Blaze Believed of Incendiary Origin
Occurs at Memphis.
Memphis, Tenn., May 31.—A fire be-

origin today destroyed the warehouse
here of John Wade & Sons, wholesale
stock feed dealers, with its stock of
hay and grain and a quantity of sul-i
phur, valued at approximately $150,-
000. One negro, who was shot and
wounded by the watchman as he was
fleeing from the building, is said to
have told the police that he, had been
hired by two white men to keep watch
outside the warehouse while they en-
tered the building shortly before the
fire was discovered.
5,000 Copies of New Laws Received
From Printers.

Austin, Tex., May 31.—Five thousand
copies of the 116 new laws passed at
the last called session of the Thirty-
fifth legislature were received' today by
the state department from the print-
ers. These laws, which embrace the
woman suffrage act, statutory prohi-
bition and the governor’s war meas-
ures, are now ready for distribution.

Albany, N. Y., May 31.—Gov. Whit-
man today made public the text of the
antiloafing proclamation which he will
issue tomorrow.. It sets forth that the
industries of the state essential in the
successful prosecution of the war re-
@quire a large supply of labor. It con-
tinues:
“Public exigency requires that every
able-bodied male person between the
ages of 18 and 50 years inclusive be
habitually and regularly engaged in
some lawful, useful and recognized
business, profession, occupation, trade
or employment until the termination of
the present war.”
The proclamation also declares that
any such male person who refused to
be employed for at least 36 hours a
week is liable to a fine not exceeding
one hundred dollars or imprisonment
for not more than three months, or
both.
ing the decoration the emperor sent
the following telegram:
“In view of the great successes
which the brave, battle-proved troops
of your army have gained in these
days under your command, I confer
upon you the star of grand commander
of the royal order of the house of
Hohenzollern, with swords, and con-
vey to you my’ heartiest congratula-
tions on this high and well merited
distinction.”
British casualties reported week by
week have recently been running near
the 40,000 mark, evidently representing
the losses sustained during the heavy
fighting that started with the begin-
ning of the German offensive in March.
The total reported during April was
only 52,47,5, as the lists apparently did
not begin to reflect fully the effects
of the casualties sustained in resisting
the German thrusts in Picardy and
Flanders until the beginning of May.
Chicago, May 31.—Police captains
have been ordered to instruct every
“loafer” in their districts to have a
job by Monday morning, it was an-
nounced today.
By Associated Press.
London, May 31.—The Ger-
mans in their reprisals against
peasant orders in the Ukraine
drenched several villages near
Kiev with gas, according to a
By Associated Press.
Keeping the time of their advance in the center flowing strong-
ly, although seemingly less swiftly toward the Marne, the Germans
simultaneously have executed a stroke on the allied left flank that
has extended the battleline westward and virtually linked up the
present battlefield.with that of the Somme.
The attack was delivered along the Ailette river, northwest of
Soissons. Sweeping forward in the salient that projected between
the Somme and the Aisne battlefields, the Germans drove the allied
line back so that it now runs northwestward from the vicinity of
Soissons, through Epagny and Blerancourt to the Oise river, ap-
parently at its point of junction with the Oise canal, about eight
miles east of Noyon.
The Noyon area was included within the field of the German
offensive in March, when the French established new lines along the
Oise and the Oise canal to the east and southeast of that town after
being- driven back below St. Quentin. The German drive down the
Oise valley toward Paris was checked. The present offensive
movement here suggests the possibility of its resumption.

Will Attend American Congress of Med-

By Associated Press.
An Atlantic Port, May 31.—A mission
representing the British Medical so-
ciety, arrived here today to attend
the American Congress of Medical so-
cieties to be held in Chicago on June
10. The members include Sir Jas. Mac-
kenzie, Sir Arbuthnot Lane, and Col.
Herbert A. Bruce, consulting surgeon
of the British army in France.
Col. Bruce, who was formerly at the
University of Toronto, completed a
visit to the advanced hospitals at the
front before coming here. He saw
there Gen. Sir Arthur Slogget, director
general of the British medical serv-
ice, who, he said, asked him "to tell
the American people how much he ap-
preciated the wonderful help which
American doctors and nurses had ren-
dered to the British sick and wounded."

With the British Army in France,
May 31.—Another big British hospital
was bombed by German airmen early
yesterday morning, and once more
many medical workers and some pa-
tients were killed or wounded.
The hospital caught fire after a
large section of the building had been
demolished by a bomb. A few women
nurses were among the slain and their
bodies, together with those of a con-
siderable number more of the person-
nel and patients are buried in the
ruins, according to the latest report.

IN SERIOUS CONDITION.
mentary advance of an army and the
capture of a town may mean nothing.
The problem is more vast. For its
own reasons our command did not find
it advisable to give battle either on
the Somme or in Flanders after the
March offensive. It confined itself to
stopping the enemy.
“Shall we accept battle this time as
we formerly accepted on the Marne?
That is the secret of our command.
The Germans have no illusions as to the
value of the success they have gained.
They know we have several million
picked troops forming in maneuvering
masses which they will have to en-
counter—somewhere.
“If the enemy had the choice of
ground for the offensive, we have the
much more important choice of the field
of battle on which Germany’s destiny
will be decided. •
“It will be seen, therefore, there
is no ground for alarm. We probably
are witnessing the preliminaries to a
great battle which both sides wish to
be decisive. Consequently it is com-
prehensible that our commanders do not
act hurriedly, but strictly in accord
with plans agreed upon."

With the American Army in France,
Thursday, May 30.—German artillery
in the course of the night severely
bombarded the new positions of the
Americans at Cantigny, west of Mont-

high explosive shells in a brief space
of time. Several attempts made by
the Germans to come over were re-
pulsed with heavy losses by the Amer-
icans.

ous permanent funds and $36,690 to the

Moscow, Wednesday, May 29.—Strong
revolutionary detachments of demobi-
lized Russian soldiers and peasants,
equipped with machine guns and artil-
lery, have risen in the district of
Tschigerine, in the province of Kiev,
in an attempt to seize governmental
power. The bolshevik government has
been asked to send troops to subdue
the revolutionaries.
German forces, while disarming
Ukrainian troops today at Odessa, were
fired upon. The Germans then ar-
rested a number of the important per-
sonages in the- Black sea port and took
them to the German headquarters.
Peasant disorders are spreading
throughout the province of Podolia.

London May 31.—Casualties in the

IN TWO MILES OF MARNE.
The advance in the center has now
brought the Germans within two miles
of the Marne at one point, Paris dis-
patches report. The wedge here ap-
pears increasingly narrow, however,
and on its flanks below Soissons and
Rhiems the enemy is reported firmly
held.
The French war office, announces
the breaking down of enemy attacks
in the Soissons area and to the south,
while on theallied right the line ex-
tending northeastward toward Rheims
from the neighborhood of Vezilly ap-
pears virtually unchanged, the Ger-
mans failing in all their efforts to win
ground.
The energetic defense on the right
wing is exemplified by the fighting at
Thillois, three miles east of Rheims,
where the Germans entered the town,
only to be driven out by the French
counterattack.
By such resistance the safety of
Rheims is momentarily safeguarded,
but observers of theoperations view its
ultimate fall as apparently inevitable.
The probability of German penetra-
tion right up to the banks of the
Marne in the center of the advance is
likewise I indicated in the news dis-
patches, which mention the near ap-
proach of the Germans to Chateau
Thierry and Dormans, both of which
towns are on the Marne river. The
civilian population has left Chateau
Thierry and some of therefugees from
it have already passed through Paris
for the interior.

London, Thursday, May 30.—Under
cross-examination after his startling
testimony for the defense in the trial
of Noel Pemberton-Billing on the
charge of libelling Maud Allan, dancer,
and J. T. Grein, manager of the Inde-
pendent theater, Capt. Harold Sherwin
Spencer declared today that in May,
1917, he had made his, report to the
chief of the British general staff in
writing:
“We are being undermined in Italy
because the British ambassador , in
Italy is being blackmailed by the Ger-
mans and is afraid to send information
to England.”
Capt. Spencer added that the ambat
sador's name was also on the list pre-
pared by German secret agents of 47,-
000 British men and women. Earlier,
Capt. Spencer and Mrs. Villart Stewart
declared that the persons named were
said to be addicted to vice and held in
bondage to Germany through fear of
exposure. Capt. Spencer said he was
born in the United States and had
served in the American navy.
Mr. Pemberton-Billing, the defendant,
is publisher of the newspaper Vigilante
and a member of parliament.
Mrs. Stewart, under examination by
Mr. Pemberton-Billing, said the book
which she had seen, but was not pro-
duced, contained the names of Ex-
Premier Asquith and Mrs. Asquith
Viscount Haldane, former secretary for
war, and Justice Darling, who is try-
ing the case against the member of
parliament.
Speucer said he was shown the book
by Prince William of Wied in Albania.
He said he did not remember seeing
the name of Mr. Asquith in it, but de-
clared the names of Mrs. Asquith and
Viscount Haldane were there.
ASKS PROTECTION.
Both Capt. Spencer and Mrs. Stewart
said they had been threatened, the for-
mer after he had communicated the
fact .to the authorities, and Mr. Pem-
berton-Billing asked the judge for pro-
tection for himself and his witness.
The judge referred hint to the chief
commissioner of police.
Capt. Spencer before giving the
names of Mrs. Asquith and Viscount
Haldane, said he would only give the
names of those who had been ap-
proached and had succumbed to Ger-
man temptation. He had placed the
information before the .foreign office,
the war office and the admiralty.
“There was great political pressure
brought to bear,” said the witness,
“and I was told that if it were pub-
lished it would undermine the whole
fabric of the government. I then took
1 it to the political machine.”
Capt. Spencer declared pressure had
been brought to bear to suppress the
matter in September last when “ a po-
litical crisis was on and they were
trying to bring Asquith back to
power.”
Mr. Pemberton-Billing explained that
his object in calling testimony as to
the existence of the book of names
was to prove the existence of the cult
referred to in the alleged libel and its
political significance.

Paris, May 31.—Baffled by the valor
of the allied soldiers, the Germans yes-
terday failed to enlarge greatly the
pocket in the allied line. Even in the
center the enemy appears to have been
held and the advance there is slack-
ening.
In accordance with their favorite
maneuvers the Germans are apparent-
ly swinging their columns eastward
with the object of getting around
Rheims through Ville-en-Tardenois and
the valley of the Ancre. The bastion
constituted by the ruined city, the
ground known as the Mountain of
Rheims, is a menace to the German
flank. It is too strong to be attacked
from in front with any chance of suc-
cess, so the enemy is trying to turn it
from the southwest.
The Havas correspondent at the
front, who is considered to reflect the
official view, thus summarizes the sit-
. uation:
“The rapid advance of the enemy is
due to the temporary numerical in-
feriority of the allies which has com-
pletely changed the aspect of the strug-
gle. It is necessary to go back to the
beginning of the war for an analogous
situation. This is a war of movement
where two armies maneuver under the
open sky.

Another Effort Will Be Made to Prove
Grace Lusk Insane.
By Associated Press.
Waukesha, Wis., May 31.—Grace
Lusk, convicted slayer of Mrs. Mary
Newman Roberts, is in such a serious
condition that her attorneys have de-
cided to make one more effort to prove
her insane and have her removed to an
asylum instead of prison. If she were
found insane and sent to an asylum, but
recovered later, it would not affect her
status as a convicted prisoner. She
would simply be transferred to the
penitentiary.

With the American Army in France,
May 30 (Thursday).:—In one of the
counterattacks, launched against the
Americans in Cantigny the Germans
tried to use tanks. The enemy infan-
try had no more than shown itself than
the American artillery opened a heavy
fire. Both the foot soldiers and the
tanks were driven back in disorder.
The new American positions in Can-
tigny are being improved constantly.
The Americans have not budged an
inch since they gained the town. Every
time the enemy artillery starts a bom-
bardment the American gunners re-
taliate and smother the opposition fire.
There was much aerial activity on
the front northwest of Toul today and
two, if not three, German machines
were shot down.
Lieut. Edward Rickenbacher, the for-
mer automobile racer, not ‘ only
brought down one machine, but res-
cued Lieut. James A. Meissner, of
Brooklyn, after his machine had been
damaged. Single-handed, Rickenbacher
attacked two albatross biplanes and
three monoplanes.
German airmen made a pretentious
raid on the area behind the American
lines in Picardy last night. Bombs
were dropped on all sides of one of the
largest hospitals in the town many
miles to the rear of the front. Amer-
ican and Fiench wounded soldiers were
carried to cellars and caves by Amer-
ican nurses and members of the Amer-
ican Red Cross.
Only a few persons were injured by
flying glass as most of the windows in
the hospital had been shattered by
bombs dropped the previous night. Sev-
eral private houses were wrecked and
a number of civilians, including sev-
eral babies, were killed and injured.
That the raid was planned on a much
large scale than recent ones over this
"territory is evidenced from reports
made by many Americans in villages
over which the raiders passed. The
Germans came in wave formation and
then scattered widely. One squadron
dropped bombs a few hundred feet
from an American field hospital and at
the same time one of the long-range
guns shelled a village a few hundred
i yards away.
The first alarm was sounded at 11
o’clock. The dropping of bombs and
the firing of many antiaircraft guns
began almost immediately. Later there
was a brief pause after the raiders- re-
turned to remain until almost dawn.
Continued on Fifteenth Page
Amiens and in the Albert region to the
north, as well as on portions of the
Flanders front, but no infantry move-
ments of note are reported.
In the Toul sector on the French
front the Americans have carried out
a successful raid.
The aerial activity over the territory
of the German advance is most intense
and French airmen have dropped many
tons of bombs on enemy targets in
addition to bringing down nineteen
German machines.
Berlin claims the capture of much
war material, including' a number of
the larger French guns. The number
of prisoners is now said to be more
than 35,000.
Elsewhere on the Western front
there has been little activity. The
artillery fire has increased in Picardy,
but infantry actions there and in Flan-
ders have been limited to raids.
FIGHTING AT CANTIGNY.
West of Montdidier the American
troops still maintain their hold on Can-
tigny, despite German counterattacks.
The Americans in their successful ad-
vance captured 242 prisoners, latest re-
ports say. Fighting continues around
Cantigny, but neither the enemy artil-
lery or infantry has been able to make
any impression on the American de-
fense. Lively fighting also has oc-
curred' in the Luneville and Toul sec-
tors. In aerial fighting northwest of
Toul one American aviator fell pris-
oner to the enemy. Two German ma-
chines were destroyed and another
sent down out of control.
In Northern Italy there has been no
infantry activity of moment. The ar-
tillery duel there is less violent.
Whether Treated Well or Not.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, May 31.—“It was the policy
of the I. W. W. to ruin the man who
employed them whether he treated
them fairly or not,” Frank Wormke, a
private in the American army, testi-
fied at the trial today of 112 members
of the organization charged with con-
spiracy to hamper the nation’s war
program.
Wormke testified under cross-exam-
ination that so far as he knew the
organization did not distribute secret
hand bills against enlistment, but
added that as a paid representative of
the I. W. W. he understood they were
opposed to the war.

Washington, May 31.—More than
400,000 tons of ships are released to
the United States and the allies by
Sweden under the terms of the com-
mercial agreement signed at Stock-
holm by representatives of the two
governments, the state department was
notified today.
News of the signing of the agree-
ment reached here first in news dis-
patches giving no details. Dispatches
from Sweden recently have said a re-
duction in the bread ration soon would
become necessary,'which would place
the country in real distress. The state
stores of grain, it was said, would last
only until August 5. The country
needs 67,000 tons of grain to get along
until the new harvest.
The full terms have not been made
public, but the American government
will give liberal treatment to Sweden
in supplying food rations, raw ma-
terials and manufactured products.
Successful negotiations were due, it
was said, to the new Swedish gov-
ernment, which is extremely friendly
to the United States.
Under the modus vivendi in effect
for some months the war trade board
has permitted exports to Sweden in
sufficient quantities to meet immediate
and urgent needs and Sweden released
to the allies and the United States
approximately 100,000 tons of shipping.

Washington, May 31.—Orders de-
tailing Brig. Gen. Charles G. Treat to
duty in Italy, was announced by the
war department today. It was said
that the orders might be revoked, as
they are contingent to some extent on
the final assignment of Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood who, though assigned
to command the Western department,
probably will be transferred at his own
request to a divisional camp.
Gen. Treat is now in command of
the Western department with head-
quarters at San Francisco.
By Associated Press.
Washington, May 31.—Official an-
nouncement was made today that 280,-
000 men will be called to the colors
during June. They will be ordered to
report June 24, but it has not yet been
determined to what camps they can be
assigned, so the list of apportionments
is for the present withheld.
The quota is based on estimates of
the space available for the men in
camps and cantonments. If the rate
of shipment of troops across again is
raised, still more men will be called.
In any event the probabilities are that
enough men will be called for special
service to round the number out to
300,000.

Amsterdam, May 31.—Drastic
methods employed by the German
medical authorities in treating
nervous patients in military hos-
pitals in Munich resulted in revolts
by the patients in which wards
were wrecked, according to the
Koelnische Volks Zeitung. At Ros-
enheim the hospital was burned by
the rebellious patients. The paper
adds that electric shocks of such
strength are employed that the pa-
tients screamed in terror.
Deputies have prepared a long
series of questions to ask in the
reichstag concerning the reports
of ill treatment.
