tive Oponion here l am convinced that they have not greatly main tained the one paramount obstacle to peace which is the continuance in existence Of the Teuton armies. HINDENBURG MAY SAVE ARMY.
 Between the present line-Cam- brai-St Quentin-Loan-an the Rhine there is another strong in termediate position resting on Os- tend Con the coast) and Etain (north of Verdum.
 Although none of the experts pretends to any clear vision as to the forthcoming military opera tions, it is deemed possible that Hindcnburg, after resisting on the present. line for several months, will with his considerable artillery be able to retire to the Mouse line without sustaining disaster. Evcn7 tually he might be able to reach the Rhine with his armies virtually intact, though greatly weakened, if the Entente leaders are able to maintain the terrific pressure which they brought to bear on the Somme front.
 Once the German armies are driv- en back on to Germann soil, even though not smashed and routed, it is believed the Entente statesmen will consider that sufficient ar gUment against militarism and crushing armaments will have been supplied to the German people to make possible a peace that will guarantee tranquility to Europe for many years.
 There is one other current of opinion to be noticed, which has been considerably strengthened by the Russian revolution. It is that which expects the war to end by a sudden collapse of Germany.
 It is not based on very convinc- ing evidence, but on a widespread intuition that the tension has reached the snapping point in Ger many, and that within a few months, perhaps Q few weeks, her mighty armed belt will cave in under one hard squeeze, like the shell of rotten nut.

ARKANSAS CUARS
 FIRE ON INTRUDER
Eight Shots Fired After Prowler Around State House-Build-
 ing Is Arsenal.

Little Rock, April Members of the state guard on duty at the state capitol fired eight shots at an unknown intruder last midnight.
 The man approached the build ing from the west side, and was going toward the military depart ment. He was ordered to halt by Charles Griffin, sentinel. NO at- tention was paid to the order, but when ordered the second time, ac- cording to miltiamen, the intruder turned and fled, running north. Griffin on sentinel duty on the west side of the building, opened fire at the fleeing man, and the shots attracted Joseph Levy sentl- nel on the north side of the build ing. The two guardsmen fired eight shots at the man as he disappeared in the darkness. The capitol also contains the state arsenal.
 An important announcement reia- tive to status of militiamen who fall to pass the physical examination was made today. The men unable to pass the examination will be mus tered into the federal service, tnelr status remaining the same as those men passing. After being mustered in they will be given discharges and furnished with transportation to their homes.
 Eleven men of Company E failed in medical examinations today. Sev- eral, on second examination, may be passed, however, on waivers granted on slight physical defects.
 Orders have been received 6y militia officials to dismantle and seal all amateur wireless plants of the state which already have not been dismantled.

GERMANY FAR
 FROM BEATEN
(By c. F. Bertelli, Staff Correspon-
 dent N. Y. American.)

dent N. Y. American
 Paris, March 23 (By MaiD.- Back of the intense satisfaction of and the recovery of a large slice of occupied territory is the conscious ness that Hinderberg's move is in the last analysis only a short step ill the direction of peace.
 The gain to the Entente Allies is solely one of territory. Vastly viewpoint of the whittling down of Germany's bargaining power for peace, it does not at this moment appear to have weakened the Ger man war machine. On the contrary, if the new Hindenburg line turns out to be as strong as it is thought to be, the Kaisers armies will ben eft by an accession of strength.
 None the less, it is the general opinion here that this menace can be met without difficulty, in view of the facts that the retreat has not gone far enough to give Hin denburg many extra divisions for a big drive, and that the Entente AL lies preponderance of reserves and artillery is unimpaired.
 Not the slightest doubt exists lin diplomatic circles in Paris that at the moment the Kaiser was of fering peace last December and the German press uttering warnings to the allies that they would only get worse terms by delaying the compromise, Hindenburg was fev- erishly rushing the preparations for a retirement which had to be made before General Vivello and Gen eral Haig were ready to smash through the Somme lines with one gigantic stroke.
 If that offer were renewed in the same way tomorrow, it would have still less chance of acceptance, be- cause the five great events of the first three months of 1917 have been vastly detrimental to Ger many and her peace prospects, and there is every reason to believe that the scales will continue to dip against her as the year goes on. FIVE FACTORS WEAKEN KAISER These five factors, which have greatly weakened Germany in the most critical stage of the war, are: l. The expected declaration of war on Germayn by the United States.
 9 The submarine blockade has mot fulfilled the hopes of the i'm perial government. While it has failed to drive CT 'ente and neutral commerce from the seas, it has brought Germany two new enc mies-the United States and China. Cuba has aligned herself against Germany also since this story was written, as well as Brazil.
 3. The British occupation of BaSudu Has uedlI uedlu DlOW& lO German aims in Mesopotamia. 4. The Russian revolution has eliminated the most important pro German clements.
 5, The retreat on the western front constitutes a tacit German acknowledgement that the balance of strength in this area. has been passed to the side of France and Great Britain.
 All these five factors have swoll- en the overfowing peace tide. But after carefully testing authorita-
