OF. LOUIS, MO- April 13.--Dr

branch of the German-American al
lance. was arrested tonight on a war
rant charging violation of the cspion-
age act. He will be held in Jail with
out bond pending his appearance
Monday before the United States COM
missioner.
The action is based on an alleged
declaration by DR.. Welnsberg in a
newspaper interview that the war
would end in six months with Ger
many the victor. DR.. Weinsberg. in
the newspaper interview, is quoted as
predicting thab the Austro- German
forces would break through the Ital.
ian lines as soon as weather permitted
and that tley Wsssd then pass
through northern Italy and invade
France from the Italian frontier.
This invasion, he said, would either
outflank the allied forces or will make
it necessary for the French to send
troops which they cannot spare to
hold back the new inroads.
This would make possible the
breaking of the French lines else
where and would bring about the de-
feat of France from which the British
and American forces would have to
be withdrawn
With Germany victorious over
France. he is alleged to have declared,
the war would become a naval and
commercial contest between Germany
and America and England conflict
which. he said it would not be to the
interest of any of the parties to pro-
long in view of the British food short
age and American unpreparedness for
the war.

WI ITH the French Army in
wv France. April 13 (by the Asso-
sociated Press) ALI efforts of
the German high command for the
present are directed toward the sys-
tematic disIocation of the British
armies. Having failed to break the
communications between the British
and French, the enemy has turned his
sole attention northward and it ap-
pears likely that the Germans will
continue to throw all their available
strength in that direction.
The enemy's plan seems to be to
deliver a succession of hammering
blows at different points between the
Somme and the sea and with the de-
sire of bringing about a British evac-
uation of the entire northern district
of France.
Six German armies are participant
ing in the battle raging along the
front.
Germans Move Quickly.
The Germans, owing to their pos
session of interior lines of communi-
cation inside the semi-circle formed
by the front, are able to move their
strategic reserves with greater facility
than the allies, and thus by surprise
attacks with rapidly concentrated
superior forces can compel the re-
tirement of the allies at any point,
Hitherto, owing to the great tenac-
ity Of the allies, the enemy has been
unable to carry out his plans of ad-
vance according to his pre-arranged
program. This has been learned
from orders captured on prisoners
who have fallen into allied hands in
considerable numbers these latter
days during close fighting
These orders foresaw the capture
of the line along the Lys river on
