Active On U. S. Sector
Increased activity, especially in the
artillery, on the western front, has not
yet resulted in any determined attack
by either OF the opposing forces. The
Germans are more active on the Brit
ish and Belgian fronts than elsewhere
On the American sector northwest
of Toul the artillery and aerial activ-
ity has increased. American gunners
have shelled effectively various enemy
targets opposite the American trench
es. The German reply was without re-
suit. German airplanes have attacked
American trenches with machine gun
fire, while French gunners brought
down an enemy airplane within the
American lines
selgians Drive Foe Back.
Near Kipps, in Flanders, the Bel
Gians have driven the enemy from
parts of trenches he took several
days ago.
Recent German attacks on the Brit
ish lines III the Ypres area were
checked through British knowledge of
enemy plans gained from deserters
and prisoners. The enemy intended
to take important positions south of
Houtholst forest, but heavy British
artillery fire prevented a major effort
and the strong British defense threw
back the strong local attacks the
Germans carried out.
Progress is being made by the Brit
ish armies in Mespotamia and Pales-
tine. Eighty miles west of Bagdad on

Trotzky Did Not
FAVOR Hun Terms

LONDON, March l1-Leon Trotzky
was dismissed as Bolshevik foreign
minister by Premier Lenine, owing to
a quarrel over the German peace terms
according to dispatch to The Morn
ing Post, dated Saturday in Petro-
grad. TrotZky held that the peace
had been extorted by force and that
no law recognized promises made un-
der duress as obligatory. Therefore,
he is reported to have said, it was
Russias duty to fight, if only guerrilla
warfare, and the German treaty should
not be ratified.
Premier Lenine. on the other hand,
held that the treaty must be ratified
and carried out on the theory that
disastrous treaties do not necessarily
annihilate nations, as Prussia had
proved several times.

BRITISH HOLD YPREs.

II Following the reports in yesterday
afternoons papers that the Germans
had begun another terrific assault on
the allied lines at Ypres, the morning
papers bring the assuring news that
the British have held the lines every.
where and that the enemy suffered
enormous losses. There was every in
dication in the afternoon reports that
the Germans we're beginning q des-
perate drive to wrest the important
position at Ypres from the allies, per-
haps the most desperate and violent
assault that has been made during
the more than month of continuous
fighting. The fact that the British
have held this position is evidence
that they are as strong today as they
were in 1914 when they stopped the
German drive ON the channel ports
id about the same locality. II the
Germans could not pass then, they
cannot pass now. Slight strips of ter
.ritory may be abandoned and even the
battered town Of Ypres may be evacu-
ated, but in the essential points Of de-
tense the British are not likely to be
overpowered.
/, And while the British with few
French reinforcements are holding
the extreme northern point the Amer
leans are getting into the battle be-
fore Amiens. America has been
thrilled by the announcement that her
soldiers are now actively engaged in
the thick of the greatest battle ever
fought on earth and that they are
helping to bar the Hunnish hordes
from Paris. The battle may last all
summer, but as long as the Americans
are there and are increasing in num-
bers, there will be no decisive ad-
vance by Hindenburg's forces,

AMERICANS IN FRANCE

Lieut.. Merritt Gutherie of Nash.
vile was the first Tennessean who
has been in the fighting in France to
return to tell his own people how the
Americans have borne themselves on
the field Of battle He brought the
assuring report that the soldiers
themselves are in the war to win, but
said that the only shadow of doubt
in their minds Is about the support
chat Is going to be given them by
the folks back home. There should
be no such doubt. The Third Liberty
Loan should remove that shadow
from their minds.
Lieut.. Gutherie ventnred the esti-
mate that 100000 Americans are now
somewhere in, France but his know.
ledge Of the true number was, per-
haps, no better than that of the gen.
eral public, for Gen. Pershing is not
posting bulletins OF information in
his camps any more than the war de-
partment is giving to the newspapers.
But whether the number BE 10000 or
100000 does not matter We know
there must be more. We also know
that those who are there are doing
heroic service and have already won
the praise of the French generals
under whom they have served. The
war is going to be won by America.
For more than three years the Brit
ish and French with some aid from
the Italians have held the Hun within
chain of cannon. The raving brutes
are now making desperate effort to
break through that chain and throw
it aside before the Americans arrive
in full force. Already the German
newspapers that spoke so contempt
uously Of the entrance of America in
to the war are beginning to warn their
people that the supreme effort must
be made before the arrival of the
Americans. They fear us. They know
that our men will be fresh and eager
to enter the fray. They know that
when our army is there In large num-
bers the real offensive will begin and
the fighting ere long will be on
German soil.
1t is the business OF America to get
there with her men as quickly as pos
sible and to that end ships are being
constructed with marvellous rapidity.
More ships are now splashing into
the water from their construction
