SERGEANT MAJOR TAFT
 IS PROVING EFFICIENT
Son Of Formsr>President Taft is Rec commended For Promotion,


 With the American Army in France. March 29.-(By The Associated Press). Sergeant Major Charles P. Taft, son o1 Former Prtsident William H. Taft, nas been recommended through the regular military channels for promo ton to a commissioned officer. Ser geant Major Taft. who has been at the front for some time, is said to have proved himself an efficient non-com missioned officer and to have qualifi- cations for a commission.
 The chief of staff of certain corps the other day received a number of recommendations for promotion. Among those recommended was a ser geant major who, though still under age, had served year and risen to his rank through efficiency and who 1t was declared, showed all the oual- ifications necessary for a commission ed officer.
 The chief of staff after reading the recommendations, came across the name of Sergeant Major Taft. In looking up the records. young Taft's identity was discovered. Until today hardly any members of the American expeditionary force knew that Ser geant Major Taft was a son of a for mer president of the United States Young Taft is popular with all the officers and men,

 This means unffication of all the armies opposing the Germans. a step which the American and French mil itary men have urged and which ap- parently has been brought about by recognition of the imperative demand for concentrated effort to hurl back the gigantic thrust of the enemy in France.

produced animated discussions which are feebly echoed by the newspapers, says the message. Tn Austria the situation appears difficult According to a correspondent in Vienna who writes to the Munchener Nueste Ma chrichten they are facing a new minis terial problem by the prolongation of military operations. On the other hand the letter of Professor Lam masch, the text of which has not been published by any paper, but which puts clearly the question of MitteI- Europa and the German alliance, has raised a great commotion in the Ger man circles of Austria.
 Food Situation Critical.
 Finally what is more serious for the monarch of the Danube. the food sit- uation has entered critical stage The Austrian premier Seydler has just declared that one could not absolutely count upon the importation of ce- reals from Runania or Ukrania before the month of June.
 Alluring Promises Not Fulfilled.
 This Statement after so many al- turing promises was only made after an urgent intervention on the part oi the German social democratics of Aus tria, who declared that it was impos- sible for the workmen to endure an other diminution in the potato an6 fat ration. They added that no meas. ure would be efficacious and that tn, preoletariat saw but the one way O remedying things, in other words, al immediate and general peace. Vol Seydler could only promise some vagu, partial ameliorations especially in ia vor of the railway hands and affirm that the Austro- Hungarian govern ment would make every effort to ar rive at peace as quickly as possible.
 May Cause Crisis.
 These facts throw curious ligh upon the internal situation of the cen tral empires. Perhaps they may ex plain why Germany, without regart | for risks and losses, has wanted at al | costs to achieve a decision.
