Artillery Very important.

: Washington.-Further evidence of
the tremendous Importance Of artillery
in modern warfare, shown by official
records of the War Department, has

mean war to 12r71O,OOO in 1918. In

1,95O,OOO rounds of artillery nimuni-
tion, while in 1918 the combined Brit
ish, French and American batteries
shot 160,615,0O0 rounds. In the same
period, the approximate number Of

VIENNA IN
RED CONTROL
THREATS TO STARVE THE CITY
UNLESS THE DISORDERS
HALT.
PROPERTY IS SEIZED
BOLSHEVIkl RULE TO BE ESTAB-
LISHED BY SOLDIERS CoUN-
GIL REPORTED.

Vienna, April 21.-Control of Vienna
has been taken over by the soldiers
council. Quiet prevails, but commun-
izing of the property of those unable
to resist has begun. 1t is possible there
will besnO change in the name of the
government, but it will be BOlshevist
in purpose. The situation is much the
hours after the radicals had taken con-
troll. The policing Of the city has been
taken over by the Volkswehr. The par
lament building has been occupied by
two, battalions of soldiers after repre-
sentatiyes of the soldiers council had
placed 5000 men at the governments
disposal upon the understanding that
the police would be dispersed.
The soldiers are commanded by Col.
Stoessel WINNER, who takes orders
from the soldiers council, which, is
either socialistic or communfstic.
Colonel Cunningham, in the name Of
the allies, has issued proclamation
declaring that if there is further dis
turbance the food supply will be cut
off. For that reason serious trouble is
| unlikely.
Two demonstrations were started
during the week, the outgrowth Of sew
eral communist meetings which were
| lightly attended by Austrians. One of
these meetings took place at the war
office, when the Austrian republican
| flag Of red and white was pulled down
by small crowd and red flag run
up in it's place.
It is significant that the outbreak
happened at the time of the visit Of
Joseph Pogany, reputed to be the rul-
ing chief of the Hungarian communist
government, and other Hungarian Of
ficials, who are said to realize that it
will be impossible for their plan to
succeed. without the Austrian aid.
:.Pogany, in an interview which was
printed locally, declared that the
Americans favored the Bolsheviki. He
pointed, out that Americans already
had furnished food to Budapest, but
did not state that the food was sold
by the Americans to the Karolyi gov
ernment, or that, in view Of having re-
ceived the money, they delivered the
goods notwffhs standing the existence of
the communist government.

London, April 17.-The allied repre-
sentatives in Paris have arrived at
complete understanding on the great
fundamental questions that would ef-
feet peace with Germany, Premier
George declared in addressing the
House of Commons. The allies had
formulated their demands and he
hoped that they would be presented
shortly. The premier declared, how
ever, that the situation was "stiH full
of perils for all countries" He plead
ed that "those who were trying to do
their best be let alone" >-'.'>>
No conference in history, said the
premier, had been faced with prob.
lens Of such variety, complexlty,
magnitude and gravity. The congress
of Vienna, which was the nearest ap-
proach to it, took eleven months for
it's work, but that congress, Mr.. Lloyd
George pointed out, sank into 1insig--
nificance as compared. with what. had
been settled by this conference.
The time spent by the peace con-
ference in framing the League of Ma
tions plan saved time instead of vast
ing it, Mr.. Lloyd George declared, as
the league would provide at@means of
adjustment of possible errors.
II would rather leave Russia Boil
shevist until they see their way out
of it rather than see Great Britain
landed in bankruptcy" was one of the
premier's declarations.
cit is not true that the United
States and Europe have been at vari-
ance, 1.-THE premier declared. He depre-
Gated attempts to sow .dissension
among the delegates.
After. referring to the Worldwide
extent of the war, the premier said
that new states had sprung into ex-
istence, some, of them independent
some semi-independent and some that
might be protectorates, and although
their boundaries might not. be defined,
some indication. ll1t ct. =. them must be
given. .>
The premier made i vigorous at
tack upon thoseS who had ''attempted
to SOW dissension, distrust and sus-
picion" between. the nations whose
''cordiality and good will toward each
other was essential" He could not
conceive of aseworses e;crine, he de-
clared, at a time when nothing could

The delegates, said Mr.. Lloyd
George, had never forgotten. what

had not forgotten to what She was,

repetition of German attack, but to
feel a sense of security against it.
The conference had come to a
unanimous conclusion on all the ques-
tions before it, including decision
that to publish the peace terms before
they were discussed with the enemy
would be first-class blunder. Their,

MAY CALL AN
EXTRA SESSION
1T is BELIEVED THAT WILSON
WILL CONVENE CONGRESS
BY JUNE I.
SITUATION IS CLEARING
HOPED GERMANY WILL NOT DE-
LAY FINAL PEACE
TERMS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Paris, April 19.-It was stated in
well-informed quarters that the situa-
tiOn of the peace negotiations was
such that President Wilson probably
would be able to sail homeward May
20, and possibly little earlier-May
Is. The belief was expressed that the
President would call an extra session
of Congress to convene between May
Is and June 1. Present indications
are that the peace treaty will be
signed before the Presidents depart
ure. Information reaching the dele
gates tends to show that the Germans
are not planning to take up time and
delay the signing of the treaty, as they
desire a settlement of the peace terms
at the earliest possible moment.
Paris.-A petition asking for the
punishment of the Germans RESPONSE
BILE for the deportation of women from
Lille, Roubaix and Tourcoing in the
spring of 1916, will soon be handed to
the peace conference. It is signed by
$4,000 women, including Madame Gas
ton, Calmette and Mrs. Anna Roose-
velt. The petition says:
''In spite of the most elementary
laws of humanity, thousands of wom-
en-, girls and children of every condi-
tiOn were Systematically abducted
from their families and were forced to
submit to the most Odious treatment.
We women Of France, with bleeding
and broken hearts, demand justice.
from the peace conference ON behalf
of our martyred sisters.
''TO prevent such crimes from ever
being perpetrated again we demand
that those guilty of them be punished
like ordinary criminals. We trust you
will exact full justice from Germany
and her allies. We are nearing the
anniversary of the day, April %, 1915,
when that odious deed, against which
the women of all nations protest, was
carried out, and we firmly trust that
another year wiz not elapse before the
guilty are punished, both those who
issued the order from Berlin and those
who executed it in the most brutal
way"
With the return of David Lloyd
George, the British premier, from his
visit home, for his House of Commons
address, the council of four, compris-
ing the British, French and Italian
premierS and President Wilson, re-
sumed it's deliberations. The "big
four" met in the Paris ''White House.
The Polish-German boundary ques-
ton was finally disposed Of by the
council of four this morning. No an
nouncement was made of the decisions
taken, but it is understood that Dan
zig will be internationalized, while the
Poles will have a corridor running
from that city to their frontier to give
them access to the sea.
Only routine work in connection
with the coming of the German dele
gates has been taken up. The most i'm
portant remaining question to be set
tied is that of the Jugo-Slav and Ital-
ian claims in the Adriatic Baron Sid
ney Sonnino, italian foreign minister,
will set forth the Italian case, it is ex-
pected.

have attacked the American Red Cross
mission at Kovno, Lithuania, according
to a cablegram received here by the
Lithuanian national council from it's
Paris representative. The message
gave neither the time nor result of the

''The American Red Cross mission at
Kovno, Lithuania, has been attacked
by German soldiers. While defending
the Americans, one Lithuanian soldier

Indignation in Kovno, and the funeral
Of the hero developed into a great

uania," the councils cablegram added.
''The Poles intend to recognize Lith-
uania's independence and enter into an
agreement to form a common defens
i've military front against the Bolshe-
Wiki. The fight of our heroic army
against Russian Bolsheviki is proceed
ing successfully. The allies are send
