Action.

With American Army in France,
May l3 (By the Associated Press,
A big enemy ammunition dump at
Cantisny was fired by the American
artillery this morning At the same
time two fires were started i'm Mont
didier. followed by numerous ex-
plosions.
The weather continues misty and
rainy. There was no infantry action
today and only intermittent machine
gun and rifle fire. The position of the
Germans IL becoming more and more
intolerable while the Americans are
entrenching their positions more firm
y. Any hopes the enemy might have
had OF breaking through in this sec
tor are diminishing.
The Americans take nothing for
granted. but return the enemy fire
two To one, which Is believed To set -
new pace I'm this sector What ap.
pears TO trouble the Germans most is
that the Americans never turn back
when the enemy uses gas. They give
him a double dose OF the same with
everything else the enemy tries.

dress I'm Washington.

Washington. May l3.-T. II. O'Con.
nor. the Irish Nationalist leader. in
an address here tonight at n meeting
attended by many members OF con
gress. declared that his party is in
fiexibly convinced of the justness Of
the allied cause and would press for
vigorous prosecution OF the war un-
Ill Germany has been completely de-
fe6ted.
Mr.. OConnor explained that his
criticism OF the Irish conscription act
was not inspired by any hostility to
the British people but resulted from
his belief that II would weaken and
not strengthen England in the con-
duct OF the war. With the establish
ment OF an Irish parliament he be-
hcved that there would be n change
OF sentiment In Ireland and that this
and not conscription was the bes'
means OF increasing the flow of Irish
soldiers to the front.
