The Desire is to Break the British Front---The German Submarines Are Seeking to Sink Everything Within Their Power---Driving Hard At All Points. (Special to the Whig. London, June 5--With every resource at his com- mand, the Kaiser is to-day striking his mightiest blows against the ring of enemies encircling his empire. A powerful German offensive has been launched against the British at Ypres. From the region of Hooge, the Teutons have renewed the bombardment of the old Flanders town, preparatory to a grand assault, and an at- tempt to break the British front. German submarines are combing the waters of Von Tirpitz's "war zone," sinking everything within their power, : 'o In Galicia, General Mackensen is pressing on in a desperate attempt to crush the Russians and drive them out of Galicia by rapid, hammering strokes. In Russian Courland, in southeastern Poland, north of Arras, and at several other sectors of their double battlefront, the Germans are driving hard against the enemy's positions. All reports to the British Government indicate that conlitions inside the \ierman empire are rapidly growing worse. Authorities are reported to be taking drastic means to conserve the nation's food supply until another eop is harvested. The blockade of the German coast apparently has met with success. Confronted with these conditions, the Kaiser is reported to have erdired a desperate attempt to we overwhelm the Allies by a series of great rushes before the end of June. at MONEY MADE AFRAID.
