RECREATION FOR THE
HOSPITAL MAIMEF

Washington, D. CA recreation ny, Z
gram designed at once to keep the re
tents in military reconstruction NH 4
pitfalls cheerful and normal, and pei
same time to supplement the C,
tive physical treatment of the me
officers, has been agreed upon betJ
the surgeon generals staff and the
reau of camp service of the Amer of
Red Cross 1t was disclosed today S.ro,
the plan is to be putt into effect ~
once in rs hospitals where some $4,000
cases of men, manned or suffering from
shell-shock, are under treatment.
The object will be to keep patients
happily employed, to encourage the
MANNED to enter fully into social ac-
tivities, and, by carefully chosen games
and exercises fitted to each class, to
encourage men through play to use
dormant muscles an dto increase their
ability to make one lin bdo more and
more the work of two.
Besides motion picture shows and
entertainments, an dfireside evening
gecreations, as well as the usual club
roo mgames, special attention will be
given to the development of orchestras,
glee clubs, choruses, quartets, debat-
ing, reading, story telling and study
clubs, and similar group or competitive
activities among the MANNED. The
that the patients get home papers and
other daily papers, as we'll as maya
zines and technical books and writing,
especially Of letters, will be encouraged
by affording stationery and comfort
able desks.
In addition the camp and local Red
Cross workers viii arrange for theatre
parties, dances, Christmas dinners, en-
tertainmentsa nd trips for men able to
leave the hospital grounds, and will
provide automobiles for those unable to
travel by street car.
To give out-of-door employment and
recreation the Red Cross will provide
facilities for gardening, which has been
found to be one of the best recreation
al employments for those suffering
from shell-shock.
In all the work every effort will be
made to prevent a feeling that the fun
has been institutionalized AS nearly
as possible a home and ordinary club
atmosphere win be maintained.

TWO U-BOATS SUNK BY
AMERICAN DESTR0YERS
Depth Charges Do the Work and
Later Oily Surface of Sea
Tells the Tale.
Death Due to Pneumonia.

LONDON, March 30.-Encounters in
which American destroyers sank Ger
man submarines are thus described in
accounts of successful submarine bat
ties published today:
'"The first American destroyer sighted
the enemy submarine on the port bow
and proceeded at full speed in the d.
rection of the enemy, who submerged
The American officers could see the en-
emy's wake, which showed he was run
ming underneath the surface from star
board to port. AS the. German passed
under the stern of the American boat
the latter dropped a depth charge. The
wake, which had been plainly visible
on ,the starboard, never appeared on
the port side of the destroyer. Instead
large quantities of oil came to the sur
face.
1.-The second American destroyer, en-
gagged in night convoy duty, sighted
an object a mile away by the light OF
the moon. Full speed was ordered, but
the submarine dfved while the Ameri-
can was still few hundred yards dis
tant Two depth charges were dropped
and oil came to the surface. This sub
marine was apparently lying in wait
for another convoy which was ap-
preaching from an opposite direction"

Americans Show Optimism
in Discussion of Outcome
of Big Crucial Struggle

PARIS, March 30.-Every trained
fighting man under Gen Pershing's
command is being held in readiness to
assist the French and British armies at
this most crucial of moments The
American expeditionary forces are pre-
pared to fight whenever and wherever
the interallied great command decides.
The sectors now occupied by our
troops are, of course, calm as a mill
pond compared with the typhoon Of
strife breaking upon the banks of the
Somme and Disc. Our aid there thus
far has been indirect. Only a few scat

have participated in stemming the Ger

CABINET CHANGE RUMOR
Report Out That Secretary of War
Baker Is to Be Succeeded by
. Gen. Goethals.

rumor in circulation at the War
Department yesterday was to the eff
feet that Secretary Baker will re-
linquish the portfolio of the War De-
partment and remain in Europe as the
personal representative of the Presi-
dent at the conferences of the supreme
war council of the allies, and that Maj.
Gen. George w. Goethals, u. S. A., re-
tired, acting quartermaster general,
may be made Secretary of War.
The report does not receive much
credence. Secretary Baker is on REC
ord as saying he would be away from
Washington only long enough to make
a brief survey of the military situation
i'll France and England. 1t is believed
also that Gen. Goethals is to be placed
in personal charge of the military
transportation department in France.
Color is given to the report that
Gen. Goethals is to be relieved of his
duties as head of the ouartermaster
Corps by the fact that the most i'm

purchase and distribution of army sup
plies are to be transferred to the new

BATTLE JUST BEGUN,
SAYS LLOYD GEORGE
Premier, IN Announcing Foch
as Allied Leader, Lauds
Bravery of Troops.
TO MASS ALLY EFFORTS

LONDON, March 30.-Premier Lloyd
George today announced the appoint
ment Of Gen. Foch as commander of
the allied armies on the western front.
In making the announcement the premier
said:
For the first few days after the Ger
man army had launched upon our lines
an attack unparalleled in its concentration
of troops and guns the situation was ex-
treniely critical Thanks to the In
domitable bravery of our troops, who
Fgradually stemmed the enemy advance
until reinforcements could arrive and our
faithful ally could enter into the battle,
the situation now is improved.
Struggle Only Begun.
THE struggle. however. is only in its
opening stages and no prediction Of its
future course can yet be made"
From the first day the war cabinet
has been in constant session and in
communication with headquarters and
with the French and American govern
ments. A number of measures have
been taken In concert between the gov
ernments to deal with the emergency.
The enemy has had the incalculable
advantage of fighting as one army. To
meet this. the allies have, since the
battle began, taken a most important
decision.
Choice of Nations.
with the cordial cooperation. of the
British and French commanders-in-
chief. Gen. Foch has been charged by
the British. French and American gov
ernments to coordinate the action of
the allied armies on the western front.
In addition to the action taken to
meet the immediate needs of the mo-
ment, 1t will be necessary to bring into
operation certain measures which have
long been in contemplation should a
situation such as the present arrive.
1T is clear that, whatever may happen
in this battle, the country must be pre-
pared for further sacrifices to insure
final victory. / am certain that the ma
tion will shrink from no sacrifice which
is required to secure this result and the
necessary plans are being carefully pre-
pared by the government and will be an
nounced when parliament meets"

a short distance south of Arras. The
statement reads:
Battle Starts Afresh.
North of the Somme, after a short
lull yesterday, the battle broke out
afresh this morning.
THE enemy repeated his costly and
unsuccessful assaults both in the region
of Boiry and Bovelles and Immediately
north of the Somme. All these assaults
which were delivered in considerable
strength and with fresh troops, were
thrown back with heavy losses to the
enemy and our positions remained in
tact.
we took number of prisoners.
"A heavy bombardment of our de-
fenses east of. Arras accompanied the
delivery of the attack. South of the
Somme and between that river and the
Avre fighting has continued incessantly,
attacks and counter attacks taking place
at frequent intervals. The enemy forced
his way this morning into the village OF
Demuin, in the Luce valley but is held
up at the western outskirts of the vii
lage."
