War Not Standing Still.

From STAFF Correspondent of the Associated Press
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE. via London. May 31.--while
comparative quiet continues to reign
along most Of the western front, the
war is Tar from standing STILL. That
great machine behind the. fightins
forces continues to move with never
resting energy. (
The infantry activity lately has been
confined wholly to raids and minor local
attacks. These are conducted mainly
for the purpose of keeping in touch with
the enemy's movements and intentions
Both the British and Germans have
adopted these tactics. and the few hours
of darkness lately are filled with trench
marauding expeditions.
The Germans appear daily to grow
more nervous and worried by the present
lun. They are watching the British with
catlike alertness The slightest alarm
during the night sets their guns going
and many defensive barrage curtains
have been projected uselessly in front
of the British positions. Some of their
airplanes also are taking desperate
| chances in flying low over the line, en-
deavoring to keep in touch with any i'm
portant movement.
To Take No British Prisoners.
The German government continues to
| fill the air with wireless propaeanda
against the British, virtually ignoring
all the other aliieS. fnclud1ng the United
| States The trench version in the Arras
district of Emperor Williams recent
| speech was to the effect that no British
prisoners should be taken; that the Ger.
mans should hate all the English, and

prisoners they were to treat them with
the greatest severity. Emperor William

ward movement in April Artillery
duels continue increasingly at all
points on the front, occasionally inter-
mingled with local infantry combats, in
which short stretches of trench some
times change hands. Thus far the
French always have regained any posi-
tions taken from them. and at some
places have bitten farther into the Ger
man lines.
The Germans are showing great nerv-
BUSINESS as to what is about to happen.
and the slightest movement in the
French lines calls forth a hurricane
OF artillery and machine gun fire. The
absolute confidence Of the French in
their superiority Is seen in the man
ner In which they move over interven-
ing ground between the lines when or
dered to attack. The tactics now en-
ployed permit them to attack with
minimum losses.
