MUST FIGHT
TILL WE WIN

There cant be any peace with
the German libertines at large!
We must fight the war till we
win said Maj. L. d. Wishard,
speaking at the Elks temple Sun
day night. Maj. Wishard was
sent by President Wilson last
summer to investigate German
atrocities in Belgium and France,
the work of the Red Cross and
the Y. M. G. A.
He declared there are three
sources of proof of German atroc-
ities-the testimony of eye wit
nesses, the unrefuted declarations
in the report of the commission
headed by Lord Bryce, and the
indictments made by the Germans
themselves in 1000 diaries of
German prisoners in the hands of
the French government.
The bright picture at the front
today, he said, is the noble, sac
rificing work of the Red Cross
and Y. M. c. A.

During the Temporarily lull i'm

Germans bringing up heavy artil-

to check future enemy efforts.
Owing to the rapid advance, the
battle so far has been essentially
one of infantry combats, with
machine guns and light field guns

Germans next thrust will be sup

The most conservative estimate,

Mariners Are
Needed by us

An appeal to men in the Tacoma
district who have had brief ma
rine experience to help supply the
growing demand for officers for
the merchant marine, has been
made by Prof. B. F. Jacons, in
charge of the Washington free
navigation school in Tacoma.
Already 25 students have been
certified from the school in the
last few weeks, and a number of
other students have just complet-
ed their examinations.
AN officer on the merchant
marine ships is fulfilling his duty
to his country and also opening a
life career for himself" says Prof
Jacobs.

PRAISE WORK OF
j. s. ENGINEERS

BY WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS
United Press staff Correspondent
WITH THE BRITISH
ARMIES IN FRANCE, April
1.-Energetic fighting con-
tinues from one end of the
new battlefront to the other,
both the British and French
being engaged. But opposite
the British, fighting is most
ly quite local in character.
Some of this today was done
amidst a thunderstorm, with rain
and hail, typical of April in
France. The sun occasionally
penetrated the clouds, making the
raindrops simmer in the peach
and apple blossoms, so abundant
on the hillsides along the firing
lines.
The Germans vainly attempted
to reach the Paris-Calais railway.
They attacked heavily in the re-
gion of Moreuil but were thrown
back without progress. The cav
airy dashingly aided in clearing
up the situation, especially in the
forest northeast of Moreuil.
Fighting similar to this is going
on around Arras, in the Ancre
valley at Albert, and astride the
Somme and Luce.
Low flying war planes, cavalry,
artillery and infantry are par
ticipating.
The main thing is that the
enemy has failed to advance
worth mentioning anywhere,
losing everywhere. Between
the SOmme and MorlancOurt
alone, a small affair cost
them 5000 dead and q de.

MASS DIVISIONS
FOR new DRIVE
AGAINST ITALY
Germans Assemble Forty
Austrian Units with Heavy
Artillery.

WASHINGTON. March 29.-Forty
new Austrian divisions have been dis
tributed along the Italian front. the
Italian Embassy was advised by cable
from Rome, and this activity has con-
vinced italian military men that the
battle in France will not prevent an
offensive against Italy.
This view also is shared by the
allied leaders, the cable said, and con-
sequently not single man Of the
FrancoBritish forces in Italy has been
withdrawn to reinforce the armies
withstanding the great German attack
That the battle in France will not pre-
vent the Austrian offensive against
Italy," said the message" Is the found
ed opinion Of competent military men
Of Italy. The allies also are Of this
opinion, so much so that not one man
OF the Franco-British forces in Italy
has been withdrawn. This statement
disposes Of the assertion Of the Ger
man communique that the British
forces in Italy had been brought to the
French front.
In connection with the expected
drive against Italy, it is said that at
least 40 new Austrian divisions have
been distributed along the Italian
front. All available artillery also has
been transferred from the Russian and
Roumanian fronts to the Italian front.
Italy therefore must be prepared for
the coming blow, which the situation
in, France may have postponed, but
which must be met in very near fu-
ture."
