SEES NO
CAUSE FOR FEAR
IN ADVANCES BY.
GERMAN FORCES.

Washington, March 29.-In a state
ment last night Major General
March, acting chief of staff, assured
the American people that there is no
cause for alarm in the advances
made by the Germans in the great
battle now raging in Picardy, and
expressed complete confidence in
triumph of the allied arms.
Whatever may be the present
ground held by the Germans: what
ever sacrifice Of men the situation
must entail, the allies will see it
through and will win
Late last night the general still
was without any word from General
Pershing concerning the American
troops participating In the battle.
General Pershing's reports yesterday
dealt entirely with the positions of
the opposing forces, as described in
the British and French official state
ments.
Among the new divisions identified
on the German front, the war de-
partment Is advised, are four which
have been brought back from Russia.
Announcement by Field Marshal
Haig last night that the German
war machine along the whole British
front had been beaten off yesterday,
with heavy losses, gave new zest last
night to speculation here as to how
long before the counter drive VIII
occur.
Discuss Counter Blow.
War department officials generally
appeared satisfied that substantial
forces would join the French when
the counter blow is given.
The new outbreak Of the German
thrust at Arras caused some APP
prehension here, lest the allies might
find 1t necessary to further delay
their effort to catch the German
forces on the rebound and. seek VIC
tory after bitter days Of steady yield
ing OF ground. Definite word from
General Haig that this new drive also
had been checked, added to the con-
viction that allied strategy will
triumph.
If their reasoning is correct, the
Germans face the prospect of seeing
their great effort on the western
front meet the fate of the others.
Only twice before hive the. Germans
undertaken major operations on this
front. Their first rush in 1914 was
stopped as their last and perhaps
their final effort nearly four years
later is now apparently being stop
ped by skillful retirement. Their on
ly other great assault at Verdun, was
an unqualified defeat.
The thrust at ArTas may have
been intended to divert British re-
serves from the real objective OF
German strategy far to the south,
where British and French lines con-
meet. The. success Of that purpose
is highly doubtful, since the initial
effort was parted by troops already
in position in this sector. There was
no time to bring divisions back from
the south, so 1t seems certain that
the regular garrison Of the British
lines was sufficient to repel the en-
envy. This fact alone is regarded as
eloquent evidence Of the waning
power of the German war machine.
In the meantime, attention here
was not diverted from the chief thea
ter, the British French junction. The
French counter attack there was
closely watched. It may develop in |
to a great movement, although early |
reports indicated that it was aimed |
at local detectives.

BE LOYAL TO A HOME ENTER.
PRISE

Mr.. Love, manager of the cream
cry tells us that cream deliveries are
growing in number, indicating that
more ranchers are adding milk cows
to their holdings. A decision we
heartily approve of. The demand for
milk and butter grows larger every
year. The population of the state of
Washington is increasing by leaps
and bounds. The probability that
the dairy industry will be overdone
is too remote to be taken into con-
sideration. Local butter, if kept up
to the standard in quality, will al
ways be preferred to the shipped in
article for the simple reason that it
is always fresh. Leavenworth but
ter consumers should invariably in
sist on having Leavenworth butter
so long as it is as good as the best
on the market. Without costing
them one cent extra they can help
a struggling home enterprise to get
on its financial feet.
