sector today Infantry activity was
confined to local engagements

have attempted several counter attacks
but they gained no success.
Avlators continue 10 play an important
role in harassing the enemy behind his
front lines They are obstructing the

1t Is believed the stand the Germans are
preparing to make in their old trenches
is likely TO prove only temporary ex-
pedient to obtain time in which 70 move
back the immense stores Of material and
TO organize retirement of the artillery and
infantry
There is great activity within the Ger
man lines east OF Roye and Chaulnes. All
the roads are encumbered with wagon
trains indicating the enemy still is moving
out the ammunition and supplies he had
gathered in that region.
The latest prisoners taken say they be-
long to the rear guard whose mission is
10 delay the advance of the French and
facilitate the retirement OF the main force
with the supplies and big guns
The German artillery, which maintained
only a harassing fire up TO yesterday
now is laying down barrages which alone
are sufficient TO slow up the French
advance
In spite of the intense shelling the
French today made gains in local opera

out along the great sweep of rolling pas
ture lands behind Boulogne-La-Grase

Heaps of German dead lie on every side
The enthusiasm of the French troops
has carried them up TO the railway line
running between Compiegne and Roye
Their most advanced position is south
of the Loges forest where the enemy is
vainly counter-attacking.
The enemys tactics are intended TO
delay the French until the main German
forces can withdraw, but great stocks of
ammunition and war material of all kinds
are being left as the Germans retire.

Our ambition for ships and then more
ships is boundless If our hopes are
realized, by the end of the coming year our
merchant fleet will weight twenty million
tons. which means that II will be the size

time the war broke out. And Great
Britain was then the greatest maritime
nation on earth, the Mistress of the Seas.
But our ambition does not stop there.
In fact. We have SET no limit 10 the ship
building undertaking, but will build more
and more vessels until the need for addi-
tional ones is gone. We have every reason
10 expect that the United States in turn
will take her place as the greatest of sea-

LATEST HUN DIPLO-
MACY MET BY u: S.
WITH NEGATIVE RE-
SPONSE TO CZERNIN'S
PEACE TERM SPEECH.
British and French Win
Successes, Capture Pris-
oners and Guns, and Re-
pulse Teut0n Attacks All
Along the Line.
(By Associated Press)


Washington, April 3.-Officials re.
gard the Czernin statement as the be-
ginning of a new TeutOn peace Of
fensive, with Czernin acting at Ger
manys behest. 1t is declared the
speech is designed to create the i'm
preston that the Allies are fighting
solely to recover Alsace- Lorraine.
Any TeutOnic suggestions that the
time is near for peace discussion will
find nothing but a negative response
in America. The State Department
has indicated clearly that it did not
believe the present engagement would
result in any weakening either at the
capitals or among the people of the
nations warning against Germany.
CZernin's statement that Clemen-
ceau had indicated willingness to
discuss peace is not given credence
and is believed to be a willful misin-
depreciation given to some statement
of Clemenceau's for the purpose of
securing a favorable reaction in
France and acknowledgements. Dec
laratiOns that Austria was almost on
the point of beginning negotiations are
branded as false.

FRED DAT0 NOT
A PR0-GERMAN
SAYS SILVER
Strong Denial Is Forthcoming From
Friends of DatO That He Ever
Toasted the Kaiser or Celebrated
the Late Onrush of the Germans
in France.

For Fred Dato, and, in fact, all
prominent Lower Californians res
ident in Calexico and Mexicali, by Will
liam Clay Silver, manager of La Van
guardia, today denied that any "cel-
ebration of the German offensive" had
been held in Lower California, as
stated in a Los, Angeles newspaper
yesterday.
Silver stated that Dato is really
an American, living in Calexico, and
is far from being a friend of the Ger
man government. He has subscribed
to American war funds, and has
pledged a participation in ire Third
Liberty Loan. 1t is also denied that
Dato sumggled goods across the line.
Customs officials at Calexico prom
ise an investigation into the talk of
pro-Germanism, started in the GUS
toms office at Los Angeles.
