MUCH DEPENDS .ON
 THE yPRES SECTOR
If the British Hold There They Have the Germans in Difficult Situation May Strengthen British Line.

Washington, April 17.-For the moment the German drive at the Brit ish line has been localized on the sec tor running from Bailleul around to the eastward of Ypres, and military men here are watching with eager ness the British counter-attacks on this narrow front where further enemy successes probably would mean the evacuation of a large stretch of territory.
 While the British official statement that the lines east of Ypres have been withdrawn and readiusted on a new front, did not disclose the posi- ton of the new line, it is known that the general trend of the British lines on this northern flank of the great battle now is represented by almost a right angle. Troops which faced due east only week ago are now fighting on front that extends in general east and west direction, and they are facing south. From the lines to the east of Ypres, the British have been swung back on a 12-mile front, with the Ypres positions as the hinge of the movement. That hinge now forms broad salient into the German lines which they are trying to fatten out.
 Should the German effort fail it is believed here the British will be left in a strong strategic position. By a counter7attack from Ypres they might reconquer all the ground lost in this northern extension of the battle front. The desperate nature of the attacks aimed at the capture of Ypres indi- cates the belief of the German com manders that their positions will be untenable unless they can widen it in that direction.
 Press dispatches today told of the growing fury of bombardment along the whole line. No explanation of the purpose of the gun fire was made. It was regarded here, however as pos sibly significant. The allied comman- der in chief, General Foch, may have ordered the bombardment preliminary to counter-stroke.

HCH1 TO 4 FINISH,
 SAYS SEC'Y BAKER
,..s Cau For Renewed Sup Mahst of War-Declares Amer isan I Soldiers Have Made Good in France.

w,sbinoton. April 17.-Secretary Baker, back from seven weeks 'rip D' r.rone today called on the Ameri- - noonle for renewed support of the r m The secretary saw President w;lson u during the day and reported ,n his observations abroad.
 He outlined to the president and heads of the governments war mak- ing agencies the war situation m Furone and attended the regular woeklv conference of the department .h;ofs with the president, giving his observations gained on his trip to the ,,,ostern front and to the European capitals. The American soldier has made good in France. Secretary Baker today as- sured newspaper men who met him at the War Department. The French and British authorities are uniform in their praise of the courage, endurance and soldierly qualities of our men.
 4The 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. It 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- tons to Liberty Loans, as well as moral support of high confidence"
 The condition of the American troops, the secretary said, is excel lent. They all are we'll physically and "well in every other way" their spirits are high, their behavior ad- mirable and their relations with the French and British cordial and sym pathetic, he said.
 "One rarely meets an American soldier 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, got,' Mr Baker said. His trip, he said, would bring closer and more un- derstanding cooperation between the War Department and army. As for the secretary himself, he feels that he IS now equipped with the means of ludglng and appreciating the kind of cooperation needed"
 The impression one gets in France IS one of determination, confidence and enthusiasm, said Mir. Baker.
 The American, British and French armies are filled with this tremendous spirit and the civilian populations

LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT
 FOR THE COUNTIES

Little Rock, April 18.-The commit tee on counties and townships of the constitutional convention is consider ing today proposal drafted by sub committee of three, providing for a system of local self government for the counties.
 It is provided that the counties shall be divided each into three dis tricts, and county councilman shall be elected from each, who, with the county judge, shall constitute a county council
 This county council shall have orig inal, sole and exclusive jurisdiction in all matters of county local legislation and the administration of all the finan cial and internal affairs of their res pective county, including the levying, assessing, collection and disbursement of all taxes collected in the county.
 No county now established shall be reduced to less than 500 square miles in area, nor less than 5000 inhabi- tants, provided this shall not apply to the counties of Clay, Lafayette, Pope and Johnson, nor prohibit changing the line between Pope and Johnson. In forming new counties, no boun-

London, April17 The greater part of Wytschaete and probably all of it is in the hands of the British, Mai Gen. F. E. Maurice, chief director of military operations at the war office, announced today
 Counter attacking successfully at Meteron and south of that place the British have driven back the Germans halfway to Bailleul. They have ad- vanced and improved their lines in the direction of Neuve Eglise.
 "The news last night and today is better" says Gen. Maurice. While l am not able to say definitely that Wytschaete is entirely in our hands, we hold the greater part and probably the whole of it.
 "As mentioned in Field Marshal Haig's communique, we made with drawal to new line in the Ypres salient. The withdrawal was decided upon on Sunday. It was carried out partly on Sunday night, and complet- ed on Monday. It is regrettable military necessity which forces us to give up ground which we won at such heavy cost. On Tuesday the Germans were still shelling trenches which we had left the day before.
 q returned last night from France" said Gen. Maurice at the outset of his talk with the Associated Press. "The situation yesterday was very anxious. The Germans had taken Bailleul, Met eren and Wytschaete and had brought four fresh divisions int action against us. If the enemy could have maintained that pressure there looked to be vital danger to the ridge of heights which includes Mount Kem- mel, and which is the backbone of our defense on the northern portion of the battle front"
 "But the news last night and today is better"
 Gen. Maurice then referred to the successful British counter-attack n the neighborhood of Wytschaete and to the British withdrawal in the Ypres salient, and continued:
 Preparations for shortening our line in the Ypres salient were made some time ago and the decision to carry it out was reached before the fall of Bailleul, owing to the danger offered to our positions in the salient from a flanking movement. The with drawal was not dictated or governed by the adverse course of events around Bailluel, but by more general considerations.

show the same feeling, The said. "Ev- cry one is quite determined to see the job through and quite confident of 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. No hours of work are being observed and there are no limitations on labor. A glimpse of the tremendous extent of the American supply facilities, lines of communications, warehouses and numerous schools for men and off, cers reminds one of a gigantic bee hive filled with energetic men,"
 Secretary Baker said he had been interested to note the extraordinary extent to which American newspapers carry the war news. European news papers, he said, were immeasurably behind those of this country in that respect.
 MT. Baker declined to discuss the drive on the west front He said the situation had been aptly covered by Premier Lloyd George when he stated that alternate periods of cheerfulness and anxiety must be endured for some time to come.
