FRENCH DRIVE FORWARD TO
OUTSKIRTS OF ST. QUENTIN

The largest share of the British
gains lay to the southeast Of Arras,
where the Germans have been making
desperate efforts to halt the advance
Of the Allies, having apparently
reached the line selected by Won Hin
denburg when the retreat was first
ordered. The towns taken there in
clude Croiselles, reported taken the
day before; Massemyy Henin Sur Co
jeul, Doignies, LOuvernal, Noreuil,
Longatt and Ecoust-St Mein.
The Germans attempted to counter
attack, but their advance broke down
under the tremendous barragc fire OF
the British gunners, who are close up
to the front and amply able to support
the advance of the British infantry.
The French advance was to the cast
and west Of the Somme river, where it
bends to the west, south Of ST. Quen-
tin. They attacked the enemy in force
and drove him. back over a front OF
Is kilometers, capturing the towns of
LIE Pine Dallon. Fiffecourt and Cerizy
South of the Ailette, the French also
continued their progress and captured
the town of Vauveny

GOVERNOR WILL
VETO CHARTER
BILL IS REPORT
Executive is Said to Have Ex-
pressed His DiSapprovaI;
Senate to Hurry

That the governor will veto the city
charter bill Is the substance of a re-
port in legislative circles.
1t is asserted on good authority that
the governor yesterday made this
statement to member Of the house.
No direct confirmation of the report,
however. could be asCertained today.
Another member Of the house who
saw the governor yesterday said TO-
day that he did not hear the governor
say he would veto the charter bill, but
that he wanted to know IF we we're
going to pass on more measures
against his department.
What he told the other member
Of the house | do not know, as did
not stay to talk to him." he adds.
No More Hearings
President Chtllingworth was in
formed today that the governor would
veto the charter bill.
Representative Andrews has asked
Chillingworth to get the Oahu delega-
ton of the senate at work. on the bill
at once.
Chillingworth says there will he no
public hearings on the bill in the sen.
ate il he can avoid them.
The substitute charter bill passed

Federal School
SURVEY in Peril
Plan Now Proposed Cannot
Be Approved BY Federal
Commissioners

Amendments to the federal school
survey resolution whereby the sur
vey will be requested by the governor
and SUI erinteldent OF instruction and
carried out in conjunction with the
school department we're to be recon-
mended to the senate this afternoon In
report from the education commit
tee.
The repor- also proposed that the
recommendation of the federal official
who makes the survey shall be made
to the school department. The closing
paragraph is now made to read as
follows:
That the governor and the superin'
tendent of public instruction be and
are hereby requested to invite the
commissioner of education CT the
United States of America to under,
take a fedora, survey of the schools
Of Hawaii, acting in conjunction with
the department Of public instruction
of the Territory Of Hawaii, and to
make such recommendation to the
said department of public instruction
as may seem to the commissioner Of
education will aid our schools to pre-
pare our children for true American
life
II is understood that both the gov.
ernor and the superintendent will ia
vor the survey II proposed along this
line.
Members OF the education commit
tee are confident that the value of the
survey will not be lessened by amend
ments suggested, and like the new
plan in that it spells harmony for all
sides.
DR.. Robert Day Williams, president
of Mid -Pacific Institute and one of the
hard workers for a survey. is of the
belief, however. that the amendments
submitted vii! practically kill the
survey.
''On the basis of letters which. we
have received from Mr. Claxton." said
DR.. Williams today. 81 do not believe
that he will come under these condi-
tons.
In the first place the federal BIZ
rean requires that the survey must be
made absolutely independent Of all
supervision and all facts and data of
the school system must be availa bic
to the federal officer. In the second
place the report Of the survey must
be made to the federal bureau of edu-
cation,
Il believe that the request for
broad type Of survey should rightly
colae from tne governor, but if the
terms of the surrey are dictated 10 the
il is killed because he
has his own standards to work on
DR.. Williams says that in one OF his
letters Mr.. ClaXton stated positively
that he does not want to be influenced
on cite side or the other, entertained
by people or housed in their homes.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., April 4. -
| There will be no volunteers called for
| in the war upon which the United
States is entering, according to the in
| ferences TO be drawn from the details
of the plan TO raise force OF at least
half a million men which have been
made public. The bulk OF this army
Is to be composed of cOnscripts or the
age of 20 years. who will form, in eff.
feet, the first class of those to be CALI
etf~to the colors under the terms OF
the universal compulsory military
training law recommended by the
President and practically certain to be
enacted into law at this session OF
Congress.
The regular army will form the
backbone of the army to be raised for
war purposes at once. with the Nation
al Guard to supplement these trained
men. What volunteers are TO be en-
rolled will be in the ranks of the reg
uIars and the organized militia.
Under the plan worked ont by the
general staff, Congress is to be asked
to pass the universal service law and
the President will Immediately issue
call for all citizens, youths OF 20
years old. to present themselves for
examination for fitness for service.
From these will be selected the con
scripts who are to go into Immediate
training. the number to be sufficient
to bring the army Up to half million
men. including the regulars and mill
tia. &
Youths who are employed in indus
trial occupations necessary to the gen
eral scheme of defense are to be
exempt, as will be those with relatives
dependent upon their earnings, while
there will be also exemption for those
with religious scruples against war
fare
When tine classes are formed, train
ing will proceed as rapidly as possible
to fit the men for active service.
Officers for this army will be secur-
ed through the commissioning OF as
many qualified non-commissioned Of
ficers of the regular army as possible
and through the calling to the colors
Of the members of the officers re-
serve corps.
The first class at West Point. the
members Of which would not Ordinar-
lily graduate until June. will be grad
uated on April 20 and will be imme-
diately assigned to duty. There are
l25 members in this class
Under this plan number Of mill
tiamen will be released from the fed.
eral service and all guardsmen with
families dependent upon them are to
be n ustered out at once, their places
being taken by youths who have not
yet reached the manageable age and
who will be able to serve their coun-
try without hardship to dependent rel
atives.
The plan also includes the calling TO
the colors Of as many thousand youths
between the ages OF 90 and % until
there are enough in training to meet
any emergency.
This plan Of the general staff was
taken up for consideration by the
President with his cabinet yesterday
and was adopted. The size Of the
army to be raised will be left to the
discretion Of the President, with the
that the minimum viii

wording of he resolution Forbes said
he was very busy and could not take
the time to release II for publication.
He intimated that further action on
the last pier Of the trio, Pier 10, would
be taken at the boards regular week
ly meeting this afternoon, due to start
at I:SO

good authority to give the commission
ers atelfafce TO have the remainder OF
the work on Pier 10 done according
! to the recon- anendations OF the inves
tigating committee of engineers

Chairman Forbes made long talk
lasting an hour or more, in which he
spoke in favor of his alternative plan
not indulging in criticism OF the engin
GERS committee as he did when he
first assailed their recommendations.

Wakefield ana Church favored the
amendment. -
Expect Action Today

ton and that there would be striking
differences Of opinion manifested be-

missioners as to whether the 400 foot
wall shall be built Forbes way, the en-
gineers' comIlittee's way, or part of
IL one way and the balance the other.
