STATE OF SIEGE
PROCLAIMED AT
PRAGUE, BOHEMIA
Long Live Wilson, Clemen-
ceau and LloydGeorge"
Shout Czechs and Slavs.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, May 20.-A state of siege
has been proclaimed at Prague, the
Bohemian capital, by the police and
the military garrison has been rein
forced.
These counter mea sures, according
to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Zurich followed demonstrations
of an anti-German character in which
Czechs and Jugo-Slavs paraded through
the streets shouting: Long live Will
son, Clemenceau and Lloyd-George!"
At performance at the Bohemian
national theatre speeches violently at
tacking Germany were delivered and
the renewal of the alliance between
Germany and Austria Hungary was de-
nounced. Several deputies addressed
the crowd urging resistance to the end
and the sacrifice of wealth and blood
for Bohemia.
The theatre was then closed and
rioting occurred in the streets out
side. The Jugo-Slavs who have par
ticipated in the Bohemian festivities
were ordered to leave the city. Crowds
singing patriotic songs accompanied
them to the railway station.

mans apparently are awaiting the re-
turn Of the offensive spirit among
some Of the best divisions, severely
tried during the first stages of the Of
fensive before the re-opening opera
tionS.
Large numbers OF their units lost a
considerable portion Of their electives
In the heavy lighting In Pfcardy and
Flanders. and, despite the fact that
the ranks have been filled immediate
ly from depots in the rear, strong i'm
pressions Of the terrific ordeal through
which the passed are still retained by
them The German command knows
this perfectly well, and therefore, is
holding back as long as possible be-
fore attacking.
It seems to be indicated clearly that
the objective of the Germans when
they do commence heavy fighting
again will be q desperate effort to di-
vide the allied armies by assaulting
their lines of communication.
The allies. however, are well pre-
pared for eventualities. The Ameri-
cans are working in the greatest har-
mony with both the French and the
British and the most complete conf
dence reigns among officers and men
in all the allied armies.

l.
Significance may attach to the re-
ports the official statements are now
carrying of heavy artillery fire in the
sector between Arras and Albert,
which comprises the northerly contin.
uation Of the Somme battle front.
London today thus announces a con.
siderable increase in the German artil.
lery activity between Albert and Buc.
quoy, ten mile front covering about
half the distance between Albert and
Arras.
Similarly the German official state
ment of yesterday reported the British
guns busy along the entire Albert.
Arras front where the German batter.
les were subjected to violent fire
1t is along this line that many Of
the military observers are predicting
that the expected German blow will
be struck
Stands in Way Of Huns.
What is known as the Arras front,
is standing in the way of a further
German advance toward the coast OF
the Franco-British line Of communi.
cation. By cutting these lines at i'm.
portant points the enemy apparently
hoped to divide the armies.
The reduction Of the Arras salient
by mighty blow would carry the
Germans far toward Doulens. 18 miles
north of Amiens and about 13 miles
west OF the present fighting line. Cap
ture Of this valuable junction point
would badly disrupt the allied com.
municating line and such an operation
would almost inevitably carry Amiens
also Into enemy possession.
Against such stroke the allies are
reported to have forces heavily mass.
ed and to be confidently awaiting the
result of possible attack In this
quarter.
Huns Lack Spirit.
Good weather prevails along the
fronts in Flanders and Picardy but
the enemy has yet shown no disposi-
tion to take advantage of it. Indica-
tions are that the Germans may ex-
tend the fighting front further south
and east along the Aisne into the
Champagne. 1t is thought they may
strike south Of Laon seeking to gain
the attention of General Foch and his
reserve army while their real effort is
made further north in an attempt to
separate the British-French armies.
Meanwhile British raiding actively
grows livelier. In successful opera
tion between the Ancre and Somme
rivers east of Amiens. Australian
troops have occupied Vile Sur Ancre
and captured $50 prisoners.
There is increased local fighting on
the Italian 'front.' especially in the
mountains in the western Tretino
Austro-Hungary troops have attempt
ed attacks in the Mantello and Adam
clio regions, but we're driven back. In
the Giudicaria valley, in the same
zone. the Italians captured prisoners
in breaking up an enemy outpost.
Except for the storming Of Casat-
assen ridge, north of Monte Grappa
by the Italians who captured prison
ers, the activity on the front between
Lake Garda and the Adriatic has been
confined to artillery bombardments.
