MENACE To

Admiral Sims In Paris To Help
In Prosecution OF Notable
Submarine Campaign.
BY W. d. FOREST

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent }
PARIS, May THE allies greatest
concerted effort to stamp out the Ger
man submarine menace is being planned
with an American naval officer in the
conferences.
He is Admiral w. S. Sims. On au-
thority of high British officials attend
ing the conference the United Press is
authorized to state that the American
navy will play a great part in this plan.
The officials said that Premier Lloyd
George and other officials were highly
satisfied with the conference and that
the most vigorous anti-submarine cam
paign may be expected. British Off
cial said that the conference wholly con-
cerned the military situation and the
submarine conference. The latter is one
which must be freely discussed between
the allies. The French are concerned
equally with the British.
"The Germans are beaten on the land
and now they are playing their last card

The conference was the most notable
assembiage OF army and navy heads and
food control chiefs = the history of the
war.

patriotism that could well be emulated
by other cities of the county. especially
in the eastern part that were very much
concerned about the middle west and its
apathy toward patriotism.
AS usual still waters run deep and
while the east has been giving patriotic
parades. the west has paraded its pa
triots to the enlisting bureaus and made
its noise with the tramping of its brave
soldier boys.
When the draft comes. the commune
ties that have so nobly done their voIun-
teer duty should be given credit and the
communities where the draft is abso-
lutely necessary should give their full
quota by that plan. Under the plan of
furnishing three million men for the
army Crown Points quota would be
about thirty men. The county seat has
already furnish thrice that number and
this week will witness a dozen or more

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
AF1ELD, May 7.-Germany's retirement
from France must come umess the
French drive is stopped. Today's fight
ing brought realization o. the necessity
OF such retreat in the superhuman ef-
fort of the enemy to save the Rhine's
salient.
The flower of the German army which
Hindenburg had saved for what he hon.
ed would be final decisive offensive is
now being sacrifice.
Entirely aside from the Franco Brit
ish offensive between St. Quentin ana
the Lens the Germans are facing an
equal menace in the Champagne. They
know that the French offensive between
the Aisne and BEoronvilIiers threatens TO
force their evacuation OF the Rhine's
salient. The defenses in that region
constitute the keystone supporting the
entire German front.
The necessity of preventing cutting of
of the salient which would precipitate
withdrawal from France is causing Ger
mans to sacrifice last of their reserves
in an effort to hold back the French. ssx
thousand prisoners taken up to date does
nv AaeASate o snattered te-n1an morale.
On the contrary the Germans are resist
Ing frantically but 1t does indicate the
numbers of reserves being hurled into
the conflict.
They are being put to slaughter uEe
sheep Today standing on a heights
from which could see the French win
ingg out the Hindenburg salient, it was
possible with glasses to see long lines
of motors packed With troops being
rushed to the front b. tie Germans.

which he could buy. But if these grains

If Mr.. Brigham can solve this problem

ditions that he is up against. And those
are very hard. He now has the valuable

these continue. and if heavy average ag-
