tRSS0c1aton pre9S1
 AMSTERDAM, May 3.-Consider- able uneasiness is prevalent in of ficial circles in Germany over the latest developments in Ukrainia, which threaten to overturn the Brest Litovsk agreements and start gen. eral conflagration in south Russia against the Teutons.
 These developments were brought about by the overthrow of the Uk- rainian rada and government by the Germans recently. The capital of the new republic, Kiev, is said to be completely in the hands of Ger mans, who also hold Odessa and Se- bastopol, the latter place being taken early this week.
 The Ukrainian peasants are re. ported to be enraged over the du- plicity of the Germans which has thus been exposed, and thousands of tons of grain and other crops are said to have been burned by the farmers to prevent them from fall ing into German hands. Many of these supplies were being stored for German consumption, and were badly needed by the central powers, and their loss will seriously affect inter- nal conditions, it is. feared. A seri- ous outbreak. in the Ukraine might again stir up the German and Aus. trian workers to vigorous protests and possible extreme action in pro. test against the continuance of the war.

PARTISAN WAR
 IS OPENED BY
 (. 0. P. LEADERS
(AssOtiat< Press1


 WASHINGTON, D. C., May B. Partisan warfare again broke out in the senate today when Senator Nc Cumber, Republican of North Da- kota, in a caustic speech attempted to belittle the achievements of the administration in its war program and asserted that Americas efforts in the war up to the present time had been negligible and hardly car. ried weight enough to be felt on the battlefront.
 The senator's speech is regarded as deplorable example of exaggera- tion and several of the prominent leaders of the progressive branch of the Republicans were not in sympa- thy with it. He sought to produce the impression that the administra- tion was only playing at war and refusing to wake up to the fact that it was facing a real fight.
 He attacked the United States shipping board bitterly. accusing 1t of incompetence. This board, he de. clared, wasted six months during which nothing was accomplished and set the country far back in it's war preparations. He also took a shot at the war department over the al legged breakdown in the aircraft pro- gram. In this connection, he said that $64O. 100000 appropriated by con- gress for development of the Am erican airplane industry had been worse than sQuandered.

ENGLAND LOOKS
 FOR NEW PEACE
 OFFENSIVE NOW
Associated Pressb

LONDON, May 3.-In an interview given the Associated Press represen- tative for London, Lord Robert Ce- cil, minister of blockade, said that the failure of the German offensive on the western front is knockout blow to Germany and will probably result in big peace offensive. Con- tinuing, he said: This peace drive will be directed against Great Brit ain mainly, but it will not afford any terms which the allied nations can consider"
 He said that England would not consider for one moment any dis cussion of peace which does not in- clude the rest of the allied govern ments. Any offer of peace must be made to all allied nations at the same time, and not to the British government alone. He declared that with the present German leaders still in the saddle there was not the slightest prospect of an early peace.

 WANT BILLION
 GOOD MEASURE
SSt,ciatad Praast

WASHINGTON, D. C., May B. With only one day remaining of the Loan drive, the totals rose tonight to S2,940, $40, 400, making the official figures for today's subscriptions $1O2,. 100000. This amount represents only those subscriptions reported to the reserve banks, and is far short of the actual total. The loan workers are tomorrow to tackle the task of gathering late pledges to assure at least one billion and, if possible, two billions in oversubscriptions.
 The treasury department urges that all Liberty Loan committees make the final day the biggest one of the entire campaign. It is emphasized that no possible subscriber should be overlooked.
 MORNING FIGURES
 WASHINGTON, D. C., May B. The treasury department announced this morning that the Third Liberty Loan total according to official fed eral reserve bank figures is now $2,S3S,317,300. It is believed that these figures indicate that the actual subscription is well ahead of the 8, ,000, 100000 minimum set. The campaign has picked up considerably, and today and Saturday will prob. ably be banner days of the drive.
 The Chicago district has gone over the top with it's full quota, being the fourth federal reserve district to ac- complish this feat. The two first to go over were the Minneapolis and St. Louis districts, it being uncer- tain as yet which of these was ac. tually first. The third to go over the top was the Twelfth federal re- serve district, comprising the far western states and Alaska. It is be. lieved that every state west of the Mississippi river has oversubscribed it's quota.

The following tells of an offensive

On July Is, the Germans under the
generalship of Ludendorff, launched
on front of 120 kilometers their fifth
great offensive of 191S-the biggest
and most ambitious Move they had un.
dertaken since the drive of March 81.
They called it, and they taught their
troops to call it, their Friedensturn or
Peace Offensive. By that very name
they promised their patient people a
final blow of such force that the Allies
would be driven to accept a German
peace.
Ten days later the fight was still on.
In those ten days more than so Ger.
man divisions had been engaged and
badly mauled. More than 10000 Ger.
man soldiers had vanished as prison
ers behind the advancing Allied lines.
Between 400 and 500 German cannon
had been taken and a great mass of
German material had either been seiz-
ed by our troops or destroyed hope

Despite most bitter resistance, vic
torious Allied Armies were still adj

The proud citadel of Rheims not only
had not been taken; it stood safer than
ever. And the threat of a march on
Paris was indefinitely postponed.
Above all, the initiative had passed

the German military critics had been
hoasting that the enfeebled Allies could
never resume the initiative. And. .
they explained. whoever says initia-

high hopes. the Crown Prince found
some 40 divisions of his army caught
