AMSTERDAM, May 49, German
newspapers emphasize the fact that the
working classes were disagreeabiy sur
prised by the announcement that the
people must submit to seven weeks of
meagre fare owing to he failure of the

The official explanation that by the
increased issue of vegetables the actual

average person, who complains that
with an unincreased potato ration and
no substitution of meat, such as was
received last year, he does not get

The Berlin "Vorwaerts" says:
"The physical and moral power Of
the people for resistance are visably
diminished by these new privations"

LONDON, May 1S.--British troops
campaigning against the German East
Africa forces have won another sue
cess. after heavy fighting, and inflicted
severe losses on the Germans, it is

set the huts on fire. The Germans
counter attacked and the British force
fell back, fighting heavily all day long.
Before the day was over, however, the
British rallied their forces, and the

Call Minotto Usurper
Venetian Patricians Deny Kin
ship With Count Here

PARIS, May 1s.-The Figaro" prints
a letter signed "Minotto, ex-Lieuten-
ant" stating that the Minotto family
OF France and Italy. the descendants
OF the ancient patrician Venetian fam
ny of the same name, have no relation
ship, even distant, with Count James
Minotto,, who was arrested recently in
the United States for his pro- German
activities.
Inc letter states that Count James
Mlnotto is German by race and birth
and has certainly no right TO the title
of count, unless he or his family was
ennobled in Germany. The letter saws
that apparently his family has usurped
even the name of Mipotto, to which it's
claims are justified only by the most
indefinite connection.

Versailles Discussions End With

PARIS. May 1S.--The Echo de
Paris" says it learns that the question
of the unity of tactical and stragetical
aims of the Allied aviation services
was discussed at the recent meeting of
the Supreme War Council at Versailles
by the technical experts of the several
nations represented.
From this it developed, adds the
newspaper, that additional raids at
present on German cities were not
deemed advisable, as other efforts by
the air forces were more necessary at
this juncture, The view being that all
the Allied aviation efforts should be
centred upon the firing line and the
territory behind the lines.

THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
President Wilson's speech before
the Congress Monday was the longest
he has delivered before that body. He
had a lot of ground to cover.
First he stated some great outstand-
ing facts, as:
"a year ago we had sent 145,918
men overseas. Since then we have
sent 1,950,513, an average of 62,542
each month, the number in fact rising
in May, last, to 245,951, in June to
278,76O, in July to 3O7, 1872, and contin-
uing to reach similar figures in Au-
gust and September-in August 1885,.

THEY'VE CHANGED THE TUNE.

IL SAAANoLD HI SA>Als
The erst-while fire-eating Crown
Prince talks like pious and mild
hammered young man who was oppos-
ed to the war all along. He is quoted
as saying that he has not renounced
anything or signed any document
whatever, meaning that he is still
crown prince, but says that should
the German government decide to form
a republic similar to the United
States, he would be content to return
to that dear Germany as simple citi-
zen ready to do anything to assist
his country, that he should even be
happy to work as a laborer in fac
tory. Isn't he just too cute and darl-
ing! The deah boy. No doubt when
he learns what is going to be done
to him he will be in earnest about
being happy to be allowed to work
anywhere. The ex-crown prince ssys

foreign affairs. Wilhelm says he was
deceived into going to Norway just
before the outbreak of the war, that
he was kept in ignorance Of the true
state of affairs, and that he hurried
back when the Russian move became
known.
Presently we shall see sob-squad
weeping upon the necks, so to speak,
of the former kaiser and crown prince
and calling high heaven to witness that
they are the sweetest and most inno-
cent pair Of Sunday school boys that

miles Of sea, followed by adequate
equipment and supplies, and carried
safely through extraordinary dangers
of attack-dangers which were alike
strange and infinitely difficult to
guard against. In all this movement
only seven hundred and fifty EIGHT
men were lost by enemy attack-63O
of whom were upon single English
transport which was sunk near the
Orkney islands"
He touched upon the marvellous
supporting organization Of the in
dustries of the country and of all its
productive activities" which lay back
of this great movement, and hasten
ed to pay eloquent tribute to "the
mettle and quality of the men we sent
over and of the sailors who kept the
seas, and the spirit of the nation that
stood behind them"-men who went
forth to "their terrible adventure
blithely and with the quick intelli-
gence of those who know just what
it is they would accomplish" And
while the war could not have been won
without the support of those who stay
ed at home and did their duty, still
for many a long day we shall think
ourselves 'accurst we were not there
and hold our manhoods cheap while
any speaks that fought with those al
St. Mihiel or Thierry."
But if we attempt to quote strik
ing passages we shall run into length:
that time and space will not admit
for it is all admirable. The Presi
dent pays eloquent tribute also to th'
admirable spirit of the nation during
the trying period of the war, of tn
unselfish labors Of men and women
and he says that the least tribute w
}, can pay to the women for the match
less part they played is to grant ther
, equal political rights with men.
} He thinks that the problems inciden
to the return to peace will be solved b
the initiative Of business men who d
not need any leading strings and wi
. outrun any efforts made to guide then
Of chief concern is the problem pre-
1 sented in making provision for the re
turning soldiers, those of them wh
will be at loss to know what to d.
In solving this problem the Preside1
directs attention to the opportunitie
offered by arid, swamp and cutove
lands. There are 3OO,0OO,OOO acres
such lands which can be redeemed fl
cultivation, and he thinks "it is po
sible in dealing with our unused lar
to effect great rural and agricu
tural development which will affo1
the best sort of opportunity to me
who want to help themselves"
He urges help for the Belgians al

ing billions upon war profits; full

asks the Congress to study that 'pr6b-
lem, which he frankly says he now
has no solution of.
In announcing his purpose to at
tend the peace congress the President
says he knows of no business or inter-
est which should take precedence OF
the peace settlements, (which are OF
