BRITISH ARRIVAL ON BANKS
 OF JORDAN IMPORTANT

LONDON: Much importance is at- tached to the arrival of the British on the banks of the Jordan, Reuters Limited learns from an authoritative source.
 Gen. Allenby's advance from Jeru- salem was carried out under great difficulties. It was made during heavy rains and when the British had to march over hills comparable only to masses of slippery soap.
 Possession of Jericho is an import ant step toward establishing touch between the British and their Arab allies.
 Gen. Allenby's force is now en- camped along the Jordan. With the latest advance, the British position is quite we'll defined. The right flank rests on the Dead Sea and the left on the Mediterranean, so if the enemy wishes to attack, he can only make a frontal assault. The British now con- trol the Dead Sea and have access to the rich lands east of the sea.

SECOND DRAFT MAY
 BE CALLED DURING APRIL

WASHINGTON: While war depart ment officials reiterate that no date has been definitely fixed for the call ing of the second draft of the nation al army, all indications would seem to point to some time during the month of April or at the latest early in May. Such an estimate is based on the known preparations for equipping and housing the men.
 The number to be called in the first increment has not yet been deter mined because the question of hous- ing them has not been disposed of.
