This article presents political and social developments. The Soviet Union is falling under the economic domination of the Central Powers, and fear is expressed among the Allies that this hold will not be loosened unless measures to counteract Germany's influence are taken at once. The long pending renewed blow by the Germans on the western front has not been delivered at this writing, when nearly two months have passed since the initial offensive. Air mail service, for the first time in the history of the world, was regularly inaugurated between Washington, Philadelphia and New York on May 15, 1918.
