War Summary

Lens and st. Quentin now are al
most within the grasp of the advan-
cling British forces who now hold the
suburban towns of Lievan and Cite ST.
Pierre.
with the French less than a mile
from st. Quentin, Field Marshal Haig's
men followed up their capture OF Fay
ct, mile northwest of the town, by
driving the German defenders back to
within a few hundred yards of st.
Quentin on the north.
There has been violent fighting along
the sectors between Lens and St.
Quentin and everywhere the allies
have either made gains In the German
dcfcnscs or have held back German
attacks. South of Lens and north OF
the River Scarpe the British continue
to plunge forward and have reached
points two miles east of Nimy ridge.
South Of the Scarpc the Germans
have reserves in the fray in an effort
to hold back the oncoming attacks,
and counter attacks came at short in
| tcrvals, but the British maintained the
| captured positions everywhere, London
says.
Northeast of st. Quentin the British
also have captured the village OF Girl
court. n mile north of Fayet. The
British here captured 400 prisoners
from the Germans.
Aerial fighting continues on Il large
scale on the western front and London
reports that Il British machines failed
to return after an engagement with
the Germans behind the German lines.
Four German machines were brought
down and six others were driven down.
Berlin records that the entente lost "A
airplanes on Friday.
South of st. Quentin the French
maintain their destructive fire against
German positions, and the Germans
are replying.
Not only Lens, with its important
coal fields, is at stake in the allies
push. but correspondents at the front
hint at expectations OF the possibility
of greater things. The unrelenting
British pressure Is causing the Ger
mans to abandon guns and other
equipment and apparently there is
hope on the part of the British Of
keeping up the pursuit at such a pace
, that their foe may be caught unpre-
pared at some point and a real break
in the line be effected.
At st. Quentin not so much is at
stake for the Germans. but the loss
of the town would create another Sc
rious breach in the southerly sector OF
their present defensive line.
In Mesopotamia the Turks sustained
another defeat at the hands Of the
British. General Maude, the British
commander. by the employment of
strategy spoiled their hopes Of inflict-
ing blow that could check his fur
ther advance up the Tigris and Diala,
north and east of Bagdad.

FAMOUS why RIDGE
TWO MILES BEHIND
British Rapidly Approaching
DOuai-Cambrai Line,
German Artery.

London, April l4-The British troops
responded to the better weather con-
ditions on the western front today by
still further speeding up their at
tack and the night official communi-
| cation reveals fresh breaches in the
Hindenburg line, which brings tho
British along q wide front much near
er the coveted artery Of German COM
munications running north and south
through Douai and Cambrai.
The British troops on the northern
portion of the big push today captured
Lieven, the southwest suburb OF Lens.
and cite st. Pierre. just northwest
Lens, while on the southern portion
they reached within 400 yards Of ST
Quetin.
The rapidty with which things are
moving in Field Marshal Haig's ter
ritory Is cvinced by the announcement
that Vimy ridge Is already two or three
miles behind the British front line.
The Germans are expected still to put
up a most stubborn fight against the
loss of st. Quentin and Lens. but there
will be no Sunday respite. for the Brit
tsh troops and the artillery may be
counted on to make both cities we'll
nigh untcnable for the enemy.
4 The total number of guns captured
by the British IL now estimated at
more than 200. while large additions to
the roll of prisoners were chroniclcd
today

STATE HAS RIGHT
TO MORE GUARDS
New Units May, Be Organ
lied, but War Department
Advises Adversely.

Washington, April H.-'Against the
Judgment of military experts as to the
wise course in the present emergency,
the war department was compelled to
revise a previous ruling today and
announce that under existing law
states have the right to organize new
units of the national guard. This
opens the door to expan sion of the
existing guard force of about $4,000
men to 100000 at peace strength or
more than 100000 on war footing.
The department had planned to
draft into federal service only exist
ing units of the guard plus such aux-
iliary troops as might be needed.
Twenty states have applied for per-
mission to raise new regiments how.
ever and Secretary Baker ordered a
new study of the national defense act
to determine whether the acceptance
of new units up to the limits set in
the act was mandatory. Judge Ad-
vocate Gen eral Crowder took this view
anu hio iuuAS "do appIoNeu ny TIC
secretary.
Supplies Lacking.
An effort to prevent immediate or
sanization OF new regiments was made
simultaneously, however. The gov
ernors were asked to see that existing
units were filled to peace strength be
fore any new ones were organized
Shortage Of equipment prevents the
immediate acceptance of such new
regiments. as the department has not
had appropriations for reserve sup
plies and it will take from two to
three months to provide for the forces
which may be organized under today's
ruling. There are not enough supplies
units at war strength.
Secretary Baker made it plain ir
communication to Governor Cox ol
Ohio and others that the department
would In no circumstances recognize
skeleton organizations. but would re.
quire reasonably full complement o
officersand men for each new unit.
II the state forces were raised Il
full strength the present total Of more
than 10000 national guard officer,
would have to be expanded to more
than 10000 to provide officers for tn,
full IL national guard divisions con.
templated by the national defense act
The war department has felt disin
clined to add in this way to it's al.
ready heavy burden in finding ant
armies that are to be raised.

President Selects George
Creel, Magazine Writer,
Civilian Chairman.
TO SEE THAT NATION
is WELL INFORMED
Military Secrets to Be Safe
guarded, but All Possible
News Given Out.

| washington. April H.-COntrOl Of
publicity in connection with the gov
ernment war activities was placed by
President Wilson today in the hands
OF a. committee Of public information,
whose task will be to safeguard Sc
| crets OF value to the enemy and at the
| same time to see that all affairs Of the
| nation are laid before the people as
| fully and frankly as possible.
The committee named by the pres.
ident is made up of Secretaries Lam
sing. Baker and Daniels, who recom-
mended the step. with George Creel, a
magazine writer, as civilian chairman.
Announcements OF its creation was
made In the following executive order
made public at the White House:
Presidents Order.
Il hereby create a committe on pub
lie information to be composed of the
secretary of state, the secretary of war
the secretary Of the navy and the CIV
ilian who shall be charged with the
executive direction OF the committee.
AS civilian chairman of the COM
mittee I appoint Mr.. George Creel.
The secretary of state. the secrc-
tary of war and the secretary Of the
navy are authorized each to detail an
officer or officers to the work of the
committee"
Mr.. Creel has accepted his post. The
presidents action was based on the
following letter isgned by the three
cabinet officers:
Dear Mr.. President:
Even though the cooperation Of
the press has been generous and pa
triotic there is steadily developing need
for some authoritative agency to as
sure the publication of all the vital
facts of national defense. Premature
or ill-advsed announcement of poll.
cies, plans and specific activities.
whether innocent or otherwise, would
conStitute source of danger
while there is much that is prop
erly secret in connection with the de-
partments of the government, the to-
tai is small compared to the vast
amount of information that it is right
and proper for the people to have.
Citizens Must Know.
'America's great present needs arc
confidence. enthusiasm and service and
| these needs will not be met complete
ly unless every citizen is given the
feeling of partnership that comes with
full. frank statements concerning the
conduct Of the public business.
1T is our opinion that the two
functions--ccnsorship and publicity
can be joined in honesty and with
profit and VIC recommend the creation
of committee on public information.
The chairman should be civilian, pref
erably some writer of proved courage,
| ability and vision, able to gain the un-
derstanding cooperation of the presss
and at the same time rally the authors
of the country to work of service.
Other members should be the secre-
tary of state. the secretary Of war or
an officer or officers detailed to the
work by them.
1--WE believe you have the undoubtcd
authority to create this committee on
public information without waiting for
further legislation and because of the
Importance OF the task and it's pressing
necessity we trust that you will see fit
to do so''.
