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 raid on the German lines south
of Hailoville, on a 60O-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 German sal
TENT. The artillery completely leveled
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
action.

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 byssec-
tional jealousies over food distribu-
tion. These crises appear to have
reached elimination in the govern
ment's decision to prorogue Parlia-
ment during the present phase of the
war 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 means.
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
er 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."

BAKER ANSWERS
CRITICS IN
SENATE
DOESN'T DISCLOSE NUMBERS BUT
MORE TROOPS ARE ABROAD
THAN WAS PLANNED.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The cross
examination of Secretary Baker on his
recent statement was begun at public
hearing before the senate military af
fairs committee today in regard to the
number OF troops to be sent abroad
this year
Secretary Baker said on January LIST
more troops had been sent abroad than
had been planned Baker and Senator
Weeks agreed that it would be impro-
per to discuss the number now in
France.
Secretary Baker he hadn't determin-
ed whether the troops will be kept in
southern camps next summer. If the
weather is as extreme as this winter
has been some will have to be moved,
he said.
The secretary declared American
tonnage losses had been extremely
light
The service the navy has rendered
in the protection Of the army has been
uneXampled" In his former statement
million more men probably could be
sent to France this year, Secretary
Baker explained that he did not de-
pend wholly on American shipping in
his calculations.
Senator Hitchcock said on Novem-
Der Both the shipping board advised
| him that the total gross available
! American tonnage was $4,000, tons, in
/ Guiding the tankers and former Ger
man and Austrian ships.
| Secretary said he could not esti-
mate how many troops that tonnage
would supply.
Senator Beckham protested
against efforts to drag from the sec
rotary indirectly by probing questions"
! information that would be of value to
the enemy Senator Hitchcock said
he didn't want to be misunderstood but
only desired to find the basis of Ba-
kers assurance to the country that a
million men could be transported to
France this year.
Secretary Baker proposed to be per
mitted to prepare statements showing
! the exact facts and details as prepared
| by experts and present them to the
committee and return for cross eXami-
nation later
Senator Weeks asked if it were true
| that the war department had seven
hundred and ninety-One thousand tons
of shipping available for Transporting
troops February list
Secretary Baker said he thought that
an underestimate. The shipping
board and war department are in con
slant contact he said. exclusively
studying the shipping situation about
hundred and thirty thousand tons adj
ditional have pecently been secured.
A hitch developed as to whether it
would be proper for Baker to answer
certain questions concerning the NOV
ing Of troops.
Secretary Baker gave the opinion
that new legislation would be describ
able to give the President general
powers to transfer aud coordinate func
tons of the various departments as
conditions may arise.
The question of ships to transport
troops to France will be presented u
the committee in secret session tomor-
row

and the secretary are taking steps
which they hope will satisfy those who
