.KAISER MAKES
READY FOR A
NEW RETREAT
Burning of Towns and Villages Immediately Back of
Hindenburg Line Leads British to Believe Teuton
Forces Are Preparing to Evacuate Country After
Destroying Everything in Path of Victorious Allied!
Armies; Bullecourt in British Hands With New Line
Apparently Doomed
*
_ Bullecourt is at last in British hands and the Drocourt-Queant)
line appears doomed. The tremendous sacrifices made by the
Germans have proved in vain and the flames of burning towns
behind their linefe give color to reports that Field Marshal Von
Hindenburg is contemplating another strategic retreat.
The capture of Bullecourt has brought the British to within)
two miles of Queant, on the Northern side of the famous switch j
line. Their guns have already encircled it at an equal distance to
the south and east and only a narrow gateway to the northeast
lies open to the German garrison. Bullecourt itself, over which
much blood has flown, stands on a height overlooking a broad val
ley which runs directly to Queant. It presumably will take some
time for the British to establish their heavy guns on this height,!
but the fate of Queant seems scaled.
Additional reports from the Italian |— i
front emphasize the importance of
the victory won by General Cadorn-t
but they also bring xvord that the
Austrians have reacted and ap
parently the usual period of coun
terattacks will follow the first suc
cessful assault on the Isonzo
heights. The enormous difficulties
of the terrain over which General
Cadorna is operating render im
probable any sensational advance
and the prospects are for a repeti
tion of the hammer and tong fight
ing that is proceeding in France.
Russian News Good
For the first time in weeks the
news from Russia is of a reassuring
™ character. Premier Lvoff expresses
high hopes that the coalition min
istry will weather the storms which
have convulsed the country, demor
alized the lighting forces and raised
the sinister specter of anarchy and
reaction. Generals Alexieff, Brussil
off and Gurko have resumed their
commands and for the time being at
least.ithe clamor ot the radicals and
visionaries, has died away.
Probably the most important news
from Europe is the announcement
that Japan is going to take an active
part in the great struggle. A Jap
anese naval force has arrived at
Marseilles to join the campaign
against the German submarines es
pecially, according to the dispatch
with the purpose of protecting
French shipping This unheralded
action by the allies' Oriental part
ner raises both political and military
questions of supreme interest, upon
which however there is no light at
present.
U. S. to Aid in Rationing
of Smaller Neutrals
By Associated Press
Washington, May 18. —The ration
ing of Holland, Norway, Sweden,
Denmark, Switzerland and Spain was
discussed to-day at a conference at
the State Department between Brit
ish Secretary Balfour, Secretary Lan
sing, Secretary Redfield and British
and American trade experts. The
necessity of limiting exports strictly
to those countries, both to prevent
their finding their way into enemy
territory and to conserve every pos
sible ton of allied shipping for the
most essential work, was considered
in all phases.
A general understanding was
reached as to the complete partici
pation of the United States in the
rationing system already developed
by the allied nations. The detailed
working out of the agreements,
however, depends on the enactment
of legislation giving the President
power of embargo and granting the
shipping board control over all car
go space. ,

RUMOR OF TRUCE
WITH RUSSIA IS
SENT TO HOLLAND
Coalition Cabinet With Six
Socialists Formed in
Petrograd
By Associated Press
London, May 18.—According
to an Exchange Telegraph dis
patch from Amsterdam It Is
rumored at The Hague that a
truce is about to be arranged
between Russia and the Cen
tral Powers as a result of the
political changes at Petrograd.
The rumor is characterized as
of German origin.
Petrograd, May 18.—The forma
tion of a cabinet in which six Social
ists are included has been com
pleted. A. I. Shingaroff, minister
of agriculture gave assurances re
garding the munition situation at a
conference between the cabinet and
General Alexieff and other generals.
M. Shingaroff said that the supplies
for the army were daily improving
In quantity.
Premier Prince Lvoff to-day re
ceived a representative of the Asso
ciated Press and authorized him to
transmit to America an expression
of the premier's confidence in the
future. Preu-ier Lvorr said:
Satisfactorily Settled
"The most serious crisis in the
modern history of Russia has been
satisfactorily settled and conditions
already show marked symptoms of
improvement. It is my impression
that the new coalition cabinet will
receive the support of all reason
able Russian citizens. We have for
the first time the prospect of a gov
ernment which will combine both
moral authority and material power.
"Most of the difficulties of my first
revolutionary cabinet arose from
the fact that in all questions I and
my colleagues were obliged to rely
solely upon moral persuasion. There
was no actual government power
with material force, such as you
have in America and in the other
democratic countries of the world.
After two months' experiment wo
discovered that moral influence was
a sufficient weapon with a vast ma
jority of reasonable Russian citizens
who desired tranquility, but un
likely both in the civilian population
and the army there are rivals and
small groups who actively aimed at
anarchy and repudiated all forms of
discipline.
To Suppress Anarchy
"The council of deputies has un
dertaken to support the government
against anarchy and disorder and
further to work for the restoring of
discipline to the army, naturally on
conditions, which we granted, that
the army will be democratized.
"The program of policy which we
have agreed upon with our new col
leagues contains very great conces
sions to the Socialists, but these con
cessions were an indispensable con
dition of Socialist collaboration in
the government."
Wants to Mary So He
Will Have More to Fight For
Corporal Howard Bixler at the
local recruiting station this morn
ing requested a short leave of ab
sence to go to White Plains to marry
the girl he met six years ago while
a student at State College.
Corporal Bixler believes he would
rather cross the water as a married
man because he would have • more
to fight for.
Miss Cecelia M. Wilson is the girl
he will marry.

ARMY WAR BILL

FOR APPROVAL
Calling Out of Men From 21
to 30 Will Follow His
Signature
Washington, Hay 18. President
Wilson's approval was the final step
necessary to-day to make the war
army bill a law.
As a preliminary, Vice-President
Marshall and Speaker Clark were to
sign the bill to-day after which it
goes to the White House. The
President was expected to sign the
bill immediately and to issue a
proclamation fixing the day for the
registration of men for the army.
The War Department then will set
in motion the machinery for raising
an army in increments of 500,000
men from 21 to 30 years of age by
selective conscription.
President Wilson will determine
whether Colonel Roosevelt shall be
permitted to raise a volunteer expe
dition as authorized in the bill.
Secretary Baker has disclosed that

The new open-air schoolhuilding
is to be one story in height with
sufficient capacity to accommodate
twice the number of pupils now in the
Lochiel and Susquehanna buildings.
Robert R. Markley was recommended
to be named to draw the plans for
the open-air schol. and Krank G.
Kahnestock, Jr., for the Harris annex.
If the cost of the buildings is not
too great the board ow lill authorize
their construction at once, it is under
stood.
The retirement of Miss Agnes E G.
Schllck. a teacher in the Hamilton
building, was recommended by the
Teachers' Retirement Board. Miss
Schllck has taught twenty-six years

JAPANESE WAR
SHIPS SENT TO
NAVAL FRONT
Fleet From Orient Arrives at
French Port Ready For
Service
By Associated Press
Paris, May 18.—A number of Jap
anese gunboats have arrived at Mar
seilles to aid In the war on German
submarines and convoy French mer
chantmen. If the experiment shows
satisfactory results it will be ex
tended.
The arrival of Japanese warships
in Kurope to take part in the war on
German submarines marks the first
active participation by Japan in the
European struggle. The Japanese
navy has been active in the South
Pacific and aided in the capture of
the German Chinese colony of Tsing-
Tau. A number of German islands
in the Pacific were seized by Japa
nese naval forces in the early months
of the war and Japanese warships
aided in the pursuit of the Emden
and other German commerce raiders
in southern and far eastern waters.
The prestige of the Japanese navy
has been very high since its sensa
tional successes in the Russo-Japa
nese war. At the outbreak of the
European war Japan had fifty-five
destroyers with ten more under con
struction. Under a seven-year build
ing program submitted last year she
was to construct twenry-seven addi
tional destroyers.
