IRISH BISHOPS
 URGE RESISTANCE
 TO CONSCRIPTIO

London, April 20-The grave and menacing situation created by the de- termination of Nationalist Ireland, tunited as seldom before, to resist con- scription, has aroused deep interest throughout Great Britain. Particular emphasis is laid on the decision of the Roman Catholic hierarchy to throw in it's lot with the Sim FeiEers, who have openly proclaimed Germany as their ally. The bishops have not counselled violence, urging passive resistance.
 Thes pledge which is to be admin istered on Sunday to what one au- thority estimates at nine-tenths of the entire Catholic population of the country binds them ito resist con- scription by the most effective means at their disposal" This gives wide latitude and pleases the advocates of both passive and active resistance.

With the British Army in France, April 2O-By the Asso- ciated Press)-No further big enemy attack developed during the night. Trouble still is brewing in the northern zone and south of the river Somme. There are indications in the latter region that another mighty thrust for the British supply base of Amiens is boil ing.
 The Germans are nursing their hurts in the region of La Bassee canal.
 In a sharp local engagement at Riez du Vinage this morning from the direction of Pacaut wood the enemy overran the British outposts but were driven back to the wood.
 In the Arras region there was more activity yesterday and last night. The British advanced their line slightly on Q 300 yard front east of Beaurains and repulsed a German counter at tack. Later, however, the British withdrew to their original line.
 Southward in the ridge zone about Kemmel it seemed probable that the enemy has paused to organize more careful scheme of assault than he em- ployed in the last few days of costly fighting.
 Another bid for Kennel and the surrounding region may come at any time.

 ''The most gratifying thing about this war;" said Secretary Daniels after the launching, lis that the bulk of the men of all ca1lings have been ready to make whatever sacrifices the authori- ties have asked them to make. There has been a hearty response by the American people in all directions. The spirit of America is that there will be no profiteering and no toleration of slackers either in the military service, in munition plants. in the ship yards or anywhere else. The men who are turning out destroyers and munitions arc just as brave as men who are at the front. Unless their courage and willingness makes sacrifice to fur nish the implements of war, the brave men at the front will give their lives without the agencies which will en- able them to win the war.

 ''It is easy for me to understand the suspicious and distrust that crowds the mind of the average worker in connection with war. From the first dawn the masses have been pawns ill every struggle, and warfare has ever been made an excuse for setting back the hands of progress. It is not so to- day.
