Paris, April 1.-THE German at,
tao yesterday in the left bank OF
the River Disc between Chauny and
Barisis is taken by some military
critics as indication that the enemy
finding himself cramped in the sail,
ent his offensive has created toward
Montdidier and Amiens, is seeking
more elbow room,as without it he
will be unble to deploy his masses
in Hindenburg style.
The retirement of the French tc
positions prepared in advance caus'
es no uneasiness here.
"People should not allow them
selves to. be hypnotized by the Of

whose advice seems to have beer
accepted. "In a battle like this" he
added. "bulletins showing more OF

maries which convey little meaning
except to those who are directing
the operations.

Grain Held For Higher Prices

Washington, April 1.-The fooo
administration appeal to !oya
American farmers to market thei,
wheat now while the greatest diff,
culties is being made in feeding the
allies, had only slight effect last
week, when mill receipts increased
to 3,250,0OO bushels as compared
with 100000 bushels of the prev.
ious week. The normal receipts are
100000 bushels.
Many million of bushels, the ad.
ministration said, still are in storage
on the farms. Exports to the allies
meanwhile continue to decline and
from March Is to'22 amounted to
only 199,749 tons of cereals, as com
pared with the weekly program OF
100000 tons. Up to March %
lllSlS was q QSllSlI VI 1,1O1,SV1 IoilS

can be made up only with wheat.
Decision to requisition all wheat
held by Germans sympathizers seek,
ing to hamper the government has
not been changed, administration
officials said. They indicated, how.
ever, that another week or 10 days
would be given loyal Americans to
sell their grain and that drastic act
ion then would be considered if the
emergency in the wheat supply con.
tinues as serious as at present.

The second phase Of the great bat
tie along the Somme, which the Ger
mans began on Thursday last, has
died down. It lasted less than three
days and the fighting has resolved
itself into more or less isolated en-
gagements in which the French and
British allies have more than held
their own. &S2s.
The attention of the Germans for
the present is mainly directed, at
the lower end Of the battle zone,
which apparently they are attempt
ing to enlarge, for the purpose Of
getting elbow room in which to
move their vast masses Of troops.
Meanwhile, General Foch, the
commander in chief Of the allies, is
biding his time, meeting the Ger
man assaults with powerful resist
ance and here and there conform
ing his lines to the necessities of
the battle. 1t is confidently stated
at Paris that Foch will will not be drawn:

Bill Coos to Roumania. "
There may be some significance in
the report that the German emper-
or after conference on the west
ern front Saturday with his chiefs,
Won Hindenburg and Ludendorff, in
tends to proceed to Roumania." AT
the outset of the great German of
fensive, when it was sweeping the
allied forces before it, notwith-
standing the tenacious resistance,
Emperor William, 1t was announced
officially from Berlin, was in su-
preme command. That announce
ment was regarded at the time as
evidence that the emperor expected
a complete and decisive victory.
Since then, however, British and
French and American reinforce
ments have come up. ~.
The British on Sunday engaged in
sharp local fighting at various points
and repulsed German counterattacks
They also drove off, by artillery fire,
two German attacks launched in the
neighborhood of Bucuquoy.
President Wilson's acceptance of
the challenge of the central powers
and his declaration of "force, force
to the utmost, force without stint or
limit, the righteous and triumphant
force which shall right the law of
the world and cast every selfish do
minion down in the DUST" has had
responsive echo from the capitals
of the entente powers where the
press gives high praise to the presi-
dent 'for putting his action into
agreement with his words"

-. TO BALTIMORE FOLK
Show. Futility of Listening to All
Proposals to End War Before
Berlin is Awakened from Dream
of World Dominion. Must
Respect Law.

Respect Law.
Baltimore, April 6.-President
Wilson at a great Liberty Loan Gel
ebration here tonight gave Amerl-
cas- answer to the German drive on
the Western battle front; to the
renewed propaganda for a German
made peace, to all proposals to end
the war before Germany is awak-
ered from her dream of world do
minion.
The presidents answer war:
,"Force, force to the utmost,
force without stint or limit, the
righteous and triumphant force
which shall make right the law of
the world, and cast every selfish
dominion down in the dust"
A few hours before the president
spoke he had reviewed division of
citizen soldiers, called only few
months ago from the pursuits of
peace; now transformed into fight
ing men to carry the ideal of Am
erica to the battlefelds of Europe
at the moment, a million more of
their kid all over the land were
seSatsbsiaftiiag eas the opening Of the third
Liberty loan, and the orders for mo-
bilizing the first of the great army
Of a second million were going out
to the country.
.... World for Free Men.
e., Those were some of the physical
facts which backed his words, when,
after reviewing, briefly the evidence
that Germany seeks a peace that
would give her dominion, the presi-
dent declared.
"I accept the challenge, I know
that you accept it. All the world
shall know you accept it. 1t shall
appear in the utter sacrifice and
self-forgetfulness with which we
shall give all that we love and all
that we have to redeem the world
and make it fit for free men like
ourselves to live in. This now is
the meaning of what we do. Let
everything that we say, my fellow
countrymen, everything that we
henceforth plan and accomplish ring
true to this response till the maj
esty and might of our concerted
power shall fill the thought and ut
,terly defeat the force of those who
flout and misprize what we honor
and hold dear.
Germany has once more said that
force and force alone shall decide
whether justice and peace shall
reign in the affairs of men; whether
right as America conceives it, or do
minion as she conceives it, shall de-
termine the destinies of mankind.
"There is, therefore, but one re-
sponse possible from US; force,
force to the utmost, force without
stint or limit, the. righteous force
which shall make right the law of
the world, and cast every selfish do
minion in the dust"
Warning anew that triumph of
arms for Germany means ruin for
all the ideals America has won and
lives for the president reiterated he
was willing to discuss at any time
a fair, just honest peace, sincere
ly proposed, "a peace in which the
strong and weak shall fare alike"
"But the answer" said he, "when
/ proposed such a peace, came from
the German commanders in Russia
and can not mistake the meaning
Of the answer.

RED CROSS LIVING PICTURES

The entertainment of Living Pic
lures, given in the Opera House or
last Thursday night for the benefit
of the Abbeville Red Gross Chap
ter and it's auxiliaries was without
question a grand success. Mrs. H
w. Pratt, who was in charge as
chairman, worked faithfully and
with the able assistance of her CO.
workers, made it a success.
The pictures were we'll gotten ur
and particularly well carried out
and the music was fine. Everybody
turned out to help the good cause
and a nice sum was cleared-$336'
The little children and the young
people were intensely interested in
their parts which made it success
The grown up people who helped
were enthusiastic with one object
in view, that is to help in every
way possible to win the war and
help the boys who are fighting or
soon will be at the front.
