BATTLE is IMMINENT
Conflict of the Ages About to Be Pre-
cipitated on the Western Front.

Washington, May 3.--The creates
battle of the ages impends on th
western front, military experts herr
predict.
The full reserves of the allies anC
the enemy, it was stated, have beer
drawn up in preparation for the ire
mendous struggle. Never in the his
tory of mankind, it was said, hav,
forces of such enormous size been op
posed to each other in a single battle
1t is estimated that the Germans
have available 100000 men, and tn,
allies have perhaps slightly larger
resisting force.
The brunt of the fighting will oc
nr along the fifty-mile front, with
Amiens as its pivotal point, the line
of battle extending all the way from
the sector northeast of Tpres to
point south of Armentieres.
Because the Germar army must &C
forward if it is to save itself, anc
because its present position will no
long remain tcnahlc; prediction i
made that the gigantic battle will b,
full under way within three or -four
days. Weeks may be consumed anf
longer before decision is reached.
The struggle, it is foreseen, viii
center within two main theaters, thc
one in Flanders and the other on tn.
plains of Picardy. Confident asser
ton is made by the experts here tina
the British will retire no further
though even now, as some see it, tn,
prelude to the new Flanders battle i:
being heard in the German artil!er!
activity in that quarter French and
Americans, it is indicated, are at thG
forefront in the other theater cas-
of Amiens.
The situation to date, military eA
perts here contend, can fairly be de
scribed as a victory for the allies, il
that the enemy's effort to repeat the
spectacular drive of Won Kluck's arm,
in 1914 has been effectively checked
while, on the other hand, the enemy's
position has been rendered more ant
more precarious. Political conditions
in Germany, as we'll as the military
situation at the front, it is pointe,
out, have contributed impulses in tn,
enemy command compelling anothe'
attempt to break through.

ONLY s35,O00 MORE is NEEDED
II. .t., TO RAISE THE 100000 WANTED
Telegram Calling Example Set by Pres
dent Wilson Buying Liberty Being Made to
Thus Give the City
Alexandria to Be ProudO

The city of Alexandria only needs to
sell $4,000 more of the third Liberty
loan bonds to give it a record that
every citizen can be proud of. An
earnest effort is being made by the To-
cal committee to achieve that result be-
fore tomorrow night. Those who have
not bought bonds should do so, if pos
sible, now, and those who have pur-
chased are asked to follow President
Wilson's example and buy one more
Fifty-Dollar Bond, if they cannot buy
more than that.
Chairman Gardner L. Boothe, of the
Four-Minute-Men, received the fol-
lowing telegram this morning con-
cerning the matter:
Washington, D. c.,
May 8, 1913.
To Gardner L. Boothe,
Alexandria, Va.
Notify all speakers to make this
proposition to all audiences:
President Wilson, realizing the ne
cessity of increasing the number and
size of individual subscribers, says he
has already bought to the limit, but
offers to buy one more fifty-dollar
bond on the installment plan at the
rate of seventeen cents daily and asks
how many in all America there are
who will match him for new or ad-
ditional subscription? His offer is
being made simultaneously to every
locality in America just as if he were
present. Have all speakers pound
this hard at every meeting and secure
subscriptions.

The Parent Teachers Association
met Yesterday evening in Lee Camp
Hall, with the president, Mrs. William
J. Morton, IN the chair. Mrs. Rafters,
of Washington, gave an interesting
talk on the parent-teacher education
al system. Mrs. Rafters has recently
attended the national convention of
this organization held in Atlantic
City where hundreds Of superintend-
ents from all parts of the United
States were present. The keynote of
this meeting was the parent-teacher
organization, for without it there can
be no real school. The general opin-
ion was that the present educational
system is a failure because the idea
of most parents is that school is the
only place of learning, while the
course of instruction should be car
ried into the home, the child is only
in school FIVE hours, and there should
be closer cooperation between pa
rents and teachers, they should meet
regularly and the Parent-Teachers
Association should bring about this
contact. A number of teachers and
parents DO not attend the meetings Of
this association and therefore have
no opportunity to discuss the school
problems and work together. This
war is teaching the country one thing,
that success is to work together, and
that is what education is, work to-
gether. The teachers and parents
must work for the benefit of the chill
dren to give them the best advan-
taees, and that cannot be done with
out the parent-teacher system. DR.:
Klipstein gave q short and very IN
structive talk on the health of the
children. All that were not so for
tunatc as to attend the meeting last
nieht missed two interesting and prof.
table lectures.
