This In the story OF Private Frank

fg-year.old marine from Chicago who
emerged from Bellehu woods with
w boches as his personal prisoners.

as he adjusted his helmet and gas

The sleep vanished FIRM his widening

SWEDISH PEOPLE
FIGHT FOR FOOD
SAYS THORSEN
Bread and Coal are Almost
Impossible to
Obtain.

Stockholm, May 4.-The Swedish
government is striving to the utmoSt
to obtain food for the Swedish peo-
pie who literally are fighting against
starvation" F. w. Thorsen, minis.
ter of finance. declared in a speech
Friday at Nystad. He outlined the
agreement with the entente powers
for the supply of foodstuffs and other
vital necessities against Swedish ton
mage, and complained that certain
interested parties in Sweden In op-
posing the agreement increased the
difficulties Of the government.
"The main thing is to get bread,
the price is secondary consideration"
he declared.
The finance minister mentioned
the shortage of coal as one of the
most burdensome difficulties and said
that the cost Of coal was oppressive.
Sweden had to pay last year 375,-
100000 kroner for half the quantity
which previously cost 1O0,0C0,000
kroner.
Moreover" he added, foreign
countries insist on loans as a condi-
ton for the expectation Of their
goods. For coal, Germany exacts a
loan Of six million kroner monthly
from Sweden. The price Of the mark
has sunk and accordingly Germany
wants to help out by loans. In 9TH
er words a loan from Sweden is ex-
acted for payments on goods for Swe-
| den"

Today's War
Summary

Germany's military leaders still
hesitate to renew in force the offensive
to which they are committed and the
lull in Flanders and Picardy is still
by heavy infantry fighting.
The past week has been distinctly
unfortunate one for the enemy. After
capturing Mont KENNEL and herald
ing 1t as only the first step of vic
torious blow in Flanders, the Germans
have not been able to advance either
southwest of Ypres or east of Amiens.
Checked by the heroic defense Of the
French and British in the north, they
were also unable to gain south of the
Somme.
In Picardy during the past few
days the British and French. espec-
tally General Petain's men. have made
important local gains and the Ger
mans have not reacted in force, an
unusual procedure. The enemy has
made no attempt to force the French
new positions around Hangard. The
British and French in the Villers-
Bretonneux region also have not been
molested except by the German ar
ttllery which continues most violent
bombardment south Of the Somme
and north and south of the Avre.
Intense enemy artillery fire on the
southern flank in Flanders has not yet
been followed by infantry fighting.
heavily the British north of Albert.
Perhaps the enemy may intend a blow
on the Arras salient as these bonn
bardments have been against the
northern and southern lines of the
salient Dispatches from the British
front indicate the Germans are maxi
ing ready for further attacks. and it
is believed they have not yet had time
to complete all arrangements.
Anglo-French airmen continue to
harass the German communication
lines In northern France and Belgium
and have dropped thousands Of bombs
other important targets. Thirty-eight
German machines. of which % were
destroyed. have been accounted for by
the British and French. On the
American front northwest Of Toul.
Aviator Chapman has met death in a
combat in which he destroyed his ad-
versary, both machines falling in
German territory.
Great Russia rapidly is being cut of
from access to its former European
allies. Finland Is almost completely
under control Of the Finnish govern
ment forces and its German allies.
while in the south all but the eastern
coast of the Black sea is in the hands
Of the central empires. The Turks
J have reached Batoum in the Caucasus
| and in the north. Berlin claims, the
Germans have occupied Taganrog. at
the mouth of the Don river. and in the
Don Cossack territory, and also 4
part OF the great Donetz coal basin.
Berlin significantly refers to. the
Finnish Red Guards as the enemy
! in announcing the defeat and capture
Of 10000 of them. Reports that a
German prince will head monarchy
in Finland again are being circulated.
These rumors come from Finnish
cities under German control.
