TEST OF ABILITY
OF GENERAL FOCH
is AhIRENS DENSE
Capture Of Important Railway
Line Would Be Serious
Blow to Allies
By j. w. T. Mason
Written for the United Press)

(Written for the United Press)
New York, April l.-(2:15 p. ny
A desperate renewal of Won Hinden-
burg's effort to capture Amiens is in
dicated by the Simms reports from the
battle front today.
To save Amiens is the most pressing
problem confronting General Foch. If
the Germans are allowed to continue
their slow pressure much nearer to
Amiens, its value as a most important
railway center back of the British lines
will be destroyed. The first real test of
General Foch Is capacity as generals
simo of the allied armies is now occur
ring before Amiens.
The allies front, along which the
Germans must be pushed back in this
sector is comparatively small. Tho al
lies have new reserve forces and a
splendid railway system at their rear.
1t is impossible to avoid the conclusion
that tho advantages in battle for
Amiens rest with Foch. The proper use
of them will greatly stimulate conf
dence in the desirability of keeping tho
allied armies under supreme COM
mand.

Loss Would Be Serious.

Washington, April l. 1.-Germany' Is
capture of Amiens would practically par
alyze the transportation system of north
France and all but ruin the communica-
tion between England and France, mil
itary experts pointed out today.
The German is already in possession
Of one rail line and an advance of com
paratively few miles would give him
control of lines which link the channel
ports, Dunkirk, Calais and BOulogne,
with the British and French armies of
northern France.
Long and unsatisfactory detours
would be necessary, Britain would have
to expose her troop and supply trans
ports to a longer and more dangerous
ferry than at present and the situation
on the whole would be fraught with
serious trouble for the allies.
That explains the stubborn defense
and the new counter movements now
proceeding.

STATE PRISON TERM FOR.
HALTON POST
Justice PhilbrOOk Imposes Sentence of
From One to Three Years

The January term of Supreme Ju-
dicial Court for Somerset county
didn't amount to much but was ex-
tended long enough to allow hearing
on the case OF State VS. Halton Post
Theodore Post, the writ read, but
when arraigned the young man
charged with uttering forgery. boldly
asserted that his name was not Theo-
dore by Halton Russell Post. When
brought into court this young man
looked as tho he might have stepped
from the fashion plate of q Broadway
clothing advertisement for he was all
'dolled' up in the true sense of the
word.
Assuming the same sangfroid that
has characterized his attitude thruout
Mr.. Post admitted his guilt and asked
all the leniency which the court would
allow. He allowed that he had not
been model young man and had
done things for which he was sorry.
County Attorney Anderson, appearing
for the State, suggested a prison term
at hard labor for from one to three
years and this suggestion was acted
upon by the presiding justice. Thus
eliminates a bit of excitement which
occurred in the quiet village of Skow-
hegan a few months ago.
Local residents are familiar with
the appearance of very dapper
young man who flashed a large roll
and cashed checks at the stores of F.
W. Bucknam, s. Russakoff and Walk
erSmith Clio. Co. In an aggregate
sum of 5000 which checks were worth
only the paper upon which they were
made out. With this money Post
went to Poland Springs for short
sojourn and returned to Skowhegan
in company with Sheriff Goodrich
Since then he has been lodged in the
county bastile and the worthless
checks have been made good by rela-
tiyes.
The exact age of Post is not known
tho 1t Is believed he is 81 His uncle
so stated but the young man declares
he is but 19 years of age. He was
examined while at the Jail in regard
to his physical qualifications for the
army; passed the examination and
then stated that he was but 10 and
couldn't join the army The services
thus lost by Uncle Sam will be given
over to the learning of some trade at
the State Prison.
