NEW YORK, May 7-(Asso-
~ ciated Press) - The Ger
mans appear to be baked in what
ever plans Won Arnim may have
had for the continuation of his
drive in Flanders and the recently
increased artillery activity on the
Somme leads some military cri-
tics to the belief that the next
German blow will be struck there,
in another drive for Amiens.
The opinion among the Amer
lean commanders with the French
army on the Somme front Is unan-
imous that the Germans will at
tack again and soon at the juno
ton of the French and British
fronts, at which particular point
is a large part of the American
army. 1t is felt that the Germans
are now holding untenable posi-
tons from which they must extri-
cate themselves through an offen-
sive or definitely abandon and /
acknowledge defeat III theif great
effort. 1t Is felt that the blow
will fall soon, before the Amer
lean strength can be greatly in
creased. .> ~ "a.
SIMULTANEOUS BLOWS
London shares in the belief Of
Washington, and Paris that the
resumption of heavy fighting may
come at any time, but the impress
sion in the British capital is that
there will be simultaneous blows
struck on the Ypres, Arras and
Amien sectors.
FRIGHTFULNESS TRIED
On Sunday evening the Ger
mans put forth a sample of their
frightfulness against the Ameri-
cans on this sector, following this
up with a second sample at mid
night. The first exhibition came
in heavy bombardment Of the
American lines and rear with gas
shells, mainly of the mustard
type, of which fifteen thousand
were thrown over. At midnight
there was an intense lombard
ment of the lines, in the course
Of which several hundred more
gas shells were sent over.
The enemy made no effort to
follow up their gas attack and
bombardment with infantry, and

 The Germans were, for a lort time, greatly puzzled by the marlinspike at tachment which they found on every British prisoners jack-knife. They made great capital out of a story that it was used to gouge out the eyes ot German wounded In the official re- port of the British Prisoners of War Commission, several instances of this fable are recorded.
 Captain Beaman testified before the commission that he was berated by a German colonel for permitting his men to use their marlinspikes on the eyes of German wounded Captain Browne told the commission of listening to a Uhlan major who was giving a lecture and who exhibited a British jack-knife showing the marlinspike attachment. and describing it as used for torturing German prisoners The story appears to have been deliberately cooked up by the German military authorities for the consumption of their troops.

BRITISH JACK KNIFE
 WEAPON 0F ALL USES

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE, May 19. Correspondence of The Associated Pressl-Every soldier in the British army in France is pro- vided by the government, as part of his overseas kit, with a jack-knife.
 The military jack-knife is built for service. It has only three parts-a big blade of Sheffield steel, a can-opener, and a 'marlin-spike." The whole thing clasps into a solid steel or bone han de four inches long, which is provid- ed with ring so that it can be hung to the belt
 The can-opener is an indispensable part of the provision for a soldiers well-being at the front. Several i'm pOrtant items of his daily menu are supplied to him in sealed cans.
 The Sheffield blade has numerous uses too obvious to need attention. but it is noticeable that Tommy Atkins frequently uses it for purposes of eat ing in preference to the table knife in his kit
 The knife-blade is also used con stantly as a wcod-cutter. In the trenches the lighting of brazier is frequently a difficult operation owing to the vital necessity of avoiding smoke. The Germans have a strong antipathy to smoke, and the sight of it rising from the British trenches arouses in them disturbing evidences of envy. hatred, malice and uncharita- bleness. It is well, therefore, to avoid smoke. So the wood for the brazier must be split up into thin sticks and shavings, and for this purpose the of- ficial jack-knife is the ideal instrument
 When the soldier is withdrawn from the trenches it is his first duty to make himself and his belongings clean and presentable for inspection Tom my hangs his coat on a peg and "shayes" il with the knife blade.
 The marlinspike attachment is use ful for prying open wooden boxes, for
