As has been anticipated, the Ger mans have switched the center of their main operations from the Amiens sec tor and are now haninering the Brit ish and Portuguese hard over front Of about eleven miles running from Givenchy and La Bassee to the vii cinity of Armentieres.
 The attack was preceded by a ter rife bombardment all along the EIse. and the countryside for miles around trembled under the concusSion of the big guns At some points the enemy was able to penetrate advanced ele- ments of the British line, especially in the neiShborhood of Neuve Chapelle, FauquissaFt and the Cardonnerie farm.
 Meanwhile all along the line the greater part of the old line south of Arras extremely violent artillery duels were in progress but the infantry of both sides kept to their trenches ex- cept for isolated attacks of no great importance. Near the Coucy forest and Coucy y-le-Chateau the French have made a slight retirement to po- sitions previously prepared-the manoeuvre apparently being in the nature of line strengthening. So well was the operation covered by the French guns that the Germans suf- fered extremely heavy casualties in endeavoring to make it null
 Details of the part played by Amer ican railway engineers in the opening stages of the battle south of Arras show that, dropping their tools and taking up arms, they fought side by side with Canadian engineers and in- dicted casualties by the thousands on the Germans as they advanced in close formation.

NINE MORE HONOR FLAGS
 FOR NEW ENGLAND CITIES
Pomfret and Haddam Are We'll Over
 Their Liberty Loan Allotment.

Boston, April 9.-Honor flags were awarded today to nine New England cities and towns whose reports of ever-subscription to the third Liberty loan had been officially confirmed by the New England committee.
 The first to be entitled to unfurl these flags are Southboro, Weston and West Tisbury, Mass: Stratford and Stewartstown, N. H.: Canaan, Vii roosl1i and Burlington, Vt. and Had dam, Conn. Reports received today indicated that Lynn Plymouth and Higganum and Pomfret, Conn.,, were well over their allotment
 Another claimant for an honor flag was Dalton. This town with m al lotment of $201, 900 reported subserip- tions of s92o,000 already in sight which. if obtained from reasonable number of individual subscribers would mean three blue stars on the 1 flag. The Pittsfield committee wired it expected to exceed it's quota of $1,. l 900,000 within a day or two.

land from the provisions of conscrip- tion, and that the age for military service would be raised to 50 years, and in certain specified cases it might be increased to 55. The premier de- clared that a bill would be introduced in parliament giving Ireland a measure of self government. Several of the nationalist members interrupted the premier during his speech and de- clared that conscription would not be permitted in Ireland.
 There is still no indication of the near approach of the expected Dig battle on the Italian front, although the artillery engagements at various points are increasing in intensity. Well directed shots from the Italian guns in the Asiago basin have worked havoc witf Austrian ammunition de pots and also started fires inside the enemy lines.

National recognition for the first place in the race for the third Liberty loan honor flag will have to be divided among probably hundred communities which subscribed their full quota with in few minutes after nine o'clock last Saturday morning and reported in such close order that it is impossi ble to give each an individual rank. Consequently the treasury has de clared the contest result a multiple tie and tonight gave out the names of forty-five communities in five federal reserve districts which are to share honors. Reports from other districts later are expected to swell this list to more than 100.
 n Forty-Five Already Tied.
 Among the forty five already tied at the top of the nations honor roll are: New York district: Bernardsville, Cranford, Englishtown, Far Hills, Lodi, Mendham, Pompton Lakes, Woodbridge, N. J., and Newtown- Conn.

 Seventy-one Canadian officers, all of whom have seen actual service on the western front in Europe, have been released by the British govern ment to conduct a speaking cam paign throughout the United States during the Liberty loan campaign. In addition 120 men of the Amer ican army have been assigned to aid in the speaking campaign. Sixteen of these have been members of General l Pershing's expeditionarv forces and all have suffered from shell shock. gas 1 or injury Some of them were in the first clashes in which the American l expeditionary forces engaged on the western front.

Paris, April e-The newspapers of Paris today discuss at considerable length the new turn in the Bolo Fash case. Although the severe censor shin prohibits any slirmises regarding the revelations. Bolo is e5Vected to make, their importance is shown by the decision, of the military govern ment to postpone the carrying out of the sentence of death imposed upon Bolo for treason.
 Bolo's counsel refused today to go beyond the official communication is- sued concerning the case, which says the revelations will deal with cases under investigation. Bolo's deposi- tions covered period of two hours Sunday evening and three hours Mon day. He was still being examined this afternoon.

ring now to the German reserves-on the northern part of our line.
 After the battle began. or imme- diately before the battle, the Germans by night brought their divisions from the northern part to the point where the attack took place. They also took several divisions from opposite the French in the, same way and brought them to our front. But it would have been equally easy for them, while concentrating troops opposite our front, to manoeuvre them in the same way opposite the French. I am only referring to that in order to show how exceedingly difficult it is for gen erals on the. defensive to decide ex- aetly where, in their judgment, the attack is coming and, where they ought to concentrate their reserves.
 Problem Studied at Versailles
 q may just say a word here. This problem was considered very closely by the military staff at Versailles and think it right. in justice to them, to point out that after very close study of the German position and of the probabilities of the case. they came to the conclusion, and they stated their conclusion to the military rep

 It is understood general co-opera- ton between the state and federal au- thorities is planned and that investi- cation of the recent lynching of sl German at ColIinsville. lils., will be only an incident of a programme Of wide scope.
 The announcement followed iong conferences between. department off, c.als and Lieutenant Governor Ogles- by of Illinois. Most of the difficulties arising must be dealt with directly by the state. but federal experts are wanted to aid with advice and inves- tigation. The most serious situation in the state is said to be i'll the south irn mining districts.

army in France was considerably stronger on the first of January, 1918, than on the first of January. 1917. Up to the end of 1917-up to, say, about, October or November-the German combatant strength in France was as two to the allies three. Then came the military collapse of Russia, and the Germans hurried up their released di- visions from the eastern front and brought them to the west. They had a certain measure of Austrian SUD- port, which had been accorded to them.
 Strength of Armies in 1917. Owing to the growth of the strength of our armies in 1917, when this battle began, the combatant strength of the whole of the German army on the western front was only approximately, though not quite equal I to, the total combatant strength O. I the allies in infantry. They were slightly inferior in artillery. They i were inferior in cavalry, they were considerably inferior, and, what is very important, they were undoubt- edly inferior in aircraft.
 Difference in Organization.
 'The Germans, therefore, organized | their troops so as to produce a large l number of divisions out of the slight 1 ly smaller number of infantry and i slightly smaller number of guns. They l had fewer battalions in a division and l fewer men in a battalion. That is en- | tirely a question of organization and it yet remains to be seen that their organization is better than ours It is necessary to explain that, in order that the house should realize why 1 with approximately the same number of men. the Germans have large number of divisions on that front. [ According to all the facts which have come to hand as to the losses of 1 the battle, that roughly represents the relative strength of the combatants On both sides at this moment The Germans had, however, one CT two important advantages. The first. the initial advantage, which is always commanded by the offensive, is that they know where they mean to attack | They choose the ground; they choose the location: they know the width ol the attack; they know the dimensions of the attack; they know the time o1 the attack; they know the method ol
 the attack. All that invariably gives the initial advantage 10 the offensive l Defense Has General Advantage
 "The defense has a general advan. tage. Owing to air observation con-
 cealment is difficult. At the same
 time, in spite of all that, owing to the
 power of moving troops at night
 which the Germans exercised to Q very large extent, there is large
 margin for surprise. even in spite oi
 air observation, and of this the enemy
 took full advantage.
 q should like to say one word here
 as to the difficulty which the allied generals were confronted with in this
 respect. Before the battle the great
 est German concentration was in from
 of our troops. That was no proo
 that the full weight of the attacl
 would fall on us. There was a very
 large concentration opposite tht
 French lines. There was very con. [. siderable concentrations am refer.
