plan of campaign in that theatre ot the war
 Nowhere have the Italian forces lines been reached by attacking Aus trians.
 In Flanders and Picardy only heavy artillery fire has marked the fighting of the last day.
 A daring raid on the Austrian naval base at Pola has been made by Ital- ian units and an Austrian battleship of the 10000 ton type has been de- stroyed. The Italian naval forces were aided in the operations by the CO., operation of an aerial squadron.
 1t has been announced from Wash ington that an official order has been issued by the soviet government of Russia calling for the formation of an army that will fight for the se- curity of the Russian republic which has been menaced by the aggression of the Germans.
 Arthur J. Balfour, British secretary for foreign affairs, discussing in the house of commons the now famous letter written by Emperor Charles to Prince Sixtus said that Great Britain is prepared 10 consider proposals of peace from the central powers, pro- vided they are put forward by an ac- credited person in a straightforward name. He declaed that no offers thus far made by Germany and Aus tria had been in the interest of a far and honorable peace.

ARMY OF THREE MILLION MEN TO BE RAISED
The Matter Of Shipping is the Only Obstacle in the Prediction Of the French Premier Being Carried Out by the First of the Year.


Washington, May 16-With more thah 5OooOO men in the army in France officials are more than ever hopefnl that powerful American forces Will he cooperating with the allies there before the end of the year. Un- happy experience with over sanenine estimates of what can be accom- plshed make them slow to put theil hopes into definite predictions. how ever and it was not possible tonigh to obtain specific confirmation of tho report from Paris that 150O,00O fight ing troops before January l had beer promised. The statement in Premier Clemenceau's newspaper that such q promise had been made was not be- lieyed by army officers general tr mean that the American government should definitely pledge itself 10 de- liver a specific number of men within a time limit. Many factors are in- volved in making such a calculation months in advance.
 Secretary Baker would make no comment on the statement. Many weeks ago he told the senate military committee, however. that the gov ernment then had hopes of getting 100000 to the front during the year Since then his estimate that 500,o00 would reach France early in the year has been fulfilled and since then also the German drive has changed the whole course of events which has all ready shown results.
 The French articles indicate that under the program a total of two million American troops would reach France during the year, 1,500,0 900 of which would be fighting units. Whether that result can be obtained depends on the shipping situation. The men and the essential equipment for them can be ready.
 Under the authority sought by President Wilson to organize as large an army as it is found possible to train and transport. is known tihe officials expect as many as three mil lion men during the next twelve months. Many believe that even a larger force can be handled as it now appears quite probable that total od four million during the year will be nearer the mark Secretary Baker expressed his view as 10 what the new practice of brigading the Ameri- can units with French and British divisions and the appointment of Gen. eral Foch as supreme commander might bring about in the way of pro- ducing mixed army corps or divisions. It is entirely possible, he said, that Amerilan divisions. or higher com mands. will have command of French or British troops, or both. under the movements ordered by General Foch. Where a mixed division or corps are constituted and American troops pre- dominate Mir. Baker regarded it as probable that an American will com mand if one of adequate rank and ex- perience is available.

LETTERS SHOW l. W. WIS
 LAID PLANS FOR STRIKES
MOST OF THE PLANS TO HAMPER WAR ACTIVITIES WAS BE TWEEN PRAsHNER AND
 HAYWOOD.

Chicago, May 16-From early in January to late in the summer of 1917 Albert Prashner, an organizer for the Industrial Workers of the World. at a salary of SIS week, laid plans for strikes in various industries from Rome, New York, to Detroit, Mich. according to letters read by the pros cution today in the trial of 112 mem bers of the organization for violation of the espionage act. Most of the correspondence which the government charges formed a part of a nation wide conspiracy to hamper Americas war plans was between Prashner and William D. Haywood, general secre- tary treasurer.
 As in previous correspondence in troduced by the prosecution Prashner was shown to be working as an or ganizer under the personal supervision of Haywood
 Prashner kept Haywood advised of progress being made in the anthra- cite coal regions of Pennsylvania, in New York state, he wrote that the situation was so well organized at some points. including Rome, that paid workers would not be needed and later wrote from Michigan, that strikes in automobile and other fac tories in Detroit, Flint and Grand Rapids, could be easily agitated.
 Big supplies of strike and anti-war stickers. printed in three languages, were ordered for distribution in dis tricts where laborers predominated.
 Pete Daley, an organizer arrested at Minneapolis, who was found in state of coma, under one of the de- fendant benches. today was examined by government physicians and pro- nounced physically able to stand trial Defense counsel had said Daley was mentally unbalanced and did not real ize he was on trial.

 The afternoon session Nas devoted for the most part. to d sort of patri- otic rally. Open discussion ot home mission work quickly turned into eulogies of the mission boards repre- sentatives in the army cam~ and the patriotic leryor of the conyen- ton was famed by every subsequent speaker, many of whom were parent, Of boys now in service of the nation. The climax was reached when the squad of soldiers was marched onto the platform in the tabenacle where the convention is being held and the great audience rose To sing America
 And when the night service began, it was but a confirmation of the same demonstration which the president of The convention, Dr. James B Gam brell, characterized as all inspira- tional mass meeting.
 Earlier in the days session a res olution was adopted by the conven- ton endorsing President Wilson s proclamation for a day of prayer and humiliation, and directing that off cial notification of the resolution di- recting the observance of the proc lamation to be given to every Baptist preacher in the Jurisdiction of the convention. The resolution was intro duced by Dr. Jeff D. Ray of Fort Worth, Texas.
 The convention voted to aid the negro Baptists of the south in cree ton of a theological seminary, and recommended a contribution of S50.- GOO for that purpose committee was appointed to aid the negroes in the selection of a proper location foi the seminary. Dr E C Morris o. Arkansas, president of the Natioua Baptist convention, which is the ne gro body in the deuumina ion core spending to the Southern Baptist con vention addressed the convention after a chorus of too negroes had swayed the delegates with he pe- tuliar melody of old fashioned church hymns Dr Morris told of the educa tional needs among the negroes ant pleaded for financial aid from Jnt convention
 Dr L. R. Scarborough addressed the convention on the subject O Evangelism. detailing evangelca work which had been carried on b, the denomination last year. He wa followed by Dr $. ]. Porter of Sar Antonio. Texas. who touched tht match to the spirit of patriotism b! telling of the work of Baptists amonl the boys in the several army camp adjacent to San Antonio.
 It was after his speech that th convention discarded further attempt to adhere to the set program and tn demonstration of patriotism over whelmed consideration of any oth ? matters
