There is no Indication that the Ger
man high command will abandon its
plan of smashing the British army and
forcing a breach between II and the
French. Ludend0rff is increasing his
resources in every way possible and
Austria and Bulgaria have been called
on to supply troops for garrison duty
in order that the Germans may be sent
to the front. limitations such as have
appeared in some German papers that
the attempt to reach Paris VIII lbe
abandoned mean nothing. No doubt
there will be repeated great offenslves
throughout the summer, and the allies
are preparing to resist them to the ut
most, their intention being to main
tain their lines unbroken until Amer
lca's men are there In sufficient num-
bers to enable General Foch to do more
than resist. 1t is admitted that with
out our army the allies could not gain
military decision over the Germans
under existing conditions. How long
the German people win stand for the
slaughter of their men is another ques-
ton. From captured mail and the more
outspoken Of their newspapers 1t Is evil
dent they are becoming sickened by
the awful bloodshed but they prob
ably will continue submissive so long
as they think there is chance Of a
! final victory.

The movement of Americans to
France continues with increasing
swiftness and It Is the avowed In
tentlon of the war department to have
not less than 100000 men there by
the end of May. The administration
and the congressional leaders, except
ing such men as Kitchin now view the
situation comprehensively and agree
that no limit should be put on the size
of our army, as 1t Is likely as many as
100000 men will have to be placed
under arms within three years. A total
of about four millions will be available

Crowder and others believe II will be

ANALYSIS BEING MADE
OF TABLETS USED BY
DAVIS WATER POISONER

The hearing of limo Sandoval, the
Mexican arrested charged with at
tempting to poison the water supply
at Davis, will not be given until
Richard Hignight, deputy United
States marshal receives a report on
the analysis of the tablets which the
Mexican is charged with placing in
the water. Some of the tablets were
secured at the time of his arrest.
A soldier at Davis had caught the
man and telephoned to the marshals
Office here. Deputy Hignight told
him Deputy Edgar Key was on the
way from Wynnewood with another
prisoner and to meet him at the
train and turn over the Mexican to
him. The soldier travelled all the
way to Ardmore before finding Dep
uty Key and did not deliver the pris-
oner to him until after he had alight-
ed from the train here.
Wednesdays Ardmoreite story
about the arrest of Sandoval gave
Wynnewood instead of Davis as the
place at which he had attempted to
poison the water supply.

BRITISH OFFICIAL REPORT.

London. March 30.-The Germans

Mezieres, captured by the Ger

north of Mont Didier.

French holding the enemy on their
flank, General Foch will have full
scope for his Strategical powers.
The wings of the German salient
are its weak points and the Ger
mans failed in their first attempts to
strengthen them by capturing Arras
and crossing the Disc. As the Ger
mans press forward between Albert
and Mont Didicr, without widening
their wings simultaneously, their
position becomes more hazardous.
The region about ArraS and the line
of the Disc offer two positions from
which counter blow intended to
roll up one side of the German
wedge can be launched.
The situation is unchanged on the
other sectors in France and Italy.

NO MEATLESS DAYS
FOR 30-DAY PERIOD

Washington, March 30.-Suspen-
sion of the meatlcSs day regulations
for 30 days, beginning today, was
ordered last night by the food ad-
ministration in instructions tcIc-
graphed to all state food admins
traitors.
Temporary relaxation Of the re-
strictions was decided upon because
thousands OF hogs now coming into
the market has increased the meat
supply beyond the country's ship
ping and storage capacity. In a
statement announcing the order,
Food Administrator Hoover eX-
pressed confidence that the produc-
crs would not take advantage OF the
holiday to ask more than fair
prices and that the packers and re-
tailers will have sense enough to
realize that this is not to be a hol-
day OF high prices
"The very much oyernormal rtT
to markets of hogs due to supplies
damned back during the winter
months car shortage still continues
Mr.. Hoover said, and seems likely
to 60 on for another 30 days. After
this period, the seasonal shortage in
marketing will set in.
1T is a matter Of regret that the
extent OF our domestic storage ca
pacity the limited overseas and in
land transportation and port facili-
ties do not permit of saving and
moving the whole OF this temporary
and abnormal surplus to the allies
for use when this heavy killing sea-
son has passed. On the other hand

potatoes and the larger supplies OF

BATTLE SUMMARY

Fighting on the battle front be-
tween the Scarpe and the Disc hav-
ing diminished greatly, except be-
tween Albert and Mont Didier, al
lied forces are being made ready for
a counter blow against the Germans
whose strength has given numerous
indications of waning. General
Foch, who played a memorable role
in stopping the first German rush
toward Paris and the channel ports,
has been given command of the
British, French and American ar
mics in the present operation.
Repulsed in attempts to widen
their salient by pressing back the
northern and southern wings, the
Germans have driven forward in the
apex of their wedge toward Amicns
and are now astride the Somme
about II miles east of that impor-
tant point. Between the Somme and
the Avre the British have retired to
a line through Hamel, Marceloave
ana NelVllIe. uSt SOutn or Albert,
however, the British hold to the line
of the Ancre, which makes a salient
into the German line that may
prove dangerous to further enemy
advance.
The French have completely
checked the Germans west OF Mont
Didier and the enemy has not tried
to repeat his unsuccessful attempts
to force passage over the Oise east
OF Lassigny. Between Mont Didier
and Lassigny the French counter Of
fensive which took them into the
outskirts of Noyon continues.
General Foch's appointment to
the chief command not only brings
allied resources under one head but
indicates that the movement for a
strong counter movement probably
has arrived. With the allied re-
serves and American divisions fol
