Washington, Mar. 29.-The great al.

onset is now developing, high Ameri.

may take a day or more for the full
movement to reveal itself, it was add

been made and the great army of man
euver is taking up its all,important
task.
Despite some gains made by the Ger
mans yesterday, the situation this
morning was regarded as favorable by
military men here. The German ad-
vance is near a standstill, although
further violent efforts to break thru
the allies line are to be expected.
Army men say that now is the ply

Germans fatigued and checked-may

up their big guns or strike balance.
'The French attack, which regain

phase of the allied operations. The
French hit at a point (along the Disc
river near Noyon) where a rolling up

remains to be seen whether this is to
be the allied strategy.

Are Preparing for
OPENING Drive On
Third Liberty Loan

Preparations are being pushed for
the coming liberty loan drive which
starts April 9th. The local committees
met yesterday evening at the CONNER
efal club, and another meeting is plan
med for this afternoon at clock to
complete the necessary arrangements.
The work of filling out the ques-
tionnaires by the ladies who have vol
unteered is practically complete and
the rating is being done by committee
members These questionnaires will
give a complete account of what each
citizen has done in previous drives
and what he can be expected to sub
scribe
Chairman Deekabach is especially
anxious TO get the bonds in the hands
of the farmers, and the organization
to effect this is to be most complete.
The bankers and business men of the
city have given largely of their re-
sources and time, and it is not believed
that the farmers have done as well as
they can.
1t is pointed out that the farmers
are guaranteed fixed price for their
wheat, even before the ground is plow-
cd, and through the federal reserve
banks can borrow all the money they
need for machinery and supplies, on
long time loans, and in other ways
should be better able to invest in bonds
than the average city worker.
The big drive will really start on
April 5th, which is to be liberty day,
and liberty bells will be hung on ev-
cry door in the country. They will be
taken down in the evening, and will
be preparatory step toward the work
of the following week.

Allied military chiefs, however,
warned that the big counter offensive
of the British, French and American
forces might be delayed several days.
The German momentum has not
spent itself, is their belief, and the
time for the allied attack is the mo-

With the British Armies in France.
Mar s28.-The tide of battle is ever
rising.
The great struggle is extending north
ward and southwark, with a sudden
new thrust westward and northwest
against Arras and a gradual spread
southwark around Noyon.
The new battle line is more than 70
miles long, measured around the west
ern bulge The principal fighting is
in the three distinct centers one
against the north flank toward Arras;
the second astride the Somme, against
the center; the third against the south
flank, between Mintidier and Noyon.
Severe fighting is under way in all
three.
After comparative quiet since the
beginning of the offensive, the sector

If the rain continues for any extend
ed period, the German transport system
not only will be crippled, but the allies
have in past operations proved them
selves the better mud horses to bor-
row an expression from the race track.
America, through General Pershing
has asked for more active part in the
present battle. The American command
er'visited General Foch at the front and
personally preferred the aid of the en-
tire American expeditionary force, the
French war office announced today.
The rapid growth of fighting in the
erstwhile 'teastern theatre" is detailed
in a United Press dispatch from Petro-
grad dated Wednesday. Since the cap
ture of Odessa, Kherson and Nikolaietf,
the Russian bolsheviki forces have eject
ed the Germans from number of small
towns in the Charkoff region.
The Russian press is now openly agi-
tating a re declaration of war against
Germany and the Ukrainians have OBJ
ieeted so strenuously to enforcement of
some of the provisions of their peace
treaty with Germany that some of them
have been modified.
This activity in the east, it is believ-
ed, is bound to create at least some di-
version from the west front

WHAT AMERICA HAS
Done IN SIX MONTHS
TOWARD PREPARING
May Continue Work by Add
ing 100000 Yearly Of
New Recruits

Washington, Mar. 30. = American
history probably will record June 5, as
"service day'--upon which the men
of this country responded to the call
of the selective draft.
The provost marshal general is plan
ming to hold the second draft registra-
tion,-for men who have become 81
since last year--on June 81 first ami
versary of the first registration. AS
long as the war lasts, q similar regis
tration will be held ion that date. 1t is
believed that 100000 class one physlc-
ally fit men will be added to Ameri-
ca's defense columns annually by this
program.
Congress is expected to complete the
necessary legislation for the legislation
well before june 5.
With five day mobilization OF
ninety five thousand drafted men start
ing today, America will round out the
first year of the war next week with
the record Of having assembled over
seven hundred thousand men through
the selective service system. This mo
bilization has largely been accomplish
ed in six month as the first Of the
drafted men did not start moving to
camp until late in September. Besides,
great reservoir on uncalled men
numbering more than two million two
hundred and fifty thousand physical
ly fit fighters alone-is ready to jump
into the great war at the signing OF an
order.
The coming year will see many calls
for specialists. Deputy Provost Marshal
General johnson estimates that 340,OOO
will be inducted into the army for
war industrial or agricultural pursuits.
Beginning April 5, four thousand five
hundred and nine men are to start to
schools and many others will find
eampuses their training camps
