dance given by the detachment of the
Fourth Minnesota infantry, in sta

those of the allies and reflected a
genuinely patriotic setting. Khaki

added to the kaleidoscope scene. The

PRESS CAMPAIGN TO
PREPARE TEUT0NS FOR
DRIVE AGAINST ALLIES
BY JUNIUS B. WOOD
United Press CORRESPONDENT.


With the French afield, May 16.-
German newspapers arriving at the
French front, together with inter-
cepted radios, show that the German
imperial command is conducting
press campaign for the benefit Of the
German people .efore resuming the
offensive. It is analogous to the press
campaign which preceded the March
21 assault.
In the present campaign the Ger
man people are assured that when
the offensive is resumed it will con-
tinue without stopping until the war
is ended. This would seem that the
plan of the original offensive will be
resumed, that of attempting to sep
arate the British and French armies
by such massed attacks as succeeded
at Riga. -

DETAILS PERFECTED FOR BIG PAGEANT
WILSON DOESN'T WANT
AIRCRAFT MYSTERY TO
BE Barred TO PUBLIC
lBy United Press)


Washington, May 16, President
Wilson today renewed his emphatic
protest against the senate aircraft
investigation. He told Senator
Thompson of Kansas that on account
of the appointment of Charles Hugh
es as an assistant justice of the de-
partment in the inquiry he consid-
cred the senate probe unnecessary. l.
It has been brought up in the ma
tional legislature to investigate what
has become of the hundreds of mil
lions of dollars the people dug up
for building airships to whip the
kaiser, and to- also look into other
matters of which the public is ignor-
ant. The president vehemently pro-
tested, saying it showed lack of con-
fdence in him if such a measure for
the probe was adopted. He also
stated it looked like an attempt to
take his power to run the war alone
away from him. ID ..s @'| -|
