PRESIDENT WILSON MAKES APPEAL
 TO PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES

fighting for their liberties and fol our own.
 "This, let me say to the middle men of every sort whether they are handling our foodstuffs or our raw materials, manufactures or products of our mills and factories, the eyes of the country will be especially up on you. This is your opportunity for a signal service of efficient and a disinterested country expects you, as it expects all others, to forego the usual profits.
 "To the merchant, let me suggest the motto of small profits and quick service and to the shipbuilder the thought that the life of the war de- pends upon him. Food and war sup. plies must be carried across the seas, no matter how many ships are sent to the bottom. The places of those that go down must be supplied and supplied at once To the miner let me say that he stands where the farmer does. The work of the world waits on him and if he slackens or fails. the armies and the statesmen are helpless. He is also enlisted in the great service of the army. Every one who creates or cultivates gar dens. helps and helps greatly to solve the problem of feeding the na' tions and every housewife who prac- tices strict economy puts herself in the ranks of those who serve the na. tion.
 Tn the hope that this statement will show the needs of the nation and of the world, in this hour of supreme crisis, may it stimulate those to whom it comes and remind all who need reminding of the sol emn duties of a time such at the world has. never seen before.
 'I beg that all editors and publish CTS everywhere will give as promi- nent publication and as wide circu- lations as possible to this appeal. The supreme test of a nation has come, and we must all speak, act and serve together.

BRITISH DEADQUARTERs IN FRANCE, April t6.-The civil popu- Iation evacuated Lens last Friday. The Germans then seized three months rations, gathered in Lens by the American Relief Commission and fighting like men with their backs to the wall they are now making des. perate resistance to the British ad. vance, especially along the von Hin- denburg line from Queant to St. Quentin. This line has been def. niteiy broken between Queant and Arras. Consequently the Germans are attempting to hold the line from Queant southward, realizing that the important town of Queant, ehe switchpoint of the von Hnden. burg line is threatened by the close proximity of the British.
 The Germans early today launched an attack from there over a six-mile front.
 While suffering immediate revers- es everywhere else they managed by concentration of artillery to recap ture Lagnicourt, opposite Queant, which was taken from them several weeks ago. Their victory at this point, however, was short lived, for the British immediately counter at tackled and retook Laonicourt with more than 200 prisoners and catch ing the retreating Germans under intense field gun fire, cut them to bits, thus ending the first real "de- fensive offensive" the Germans have attempted since the battle of Arras began.
 From one end of the British front to the other, the Germans are pal pably nervous and jumpy where they have been driven from the old posi- tions. They are feverishly digging

FIGHTING IN THE OPEN

BRITISH HEADQUARTERs IN France, April 16.-The Germans are fighting as they retire from Loos southward and are being hard press ed. Fires and explosions in the ter. ritory to the rear of the German lines continue. The weather is ia. vorable for campaignining one, and semi-open fighting on the greater part of the British front has repiac- ed the old deep trench fighting. It Is difficult for fighting men to ac- tuaIIy grasp the situation, situa- ton for which they have waited so long.
 The Germans possibly feel the change more than any one else, for above all things they love their un- derground comfort. The Germans were the first to transfer the fighting to, ditches and they are reluctantly giving up that style of warfare. Deep concreted dugouts and tunnels are along the old front were the on- ly protection the Germans had aoainst the ever increasing British gun fire and every time they get an opportunity now they Immediately begin to dig in, and they take to cover as if by second nature.
