such az
usually are preludes to massed attacks
on the allied lines, but they have died
out after few hours. Here and there
local operations have been carried out
for the purpose of Strengthening lines
aud raiding the enemy's positions but
they have not developed into anything
unusual.
The Germans must attack soon or
acknowledge their defeat In their am
bilious attempt utterly to crush the
allied armies.
The present phase of the battle is
not unlike that before Verdun, two
years ago, after the first German
rush had been stopped and even at
tempts to carry local detectives had
met with defeat.
Germany has lost heavily, but the
emperor still has reserves TO throw
into the fighting. The defeat Monday
on the n-Noormezeele line
southwest of Ypres has taught the
Germans that the allies are prepared
to stand their ground and there seems
little inclination at the present mo-
ment to renew conflict wnlcn
threatens to be disastrous.
The report that Czech soldiers, de-
sorting from the Austrian army. noW
are fighting with the Italians, has
been followed by a dispatch saying
that Rumanians who had been cap
tured by the Italians have asked per-
mission to fight against the Austrians
and that they are now on the firing
line.
The British forces in Palestine have
recaptured Es-Salt, village from
which they retired three weeks ago
under pressure from superior force
of Turks and Germans. This was ex-
pected after the capture of Simferopol
last week.
Ukrainian peasant deputies are re-
ported to have overthrown the gov
ernment of that republic. This report
follows closely dispatch saying that
many Ukrainian officials had been
imprisoned by the Germans for con-
spring against the military authori-
ties of the central powers. The new
regime has announced that 1t will
carry out the provisions of the Brest-
Litovsk treaty.

DEFT'.tT THE GERMANS

American troops in Picary, east of
Amiens have engaged the German in
fantry for the first time on the great
battle field and have emerged victor-
ious.
After shelling heavily the American
positions near Villers- BretonneuX,
south of the Somme and on the di-
rect route to Amines. three enemy
battalions attacked Tuesday night.
Sharp fighting took place all along
the line and the Germans were re-
pulsed. having sustained severe loss

the field. The American losses are
reported as rather severe"
Fighting for democracy and for
freedom of their homeland, Bohemian
andr Slav detachments are now facing
Austro- Hungarian troops along the
sectors in northern Italy Apparently
these units have been recruited from
former residents of the dual mon.
archy and from deserters from tho
enemy ranks Austro- Hungarian
commanders who have many thous-
ands of czechs and Slavs in their units,
are said to be fearful off the effect
this move may have on their own
troops.
This and the fact that the czechs
at Prague and elsewhere and the
Slavs in Carniola and southward have
become openly hostile to the Austrian
government may explain why the en-
emy offensive against Italy has been
delayed Berlin has heralded and ur
ged an offensive but Austro- Hungar-
ian attacks have not yet developed.
Although Constantinople and Berlin
recently announced the repulse of the
British westward across the Jordan,
General Allenby's men east Of the riv-
er have captured nearly 800 prisoners
in a successful attack against the
Turks south of Es-Salt toward which
the British are advancing. MeZren
west of the Jordan has been occupied
and Arabian troops along the Medjas
railway recently have taken more than
500 prisoners
May day apparently passed quietly
