RULE FOR IRELAND 1$ AIDED Washington. The Irish home ruls question has been discussed at the conferences between members of the British commission and American gov ernment officials. The subject is a most delicate one and the United States has no intention of Beeking to surest even informally an opinion on the conduct of Great Britain's af fairs. However, the subject has arisen ! and American officials have frankly told members of the British commis eion that a strong element in the United Slates believes that real friend ship between the two nations would be greatly strengthened by a satis factory settlement of the Irish prob lem. It is generally accepted that the present offers a favorable opportunity for settling the question. The inter est in it here is great, not only be cause of the large number of citizens of Irish birth or descent, but because of the strong feeling that no nation with which the United' States Is Join ing forces should have unsettled a question involving the right of self-government. London. Id fighting that for Inten sity and separation equated any of tk conflicts ot two and a bfrlf years at the great war, British forces had ap parently turned the first ot Germany's great defense lines of the famous "Hlndenburg front" and part ot Oppy, pivotal point of this defense sector, was in British hands. The towa lies six miles northeast of Arras. All of Arleux, a mile north of Oppy, bad been taken. Both positions were centers for Ger man counter attacks that for shear violence surpassed any recent fight ing on the western front The British thrust is toward Doual, northern pivot point ot the Hlndaa burg line. To stop It, Field Marshal I Hindenburg Is recklessly throwing thousands of his troopers In massed attack. Every word from the froat emphasized the enormous total of th German losses. Dispatches now Indicate that Ger many is opposing the Franco-British advance with forces superior to the attacking armies. And still these di visions do no more than slow up the advance. It Is evident that the whole strength of the French and British at tacking armies was being made ready for another bolt to be hurled at the German line In a resumption of the concerted offeislve. AMERICAN WAR BRIEFS The total recruiting for the army In April was 40,258. The enlisted strength of the navy now has reached 86,326, within less 1 than 700 of the full war quota now authorized. The labor department has enlisted the aid of all the states in organizing j.its army of a million boys for work on I the country s farms this summer. I The German lir.ers Portonia and i Clara Mennig, at New York, hava been turned over by the American govern ment for use of the entente allies. All reserve officers of infantry, cav alry, field artillery and coast artillery I will be ordered into active" service at j once, the war department announced, j Lieutenant Thomas, U. S. N., lost I his life by the sinking by a torpedo of j the oil tanker Vacuum. Twenty-seven men were saved from a total of 45 . aboard the vessel. Mayor Thompson refused to invite j General Joffre and members of the j French commission to Chicago, partly ! on the ground that the city's large German population might not approve such an invitation. j The administration's food control legislation has been introduced In ' both housas of congress. The legls O lation calls for an immediate survey )A of the country's "food resources and sv confers power upon the department V to prevent speculation and price man-ipulation. ft 1,300,000 Germans Have Died In War. Amsterdam, via London. Joseph Friedrlch Naunann, formerly a Con servative member of the reichstag, lecturing on the "Influence of the War on Population," said In part: "Until now the war has caused a loss of 1,300,000 dead. This, together with the decrease in births, gives a reduction of 3,800,000. The surplus of females has increased from 800.000 to M far more than 2,000,000." RAID ON STOCK -MARKET PLANNED New York. Intention to destroy J, P. Morgan's office, tap telegraph trunk lines between Chicago, Wash ington and New York, send out falsa reports of President Wilson's assas sination and U-boat raids on the At lantic coast, and then disrupt wires to prevent denial, all to affect the stock market for speculative benefit, was the ambitious plot confessed, the police declare, by Wolf Hirscb. sad George Meyringer, two Germans ar rested and charged with having a pic ric acid bomb In their possession. The men were employed at Roosevelt hos pital. Hlrsch, the pollco assert, besides be ing a chemist, is a former Oermaa secret service officer and a reserve petty officer In the submarine division of the German navy, while Meyttnier, who was a kitchen man in the hos pital, Is an expert telegrapher and t student of finance. ONLY 6 SUBMARINES LOST German Naval Chief Says England Will Ask for Peace. Amsterdam, via London. Accord ing to the statement regarding sub marine warfare made to the reichstag main committee by Vice Admiral voa Capelle, minister of the navy, the Ger mans in the first two months ot en restricted submarine operations lest only six U-boats, a number which la the same period was surpassed sever al times by new construction. Dwelling on the submarine cam paign, the admiral said neither the British nor their allies dare publish the names and tonnages ot ships sunk. The minister expressed the opinion that the day was not far off when Great Britain must declare her readi ness to enter Into peace negotiations. Existence of France, Britain, Menaced Washington. Secretary Lane told the governors conferring here with the council of national defense that the federal government had heard 400,000 tons of shipping had been sunk in the last week by German subma rines. The destruction. Secretary j Lane said, was not only threatening the existence of England and France, ' but was alarming the United States. ' II Rate Increase on Northwest Timber. Washington.

U-BOAT TOLL 1,600,000 TONS German Puts British Tonnage New at 7,000,000. Amsterdam, via London. In the first two months of unrestricted sub marine warfare more than 1,(00.000 tons of shipping was sunk by the Ger mans, Dr, Karl Helfferieh, German secretary of the interior, told the Reichstag main committee. He as serted that the submarine campaign was proving a great success. "From our figures one may estimate the total tonnage still available tor British trade at 7,000,000 to 10.000.e00. It is clear the British merchant fleet cannot long bear sinking at the pres ent rate. Adequate substitutions by new construction are impossible." Bomb Dropped en Dutch Town, London.
