WAR CHEST
MOVEMENT
IS PROBABLE

T. W. Wickey Of East Chicago has
just returned from indianapolis where
he was in attendance at the meeting of
the State Council of Defense which took
into consideration the matter of a
statewide campaign to provide a war
chest for the various counties and mu-
inequalities.
This matter was very thoroughly in
vestigated and although formal action
in the matter recommending the plan
Will be delayed for a time yet Mr..
Wickev believes that the State Council
of Defense are favoring this movement.
The plan is to specify some period Of
time consisting Of week or ten days
and recommend to all parties of the
state that plan be taken up which will
provide funds for all campaigns except
the liberty loan and war stamps during
the continuance of the war
This matter has been considered at
various times by cities of Lake county
and this region Will doubtless fall in
line in such a campaign if a state wide
movement is brought about.

WITH THE FRENCH ARRIES IN
THE FIELD, April 26.-The Germans
are continuing the development of their
assault against Amtens with increasing
violence, aiming eventually at a separa-
ito Of the Franco-Brttish forces.
This is an indication OF EIndenpurg's
determination TO force a supreme deci-
sive contest which unquestionably has
been induced by the fact that preceding
the present attack the Germans already
had engaged $50 divisions, 100000
men, of which approximately so divt-
ionss were first c. second class.
The German drive toward Aniens is
increasing. In the meantime the allies
have had time to take the greatest de-
fenstve precautions. In consequences the
victorious outcome IS likely TO rest with
the side having the best generalslaip, the
most munitions and the most reserves
AS the result of un4fytng the allied
command, Foch is consistently opposing
the present attack as heretofore with
the minimum forces necessary, prefer
ring TO lose ground rather than to use
1essly sacrifice his reserves. The two
preceding German drives lasted ten days
each with FIVE day intervals for or
ganizing bue it Is considered doubtful
that the Germans with their limited
number of fresh divisions left from v1o-
lence can exceed tho preceden+s.
