General Haig Reports Ger

London, April s.-The British early
this morning attacked and penetrated
the German lines on a wide front
from a point south Of Arras to the
Sound Of Lens. thus opening what Is
believed here to be a general spring
forward to eagerly for some days.
The offensive of the British fiyins
corps in the latter part of last week,
the attack on Zeebrugge Saturday
night and the activities OF the French
in Belgium. as shown in yesterdays
odlcial communication in Paris, were
considered a prelude to important
military operations.

The British commander. General
Haig. whose reports are always mod

penetrated everywhere and that salts

rection Of Cambrai and st. Quentin.
two important positions in connection
with the new German line. The ex-
tension of the attack northward to
Lens doubtless was intended to give
the British more elbow room for their
operations from Arras to the point Of
juncture with the French around St.
Quentin.
The ofliciat-..tatement says that in
tho direction of Cambria the British
have stormed the villages of Hermies
and Boursies and penetrated Havrtn-
court Wood.

the statement says. but the number is

Referring to, 80 attack on the front
between Arras and Lens, the state
ment says:
1--WE are making satisfactory prog
ress at all points"
Tho fighting line from Lens to Ar
ras is approximately ten miles long
and lies directly north of the field OF
the German retreat.
The fact that the line has been
penetrated by tk>, British all along
this wide front indicates that the
movement is general offensive. That
It is proving a successful drive Is In
dicated by the statement that "satis-

Danger Point for Germans.
An entire new phase of operations
on the western front Is thus opened
up. Tho field Of attack represents the
greatest danger point for the Ger
mans, as in the recent fighting a sharp
salient was driven into tho Gereman
line southeast Of Arras.
In the Lens region into which the
British are driving is a rich coal field
which the Germans have been exploit
ing since their occupation Of this ter.
ritory early in the war.
The opening Of the new offensive
has been foreshadowed in the intense
aerial activity of the past two OF

sides.
The capture Of Fresnow le Petit
puts the British within two and one.

CENTRAL AMERICAN
STATES LINING UP
Mexico the Only Important
Country on Continent of
German Tendency.

Washington, April 9.-Early en-
trance of several of the South and
Central American nations into the
war against Germany Is regarded here
as practically certain. Brazil. aroused
by the sinking Of her steamship Pa
rama is expected to become belliger-
ent this week and 1t is assumed that
her lead will be followed promptly by
other countries.
Reports Of divided opinion In Ar
gentina have given officials here lit
tie encouragement to look for aggres-
sive action by that country.
Active support Of the United States
by at least two Of the Central Ameri-
can republics and possibly by four
would not be surprising. Official re-
ports that Estrada Cabrera. president
Of Guatemala. is contemplating seri-
ously q break with Germany have
been received.
Guatemala Opposes Mexico.
So long as Mexico's course Is unde-
fined unusual interest is attached to
the position of the Central American
governments, especially that Of Guat-
emala. controlling the southern from
tier Of Mexico In the event Of, the de-
velopment of Aan unfriend1r tis"stspn
in Mexico. it is realized that. sGl4te-
mala's role would be quite important.
In Guatemala. Estrada Cabrera has
built up what is regarded generally
as the most efficient army in Central
America and with it he would be in
a position to lend valuable assistance
to the United States. Antipathy be-
tween the Guatemalans and the Mex
leans there has existed for years.
If Cabrera does place his country
in the list 1t is expected that Mica
ragua will quickly follow and that the
long differences between
those two countries and Salvador and
Honduras may be swept away in a
desire to present a United Central
America.
Odd Costa Rica Condition.
An odd situation would be left in
the position Of Costa Rica. There q
new government just has been in
stalled and has apparently no oppor-
tunity of recognition by the United
States. Federico Tinoco, who over
threw the government and Alfredo
Gonzalez in January was elected
president on April 1. Immediately af-
ter the overthrow of Gonzalez the
United States government announced
that 1t would not recognize the de-
facto government and would not
recognize Tinoco IL elected.
Some anxiety has been manifested
in the probable position Tinoco would
| take but in case the executives of the
other four Central American govern
ments join in the war any obstruc.

Pearl had no time to lose. She

cOrkless bottle. Into this she stuffed

it snugly. She was about to toss the
bottle through a portfolio into the riv-

it around the bottles neck. Then, with
an inward prayer that someone would

Adams did not reply. He kissed the
astonished Pearl.
Early in the morning, but long after
the tugboat and the barges left the
wharf, two fishermen found the bottle
containing Pearls message and, more
interested in obtaining the reward
than in the startling nature of her in
telligence. delivered it to the officers
of a revenue cutter at anchor in the
Washington harbor. Now followed a
thrilling dash to Bar Stable inlet, "A
