WASHINGTON, March 4.-vast
preparations, both by the allies and
Germans are going forward rapidly
on the west front for the great strug-
gle.
The momentum of the battle is in
creasing, said the war departments
weekly review today.
1.-The enemy continues to bring up
fresh troops The allied war council
is now in continuous session, assuring
complete unity and flexibility OF con-
troll"
THE third month OF relative qui-
escence" on the western front has
now come to close, the statement
warns.
During this time both belligerent
groups have been massfng their
forces.
"The British have extended their
front. Our own forces have taken
over a sector northwest of Toul. In
addition mum Der Of our detached
units are in action in Champagne
And the fighting which has been
going on between the Americans and
the Germans during the last week
may give an idea," the statement ad-
ded, "of what is taking place on an
even larger scale along the entire
western front"
The Germans are experiencing some
trouble in moving their troops as the
transportation system is not in best
condition and the movements are SLOW
and laborious, says the statement.
Some added forces have been brought
up opposite the American line.
| Referring to the use Of gas against
the Americans. the statement added:
Our men are becoming accustom'
| ed to this weapon. our gas masks are
efficiently protective"
German air craft is still busy over
the American line, making active
and frequent incursions.'
! American volunteers aieHd the sue
cessful French raid against German
outposts in the region OF Chem1n Des
Danes.
That the Germans may be intending
to concentrate his effort In the Verdun
salient and upper Alsace Is the con.
clusion drawn from the statement that
ARTILLERY duels were insistent along
the entire front, f1aring up with Pc
culiar intensity" in those regions.
The report deduced that Moscow ap.
peared to be the objective Of much OF
the German drive in Russia and held
that the trend Of events has no DOUBT

degree as regards the western front
Turkish troops now hold the region
from the lake Of Van to the Black sea
and are killing Armenians in re-occu
pied territory.

y WAR OF SCIENCE THE

L Early in the war some little British

Also how do the enemy spies locat-

Old Laws, Modern Conditions.

New England, with its recollections
of ancient "blue laws" should be in
terested in the report that wartime
England has seen fit to revive statute
of Charles rs time prohibiting the
transaction of business on the Sabbath,
says the Springfield (Mass.) Repub-
lican. AS there is shortage of labor,
with the consequence that shop people
are overworked, the need of providing
a day of rest is acute, and numerous
shopkeepers have been arrested for do

After organizing the boys and girls
the precinct chairman OF the Wom-

tance in getting an organization
whereby the women of the town
might assist. We arranged for a
committee to develop the mothers

IMPORTANT INDIAN
APPROPRIATION BILL
NOW BEFORE CONGRESS

The Indian appropriation bill, the
conference report on which has been
agreed to by both the senate and
house of representatives, is of more
than usual interest to the people
OF New Mexico this year.
1t contains provision that no
Indian reservation shall be created
nor shall any additions be made to
one heretofore created within the
limits of the states of N,w Mesico
and Arizona, except by act of Con-
gress. This removes question which
for many years has been most
serious one in this state, and proh'-
bits the creation and enlargement
of Indian reservations by depart
mental action and executive procla-
nation, leaving the matter where
il properly belongs, with the duly
elected representative in congress.
The provision was introduced in the
senate by Senator Smith Of Arizona,
and was energetically and vigorously
supported by tlle entire New Mexico
delegation in both branches.
The bill also carries an appropria-
ton of $98 500 for the Albuquerque
school sSss $50 for Santa Fe school
$2sOOO for continuing work for the
Indian highway extending from the
Mesa Verde National Park to Gallup,
$4,000 additional appropriation to
the $25,OOO already made for the
building of a steel bridge across the
San Juan river near Pennington and
Sl6 to assist in the construction
OF wagon road between Tularosa
and the Mescalero Indian reserva-
ton.
