Reports From Battle
Front Favorable to
Allies, London Hears
BY associated Press

London, April 1.-The reports from
the battle front this morning are re-
garded as favorable for the allies and
the belief is held that the first onrush
of the enemy has been stemmed. He
is engaged in the process of con-
solidating his positions and bringing
up heavy artillery, and it is expected
when this work has been completed
another big blow will be delivered
with all the energy which he still
has.
With strong reinforcements on the
ground and with coordination of
command, the hope is expressed here
that the allied line will prove i'm
pregnable and that the Germans will
dash themselves against it in vain.

REPR|SALS ON HUNS.
BEING CONSIDERED.
Allies Urged to Act Regard
ing Destruction of French
:. and Belgian Property.

An ultimatum to Germany regard
ing the ruthless destruction of cities
and private property in northern
France and Belsiu=ss being urged on
the allies and the United States and
is under consideration.
Eh0 burning of Cambria and st.
Quentin and the devastation of one of
thEmost populous regions of Europe
as the Germans retreat has aroused
great indignation. and it was said in
diplomatic circles today that Germany
would be warned soon that if she
allows the work of destruction to
CONTINUE severe reprisals will follow.
Attack on Rhine Cities Suggested.
1t - suggested that the cities of the
Rhine should be marked for destruc-
ton and that the Berlin government
be told that for every French and
Belgian city ruined without military
reason a city equally important and
valuable sentimentally and materially
will be laid waste.
Since reprisals by bombing have
caused the Germans to discontinue to
a great extent their air attacks on de-
fenseless communities it is felt here
that a similar warning might be eff
fective in bringing home to the Ger
man people the danger of retaliation
for ruthless destruction of territory
now. occupied by their troops.
Tells of Germans Ruthless Work.
An official dispatch from France
quotes the Petit Parisien as follows:
Cambria is burning. This is the
new crime accomplished by those
great destroyers of life. Cambria, the
historical city, with all her memories
of the past; Cambria, the modern
town with its industries. is falling to
pieces among a red and black whirl-
wind of sparks and flames. The Ger
mans have left, but threw as they
went their incendiary torches on the
valuable remembrance of ancient
France. Our allies, who had taken
such precautions to save the town,
contemplate, horror stricken, the Ger
mans impious work.
