CABINET
FACING SERIOUS
STATE Of AFFAIRS
LABOR PARTY CONSIDERING
WHETHER 1T CAN SUP
PORT GOVERNMENT.

London, April 13.-At the week
end, a serious state of affairs de-
veloped affecting the position of the
Lloyd George government, accord
ing to the parliamentary correspond
ent of The Daily News. The labor
party, he says, is opposed to Irish
conscription and the labor ministers
are considering whether they can
support the government.
George Nicoll Barnes, who is
member OF the war cabinet, is said
to be in complete disagreement with
the government on the Irish con-
scription policy.
If the governments proposals are
pressed forward, in the way indi-
Gated by Premier Lloyd George and
Chancellor of the Exchequer Bonar
Law, the correspondent adds, it is
probable the labor executive will
call on the labor ministers to with
draw from the government. Some
liberal members are believed to be
very adverse to Irish conscription.
The situation, it is added, will
have to be composed today or to-
morrow, or the government will be
in grave difficulties.

STONE FUNERAL
THIS AFT FTERNOON

Washington, April 15.-Ofhcial
Washington turned from its war du-
ties today to attend the funeral of
William ]. Stone of Missouri, chair
man of the senate foreign relations
committee, who died at his home
yesterday as the result of a paralytic
stroke suffered last Wednesday.
1t was announced that the serv-
ices would be conducted at 4 p. m.
today, with the Rev, J. Forrest Pret-
lyman, chaplain of the senate, in
charge. The family and a congress
ional committee will accompany
the body to Jefferson City, Mo-,
where it will lie in state Wednesday
at the Missouri capital. Burial will
take place at Nevada, Mo-, Senator
Stones old home.
Senator William J. Stone was in
public life As years and during that
long period probably engaged in as
many political contests as any man
OF his time, ranging all the way
from controversies over county Of
fees to the broadest national issues.
At the entry of the United States
into the war, Senator Stone per
formed the trying feat of antagon-
izing his own party administration
and then re-aligned himself with il

proposing the arming of American

JOHN R DEFINING, ARRESTED IN NEW
YORK, BROUGHT TO ARDMORE TO
FACE EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGE

Sam H. Harris, undersheriff, re-
turned late Saturday night from
New York City, bringing with him
John r. Denning, wanted here on
charge of embezzlement.
On April 2, A. J. Hardy, county
attorney, filed complaint in Justice
Franklin Bourlands court against
Denning, charging him with having,
on March %, 1918, "willfully, fraud
ulently and feloniously appropriated
to his own use $3.50 while bookkeep-
er for S. A. Apple" 1t is set forth
in the complaint that the money was
taken, not as a part of his duties as
such bookkeeper, but with the in
tent to appropriate it to his own use.
Denning had been gone from Ard
more several days when the COM

they were compelled to give ground

Forty Miles from Calais.
"The enemy now finds himself
within 40 miles OF Calais. The main
lines of communication to channel

battle front and thus facilitate the
German advance.
III the enemy can master the
driving power he will in all proba-
bility continue his assaults, hoping
that by an enyeIoping attack on an
oblique front, to use the classic
Prussian definition, he may score a
complete annihilation victory.

along this flank OF his new deeply
curved salient, struck repeated
blows to gain elbow room south OF

= Fighting heroically in hand-to-
hand engagements, British troops
have checked the German drive in
the region west of Armentieres and
this enemy effort, like the one in
Picardy, seems almost definitely
stopped. The Germans have sent
thousands of lives in reckless and
insistent attacks to break through
the British lines or to destroy the
British army, but the effort has been
without result desired.
Against the American sector
south of Verdun, German storming
troops hurled themselves Sunday.
American infantrymen beat the enc
my in hot fighting. The enemy with
drew to his trenches with the loss Of
nearly 100. Northwest of Toul the
Germans have not repeated the at
tacks which cost them 400 casual
ties.
About Neuve Eglise and before
Bailleul Field Marshal Haig's bat
tered divisions have been putting up
a desperate resistance to the Ger
mans. Neuve Eglise has changed
hands several times in furious fight
ing, and is now held by the Germans
after a fight in which the enemy sui
fered grievously. 1t is an impor-
tant strategic point as it is one Of
the outposts of the Messines ridge.
Although they have been but a
little more than a mile from Bail
ieul, a valuable position, for two
days the Germans have not been
able to advance more than several
hundred yards. West of the town
they have been repulsed in heavy
attacks and south, around Merris,
their efforts also have gone for
naught.
On the remainder of the battle
front in Artois there has been no
change. Near the apex of their
salient at Merville the Germans at
tempted an attack, but were dis
persed by artillery fire. In Flanders
and along the Messines ridge there
have been no further actions and
the British still hold the height on
the south, unchallenged.
On either wing of the sharp sali-
ent around St. Mihiel the American
troops in the last few days have
been meeting and beating off in fine
fashion strong German attacks. The
enemy has not followed up his ef-
forts northwest of Toul and east OF
St. Mihiel, where he was repulsed
in two days of hard fighting by the
Americans in Apremont forest. The
artillery duel here is heavy, with the
American gunners keeping up their
end of the exchange.
Sundays attack on the American
sector between Verdun and st.
Mihiel came after a violent bonn
bardment and was made by picked
enemy troops. Prisoners were cap
tured by the Americans and "a Ger
man dead and 10 wounded were
found in the American trenches,
while just beyond them were 80
more enemy dead. The Americans,
with hand grenades and bayonets,
went out of their positions to meet
the on-coming Germans. Two
American aviators have brought
down two German fighting airplanes,
the enemy fiers being captured.
There has been no activity on the
Picardy battle front and on the re-
mainder of the western front except
for artillery duels.

WILL SPEAK TOMOR-
ROW NIGHT.

Judge Hugo Wintener of Okla
homa City will address a mass meet
ing at Convention Hall tomorrow
night in the interest of the third
Liberty loan campaign.
Judge Wintener is regarded as
one of the most forceful speakers
available for the Liberty loan cam
paign and an eloquent and instruct
i've discussion of the loan and other
war activities is expected.
"The campaign for the third Lib
erty loan will continue throughout
the three weeks period, as origi-
nally planned, regardless of the fact
that our quota has been over-sub-
scribed,' Writ Franklin, county
chairman, announced today. THE
only thing that is keeping us back
now is the failure to receive suf-
hcient application blanks, but they
are due here now, and all commit
tees are going ahead with A Lib
erty bond in every home as their
goal. If the people of the United
States will only realize that the more
we subscribe now just means that
"a longer tinre will elapse before an
other call is made and that we are
answering the call Of our country
to a greater extent by so doing.
The subscription total should be
double the quota"

Washington, April l5.-The turn
ing point in the battle on the west
front is being reached, says the war
departments review of the military
situation for the week ending April
l3, issued today. The Germans have
failed in their purpose to achieve
victory in the field the statement
continues, and will soon be forced
to resume their old tactics
1--WE must bear in mind" the re-
view says, that the enemy is wag-
ing battle of annihilation to
achieve victory. He is fighting to-
day with the sole aim of annihilat-
ing the British armies. Thus, ter
rain conquered counts for little.
"Whilc it must be admitted that
German operations since the begin
ming OF the present offensive have
resulting more than a mere plough
ing up of part OF the allied trench
system and the capture Of local OBJ
jcctives along a wide front, never
thcless the aim of the German high
cr command to obtain a decisive
strategic success by the assaults has
not been attained.
Failed in Main Purpose.
"Thc turning point in the west Is
being reached. The Germans have
scored a distinct advantage which
it would be unwise to endeavor to
belittlc. Yet, they have failed in
their great purpose to achieve vic
tory in the field and will soon be
forced to resume their old tactics,
seeking to gain limited objectiveS,
striking first at one point, then at
another, in order to render the al
lied position untenable and give
themselves greater security"
The review in part follows:
"As time passes it becomes cvi-
dent that the enemy is striking with
renewed vigor at the weakest point
he can find opposite him.
ain the offensive in Picardy the
Germans sought for a rift in the
line where the French and British
lines joined. Failing to achieve any
definite far-reaching results from
this operation, they promptly re-
turn to the assault elsewhere and
plunge forward hoping that, by
driving a wedge into the sector
along the front held by Portuguese
and British units, they may be able
to roll the British toward the sea,
and effect a break through.
This is the operation attempted
this week in the region of the IA
nous battle-ground of the early days
OF the war in front of Lille.
Here, on a frontage OF 10000
yards, stretching from Armentieres
to the La Bassee canal, the segment
held by the Portuguese troops, flank
ed on either side by the British
divisions, was penetrated after an
intense bombardment.
"The hostile attack was favored by
a thick mist and in spite of the fact
that the British fought tenaciously

BRITISH CHECK GERMANS
WEST OF ARiNENTZERES
Czcrni1, Austro-HuD>-Hon
Foreign Min. +% Resigns

Amsterdam, April 15.-C cunt
Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian fc
eign minister, according to a dis
patch from Vienna, has resigned.
Emperor Charles accepted the res
ignation and entrusted Count Ger
min with the conduct of foreign af-
fairs until his successor is ap-
pointed.
An official statement received
here today from Vienna asserts that
the latest statements of the French
premier, M. Clemenceau, concern
ing the conversations between Aus
tria and France regarding the pos
sibility of opening peace negotia-
tions do not alter the situation as
regards the majority Of Count Ger
nin's declarations. The Austrian
foreign ministry, the statement says,
is unable to ascertain who was re-
sponsible for delivering to the
French what is said to have been
forged letter, substituted for the
letter which was to have been de-
livered. Neither Prince Sixtus,
whose character is beyond suspic-
ion, nor anyone else is accused of
falsihcation, continues the statement
which concludes:
THE affair is herewith declared
to be at an end"
Count Czernin did not know Of
Emperor Charles letter to Prince
SiXtus when he made the statement
that France had initiated the con-
yersations with Austria, according
to a Vienna dispatch to the Lokal
Anzeiger of Berlin. On learning OF
the letter he resigned, but yielded to
"a arequest that he remain in office
until the conclusion of the peace
agreement with Rumania.
The recent publication by the
French government of the futile
peace appeal by Emperor Charles of
Austria-Hungary in March, 1917
and the efforts of the emperor and
the Austro-Hungarian foreign office
to explain this letter to the satisfac-
ton of Germany and the German
emperor, probably were the most
potent influences in bringing about
the resignation OF Count Czernin.
Since he was appointed foreign
minister on Dec. %, 1916, in success
sion to Baron Burian, Count Ger
min has been very active in attemp.
ing to bring about peace and the
moderate tone of his speeches has
been in sharp contrast with that OF
the German chancellors and foreign
secretaries. However, his participa-
ton in the forced peace upon Rus
sia as well as that upon Rumania
did not show that his actions kept
step with his words.
Czernin Honestly Doubted.
In the peace offensive of the
present year, Count Czernin in the
Austrian reichstrath, on Ian. 25
suggested an exchange of views be-
tween Austria-Hungary and the
United States. He announced also
that Austria based her negotiations
with Russia on the policy of no an

HIons or indemnities, but there
,ayS was some doubt whether his
lacihst maneuverS were honest or
were inspired by Berlin in an effort
to bring about split among the en-
tente allies.
Count Czernin on April 4. in an
address at Vienna, declared that
Premier Clemenceau had sought
peace negotiations with Austria.
French premier replier that Ger
min lied. The French and Austrian
offices then issued statements ex-
planning the unofficial negotiations
in Switzerland.
Early last week the French gov
ernment declared that Emperor
Charles and Count Czernin both had
said that the claim of France to
Alsace-Lorraine was Just. This
brought a denial from Emperor
Charles in the form of telegram to
Emperor William, to whom he re-
lterated his loyalty to the German
cause, and denied that he had said
France was justified in wanting
AISace-Lorraine returned.
This Immediately brought from
the French government the publica-
ton of letter from Emperor
Charles to his brother-in-law, Prince
SiXtus of Bourbon, which was auto
graphed and which the emperor
asked be given to President Poin-
caire. In the letter the emperor said
that France should have Alsace-
Lorraine and that Belgium and Ser
bla should be restored. He also
asked that London and Paris be felt
out as to probable peace terms.
Hun Papers Attack Austrians.
German newspapers have attack
ed both Emperor Charles and his
foreign secretary because of this
letter and attempts have been made
to show that it was not written by
the emperor. 1t has been reported
in Vienna that this was no attempt
to hide its authenticity, but that the
French version was garbled. 1t was
also reported that the letter was
written by the emperor's mother
in-law.
Count Czernin was in Rumania
when the letter was published BY
the French government and he was
summoned to Vienna Friday.
Count Otto Kar Czernin Won Chu-
denitz, a wealthy Bohemian land
owner, was minister to Rumania
when that country entered the war

Emperor Francis Joseph, Count
Czernin was appointed foreign min

In addition to being foreign min
