POPE BENEDICT INTENDS TO
 ISSUE NEW PEACE OFFER
According to Wireless Dispatches,
 Quoting Cologne Newspapers.

Washington. May 1.-Wireless des- patches dated The Hague and quoting Cologne newspapers as saying Pope Benedict intends to issue a new peace offer on May 19 were accepted in off cial circles here today as another bit of German propaganda. Hefntofore the state department has been able to gather an intimation of the pur- pose of the pohtiff to initiate peace proposals. but not a suggestion of such a nintention has come from any source recently.
 The statement in the despatch that : the news of the popes' purpose had reached Berlin. where 1t has been re- eeIved sympathetcally' was taken here to indicate that German influence is being brought 10 bear on the pontiff to intervene. Assuming such to be the case. officials feel that there might be some grounds for believing that the Germans now recognize that their ef- forts to attain a military decision in the west this summer are doomed tc failure

AS MANY SOLDIERS AS WE
 GAN EQUIP AND TRAIN Is the Program to Be Presented to Congress by Secretary Baker.

Washington, May 1.-Secretary Ba- ker will carry to congress tomorrow the army increase program mapped out by President Wilson and his advisers and based on the determination to win the war, if it takes the whole man power of the nation to do it. There are indications that he will ask that all restrictions on the number of troops to be raised be removed and the gov ernment authorized to mobilize as many men as it can tquip, train and send to the battle front in France
 When the war secretary appears be- fore the house military committee with supplemental estimates for the army he is expected to disclose that the l! department has reason to believe it can handle during the present year at least double the existing force under arms of approximately 1900 900 men, That would mean a total of 3,200, 900 soldiers for whom clothing, equipment and transportation are now in sight. i Should additional facilities become ! available, however, it is indicated that President Wilson wishes to be able to i call out more men without delaying to i seek authority.
 l Evidence came today in various ways i of the tremendous effort that now is peILS made to send American armies ! into the fight in such numbers and l such times as to make victory certain.
 In the morning the heads of the ship 1 ping board and the war industries | board met with the war council, com posed of army officials. Details of ad- ditional ships and supplies were gone into, it is understood, on the basis ot the recent surveys of the situation. Later the presidents war cabinet

 Another Furious Drive in Prospect.
 Indeed. advices from the British front in Flanders are to the effect that another furious drive by Von Arnim is in immediate prospect. Emperor William has been at the front deliv- ering f1ambuoyant speeches to the troops in an endeavor to spur them on to victory.
 Meanwhile British and French ar tillerists are sending veritable rain of shells on Mont Kemmel, the chief point of vantage gained by the Ger mans in the Ypres sector. Thus far the allied guns have held back all at tempts by the enemy to reinforce his men on the hill. and if the good work ] is kept up the hilltop is likely soon to grove to be death trap for it's cap tors.
 Nothing as yet has been vouch- safed regarding the fnter-allied war council which is holding sessions at 1 Versailles that are expected to bring l forth decisions of great moment Rep resentatites of all the allies are in at 1 tendance.
 Confidence in Foch. | Great faith in the ability of General Foch and the allied commanders on the western front again has been ex- pressed by M. Clemenceau, the French premier. - Returning from a visit to the front. the premier said he con sidered the line stable and that as a result of the steps taken by the vafi- ous commanders it was outside the ] realm of immediate danger.
 The fighting on all the other fronts except in Palestine and Mesopotamia continues of minor character II both the latter theatres. however tht British have returned to the attacl

 Bohemian Troops .Joir Italians.
 The Bohemian troops are joining the Italians against Austria, accord ing 10 the London Mails correspond ent at Italian headquarters. Even now some of the Bohemians are on the Italian line, clad in Italian uniforms.
 This information has passed through the hands of both Italian and British censors and would therefore appear to be authentic The defection of the Bohemians would in a measure eX plain the delay in the proposed great offensive. long heralded, of the Aus trians against the Italians.
 Prague, capital of the crownIand of Bohemia. has recently been the center Of riotous demonstrations again& Germany and the Germans The Austro- Hungarian foreign minister Count Czernin. has besn strongly de- nounced and President Wilson and the entente allies have been cheered The Czech members of parliament, to- eether with the Slovene and Serbo- Croat delegates. have been leaders in the opposition to German rule
 Having been defeated with enor- nous losses in every phase of the fighting around Ypres. the Germans have attempted no further onslaughts. Inaction prevailed Wednesday before the positions held by the British and French troops, especially those in the hands of the British, which it had been the ambition of the Germans to capture, separate the British and the Trench armies and open the way. for rush toward the channel ports.
 Since Monday what activity there has been in this region was carried out by the British and French. botl Of whom have materially bettereG their positions-the French near Lo. ere and the British at Meteren Or both sectors ground was captured ant prisoners were taken.
