WAsHINGroN, April I3.--Generai STAN
officers here. including Major-Gen.
March. acting chief. regard the situation
confronting the British armies in France
and Flanders as extremely grave. ac-
cording to information given to tho
Senate Military Affairs Committee to-
day by the War Council. There Is con-
fiderce. however. that the British under
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Hsis's in
spring command will stiiYen their re-
s.stence and that additional French re-
endorsements being rushed forward by
Gen. Foch will prove an important fac
tor in the next Developments.
The prevailing opinion in General
Staff circles is that the British. when
further reinforced by the French. will
not strike back in n counter attack of
great magnitude. but will simply hold
the line against further German en-
croachments. Tho counter attack when
It does come Will be at a time and place
dictated by the general strategy Of the
situation. il is believed Gen. Foch will
not strike until he is ready. and when
ne does strike Il is believed that his OBJ
ject will be OF greater Importance than
driving the Germans back from barren
territory over a small sector of the line
The information from the War Coun-
Gil was encouraging with respect to
present transportation Of American
, troops to France. The War Department
now finds that troops are being sent
| even faster than scheduled and the
schedules called for numbers nearly
| three times the rate prevailing before
| the German drive began.
| In the matter Of arranging Cor sup
| plyira troops overseas. the information
received by the War Department Is de-
| scribcd as distinctly encouraging.

FRENCH ARMY HEADQUARTERS. April
u tdelayed) Up TO late hour yester-
day the enemy had shown no inciina-
ton to attack the French front south
Of the Somme. although around Las
signy and north OF MontG!dier the ar
tillery or both sides was constantly
Smelling positions in front of them. For
the moment practically the whole Ger
man energy appears to be concentrated
on the design Of extending the battle
front on the flani north of the original
field.
The trend OF the battle therefore con-
rection OF the southeast and northwest
and tine main pressure is Sill on the
British front. This is probably some
thing more than n coincidence. Having
failed In the attempt to make a breach
at the point Of the l!aison Of the British
and the French armies. the Germans
are now striking AT the junction OF the
British and Portuguese troops,
Inat is not 10 say tHat inc dttdCkS
against Amiens and against the Disc
Valley have been abandoned. At any
moment another great movement may
break out In either or both OF these
directions; that Is to say. on adjoining
sectors OF the French battle front
whereof the scenes OF to-day's artillery
activity In the region north Of Mont
didier and Lassigny are the centres.
That Is tantamount to saying that the
French must be ready to resist shock
tactics all along their front from Luce
Brook to Ailettc.
SO far IA can judge they are ready.
The prospect leaves them calm. although
they certainly do not underestimate the
enemy's strength. The diversion to the
northward against the British Of the
main impetus Of the attack Is giving
| them time to bring up still further re-
sources. An encouraging feature OF the
present situation is that our allies are
better placed and are far more powerful
to Withstand an offensive than they were

submarine on an American tanker,
British freighter and Norwegian
freighter, October q, 700 miles from

gian ship, which arrived here.
The three vessels were travelling to-
gether, the Norwegian crew said when
the submarine made its presence
known by launching a torpedo at the
Britisher. The enemy then appeared
on the surface and with two deck guns
opened fire on all three ships. The
vessels scattered and the Britisher, be-
ing the fastest, was soon hull down on
the horizon. The Norwegian ship, I'M
armed, moved off in an opposite direc-
ton, while the American tanker, turn.

The great success of the loan is

McAdoo Tut even with the highest

have been achieved without intelligent
direction and organization.
Il wish to thank the Liberty loan
committees, both men and women, the
bankers and business men, farmers,
wage earners, railroad officers and
employees and every group of citizens
who have so ably and enthusiastically
co-operated with the treasury in con-
Quoting the campaign

pages the necessity for making this

the unenacted revenue bill and other
unfavorable factors, the American peo-
pie have consummated the greatest

stone wall up to the surface of the
ground and the usual framework for
the superstructure. The main floor
is set up well above the ground by ele-.
waiting the joists several feet above the
top. of the cellar wall. The upper
part of the basement above the wall
is boarded with sheathing, and then a
course of building paper, then the
outside heavy boarding.
A break is made on a level with the
floor joists and the structure from
here up to the Plates is similar, ex-
tcept that shingles are used for
weather covering for the sides of the
house proper, as well as on the roof.
The gables are distinguished by
panel finish of stucco over metal lath.
The cornice is wide and the gable
projection is given heavy appearance
by using an extra deep fascia, sup
ported by brackets. With an over
hang as wide as this such support is
necessary to prevent sagging.
The floor plan of this interesting
little bungalow shows three living
rooms, two bedrooms and a bathroom,
with good pantry and a few extras,
such as reception hall, with a good
coat closet and a splendid pantry and
rear yestibule, which affords consider
able additional storage.
The one permanent objection to a
bungalow, the stock in trade Of all
DIRECTORS, is lack of closet room. This
plan overcomes the difficulty on the
main floor without resorting to spe-
cial cupbOards in the basement
However, a scuttle hole is provided
in the rear hall, so that some use may
be made of the attic for storage pur-
poses if necessary.
There is a good celiarway going
down from the kitchen, which also has
a good storage cupboard to the right
of the door as you enter from the
kitchen.
There is a back entrance to the eel
lar which is covered with a sloping
door for shedding rain, and which pro-
tects the outside concrete steps. Usu-
ally it pays to add a little extra ex-
penSe to a cellar under a bungalow,
because more use is made of a bunga-
low cellar than similar cellar under
two-story house. An outside cellar
way is a great convenience on wash
days and when tending the furnace.
1t is a good ventilator at all times, be-
cause any of the different doors may
be left partly open to admit much or
