ity and knowledge of the events OF

formation as to the scope lof the

OF the war
Mr.. Davis opened his address with
resume Of the events which pre-
:eded the entrance of America into
he great conflict, and reviewed in
some detail the great efforts made
by President Wilson to keep Amer.
ica out Of the struggle. He told how
the Germans had repeatedly pledged
that the international rules OF war
atre should be observed, and how
they just as often disregarded their
pledges He told how the Huns had
time and again violated, not only the
pledges expressly made to America
but had pursued a barbarous course
without parallel in all history in such
violations, until at last America was
forced to draw the sword to aid the
lilies in making an end of the Ger
man menace to the liberty and civ.
ilization OF the world.
Mr. Davis then taok up and re
viewed the events OF the first year
Of Americas participation in the war
He told at some length of the great
work accomplished task which in
its immensely had never been equal

the world in the same length OF time,

tended their lines during the night,
the war Office reported today East
OF yaire and South of Corbie, the
German artillery fire increased in
violence. The whole British front
from Lens to the LaBaffee canal and
east Of Armentieres was heavily bonn
barded with gas shells throughout
the night tCorbie lies about eight
miles east OF Amiens, and Vaire is
slightly south of corbie. The new
cannonading Of the German artillery
north of the Picardy battle zone to
the Belgian frontier indicated that
the Germans may extend their infan-

Violent Artillery Actions
Paris, April 8-During a cessation
OF infantry actions last night, violent
artillery duels broke out along the
French section Of the Picardy front,
notably on the southern bank of the
Gfse river. according to the official
communication Of the French war
cffice today. French patrols captured
few prisoners. German surprise at
tacks in the .Argonne and on the
Meuse river failed.

(By international News Service.)

(By international News ServIce)
Two big possibilities stood out in the Picardy battle
zone today -
l. Increasing activity by German artillery between
Lens and LaBalfee canal indicating that the Germans
may undertake new drive toward the channel coast
from that sector.
2. A concentration of German pressure against the
French along the Disc river just west of the forest of
St Cochin where the German lines approach nearest to
Paris,
There was a cessation of fighting the greater
part Of the Pcardy front last night but the British
tended their lines south of the Somme river in the Cor
bic Ware district between eight and 10 miles east OF
LAmiens.
European military critics hold that if the Germans
contemplate direct drives against Paris and the channel
coast the Disc river sector east Of Noyon and the Lens
LaBaffe district would be the logical places from which
to launch them. The Germans claim to have made
siderable of an advance the left bank of the Disc south
