reaching. important and sweeping
success of the battle of Arras is being
revealed in successive chapters to the
British public, which hardly realizes
yet that it is the most effectual and
decisive event to take the credit of the
British army during the war. 1t may

invasion directed against Paris, and
may prove the turning point of the
whole war in the west and change
the balance of the world war.
Field Marshal Haig's bulletin to-
night, giving the number of guns cap
tured as 166 and the aggregate of
prisoners as 1900, and the details
of new territory gained for France

Arras as a great victory. But the sig

the Mexican army of the north as pur-
chasing agent, and whose name is said
to be Gottwald, is also reported to
have been interned here pending an
investigation of his connection with
an ammunition deal on the American
side of the border.
German who was arrested near
Pecos, Tex, for having maps and blue =
prints in his possession, has been
taken from the brick guardhouse here
and placed in the stockade. 1t was
thought at one time he was high
official of the German government,
but it Is now believed he had no con-
nection with any German officials in
the United States.
The two strange Germans who we're
arrested by the military guards at
Elephant Butte dam in New Mexico

Washington, April 13.--Means of
quickly putting additional vessels into
the transatlantic trade and thus full
filling the prophecy of Premier Lloyd
George of Great Britain that more
ship meant victory for the entente al
lies, was the principal subject before
today's meeting of President Wilson's s
cabinet.
As a result bill will be introduced
in congress, probably Monday, sub
stantially increasing the $4,000, 600
appropriation now available for the
board and giving the board
additional authority so that the build
ing of wooden ships and the acquisi-
tion of other vessels may be expedited.
Legislation also probably will be
proposed to empower the shipping
board to take over the German mer-
chantmen in American ports which
are in the custody of the treasury de-
partment. While it Is conceded that
