Critical Military Position of Germans From Vambrai
 Around to Soissons.
CONTINUES OF MUCH SPECULATIVECONCERN
Rains have Not Kept Allies From Advancing Nor Held
 Foes Resistance.
Undated War Summarv)

The critical military position of the Germans from the region west of Cambrai southward to the St Gobain massif, ond around this strong has. ton eastward to the territory north and northeast of Soissons. continues to hold the eyes of the world.
 For the moment the tactical maneu- vers of the belligerents in Artois and Flanders as we'll eastward of Sois- sons into Champagne. althO they still are of the greatest import, neces- sarllly continue to take second place in interest to those sectors which are filled with mOmentous possibj- lltles, where a successful move by the allies may bring a quick change m the entire German battlefront, or on the contrary. determined stand Dy the enemy with the large rein forcements in man and gun power ne is known to have assembled, may result for time at least, in stale- mate in the game which is being played by the allies to crack the already demoralized German line.
 Heavy Rains Don't Prevent.
 The heavy rains of the last few days have turned low lands through- out the fighting zone into quagmires but on those sectors of the high ground between Cambrai and Sois- sons the storms have not kept the British and French armies from nov ing forward
 Nor have they served to lessen the strength from the enemy resistance.
 Near GouzeaucOurt and Havrin- court the British have pressed on little further toward Cambrai. in the former region after having put down counter attacks by the Germans who endeavored to reclaim the high ground won by the British in Sundays fight ing.
 French Push Ahead.
 To the south the French from the district west of St. Quentin. southward to the western side of the St. Gobain forest have pushed eastward toward the Disc river, which they are virtually upon all along this front. with their Hanks now resting dangerously near both St. Quentin < and La Fere.
 St. Quentin now stands only a lit- tie more than three miles away. while Lafere is so closely encroached upon from the west and ontflanked fron, the north that seemingly it soon must fall
 Have Materially Aided.
 The maneuvers of the French have added materially to their program of~ turning the St. Gobain forest from the west and also the capture of St. Quentin and the French and Am- ericans who are fighting shoulder to shoulder northeast of Soissons con- tinue to carry out successfully a CO., related movement having the con- quest of the St. Gobain forest in view and also the outflanking of the Ger man position to the east
 In their latest endeavors the Franco-American forces have made some slight progress in the face of the extremely stubborn resistance of the enemy.
 French Tanks Gain Ground.
 Likewise in the sector east of Soi- ssOns the French and Americans have gained additional ground between the Vesle and Aisne rivers.
 Far to the north the British are so nearly upon Armentieres that a few more strides forward seemingly will place them in position to make the place theirs for the asking.

OLD GLORY HUT DEMONSTRATION
 OF FELLOWSHIP

LIVERPOOL, March 30. - Cor respondence of The Associated PreSs) -"This building is a symbol of the close bond of fellowship that exists between the peoples of the English speaking race," said the Lord Mayor of Liverpool in opening here this week the new "Stars and Stripes Hut" of the American Young Mems Christian Association. The new clubhouse, sit uated in Lord Street, IS both commo- dious in size and admirably equipped. The funds for its erection were pro- vided by both British and American residents.
 Liverpool has been very happy" said the Lord Mayor, "to have been host to so many American soldiers during the past few months. TEl ough this clubhouse we hope helccforth to he able to show our feelings toward these temporary visitors q litt!e more adequately than heretofore. { When the United States decided to throw her lot into the war, the Enten- te countries were filled With joy, and nowhere, 1 think was this feeling so abounding as in Liverpool. It was not merely friendship, howe CT, nor was it merely because of Ar.e 'ica's i'm measurable wealth and resources that we E. welcomed her. It was rather that for three years she had been in the position of an impartial jury in this conflict, and now she had given her verdict, lninfluenced by pressure, in favor of the cause for which we had been fighting
 R. w. Ewing, general secretary of the Young Mems Christian Associa tion responded. 'I beg leave to ex- press to you people of Liverpool, or behalf of all my countrymen of the United States, our gratitude for the kindly reception which you have gwen to the American troops on their arri- val in England. We almost fec that you have been too generous for Amer jeans, above all, do not expect that their young men shall have anything more than the young men of the other allied forces are getting We want to take our share, not only in he fighting but in all the suffering and privations which war inevitably entails. We trust that the comrade- ship and good fellowship which the war has awakened w.ll bring IS, cous- in nations, closer together for al time.
 ''The clubhouse which you are opel, ing for us today, will aim to deepen in the soldiers who visit it, their self restraint and self reliance, so that they may be able to face temptations and difficulties which are bound to come.'

 "As result of the false hopes held out by the Trotzky-Lenine regiEe, the Russian Church in America has been depleted of many members and priests" said Dr. Irvine. They went back tc Russia in expectation of receiv ing free land and other privileges not available in the United States.
 "There are not now, so far as l know, SIX Russian priests in the Amer ican Mission who were here when l was ordained in St. Nicholas Cathe- dral," he continued.

o'clock, originating apparently near
several barrels of paint. The building,
a one story steel structure, was soaked
in oil and gasolene, and when the work

to fill the whole shop.
Ordinarily about $50 men are en-

hour only about thirty were there.
They got out safely. The capacity of
the factory was about 1900 barrels q

Three alarms were sounded, but the
oil-fed flames mounted so swiftly that
the firemen were unable to save the
building. They confined the fire to that
structure, however. The loss is esti.
