Where Foe Is Active.

Observers have reported extraor-
binary activity along the roads and
railways Immediately behind the
Douai. Cambria, st. Quentin sector.
New light railways have been built
within the last few weeks and strong
trench lines erected. particularly be-
hind st. Quentin. Many dugouts have
been constructed, capable Of resisting
the fire of any but the largest-caliber
guns. New barbed wire has been
added to the old entang1ements to
surround all important posts and de-
fenSe areas.
In the St. Quentin area the new
trench lines, 1t is reported, run along
behind the town on the front Of the
ST. Quentin canal, just northeast Of
that town.

SOME U. S. PRISONERS MAY
COME HOME VIA SWEDEN

Tentative plans are being made SO
American war prisoners in Germany
who because Of their geographical loca-
ton would be exchanged through
Sweden may be brought back home
on commercial ships having safe con-
ducts outside the war zone. instead
Of being shipped on transports TAX
ing the risk of submarine destruction.
Ira Nelson Morris. American minis
ter to Sweden, initiated the negotia-
lions in Stockholm, in which the Swe-
dish government was found very
friendly in broaching the proposal to
Germany American Red Cross Off
Gals have been consulted, and it was
said today that, barring complica-
lions. the plan had good prospects OF
success.
Some American war prisoners in
Germany, by reason of the camps in
which they are located, necessarily
will be exchanged through Switzer-
land, but many others can be relieved
Of long railroad journeys and perilous
ocean passage through the plan
worked out by Mr.. Morris.
Mrs Morris already is interesting
herself in the work of preparing for
hospital accommodations for the Amer
leans when they reach the borders Of
Sweden.

also blot out distinctive bends

muddy country, even as regards that

Explains Withdrawal.

These reports throw light upon the
underlying reasons for the great Ger
man withdrawal and complete aban-
donment of the drive. which was
started last March. It was vitality nee
essary that the enemy shorten his
lines to conserve his troops. BY with
drawal to the Hindenburg line he has
reduced the length Of his front be-
tween Ypres and Rheims by about
sixty miles.
It is not yet clear whether tho Ger
man high command considers the
Hindenburg line short enough to be
held with the present German forces.
The general trend Of that old de-
fensive front forms a great curve from
Verdun to tho North sea, bullying out
ward in the center to take in Lille.
Douai. Cambria, st. Quentin. Laon
and other towns now menaced by the

to the region of the Belgian border,

held. but there are many Indications
that the first stand. at least, Is to be

BUY ALL THE SUGAR YOU
 WANT FOR PRESERVING

From The Southwest American.
 Fort Smith, May f2.-There is no limit on the amount of sugar that can be purchased for preserving purposes. The government looks with favor on efforts to preserve fruit, and it is the intent of all sugar regulations to pro- vide an unlimited supply for this pur- pose. This statement is authorized by the local food administration.
 An impression seems to have gained credence in the city that not more than 25 pounds of sugar may be purchased by any one person for preserving purposes during the sea- son. That impression is erroneous, and doubtless was created by the reg ulation providing that not more than 25 pounds of sugar can be sold for preserving at any one time But there is no restriction whatever on how many purchases may be made, so long as the sugar is used solely for preserving fruits and vegetables, making of jelies and the like.
