ENGLISH HOPEFUL
ABOUT CHECKING
FOE AT AMIENS
German Advance Has Been
Greatly Retarded Is Be-
lief of Allies
BY Associated Press

London, March 30.-The heavy
continued pressure of the enemy's
converging movement has brought
the Germans to within about twelve
miles of Amiens. The British line
now is west of Marcelcave and De-
mum, but despite this the situation
is still regarded as hopeful. While
arrested. it certainly has been great
ly retarded.
The explanation for the movement
on Arras, according to French critics,
is that the Germans felt that the
shape of the salient driven into the
British line exposed them to flank
counterattacks and they extended
their offensive toward Arras. How
ever. although the enemy achieved
some local success, including the cap
ture of a British battalion which
fought courageously until surround
ed, the attempt to capture Arras
failed.
French military authorities feel
very hopeful over their success In

CONVICT SLAYER
OF WIN. DUNBAR
Murderer of Former Harris
burger Sentenced to the
Chair at Singsing

Little Valley, n. Y, March 30.-
Giovapbatestia Ferrara, alias Vet
tro Rosso, has been found guilty of
numbering William Dunbar. a ma
tive of Harrisburg, Pa, whom he kill
ed during an alteration along the
Pennsylvania Railroad at FranElin-
vile, n. Y, July IL, 1917, on which
Ferrara was employed as a foreman
and Mr.. Dunbar as a supervisor.
Ferrara was at once sentenced
to die at Sing Sing prison during
the week of May 13.
The testimony was to the effect
that Ferrara had been dismissed hy
Dunbar for inefiiciency and falsify
ing. that the two had started down
the railroad tracks together, the for
eigner a few steps to the rear of
Dunbar. Ferrara tried to make out
case of self-defense, saying that
Dunbar had knocked him down when
he asked for his pay and had threat
ened him with stones, whereupon he
shot Dunbar and ran away. Other
workmen, some distance away, swore
that they were first attracted by the
firing of a shot, saw Dunbar turn
and face his assailant, saw the for
eigner fire again and Dunbar fall.
In view of the fact that Mrs. Dun
bar. wife of the murdered man, was
able to identify his overcoat, which
showed that he had been shot in
the back, Ferrara's plea of self-de-
fense did not stand.
The foreman had a reputation for
killing. it being charged that he had
changed his name after having killed
| a man in Pittsburgh. In Philadel-
phia, where he was captured after
| the Dunbar murder, he stabbed a
detective to death who tried to ar
rest him.

Echoe de Paris says France as a
whole does grateful homage to the

there has been and there is more

blood between the two countries"
The Petit Journal says: General
Pershing's act asking so nobly to
share in the honors and sacrifices of
that battle of nations, now in prep
aration is a solemn warning to the
central empires of the grim resolve
of free nations to conquer"
General Pershing's words to Cen
eral Foch have in their simplicity a
deep meaning" says the Figaro.
They bring out the magnitude Of the
stake at issue. On the events of the
Somme hangs not ony the fate of
England and France, but of civiliza
tion and progress for which Germany
victorious would substitute her coarse
methods of human exploitation"

Situation Is Improved,
But Still Very Serious

London, March 30.-Although the
London newspapers regard the situa-
ton on the western front as still seri-
Gus there is noticeable tone of
greater confidence in their discussion
of the battle now in its tenth day.
The Daily Mail says:
Until Montidier is recovered and
the Germans are beaten back from
recent positions east of Amiens the
situation must remain serious
French reserves continually are ar
irving and entering the battle but
as yet the German advance cannot
be said to have been stopped"
The Daily Graphic believes to-
days news is distinctly encouraging,
while the Daily Telegraph says:
The week ends fairly well. It
has been the most breathless and
anxious time for the allies since the
opening days of the war, but the en-
emy has been slowed up and every.
day that passes strengthens our con-
fdence the more"
