Evidently Tired Of Watching
The Failure of His Plans
On the Western Front
GERMANS RENEW ATTACK

Paris, April S.-The Germans
I Saturday night renewed their al.
tacks on the French positions in
1.-THE region of Chauny and Barisis
on the Disc front, in which sectoa
the French earlier in the day haG
withdrawn to prepared positions,
the war office announced this aft
ernoon. West OF Noyon German
detachment which had gained a
foothold in the advanced French
line was elected by a counter at
tack.
The attention of the Germans for
the present is mainly directed at
the lower end of the battle zone,
which apparently they are at
tempting to enlarge for the purpose
|of getting elbow room in which to
move their vast masses of troops.
Meanwhile, General Foch, the
commander-n-chief of tho Allies, is
biding his time, meeting the Ger.
man assaults with powerful resist
ance and here and there conforming
his Ines to the necessities of the
battle. 1t is confidently stated at
Paris that Foch will not be drawn
into any false move-where each
move is of such vital Importance
but will strike with his reserves a,
the moment chosen by him.
There may be some significance
in the report that the German EN-.
peror, after conference on the
western front on Saturday with his
chiefs. Won Hindenburg and Luden-
dorff, intends to proceed to Ru-
manfdss

Baltimore, Nd, April 7.-Presi
dent Wilson, at a great L1Dert

night gave Americas answer t.
German drive on the western bat
tie front, to the renewed propagan
da for a German made peace, TO al
proposals to end the war 5efor'
Germany is awakened from he;
dream of world dominion. This
Presidents answer was.
"Force, force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit, the righteou.
and triumphant force which shal
make right the law Of the world
and cast every selfish dominion
down in the dust"
A few hours before the Presi-
dent spoke he had reviewed a di-
vision of citizen soldiers, called
only a few months ago from the
pursuits of peace; now transformed
into fighting men to carry the ideals
of America to the battlefelds Of
Eurore; at the moment million
more Of their kind were all over
the land celebrating the opening OF
the Third Liberty Loan; while the
President was speaking tho orders
for mobilizing the first of the great
army of second million gcing out
to the country.
II accept the challenge. I know
that you accept it. All the world
shall know you accept it. 1t shall
appear in the utter sacrifice and
self-forgetfulness with which we
shall give all that we love and all
that we have to redeem the world
and make it fit for free men like
ourselves to live in. This new is
the meaning of what We do. Lee
everything that we say, my fellow
countrymen, everything that W"
henceforth plan and accomplish
ring true to this response till the
majesty and right of our concerted
power shall fill the thought and ut
terly defeat the force of those who
fout and misprise what we hono.

ALLIES IN GOOD SHAPE

Washington, April S.-Every day
the allies are in better position to
resist the great German offensive
according to review by the British
military attaches here. The French,
British and American reserves are
arriving every day and their posi-

Artillery Activity Indicates Attack.
With the British Army in France,
April S.-Intense artillery activity
is proceeding at various points along
the British front this morning,
north of the Scarpe and south Of
the river Somme the German guns
are conducting fombardment
which indicates as heretofore an
attack. No infantry ac-
tivity has been reported up to eight

KILLING OFF
THE GERMANS
Is Main Business of the Hour
General Foch Commander
In-chief Intimates
TERRITORY MEANS LITTLE

Pals, April THE German at
tack yesterday on the left bank O
theriver Disc between Chauny ant
Bairsis is taken by some military
critics as indicating that the enemy
finding himself cramped in the sal
lent his offensive has created toward
Montdidier and Amiens is seeking
more elbow room, as without it he
will be unable to deploy his masses
in Hindenburg style.
The retirement of the French to
positions prepared in advance caus-
es no uneasiness here.
"People should not allow them
selves to be hynotized by the official
bulletins" said a high official whose
advice seems to beaccepted. "In a
battle like this" he added, "bulle-
tins showing more or less important
advances and retreats are simply ge-
ographical summaries which convey
little meaning except to those who
are directing the operations.
people ask: Will the Boches get
Amiens?'
my reply is, perhaps they will If
General Foch can smash more Ger
man divisions by letting them in than
by keeping them out. Unbeaten ar
mics are more important htan are
towns.
"Germany's gains look like fat
juicy pear to the newspaper reader,
but the Kaiser knows how hollow it
all is at thecore.
General Ludendorff is being
fenced with and hustled, not by our
main forces, but by little more than
our covering troops, and If it is no
time for Dragging and over-confi-'
dence neither is it the time for ner-
vousness over little fluctuations in
the battle fronts"
General Foch, it now is now gen.
orally understood, will not be drawn
by the Germans but will hold his
reserves for the moment chosen by
him. ;
"Wait bit. Wait Bit" Thus
the Eentente Allied supreme COM
mander replies with characteristic ,
sweep of his arm when asked about
the future. General Foch's calm de-
liberation is compared with the '
bearing Of Marshal Joffre before and
Turing the battle of the Marne, and
his contributes little to confidence
n his battle plans. u

Washington, April 6.-Director
, General of Railroads, William G.
McAdoo has interposed in the pro-
gram Of the War Department to
extend the Wilmington, Brunswick
and Southport Railway from South

ton delegation composed of officials
OF the railway is expected to reach
Washington Monday and put forth
efforts to Offset the objections to

nant in possibilities for Fort Cas-
we'll.

ready authorized the statement
that the government would expend
approximately $4,000 in effecttns
the eleven mile railway extension.
The reasons for the Director Gener'
al of Railroads for holding up tbs

OUR FLEET OF WARSHIPS

fleet Of American warships, number
ing more than $50 vessels and in
clud in addition to the far-famed de
stroyers, battleships, cruisers, sub
marines, gunoats, coast cutters, con
verted yachts, tugs and other auxil
iaries is operating in the war zone.
Manning this fleet, and the many
small submarine chasers, which are
not reckoned in the total and doing
duty on air patrol and at the supply
stations ashore, are $4,000 officers
and men, half the navy's personnel
when the nation entered the war
just year ago.
These hitherto carefully guarded
facts were disclosed here Saturday
by Secretary Daniels in an address
at a celebration marking the open
ing of the third Liberty loan cam
paign. Mr.. Daniels said that while
he was not at liberty to tell the toll
the fleeet has taken of German sub
marines, the nation could "rest as
sured that our forces have inflicted
telling losses upon the enemy"
"As an instance of naval activity"
said the Secretary, II might cite the
work Of one detachment of Destroy
ers for six month period:
"Total miles steamed in war areas
100000; submarines attacred, ST.;
single vessels escorted, TIT; conveys
escorted So; total number of days at
sea, $500.
"The Navy has furnished every
aid possible that the countries all
ligned with us in war have requested
or suggested, and has worked in the
closet cooperation with them. Our
forces have played an important
part in the war against the subma-
rines, and have aided materially in !
the marked reduction in sinking of
merchantmen, as compared with the
sunk in the corresponding
period year ago, and in the no less
notable increase in the number of ,
submarines destroyed"
Under Vice Admiral Sims, who is !
In supreme command of all the Am
erican naval forces in the war zone,
are four rear admirals with stations
In Europe, said the Secretary. They
are Henry B. Wilson, in France: AL
bert T. Niblack, in the south; Hugh
Rodman, in command Of battleships,
and Herbert o. Dunn, on special
luty.
Americas fighting ships, Mr.. Dam
lis asserted, have been self-sustain-
ng with assistance of repair ships, II
