ANOTHER BLOW
FROM GERMANS
EXPECTED SOON
Huns Fear Ever Increasing
Strength Of American Forces
and Are Likely to Seek
Quick Action.

On the French Front in France
May 6.-The opinion is virtually
unanimous that the further great blow
which the German staff must inev.
itably deliver, if it intends to try to
execute the promises made to the
German nation when the offensive was
started, must come soon.
The great activity of the enemy
along the Ypres sector is possibly a
prelude to the opening of new Ger
man rush there, or is intended to dis
tract attention from a formidable at
tack elsewhere. There is, indeed, a
widespread view that the next move
must come from the German armies
concentrated under General Won Be-
low, fronting Arras. Some of its di-
visions were borrowed by other Ger
man armies for attacks 10 the north
and the south, but these have since
been replaced and the force gathered
is very powerful.
Fear Americans.
Another factor in compelling them
to seek a rapid decision is the trans
parent fear of the ever-increasing
strength of the American forces.

The baron, who was formerly Sec
retary of the German embassy al
Washington, continued:
1T is known that the successes OF
the German arms in the west, which
have not by any means come to an
end, have made a tremendous i'm
preston in entente countries. Wide
circles in Great Britain perceive that
the entente frequently missed the
psychological moment for the conclu.

"The governments of the western
powers are blamed because, as is we'll
known, the secret treaties concluded
by them prove they have set up i'm
perialistic aims of conquest for the

Enemy airplanes appeared over the

Anti-aircraft guns brought down one
German mac hine and damaged an

The extreme activity Of the artil-
lery and aviators, the rife fire and

M|LLARD HOTEL
.s0LD;;To BECOME
PUBLIC MARKET
Deal Made for S150,000;
Rosoff Brothers to Install
Market Modelled After
One in Frisco.

Omaha soon is to boast new pub
lie market where all kinds of meats
and vegetables will be on sale the
year around.
This'is the announcement made by
Jake Rosoff, who, with his brother,
now operates the public market in
the First National Bank building.
This new public market will cover
the entire lower floor of the Millard
hotel which was yesterday bought
from Rome Miller for $l50,000 by
Weiner Bros, Epstein Bros. and the
Rosoff brothers.
The Millard hotel has a ground
floor space of 1872 feet by 154 feet
and at one time was the leading hotel
of the west.
The new. owners will spend $4,000
in remodeling the new property,
which will be handy for the use to
which it will be put. 1t is located on
the corner of Thirteenth and Doug
las and has trackage in the rear.
Modelled After Frisco.
The public market will be modelled
after the San Francisco market house,
where housewives come with their
market baskets to make purchases for
the family. Various stalls will handle
every commodity needed in the home.
Rosoff Bros. will have nothing to
do with the operation of the hotel,
which will be managed by the others.
Jake Rosoff, manager of the Public
Market, says that he is so taken with
the success of the present venture
that he is sure it is just what the
people want, only on a larger scale,
and no expense will be spared in
making the market a place where all
will be glad to go with their market
baskets.

AMERICANS UNDER FIRE.

= AMERICANS UNDER FIRE.
American troops, on the French
front not far from Montdidier, have
been under storm of shells for the
last couple Of days, projectiles con-
tanning high explosives being mingled
with those charged with poisonous
gas fired in.o the lines held BY Gen.
eral Pershing's men.
Along the rest Of the front in
France there have been no engage.
ments of unusual character, nor has
the Italian front been attacked as vet
by the Austfians who have assembled
there.
The British forces WHICH have
been holding the town Of EsSalt, east
of the Jordan and northeast Of Jeri-
cho, for about week have been CONF
PEELED again to abandon the place be-
fore superior forces Of Turkish and
German troops. The British, how

Heavy Fighting Foreseen.
From the official reports and spe-
cial dispatches filed by corresponds
cnts at the front there come intima.
tions that heavy fighting may be re-
suned at any time. The fact that
heavy rains are falling may have Z
great deal to do with the delay in the
German drive, but the allies hold high
ground, from which they can observe
the German positions, which are gen.
orally in the iowlands, and have kept
up heavy artillery fire in sectors
where the Germans have been assem-
bling or have been at work in bring
ing up guns for the battle which is
virtually certain to come.
There is feeling along the French
front that -be Germans may attack
in the Ypres. Arras and Amiens Sec

1t has been POINTED out by observ-
ers that an attack on the Arras Sec
tor, either on the apex between Ar
ras and Lens or on the sides of the
allied lines as they stretch back from
those cities. must come before the
Germans can hope to carry their ad-
vance in either Flanders or Picardy
much further 1t is reported that
heavy. forces are being assembled be-

Little relative to the international
situation in Austria has come over

it is learned shat on at least two occa.
sions there have been clashes be-
tween the Slovenian population Of
that country and the Germans.
The methods by which the German
military authorities have dealt with
the Ukrainians have been denounced
in both Berlin and Vienna by socialist
