SEC'Y BAKER SAYS
 FIGHT 10 A FINISH
MAKES CALL FOR RENEWED SUP. PORT OF WAR-CONFERS
 WITH PRESIDENT.

Washington. Secretary Baker. back from a seven weeks trip to Flu rope, called on- the American people for renewed support of the war. The secretary saw President Wilson dur ing the day and reported on his ob- servations abroad.
 He outlined to the president and heads of the governments war mak- ing agencies the war situation in Flu rope and attended the regular weekly conference of the department chiefs with the president, giving his observa, tions gained on his trip to the western front and to the European capitals.
 "The big thing for America to do is to support the war-support it financially and with firm belief. The right arm of America is in France. IL is barred and ready to strike. The rest of the body is here in the United States and it must support the arms. This support should include subscrip- tions to Liberty loans, as well as mOr- al support of high confidence"
 "One rarely meets an American sol
 
 dier in France who does not smile and wave his hat" MT. Baker said. "The only sad Americans there are those who fear they may have to come home before the job is done.'
 "The information I went to get, l got," MT. Baker said. His trip, he said, would bring closer and more under standing cooperation between the War Department and army. As for the secretary himself, he feels that he is now equipped with the means of judging and approaching the kind of cooperation needed"
 The impression one gets in France is one of determination, confidence and enthusiasm, said MT. Baker.
 "The American, British and French armies are filled with this tremendous | spirit and the civilian populations show the same feeling" he said Every one is quite determined to see the joD through and quite confident oi | the outcome.
 "So far as the work of our own
 forces is concerned, it gives one the | impression of magnitude, thorough | ness and speedy accomplishment. Nc I hours of work are being observed and | there are no limitations on labor. 4 l glimpse of the tremendous extent oi the American supply facilities, line;
 of communications, warehouses an( l numerous schools for men and officer.

GERMANS CAPTURE
 TOWN OF BAILLEUL
RAILWAY CENTER OF HAZE. BRUOCk OBJECTIVE OF HUNS a--FiGHTING IS DESPERATE.

New York.-Germahy' mighty eff fort on the battlefield of Flanders has won new successes. According to the latest reports the important strategic towns of Bailleul, Wylverg- hem and Wytschaete are in German hands and, more important still, the Teutons have carried large part of Messines ridge by storm.
 Probably there has been no more bitter struggle during the war than that waged along the battle line through the towns of Bailleul, Neuve Englise, Wylverghem and Wytschaete. Neuve Eglise was taken but Bailleul held out until fresh masses of Ger man troops were hurled into the fray and charged repeatedly on the tired defenders. The same story might be told of Wylverghem and Wytschaete while the battle for Messines ridge must have been frightful in it's inten- sity.
 The successes of the Germans in the last day have an important bear ing on the campaign on the northern battle front. If they are continued there must be a British retirement from Ypres and possibly for some ting of the railroad passing through Hazebruock would be still more seri- ous for the British.
 So important are the points won by the Germans that the British must be expected to counter-attack at once in an effort to sweep the invaders back into the lowlands, once more. All accounts of the battle along this line speak of the small British forces which attempted to withstand the at tacks by heavy legions of Teutons, which were brought up fresh for the assault.
 In spite of reports from the Amer ican front that German attacks have been utter failures a report from Ber- lin via Amsterdam says that the American positions near St. Mihiel ! were taken by storm by the Germans ! who held them against determined counter-attacks. It is probable that the German report deals with the bat tie in which the Americans admins 1 tered sound beating to special shocl, troops brought up by the Germans to take the American positions. The Germans in Finland are ad l vancing east of Helsingfors and arg 1 encountering little if any resistance. 1 Ten German trawlers have beeu sunk in the Cattegat, the marrow i straight between Jutland and Norway l by British fleet. The survivors ol the trawlers' crews were rescued.
