Washington, April 10.-With the news
that American troops now are in the
battle zone the blunt statement OF Da-
vid Lloyd George. the British premier.
10 Parliament as to the situation In
Picardy came home to Americans today
with added force. Army officers eX
pressed satisfaction that the reinforce

the British premier had left no room
for doubt that the need for them is
urgent.

ed, but it is known definitely that the
rate of departure of american troops
for France is now three times that Of
only short time ago
The increased troop movement makes
interest in the submarine situation
acute. There were indications two
weeks ago thu the Germans had
coupled with the assault in Picardy an
effort to increase their inroads upon
allied shipping. officers here believe
that German submarine efforts will be
concentrated against troop ships to pre-
vent American reinforcements from
reaching the battle front
While there has been no information

off in the sinkings oil British ships last
week and the present week was inter
preted in some quarters to mean the di-

there was no porter available. He had
only put five OF the bags into the COM

The messenger was in dilemma.
He could not let the five bags go with

dozen on the platform. At that mo-

Precocious Youth Kills Himself
Over Alleged Theft.
Boy Declared Chemistry to Be His
lIfe's Sole Desire and
Happiness.

London.-Few cases of suicide In
recent years have attracted as much
attention MS that of Master Arthur
Easterbrook. precocious son OF re-
tired colonel in the British army. The
youngster killed himself with cyanide
of potassium. He had been experiment
ing in chemistry, to which he was de-
voted. He presumably was driven to
his act by the discovery that he had
taken some chemical apparatus from
his school to his home. Although he
had merely borrowed 1t, there was an
insinuatiOn that he was guilty OF theft.
A letter left by the boy is as follows:
ITO whomsoever shall find this:
To-day will be my last day on this
planet. 1 cannot stand the prospects
Of what is coming, SO gOod-by, chemis-
try. my life's sole desire and happiness.
What will happen afterward I cannot
tell, but hope that my spirit will
travel to another planet and God will
forgive and let me- have another
