Attorney General Gregory
to Discuss the Lynching
With President Wilson

Attorney General Gregory took to the
cabinet meeting today a report of the
lynching of German, Robert p.
Prayer, at Collinsville. ILL.,. last night
for discussion with President Wilson,
The government is expected to de-
nounce the mob's lawless act. and to
express the hope that there will be no
repetition elsewhere.
Until the FEDERAL government is given
power to punish persons making dis
loyal utterances. Department of Jus
tice officials fear more lynchngs such
as that at CollinsvilIe, ILL.,. last night
This was the first report reaching here
of such extreme mob violence to a Ger
man, although officials who have OBJ
served the general feeling against Ger
mans have feared such occurrences
The government has no authority to
take action against the lynchers Off
cials of the department deplored the
act and expressed the hope that state
or local authorities would speedily pun
ish the lynchers.
AT the Same time it was pointed out
that as soon as Congress passes the
pending bill making it federal Of
fense to speak or write obviously dis
loyaI criticism of the United States in
war the government can punish these
acts and reduce the danger of mob ac-

Germans Vain Effort
to Occupy Amiens
Brings Great Losses

The French lines have held below
Amiens and the Germans have been de-
feated with great losses in what prob
ably constituted their most desperate
effort yet to break in and cut off the
communications of this important base
from the south.
Similarly to the east of Amiens the
British have maintained their steadfast
defense and prevented the Germans
from making any important headway
here.
This battle. which ragged yesterday
and virtually all last night, was fought
along line of approximately thirty
miles south of the Somme. Today, ac-
cording to unofficial dispatches, the
Germans switched their attack to the
north of the river and engaged the
British along front of some seventeen
miles. but again were unable to make
any progress except slight advance
near the river.
In the great battle to the south of
the Somme the contending armies
fought with fiuctuating fortunes, the
French giving some ground in the
northerly sector of their battle area,
but closing the engagement with their
line not only standing where it was
along its southerly course, but even ad-
vanced in one or two sectors where the
Germans had been violently thrown
back.
As a whole the entente line may be con-
sidered, as the French official statement
far as the German objective south of
Amiens. the railway line to Clermont Is
concerned. the stupendous German EFFORT
resulted merely in the projection OF the
fighting front a distance of probably not
more than 1000 yards nearer to it and
about nine miles from its outskirts.

French Yield Slightly
When 100 600 Germans
Deliver Mass Attack

PARIS. April 4.-German troops
numbering well over 100000 delivered
a terrific attack today against the
French along front of nearly nine
miles from Grivesnes to north of the
Amiens-Roye road. They were met
with storm Of fire from the French
guns. and although the assaults were
repeated time after time, they succeed
ed in gaining only a small section o.
ground.
The French retained Grivesnes, but
the Germans occupied the villages OF
Mailly, Raineyal and Morisel
The announcement by the war office
tonight of this new offensive also saws
that by powerful counter attack the
French made progress at this point.

BELIEVED GERMANY
IS AFTER DECISION
BY THIS SUMMER
New Activity Is Thought Here
to Mean Kaiser Seeks Vic
tory Without Delay.
ALLIES WILL CONTINUE
DEFENSIVE FOR PRESENT

Germany's new activity yesterday was
accepted in Washington today as con-
firmation that it is determined to bend
every energy to decision this summer.
The attack over fifteen-mile front
yesterday, and hints of preparations, ad-
justments of troops, supplies and muni-
tions, indicates to Army officers here
that Germany has only begun the effort
to obtain military decision on the
western front.
Not only Hun military operations, but
political maneuvers, as exemplified In
the speech of Count Czernin. Austrian
foreign minister, point to closer union
of the central nations and OF the peo-
pies within those nations to make a
desperate drive for a military victory
and the conquests that go with it. The
Czernin speech adroitly was calculated
not only to seek to disrupt the allies by
giving the impression to Great Britain and
the United States that they were fighting
Frances battle for Alsace-Lorrairfe, but
to dangle before the Austrians the hope
of annexations if Austria-Hungary
would but stand behind the Prussians.

boards of Connecticut. Massachusetts,

Registrants in the states named will be

The men called upon for mechanical

Average 10000 a Month.
To call the 100000 for the second
National Army in equal monthly tncre-
ments would mobilize them at about
a rate of 10000 a month. However
there is no assurance that this win he

It has Been announced that the men
Will be drawn as gradually and in as
small numbers as possible SO as not

agriculture. So far as possible this
plan will be followed.
The immediate need of increasing the
American forces in France, however
to meet the German drive in the west
is likely to result in calling the men
more rapidly than first supposed. For
that reason the April quota undoubt
edly will exceed its normal average.
In fact. If the need is pressing the
entire 100000 might be called In in
much less than the nine months orig
inally planned.
