Beat Heavy Attacks.
French and British troops beat back
the enemy last night in his desperate
efforts to advance toward Amiens and
to push out from the Montdidier salient.
Slight progress in the drive for Amiens
along the Luce and Avrex valley is the
only forward movement reported any
where along the line despite the almost
incessant Teutonic attacks. and at least
at one point the enemy was pushed
back
The most determined assaults in this
effort seem to have been in the neigh

With the British Armies In France,
April Energetic fighting continues
from one end OF the new battle front
TO the other, both the British and
French being engaged. But opposite
the British, fighting is mostly quite
local in character.
Some OF this today was done amidst
a thunderstorm. with rain and hail
typical OF April, in France. The sun
occasionally penetrated the clouds, MAX
ing the rain drops simmer in the
peach and apple blossoms so abundant
on the hillsides along the firing lines.
The Germans vainly attempted to reach
the Paris Calais railway. They at
tackled heavily in the region of Moreiul,
but were thrown back without progress.
The cavalry dashingly aided in clear
ing up the situation, especially in the
forest northeast Of Moreuil.
Fighting similar to this is going on
around Arras, in the Ancre.
Low flying airplanes. cavalry, artil-
slery and infantry are participating.
The main thing is the enemy has
failed to advance worth mentioning,

England Ready

LONDON, March !. .- Iapans pro-
posals with regard to Siberia and their
reception in Washington has brought
the question of Japan's active particl-
patton in military operations 20 the
forefront here, the developments dom
mating the news columns OF the papers.
A Reuter- cablegram quoting an ASso-

Is given great prominence by the morn

extensively Some papers display con

The bulk of the opinion favors
Japans proposed action without Qualiii-

quarters that she ought implicitly TO be

Wilson Is Not Avetse.
The Times says that while the alti-
tude of President Wilson and the Amer
lcan state department does not seem "a
be officially defined as yet, 1T is clear
from the important Associated Press
statement that il would be a mistake
TO regard President Wilson's attitude
as decidedly averse to Japanese inter
vention"
Whatever view the American gov
ernment may finally adopt it adds. 1T
is certain to be received with the ut
most difference by the allies. No doubt
is felt in well-informed quarters that
the position Of the United States will
be determined by the logic of the situa-
tion and the single hearted desire which
President Wilson always has shown to
further the best interests of the allies.
The question virtually is one of ways
and means and of deciding as rapidly
as possible upon a policy best cal
culated TO secure the end in view
Japan Is Justified
The Morning Post says
Just as the United States was forced
