ital bai already Buffered terribly from
Uil a effort to carry out the German
idea of atrlklng terror Into the Fath
erland'! enemici by the destruction
of their most loved works of art, and
very day adds to Its Buffering.
The correspondent went all over
the abandoned city and observed the
ffecta of the bombardment, which
fcaa turned parts of the town Into
fceapa of ruins and killed 62 men
civilians, SO women and five children,
besides wounding 62 men, 48 women
and 19 children before the populution
had an opportunity to evacuate the
ylice. Since the Germans have been
within cannon shot of Amiens, they
have hurled no fewer than 5,800 shells,
mostly six-Inch and eight-inch, Into
the city.
Every Indication points to a sys
tematic effort to destroy the public
buildings, as the Cathedral has been
truck by shell, which have pierced
the roof and walls, and the object
f firing InreHsnntly upon the town
cannot be explained, except upon the
assumption that It is carried out with
the purely barbarous Idea of the de
struction of the beautiful objects it
contains.
Thla follows from the fact .that no
troops whatever are in the city and
that the railroad passing through It
la not in use. The cannonade gen
erally ceases at nightfall, only to be
replaced by air raids, which occur
almost every might. Aerial torpedoes
to the number of 680 have been
launched from airplanes upon various
parts of the city. As most of the
bells and torpedoes are of the In
cendiary type they have caused enor
mous damage, so that up to the pres
ent 1,200 houses have been destroyed.
When the Cermen, who gallantly
tuck to their posts, have attempted
to extinguish the flames the German
gunners, seeing the glare of the fire
they had caused, have continued to
throw In shells upon the spot, while
at night the German airmen have
circled high over the blaze and
dropped more bombs.
The Cathedral, which posfesses
the finest Gothic nave In existence,
has so far escaped serious damage,
but any moment may see Irrepar
able injury done 'it, as projectiles
continue to fall all around It. The
task of the authorities In getting the
people away when they discovered
the intentions of the Germans to de
stroy the city was a tremendous one,
as the refugees from the devastated
districts had Increased the population
to 120,000, all of whom had to be re
moved from danger within a few days.
The ararngements, however, worked
perfectly and all the people are now
afely housed elsewhere.
All traffic is forbidden to enter the
city bo that the enemy may not be
given ground for declaring the bom
bardment one of military exigency.

NOW IN FRANCE
Secretary Baker Makes First
Official Announcement
WILL SOON BE OVER MILLION
Secretary Baker Is Elated Over What
Has Been Accomplished All
Are Fully Equipped For
. Service.
Washington. More than half a mil
lion American soldiers have been Bent
to France. Secretary Baker author
ized the statement that his forecast
to Congress In January that 500,000
troops would be dispatched to France
early in the present year now bad
been surpassed.
Mr. Baker dictated the following
statement:
"In January I told the Senate com
mittee that there was strong likeli
hood that early In tho present year
600,000 American troops would be dis
patched to France. I cannot either
now or perhaps later discuss the num
ber of American troops in France;
but I am glad to be able to say that
the forecast I 'made has been sur
passed." As a result of a personal Investi
gation of machine-gun production
during the past few days the Secre
tary announced that there Is no pres
ent shortage of light or heavy types
of these weapons either in France or
America, and no shortage is In pros
pect. Mr. Baker said there had been no
question brought up as to the sup
plies of light type Browning guns,
which were coming forward in quan
tities. He would not say whether
shipment of these guns to France bad
been started. As to the heavy Brown
ing, he said: '
"Early manufacturers' estimates as
to the production of the heavy type
perhaps were more optimistic than
was Justified. The estimate of the
Ordnance Department In January has
been met and is being met. Some of
these heavy guns have been produced
and there Is every Indication of forth
coming production increasing and in
substantial numbers.
The Secretary chose his words shout
the troops in France with utmost care.
He would not amplify the statement
In any way and specifically asked that
the press refrain from speculation as
to what precise figures bis guarded
remarks covered or as to what possi
bilities of early further Increase In the
force on the other side there might
be.
There has been repeated official an
nouncements, however, that the gov
ernment Is bending every energy to
rushing men across to bark up the
Allied lines In France and officers di
rectly In charge of the transportation
have expressed satisfaction with the
progress being made. There is no
doubt that the present force of Amer
ican troops there represents only a
small part of the total strength that
will be available for employment by
General Foch before the summer fight
ing ends.
There are Indications, too, that the
War Department has adhered strictly
to Its policy of equipping fully before
his departure every man sent across.
That Is the first consideration In
checking off supplies of clothing and
arms. Mr. Baker's recent study of
the whole ordnance program was
founded on his desire to see just what
the situation was In this slowest ele
ment of the war preparations.
His coneulslnns as to machine guns
follow on the heels of pessimistic
statements by members of Congress
In this regard.' In the dlsrusslon of
the production of Browning machine
guns contracts for other types, both
here and abroad, apparently have
been lost Fluht of. 'These contracts
preceded the placing of orders for
the Brownings and that supply waH
designed to meet the emergency until
the now gun was available In quanti
ties. The present practice of brlgnding
American units with French and
British divisions, it Is pointed out,
makes the artillery question less
pressing as an Immediate Independent
supply.

GREATEST MOTHER ON EARTH
Proclamation Flxtt Week Of May 20
At Red Cross Week, During Which
Efforts Will Be Made To
Raise $100,000,000.
Washington. President Wilson is
sued a proclamation designating the
week beginning May 20 as "lied Cross
Week," and calling upon the American
people to contribute generously to the
second 1100,000,000 wst fund of the
American Bed Cross for the alleviation
of Buffering among the American
troops in France and their dependents
at home and among the fighting forces
and civilian populations of the allied
countries.
The proclamation follows
PROCLAMATION. .
"Inasmuch as the war fund of 1917,
so generously contributed by the
American people to the American Red
Cross for the administration of relief
at home and abroad, baa been prac
tically exhausted by appropriations for
tho welfare of the men in our military
and naval forces, and for those depend
ent upon them, and for the yet more
urgent necessities of our Alliea, mili
tary and civilian, who have long borne
the brunt of war:
"And, Inasmuch as the American
Red Cross has been recognized by law
and International convention as the
public Instrumentality for war relief:
"And, Inasmuch as the year of our
own participation in the war has
brought unprecedented demands on
the patriotism and liberality of our
people and made evident the necessity
of concentrating the work of relief in
one main organization which can re
spond effectively and universally to
the needs of humanity under stress of
war:
"And, Inasmuch as the duration of
the war and the closer and closer co
operation of the American Red Cross
with our own Army and Navy, with
the governments of our Allies, and
with foreign relief organizations have
resulted in the. discovery of new op
portunities of helpfulness under con
ditions which translate opportunity
into duty:
"And, inasmuch as the American
Rod Cross War Council and its com
missioners In Europe have faithfully
and economically administered the
people's trust:
"Now, therefore, by virtue of my
authority as President of the United
States and President of the American
Red Cross, I, Woodrow Wilson, do
hereby proclaim the week beginning
May 20, 1918, as 'Red Cross Week,
during which the people of the United
States will be called upon again to
give generously to the continuation of
the Important work of relieving dis
tress, restoring the waste of war, and
assisting in maintaining the morale of
our own troops and the troops and
peoples of our Allies by the manifesta
tion of effort and sacrifice on the part
of those, who though not privileged to
bear arms, are of one spirit, purpose
and determination with our warriors.

GRAFT CHARGE TO BE AIRED
President Instructs Department Of
Justice To Make Investigation Ai
Result Of Demand By Senate
And Mr. Coffin.
Washington. Talk of graft and mis
management hi the national airplane
construction program, heard for
months la Senate debate and Capitol
lobby gossip, has culminated in a
presidential order for an Investigation
by the Department of Justice. Al
most simultaneously it became known
that Major General Suuier, chief sig
nal officer and until recently In direct
charge of army aviation, had demand
ed a military court of inquiry.
The Whlto House in announcing
President Wilson's action made public
a telegram received from Howard
Coffin, former chairman of the Air
craft Board, urging an official Inquiry,
"that reputations or innocent men
may not be ruined," and a series of
letters and telegrams exchanged be
tween the President and Gutzon Bor
glum, the sculptor, to whom Is at
tributed responsibility for statements
that corruption In the expenditure of
funds and pro-German Intrigue haa
hindered airplane production.
There bho waa a letter written by
the President to Senator Thomas, of
Colorado, a member of the Seriate
Military Committee, assuring him that
every Instrumentality of the Depart
ment of Justice will be used to pur
sue charges of dishonesty or malver
sation of any kind if Mr. Borglum's
allegations are Tound worthy of seri
ous consideration. Senator Thomas
laid before the President last week
assertions made to members of the
committee by the nculptor.
The exact status of Mr. Borglum as
an investigator, which, until now, has
been more or less of a mjBtery to the
public, is cleared up by tho corre
spondence. It develops that after the
sculptor had written to Secretary
Tumulty last November in regard to
alleged defects in the aviation organ
ization and the desirability of having
certain experts called In, the Presi
dent asked him to present his Ideas.
Later, on January 2, the President
wrote a letter to Mr. Borglum asking
him to come to Washingtoa and lay
the matter before the Secretary of
War, and with the aid of a member
of tho Secretary's personal staff dis
cover the facts by personal Investiga
tion. Borglum did this, and on February
1 the President sent a preliminary re
port from him to Secretary Baker
with this note: 'Here Is Mr. Borg
lum's preliminary report. Is there not
someone entirely disconnected from
aeronautic and from those who are
prominent In carrying out the air
plane program whom you can ask to
go over this thing with an unbiased
mind and give us his naive impres
sions of It? There may be something
worthy of our consideration and sug
gestions worthy to be adopted."
On March 29, after an exchange of
'telegrams with Borglum, the President
wrote that he had placed the material
the latter had furnished at the dis
posal of gentlemen to whom he had
committed the task of making a sys
tematic Inquiry Into the whole avia
tion situation. These gentlemen were
the special committee headed by II.
Snowden Marshall, of New York,
whose preliminary report preceded
the recent reorganisation of the Army
Aviation Service and the appointment
of John D. Ryan as director general.

Washington. -- Although American
troops are going over the seas In large
numbers the Drdnance Department
has been ahle to keep up with the
new program and every soldier who
boards a transport Is fully equipped
with arms, the Ordnaneo Bureau an
nounced. Artillery and machine guns already
are in France in sutliclent quantities,
it i said, to meet immediate demands.
The statement said:
"The Army Ordnance Impairment
has thus far met every demand im
posed by the new program for over-
nas shipment of American troops.
"Despite the great acceleration In
t lie sending of American forces to
France, no infantryman goes aboard
ship without a United States model
1917 rifle, "modified Enfield," bayonet,
belt, haversack, pack carriers, bando
leers, bayonet, scabbard and full mess
equipment.
"Tonnage Is today a limiting factor
In the shipment of ordnance material
overseas, especially because of the
present necessity of Increasing the
transport of infantry regiments.
"Sufficient supplies of nrtillery,
French 75 millimeter nnd 155 milli
meter and American heavy railway
artillery are already in France to meet
the present demand.) Sufficient ma

ZEEBRUGGE STILL BLOCKED
Loss To Attackers Reported As Slight;
Allied Armies Gain Ground In
Flanders And At Mont
dldier. London. The German submarine
baBe of Ostend, on the Belgian coast,
has been blocked as the result of a
new raid by British naval forces, the
Admiralty announces. The obsolete
cruiser Vindictive, filled ith con
crete, has been sunk across the en
trance of tho harbor.
The British lost one motor boat
Their casualties were light. The an
nouncement follows:
"Operations designed to close the
ports of Ostend nnd Zeebrugge were
successfully completed when the ob
solete cruiser Vindictive was sunk
between the piers and across the en
trance to Ostend harbor..
Since the attack on Zeebrugge on
April 23, Vindictive had been filled
with concrete and fitted as a block
ship for this purpose.
"Our light forces have returned to
their base with the loss of one motor
launch, which had been damaged nnd
wns sunk by orders of the Vice-Ad;
mlral, to prevent it from falling Into
the hands of the enemy.
"Our casualties were light."
Regarding reports that German sub
marines have been unable to enter
Flemish ports and have had to return
to Germany, Reuters Limited fays it Is
unable to obtain confirmation in naval
quarters.
Photographic and other evidence
from Zeebrugge shows tlint the Bruges
canal Is still entirely blocked as a re
sult of the British raid of April 23
and that it cannot be used. The ob
structions, It has been found, were
better placed than was at first sup
posed. German attempts to clear the
waterway are meeting with no success
as a result of British air activity and
other causes.
U-BOAT TOLL CUT ONE-HALF.
Losses In April, 1917, Twice Those Of
Last Month.
Washington. Official French statls
tics on the submarine warfare re
ceived here In a dispatch from France
show that the total losses of Allied
and neutral ships, Including accidents
at sea, were approximately only one
half as great during April this year
as in April, 1917.
In April last year 634,685 gross tons
were lost, while this April's figures
are 3S1.631. Submarine attacks now
are most costly for the enemy, the
dispatch points out, owing to the fact
that the attackers' are chiefly made
with torpedoes Instead of punflre as
was the ease before merchant ships
were adequately nnd efficiently armed.

Why. then, as a nation, do we booza It?
wnai are an our soldiers numins lor
Indeed. If not, and soon, to win the wart
If food will win, ana If the drinking won t,
'Whv are we aendinff soldiers to the front
And holding fast at home by wine and
beer?
Must we bo on. so. weary year on year?
Yes. "Food will win," we loyally mar
say.
When Food makes manhood stronger, day
by day;
But weakened manhood by the power of
booze, '
And how can men do othea then, than
lose?
VTTilln brewers waste the food which
means our mlKht,
How shnll our soldiers make a winning
flKht?
If beer must be at home the bread of
lire.
Why send our boys abroad, to losing
strife?

souls.

Shall we be cowards thus to see tlu

Because we fear the brewer ana nil
