BRITISH GENERAL MADE
LORD LIEUT.. OF IRELAND

London, May 5.-Field Marshal
Viscount French has been appointed
lord lieutenant of Ireland.
Lord French succeeds Baron VIM
borne, who was appointed lord lieu
tenant of Ireland in 1916, serving
to May 1916, and reappointed the
following August after the Dublin
revolt. In connection with that up
rising Lord Wimborne gave testi-
mony' before the investigating COM
mission which later absolved him
from responsibility for the out
break.
Field Marshal Viscount French
was commander in chief of the Brit
ish expeditionary forces in France
and Belgium at the outbreak of the
war, in August 1914, until the end
of 1915. In January, 1916, he was
appointed commander in chief OF
the home forces.
The official announcement of the
appointment of Field Marshal
French as lord lieutenant and OF
Edward Short, member of the house
of commons for Newcastle-on-Tyne
as chief secretary for Ireland, was
issued tonight.

Officials Jubilant
Over Loan Success

Washington, May 5.-Analysis of
the Liberty loan reports today show
ed that probably 100000 persons
bought bonds in the campaign which
closed last night-7,000,000 more
than in the second loan and 10000
900 more than in the first.
Latest tabulations showed $3,-
16,62S,25O reported subscriptions,
but the treasury now believes the
actual total, which may run to s4,-
100000, will not be definitely
known until May IL, four days af-
ter individual banks are required to
report. to federal reserve banks.
"Whatever the money total" said
treasury statement tonight, "the
loan just closed probably is the
most successful ever foated by any
nation"
Bank resources, it was pointed
out, have been drawn on compare
lively little to make the loan a sue
cess and the prospects for future
loans are brighter as a consequence
An added reason for jubilatior
among treasury officials is the indi,
cation that the government bond
buying habit is becoming stronger
among people of small means.

WAR REVIEW AT END
Policy to Be Adopted Provides for
Adequate Information About
American Troops!

Washington, May 5.-Early an
nouncement of Secretary Bakers
new plan for furnishing the country
with adequate and authentic ac-
counts of the doings of American
troops in France was indicated to-
day when the weekly war review,
heretofore issued by the department
failed to make it's appearance for
the first time in some months. In
explanation, it was said that the
news publicity policy was nearing
completion and the old form of
statement had been abandoned.
1t has been customary for the
statement to be given out on Sunday
for publication the following day
and covering operations in Europe
up to the preceding Friday or Sat-
urday. The review was made. up at
the war college and the fact that
it has frequently been certain that
it was founded largely on unofficial
press reports in commenting on the
situation has made officers here
skeptical as to it's value:
1t is now believed that more Of
fetal summary, dealing almost ex-
clusively with the activities of Am
erican troops as officially reported,
will be submitted.
General Pershing has not entered
upon the practice of issuing COM
muniques up to this time, it has
been explained, because his has not
been a wholly Independent army as
far as operations were concerned.
The situation is greatly changed
now and American units are scat
tered throughout the battle line.
Some of them face the Germans
with the French left wing near
Amiens; others are brigaded with
French troops at various points to
the south.
Efforts probably will be made to
get reports quickly from all of these
units as we'll as from the American
sector itself.

AMERICAN GUNNERS
MAKE HUNSRETREAT
Germans Completely
Chased From Front in
Sector at Luneville
SHELLS WORK GREAT HAVOC
Teutons Abandon Territory {,
Point Behind Their Second

Lines. q.
With the American Army in
France, May 5.-During the last
three days the American artillery in
the Luneville sector has completely
chased the Germans from their
front positions and have wiped GER
tain sections Of the targets in the
enemy area off the map. This is
the same artillery that not long
ago gave a similar performance in
another Lorraine sector.
On the present occasion, so far
as ali investigation shows, the Ger
mans have entirely abandoned the
territory at least as far back as a
point beyond their second line. The
only signs that they are there at all
are few machine gun posts hidden
in .out-of-the-way places in the back
areas, which cut loose when the 'op-
portunity offers.
Big Guns Flay Havoc.
The sections affected by the work
of these American artillerymen are
the line south and southwest of Hal
loville. (This town is approximately
thirteen miles almost directly east
of Luneville, and about six miles
from the German border at its near
est point, to the northeast.)' The
American raiders have found that
the shells had worked terrific havoc
at many places plainly visible where
the big projectiles from the heavy
guns had fallen. EH '.' ,

Austrians Assemble I'm
mense Army From
Other Fronts
WILL TRY TO REACH
PLAINS OF vENETIA
Blow Forced by Economic ,condi-
tions Throughout Dual Monarchy.
Quiet on French Front.

Over the battle lines along the
Piave River and in the mountainous
region in northern Italy, where the
allied forces have been holding their
positions since last November, after
the great Italian retreat from the
Isonzo, there is increased tension
and the threatened blow at this
front may be launched by the Teu-
tonic allies within few days. For
many weeks the Italian war Office
has been aware that the Austrians
have been assembling the legions
withdrawn from the Russian and
Roumanian fronts for a drive at the
Italian armies and it is believed that
it will not be long before the CEN
tral powers will make another at
tempt to reach the plains of Vene-
tia, break through the allies line
and seek decisive combat in that
theater. ~
Emperor Karl of Austria, accom-
panied by his chief of staff and
high German and army officers, is
reported on his way to the Italian
front and the great movement of
troops in Tyrol and Trentino would
seem to indicate that vast bodies of
men are being taken from other
fronts to be hurled at the Italian
positions.
E"'a Blow Expected in Mountains
The, blow it is generally believed,
will fall somewhere in the mountain
GUS section of the front, probably
in, the Lagarina and Astico Valleys.
These sectors face the north and, if
broken, would permit the foe to
penetrate into the lower foothills of
the mountains, or even reach the
plains. If this should occur the ar
mics along the Piave River would
be compelled to fall back, probably
as far as the Adige River. This
would entail the loss of Venice and
a vast expanse of country to the
enemy.
The decision to launch an offen-
sive of grand proportions in Italy
was doubtless forced by political and
economic conditions prevailing in
Austria. An offensive campaign
that yields of ground might serve
to still the elements which are seeth
ing throughout the dual empire and
would postpone the day Of reckon
ing that seems in store for the rul-
ers of Austria.

press to you the feeling that have
that we are all comrades in a great

you have accomplished. I congratu-
late you and bid you Godspeed.
"Cordially and sincerely yours,
"Woodrow Wilson"

Management and workmen of

they are working shoulder to shoul-
der with their comrades in the
trenches. The patriotic spirit shown
by the workmen of this company
exists in every ship yard in Ameri-
