GERMAN DRIVE IS
MADE NECESSARY
BY OPPOSITION
HINDENBURG MUST Do SOME
THING AT ONCE OR LOSE PRES
TIGE-U-BOAT CAMPAIGN HAS
BEEN A FAILURE.

NEW YORK, April DISCRIMINATING
the situation on the west front, j. W.
r Mason, United Press war expert to-
day says:
The assembling of the reichstag this
week has increased the urgency for j
quick German victory along the west
front, and it is principally to fore
stall criticism by the members of the
reichstag than Won Hindenburg is now
trying to force his semi-exhausted
troops to further advance.
A firm stand by the Allies at this
time and the consequent abandonment
by Won Hindenburg of his new often
sive will undoubtedly have profound
effect upon the reichstag.
There is no question but that a crit
ical attitude toward the stupendous
west front slaughter of Germans has
arisen in the reichstag. The terri
torial gains are coming to be consid-
cred wholly inadequate compensation
for the heavy casualties by a growing
section of German public opinion. I'm
less Hindenburg, therefore, can con-
jure up a new victory of stupendous
proportions, he must submit to increas-
ing criticism at home that will Sc
riously threaten his prestige.
The reichstag has just heard from
Minister of Marine Won Capelle very
unconvincing statement about subma-
rine successes. The reichstag, too, is
beginning to realize that the govern
ments contemptuous disbelief in
Americas ability to send great army
to France is being shown to be the
greatest blunder of the war.
With the failure of the u-boats and
the failure of the German militarists
to foresee what Americas part in the
war would mean, it is no wonder that
most of the reichstag are becoming
skeptical of the value of Won Hinden-
burgs recovery at so tremendous a
blood cost of territory which he vol
unfairly abandoned a year ago.
Won Hindenburg's reputation may
even now be on the verge of collapse.
There is no doubt but that his unpar-
allied prestige at least is beginning 10
tremble with the halt of the German
advance.
The reichstag is privileged to ask
questions of the government These
qeustions must grow in embarrass~
ment as long as the Allies hold Hin
denburg at bay. Every German as
sault that fails along the west front
will be provocative of further unrest
among the members of the reichstag
in Berlin.

RELEASES PROBABLY
ALL HAVE STRINGS
By H. c. HAMILTON

dUnited Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, April 26.-OptionaT
agreements through releases to minor
league clubs by minor league teams
this year probably will be fragrant
Teams are not hanging onto recruits
with any great amont of tenacity, but
they are intent on sewing up the
promising ones in order to fill UP
probable holes as the draft or enlist
ment takes men The fact that fewer
minor leagues than usual will be in
the field his year is making it hard to
place recruits with strings tied to the
contracts, and minor leaguers are
kicking some over the reluctance of
majors. to release players outright.
Veterans, as rule, are being favor
ed in the big league teams makeup, FOR
they are less liable to call for selective
service. Big league managers are
WARY of the youth without family ties.
But whatever the makeup of the
teams it is certainty that baseball
will be of as much class this year as
in former seasons. Teams which have
been hard hit through losses to the
army or navy have done nobly in fill
ing up. The case of the Dodgers and
that of the Indians are excellent exe
ampIes of what can be done in base
ball when the need is pressing. The
Indians, while not quite so strong as
year ago, nevertheless will go into
the flag chase this year with first
division aggregation, one that will be
well able to hold is own.
The Dodgers were made up of poor
material last year The draft and en-
Iistment simply made them little
worse. The loss of Leon Galore
probably was the heaviest blow, but
the acquisition of AL. Mamaux made up
for that. The trade which sent Cut
shaw and Stengel to the Pirates also
helped in other ways until the draft
came along and derricked Chuch Ward.
But it was instrumental in pointing
out budding second basing star in
poung Schmidt, procured for Lincoln.
1t is iroDical that the White Sox and
Giants, pennant winners of last sum
mer should be less touched by draft
and enlistment Only two men have
felt the call among the White Sox.
and the Giants have lost only Dave
Robertson from among he regulars of
a year ago. These teams will go n
practically with their full strength
of a year ago, with the exception of
the loss of Herzog to the Giants.
