ARTILLERY
PREPARING
FOR DRIVE
BY Henry Wood
United Press Staff Correspondent.


WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
IN THE FIELD, April Ga vio-
lent artillery duel. usually pres
aging an attack, is under way on
the entire front south OF the
Somme.
Nevertheless the Germans APP
parently plan vastly greater
artillery concentration before
risking the main drive toward
Amiens.
After the original thrust in the
first half of the week, the enemy
rushed up many 150-millimeter
guns. On Thursday their first
210-millimeters appeared. Still
heavier cannon are expected.
Heavy rains, beginning Thurs
day, a.e unQuestionably increas-
ing the Germans difficulties.
On the contrary, the French
railways, working with the same
precision that characterized the
1914 mobilization, have complet-
ed the French concentration.
From a personal tour from
where the artillery concentration
is the heaviest | have ever wit
messed, | am convinced If the
Germans persist against Amiens,
the artillery fire preceding the
shock of battle will be the great
est of the war.
Indications are plentiful that
the Germans are preparing for a
second offensive elsewhere, for
which the French have taken
adequate measures.
Following the decision Of the
American government regarding
the use Of its troops, the French
general staff declared the Ameri-
can forces will make their weight
felt in the present gigantic con-
test.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
IN THE FIELD, April 6.-"The
German offensive has been COM
pletely checked; the future will
give us the full measure of the
victory which we have already at
tanned"
These words were addressed to
newspaper correspondents by Gen.
Foch, who received them in his
headquarters at the front, where
he is already hard at work at his
newly created task of co-ordinat-
ing British and French and Ameri-
can military effort on the west
front.
The veteran hero of the Marine,
User and Somme appeared in the
highest spirits, radiating degree
of confidence that was contagious.
Turning to the wall, where
there was a huge colored map
showing the daily German ad-
vance since March 81, Foch said:
you see, since March Z, the alb
solutely fresh advance by the Ger
mans Indicating fragmentary
gains) and here We are.
ut is already April 4 and the
German offensive, after surging
forward, has encountered an OBJ
stacle and, having dashed against
the breakwater, has exhausted its
force on the beach,"
Foch was surrounded by his
own brilliant and brainy staff of
French officers, while in the ad-
Joining rooms, Americans, British
and Italian military missions Ia
bored in cooperative efforts to-
ward establishing a unity of COM
mand of the allied forces on the
west front.

WILSON TO
TALK WAR

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 6.
President Wilson today will dis
pose uncompromisingly of all pres
emit peace talk.
Surrounded by soldiers of the
Camp Meade cantonment in a
thrilling Liberty loan meeting at
Baltimore, he will make his long
heralded war talk"
While war and peace almost in
evitably mingle, the president will
point out that the only path now
to peace Is by beating back the
conquest-crazed Teutons pound
Ing at Frances heart spot
Amiens.
That he may have something to
say on Count Czernin's recent
peace chatter and the revealed Sc
cret diplomatic Austrian peace
maneuvers with entente agents in
Switzerland, Is deemed likely.
While he was once credited with
believing that Austria could be
weaned from Germany, recent
events have indicated to him and
to state department officials that
Austria is only pawn in German
military mems hands.
That she was a pawn when her
secret diplomacy proceeded with
allied representatives, is the. view
taken here, tho some authorities
say che was trying to strike a bar
gain before it was too late.
