TEUTON RESERVE FORCES ARE NOW HALF EXHAUSTED
Enemy Losses Estimated at Not Under 350,OOO While Youths Under IS Only Re main to Replace Them.
oRy Review Leased wlrel


 FRENCH ARMY HEADQUARTERS May tVia Ottawa).-Under the Ger man blows. the allied armies seem to be welded together as never before. There now is no point of junction at which tEe Germans can thrust The process cf welding together the two armies is complete, but it will not stop there. Franco-British divisions will be moved out on a solidly knitted front at the wish of the allied high command as freely as German divis- ions.
 Against the enemy's territorial gains must be set the fact that he had to throw 40 divisions into battle in five weeks. A considerable number of these have been twice engaged and some, three times. Aiding these re-appear- ances together there is a total of 1S6 engagements of divisions, equivalent to a mass of two and one-half million men when the enemy has already put into battle As a German division is never withdrawn until it has sustained severe losses, on the average of 250O, it is reasonable to reckon the enemy's losses since the beginning of the bat tie at not less than 350,000.
 The Germans began the offensive with a reserve of 650.000 in depots in France and at home. Behind these, there is cnly the 1919-20 class. consist ing of youths, half of whom are under Is. The enemy's genuine fighting re- serve is thus half exhausted before he has covered anything like half the dis tance to his goal. His reckless em- ployment of divisions has left him with a total Of 6e out of 2O6 in France which have not yet been engaged. Of these F are landsturm divisions, which can not be used for the purpose of an of fensive. The Germans thus can have little hope that the remaining 50 df- visions can accomplish what. tSe rrss 140 failed to achi9ve.
 Already the German staff is most anxiously realizing that their reserves of fresh troops are not greater than those under General Foch.

HUNS SUFFER HEAVILY

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. May 2 (By the Associated Press ).-The unit of German shock troops which attacked the American position at Seicheprey, April 20. is known to have suffered more severely than it was at first believed
 Information has been received from a German prisoner who was brought in by one of the American patrols. He was a Red Cross man who assisted in the removal of the wounded and the burial of the dead after the engage ment and told the America nintelli' gence officers that the German force was cut to pieces, about four-fifths of its 1900 effectives being killed or wounded.
 In view of the fact that the prisoner gave other information of definite character. the intelligence officers seemed to believe his statements re. lative to the German casualties.
 Aside from subnormal artillery ac- tivity the American sector has been extremely quiet during the last 36 hours. The eGrmans however, are do ing much work behind their lines and it is expected that fighting will be re- stunned at any time.

 CANDIDACY FOR GOVERNORSIHLP UPON

MAY DRAFT MANY MORE INTO ARMY

WASHINGTON, May 2-Blanket authority for the president to increase the army to whatever size may be necessary to win the war was proposed to the house military committee in executive session today by Secretary Baker, Major General March. acting chief Of staff and Provost Marshal Gen eral Crow6ar. An administration meas ure amending the selective draft act to provide for this grant of power will be prepared immediately and prompt action on it is asked.
 Secretary Baker told the committee it would be unwise to set any limit on the number of men who could be called to the colors and that the granting of complete discretionary authority to the president to increase he size of the army as rapidly as transportation and equipment facilities may warrant would lave a great psychological ef- feet on the enemy. by showing how thoroughly the nation is throwing all it's resources into the conflict.
 Wants 3,ooo,o0c Men
 The army appropriation bill this year, AIr. aBker said. should provide for approximately 3.000, ,000 men, in cluding the nearly two million now under arms. but this should not be ac- cepted as any fixed limit to the num- Der of men to be called within the year. Supplemental appropriations, he said. will be submitted as the army is increased.
 Secretary Baker also outlined to the st... l.. opposes house amendment to the sen ate resolution to change the basis of draft quota from state population to the numrer of men in class one. under which the states would be given credit for men who volunteered for service in the army and navy. He said such credits would be fair if the basis was to be state populations, but that they would not be fair with the basis he number of men in class one, because then states would have to furnish no draft mel. while others would have to furnish a very high percentage.
 Wilson Changes Mind
 When the resolution to change the draft quota basis was before the house, President Wilson wrote Chairman Dent of the military committee, sup porting the volunteer credits plan. but has was represented today as haveing changed his mind. in view of the in equality that would result. It is under stood that he will write Chairman Dent asking tho house to recede from it's in- sistence on its amendments.

(By Review Leased Wire)
 America is stripping for the decisive battle on the battle front of Europe. In an executive session of the military committee of the lower house of con- eress, Secretary of War Baker. Major General March, chief of staff. and Provost Marshal General Crowder have asked congress to give the pres ident blanket authority to increase the United States army to whatever size may be necessary to win the war.
 This country now has nearly 2,000,- coo men under arms and the army appropriation bill for this year would provide for an increase of this num- Der to 5000 ,O00
 luIl In Big Battle
 While America's plans for throwing her every resource into the battle against Prussianism are maturing. the lull which has broOded over the west ern lines continues.
 Expected German attacks on the Ypres and Amiens fronts have not been launched Here and there the opposing artilleries have broken forth into wild bombardments. such as usu- ally are prelldes to massed attacks on the allied lines, but they have dled out after few hours Here and there local operations have been car ried out for the purpose of straight ening lines ana raiding the enemy's positions. but they have not developed into anything unusual.
 The Germans must attack soon or acknowledge their defeat in their am bilious attempt utterly to crush the allied armies.
 The present phase oi the battle Is not unlike that before Verdun. two years ago. after the first German rush had been stopped and even attempts to carry local obpectives had met with defeat
 Rumanianr Aid latins
 Germany has lost heavily, but the emperor still has reserves to throw into the fighting. The defeat Monday on the Meteren-Voormezeele line southwest Of Ypres has taught the Germans that the allies are prepared 10 stand their ground and there seems little inclination at the present uo- ment to renew a conflict which threat CTS to be disastrous.

Pointing to the decision of the United States supreme court in the case of papers seized by the government from the files of Henry Veeder, counsel for Swift X Co. Attorney Vanderveer moved that all papers seized in the raids on l. w. w. headquarters be immediately returned. Judge Landis overruled the motion, and later over ruled a motion that a letter seized from the files of Wm. D. Haywood general secretary-treasurer which the government offered as an exhibit, be returned
 Opposed War Plans
 The activities of the leaders os the organization from its creation were briefly reviewed by Mir Nebeker. who said it would be shown that shortly before Americas declaration of war on Germany, an intensive campaign opposing war was begun by the I. w w. He said:
 The leaders of this anti-war cam paign took the attitude that should America lose the war the ultimate re- suit would not be contrary to their aims Indeed, they said: If the Ger man kaiser comes here and helps us overthrow the political institutions our real aim-strength to his arm
 Called Many Strikes Therefore they encouraged OppO- break down America's munitions pro- duotion plans. to stop production of wood for airplanes and metals for cannon.
 ''It will be shown their action was similar to obtaining a giant cannon and training it on this government while we were at war.
 'Of late months they have been in- creasing their membership by visit ing jails and recruiting all inmates by promises of 9 rosy future''
 Mir Nebeker said the government would show that sabotage. or direct action, had been practiced by the or ganization in nearly every industry. that this practice ranged from the disabling Of industrial plants to the spreading of bed bugs in exclusive hotels where employees had not been granted certain demands.

 Many Match Wilson
 The multitude of small subscrip- tions pouring into local headquarters today stimulated by the appeals to buy another bond" and match the president created genuine enthusi- asm among treasury officials who coll slider the moral effect of big sub scription roll quite as much as a huge poll of national credit. The movement to get individuals to buy $50 bonds to keep pace with President Wilson. who subscribed for baby bond af- ter already buying all they felt able to pay for. grew beyond bounds planned by oriGinators of the feature and telegrams received today charac- terized it as the distinctive campaign feature of the third loan
