"Germany to Force Decision in
PicardyS

Washington, April 5-The German
high command intends to force de-
cision on the Picardy battlefront. That
is the Interpretation placed by Amer
lean army experts on the renewal of
fighting there. The fact that the Ger
mans have brought their big guns up
all along the front to support their
advanced lines means further desper-
ate fighting, these experts say. That
Germany was able to do this, in face
of all the Allied guns and the handi-
cap of rain-soaked territory, indicates,
they say, that she again has brought
to the front great numbers of re-
serves
1t is believed here that there is
direct connection between the renew
al of the battle and the announced
speech which DR.. Richard Won Kauhl-
mann. the German foreign minister, is
about to make. This speech is said
by Amsterdam cables to have been
planned by the kaiser and his advisers
and is expected to follow the lines in
dictated by Count Czernin, the Aus
trian foreign minister, in his recent
speech. 1t will mark the launching
of another German peace movement
which, officials here say, will receive
no attention in this country. AS
matter of fact 1t is considered certain
that President Wilson, in his address
in Baltimore, tomorrow night, will

Complete Failure.

London, April 5-The Germans this
morning attacked the British forces
on a wide front from Dernancourt, q
few miles south OF Albert, TO Moyen-
neville, north OF the Somme, accord
ing to a statement published by the
Evening Standard
The chief points OF attack, the
newspaper says, were Dernancourt,
Menin, Beaumont-Hamei, Briegury
Moynneville.
The Germans were repulsed with
heavy losses except at Dernancourt,
where they made slight gain.
There has been no attack south Of
the Somme so far today, the state
ment says.
Our difficulties and those Of the
enemy are fairly obvious" says the
Standard. 1--WE are suffering from a
very heavy blow dealt to General
COUGHS army. The enemy, on his
side, finds that the salient created
through that local success is too mar
row for his purpose. A good many
people no doubt experienced certain
disappointment that no great reaction
on the part of the Allies followed the
exhaustion of the German effort. 1t
should be remembered that the battle
is only in its earliest stages and moth
ing would please the enemp common
ders better than a premature en-
ployment of the reserves"

Barlow woke up when he saw the

two shots over his head to scare him,

that Henry XIV had figured among

eve ought to build 10000 of them at once, - said Henry Ford,
referring to the two-man tanks, as we sat in the private Ford theater
at Detroit watching one of the tanks perform through the medium
of a motion picture film.
The tank looks like a cross between N elephant and a mule.
The Germans r welcome to any information this comparison may
give them. When it runs it is as comical as a bear. Its antics are
convulsing. 1t is little, but strong. 1t tears up wire fences as if
they were straw. 1t can stand on its nose or it's tail. 1t can roll over

1t can turn so quickly that it keeps a lively man very active lodging
it. 1t can leap bitches, climb a slippery surface at an angle of 10
degrees. butt trees and stone walls, roll over sidewise and land on it's
feet without injury. 1t is SO light that if it gets snagged a dozen
soldiers can set it right.
Thinking of the open fighting now going on in France with the
heavy German artillery far in the rear, l couldn't help wondering
what chance infantrymen scattered or in mass would have with some

Mr.. Ford between chuckls over the comic antics of the steel monster.
sThis war is a war of industrial production. The armies at the front
only register the results of activities in the factories. 1t is the kind
of war in which we excel. My idea is to make unlimited quantities
of every kind of machine and implement of warfare. We ought not
to put a limit on anything. We can build 1000 aircraft to the Ger

more we prepare the less we shall require. 1t costs money, but it is
