Armies.

Washington, March 29.-In state
ment tonight Major General March,
acting chief of staff, assured the Amer
lean people that there is no cause for
alarm in the advances made by the
Germans in the great battle now
raging in Picardy, and expressed
complete confidence in triumph Of the
allied arms.
General March said: Whatever
may be the present ground held by

allies will see it through and will
win."
Late tonight the general still was
without word from General Pershing

the opposing forces yesterday, as de-
scribed in the British and French
official statements.

Announcement by Field Marshal
Haig tonight that the German war
machine along the whole British
front had been beaten off today with
heavy loses, gave new zest to specu-

sault officers feel certain will not
long be delayed.
War department officials generally
appeared to be satisfied that sub
stantial American forces would enter
the battle lines with the French when
the signal for the counter blow is
given.
Among the new divisions identified
on the German front the War depart
ment is advised are four which have
been brought back from Russia.

TONY DEBATE and
HANFORD ACCEPT
Terms IN OMAHA
Shortstop From St. Paul and
0utfieIder From Richmond
Sign Rourke Contracts;
Both Stars.

Clyde DEBATE, inielder, and Charles
Hanford, ,outhelder, have signed
Omaha base bali club contracts, ac-
cording to announcement by Manager
Bill Jackson.
DEBATE comes from the St. Paul
club. He was in the Western league
with Topeka two years ago and made
a good impression with Omaha fans
during his engagements In this city.
He is a fast fielding shortstop and a
good hitter.
DEBATE went TO the big show from
Topeka and he was considered such
a good prospect the St. Louis Browns
and the Detroit Tigers got into
fight over his services. St. Louis had
possession and kept him until a Ma
tional commission decision was made.
Detroit received the verdict and De-
tate accordingly was sent to the
Tigers. The Tigers shipped him to
St.1Paul shortly afterwards.
Apparently. the scrap over his
services had bad effect on DEBATE, tor
he began to slip and St. Paul offered
to trade him and Boardman, south.
paw hurler, to Omaha for Marty
krug.
Krug Joins Army.
Then Louisville refused to give
waivers on Boardman and the deal
was held up. And now Marty krug
has advised that he is about to join
the army and will not report to St.
Paul or any place else this year. So
that deal was called off entirely.
But St, Paul released DEBATE to
Omaha anyhow, so Jackson has a
star shortstop for his inheld.
DEBATE is only youngster lie is
an Italian and his nickname is Tony.
Jackson believes he will be star in
the Western this year as he was two
years ago with Topeka and that he
will earif another trial under the big
tent.
Hanford Ex-Fed.
Hanford is veteran outhelder and
an ex-Federal. He comes from Rich
mond of the now defunct Interna-
tional league.
In all his career, Hanford has play
ed less than Class AA ball only once.
That was two years, ago when he
played the last part of the season
under Jackson at Peoria and helped
Peoria win a flag.
Haniord was one of the first play
ers to jump to the Feds and he was
regular in thai organization all dur
ing its short career. He. is a long
slugget and a fancy outhelder and
Jackson says he viii be one of the
best id the league this year.
