LONDON, April 25.-The corps of African military workers behind the lines in France is to be very largely increased this spring. By summer 1t is expected that the native labor army will be multiplied to many times its original size. The experiment, accord ing to army reports. has been bril- liant success. The chief fear, when the first attachments of natives were sent to France, was that climatic con ditions would prove an obstacle, par ticularly the rigor of the European winter. The mortality last winter, however, was very low, and the dis ease that was most dreaded, pneu
 monia, hardly existed among them.

 SOMME
(By United Press)


 LONDON, April 25. - Hardships of the new relentless submarine warfare have not been confined to the terres- trial population of the earth. Even the sea gulls today showed signs of the strain.
 The sea gulls' meal ticket is, of course, the maritime traffic of the globe. The more exclusive gulls fol- low the ocean liners, while the bour- geoise take their table dhote from any old vessel at all.
 Curtailment of ocean traffic has put the voracious fowl on strict war ra- tions. As a result, many of them are invading the western front and trying to share the scoff and plum n apple of the Tommies.
 Thousands of sea gulls are hover ing over the Somme region, squawking about the mess camps and bring the French chefs to despair. And food left unguarded for any length of time is at once snatched away. As a re suit of this unwelcome aerial "straff ing" a new sport is in progress Gull hunting," with plenty of targets furnishes amusement for. the Tom mics.
 In the rear, however, where grea
  mulate, the gulls perform valuable ser | vices in cleaning up the debris. A Ticking the platter clean" neither th' small American boy nor Mr. and Mrs Jack Sprat have anything on SCI gull.
