Observers in Washington
Note Growing Fury of
BOmbardment of Line
BRITISH POSITION
BELIEVED CRITICAL
Should the German Effort Fail It Is
Thought the British Will Be Left in
Strong Strategic Position-Chance to
Regain in North.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-For the
moment the German drive at the Brit
ish line has localized on the sector east
ward of Ypres, and military men here
are watching with eager interest the
British counter attacks on this narrow
front, where further enemy successes
probably would mean the evacuation of
large stretch of territory.
While the British official statement
that the lines east of Ypres had been
withdrawn and readjusted on new
front did not give the position of the
new line, it is known that the general
trend of the British lines on this north
ern flank of the great battle now is
represented by almost a right angle.
| Troops which faced due east only a
week ago are now fighting on front
that extends in a general east and west
direction and they are facing south.
From the lines to the east of Ypres, the
British have been swung back on a p
mile front with the Ypres positions as
the hinge of the movement. That hinge
now forms broad salient into the
German lines which they are trying TO
fiatten out.
Should the German effort fail it is
believed here the British will be left in
a strong strategic position. BY a coun-
ter-attack from Ypres they might re-
conquer all the ground lost in this
northern extension of the battle front.
The desperate nature of the attacks
aimed at the capture of Ypres tndi-
Gates the belief of the German com
manders that their position will be un-
tenable unless they can widen II in that
direction.
Press dispatches noted yesterday the
growing fury of bombardment along
the whole line. No explanation OF the
purpose of the gun-fre was made. 1t
was regarded here, however, as pos
sil,lv significant The allied comman-
der in-chief, Gen. Foch, may have or
dered the bombardment preliminary to
counter-stroke. It's extent would
make the actual front on which he pro
posed to launch his efforts, matter
for guesswork.
There was nothing otherwise in the
days dispatches, however, to indicate
that a counter blow was coming. Many
officers were doubtful that such NOV.
could be attempted along the British
front until the Ypres situation had been
I established. The menace at that point
is too imminent, they believed, to per
nit the employment of reserves, as they
might be needed to get their comrades
out Of a perilous situation if a wide re
tirement became necessary
There was little effort to disguise The
fact that the Ypres situation is viewed
with apprehension. The fact that re
adjustment OF the British lines to tn,
east was made necessary was regarded
= ia proof that the position had beer
shaken under the weight of the Ger
man attack. The extreme caution witt
which the British are now framing off
ial reports transmitted for publication
was also noted as possibly significant

Japanese SuperstitiOns
and Telephone Numbers

The Japanese, like many Americans
believe there is luck in certain num-
hers, and are willing to go to great
lengths to gain the protection of these
lucky symbols.
A single figure telephone in Toxic
sells for from 500 to 1000 yen (sSso
to S4so) a year, says the Electrical
EXperimenter The luckiest number
in the estimation of business is eight
because the character for it spreads
downward and suggests the idea OF
gathering prosperity. Number 1853 is
also believed to be a lucky number
because children are presented at
Shinto shrines on their third, fifth and
seventh birthdays. Indeed, odd mum
hcrs are lucky. Three figure num-
bers are not Objectionable if they are
as easy to remember as l23 or 555.
The most unlucky numbers ars ~
and ~, because the former may be
pronounced 'shini" which means Ito
die and the latter may be pro-
nounced "shiku." which means death
and suffering" Therefore. it is said
that%hose numbers are avoided by in
dividuals and generally taken by gov
eminent officers. schools. police sta
tons and other invincible institutions

New War Telegraph Sends
5000 Words Per Minute

A seven-league stride has recently
been made in high speed telegraphy.
An apparatus which in actual tests has
proved its ability to transmit over a
single grounded wire 5000 words a
minute has been evolved.
The real significance of this escapes
one until 1t is realized that 5000 words
set in type will fill seven and a half
standard magazine pages.
Details of what appears to be an
epoch making achievement must be
withheld for military reasons. says
Popular Mechanics. 1t is n war in
vention and has for it's chief purpose
the liberation Of hundreds of expert
operators for the signal corps without
tadisorganizing our much needed com g..
mercial lines. No secret Is divulged,
+ however, when the apparatus is de-
scribed as printing telegraph system
depending upon a universally used
| recording instrument that has never
| before been associated with telegraphy.
| Messages are handled in any Ian
! guage or cipher with equal facility
and rapidity. The speed of 5000
! words minute does not hinge upon
/ the use of an abbreviating code. but
by such an agency it could be in
creased several fold. Crack opera :
/ tors are not required. In tive hours
time, it is claimed quick witted
person with no previous knowledge Of
/ telegraphy can be trained to send and
receive messages. Instead of being
highly complicated and expensive the
instruments are not of involved char

be most unwise under these cir
cumstances. 1t is certain that his
view of things before the war
would be grossly distorted by his
political enemies.
This action, we think, forecasts
the greatest scrutiny on the part
of the voters this year of all can
didates for office. The candidate
whose record does not assay one
hundred per cent of patriotism
will have small chances of cleo
ton. The same most certainly
will apply to the candidate who
places his ambitions above pa
triotism and cringe for the sup
port of elements that are disloyal,
or to whom the war is of sec
ondary importance.
Both of the great political
parties are awake to this situa-
ton because we find that in many
congressional districts, they will
unite in the support of a candi-
date where otherwise there
would be danger of the election
of man Of the La Toilette type.
