bodies as a protest against conscrip-

keep the plants running. In this case
it appears to be nobody's private inter-
est to oppose the demonstration.
The railways did not attempt to op-

continuance of traffic, with the state
ment that they were not responsible

was no means of transportation avail

Huns on VerQe
of fNeW Attack:
Allies Prepared

| Great Britain-s armies in conjunction
with the French are preparing for the
next German blow on the western battle
front, now momentarily expected, and the
British navy has given new evidence oi
aggressive activity in a naval raid on the
German submarine bases on the Belgian
coast. Five cruisers Of an obsolete typ<
with their concrete burdens were rur
aground and blown up by their crews.
The exploit was attempted. apparently

Feeling Out Adversaries.
German raids on both the northern

enemy is feeling out his adversaries

heavier it is likely to be.
1t is not improba BILE that the Germans
may attack simultaneously the British
lines In Flanders and those directly

the Arras sector for a month. and his
line south of Albert has fought of
