London, April so.-The battle of
Arras still RACES with the issue In
doubt, For six days torrents of
blood have flowed and the armies of
Great Britain and Germany still
struggle for mastery in titanic con-
fiict which battles superlatives. Tens
of thousands of German reserves have
been hurled in vain against the Brit
ish, who foot by foot continue their
advance.
Violent artillery lighting is in pro-
gress south of st. Quentin in which
the French poured destructive fire
on the German defenses, it is an
nounced.
However momentous may be the
results Of the bloody struggle on the
French front they are insufficient to
hold the attention OF the German peo-
pie who are facing a great general
strike that may shake the founda-
tions of the entire country. On the
eve OF May Day a majority of the So
cialists are supporting the govern
ment's efforts to cajole or fraghtcn
the workers from striking. Even the
radical minority seem frightened at
possible results of the agitation they
have fostered.
