With the British Armies in France.
(via Londan, April 3, 10;40 p. m.)
Tho war on the western front, which
has been moving more rapidly IN tho
last five weeks, broke into full swing
today. Widening the attacks that
they have been directing against the
retroating Germans in the sector OF
the Somme, the British struck still
further north and in q series of as
saults on broad front, with Arras
more or less the pivotal point, they
drove the Germans from scores OF
important positions, penetrating FAR
into the German lines, and inflicted
heavy casualties.
A visit to corps headquarters this
afternoon indicated that the number
of prisoners taken in the last twelve
hours will exceed five thousand. Tho
barbed wire cages or compounds
built to receive prisoners that were en-
pected to be taken were overcrowded
long before noon, although the princi-
pal attack did not begin until shortly
after dawn.
Famous Vmy Ridge Taken.
The heaviest fighting today devel-
oped along line a few miles south
east of Arras in a northerly direction
to the neighborhood of Lens, but the
actions extended far in the direction
of st. Quentin. In the territory cap
tured today was the famous Vimy
ridge which had been fought over
time and time again ever since the
war was ten months old. The French
had fought desperately and valiantly
in an endeavor to wrest this vantage
ground from the Germans, the bat
ties costing both belligerents untold
casualties. Back of the northern end
of Vimy ridge lie the principal coal
fields of France which are still in
| German hands.
Canadians Make Record.
The fighting on Vimy ridge was car
| red out by the Canadians, who had
/ retained a footing on the ridge all
/ winter, but always higher up was the
enemy. ON either side of the Canad-
ians were English and Scottish battal-
| ions and in today's battle there was
glory enough for all. The irrepres-
sble "tanks1 also shared in the
| honors.
The German defensive barrage or
curtain fire, was slow in starting
notwithstanding frantic signals for
help sent up with rockets all along
the line. British guns had been ham
mering the Germans night and day
for week past and most OF their
! trenches were fairly pulverized.
No estimate of the prisoners taken
is yet available. Those captured we're
I mostly Bavarians, Wurttembergers
and Hamburgers.
\ Weather Changes.
After n beautiful and warm Easter
Sunday the weather changed last
n night and today's attack was carried
out in 4 pelting rain driven before a
gale in which was the sting of JAM

VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENT
DECLARED UNRELIABLE

Washington, April 9.-Secretary Ba-
ker. Major General Scott and Judge
Advocate Crowder testified today be-
fore the house military committee on
technical details of the bill for raising
the army up to 100000 men by Sc
lective conscription.
The opposition to conscription with
in the committee is based on the view
that the volunteer system first should
be exhausted. Some members believe
an adequate army can be raised by
calling for volunteers. Secretary Ba-
ker and army officers believe volun-
tary enlistment cannot be relied upon
to meet the emergency.
