GREAT DRIVE FOR

London, April s. Checked at most
points along the front from Arras to
Coucy, north of scissors, the Ger
mans are nibbling at the allied line
IN an effort to find a weak spot. so
far the enemy has been repulsed along
tie western leg Of the elbow salient.
la the Chauny- -Coucy-La Fere tri-
angle along the Disc on the extreme
eastern end of the southern front of
tie battle line, the French have re-
tired to higher ground
Correspondents at the British front
in France say signs are not wanting
that the Germans are getting ready
to launch another heavy attack on a
long front in an endeavor to reach
Amiens Enemy efforts north of the
Somme recently have been solely in
an effort to capture artillery posi-
tons but the Germans have not gained
their detectives. Aerial fighting con
tinues heavy. French and British
aviators brought down 9 enemy ma
chimes, while Berlin reports the de-
struction of rs entente airplanes.
From Arras to the Somme the Brit
ish line still stands as it did ten days
ago. The latest enemy attempt to
attack was made in the region OF
Bucquoy, 20 miles north of the Somme
but both efforts were broken up by
the British artillery fire Immediate
" south of the Somme there has been
only local fight with no change in
the position of the battle front.
General Petain's men still maintain
their splendid position east of the
Amiens- Paris railway. The Germans
have tried to advance north of the
Amiens-Roye road in the region ol
Hangard but the French artillery fire
was sufficient to break up the attack
Berlin claims further advances ir

immediate Action Necessary.
THE first thing you can do is to
concern yourself with the desperate
activities of the German empire in
this country. Some of these activities
are political others are Industrial
attempts at dynamiting our war plants
and burning buildings Still others
are in the realm of propaganda

If you are an American citizen, if
you believe in the ideal Of life, liberty,

CTR forefathers gave their lives in the
