GREATEST BATTLE
OF ALLIES IN SIGHT
AMERICAN, FRENCH AND BRIT.
18Th PREPARING TO RESIST
EFFORT or GERMANS.
HUNS HAVE IT'S DIVISIONS
Highest Points and Best Observations
Arc Occupied by Armies Of the
Allies and Greatest Conf
dence Is Felt.

French Front-The German and
Franco British armies on the from
tiers of France and Belgium at the
present moment are preparing for the
opening Of the gigantic struggle
which went ON throughout 1917, and
ceased only with winter.
Each army has probably fairly ac-
curate idea of the others strength.
The French and British know they
have facing them 1855 German divis-
ions, So Of which are in front of the
French and 70 in front Of the British
lines, (Since this dispatch was writ
ten there has been considerable in
crease in the German strength on the
western front. A cable later from
this same correspondent said the Ger
mans now had on the western front
It's divisions, or about 100000 men,
To give the total forces on the allies
side might possibly afford some in
formation to the enemy.
When the initiative may come,
when weather conditions permit re-
sumption Of fighting on a large scale,
cannot for the time being be predict
ed, but 1t appears probable that these
millions of soldiers must soon come
to close grips.
The armies continue to harry each
other. Ever since the battle of Nal
maison and Cambria minor encoun-
tiers have taken place almost con-
stantly, each side trying to find out
the weak spots of the other or max
ing feints to discover the intentions
Of the opposing army. In Lorraine,
in Alsace, before Verdun, in Cham
payne, and even around st. Quentin,
the Germans have attempted trench
raids Of more or less Importance very
frequently during the past few weeks,
sometimes with strong artillery sup
port, on other occasions purely sur
prise attacks by infantry units. In all
cases they have been unsuccessful,
while, on the other hand, the French
in their inroads into the German lines
have generally been able to carry out
their entire plan of reconnaissance and
have returned to their lines only after
destroying the enemy's works and
usually bringing back with them
batch of prisoners.
The results of all these small COM
bats can be seen only after the gen.
eral engagement has begun. For the
present the allied armies occupy very
favorable positions for whatever may
occur AS a sequel to all the heavy
fighting in the fall they obtained pos
session of numbers of the highest
points and the best observatories, and
they have since held them with the
firmest of grips, and even in some
places improved their positions. There
they await the continuation Of the bat
tie with the greatest confidence

GREAT INCREASE IN CROPS
Million Acres Added to Crop Produc-
ton in Great Britain Since Be-
ginning Of the War.

London.-Andrew Bonar Law, chan
cellor of the exchequer and govern
ment leader in the House of Commons,
replying to criticisms of the govern
ment with respect to its home policy,
said that in 1917 the rational service
department had put into the army
S2O,645 additional men and placed in
employment at home 1000 men and
$4,000 women.
England, said the chancellor, was
the only country in the war where
there had not been diminution in
food production. A million additional
acres were being put under the pillow.
This year 100000 acres more had
been cultivated in England and 100000
more in Scotland and. Ireland The
total stocks of wheat in Great Britain
at the end of December, 1917, exceed
ed those at the end of December, 1916,
by 100000 bushels. In 1917 there
was built in Great Britain 1,163, 474
tons Of shipping, and 10000 tons were
obtained from abroad.

Praise From French.

Grand Headquarters of the French
Army in France.-American and
French troops for several days back

midahle. battlefields of the war, the

the world. The immediate impression
gained in conversation with both
French and Americans facing the enc

purpose to win victory by mutual aid

made in connection with the Ameri-

ffcer to the correspondent, who spent
a whole day among the Americans
holding the line 'They are too anx-
ious to get at grips with the enemy"
American officers confirmed this,

GERMANY RENEWS
WAR UPON RUSSIA
ACCORDING TO REPORTS FROM
HOLLAND, KAISER WILL BE-
GIN ANOTHER OFFENSIVE.
PETROGRAD is ALLEGED GOAL
Failure Of Russia, Says Wilhelm, Au-
tomatlcalIy Ends Armlstlce and
Operations viii Be Resumed
For Protection Of Ukraine.

London. Germany has resolved to
renew military activities against
Northern Russia. This decision is
said to have been reached at con.
ference at imperial headquarters, spe-
cial dispatches from Holland say. The
conference was attended by Emperor
William, Chancellor Won Hertling,
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, Gen.
Won Ludendorff, Foreign Secretary
Won Kuehlmann and others,
The mo war, but no peace" plan
OF Leon Trotzky, Bolsheviki foreign
minister, was returned at the confer
ence, according to the Amsterdam
correspondent Of the Daily Express,
and as Trotzky does not want peace,
he will get war. Invasion Of Great
Russia, it is added, will continue at
any rate until Petrograd is occupied
by German troops.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Rotterdam says that the Germans
take the view that Trotzky's decla,
ration, though it did not end the war.
automatically ended the armistice.
(The armistice expired Feb. 14.) The
Germans now consider that they have
q free hand and mean TO use the OPP
Lortunity.
This, according to the correspond
ent, does not mean necessarily that
the Germans will Immediately try to
reach Petrograd, but more probably
that they will support the Ukraine by
force of arms. The Germans, he says,
are carrying out an active propagan-
da in the Ukraine for the purpose Of
suggesting to the rada that the new
state is endangered by the BoIsheviki
1t is declared that this is all part Of
Germany's scheme for breaking up
the former Russian empire with a
view to extending her own power and
influence over the new states, Of
whom 1t is posing as protector.
1t is certain that the Bolshevih are
now moving troops against the
Ukraine, a Berlin dispatch to the
Koelnische Volks zeitung says, and
the Central Powers do not intend to
allow themselves thus TO be robbed Of
the fruits of their lately concluded
peace. The newspaper adds that It
probably has been decided at the
conference at imperial headquarters
to resume operations on the Northern
Russian frcIt for the protection Of
the Ukraine"

PROMPT ACTION BY CARPENTERS
HEAD AFTER APPEAL TO
LOYALTY.
WORK WITH HON-UNlONIsTs
Tieup o. shlpbuildlno Would BE ons
Of the cravest Blows Possible
to InfIIct on Country, Says
President Wilson.

. New York.-William L. Hutchinson
general president of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters of Ameri-
Ca, called off the strike in the ship
yards at the port of New York and
other eastern points after receiving a
telegram from President Wilson.
He Immediately sent messages to
all of the brotherhood representatives
fnstructing them to send word out
TO the men to report at their places
for work Monday morning. There
were more than 5000 men who re-
turned Immediately at President Hut
cheson's order.
The message that was received
from President Wilson deeply Inn
pressed the labor leaders here. They
held long conference, at which all
phases Of the situation were discussed
The order to call off the strike was
ISSUED after 1t was decided to take
the matter Of adjustment of their diff
Terences with the shipyard employers
up directly with President Wilson.
The labor leaders took the appeal
Of the president more as an indict-
ment charging them with being unpa-
triotic, union men explained here last
night They will return to their places
and will work, if need be, beside non
union men until such time as their
difficulties may be adjusted 1t was
explained that the order to return was
ISSUED as a response to the presidents
appeal and as an evidence of their
confidence in him "a Their than any
''giving up the fight"
President Wilson took hold of the
shipbuilding strike with an iron hand.
He sent telegram to the general
president of the carpenters and join.
ers in New York, ordering the men to
return to work forthwith.
His message breathed no pleasure.
H told the men bluntly that 1t was
their duty in the nations crisis to fur
aher the shipbuilding program and not
obstruct it. Refusal on their part to
leave their differences to arbitration
was undoubtedly giving aid and com
fort to the enemy"

The speedy return of the court mar

to the crowds in the courtroom await
ing the verdict than the actual sent

predicted from the outset.
Bolo took the announcement with
apparent calm, but Porchere, who had
sat throughout the trial stolid and
stupid in appearance, was visibly
moved, though whether at his own es-
cape from his patrons fate or at the
sentence imposed upon Bolo, was not
easy to determine.
The crowd made no demonstration,
hut filed noisily from the court room
discussing the verdict.

was one of the first of the so-called
cases of Intelligence with the enc

In attempting to bride French states
nen and leaders and to influence
French opinion by substituting news
papers in France or founding new
publications to disseminate the spirit
Of pacifism or defeat, devoted a sum
of money in the neighborhood of TO-
100000 marks. Bolo himself was said
to have had the use of a fund Of more
than $1,500,000 to be used in attempt
ing to corrupt the French press.
