EXPECTS WAR FROM BERLIN
London Looks for Germany to Open
HostIIItles on v. s..

LONDON, March PA declaration
OF war by Germany against America
within the next few days would not
surprise British officials.
From various meager bits OF news
altering out OF Germany today such
a step was indicated. One report, via
Amsterdam, had II that German off,
cials had warted American newspaper
men in Berlin that q state of war was
expected within forty-eight hours.
In the viewpoint of many officials.
the present week may be the turning
point of the war. America has ap-
parentIy definitely cast the die against
Germany. The Teutonic retreat on
the western front is now reaching the
new "Hindenburg line"
London received news OF President
Wilson's call for an extraordinary ses-
sion Of Congress without undue emo
ton. 1t had long been expected.
The Daily Telegraph regarded the
Presidents action as the turning
point in the worlds history"

Exhibition at Arts and Crafts
Studio IS Cause of
Delight.
ISLANDS ARE CHIEF TOPIC
Woman War Sufferer and Cape
Cod Men Also Are Sub
jects.

For one who has ever been in Der
muda. and is familiar with its quaint
Spanish, Italian, English, and what
not streets, a treat is in store at the
Arts and Crafts Studio, 731 Seven,
teenth street northwest, where Miss
Mary A. Kirkup's paintings OF Der
muda are on exhibition. The exhibit
ton will continue until March 81.
The islands that furnish the Easter
lilies can also boast Of pretty antique
homes, century 'plsnts, fisher-folk
houses, and an altogether unique sea
shore.
Miss Kirkup's painting of From
the Hill Top" a scene portraying the
sea on a gray day, with foreground
of blossoms and varied plants, will
rival any similar painting on exhibit
ton in this city. The strait that was
dear to canoe and yacht excursionists
before the war has been brought to
rare proximity to life by Miss Kirk
up, who spent the whole OF last win
ter on the island.
"waItIng.-
waiting" a Belgian mother who
expects her son to return from war;
is superb.
Miss Rirkup regards 1t as her mas
terpiece. Certainly 1t Is the best OF
the collection. 1t shows the woman
sitting in her home at the close OF the
day; her boys picture is in her lap
and her face Is turned away to the
road; tears stand in her eyes and
there is a pathetic expression of lone
illness and expectancy. Miss kirkup
states she met many women with
sons or brothers at the front, and the
same sorrow seems to be crushing
down upon them all.
The Spanish influence on modern ar
chitecture in Bermuda Is forcefully
reflected in "a Street in St Georges"
Here the quaint cupola, the box sides
of the house, and the stingy side
yard testify that many residents OF
Bermuda still adhere to Spanish ways
and designs.
Cape Co.'s Fishers.
In another street scene from Prov
incetown, Cape Cod, Miss Kirkup
brings to the connoisseur the impress
sion of low-gabled, dirty faced, al
most tawdry house fronts, with mar
row side streets and fishermen
sprawled out on the ground mending
their nets. This, too, has received her
best artistic touch.
Pirate Rocks" Is another piece of
work that Miss Kirkup turned out
during her sojourn in Bermuda
THE Banana Patch" in January,
and "a March Morning" are the
names of others in the collection
,~hleA AesarxA more than casual at
tention. In the last named, a pretty
miss is shown sitting in the garden,
fretting at the weather although
blooming flowers and opening buds
around her testify to the advance of
the season
Miss Kirkup has twenty-five paint
ings in her collection.

 BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Oct 2S.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-The story of the highly important victory won by the French and Belgian armies over the marsh lands of Flanders yesterday is the rec ord of a spectacular military operation, which before it's completion would have been branded as impossible by the average expert It is a story of men who battled their way forward over morasses and through water in to which they sank literally to their necks at times and, with rifle and cold steel, conquered the enemy in a large and vital strip of territory which in cludes within it's bolders such places as Pippe Merckem. Aschoope, Yer. brandesmis and Kostermolen.
 The striking feature of the perform ance lies in the part played by the Bel gians in yesterdays drive. When the pOilus reached the neiShborhood of Luyghem in the afternoon and began their assault upon this place, the Bel gians, who were watching from their lines across the floods, Joined in. and numbers of them, piling into ferries, poled their way to the eastern shore Gnd hurled themselves on the Germans concealed in concrete defenses in the region north of Luyghem, with such good effect that they quickly captured this entire northern tip of the so called Luyghem peninsula.
 The terl itory conquered yesterday is a strip of land about 700 yards long and varying in width from 1900 yards at the narroweSt place to 5000 at the widest. If a line be drawn from a point just north of LangeWaede west ward almost to Sevekoten, this would constitute the base of the strip. The French began their attack at dawn af- ter heavy artillery preparation that had reduced many concrete defenses before them. A
 In their push Friday they. had moved forward over q thousand yard front to the lines which ran east from Lange- ""aede. When they paused il was at the edge of d marsh which was im- passabie for large bodies oI infantry However small bodies of poilus had waded through the deep water and captured two farms, one .t either end of the line of advance. These farms provided hrideehead and by the wonderful feat of the engineers. lines If Dontoons were slung acrols the marsh Friday night In order to ac- complish this, it was necessary for the men to work in water reaching above their shoulders Over the bridges the infantry advanced at 5.15 o'clock yes terday morning. and at the same time the troops en their right showed ahead along ground which was drier.
