BRITISH ENTLIUSlASIiC
;. Announcement That Americans Will
 Be Merged Is Welcomed.

With the British Army in France, April 3.-The announcement that American battalions are to be added to British divisions has created the greatest enthusiasm. The fact that such move was to be made had been known for some time by the command ing officers, who anticipate most im- portant results from it and accord the highest praise to the Americans for the attitude of self-sacrifice they have adopted in thus placing themselves under a foreign divisional command.
 This action means that for the time being the American officers and men may give up much in the way of pos sible promotion which they might se- cure were they fighting under their own command. The American troops are looked upon as being among the best men in the field and it is be- lieved that they will fall immediate ly into their niches, thereby swelling each British division affected.

FORCE, FORCE, T0 THE::
 UTMOST" SAYS FRI'EESIIDEEAl I'ESIDEEiAl
Accepts Gcrmany's Challenge in NaEle of Amcrica-' To Redeem WOrId"-RaYieWs l2,-
 eco Troops.

Baltimore, Md, April 6-President Wilson, at a great Liberty loan cele- Eration here tonight, gave Americas answer to the German drive on the western battle front; to the renewed propaganda for German-made resae, to all proposals to end the war before Germany is awakened from her dream of world dominion.
 The presidents answer wasc
 Force, force to the utmost, fe.ea without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force which shall make right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust
 A few hours be@ore the president spoke he had reviewed a division o. citizen soldiers, called only few months ago from the pursuits Of peace; now transformed into fighting men to carry the ideals of America to the battlefelds of Europe. At the moment, 100000 more of their kind d4l over lue lduI WSIC CSteUIaillS the opening of the third Liberty loan and the orders for mobilizing the first of the great army of a second million were going out to the country.
 Those were some of the physical facts which backed his words, which. after reviewing briefly the evidence that Germany seeks a peace for a world domination the president de clared:
 T accept the challenge. l know that you accept it. All the world shall know you accept it. It shall appear in the utter sacrifice and self forgetfulness with which we shall give all that we love and all that We have to redeem the world and make it fit for free men like ourselves to live in This now is the meaning of what we GO. Let everything that We say, my fellow countrymen every thing that we henceforth plan and accomplish, ring true to this response till the majesty and might of our concerted power shall fill the thought and utterly defeat the force of those who flout and misprize what We honour and hold dear"

AMBITIOUS PLANS 0F
 TIE KAISER ARE UPSET
Allies Position Better and FOch's Mili- tary Machine is Running SmoOth- ly, Declares War Depart
 ments Review.

Washington, April 7.-French and British ten2ciuy has ;upsct the am bilious plan oi the German high command for the battle of Picardy, says the War Departments weekly military review tonight, and now the enemy, determined to gain come sort of success at any cost, is throwing fresh forces into the battle in an eff fort to secure limited objectivcs. Be- cause of this the sitv,2tion is expected to remain uncertain for some time.
 General improvement i.l the strat- egic position of the allies is noted, and the review declares that under Gen real Foch the allied military machine is working smoothly and efficiently in 3tcmming the German assault. There is TO mention whatever of eLe American troops reported hurry ing to the frcHt to join the British and French, 3'o-gh the department aga.n mentions th4t several Ar2eri- can transport sections have taken an active part in the battle and that the Allor:cc aviation service is cv-ocer- aiiag with the British.
 Al the opolling of the third week of tho German offensive wo fi,:d. that the ene1ay is still fir short O. attain ing lis principal ot5octive3,' says ;, the review.
 i German PiaN Failed.
 j Tt is now evident that the German high command contemplated over ! time to close up t.e breach in the line | between the Disc 2ad the Sansoo and driving a wedge into the Franco Brit isi, forces.
 The enemy fully expected t. achieve Q Secision in the field in the cou,.a of one great battle. The sue cess of this plan depended on being able to obtain a break through the i British front and advancing so rapid ly tla-t neither the Frencn nor the tBpitish reserves could come up in time to close up the breach in the line and restore the order of battle.
 Evidence of prisoners tends to confirm that the enemy hoped to gain the line of the Somme by the evening of the first day of the offensive As a matter Of fact it took the Germans 10 days. to cover the ground they eX- pected to Cyerrun within 4S hours The stuboornness of British resistance and the severe casualties inflicted by them compelled the Germans to draw more heavily th,n they mad antici- pated cn their rererves.
 'The German high commend is HOW throwing fresh forces into battle in an effort to secure some of it's more limited objectives.
 Allies Running Smoothly.
 'Under the leadership of General Foch, the allied military machine i5 functioning with precise smoothness insuring greatest economy, harmony and efficiency in the use of all the forces now united in stemming the German assault. The morale of the llied troops remains high.
 '3The German offensive has not spent itself and owing to the de- termination Gisplayei by the enemy to gain some sort of a success at no matter what cost, the situation will continue uncertain for some time to come. However, the general strategic and tactical position of the allies is becoming more favorable

before, were at a disadvantage at the
start. Quick to learn they have all
been doing splendid shooting during
the last several weeks The authorities
are proud to say that with the com
ing of the Christmas holidays every
cadet in the institute is able to han
die his rifle like a regular soldier, OF
the cadets who shot the range at n.
