commanders from launching more serl-

WASHINGTON. April es.-Wi,h the
Germans now rerilously near Ypres.
military authorities here believe that
withdrawal OF the British line to the
north with prospective abandonment OF
the Channel ports OF Dunkirk and Calais
is necessarily under consideration. Army
men here can see no alternative In case
the Ypres salient Is lost by the British.
and latest reports Indicate that the en-
emy is fast getting a fatal grip on
Ypres
There Il. however. a tendency here to
hope until tho end OF the struggle in
this area that something may happen
at the eleventh hour 10 turn the tide. 1t
10 understood that both Secretary Baker
ard Assistant Secretary Crowell are in
clined to believe that II would be mis-
take to give way to pessimistic deduc-
tions too soon, but II is noted here that
some OF the British newspapers have
been preparing the British public for
withdrawal for Ypres and to-night's re-
ports Indicate that these newspapers re-
eard the abandonment OF the Channel
ports as possibility which the British
SNOulu De prepared 10 race.
As predicted by General stan officers
here. the capture OF Mont KENNEL has
given the attacking German forces a
distinct advantage in the fighting now
under way. The German troops oc-
| cupyinR the chain of hills have appar.
emily been able TO push their way 10
Noormezeele, two miles south OF Ypres
A more menacing aspect is seen in
the progress which the Germans have
| apparently made from Langemarck
According to official German reports
the Teuton forces have progressed from,
Langemarck four and half miles
/ which Is two miles northeast Of Ypres
Germans are also reported to have
| reached HooEe. on the railroad line two
miles east OF Ypres. and the Germans
| also have captured Zillebeke. two miles
| southeast OF Ypres.
Thus the enemy has practically drawn
| a semi-circle around Ypres and their
dominatt ting positions on the ridges give
| them distinct advantages In holding this
grip.
Unless tho situation can be relieved
by some forward thrust elsewhere OF
the battle front the best remaining
attacks against the dominating chain OF
hills Of which Mont KENNEL is the Ike!
position. 1t is assumed here that the
most desperate efforts have been made
along this line.
Regardless OF what transpires. the
need for American troops and added
man power remains a vital factor In the
struggle. Every available ship Is now
being used or IL about to be used to rusl
troops abroad. Ships are even beini
withdrawn from passenger service ant
put In the troop transport service. Ths
number Of troops sent in March. It car
be stated, surpassed all previous record.
and exceeded the expectations OF a few
months ago as to what could be dont
this spring. This record will be exceeded

ROME, April 2S.--The lull on the
italian front Is not likely to be pro-
longed through May, although indica-
tions OF an imminent Austrian
offensive are yet lacking. Possibly the
Germans may aid the Austrians. for the
purpose OF seeking on the Italian front
the decisive results which are hopeless
in France. In which case the reserves
OF the Allies can be shifted here. Any
blow aimed at Italy Is destined newt
ably to failure.
This lis the prevailing opinion here

DO not dare, even as a last resort. TO
