town Monday displaying to the local
merchants a new line of preserved
fruits and vegetables. The goods are
cured by a drying process. No chem

GERMANS UNABLE
TO CHECK ALLIES
France Appears to Be Victor.
iOus, Germans Are fleeinq

Temporarily, at least, the retire.
ment Of the German forces in
France appears to have halted, as
both the British and French COM
milnications report counter-attacks
and stubborn resistance along the
front. Notwithstanding, the British
report progress southeast or Arras.,
and the French have moved forward
between one and a quarter miles in
the St. Quentin region.
The French also have gained on
the heights overlooking the Disc
valley northeast of Tergnier and
have repulsed German attacks be-
fore Thil, northeast of Rheims.
Paris asserts that the Germans are
inundating the Disc region and the
city of La Fere, thought to have
been one of the strong points in the
German line, is under water.
South of the Disc the French con-
tinue to cross the Ailette river and
north of Scissors, Paris says, consi-
derable progress has been made to-
ward Margival. Stubborn German
resistance is said to have marked
the French successes northeast of
the canal, between the Somme and
the Disc, in which much ground was
gained.
From Beaurains, about two miles
south of Arras, to Etreillers, five
miles west of st. Quentin, London
reports encounters between British
and German forces. At Vraucort
and at two points in the center of
the line German counter-attacks
are said to have been repulsed and
the British positions maintained.
Southeast of Arras, in the neighbor-
hood of Ecoust and Croisilles, the
British made further gains.
The latest official statements from
Berlin says the French were repul-
sed in the attacks along the Somme
Crozat canal, between the Somme
and the Disc and that 23O prisoners
were taken by the Gemans.

PREP pAREDNESS IS
TOPIC OF THE DAY
Once Fighting Begins United
States Will be the AggressOr

ashington, March 23.-The Amer
ican government has decided upon
sweeping measures to be put into
effect following the expected de-
claration by Congress, soon after it
meets on April 2, that state of war
exists between the United States
and Germany.
Fully appreciating Germany's
policy in war first and talking after
wards, the government has deter
mined to provide against possible
emergency.
Broad questions involved were
discussed today at a long cabinet
meeting to which heads Of depart
ments carried eports on prepara-
tions already made and others con-
templated. Details are being taken
up between resident ilson and the
individual cabinet members.
Regretfully the government ap-
parently has decided that since Ger
many is making war upon the Uni
ted States through ruthless killing
of Americans and destruction of
their ships, the issue must be met
with steps much more far-reaching
than mere attempts to protect indi-
vidual merchant craft, If anything
is ahead to prevent this, it is not
now foreseen. Once a state of war
is declared to exist, aggressive mea-
sures are expected to be taken.
As outlined after today's cabinet
meeting, the preparations of the
government are not to be for
short war or a war marked by half
way measures. Nothing is to be TAX
en- for granted. A complete program
has been prepared so that every
thing done will be carried out in a
systematic, orderly manner.
