AMERICANS GIVEN HIGH PRAISE
U. S. Troops Drive to German Third
Line In Dash In Lorraine
Sector

With the American Army in France,
May 6.-American troops in the Lor-
raine sector Friday morning carried
out a raid on the German lines south
Of Halloville. on a 6O0-yard front.
After an intense, but brief artillery
preparation, the infantry, accompan-
led by pioneers, went over the top
and penetrated the German positions
to the third line. They found not a
single Garman.
The attack was on a German sal
lent. The artillery completely leveIed
the German positions and the pio-
neers finished the job by blowing up
all the enemy works, thus eliminating
the salient.
A German raid, which it was ex-
pected, would be carried out on the
sector south of Verdun, failed to ma
terialize.
The spirit of the Americans is 60
Ing higher every day and the officers
give high praise to the men when In

RACE TANeLEs INTENSITY, AND
DOZEN CRISES cENTERED ON
SHORTAGE OF FOOD.
CROWN SHUNS DEBATES
WELDING OF PREMIER TO GER.
MAN DEMANDS DECLARED
STEP TOWARD END.

Western Newspaper Union, News Service.
London, May 6.-"There are at least
a dozen different crises in Austria to-
day." wrote one of the best-informed
English correspondents. "All these
crises appear to Concentrate on the
problem of food. Even the racial ami
mosities of the composite empire,
which have always been the weak tim
bers of its structure, have been in
famed into unusual bitterness by sec
tional iealousies over food distribu-
ton. These crises appear to have
reached a elimination in the govern
ment's decision to prorogue Parlia-
ment during the present phase of the
wal for the reason that 1t could not
help, but only hinder, in the solving
of economic problems on which every
thing depends, in the words of a semi
official explanation.
Before this announcement was
made Premier Won Seydler met party
leaders, impressed upon them the
necessities of the situation, offered
vague promises of reforms for the dis
contented races demands and issued
warning that any agitation would be
dealt with by all lawful mean
Parliamentary government, or
rather parliamentary debates, are to
be suppressed indefinitely and an au-
tocratic government will try to hold
the helm.
What straits Austria has reached
were partly revealed by the premier's
speech and also by the German Off
cial statement that all food supplies
from Ukraine this month will be Civ
en- to Austria on account Of her great
or need.
Food Crises overshadawed.
"The Hague correspondent Of the
Times, discussing the German food
shortage yesterday, remarked:
Even the ordinary German public
realizes that something worse than
food scarcity threatens Austria"
The Vossische Zeitung of Berlin
says "The announcement by Pre-
mier Won Seydler of Austria Of the
appointment of district food admins
traitors in Bohemia is the fulfillment
of one of the most insistent demands
of the German population of that re-
gion."

PROSPECTS FOR VICTORY IN .Fu-
TuRE CAMPAIGNS EXCELLENT,
SAYS SECRETARY McADoo.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, May 6.-Analysis OF
Liberty Loan reports showed that
probably 100000 persons bought
bonds in the campaign, which closed
! Saturday midnight - 1000, 900 more
than in the second loan, and 12.500,-
900 more than in the first.
Latest t%abulations showed $685..
628, $50, reported subscriptions, but the
treasury now believes the actual total,
which mag run to $4,000, 10000, Will
not be definitely known until May 13.
Whatever the money total" said a
treasury statement, 1.-The loan just
closed probably Is the most successful
ever floated by any nation. The mar
velous distribution of the Third Lib
erty loan indicates that n out OF
every six persons in the United States
may have participated in this loan.'
Banks resources, it wal pointed out.
have been drawn on comparatively lit
tie, and the prospects for future loans
are brighter as a consequence. An
added reason for jubilation is the In
dication that the government bond
buying habit is becoming stronger
among people of small means.
The table OF subscriptions by dis
tricts is as follows:
New York, 100000 Chicago, 2.4sS,-
900; Cleveland, 1850 Z Philadel-
phia, 1,2O0, 900; Boston, 1900. 900; San

Minneapolis, 100000; Kansas City,
600, 900; Richmond, 100000; st. Louis,
see, 342; Dallas, $4,000.
Secretary McAdoo gave out this
statement:
1.-THE people of the United States
may well felictate themselves upon
the triumphant success of the Third
Liberty loan. 1t is a most heartening
manifestation of their patriotism and
of their inflexible determination to
support Dur gallant army and navy
until a victorious decision for America
is achieved.
81 should like to thank the thou
sands of men and women throughout
the country, every class of our citizen.
ship, for their effective assistance
and cooperation in this great victory
behind the lines. without which a VIC.
tory on the front cannot be achieved.
Il earnestly hope that everyone who
has bought Liberty bonds will try to
keep them for the period of the war
at least. The slogan now should be
Keep your Liberty bonds No one
does his share fully If he merely buys
a bond and then sells it Immediately
below par OIL the market.
"If each and every purchaser keeps
his Liberty bonds he helps to protect
the credit of the government by main
tanning the market for the bonds at
par, which is a very helpful thing In
war time"
