Amsterdam. - Emperor Charles OF

A statement published in Vienna in.
dicates that the closure of Parliament
is due to the seriousness of the food

declared that the serious economic
and food conditions made il impera-

therefore demanded that the proposed
sittings of Parliament be postponed.
adding that unless the party leaders
took this step the government would
prevent the sessions forcibly. (Appar.

leaders of the German party favored
postponement, but DIR. Victor Adler,

simo of the allied armies. is taking
nothing for granted as to the ability
Of the o-British-American line to
hold. The crumpling up of the British
fifth army, which at the outset of the
German offensive guarded the gate
way to the plains of Picardy, carried
its lesson home.
While the people of two continents
have been specializing anxiously as 20
the whereabout of Foch and the inter
allied army Of maneuver, it is learned
authoritatively that Foch has not been
idle
Twenty-seven lines OF trenches, it
was disclosed, have been constructed
recently between the battle front in
Flanders and the city of Paris
Foch, it was stated, determined, de
spite the Impotence of onlookers, to
attempt nothing in the way of a coun-
Ter offensive until assured beyond
doubt that there existed between the
enemy and Paris an impenetrable line
OF defenses, every attack against
which would take from the Prussians
a frightful toll in blood
Within the past few days, it is indi-
Gated in high quarters, the character
Of resistance being offered the enemy
around Ypres and other sections of
the line gives reason to believe that
the Germans are bAyinDing to blunt
their swords on Foch's defenses.
Meanwhile, American experts, con-
fident that the crisis In the fighting
has been reached, express the belief
that the fighting of the next few days
will probably determine the fate OF
Foch as supreme commander and 9TH
er high commanders on the western
'front.'.

TO OBSERVE MOTHERS DAY
Soldiers in France Expected to Write
Special Letters Home to Their
Mothers May ~.

Paris.-"Mothers' Day"-a day on
which every soldier of the American
expeditionary forces, young and old,
high and low, is expected to write
home to mother-has been fixed for
May II. The idea originated with
The Stars and Stripes, the official
newspaper of the American forces in
Europe and was approved by head
quarters, which is doing everything
possible to help it along.
The postoffice is rising to the oc-
casion, and the Young Mems Chris
tan Association has promised that on
that date it's huts will be well stocked
with writing papers. The censoIs
have decided to work overtime SO that
the letters will be speeded to the
United States without delay.
Mothers may expect their letters o.
begin arriving early in June. Soldiers
in the front line trenches will be given
every opportunity to scribble few
lines to their mothers, which will be
hurried to the rear and rushed along
to their destination. All other busi-
ness will be put aside except that of
the Germans. On that day the
mothers will be uppermost in the
minds of the soldiers. The letters will
be marked mothers letter" on the
and will be given prefer
ence over all other mail matter.

ASKS U. S. ARMY OF 5000, 900

Washington. - Five million men
must be sent to the battle front by the
United States within year, Senator
McCumber OF North Dakota, declared
in an address to the senate, which re-
viewed Americas work during it's first
year In the war.
The result of Americas efforts have
been almost negligible up to the pres
ent, he asserted. Six months, he said,
have been wasted by the Shipping board
and 100000 900 for air craft has been
worse than squarndered.
IF we fail to put less than 5000, 900
men on the fighting front before the
end of another year." he continued,
I'VE will again have grossly failed to
measure up to our moral duty. We
will have charged to our discredit an
other year Of colossal blunders."

WEST FRONT OF FRANCE.
ESQ 600 MEN LOST BY ALLIES

: Losses Figured at 100000.

Washington.-Great Britain, with
q quarter million casualties to date
in the western offensive, cried out her
need of reserves while Germany pre-.
pared to hammer anew on the west
line and in Italy.
In an announcement from the Brit
ish official war mission revelation of
her tragic losses was made. At the
same time it was indicated the Teu-
tons had lost perhaps double that num-
Der OF men.
For England the statement was a
throbbing appeal to relieve the hard
pressed though still determined men,
many of whom have been through the
hell of Flanders without sufficient rest
ing spells.
Vowing that Germany will reach the
channel port only "over the bodies of
the British army" the statement, how
ever showed very frankly that the
British reserve question is serious.
The British armies, it was said, will
undoubtedly be in a serious position
unless great reserves are at hand to
meet the renewed Teuton smash.
To America the statement meant
that further cutting of nOn-essent1al
shipping must be accomplished, and
that the nation must bend every ounce
of it's strength right now to getting its
men across. theoretically the state
me9t was another hint to the ship
builders to hasten their tasks.
The statement was particularly sig
nificant when coupled with the days
news from abroad-that the German
is hitting hard at Flanders and before
Amiens, preparatory to hurting more
men against the allies while at the
same time an offensive, apparently
Austrian, is developing in Italy.
Italy has given over her military
fate to the allied commander in Chief
Foch, the Italian embassy announced,
making him literally supreme COM
mander Of the allies. That Italy Will
prove a desperate battle-ground is the
likelihood, and the developments there
may relieve somewhat the big smash
now shaping on the west
The story of the British part in the
offensive will go down doubtless as
one Of the gamest fights by numer-
ically inferior force in all the annals
of war.

GERMANS FAIL IN
MAIN OBJECTIVE
NO IMPORTANT GAINS MADE BY
HUNS AFTER OVER A MONTH
OF SEVERE. FIGHTING.
USE MANY FRESH DIVISIONS

London.-A representative of Gen.
Radcliffe, director OF military opera
tons at the war office. sums up the
as follows:
In the north. while the Germans
failed in their main objective. they
made their right flank secure by the
capture of KENNEL. but we must re-
gard the operation from the viewpoint
of economy of men. and they used up
five divisions from the general reserve
besides seven or eight divisions pre-
viously employed.
1.-The results of the past week on
the whole were satisfactory, because
the enemy used up a larger number of
fresh divisions than the allies. with
out strategic result. In all. he used
on the north front 35 fresh divisions,
besides the nine divisions already
there.
1.-THE effect of the operations In the
north will be to reduce materially the
number of fresh divisions the Germans
have available.
"As to the future, the Germans have
large numbers of divisions recovering
which can be used shortly. 1t is diff
ficult 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 chances of success in the south.
"The main aim is to separate the
armies in the south. and
if the enemy continues the campaign
in the north without important results
he is using up his forces to no pur
