TO TAKE FIRM STAND
Troubles in ireland Cause Amerl-
can Officials Concern.
Necessity Of Some Action Is Impressed
Upon Washington by Recent
Meetings Here.

Washington, May 21.-The United
States government, according to IN
dications, will soon make clear IT'S
attitude toward the latest develop
ments in the Irish situation.
Resolutions adopted by recent Irish
mass meetings in this country and
the reported approaching visit to
Washington OF the lord mayor of Dub
lin are understood to impress upon
administration officials the necessity
for some action. ...-3.
State department officials declined
fatty to discuss a report from Lon
don, that some Of the evidence upon
which Sim Fein leaders were arrest
ed. had been gathered here.
In any statement that may be made
regarding Ireland it is understood
that the United States government
will take a firm position with due
regard to the fact that American SOL
diers are fighting with the British in
France against the common enemy.
London, May 21.-"We understand
the government has conclusive EVIL
dence," says the Daily Mail, in re-
gard to the Irish arrests. "The dan
ger to the Allied cause should not
be underestimate. The Germans
clearly hoped that at the supreme
moment of the gigantic offensive
which they are now preparing the
Sim Fem would hamper our forces
and distract our efforts by great in.

French Make WhirlWind Attack
Along Narrow Front in the
Locre Sector.
RETAIN Their. GROUND
Positions Taken Will Prove Of Great
Assistance in RepeIIins the An
ticipated Offensive Of the Ger
mans in That Region.

| With the British Army in France,
May 21.-In the Locre sector French
troops, who are fighting alongside
the British, have made another of
their whirlwind attacks and have
thereby advanced their line along q
1000 yard front.
Several hundred German prisoners
have thus far been brought in. The
| prisoners have been sent on the hap
by road to the French rear.
No attempt was made to push for
ward to a great depth and all obtec-
tives were gained. AS a consequence
there has been a decided improve
ment in the Allied positions.
Teutons Forfeit Vital Ground.
London, May 21.-The French ad-
ministered a smashing blow against
the German front northwest of KEN
mel, in Flanders, netting them more
than140O prisoners in an advance over
front of 1000 yards. This import
ant progress was made east and
northeast of the village Of Locre,
which is the pivot of the Allied front
protecting the southern flank Of the
Ypres salient. ra
The success deprives the Teutons OF
valuable ground from which to start
the impending drive. 1t bars the ap-
proaches to Locre even more firmly
and adds to the possibility Of French
drive against KENNEL when the mo-
ment is deemed favorable.
Berlin Comedies Attack.
Terrific and effective artillery prep
aration lasting many hours heralded
the brilliant dash of the Poilus on
the vital sector of the British Flanders
front. Berlin in its day communica-
ton foreshadowed the attack by re-
cording "violent" and Intense" she'll
ing in the KENNEL region during the
night and early this morning. This
German night report asserts the
French assaults "broke down with
heavy losses" .....Ea
The German war office was also
obliged to concede yesterdays Brit
ish success in entering Ville- Sur-Ancre
below Albert though it claims the
British attempts to push the advance
and subsequent attacks on Morlan-
court 'broke down with sanguinary
losses" ,@%

Allied aircraft again was feverishly
active during the last "a hours. The
British accounted for 81 German ma
chimes while bombing planes dropped
1G tons of high explosives on import
ant works and stations behind the
German line Twelve British ma
chimes failed to return.

(By kssocieled Press.)

LONDON. Aug. 12.-British gov
eminent advices through Swedish
channels say that the reason given
for the arrest OF British consuls at
Moscow is that members OF the Soviet
government were said to have been
shot at Archangel. The British gov
eminent has demanded the release OF
Robert II. B. Lockhart, attached to
the British embassy in Russia, but no
immediate threatening steps Will be
taken. Much anxiety exists concern
ing other members of the British and
French displomatic missions and there
are apprehensions that they may
have been detained somewhere on the
journey northward. No direct news
from Moscow is obtainable because
the Bolsheviki have cut off telegraph
ic communication.
Dispatches from London, dated Aug.
9 and 10. reported London newspapers
as saying that ]. o. Wardrop. the Brit
ish consul at Moscow has been ar
rested with Mr.. Lockhart.
The Daily Mail, reported that six
Britishers attached to Mr.. Lockharts
staff and several French diplomatic
agents also had been arrested.
