IF GERMANY MOVED INTO
TEXAS

Despite the volumes and
miles of columns that have
been printed about everything
pertaining to the war, how
many Americans realize the
whole empire of Germany
could be put inside of a single
American state? Texas could
contain all of Germany and
have enough room left over to
accommodate New York and
New Jersey.
One of the Review of Re-
views staff editors of 1000
Questions and Answers About
the War" dug that fact out in
trying to answer a question by
a cOmmon-sense citizen who
asked, "Just how big is this
darned old Germany any,
way? Don't tell me in square
miles, for the love of Mike!
Square miles don't mean any
thing in my young life"
Fifteen Germanies," says
the editor in the book, could
be put inside of our own United
States And there would be
room for few Americans to
walk around the fringes, at
that.

OTTAWA, April 19.-The French in their successful attack on the west bank Of the Avre, in which they took 500 prisoners, inflicted on the Germans casualties equivalent to the entire ht- tacking force of the French" says Rsu- ter's correspondent at French head quarters in dispatch received tonight.
 Asserting that all objectives were obtained in two hours and that the foe was deprived of several useful points of departure for the next drive past Han gard towards Amiens, the dispatch says:
 The ground gained is about mile in depth on front of three miles. That the operation is embarrassing to the Germans seems certain. The eneh1y has on a several mile front in this sec tor, massed divisions awaiting the op- portunity to push out toward Amiehs.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, April 19.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-All efforts by the Ger mans to keep the French engaged around Hangard- en- -Santerre and pre- vent them from sending reinforce ments further north, where the enemy is launching an attack against the British lines, have failed. The French in the course of numerous engage ments in this district have greatly improved their positions and have not in any way been deceived by the attempted diversions of the enemy.
 The battles in the neighborhood of Hangard have been of fierce character, involving hand to hand fighting in the streets and houses. The village itself has changed hands several times but now is firmly held by the French, who, throughout the most determined onslaughts of the Germans have displayed heroic cour- age.
 The Germans have lost enormous numbers of men, their dead lying about everywhere. A considerable number of their men also have been forced to surrender. Since April F there have been repeated small at tacks by German shock troops. All were repulsed.

 CONSTRUCTION WORK
1ReuubIican A. p. Leased WireJ

AMSTERDAM, April 19.-German newspapers report a lively debate on the | boat question in the main com mittee of the reichstag yesterday. George Gothein, progressive, demanded an acceleration of the building pro- gram. declaring that the naval depart ment had ordered too many different types of boats and had refused to stim- ulate construction by giving yards or ders for a series of submersibles. He expressed a lack of confidence in the departmept and declared the American production of steel too great for the entente allies to suffer from lack of this material.
 Admiral von Capelle minister of ma rine, contended that the yards weEe working to their utmost and that the alteration was due to the requirements of various theaters of war. He con- cluded by saying that Germany must under all circumstances prepare for a long war.
 Dr. Wolfgang Kapp, conservative, said that the direct effect of the U- boat war was that Japan had not in- tervened in the war with big army. He said the U-boat building must be hastened without regard for the end of the war

Republican 4. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Ship con- struction in this country has exceeded many fold American losses by subma- rines since the United States entered the war, shipping board officials today said in discussing the statement of the German minister ofAthe navy, Admiral von Capelle, before the main committee of the reichstag that U-boat sinking were thrice or six fold the tonnage of new British construction. It was pointed out that he made no such claim with respect to American shipping which has suffered loss of only three or four vessels since war was declared.
 Sinking of American ships were more frequent when the United States was neutral and unarmed against att tack. It was said today that not more than 40 merchant ships flying the American flag had been lost from all causes since the war began nearly four years ago.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, April 19.-A point on the Texas border probably Matamoras, opposite Brownsville, is one of the first objectives of General Luis Caballero's revolution in Tamau- lipas, according to reports received here, and Caballero is said to be send ing a body of troops In this direction. The railroad between Victoria and Tampico has been cut and all rail con- munication between Tampico and the interior is severed.
 Considerable speculation was created along this portion of the border to- night as to just what, if any, relation Cabalero's revolt, which admittedly is assuming greater importance, has to German propaganda which is known to have been active in Tamaulipas for months.
 It was said tonight that German in- fluence has for months been bending itself to cause trouble in northeastern Mexico in the hope that complications might arise that would interfere with the oil supply of the entente allies in the Tampico district.
 IL was rumOred tonight that four i'm portant federal generals including Gen eral Eugenio Lopez had joined forces with Caballero.

Are in Fine Shape

The Blues supposedly reached Del Mar at o'clock last night, too tired to proceed further. They were per mitted to do unlimited scouting but could move no troops until a. m. to- day. They threw out advanced posts. and sent patrols far southward. Gen. eral Hall stretched a line of infantry and machine guns from near Camp Kearny westward almost to the sea coast, cutting all roads southward ahead of the advancing Blues. He also held a strong force ready to move to any threatened point.
 Their long march brought the Sev- enty-ninth brigade into Camp Kearny today ahead of their schedule of 10 days in field problem work. The men marched in with heads high, many or ganizatons singing and one Colorado company giving college cheers. They appeared in splendid health and spirits, despite their gruelling march, under a l hot sun, faction which officers com mented on favorably.

Humanity Will Triumph

The might of militariSm may pre- vail for a time, but right and human ity must triumph in the end. The fore es of the allies have suffered not few reverses. But these temporary suc- cesses, no matter how great they may be, do not mean that the enemy will win in the end. It is his last desperate stroke. He must strike now, before America can throw her full strength into the fray or he cannot win at all. All Germany knows that it is the su- preme effort. But whether it succeeds or fails, it does not mean a final tri- umph for Germany, for America and the nations allied with her will never lay down their arms until this menace to the world is removed. No matter how long it may take; no matter how great the sacrifice in blood and treas- ure. we will never sheath the sword until autocracy is put out of busi- ness."

We fortunately purchased liberally of the later spring fashions in wool suits, coats and separate skirts, as soon as ready. AS they were made early, of materials the manufacturers had on hand, we re enabled to offer truly excellent values.
 -The outlook for fall gar ments is not bright from the retailers standpoint, as al- lotments are certain to be small. The shrewd woman will supply herself with a pretty suit, coat or skirt now-enjoy the wearing of 1t these cooler days, use it on the shore or in the moun- tains and have it for early fall wear. The government is communicating so much of the country's woolen output that not only are prices going to be high, but woolen cloths will be scarcer than ever before.
