SWEDISH PEOPLE
FIGHTING DEATH
BY STARVATION
Must Get Bread, Price Is Sec
ondary, Finance Minister
Says Coal Shortage Is
Serious.
(By Associated Press)

STOCKHOLM, May 4.-The Swed
ish government is striving to the ut.
most to obtain food for the Swedish
people who literally are fighting
against starvation F. w. Thorsen
minister of finance, declared in a
speech Friday at Nystad. He outlined
the agreement with the ent ante powers
for the supply of foodstuffs and other
vital necessities against Swedish ton
mage, and complained that certain in.
terested parties in Sweden were op
posing the agreement, thus increas-
ing the difficulties of the government.
M. Thorsen said that if the agree.
ment was overthrown, the social ma
chinery which was fed by the treasury
department could not bear the new
burdens which would be thrown upon
its shoulders. He continued:
"The main thing is to get bread, the
price is secondary consideration"
Coal Shortage Serious
The finance minister mentioned the
shortage of coal as one of the most
burdensome difficulties and said that
the cost of coal was oppressive. Swed,
en- had to pay last year 375.000,000
kroner for half the quantity which
previously cost 100,000,000 kroner.

Will ESTABLISH
NORTH SEA AREA
AS Mine FIELD
Territory Prohibited as Dan
gerous To Be Used for Foil
ing Submarines.
(By Associated Press

LONDON, May According to
Archibald hurd, in the Daily Tele-
graph, the area in the North Sea, re-
Gently announced by the British gov
ernment as prohibited as dangerous
to shipping after May Is, will be the
greatest mine field ever laid for the
special purpose of foiling submarines
II will embrace 121, ,72S square miles,
the base forming a line between Nor
way and Scotland and the peak ex-
tending northward into the Arcatic
Circle.
Hurd. who is an authority on naval
subjects, says that there has been a
vast improvement in British mines
since Amdiral Jellicoe became first
sea lord. He points out that the Gre
ating of this banner across the north
ern exit of the North sea was an
enormous task involving twelve or
more months and estimates that tens
of thousands of mines were required
to cover the area. He suggests that
when Admiral Jellicoe made his IA
nous phophesy that the submarine
menace would be met by August, that
he had this mine field in mind.

Work of Quaker Units in
France IS Commended

Praise for the manner i'll which the
Quaker reconstruction units carried
out the evacuation of Somme and Ais
ne, during the recent German offensive
has been given by Edward Eyre Hunt,
director of the Red Cross Emergency
Relief. Several Richmond men are
members of the units mentioned.
"Some organizations did better than
/ ever dreamed they could" Hunt said.
"A few fell down. There was just one
group which stood up to every test and
could always be counted on, and that
was the Quakers. They had a certain
sobriety of discipline. a capacity for
team work. which no other organiza-
tion showed. They didn't merely rise

ary enthusiasm. They worked stead.

Interest in Primary Becomes
Actiue as Campaign Nears Close

Interest in the primary election.
dormant until late this week, has be-
come active as the campaign draws
to an end. Chief interest centers in
number OF heated races among Re-
publican candidates for nomination to
county offices. There are no contests
on the Democratic county ticket,
which also is incomplete.
Republican leaders believe that
many Democrats will call for Repub-
lican tickets next Tuesday to defeat
certain candidates. Both parties are
speculating as to the number of vot-
ers who will go to the polls. Efforts
are being made by both parties to get
out a large vote, but 1t is expected
that the country vote will be light.
On the Republican ticket, consid-
cradle interest was manifested this
week in an unprincipled attack on
Frank Strayer. who is seeking the
nomination for prosecutor. His oppo-
nent resorted to some of the lowest
tactics that ever have been employed
against an opponent in Wayne county,
the result being that they became a
boomerang which reacted with a
heavy thud Strayer's nomination by
large majority is assured He has

VERDUN CHILD'S
PLAY COMPARED
TO KENNEL HILL
Fighting in Flanders More
Bloody Than That at Ver-
dun, Veterans Say.
(By Associated Press.)

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Friday, May 3-Veterans
of the defense of Verdun predominant
ed among the French soldiers who so
gallantly defended KENNEL hill
against the Germans. Many of them
had fought at Fleury and they knew
what hard fighting was, but declare
that Verdun was child's play COM
pared to the conflict in Flanders re-
Gently.
The bombardment at Verdun had
set high water mark for concentra-
tion Of guns of all calibers. but, say
those who went through it, 1t was
nothing compared to what h e
French troops experienced during the
German drive against KENNEL.
! The French troops took up posi-
tions about KENNEL on April %. re-
lieving the battle weary British.
Throughout April % and "a before the
attack, the Germans maintained a
tremendous bombardment and threw
hundreds of thousands of gas shells
mixed with ordinary explosive shells.
10 Shells Second.
On the morning of the attack on
KENNEL, the German gunners placed
ten big shells per second on the crest
of the hill and during that day the
French put on their gas masks fifty
different times, for as fast as the
wind cleared the gas away another
deluge of the poisonous vapor poured
over the hill.
Part of the time the Poilus had to
sleep in their gas masks. Despite the
great quantities of gas thrown the
French had only twelve casualties
from it, according to the latest re-
ports, which speaks eloquently of the
efficacy of the French gas protectors.
A large part of the fighting, was
with machine guns of which the Ger
mans lawyers had great numbers and
at times the German enfilading fire
was terrific. The French artillery and
machine guns, however, in their turn,
reaped great harvest from the
enemy.
Hun Losses, 40 Per Cent.
At times, the French 75's got into
heavy concentrations of infantry and
literally tore them to pieces. The Ger
man losses in many instances are
placed as high as forty per cent.
The work of French runners with
messages was noteworthy. They re-
fused to rest and kept at their task.
Nearly all the stretcher bearers were
killed. One stretcher bearer worked
six days and nights without rest.
German airplanes were out in force.
They flew at an altitude of 100 metres
and used machine guns continuously
against the infantry.

GERMANS WASTE
NUMBERS OF men
AND CAIN LITTLE
Results of Fighting in Last
Week Favorable to Allies,
Expert Claims.
(By Associated Press.)

10Y ASSOSidtCo l ACSSI
LONDON, May A representative
Of Gen. Radcliffe, director Of military
operations at the war Office, today
summed up the military situation on
the western front as follows:
"In the north, while the Germans
failed in their objective, they mad
their right flank secure by the capture
of KENNEL, but we must regard the
operation from the viewpoint of econ.
omy of men, and they used up five di-
visions from the general reserve. be
sides seven or eight divisions previ-
ously employed
Result Of Week Good.
"The results of the week on the
whole were satisfactory, because the
enemy used up larger number OF
fresh divisions than the allies without
strategic result. In all he used on the
north front thirty-fve divisions al
ready there.
1.-The effect of the operations in the
north will be to reduce materially the
number of fresh divisions the Ger,
mans have available.
Facts Favor Entente.
CAS- to the future, the Germans have
large numbers of divisions recovering
which can be used shortly. 1t is diff
cult to make an exact comparison OF
the staying powers of the two armies.
but the facts shown are in our favor
If the enemy continues his offensive
in the north he must impair his chanc.
es of success in the south.
"The main aim is to separate the
Anglo-French armies in the south. and
If the enemy continues the campaign
in the north without important re-
suits he is using up his forces to no
purpose"

LOAN GOES over
BY $6,888,9OO
(By Associated PreSsl

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The third

day. Later figures are expected to
raise the total far above three billion
NEW YORK, May 4.-With sub.
scriptions still pouring in New York
went "over the top" in the liberty
loan campaign at noon today. The
minimum quota of $900,000,000 for
this district had then been exceeded,
and millions are still to be tabulated,
the liberty loan committee announced.
Saturday was the final day for the
purchase of Third Liberty Loan bonds
All Richmond banks will be open Sat
urday night during the regular hours
and will receive applications for
bonds. There will be no extension Of
time and those persons who fail to get
on the county's list by Saturday night,
will be numbered among the delir-
quents.
The Wayne county committee Satur-
day received word from the feredal
reserve bank at Chicago, asking that
the county's aggregate sales be ascer-
tanned as early as possible and the fed
eral bank notified thereof. This, how
ever. cannot be done before Monday.
Richmond and Wayne county have
a per centage of 134 up to Saturday
morning, and while it is not probable
that the expected $50 per cent of the
quota will be obtained, it is hoped that
it will reach at least 140. Compared
with all other counties in the state of
Indiana that had quotas from $1,000
600 upward, Wayne county takes high
rank thus far, there being only six or
eight in this particular class that have
a more advanced position.
