Germany's Resumption of Huge
&Forward Movement Fails
to Show Up.

GETTING READY
This Is Indicated by Apparent
Feverish Moving of Men
and Artillery.
Associates Press Summary

Germany's resumption of a gigantic
offensive on the western front has
not yet materialized. There were To-
cal operations in various sectors, but
the entire front is so quiet that il
might be considered encouraging. but
for the fact the Germans are known
to be feverishly. moving men and ma
terials for a new move Haig's report
makes special note of activity of the
German artillery north of Serre.
%hich is sman town and may be
the point selected by the Germans to
launch a great turning moeement
against this Arras sector
The southern portion of the British
front is also under heavy fire. which
may presage the resumption of a
thrust at Amiens.
Ukraine reports tell of the capture
by Germans of the Dowager Empress
Maria, and Grand Dukes Nicholas and
Alexander in Crimea.
on the italian front the fighting is
becoming sharper with the Italians on
the offensive. After the successful
operation on Monte Corno. south OF
sAsiago. the Italians have wiped out
an Austrian advance post on the i'm
nortant height OF Col del Orso. be-
tween
trian patrol parties were repulsed
north of Lake carda and along the
line west of the Brenta.
The announcement that Emperor
Charles had gone to the front to wit
ness the start of a new offensive
against the Italians which has not de-
yeIoped. has not improved internal
conditions in the dual monarchy and
the existence of a separate Austrian
state is reported to be in danger

minister will discuss plans for the

serious lack of food which has caused
outbreaks in Austria and Bohemia
has spread to. Galicia and many are
reported to be dying of hunger
1t is now two weeks since the ois-
astrous repulse north OF Mont kem-
mel and in that time the Germans
bave gained hardly a foot either in
F-landers or in Picardy. The French
and British, however. have taken
some small and locally important pc
sitions in limited attacks. the latest
advance having been made by the
r-rench north of KENNEL village IN
the capture OF hill A. and an adJoin-
ing farm. 1t Is felt the Germans can
not delay their attacks In strenth
much longer and that important sec

Arras and the Somme will soon ro-
soun6 again to the clask of mighty
hattIes. Meanwhile the opposing can
non are firing thousands OF shells into
and behind the hostile positions.

MOST CRITICAL MILITARY Ex-
PERTS LOUD IN PRAISE OF
TROOPS WHO PARADED THE
STREETS OF BRITISH CAPITAL.

LONDON, May f3.-Ihe American in
vasion of London is the feature of the
morning ewspapers today as it was on
Sunday The most critical military ex-
perts are loud in their praise of the
fine bearing of the American troops
who paraded through the British cap
ital Sunday One writer sums up the
general opinion in this way:
They have the cut of an Internally
adequate LOT of fighters. l would rath-
er lead them than tackle them"
Newspaper articles are illustrated
with photographs of different stages
of the march, an important place being
given to the scene outside Buckingham
palace with King George standing pc
side Colonel Whitman and saluting the
American flag.
"On every judge of fighting man.
hood the Daily Telegraph says, 1.-The
American troops made the same inn
preston. In physique and morale they
any country at the time when the
standard of European man power stood
at its highest point"
The carrying through of the Amer
lean effort, the Morning Post thinks,
means the turning of the scale against
the enemy. Germany, it says, never
made a more profound of more fatal
miscalculation than when she held the
power of America to be cheap.
The kaiser and his advisers, says the
Times, have brought together the Eng
lish speaking peoples more closely and
more rapidly than the fondest dream
ers after more intimate relations be-
tween them had dared to hope. That
is an immense event in the history of
tn old world and the new. 1t is the
greatest that has happened except that
war itself since the French revolution.
The lesson for England and America
is plain, and there is abundant proof
that both understand it. We have to
stick it out and the Americans have to-
hurry up and they are hurryfng up
splendidly.
Not one peace talk has been heard
in congress. The only criticisms breath
ed against the government consist Of
occasional complaints that it does not
get on fast enough with the war. That
Is the right temper for both sides of
the Atlantic.

French Minister of Marine Pre-
sents Facts and Figures
to Support Theory.
GERMANS ARE
AWARE OF FACT
Is Shown Out of 1000 Vessels
in Danger Zone, Not Single
Ship Was Sunk.

! PARIS. May i3-The effectiveness OF
the German submarine campaign is de-
clining. The German government is
aware of this fact. declared George
Leagues, minister of marine before the
naval committee OF the chamber OF
deputies today, but made the greatest
efforts to conceal it, He said the cit
uation was most favorable and that the
sinkings of submarines in the first
three months of 1918 through allied
measures was greater than the NUMBER
built by the enemy. Minister Leygues
referred to the statement made IN the
reichstag on April IL by Vice Admiral
Won Capelle, German minister OF ma
rine. in which he said 100000 tons of
allied shipping were sunk monthly.
This figure, the minister said was IN
correct. 1t was reached and passed IN
April. May and June of 1917. In July
il declined and in November it fell be-
low 100000 and since has diminished
continuously The minister gave the
following comparative table OF the ton
mage claimed to have been destroyed
by Germany and the tonnage actually
lost in the past five months.
December, claimed by Germany, lO2.-
600 tons. actual losses. 3S6,27I tons.
January, claimed by Germany, 632.-
600 tons: actual losses 302.459 tons.
February. claimed by Germany 6s9.-
600 tons; actual losses 352,5s2 tons.
March, claimed by Germany. 6so,OoO
TONS: actual losses. 35S,660 tons.
April. claimed by Germany 100000
tons: actual losses 26s,704 tons.
Leygues said that in February
March and April 3,123 French steamers
and 7sS sailing vessels passed through
the danger zone where a few months
ago losses by torpedoing had been very
heavy. Not single ship was sunk.
On the other hand. he said, the num-
Der of submarine destroyers had in
creased progressively since January
in such proportion that the effective
ness OF enemy squadrons cannot be
maintained at the minimum required
by the regulations. The number of
enemy U-boats destroyed in January,
February and March was far greater in
ed in the same month. In February and
April the number of submarines de-
stroyed was three less than the total
destroyed in the previous three months.
These results, the minister declared.
We're due to the methodical character
of the war against submarines: to close
coordination OF the allied navies: tol
the intrepidity and spirit animating
the officers and crews of naval and
aerial squadrons and to the intensified
tion of the use of old methods and the |
employment of new ones.
