ACTIVITIES OPENED
ON WESTERN FRONT
WITH HEAVY FIRE
COMMANDMENT OF THREE SEC
TORS Is BELIEVED TO PRESAGE
GERMAN DRIVE-TWo WEsNS
IN PREP RING.

London. May 1.-THE German guns
today launched into an intensive gun
fire on the three great sectors OF KEN
mel. Arras aui Amiens.
These commandments, following yes
terday's hull, indicated TO observers
here that the German drive was about
to resume with the main blows 20 pc
delivered at these three vital links
in the allied line.
Tive Weeks Preparing.
For upward Of two weeks allied
airmen have reported much activity
behind the German lines. while the
German artillery has continued I'D
lombard with great fury scattered
sectors along picariy and Flanders
battlenelds.
Won Hindenburg's divisions wee
badly shattered in the fighting south'
west of Ypres and east OF AnieoS
late in April and it was expected mat
considerable time would elapse be-
fore he would be in position TO re
new his double thrusts.
II is now known. however, that Ger
man guns and troops, most OF when
have been shifted at night to avoid
detection. are in place and that the
Teutons are ready to strike Just
where the blows will fall can not be
foret0ld.
Watch Amens and Ypres.
1t is generally accepted as fact that
the Germans will begin their often
sive on the Amiens and fpres fronts,
either simultaneously or at about the
same time. The STACEY of this ac'
ton would be to prevent shifts OF
troops from one zone to reinforce
the allied armies in the other.
In the two weeks since their dis
astrous repulse north of Mount KEN
mel the Germans have gained hardly
foot either in Flanders or in Pic
ardy.
French and British, however, have
taken some small ami locally impor
tant positions in limited attacks, th'
latest advance having been made by
the French north of KENNEL village
in the capture Of hill Al and an ad

ADDITIONAL Editorial

The president in his address before
Congress-, admitted freely that he was
at sea as far as the solution of the
question of railways is concerned.
There ore three solutions. The roads
can be continued as they are, or CIV
en- back to the railroads as before,
or taken over, completely by the gov
eminent. The president hardly fav-
ors The last course. He wants the
matter threshed out by men who have
given railroading their special atten-
ton. This throws little light on
the resignation of Secretary McAdoo.
He undoubtedly will be candidate for
the democratic presidential nomina-
ton. He has had an untarnished
record for six years. He is quitting
just when quitting is good. The rail-
road employees are all satisfied with
the high wages they are receiving.
But-a day of reckoning is coming.
Wages are going to come down and
the man who stands as the head of
the railroads is going to catch Hades.

President Wilson departed for Eur
ope Wednesday on his historical peace
trip. The peace party is travelling
on the transport, George Washington,
led by the dreadnaught Pennsylvania,
with convoy of fifteen destroyers.
Ten Of the destroyers are to turn
back later. The president keeps in
touch with affairs at home by wire
less and is directing the affairs of the
United States from his office on board
the transport. After the transport
had put to sea, he attended to let
ters and kilograms and kept bevy
of stenographers busy. The presi-
dent answered his critics concerning
his trip abroad, in his message, de-
livered to Congress Monday. He ex-
planned that the armistice had been
signed on the basis of terms laid down
by the president and he felt it his duty
to attend the conference to use his
influence in seeing that these prin-
ciples received full recognition in the
final settlement.

MOTHER BEATS CHILD AND
SEARS HAND ON STOVE

Ashley, N. D., Dec. 9.-The charge
that she beat her 9-year-old daughter
into insensibility twice and that she
held the child's hands against a hot
stove as punishment for the theft of
watch, has been made by Miss Jean
Miller Of Ashley, against her sister,
Mrs. Chas. Vanorney.
Wilhelmina Vanorney, whose child
life has been marked by no such
things as dolls and playthings, such
as other children have, couldn't resist
the temptation to possess Miss Mil
ler's watch when she found it lying
on dresser. The child was staying
with Miss Miller, attending school in
Ashley.
Miss Miller informed the child's
mother Of the affair, and several days
later, when Wilhelmina returned to
Ashley from her home, where she had
spent a vacation, her hands were
found to be blistered and scorched. In
quiry by her teacher and Miss Miller
followed, with the result that the
child's terrible story of brutal treat
ment was brought to light.
Both the child's mother and father
are under arrest, while Rev. C. B

of American casualties published, an
nounces that arrangements have been
made whereby the additional list of
5000 who were killed in action will be
cabled to America within a week. The
people of the United States had been
caused to believe that the American
casualties were about 100000, whereas
they total 100000. Fathers and moth
ers in the 100000 homes that sent
boys across to France, are waiting
anxiously for the publication of the
list so that they can know that their
boys are still alive, or else Ie.rn the
worst, which would be better than this
terrible suspense.

Ten thousand American soldiers
have married French girls and some
of them undoubtedly to make their
home in France. This seems like quite
a large number of our boys who have
been captivated by the charms Of the
petite maidens of foreign land, yet
the percentage is small considering
the fact that more than two million
of our lads had landed on French soil.
After all, there are none so fair as
the noble lassies of our dear native
land.

Wilson has been "fed up" on all that

he will hardly be satisfied with little

to have one big time. The Parisians
have declared Saturday holiday and
it is expected that Paris will hold the
greatest celebration in its history.
