With the British Armies in Flanders,
May 3.-There is still big concentra-
i5on Of men and guns opposite the Fran
co-British lines and a terrific new out
burst is liable at any time.
Hindenburg is playing 'posrum until
his armies are refreshed he will

Under the bluest May time sky, Mars
has put the lid. on Armageddon. Through
out yesterday and last night, while the

spasmodica1ly.
The British destroyed post in the
Lys area and the Canadians conducted
raid near Lens, capturing seven Ger
mans and three machine guns. The pres
c,lt activity reminds one of the mid
winter lull during the days of static
warfare.
1t is common talk among the ordinary
German soldiers, however, that condi-
lions at home necessitate some sort Of

Washington, May 3,-May movements
Of American troops to fill the gaps
abroad will exceed the record Of April
it was stated officially today. While tho
voluntary censorship preven y any eA-
tensive dealing in figures, it may bo
said that the April mark exceeded Or
iginal promises by considerable mum
Der Of thousands.
These facts, following close upon
Secretary of War Bakers revelations
of official plans for army expansion,
came with other information which
means American troops in Europe should
be well along coward the two million
mark before the year ends, II present
schedules are maintained or extended.
Added British tonnage for troop
transport is already in the service.
Brigading Of Americans with British
and French forces makes it possible 70
carry virtually five times as many SOL
diers as would be the case were the
American divisional organization keeps
intact and sent across with the neees-
sary supplies.
In connection with the facts given
out officially, some interesting INSIDE
data on the reserve question as 1t az
fects the wcNern front was made ayaii-
able.
Britain has had to use many Of her
reservas in France merely to check tho
boche, it was said. For that reason she
had to send an S. 0. s. for French aid,
as the nearest available, while she hur-
rjed across the channel the reserves
held in England and asked the United
States to has EN- our forces. Britain has
suffered considerable losses, but she has
done her share with the forces at her
command and her call for French aid
was nothing to her discredit.
The official source for the foregoing
facts added that the lnll in the western
strife means merely breathing spell
and .hst Germany all summer will keep
up her strokes.

DENOUNCES PROHIBITION.
Cardinal Gibbons Says Some Law makers Are Acting As CowardS.

Baltimore, Feb 7.-Cardinal Gib- bons denounced the national prohibit ton amendment and declared that legislatures of the states should not bow to the ''fantaticism that seems to be ruling us in this respect
 He declared that some of the law makers seemed to be acting through cowardice in going against their strong convictions and giving their vote for the amendment when it is brought up.
 "I feel" said the Cardinal, that if the amendment is ratified there will spring up in all parts of the country illicit stills that will manufacture a low grade of whiskey that will do more harm than the good grade that now is made is doing. Beer and light wines will pass out of existence, and the man who wants a drink will have to resort to the brand of intoxicant that is made surreptitiously, and we , all know what effect that will have on the men of the country
