SMITH FAMILY LEAD IN RANKS
OF u. s. ARMY AND NAVY

ATLANTA, Ca, May 3.-Do you be-
long to the Smith family? If so your
kindred are the most widely repre-
sented family in the ranks of Uncle
Sans Army and Navy, according to
statistics recently compiled and
shown by recruiting officers here.
The Tommy Atkins" of British
fame would be Frank Smith" If
American soldiers were ever given a
name title, for out of the 1000 Smiths
now serving their nations flag, there
are 1S1 Franks, as against 165
Johns and 100 each of Charles and
Williams.
Murphys take the lead among those
OF Irish descent, with 322 and though
the Hebrews have never been fam
Gus for military genius since the
days of the Maccabees, the Cohens
are patrioticly to the forefront with
1872 soldiers and sailors.

BRITISH OPEN UP
HOLES IN LINES
Of THE GERMANS

NEW YORK, May 3.-(Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables during the day New breeches
are being made in the already badly
battered German line on the Arras
battlefield by heavy British assault
launched along a twelve-mile front
this morning. The first official reports
announce number of strong German
positions have already been captured,
while unofficial accounts specify that
tie British also made progress to-
wards Fresnoy. which seems likely to
force the Germans to speedily evacuate
the town of Oppy, also that the Brit
ish advanced towards Cherisy and in
the Bullecourt region, which is south
of the river Sensee.
The French are not pressing ahead
on any wide front, but are giving the
Germans no rest. They are employ
ing artillery vigorously and captures
o. strong positions in the Champagne
region last night are reported

NORWAY MAY PUT
HER CAUSE WITH
kA|5ER'S ENEMY

NEW YORK, May 3.-(Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables during the day)-Brazil has
now been drawn one step nearer war
with Germany and is one of three
countries lowering on the brink of the
maelstrom which has convulsed two
thirds of the whole world already.
Norway and China are the other two
nations which may shortly be added TO
Germany's ever-lengthening list of
enemies.
DR.. Lauro Muller, the Brazilian for
eign minister. rendered his resigna-
ton on the eve of the day set for the
Brazilian congress to determine
whether to declare war, and at the
same time President Braz, learning
that German authorities had detained
the Brazilian minister in that country,
ordered that the German minister to
Erazil be stopped en- route to Uru-
quay Muller had persistently attacked
the presidents program as an impos-
sibility.
The probability of Norway throwing
its strength to the side of the Entente
is based on the havoc wrought by Ger
man submarines on Norwegian ship
ping, which has aroused great bitter
ness in that country, as well as the
smouldering resentment against Ger
many for the annexation of Schles-
wig Holstei many years ago.
All reports from China agree that
advocates of war in that country are
in the majority and formal declara-
ton of hostilities may come any day.
