LITTLE FIGHTING ON
ANY OF WAR FRONTS

A state OF virtual inaction prevails
on all the war fronts. In only one
theater has there been any fighting
worthy of note. This was in the
Champagne region of France, where
the French, attacking heav-
lily against positions northeast of
Mont Haut where Wednesday night
the Germans i'm violent offensive
had captured trench elements, drove
out the Teutons Thursday and re-es-
tablished their former front in its
entirety.
To the west in the region lying be-
tween scissors and Rheims, there has
been continuation of the spirited
artillery duels on various sectors, not
ably Vauxaillon and Laffaux, and
south of Berry -Bac, the Germans.
for the first time in several months,
carried out a sapping operation. This
which were blown up.
The intensive fighting along the
southern portion of the Austro Ger
man front has apparently entirely
ceased, the Italians probably being
engaged in consolidating positions
won and in bringing up their guns for
further operations in their campaign
against Trieste. Along the Isonzo line
only artillery duels have been in prog
ress owing to bad weather conditions.
There has been renewal of activity
by the Italians in Albania and several
villages in the southern part of this
theater have been taken and held
successfully against counter-attacks
of the Teutohic allies. Eastward, on
the entire Macedonian front artillery
duels are in progress.

Washington, May 31.--While the
legal machinery of the government
was operating today to stamp out agi-
tation against the draft the war de-
partment took up another phase OF
matter dealing with the status OF
Americans now In foreign countries
Secretary Baker called upon Brig
adler General Crowder, judge advo-
cate general and provost marshal gen
eral of the army, for an opinion as to
the effect of the new law upon Ameri-
cans of military age residing abroad
Department officials generally have
presumed that the privileges of citi-
genship would carry a duty for mill
tary service not affected by foreign
residence, but no formal ruling will
be made until the opinion of General
Crowder has been received. The
question involves to some degree the
specific terms of the extradition
treaties between the United States
and other countries.
Eager 10 Enroll.
Many Americans of military age
now abroad have been eager to enroll.
Registration cards have been furnish
ed to every American embassy, lega-
ton or consulate, and diplomatic and
consular officials have been authoriz-
ed to act as registration agents.
Meantime the department of JUS
tice is proceeding on the theory that
the departure from American soil of
any citizen subject to the draft is an
evasion Of the law. steps already
have been taken to prevent such de-
partures and attempts at this form
of evasion will be met by vigorous
measures.
Department officials also will back
up the efforts Of local officials in the
various communities to put a quick
end to agitation against the draft. Ar
rests made during the day through
out the country were in accordance

From a Staff Correspondent of the

mies in France, tvia London, May BID
While comparative quiet continues
TO reign along most of the western
front, the war is far from standing
still. That great macnIne behind the
fighting forces continues to move with
never-resting energy.
Artillery duels break out by day and
night along the various sectors Of the
lcng battle line and there passes now
unnoticed an expenditure of shells
which two years ago would have been
regarded as little short of marvellous
But the game of modern warfare Is
ever a progressive one, and the mira
Gle of today becomes the commonplace
of tomorrow
Trench Raids Common.
The infantry activity lately has been
confined wholly to raids and minor To-
cal 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 are
filled with marauding expeditions.
The Germans appear daily to grow
more nervous and worried by the pres
ent lull. They are watching the Brit
ish with catlike alertness. The slight
tsnlarta- during the night sets their
guns going and many defensive bar
rage curtains have been projected use
lessly in front of the British positions.
Some of their airplanes also are taxi
ing desperate chances in flying low
over the line, endeavoring to keep in
touch with any important movement.
The Enperors Speech.
The German government continues
to fill the air with wireless propagan-
da against the British, virtually ignor
ing all the other allies, including the
United States The trench version in
the Arras district Of Emperor Will
liams recent speech was to the effect
that no British prisoners should be
taken; that the Germans hate all the
English, and IL they could not avoid
taking some prisoners they were to
treat them with the greatest severity.
Emperor william was at Douai and at
Tournai May 23 and made speeches at
both places.
