ALLIES LIFT GREEK BLOCKADE
Entente Ministers Return to Athens
First Wheat Admitted.

Athens, Mar. 21.-The ministers to
Greece of the entente nations have
again taken up their residence here.
The discharge of cargo of wheat
destined for Piraeus began. The ad.
mission of wheat to Greece indicates
the lifting of the blockade which has
been in effect for several weeks.
The Greeks made repeated represen.
tations that widespread suffering was
being caused by the shutting of OF
food supplies. The entente replied
that blockade would be lifted when
Greece had transferred the army to
lower Greece and disbanded the re.
servists, removing the possibility Of
an attack by Greek troops on the rear
of the allied forces in Macedonia.

Washington, Mar. 21.-The note to
General Carranza, declining his pro-

to Europe by cutting off exports of
supplies to belligerents. was made
public at the state department.
The refusal was based, first on the
apparent hopelessness of peace at the
present time as shown in the futility
Of President Wilson's efforts and Ger
many's attempts to embroil Mexico
and Japan in war with this country
and in the belief that any restriction
of commerce with the belligerents
would in effect be an unneutral dis
elimination.

Hines, chairman Of the committee of
railroad counsel in the Adamson law
test case, commenting on the supreme
court decision, asserted it's outstand-

railroad trainmen are engaged in

ment can compel arbitration to frus-
trate interruption of that service by a
strike.
Mr.. Hines pointed out that the rail
roads have been reminded by many
court decisions that their rights were
subordinate to the rights of society

New York, Mar. 21.-The German
retreat in northern France is includ-
ing the entire area between Arras and
scissors back, at least, as far as Saint
Quentin. If it halts at San Quentin the
line will have fallen back nearly thir-
ty miles.
The pursuit is hampered by every
device known to military engineers.
Bridges have been blown up and road
ways rendered as nearly impossible
as fallen trees, mine craters, etc., can
make them. BY this means and thanks
to the good start secured through sue
cess in concealing the movements, the
main German forces have been moved
back without any fighting.
The French have taken the town of
Ham and marched on toward San
Quentin. The British advanced through
Bapaume and pushed on several miles
beyond toward Cambria.
The consensus of military opinion
Is that the new line selected for Ger
man defense will run through Lille,
Cambria, st. Quentin, Loan and La
Fere. This might be called the Hin
denburg line since there can be no
doubt that the master strategist has
dictated the whole movement. Ba-
paume and Peronne, the principal tar
gets of the allied attack last year,
were only country towns which be-
came important because they were
the chief points in back of the Sec
tors involved in the attacks. The
cities on the "Hindenburg line" are
all important places and IL it becomes
necessary to fight the Germans on
that line the bombardments will de-
stroy French property Of great value.
If the allies fail to overtake the re-
treat in time to force battle in the
open, which now seems impossible,
the Germans will occupy position of
decided superiority for some time to
come.
Claims Retreat FoiIs Allies.
Berlin, Mar. 21.--The German eyacu.
alton of Bapaume, Roye, Noyon and
Peronne is but a part of a great
strategic undertaking which promises
to revolutionize warfare on the entire
western front and constitute one of
the most decisive moves in the war.
Just as a month ago the Germans
evacuated an important sector on the
Ancre, but kept the fact secret for a
week while the British bombarded the
empty trenches, SO the days report
shows the most important develop.
ment Of 1917 on any front.
Great Work of Destruction.
The sector including the evacuated
cities virtually covers the great Som.
me battle front. Reports from this sec.
ton of the front tell of effective work
of destruction carried out before the
occupied land was given back to the
French and the British, so that it will
avail them nothing as captured soil
according to views expressed here.
Foils Allies Offensive.
1.-THE giving up of this portion of our
front puts an end to all the enemy's
finely laid spring offensive plans p
said a high German military author.
ity. Ever since November hundreds
of thousands of men have been at
work %iilding trenches, munition de.
pots, railroads and cable lines to pre-.
pare for the biggest spring offensive
of the war. Now, at one blow, all that
is gone for nothing. In the face OF our
withdrawal all this is useless"
