AMERICA PRAISED.
For Keeping Civilian Population of
Northern France Alive.

/ From a staff correspondent of the As
sociated Press at the French front in
| France, via Paris March 20.-The French
! troops made one of the most significant
advances since the beginning of the wal
Sunday and Monday Along a 60 kilo.
metre front some hundreds of square
kilometres fell again into the hands OF
the French. while the Germans retreat
movement gave no evidence of coming
to halt. This immense tract of recon
quered territory was traversed Monday
by correspondent for the Associated
Press, who found the inhabitants in
many places where they were allowed
to remain by the Germans tesrfully
joyous at the reappearance of their fell
low countrymen coming in as victors.
Among the first words from the women
and children, who had been for 32 months
in the hands of the Germans were ex-
pressions of gratitude to America
Americans have kept us alive; 9TH
erwise we would have died of hunger"
This was absolutely spontaneous, the
stricken people not being aware that an
American correspondent was present.
Signs of a hasty German departure
are visible everywhere and especially in
the villages and towns in the shape of
houses blown in fragments by the ex-
plosion of ncendiary bombs. In the
distance burning villages showed that
the retreat was still progressing.
Supply columns are proceeding in ev-
ery direction following the French pur-
suing troops who keep close on the heels
of the retreating Germans, not allowing
them a moments respite.
At Candor nearly 200 women and chill
dren were left in German hands at the
beginning of the war. The young men
and girls were all carried off to Germany,
their parents even now being ignorant
of their whereabouts Those remaining
were compelled to do all kinds of work
without payment and when for religious
reasons thev refused to work on Sunday
they were fined. Even boys over l3
years of age assert that they were driven
often under fire to dig bitches or small
trenches for military telephone wires. An
schools have been closed since the Ger /
man occupation. The inhabitants as
,ert that the German soldiers told them /
weeks ago that they were about TO re-
.reat as thew were not able 10 withstand /
he constant attacks from the allies on /
an parts of the line and further that 4
.hev were suffering from a shortage Of 4
God supplies. These statements con
irm information that new military 4
works have been under construction for
.ome time past far in the rear Of the
5erman front line.

HIGHEST PAID SOLDIERS

Wellington, New Zealand, March 20
From the fact that New Zealand soldiers
in this war may now be paid up TO SIC
a week above their ordinary wages, i i
asserted in the dominion that they are tht
highest paid soldiers in the world. The
special allowance is for men who can
establish that their civil obligations jus
tify their receiving it. And il Is payable

STATE TROOPS SCATTERING.
Federal Government Changes Order Re-
Gently Promulgated.

Washington, March 20.-War depart
ment officials yesterday rescinded an or.
der under which rehabilitation of many
National Guard units home from the
border had been interrupted with the ap.
parent purpose OF holding the troops in
readiness for any necessary duty in case
OF nation wide railway strike.
Until last night the existence of the
order had been denied at the department
and in finally confirming that it had been
issued officials declined to reveal its pur-
pose. Secretary Baker said, however,
that it had nothing to do with the inter
national situation. 1t was learned later
that it was sent out late Saturday night
at time when the administra tion is
known to have had under consideration
the use of state troops to guard food and
mail trains.
The resembling order was telegraphed
to all department commanders early yes
terday and officials here expect that the
interrupted work of mastering out the
guardsmen viii be resumed today at all
the local camps. Mr.. Baker said the de,
mobilization would not he stopped again

ments and that there had been no dis
position TO hold them under arms because

Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy
late yesterday afternoon, in response to
a question as to what steps the navy
was taking to deal with the German
submarine menace to American lives and
ships.
"The only action thus far taken has
been the placing of armed guards on
American ships" Mr.. Daniels added. mo
further action has been decided on. But
everything that can be done by the navy
will be done. | do not care to discuss
details to-day for state reasons"
President Wilson made another per-
sonal visit to the navy department this
afternoon for a long conference with
Secretary Daniels regarding plans for
putting the navy in position to deal with
the German submarine menace and any
other emergency. The result of the pres
ident's visit was the decision to con
struct Immediately as many fast sub
marines as the ship building facilities OF
the country can turn out without inter
fering with other navy construction, and
to utilize the Sll5,O00000 emergency
fund granted by Congress in the new
naval act of March 3, 1917, in paying
for the construction of these submarine
chasers and for the increased cost OF
speeding up the naval shipbuilding pro-
gram.
