French Straighten Lines
Germans Deplore Losses
in Battle With British
But Minimize Importance
Rp Arsncfntsd Press

Copenhagen. April 12. - The battle
of Arras in the opinion of the Ger
man press is an event of only local
importance, lamentable 1t is true, but
already brought to a standstill and not
affecting in any degree the strategic
condition. 1t is interpreted by gen.
eral consent as part of the plan of the
Anglo-French command, foiled in its
intentions of delivering a shattering
blow on the Somme front, TO roll up
the new Hindenburg line by assaults
on both tanks at scissors and Arras
Both attempts are already described
as failures. despite regrettable losses
in men and probably guns, The Brit
ish official reports are given scanty
notice and are printed in inconspicu-
Gus type without headlines. The GEN.
sorship authorities are evidently as
sured that the reading public generally
accept the German version and that
confidence in Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg is unimpaired.
An interview between the field mar
shal and a Spanish correspondent is
given prominence by the German press
and shares headline honors with the
battle OF Arras. In this interview Won
Hindenburg avows his confidence in
the firmness of the German fronts on
the west and east and expresses a con-
Viction that the submarine campaign
will not fail. 1t has had an effect on
public opinion where the field mar
shall still bulks large as a confidence
inspiring hero. The interview was
evidently launched to counteract any
feeling of encouragement at the
growing dimensions of what the
Norwaerts terms "a world league for
the destruction of Germany"

relations with the remaining neutrals
and future peace terms.
Plan Cooperation
Although as a result of the confer
ences a concert of action to effect the
most thorough military and naval CO.
operation is certain. IL is felt that the
discussion will not change the United
States traditional policy of not enter-
ing into European alliances.
Naval co-operatio is understood to
contemplate the policing of all North
and South American waters by the
American navy, allowing the return
of the British and French vessels en-
gagged in that work. and the safe
guarding by American ships of at least
part of the sea lane to Europe. Wheth-
er the latter will necessitate the actual
sending of American warcraft to the
other side has not been announced. but
If it docs. arrangements already have
been made to offer the port of Brest,
in France, as an American naval base.
Not to Send Army
The military participation of the
United States also probably will be
discussed in broad terms, though it is
realized on all sides that this coun-
try will not attempt to send an army
to Europe for the present. The mill
tary situation of this country is well
understood by officials abroad. There
is however an intense desire on the
part of the general public in the en-
tente countries to see a small division
of American troops at the front.
The complete reversal of American
relations to the entente powers through
the abandonment of neutrality in favor
of war will necessitate an entire read
justment of the country's diplomatic
situation

NO IMPROVEMENT
In PAPER PROBLEM
CONTINUED From First Page


The Fourth Estate, an authoritative
newspaper magazine. states that there
continues to be shrinkage of news
paper enrolment a steady decline
of the sum total of paper due to con-
solidation as well as discontinuances.
Biweeklies and triweeklies are return
ing to the weekly field in order to re-
duce news print consumption.
Private advices from Washington
indicate that there has been no let
up in the effort to compel some SOFT
of agreement that will enable news
papers to live. Manufacturers of pa
per report trouble from labor and car
shortage and these factors make still
more difficult an already serious situ-
alton.
All Big Papers at > Cents
Under date of April the Fourth
Estate observes that a great deal of
discussion has taken place IN all large
cities regarding the advisability of all
one cent papers going to two cents
to meet the present high cost. A re-
port from the American Newspaper
Publishers Association declares that
the present forecast on paper condi-
tions for 1918 is worse than expert
enced in 1917. This report states
further that other materials will also
be seriously affected so that it may be
that every publisher will be face to
face with conditions he had not con-
templated. All the Pittsburgh, Phil
adelphia, Baltimore and practically all
of the important papers of PennSyl-
Nania have gone to two cents within
the last six months.

He advances two theories as to the
cause. One is that an accidental
flare up" of black powder in the
east end of "F" building caused a
general explosion. The other is that
an accidental ignition of loose black
powder in one of the four troughs on
the base loading tables set that por-
ton of the plant aflre and caused the
shrapnel shells to explode.
Run Down RumOrs
Police investigation of the probable
cause has developed nothing tangi-
BILE. police officials now devoting
themselves to running down the
myriad 'clues" and rumors that have
f1ourished since the disaster. There
remains one other inquiry, that of op-
eratives of the Department of Justice
ana these agents are making no state
ments, pursuant to the policy of their
department since the United States
entered the world war. In spite OF
the plot theory. Captain NJ. w. Will
helm, general manager of the muni-
tlon factory, points out the improba-
bility of three accidental explosions
each other. There is the possibility
that the concussion of the first pro-
duced the two following blasts, he
says, but this is regarded lightly by
the explosive experts familiar with
conditions in the ruined building.
Many Workers Warned
1t was said that a plotter with sew
eral confederates could have caused
the explosions by dropping capsules
of acid into several of the three-inch
shells. The time 1t would take for
the acid to eat it's way through the
gelatine capsules. it was stated, would
have given the plotters sufficient time
to leave the doomed plant.
Other points in support of the plot
theory are the warnings that nu-
merous munition workers are said to
have received, bidding them to quit
their occupations as the plant was to
be blown up within a month after
the United States declared that a state
of war existed with the Imperial Ger
man Government

Lloyd George Declares
Kaiser Is Right in His
Forecast of Democracy
By associated Press

London, April 12. - Addressing the
American Luncheon Club to-day
Premier Lloyd George said the advent
of the United States into the war had
given the final stamp and seal to the
character of the conflict which was a
struggle against military autocracy.
The premier said he was not sur
prised that America had taken time
TO make up her mind as to the
character of the struggle, having re-
gard to the fact that most of the great
wars in Europe in the past had been
waged for dynasty aggrandizement
and conquest.
Early in the war, Lloyd George con-
tinued, the United States did not COM
prehend what had been endured in
Europe for years from the military
caste in Prussia. Saying that Prussia
was not a democracy but that EN-
peror William had promised it would
be after the war, he added:
Il think the kaiser is right"

Wars Greatest Battle
About to Begin, British
Military Director Says
By Associated Press

Lonson, April 12. - That the Arras
conflict will develop shortly into the
greatest battle of the war was the pre-
diction made by Major General r. II.
Maurice, chief director of military
operations at the War Office, in his
weekly interview with the Associated
Press to-day.
General Maurice declared the pres
ent British offensive was being con-
Quoted according to plans completed
in February, thereby controverting the
claims of the Germans that their re-
treat had upset the British schedule
and that the Teutonic military author
tiles control the situation.
The British losses during the first
two DAYS of the offensive were only
half what thew had been in the cor
responding time in the Somme offen-
siyN. General Maurice declared.

NATIONAL GUARD
ORDERED TO FILL
RANKS AT ONCE
Units to Be Recruited to Peace
!. Strength of Regular
Army
Rn Assncinted Press


Washington. April 12.-Army depart
mental commanders have been ordered
to resume recruiting National Guards
organizations to the peace strength of
the regular army, one hundred men to
the company. Many companies now
have as low as sixty-fve men.
A War Department statement was is
sued to-day to make plain that the Ma
tional Guard recruiting had not been
discontinued.
such an impression is not correct,
the statement says, land department
commanders have been informed that
National Guard organizations may be
recruited to the maximum peace
strength of the regular army"
Look to Congress
Recruiting of the guard to war
strength will not be undertaken until
Congress has authorized the emergency
enlistment contract, to hold during the
war. Otherwise men would be required
to obligate themselves to six years
service in the guard, irrespective OF the
present emergency. 1t is felt this would
be unfair to men who wish to volun-
teer for the war only.
No decision has yet been announced
as to the possibility that the states
may increase their number of units
to the full quota authorized by the ma
tional defense act. II every state took
that step twelve full divisions of the
National Guard would be available with
a peace strength of 100000 enlisted
men and a war strength of approXi-
mately $4,000 Many additional OFF,
GERS would be required, however. to or

in delaying this element of mobiliza'
ton.
