British troops, in desperate attempt to turn the northern wing of the Dro- court -Queant line have advanced on a front of nearly ten miles and captured the village of ArleuX -en- -Gohelle, nine miles west of Douai. The most violent fighting marked the battles and sue cessive German counter attacks made at heavy sacrifices failed to check the British.
 To the Canadians, conqnerers of Nimy ridge fell the work of capturing ArleuX, two miles from the Drocourt- Queant line and east of the Vimy ridge German counter attacks failed to move them. In hand to hand fighting the attacking forces were driven back
 Fierce encounters in which the bay onet and rifle butt were used freely marked the fighting from east of the Nimy ridge south across the Scarpe to Monchylle- -PreuX. Field Marshal Haig's men also gained ground northeast of Gavrelle between Gavrelle and RoeuX, and north of Monchy -PreuX. In ad- dition to their heavy sacrifices in killed and wounded the Germans lost 800 prisoners.
 The capture of ArleuX widens con- siderably the British salient in the German positions directly east of Douai, the objective in this fighting. It threatens, too, the southern defenses of Lens, as well as the village of Dro- court, the northern end of the line on which military experts say the Ger mans have pinned their hopes for the safety of Douai and the region it com mands.

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

HASTINGS, Colo. April 2S.-Virtu- ally all hope of saving any of the 120 men entombed in the Hastings mine of the Victor American Fuel Company here yesterday morning was abandoned tonight.
 James Dalrymple, state coal mine in spector, who came from the mine late today, gave it as his opinion that there was no one left alive in the mine Rescue men who have been in the mine expressed themselves similarly.
 c. F. Bartlett, president of the com pany, however, declared the work of rescue would go on until there is no hope that any of the entombed men are alive.
 Shortly after 9 o'clock tonight two more bodies were brought out of the mine, making a total of 15 recovered.
 Dalrymple, who penetrated the working to within tyo thousand feet of the face of the mine said the rescue crews knew where there were six or eight-other bodies which they could not reach until the gas cleared away. Ven tilating apparatus has been repaired and it now is a matter of hours until the rescuers can proceed beyond their present limit, the fourth north entry which was reported last night. A sue CteuHlS SllIl put III d cOllSlueIdDIe number of brattices and the air course down to this entry now is in working order.
 Tn my opinion there was no fire in the mine" Dalrymple said. In this view he is joined by practically all em- ployers and rescue men here. As to the cause of the disaster he said:
 We cannot tell until we reach the initial point of the explosion. We are working the north side of the air course and coming back on the south searching every entry in which there Were men working
 Rescue men, old miners, and old res idents in this section put the present disaster down as the worst that ever occurred in the southern Colorado coal fields. The same men united in shak- ing their heads and saying, T don't know when asked about the cause of the explosion.
 A peculiar phase of the affair was that several of the bodies brought out late today had had the hair burned off them and the skin blackened as though (CCntinued OF Page Two)

PUT AMERICAN FLAG ON FIRING LINE OVER GROWING FORCE UNTIL WAR BRINGS

[RepubIican A. p. Leased wirel

CHICAGO. April 2S--Put the American flag on the firing line in France, Flanders or the Balkan pen insula at the earliest possible mo- ment and keep it there as long as the war continues over constantly growing fighting force until the war brings victory" was the appeal de-
 liNered here tonight by Theodore Roosevelt to the people of the west in sptech in the Stocllyards pavil
 lion under the auspices of the Ma tional Security league.
 T come here tonight to appeal to the people of the great west the peo- pie of the great west, the people of the Mississippi valley, the people who are the spiritual heirs of the men who stood behind Lincoln and Grant" de-
 clared MT Roosevelt. When once walked up to actual condition, you have always stood with unfaltering courage and iron endurance for the national honor and the national interest 1 appeal to the women as much as to the men, for our nation has risen level to every great crisis only because in every such crisis the courage of its women famed as high as the courage of the men.
 q appeal to, you to take the lead in making good the president message of April 2 in which he set forth the reasons why 1t was our unacceptable duty to make war upon Germany. We can make the presidents message stand among the great state papers in our history; but we can make 1t good only if we fight with all our strength now, at once; if at the earliest pOssl- ble moment, V put the flag on the fir ing line and keep it there over con stantly growing army, until the war closes by a peace which brings vic tory to the great cause of democracy and civilization, the great cause of justice and fair play among the peo- ples of the world.
 We Americans are at war. Now let us fight Let us make it real war, not dollar war Let us show that we
 have the manhood to pay with our
 own bodies, and not merely to hire oth- | CT men to pay with their bodies Let i us fight at once. Let us put the flag i at the front now. at the earliest mo-
 ment, and not merely announce that we are going to fight a year or two hence. 1 Asserting that America should inn | mediateiy set about raising a great army on the principle of universal obligatory military training and service and dtclarng that it would require a | long time to train such an army, MT Roosevelt declared
 l But most emphatcally, we should not rest content with this We should not rest content with merely preparing an army to act a year or eighteen months or two years hence. Let us put the flag on the firing line at the earliest possible moment, this summer, wher- ever our services are most needed-ln France or Flanders or the Balkan
 peninsula. It need only bt a small
 army at first But even division would be better than nothing. Then
 we can constantly keep that division filled. and other divisions from time tc time added to it; until year hence 1 if the war continues, we have really

CHICAGO, April 2S-Big, prosper ous, business -emersed Chicago was stirred to it's very roots today by the coming of Theodore Roosevelt with his message of universal service and patri- otic national duty. No longer can 1t be said that the middle west is apathetic- in fact Illinois now stands first in en- liStments.
 The cheering multitudes who packed the streets through which the colonel drove, escorted by a squadron of cav airy in which Marshal Field, III, rode as a private, not only paid tribute to great patriotic leader, but by their shouts vigorously endorsed his demand to be sent to the firing line in France. Through the courtesy of the officers of the National Security League which for two years has fought for national pre- paredness, | attended the luncheon given Roosevelt and twelve hundred members of the league at the La Sale hotel, The colonel, inspired by the marvellous reception, the thunderous singing of national afrs and the hard hitting, patriotic talks of the speakers preceding him, spoke with the voice of real patriotic leadership and was cheered to the echo by many men who have been his most active political op ponents.
 He made it clear that in offering to help raise a volunteer division to fight for humanity in France, he would se- cure mon above 2, thus iu no way in terfering with Gpnscription and stated that he of course wished to serve under such general of trained military experi- ence, as the president might appoint. He strongly endorsed the presidents plan of universal obligatory military service but showed that there was also honorable service to he given the nation by those best fitted for such service in the lines of food production conserva-

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-With the ground work laid for a working agree ment with America in the common cause against Germany the British and French war missions will re-dedicate their united efforts to democracy to- morrow in impressive ceremonies at the tomb of George Washington at Mount Vernon.
 Through her foreign minister, Ar thur James Balfour Great Britain will publicly pay homage to the memory of the man who in the name of democ- racy, led the revolution which tore one of the brightest jewels from the British crown. A wreath will be placed on the tomb by MT Balfour, signalizing a pub lie manifestation of honor seldom equalled in British history
 France, through former Premier Vii viani, now minister of justice, and Marshal Joffre, will accord to the father of the American republic the highest honor within the gift of France.

 CHICAGO, April 2S.-"Farm and arm
 With this battle cry Theodore Roose- welt entered Chicago today and in two stirring speeches urged that every en- ergy of the entire nation be directed toward making the potential might of the United States felt in the war against Germany, and he demanded that not an hour be lost in dispatching troops to the trenches.
 His first speech was made at lunch con at noon; his second at a mass meeting in the immense amphitheater at the stock yards
 He advocated universal training as a permanent policy; he advocated con- scription but he pleaded that he should be allowed to recruit a division for inn mediate service with the allies
 He was roundly applauded when he urged that during the war the use of grain for the manufacture of alcoholic beverages be prohibited
 At the luncheon Harry Pratt Judson president of the University of Chicago introduced a resolution to be forwarded to President Wilson requesting that the colonel be authorized to- raise a division and to lead it into France. MT. Roosevelt interrupted to ask if he might amend it.
 Make it read that we want the division sent under any competent of ficers, and please to let Roosevelt go along"
 Certainly" replied Dr. Judson. and his resolution was adopted unani- mously
 I'd go as second lieutenant" :" added Colonel Roosevelt. MT Roosevelt referred to Major 1 General Thomas H. Barry, command ing the central department, L. & A., who was among those at the speakers table, as being of the type of man who might well lead such a division.

 As usual he backed his words by deeds by declaring that not only was he trying to go to the front, but that of his four sons, three were now in train ing camps and the fourth had enlisted in the aviation corps
 There was no hysteria about this great meeting, but a grim earnestness which showed that his listeners were ready to back their lusty cheers with action. His remarks preliminary to his prepared address bristled with charac teristic epigrams. His slogan was Farm and Arm" He paid tribute to the loyalty of the vast majority of Ger man Americans and said you'd have to use seven hyphens to classify me. He again said use all the grain We have for food not intoXicants; again, Give us obligatory universal military service and the stacker will do his share" and later, Let us make uni versal military training d permanent national policy and added, My fight is to get conscripteo myself.
 Later I conferred with the colonel at his rooms which were literally besieged by all classes and conditions of men from captains of big business to in- dustrial workers, cowboys, negro ad mirers and maRy German Americans. He sent his warm ~reetings to the men and women of Arizona and is very happy in the thought that Jack Green way and others of his old regiment are ready to go with him to France and fight for our old ally of revolutionary days.
 Al the conclusion of the noon meet ing, ringing telegram was sent Presi- dent Wilson on behalf of the l,200 fol- lowers urging that 9 Wav h9 r"''~ send Colonel Roosevelt and his eXpedi- tionary force to the fronr

COAST STATES JOIN IN EFFORT TO GET
 FOREIGN VISITORS

A visit to Arizona by Marshall Joffre. Minister Balfour and other distinguished American guests will be a reality if present plans of Cover nor Thomas E. Campbell and chief executives of adjoining states carry.
 Believing that visit of the many notable European figures now at Washington to the western Seaboard is not such a remote possibility, q movement was started late yesterday afternoon by officials of many middle and western states to secure local ap- pearances of the distinguished group. On behalf of the people of Arizona, Governor Campbell lost no time in joining the movement
 It is thought probable that these men would consider such d trip if too much of their time is not utilized in executive work in Washington. It is generally recognized that the ap- pearance of any or all of these men would have the effect of greatly stim- ulating enlistments throughout the country. A few first hand stories of actual war conditions, it is thought would have the desired result in all sections.
 Every possible string is to be pulled in an effort to urge these men to make the western tour It is thought that by impressing upon the visitors the influence such visit would make in increasing war preparations in this country, that they could be pursuaded to remain a few days longer in this country for the purpose of making the western trip.
 The following telegram was sent yesterday afternoon by Governor Thomas E. Campbell, as well as the governors of several other western states, to President Wilson, Robert Lansing, secretary of state, French ambassador M. Jusserand, British ambassador. Sir Cecil Spring Rec. United States Senator Henry Ashurst of Arizona, and Carl Hayden, Arizona, congressman.
 Arizona joins in the invitation of middle and western states to Marshal Joffre. Minister Balfonr, Marquis De- chambrun and their colleagues to visit us. Our people desire to see and honor the distinguished repre- sentatives of our great allies. Will you kindly use your best offices in behalf of the state of Arizona, the newest, but one of the most loyal in the union."
 Governor Campbell also sent the following message to Governor Will liam D. Stephens of California:
 Today I am joining with you in wiring President Wilson, Secretary of State Lansing, the ambassadors of Great Britain and France and our congregational delegation to use their best offices in behalf of a visit to the western states, including Arizona, on the part of Marshal Joffre, Min ister Balfour and other distinguished national guests of the allied nations
