Along the entire front in Mace

rian, a distance of about 100 miles,
the allies have opened a great Of
fensive. On every section of the
line General Sarrail's artillery is
roaring day and night, but the
campaign is in its initial phase and
there is little to indicate as yet
where the main attempt at an adj
vance will be made.
Bitter fighting is progressing in
the bend in Cerna river and in the
neighborhood Of the Vardar, the
two points on the Macedonian
front where the barbarous country
and mountain and sterile desert is
broken by fertile valleys. Military
critics are agreed that it is at one
of these valleys the allies must
force a way, but the operations
have not advanced far enough to
indicate which is the chosen point
Of attack.
In France the deadlock contin-

are massing men and gums for
another blow such as that which

HILO, April 3G-The old saying

comfortable throughout the game. At
the outset, the visitors played with
an air of confidence that allowed the
willy home members to get such leg
ON the game that when the soldiers
awakened to the realization of the
situation, all they could do served for
-nought in the "catch-u6 game.
The Great Northern would be un-
able to hold the errors the soldiers
piled up, while the home team played
one Of the niftiest games ever seen in
Hflo. The soldiers lost ground
through substituting their weak
points, but the Japanese had found
their number and nailed their big an
tagonists to the cross in a style which
reflected much credit upon the play
ing prowess> of our home team. The
score stood 5 to O. in favor of the
Japanese team.
The Second Game
There was another very interesting
game played between the Y. NJ. /.
team and the National Guard. This
was in the shape OF a practise game
more than anything else,@ the score
being at the close oGthe eighth inning

new MANAGER Of
PACIFIC LEAGUE

Representative William E. Miles
was elected manager of the Pacific
League at a meeting held last even
ing at the Y. NJ. G. A. Miles has
been a big booster for amateur base
ball for a number of years. and WAS
one OF the men interested in the for
nation OF the league.
Owing to his legislative duties he
has been unable to give large
amount OF his time to baseball. and
the managers of the league held off
the election until such time as Miles
could attend to the many details in
connection with the work.
The selection OF Representative
Miles to this position means much for
the success OF the league, and the
managers are to be complimented on
securing q popular enthusiast who
knows baseball from every angle.
Much of the success Of the st. Louis
team is due to the efforts Of Miles.
At the meeting last evening it was
decided to hold another meeting at
the Y. NJ. CA. at o'clock on Thurs
day evening to arrange for final pre-
partitions for the big opening On Sat
