Huns Concentrate Army at Junction W Allied Forces

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE. April G., (By the as sociated ss)-The artillery alone made war during the night aid early this morning. but made it with great vigor, chiefly in the vicinity fthe junction of the French and British, where strong enemy concentrations are visible. The infantry scarcely came into action, seemingly marking time. while taking rest. perhaps for another front push here or else where.
 The present fighting is progress ing over a rather broken country, and the Germans are meeting with the fiercest resistance on every inch of it, and they are open to counter attacks that are peril ous for them. The slight flucta- tions in the lines in the last few days show how the French and British are taking advantage of the natural formation of the ground. while they are strengthen ing their defensive lines and their artillery.

ARIZONA MUST. SEND 47O MEN
 IN NEXT DRAFT.
Three Times Original Number Will Leave for Training Camps in Five Day Period Commencing April 26.

WASHINGTON. April 6.-Approxi- mately 150,G00 men will be sent to training camps during the five day oeriod beginning April 26. under or ders sent to state governors today by Provost Marshal General Crowder for mobilization of the April call of the second draft This is three times the number it was originally planned to call and is nearly twice the monthly quota. as based on the calling of S00,O00 men over a period of nine months.
 Calling out of the increased num- Der was made necessary by the de- cision of President Wilson to respond without delay 10 the need of France and Great Britain for achievements in the great battle in Picardy.
 Vacancies in national army divisions resulting from withdrawal of men to complete national guard and regular army units and for the formation of special technical units asked by Gen eral Pershing. will be made good by the April draft. Those divisions furthest advanced in training are to receive first attention in order that the maximum number of complete units may be sent abroad soon.
 Failure of congress to pass the amendment to the selectiye service act, which would permit the fixing of state quotas on the number of men in class one, necessitated temporary ad- herence to the old system. Local boards have been officially advised however. that they are to ignore quotas" for the time being and to simply continue calling up men until they have obtained the number they have been instructed to forward.
 When a basis for establishing state quotas has been found. due credit against future increments will be given for those already called. Among the men to be called will be approxi- mately 116.700 whites and 33,700 ne groes. Pennsylvania leads with 1O.- 965 called; Ohio is second with 1O.- 302 and New York third with, 10,171.

 PARIS, April 6.-Heavy fighting has take? place in the Disc and Somme regions but all the powerful German attacks today were repelled by the French troops, except on the left bank of the Disc, where the French were forced to withdraw to positions previ- ously prepared, according to the war office announcement tonight
 The text of the statement reads: "The artillery action was violent on the front of the Disc and the Somme The enemy this morning delivered d strong attack on our positions be- tween Mesnil-St Georges and Mon chel.

GERMAN DRIVE WEARS AN|ENS
Prussians' Thrust Is Cause of Anxiety By Washington Military Officials As Allied Statements Are Vague.
lRy Revlcw I.ensed NIrel


 WASHINGTON. April 6.-Repeated assurances from allied leaders that Amiens. objective of the renewed Ger mah onslaught in Picardy. will not be captured. did not lessen today the anX,ety with which officials here ex- amined brief and unsatisfactory off cial statements from London and Paris for clear knowledge of the progress of the battle.
 Members of the senate military con- mittee, who were given their weekly repct on war preparations in the United States by the war department, again studied the battle situation on official maps. They were impressed by tho nearness of the German lines to Amiens and were not inclined to regard the menace in that region as definitely checked
 Command Approach?
 As the lines laid early today, it seemed probable that heavy artillery brought up by the Germans. com manded the eastern approach to the town and the railway functions in tha- direction. If so the communica- tion lines radiating from Amiens on that front must be virtually useless to the British army the official state ments failed. however. to disclose the situation in this regard.
 It was noted that press dispatches laid stress upon the fact that thus far the Germans have been unable to widen the salient they have projected into the allied lines where the British and French overlap. Officials here agree that as long as the Hanks of this man operation are checked it is high ly improbable that the attempt to cut the two armies apart can meet with any success.
 Try "Pincer" Movement.
 The enterprise in the Albert region is believed to be designed to inaugur- ate a ''pincer" movement through ap- preaching Amiens from another direc- tion. If successful the British line to the south would be undermined and the main salient of attack widened to give room for a possible turning move ment in either direction.
 The general situation as to Ameri can war supplies appeared more satis- factory to the senators today There was distinct evidence. it was said of the ihcI easing production. The avia- tion situation was described by Sena- tor Hitchcock. however. as very bad.
 President Wilson gave new impetus to the war work during the day by the appointment of Edward R. Stettinius as second assistant secretary of war in charge of all industrial and com mercial aspects of the department. In egect MT. Stettinius becomes a direc- tor of munitions with full authority to act.
 At the same time Frederick Keppel was appointed third assistant. in charge of the non-military aspects of army life He will supervise all mat ters relating to vocational training and recreation in the service.

BRYAN. Post Commissary

Comdr. Samuel Bryan, post commits
sary at the Naval academy, was asked
recently by the House Committee on
Naval Affairs to make statement re-
garding the condition of the farm and
dairy herd in his charge.
The impression prevailed among the
members of the committee that the low
death rate from influenza was to a
great degree due to the purity of the
milk supplied from the dairy. Com
mander Bryan stated he had on hand
450 cows. $40 of which were producing
$50 gallons of milk day.
He replied in the affirmative to
Chairman Padgett's question as TO
whether the milk would measure up to
the standard of certified milk Ii was
equivalent to that supplied Boston,
New York and Philadelphia at about 81
a gallon. The milk was sold to the
academy at seventy cents per gallon.
Commander Bryan also said the
farm raised about one-quarter of the
hay and all the cprn needed. but. the
grain had to be purchased. In answer
to a question Commander Bryan said
that five years ago he bought COW of
fine grade for $50. A similar animal
today would cost 1925.

Mr.. Smith was suffering from demen-
tia, as he had been depressed and had
shown signs of mental trouble for
some time. He was liked by the en-
tire community in which he lived, and
was the kind of man whose word
was his bond" Everybody trusted
him and put the utmost confidence In
him. He was an excellent farmer
and successful one.

ing near Jones' Station on the Mary

throat with a razor. He was near
death when found, and died shortly
after. He was totally deaf and had
been in ill-health since last summer
