BRITISH LAUNCH THE
FIRST SPRING DRIVE
HAIGS MEN SCORE ONE
GREAT SUCCESS.
Strongly Fortified Position Falls
Before Great Charge Made
by English Troops.

What seemingly is the commence
ment of big offensive by the Brit
fsh forces in France has begun along
la Is mile line extending from Lens
TO the village of Henin-sur-Cojeul,
1ying to the southeast of Arras.
On the entire line big gains in ter
rain have been everywhere made.
Heavy casualties have been inflicted
on the Germans and in addition pris-
oners running into the thousands--
5,S16 already have been counted
and great quantities OF war material
were captured The operations are
still in progress. The British cas-
ualties are declared to have been
slight.
Probably the greatest gains were
made on a IL mile front from Gil
Ivenchy-en-Gohelle, north Of Arras, to
Henin-sur-Cojeul, southeast OF Ar
ras. Here defenses of all kinds,
some Of them most heavily fortified
were stormed and captured by the
Canadians. Notable among the posi-
tions is the famous Vimy ridge, which
frequently has been the center OF
|sanguinary encounters.
The German line was penetrated to
a depth Of from two to three miles
during Monday and at nightfall King
Georges men were still pressing for
ward. :
The element OF surprise evidently
played a prominent part in the Brit
ish victory for along the entire front
recently there had beer nothing
more than small encounters and ar
tillery duels. The thrust OF the Brit
ish vas quick and violent, gauged by
the rapid sweep they made against
positions that previously had been
considered almost impregnable The
Canadians captured 1000 prisoners.
The artillery preparation before tn.
infantry attacks were launched is de-
scribed as resembling a veritable in
ferno.
Not content with their successes
between Lens and Henin-sur-Cojeul,
the British also struck viciously in
the region Of Cambria, where tho
village of Memicourt was captured
and further progress was made in
the neighborhood OF the Havincourt
wood, while still farther south addi-
tional gains were made around ST.
Quentin.
The intense aerial activity con-
tinues between the British and Ger
mans. London reports that two Ger
man machines were destroyed and Is
Others driven down and that the
British c'rDlaNes failed 10 return 20
their base
On the part Of the line held by the
French there has been only artillery
activity except in the Parroy wood
where a German attack against an
advanced post was repulsed
Rheims is still being heavily bonn
ba arded by the Germans
Only minor operations have taken
place on the Eastern front from the
Baltic sea down into Roumania. The
usual bombardments are in progress
on the AustroItalian front. In Mace
donia there have been reciprocal
bombardments and small infantry at
tacks.
Unofficial advices from Brazil in
dicate that Brazil is on the imme-
date verge of severng relations
with Germany as a result OF the sink
ing of the Brazilian steamer Parana.

WESTERN NATIONS TO
Join IN WORLD WAR
OTHERS MAY FOLLOW THE
CUBAN EXAMPLE.
Brazil Is Expected to Take Lead
With Several Others Soon
to Follow.

Washington, April 8.-Early en-
trance Of several OF the South and
Central American nations into the
war against Germany Is regarded here
as practically certain. Brazil. arous-
ed by the sinking Of her steamship
Parana. is expected to become a bel
Iligerent this week and 1t is assumed
that her lead will be followed
promptly by other countries.
Reports Of divided opinion in Ar
gentina have given officials here lit
tie encouragement to look for ag-
gressive action by that country.
Active support of the United States
by at least two of the FIVE Central
American republics and possibly by
four would not be surprising. OFF,
cial and unoficial reports that Es.
trada Cabrera, president of Guate-
mala, is contemplating seriously a
break with Germany, have been re-
|ceived.
SO long as Mexico's course is un-
defined unusual interest is attached
to the position OF the Central Ameri-
can governments. especially that of
Guatemala, controlling the southern
frontier of Mexico. In the event of
the development Of an unfriendly sit
uation in Mexico. 1t Is realized that
|Guatamala's role would be far from
|unimportant.
Has q Good Army.
In Guatemala Estrada Cabrera has
built what is regarded generally as
the most efficient army in Central
America and with It he would be
in position to lend valuable assis-
tance to the United States. Antipathy
betW cen Gautemalans and Mexicans
there has existed for years. Efforts
have been made by councillors of
Cabrera to induce him to enter
promptly into the war. II he does
place his country in the list 1t is ex-
pected that Nicaragua will quickly
follow and that the long standing diff
ferences between those two countries
and Salvador and Honduras may be
swept away in desire to present
united Central America.
An odd situation would be left in
the position Of Costa Rica
There a new government has just
been installed and has apparently no
opportunity OF recognition by the
United States. Federico Tinoco, who
over threw the government of AL
fredo Gonzales in January, was elect
ed president on April 1.
Oficial notification of his election
was received at the state department
yesterday. The country Is at peace
but prior. to the election and imme-
diately after the overthrow Of Con.
zales the United States government
announced that 1t would not recog-
nize the de facto government and
would not recognize Tinoco IL elected.
Watch Mexico Closely.
American officials continue to
watch closely every move in Mexico
but little real anxiety remains. 1t is
believed now that German machina-
tions in that country have failed and
that the worst that may be expected
Is a declaration of neutrality.
Investigation by officers OF the
American army showed the reports
of German reservists crossing from
the United States into Mexico have
been exaggerated and that the total
number crossing the Rio Grande
since the breaking of relations with
Germany up to ten days ago was not
more than 100.
