GERMAN HORDES
 AT STANDSTILL
Artillery Duels Are Only Signs of Ac- tivity on Entire Front, But Pow erful Attack Is Believed
 Imminent.

New York, May 7.-Germany's hordes are still held in check Neith- CT in Flanders nor in Picardy, nor along the important Arras sector has the enemy renewed his attacks in force and he has not reacted against the gain made north of the Somme by the Australians in which more than 200 prisoners were captured.
 On both battle fronts. however, the artillery fire has been most intense, and the German attack cannot much longer be delayed if the enemy hopes to take advantage of whatever dam age that has been done to the allied positions by the heavy bombardments carried out by his guns since the re- pulse north of Mount Kemmel, more than a week ago, The greatest Ger man artillery activity has been on the northern half of the Flanders front and south of the Somme below the Avre in Pieardy.
 Americans Under Fire.
 American troops in their positions south of the Somme have been sub iected to intense artillery fire, the enemy using more than l5,000 shells mostly gas, in short period There have been no signs of German infan- try attack against the Americans who confidently await the first signs of re-a1vakened activity.
 A large part of the southern end of the important Arras sector has been taken over by the Canadian troops who also are being visited by a storm of German shells. French gen erals believe the Germans may attack simultaneously in the Flanders, Arras and Athens fronts in an effort to push the allies back in one mighty blow. The hill positions, however, are held by the allies and their guns dominate the Germans all along the line.
 Expected Blow in Italy.
 The Austro- Hungarian blow against the Italian front has not developed. Rome reports only moderate artillery fire along most of the front from Switzerland to the Adriatic and no in fantry activity. The Austrians, how ever, may be waiting for the most favorable moment, probably the re- newal of the German drive in France.
 Today, May 2, is the third anniver- sary of the singing of the Lusitania by German submarine with the loss of 1,125 lives.

Tree Lore,

The reason most trees lean toward
the northwest, says an old tree trim
mer, is because in the summer our pre-
vailing winds are from the southeast
the ground then is soft and the trees
toward the northwest. In the winter
the northern winds do not have this
effect on the trees because they are
denuded of leaves and the ground is
frozen or hard.
