FL PASO BALL PARK
 NOW WAR GARDEN

FL PASO.-Kaffir corn grows where second base used to be, fri jole beans twine around the home plate and a runner between first and second bases would get tangled up in the cantaloupe vines at the Washington baseball grounds. The diamond at the big municipal park was converted into a war garden early in the spring by Park Com missioner John w. Fisher, who had the ball grounds plowed under and prepared for cultivation The school boys of the city undertook the planting and tending of crops and it was announced at the last meeting of the city school board that the boys cleared $500 on their war garden. The boys had an advantage over other boys in the ctiy as the water for growing crops at the Washington park war garden is ob- tained from the main irrigation canal which passes near the park and the water cost them nothings.

Vilhjalmar Stefansson, the Cana dian explorer, recently passed thru Juneau enroute to Ottawa to report upon the result of his Arctic ex- plorations. He will stop at Victoria and then go to Wynward, Saskatch- evan, where his mother, brother and sister live, where he will spend a few days before proceeding to the Canadian capital. MT. Stefansson said he had had a very hard time recovering from an attack of typhoid fever contracted at Herschel Island and developed while he was enroute from that place to the Yukon. Three of his five comrades who contracted the disease died of it.

MARCH OUTLINES
 WAR SITUATION
 ON WEST FRONT
German Retirement Continues And Allied Troops Continue to
 Make Gains Everywhere.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-General March, chief of staff of the Ameri- can army, in speaking of the mili- tary operations on the Western front, said that the much talked of Hindenburg line was now entirely behind the Allies, who are continu- ing their eastward advance and pressing the enemy hard, without giving him the slightest opportunity for rest, in accordance with the plan of campaign laid down by Marshal Foch, commander in chief of the Allied armies.
 The retirement of the German forces on the Belgian coast district is increasing in speed, the general said, and during the past four days the Germans have evacuated over eight hundred square miles of Bel gian territory.
 The general retirement of the German armies from invaded terri tory, which started last week, on sixty mile sector between Disc and Argonne, spread during the week, he said, until now it affects all but fifteen miles of two hund- red and fifty-mile front from the coast to the Mouse.
 The attacks made recently oppo- site Douai by combined force of British and American troops carried their line to some hastily constructed German defense works following the Sensee canal and the marshes in that neighborhood. No attempts by the combined forces, to cross this barrier have been reported yet.

MUCH SLUSH ICE
 IS RUNNING NOW

Much slush ice was noticed in the Tanana river today, giving indica- tions of the nearness of the freezeup.
 Arrivals from down river report that the Kantishna river is throwing a great deal of ice, rendering navi- gation of the Panama below the mouth of the Kantuhna almost i'm possible. The launch Ram, coming up from Panama, had great diff culty in making her way through the slush ice, and the mail launch which was few hours behind her, is reported to have turned back and made for Hot Springs.
 It is thought that the slush ice will catch Roy Lund, who left here with the mails to connect with the up-bound launch, and that he will have to winter his boat at Hot Springs.
 Reports from up river indicate that a large quantity of slush ice is being thrown by Wood river.
 The Big Cinema river, emptying into Cinema slough above Fairbanks is also contributing in large meas ure to this slush ice.
 Fred Douse of the launch Victory announced last night that today's trip would be his last for the season.

JAP CONSUL PUTS
 BAN ON k|MONO

HONOLULU.-R. Moroi, consul general of Japan, has forbidden his countrymen in Honolulu to wear kimonos on the streets. To enforce his order he has had the sheriff swear in M. Nishigaya, an attache of the consulate, as deputy and it will be the latter's duty to arrest Japanese men who appear on the streets in kimonos, on a charge of wearing improper clothing.
 Those who still cling to the Xii mono after the first warning will be denied all consular privileges, such as permission to bring relatives or picture brides" here from Japan, according to Mr. Moroi. Japanese women will be allowed to continue wearing kimonos in public, as their mode of dress is not held to be offensive.
 MT. Moroi explained his order as being part of campaign he is waging to induce his people in Honolulu to adopt American styles. "I believe that when one is in Rome one should do as the Romans do," said MT. Moroi. "Men who cling to the native dress of Japan are apt to be careless in their man. ner of wearing it. The kimono as worn by Japanese reminds Euro peans and Ameriacns of a night gown"

WITH THE ALLlES.-1n com bined assault against the Germans in the region to the east of the Selle river, the American tanks com menced the action and easily went through the barb wire entanglements paving the way for the infantry following in the wake of the tanks. The Germans kept up hot fire on the tanks but did not succeed in stopping any one of them. The infantry, following up the tanks, were met by German marines, who gave them a very hard fight. The slaughter on both sides was heavy. The fight was won by the Allies, who compelled the German marines to give ground.
 Bridges Built.
 American engineers, working un- der a very heavy machine gun fire, succeeded in throwing bridges across the river to enable the Allied troops to continue their advance.

Submarining to Continue Until Armistice Terms Reached.
 Says Danish Newspaper.

COPENHAGEN.-The Politiken, one of the leading Danish news papers, says that in her reply to President Wilson's note, the Imperial German government will deny Will sons accuracy in his accusations re- garding cruelties perpetrated by the Germans.
 It also declares that submarining cannot stop until an armistice agree ment has been reached.
