abatement that the attack is the most

should be continued with the same
Intensity for the next ten days It may
also prove the most costly OF the war

In the meantime army strategists are
watching for a renewal OF an often

American fighting forces are concen-
trated, and navy experts look for a
naval offensive by German battle
ships as well as submarines. The
Teutons, however, will ind the allies

sea. Here. too. the Germans may find
he losses more than they anticipated.
Capitalism Prevails.
In fact. notwithstanding the news
through the first British defenses at
San Quentin, optimism prevails
throughout official Washington. The
fact that the British are maintain
ing their lines near Cambria and are
doggedly opposing the German ad-,
vance in the south while the Germans

over devastated areas is declared by
the military men here to indicate
that counter attacks by the British
can later alter the whole aspect OF
the conflict.
Viewed from Berlin, the present
German offensive is counted upon as
likely to bring an early peace. View
ed from Washington II is a spur to
greater activity, q reminder Of the
great tasks that lie ahead and the
necessity for acceleration on all
sides. The National Capital with its
war executives is deeply concerned
over the German drive. but not ap-
prehensive over any serious reverse.
That is not really considered possible
on account OF the complex conditions
OF warfare. and the reserve power
which the allies have been MOBILIZE
ing for the last six months. But
more than ever do the military men
and officials generally here pray
that the entente may hold the enemy
at bay in this. the greatest German
effort. until the full strength OF
America can become a factor in the
struggle.

has laid before Congress startling
facts upon which to base q request
for legislation that WIN strengthen
existing laws and provide treatment
BY the Government for the restoration
Of these people.
1t is the opinion of Commissioners
Roper and his subordinatss that Con-
gress should provide treatment
through some agency and in his last
annual report such treatment was
urged
1t has been pointed out to Congress
slonal committees, now at work on
the subject. that a decision OF the
United Statets Supreme Court in the
case OF jim Fuzzy Moy makes Il diff
ncult TO control the Illicit traffic in
narcotic drugs by unregistered per-
sons. as under that decision the mere
possession OF any quantity Of drugs
Is not evidence OF violation of law,
forcing the Government to prove ac-
tual sales.
Police officials OF Washington who
look after enforcement OF the drug
law and who report to Federal off,
cials all information relative to VIOLA
tons OF the Harrison narcotic act are
greatly interested in the general ten
dency to lessen the narcotic evil.
Washington probably has fewer
drug addicts in proportion to popu-
latipn than any other city in the
United States but the evil exists here
and crops out at frequent intervals
In the police records of the city.
Police inspectors have lately found
that many new people coming here
for employment in the Government
service have contracted drug evils at
their. homes and are unable to break
away from the habits.

mans have succeeded in penetrat-

Cambria.

through some of their positions in

the British troops were falling back

Germans increased their artillery fire
and employed heavy masses OF in

The attacks centered in the sector
OF st. Quentin, where the British were
compelled to give ground. They fell
PACK to previously prepared posi-
tions.
Region Devastated.
The district through which the Brit.
ish retired had previously been COM
pletely devastated by the Germans
when they made their retreat from
the Bapaume-Peronne district last
year. 1t is virtually a desert of blasted
land and ruined farm houses. Even
the forests had been leveled.
In spite of the fury of the artillery
assault and the heavy pressure of the
infantry, the British soldiers be-
Ehaved with the utmost gallantry and
GOODNESS, retiring under orders to
fortifcations in their rear.
Heavy fighting continues along the
entire ffty-mile front from the Disc
to the Sensee river.

u S. SEEKS TO AID
VICTIMS OF DRUGS
IN DRAFT ARMY
by BILL PRICE.

To reclaim and make available
every ounce Of manhood's nerve forcs
In the United States, Government Of
noials are seeking to coordinate ef-
forts and devise plans for curing thou
sands OF drug addicts whose misfor-
tune practically units them for re-
sponsible active service in the fght-
ing ranks OF the country.
The division Of neurology and psy-
chiatry OF the surgeon general Of the
army has greatly advanced plans for
the establishment of narcotic hos
pitfalls at Fort Niagara or elsewhere
and these plans may soon become
working realities.
The chief object OF the institutions
will be to give treatment to men who
are drawn in the army drafts and
habitually are addicted to drugs to
the extent OF making them liabilities
instead OF assets to the United States.
Officials say that several hundred
thousand men in the first army draft
were excused from service and ex-
empted altogether on the discovery
OF their real ailments. In this way
the Government lost their services.
An immense number have been placed
in deferred classes as a result of the
QUESTIONABLE method for the second
draft.
Army physicians think that steps
should be taken to make these men
over by treatment in hospitals for
that purpose. There will also be ad-
mitted to these hospitals soldiers in
training at the various environments
who went into the service with the drug
evil gripping them SO strongly that
they have been unable to throw II off,
and have been getting deeper into it's
clutches.
Army officials are loath to talk on
the subject, but experts In neurology
and kindred questions say that more
than 80 per cent OF the young men of
draft age who are addicts . can be
cured In from two TO three months
through modern methods. Once cured
they never fall into the habit again.

lions for dismissal are not granted
has been set forward to April 10 BY
Commissioner Hit. This date may
be advanced to some earlier day
should the papers be filed earlier, and
upon agreement OF attorneys.
There was much confusion this
morning as to the present status OF
the proceedings. The succession of
continuances and sdJournments that
| have been taken in the matter left
the affair in comparative confusion,
and considerable time was devoted to
discussion OF what stage the case
Is now in. Finally, attorneys agreed
on setting next Thursday as the time
10 rthe hearing on the motions for
dismissal only.
These motions as filed by Mr..
Bailey. ask dismissal of the complaint
against Godsol on three grounds, as
follows:
Because IT does not set forth the
bstantial and material features Of an
onense nor does II state explicitly,
clearly and distinctly any facts which
viii enable Godsol to understand pre-
else the ofrense with which he is
charged.
Because the application, for his arrest
AMI detention was made in the first
instance TO the United States Commits
sioner instead. OF to the Secretary Of
state and II does not allege or show
SUCH urgency as Is essential to such
procedure.
Because the complaint doe. not set
forth such substantial and material
features Of Godsol's alleged offense as
will enable him to claim or the United
states to grant him the protection Of
that article of the Franco-American
treaty prohibiting his trial or punish
men for any crime or offense commit
ted prior To his cXtradition other than
the onense Tor which 1t is sought in
the proceedings 10 have him delivered
up.
Attorneys for the defense sought to
have the motions Tor dismissal ruled
upon at this, mornings session, but
Commissioner Hit allowed District
Attorney Laskey's objection on the
ground that he WIS entitled to notice
of the motions in advance.
This precipitated a discussion Of
whether GodsoI had legally been COM
mitted under that clause OF the treaty.
which provides for commitment Of the
respondent in this action for a period
of forty days pending arrival of neces-
sary papers from France. Commits
sioner Hit ruled that Godsol had been
legally committed for forty DAYS. &C

ton for dismissal OF the Complaint
was again taken up.
