WAR MESSAGE WITH
COMPLETE AUTHORITY
President Wilson Preparing
Statement While Committee
Works on Resolutions
STATE OF HOST1LITIEs
EXISTS WITH GERMANY
Omitted PreSS)

Washington, March 27.-The resolu-
ton to be introduced in congress
April 8. one day after that body meets
in extra session and after the presi-
dent has concluded his address to the
joint session, will declare that the
time has come when the United States

ing the restoration of peace. While

sage, the house foreign affairs is pre-
pairing the war resolution. The COM
mittee will draw the resolutions along
the following lines:
Features Of Resolution.
That wanton violation of rights of
persons and property Of our citizens
has been committed by the Germans;
that her repeated acts of bad faith
and utter disregard of solemn treaties
have instituted ample cause for war
on our part; that the German acts
have been such as to justify the
United States before the whole world
in resorting to remedies, however ex-
treme; that with the anxious desire
to avoid a rupture we forebore for
months to assert our rights by force
aud continued negotiations to seek re-
dress for the wrongs suffered in the
hope that Germany might yield to
pacifst council and demands Of JUS
tice; that it was in this hope that
the United States was disappointed;
that the time has come when this
country must vindicate her honor,
right and interests, and that the con-
gress Of the United States place at
the disposal of the president means of
prosecuting the war vigorously and
thereby Fastening the restoration OF
peace.
The resolution will also authorize
provision for an increase in the army
and navy.

cutting the war. That the old Rus

ALLIES TRY TO ENCRCLE

Stiff Teutonic Resistance Checks
Advance of British in Region
of Arras Sector
(AsSOclated PreSs)

Driving forward north and south OF
st. Quetin, heart of the Hindenberg
line, the Allies have cut two of the
four main railroads which feed the
city, while third is well within
reach OF the French guns. While La
Fere, inundated by the retreating Ger
mans, and two of it's dominating forts
are IN the hands OF the French, chief
interest in the tremendous battle
which has been raging for week on
an 80-mile front shifts to historic st.
Quentin. The Germans are making
desperate and bloody attempts to
wrest from the French the Esingny-
Benay plateau from which General
Nivelle's guns command the southern
approaches to the city. and render
its position. in the opinion of military
critics, one OF grave peril.
Forge to West.
Further to the south. the French
have forged well to the west OF st.
Quentin, hammering great dent In
and La Fere. The advance Of this
salient threeimiles further would give
the French possession Of the last
direct railway- line. between tho two.

Swing In Great Curve. 4.
South of LA Fere the French troops
have swung in great curve around
the forests of Coucy, and st. Gobain.
the formidable natural barrier, which
lies between them and Loan, the
southernmost fortress on the Hinden-
berg line. In the center of the curve.
General Nivelle has forced wedge
into the forest, but about 10 miles of
heavily timbered country must yet
be conquered before he reaches his
goal. .
General Haig Checked.
On the northern section of the
great battle line, the situation is
somewhat obscure Neither the Brit
ish nor German official communica-
tions throw much light on the opera
tions there. Some progress has been
made in the direction of Cambria by
General Haig, but apparently the de-
termined resistance of the Germans
has checked the British advance along
the whole Arras sector.
Turks Hard Pressed.
While the issue OF the titanic strug-
gle in France remains in doubt, the
stage is set for sensational possibil-
tiles in Mesopotamia. In the plains
of the Tigris five armies are converg-
ing on the Turks in the hope Of deal
ing death blow to Ottoman power In
it's eastern empire. The Russians are
advancing from Persia in three divi-
sions, driving the Turks before them
and have already crossed the Turk
ish frontier at two places. To the
south, General Maude, conqueror OF
Bagdad is pressing forward up the
Tigris and the Diala rivers.
Outside of the possibility OF decis.
i've victory over their encircling foes.
apparently the only road Of retreat
open to the Turks is to the west. Here
they are confronted with the des0late
wastes OF the great desert Of Ell Jez-
ireh. according to military critics an
impossible barrier.

RUSSIA MAY
BREAK GRIP
ON BALKANS
(Unitedt Press.)

PeMograd, March 27.-The new
Russia may break the grip of the
Central Empires in the Balkans and
may even bring about the withdrawal
of Bulgaria and Turkey from the war,
according t. developments today.
Two moves by the new government
leaders are cited to likely have far
reaching effect to this end.
"Dicker" With Turks.
The first is a plan Of. Minister Of
Justice Kerensky for internationaliz-
alton in Constantiople. Minister
Kerensky agrees with President Will
son as to free outlets to the sea, and
with his plan for naturalization OF
such outlet. His plan, it is said, is
also to bring about the retention Of
the Dardanelles and Constantinople
by the Turks. The second plan Isl
popular negotiations with the Bulgars
reported in progress today. When
the new Foreign Minister Milorkoff
was exiled to Sofia several years ago,
he won the friendship Of the Bulgars.
Later, when he was permitted to- re-
turn, he declared in a speech in the
Duma that Bulgaria had been unfair
ly treated.
German Attacks
German gas attacks on the western
bank Of the Chara river compelled
the Russian forces to fall hack in an
direction, today's official
statement said. The Germans first
attacked without gas, but were re-
pulsed. The second attack with gas
compelled a brief retirement by the
Russians.

Town Board Meet and

Transacts Month's Business
The Arvada Town Board met
Monday evening and transacted
the regular monthly business.
with Mayor Russell in the chair
and the full board present.
The business in hand was very
light and was transacted in .
little more than an hour.
Owing to the moving away Of
W. H. Light the Town Treasurer
it became necessary to elect a
new one and Joseph c. Munal.
two-year member of the board
was chosen by unanimous vote.
Mr.. Munal being in business on
the main street will make it
very convenient for the water
userSto pay their water rents
there.
One thing brought to attention
of the board was that the Arva.

grated until there are only three
members left. This 10 partially

opinion that it should do some.
thing toward rehabilitating the

plans are being considered. One

It Is quite . sacrifice for the
boys to be always ready to re.

times they ruin good clothes and
shoes because they don't have
time to change.
The board feels that they
should be paid something for

may mean . great deal to the
town some day and the few dol.

well spent. An effort
will be made to get the boys to.
