The German peace drive towards
Amiens, Paris and the channel ports
is fast becoming a battle OF the ma
tions. The conflict opened with
British and German soldiers the ad-
versaries. Since then the French
and American armies have joined
with Field Marshal Haig's forces,
while Austrian and Bulgarian
troops are aiding the enemy. Ca
madam cavalry and Austrian infan-
try have been doing much Of the
fighting under the British flag dur
ing the last two days.
Americans Enter Battle.
Over the roads to the battle field
in motor trucks, and on loot. l0O,-
1000 American soldiers are moving
to Join the fight against the invad-
er and to drive him back. Ameri-
can troops are now under control
OF General Foch, the generalissimo,
but their destination in the fighting
area has not been disclosed. They
are seasoned troops and are report
ed as anxious to get into the fight.
The most intense fighting is prog
ressing south OF the Somme, where
attempt is being made by the Ger
mans to break the indomitablc
Franco British defense and reach
the Paris-Amiens railway line, or
Amiens itself. Unable to make
gains astride the Somme, the enemy
has made heavy attacks at other
points, but with no success. More
uil, the center of the fighting south
OF the Somme, is reported to have
changed hands four times and is
now held by British, Canadian and
French troops.
French Reclaim Towns.
Around Moutdidier, where the
battle line curves northward, the
French have reclaimed Ayencourt
and Monchel. Farther east, toward
Lassigny, in the direction OF Noyon,
the Germans have been pressed
back and a salient driven into the
enemy lines. 1t is in this region
that the Germans are now digging
it.
German attempts to force a pass
age of the Oise at Channy were
crushed by the French, who wiped
out an enemy force which tried TO
establish bridgehead on the south
ern ank of the river.
North of the Somme where the
Germans were thrown back with
severe losses by the British Sat
urday, the enemy made no further
attempts Sunday, and the fighting
activity has been moderate.
Hindenburg's Boast.
If Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
intended to spend April l in Paris,
he must have meant some other
year than 1918. His troops still are
more than so miles from the French
capital and in eleven days of fight
ing and under tremendous losses,
they have not even reached the
Paris-Amiens railway, the principal
route from northern France to
Paris. Indeed, they are getting
ready to defend themselves against
the Anglo-French-AmericaD forces
under General Foch. The boastfuI
utterances of the German leaders
much in evidence in the early days
of the present campaign, also have
ceased.
American patrols continue active
northwest of Toul. The German
lines are under heavy omabrdment
Marked activity behind the enemy
lines shows no signs of letting up
but the Germans have not attempt
ed any attacks

in North Italy the artillery firing

pOA
Germany's great drive into the al
lied lines in northern France seems
virtually at a standstill today. Her
first great onrush appears to have
been stemmed, with large gains Of
territory scored, but with final vic
tory no nearer in sight, and her re-
sources in men and material de-
pleted.
French and British troops beat
back the enemy last night in his des-
perate efforts to advance toward
Amiens and to push out from the
Montdidier salient. Slight progress
in the drive for Amiens along the
Luce and Avre valleys is the only
forward movement reported any
where along the line, despite the al
most incessant Teutonic attacks,
and at one point at least the enemy
was pushed back.
The most determined assaults in
this effort seem to have been in the
neighborhood Of Hangard-en-San-
terre, where the Franco British
troops met the assaulting waves. A
British counter attack paved the
way for an allied victory after the
combined forces had broken up the
German assault.
French Follow Up Advantage.
The French gallantly followed up
the advantage and the village was
captured. The setback for the Ger
mans here was most pronounced, as
they were established west Of Han
gard-en-Santerre and were endeav-
oring to debuuch from this position,
within 4 scant te nmilcs Of the out
skirts OF Amiens, They have now
been pushed back we'll beyond that
limit.
Farther south, irNthe Montdidier
region, the enemy made 4 deter
mined attempt to capture GriveS-
ness, and enlarge the salient he had
pushed in here, west of the Ayre.
His powerful thrusts, however, de-
livered virtually without interval,
were broken up by the French, who
punished their German assailantS
badly and retained possession of the
village.
To the north OF the Somme the
British held their lines intact. The
Germans made two attacks upon the
British positions in the western out
skirts OF Albert, but each time met
with a respulSe.

.HABEAS CORPUS
WRIT HEARD

The habeas corpus petition of C..
M. Buckley wanted in Wichita,
Kan, on charge Of murder and
arrested with his vile, Louise Bick-
ley, at Writ by Bud Ballew, was
heard in the district court this fore
noon. ]. NJ. Zickafoose, director
of public safety, and L. +. Fitzpat-
rick, marshal of the Wichita city
court, came after the Bickleys. They
said 4 taxi driver named +. w.
Stolicker was killed in Wichita on
the night Of January 10 and rob-
bed Of $500 The defendant, c. w.
Buckley, and another man are charg-
ed with the crime.
They arrived here last night arm
ed with Governor Williams war
rant, issued on the requisition from
Kansas. The state introduced this.
James Mathers, appearing for the
defendant, sought to prove an alibi.
Horace Kendall, John Dyer, !. w.
Booth, Bobby Houston, Ruby Reed,
Mrs. Rothwell, the last three named
being rooming house people at
Writ; Lillian St. Peters, of the
Gladys hotel; James Carroll,
I"Dusty' Hendricks, X. /. McFar-
land and Joe Willard were called as
witnesses for the petitioner. 1t was
sought to show that the Bickleys
arrived at Writ January II, and
/ eft January 10. There was some
lirect evidence that they were in
Writ January 10, the date OF the
,rime in Wichita. Most OF the evi-
lence was conflicting and many OF
he witnesses had the dates mixed.
Prisoners Are Held.
The court held that the only thing
for him to consider was the prob
ability Of the petitioner being able
to have been at the scene of the
crime at the time it was committed,
and the burden of proof being upon
the petitioner, he did not think he
had sufficiently established the al
legations necessary to be proven to
release the prisoner and he there
fore refused the writ of habeas cor
pus and remanded the prisoners ia
the custody of the officers. Mr.
Mathers gave notice of appeal to
the court OF criminal appeals and
asked time to prepare the record and
the court said he would not imme-
diately order the prisoners turned
over to the Kansas officers and the
case was in this state when the
court adjourned at noon.
Marshal Fitzpatrick said the
Buckley woman owned a rooming
house in Wichita and that while
they were at Writ, visiting Mrs
Rothwall, somebody raided the
rooms. He said that Buckley ha;
been advised that it was Stolickel
who did it and that he came tC
Wichita at once. He said Stolickei
had $500 on him when he was in
duced to go about three miles il
the country and when his body wa,
found later it showed he had beer
murdered and the money taker
from him.

Washington, April l.-Germany
has staked its fortunes ON the spring
campaign, says the war depart
ment's review Of the military situa-
ton today, and the allies and the
United States must be prepared for
fresh attacks at new points ii the
Teutons fail to achieve victory in
the present fighting.
"As the German higher com
mand,' continues the statement, is
apparently determined to force a de-
cision or prove to its own satisfac-
ton that it is unable TO do so, we
must be prepared in case OF his fail
ure to obtain major results in the
present theater OF operations, that
he will attempt further offensive as
saults in adjacent areas
But despite the successes gained
by the Germans says the review,
the enemy has been unable to
force a decision, and 50 long as the
allies maneuver with the consistent
unity and fexibility which they have
shown during the engagements OF
the past week, so long will victory
elude the enemy
The placing OF American re-
sources unreseryedly at the disposal
OF the allies is noted and the state
ment announces that such of our
troops as have received sufficient
training will assume a share Of the
burden now SO yaliantly borne by
the French and British armies
The review also mentions that
American troops are taking their
places in other parts OF the line, thus
relieving veteran French units for
emergency service.

without distinction of race or relig-
lous opinion in suppotr of what is i'm
really a common service.
This point of view is sustained by
the necessity, which the war h. forc-
ed upon US, of limiting our appeals
for funds in such way that two or
three comprehensive campaigns shall,
take the place of series of independ-
ent calls upon the generosity of the
country.
Will you not, therefore, as chairman
of the commission on training camp
activities, be good enough to request
the societies in question to combine
their approaching appeals for funds
in single campaign, preferably dur
ing the week of November IL, so that
in their solicitation of funds as we'll
as in their work in the field, they may
act in as complete cooperation and
fellowship as possible?
In inviting these. organizations to-
give this new evidence of their patri-
otic cooperation, / wish it distinctly
understood that their compliance with
this request will not in any sense inn
ply the surrender on the part of any
of them of its distinctive character

Sept. 8, 1918.
My dear Mr. Fosdicl:
May I not call your attention to a
matter which has been recently en-
gaging my thought not little?
The war department has recognized
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, the Young Women's Christian
association, the National Catholic War
council, the Knights of Columbus, the
Jewish Welfare board, the War Camp
Community service, the American Lii
brary association, and the Salvation
army as accepted nstrumentalities
through which the men in the ranks
are to be assisted in many essential
matters of recreation and morale.
1t was evident from the first. and
has become increasingly evident, that
the services rendered by these agen-
cies to our army and to our allies are
essentially one and all of kind and
must of necessity, if we'll rendered,
be rendered in the closest cooperation.
1t is my judgment, therefore, that we
shall secure the best results in the
matter of the support of these agen-
$, if these seven societies will unite
their forthcoming appeal for funds,
in order that the spirit of the coun-
try in this matter may be expressed

This relaxation of the restrieti ions placed on
