RETIREMENT RELEASES
100000 MEN FOR AN
EXPECTED OFFENSIVE
Paris Authorities Look for
Great Attempt to Push
Through to Calais.
BRITISH FORCES
PUSHING AHEAD
Within Easy Approach of
Heart of Famous Lille
Lafere Line.

French troops. pushing hard on
the heels of the retreating Germans.
are today within striking distance Of
the "Hindenburg line" the supposed
goal of their retiring foes. The mile
stones. on this, line are historic towns
OF Lille. Cambria. St. Quentin. Laon
and Lafere. The troops of General
Nivelle were rushing toward St.
quentin yesterday at a rate almost
unprecedented in the world war, and
had reached a point within five miles
OF the city. Unless some unheralded
factor has entered into the situation,
the French have by this time either
entered st. Quentin or the German re-
treat has halted.
British Sweep Ahead.
In the meantime to the north. the
British are doggedly pushing forward
toward Cambria and apparently are
within striking distance Of that town,
the heart of the Lille-Lafere line and
famous since the days of the Ro-
mans. The British are advancing
more slowly than the French. but
nothing. either in the official reports
from Paris or London, or in the un-
official stories of newspaper corre-
spondents at the front. indicates that
either army has yet come in contact
with the main German forces. The
theory that the Germans proposed to
halt their retreat on. the Hindenburg
line has been forwarded by the mill
tary critics in the allied capitals, but
there has been no indication from
Berlin Of the plans of the general
German staff, and the purpose and
meaning of the dramatic retreat of
the invaders of France remain cloth
ed in considerable mystery.
Look For Counter Attacks.
French military observers estimate
that the German retirement has al
ready released 10000 to 100000
troops who are available for long
predicted counter offensive to be
launched against the allied line at
some speculative point. The. Paris
newspapers regard some such move
on the part Of Won Hindenburg as al
most certain and discuss the possi-
bility Of another tremendous effort to
smash a way through to Calais.
In the meantime, the only indica-
tion Of German attempt to assume
the initiative Is in apparently sporad-
ic fighting in the Champagne district
and on the Verdun front. Nothing has
developed in either of these directions
to indicate an offensive on a scale
great enough to Offset the sensational
evacuation of a thousand or more
square miles in Picardy. ~

March 20.-The history Of the last
hour OF Emperor Nicholas as ruler Of
Russia Is related by correspondent
OF the Outro Rossii Of Moscow as fol-
lows:
Two trains arrived at the station at
Vtshera, 1875 miles southeast of Pet

one train carried the emperor's suite.

ed from headquarters by the empress,
was on the way to the Tsarskoe-Selo.
Kept Empress in Ignorance.
None Of the kilograms about the
revolution sent by President Rodzian-
ko Of the Duma had reached the en-
peror. Every effort was made to keep
him tntgnorance Of these affairs. Gem
eral label protested. declaring that
II the others refused to inform the
emperor, he would do so. Nicholas
who had been sleeping. was awakened
at o'clock in the morning. He went
to the dining car and demanded that
ADMIRAL Niloff tell him what had hap
pened in Petrograd. He was told that
a crowd of students, hoodlums and
young soldiers had terrorized the
Duma, but that a few detachments
OF troops would be able to put them
down.
"Cross" for Car.
Just then Commander voyekoff, Of
the imperial train. entered with a tel
egram stating that 700 of the st.
George cavalry were on the way to
Tsarskoe-Selo to present a cross to
the emperor and had arrived at the
nearby station of Dno, headed by
General Ivanoff.
Your majesty" said voyekoff, ut
is enough that you appear at the
Tsarskoe- in the midst Of these
heroes, and with the Tsarskoe- -Selo

order to divert the train) commander

Then Gen. label spoke out, say
ing: There are 10000 troops. with
officers, backing the temporary gov
ernment. Your majesty has been de-
clared dethroned. It is Impossible to
go further"
"I Will Abdicate."
Nicholas, completely nonplussed,
exclaimed: why was I not told be-
fore? They tell me now when all is
finished" After a moment he added
with gesture of helplessness. Let
1t be SO. Thank God. I will abdicate
II that is what the people want. I
will go to Livadia (the estate of the
Russian imperial family on the south
coast of the Crimea). to my garden.

NAVY FOOTBALL is
OFFICIALLY CALLED OFF
Formal Edict Placing Ban, Comes From
Washington-No More Sports
Until After War

There will be no football games for
the midshipmen at the Naval Academy
during the coming season, all reports
to the contrary notwithstanding, nor
will there be any other athletic
competitions with out of town
teams at all during the period of the
war This announcement was made
by authorities Of the academy this
morning.
The middies had been hoping against
hope that football would be allowed to
proceed in the ususl course, owing to
the fact that the order of Secretary of
the Navy Daniels issued in April, bar
ring all Spring athletic events, made
no mention of football, but two davs
ago, word came forth frum Washing
ton placing football on the ban. So
the middle pigskin chasers will have
to content themselves with a series of
class games The Nays schedule
had been arranged months ago, but
the management of teams contained in
the list has now been advised of the
situation.

JACK FLOOD STICKS
TO WELLS Faction
Former Resort Keeper Remains
Firm to Organization
HE GIVES OUT STATEMENT
PrOgsessives, However, Propose To
Put Up The Hottest Kind
OF Fight.

Jack Flood, one time proprietor
of the famous river resort at Curtis
Bay, this county. has renewed alli-
ances with the Wells-P s-Potee-Revell
faction. This became known yester-
day and the Democrat organization
men in the upper part of the Fifth
District are gaining heart and lead
ers in other sections are rejoicing.
The Progressives propose to give the
regular organization people a hot
fight this year and they had hoped
that it wuld be impossible to patch
up the differences in the Organization
forces which have developed within
the past Is months.
But the main difficulty in the upper
section of the county which the Or
ganiZation people had to solve was the
going to side? He long since closed
his resort and would need no help on
that score. Progressive leaders in
terviewed Flood several times during
the last few weeks and attempted to
win him to their side But to them
he turned a deaf ear Through his
help the Organization has been able
to carry the upper part of the Fifth
District for many years. and this.
year. with other sections of the coun-
ty in political turmoil his help is
needed more than ever.
I'm with the Wells people, al
ways he said when seen yesterday.
Whats the use of falling out with the
fellows who are in power? It's no
use in dropping them for something
new and uncertain. Besides, they can't
possibly beat DR.. Wells. They've had
him dead a number of times, but he'll
outlive them all and beat them too.
He's a wonderful man and trusted by
ALL"
The Progressives believed that the
split in the Fifth District faction
would cause Flood to cut off relations
with the Organization. Now that
Flood has come out for the Organiza-
tion it is believed that the split has
been fixed, but only temporarily ac-
cording to the opponents. They pre-
dict that after the election, if the Or
ganization is successful in its fight,
Irwin and others who have followed
principles not approved by the Or
ganization leaders will be removed
from flee and replaced by new men.
The Progressives if successful in
the county fight. promise to clean up
conditions in the county and they ex-
pect many votes from the members
of the various law and order lead
ers in the county. Things do not
look so bright for them as they first
appeared, but they say they are not
losing hope, and are going to put up
the greatest fight the Organization
forces have ever had to meet
