Refuses to Remain Neutral
Any Longer With United
States Engaged.
CANADIANS CLOSE IN ON LENS
only Mile From Center of the
City; Crack Prussian Guard
Yields Before Attack.
By Associated Press

brhzll Is no longer a neutral I'm tho
world war and the German empire
mas another enemy arrayed against II.
Having revoked its policy of aloof-
ness, SO far as it affected the HOSTILE
ties between the United States and
Germany now 1t has come definitely
INTO the open and announced that IL
can no longer be considered neutral
In the war between the entente and
Germany.
Altho no announcement has been
made MS to whether the South Ameri-
can republic Will actually enter into
hostlllties by its revocation OF neu-
trallty, II definitely aligns itself NOR
ally on the side OF the United States
and the entente.
Canadian Successes Continue.
Tho Canadians have taken another
hack at the German line protecting
Lens and have been rewarded with
IA further encroachment upon their
objective.
Striking on n two-mle front south
| OF Lens, the Canadians from Nova
Scotia, central ontario. Manitoba
and British Columbia protected by
effective curtain fires, stormed ald
captured German flrSt line positions
before Avion and also the village OF
LeauNette. They defeated in their
onslaughts men of the crack Prussian
guard and the fifth grenadier guards,
whose machine gun and rifle fire and
uncut wire entanglements could not
stay them.
Fall OF Lens Imminent.
When the battle ended and the
Canadians began their work on con-
solidatng the newly won positions
| their line mad been extended to within
| one mile of center of Lens, the fnll OF
which under such tenacious assaults
as recently have been made seemingly
+, cannot be delayed longer.
On the remainder OF the front In
| France there have been only bombard-
ments between the French and the
| Germans. In Belgium the Germans
are carrying out heavy bombardments
OF French ard Belgian positions az
numerous points from the sea SOUTH
ward. In attacks south Of st. Georges
the Germans entered French trenches,
fering heavy casualties
Only minor operations are in prog
ress on the other fronts.
| on the Russian front the fighting Is
still spirited in Galicia. In tho
Austro-Itallan zone infantry attacks
| have again ceased for the moment and
only artillery duels are taking place.
| Patrol engagements and artillery duels
continue to feature the fighting In
| Macedonia.

WAGE WAR
ON BRIGHT LIGHTS
Fifty-seven Motorists Arrested
in First Three Hours of
Police Campaign.

Fifty-seven motorists were arrested
during the first three hours of city
wide campaign against motorists driV-
ing cars without DINNERS. the cam
paign getting under way at o'clock
last evening and continuing until well
after midnight. At IL o'clock. three
hours after the traffic policemen had
been instructed and were in action,
81 autoists had been booked at the
police station and their bonds fixed at
from $5 to SIS.
Comes as Surprise.
Without warning traffic officers ap-
peared at the principal corners in
the business district making whole
sale arrests. Main street was clogged
for blocks in either direction when
the procession of cars was stopped,
while arrests were being made.
But little confusion resulted and all
arrested. with but two exceptions,
took the action of the police good ma
turedly. One man was inclined to-
ward argument and was escorted Ia
the police station with considerable
difficulty a woman also took her
arrest with bad grace but at length
realizing the futility of further argu-
ment, accompanied the officer.
1t was announced at the police sta
ton early this morning that this was
only the beginning OF a campaign
against bright lights that will be pur-
sued diligently every night. No ex'
cuses are to be accepted where car!
are found unequipped with DINNERS
and It is believed the municipal cour
will lend its aid to the campaign II
that fines will be imposed where 1t /.
shown lights were brighter than per.
mitted by the municipal traffic regu-
lations
While but little attention was giver
to the residence districts last night. al
least two policemen will be detailed
to patrol those districts, beginning to-
night, police heads working on the
theory that some motorists may be in
clined to pay but scant attention &c

played at Merton, the work began And
When the time came TO reSOd the green II
was found there was not enough TO cover

the extra turf? Right out Of the rough

pertinent this would seem 10 the uninitiated

the fairway is as good. IL not better than
a lot Of the putting greens Of the smaller
clubs. And In less than thrcet weeks the
green was ready to be played on; but be-
cause Il was needed for the amateur cham
pionship II was decided not to open il for
play until the latest possible moment
Work Is Finished
The same thing was done in the case of
the seventeenth green on the east course,
which was enlarged shortly before the tour
nament began, and when the amateur
cracks came here from all over the country
no one could have possibly known that the
greens had been replanted.
This spring the work Of transplantlng the
sixth green was finished. The work Of
building the green was done last fall but
the winter stopped IT, so the turfing Of 1t
had to go over until this spring Yet two
weeks after the turf was I'm place the green
was being used by the players. And Flynn
got this turf ont Of the rough. And it ccr-
taiuly was very fine stuff
Several Of the greens at Huntingdon Val
ley have been built of turf taken from the
fairway, and two of these were built shortly
before tho LynnewOod Han Cup tourna-
ment there last year. Huntingdon Valley
was one Of the very first golf courses in this
section Of the country to returf the greens
Take the seventh green at Phllmont. The
turf was put on the latter part of the fall
frozen.
Yet despite this unusual and unfavorable
condition the green, while it is not yet the
best on the course, promises TO be as good
as any In all, three of these greens were
transplanted last fall and they are all in
