complaint, but on the other hand there
was deep seated conviction that the Allies
are on the road to victory.
MIR. Baker did not undertake To predict
the end Of the war. The sentiment Tor
unity, exemphfed by the arrangement OF
one command under Cen Foch, was look
ed To in all three countries as the greatest
step taken to meet the forces of Germany.
Comparatively little time was spent
in discussing the German drive. but
the Secretary said on all fronts the Allies
have we'll organized reserves that have not
vet been touched He was confident that
Foch would be able to hold the enemy and
finally drive him TO defeat.
TO RUSH MORE TROOPS.
The one great demand, he said, IL Tor
the United States to rush men To France.
From statements made by MIR. Baker
impetus was given To the view held hy
Congressman that the War Department
will put all the men in France, trained
or unframed that can possibly be shipped
before severe winter weather sets IN. This
Will be backed up by training OF another
great force during the winter IN the
United States for Use next spnng
The War Department, 1T was learned,
plans To maintain a big force abroad
where the most practical training can bc
had. Difficulty has been experienced here
in putting men through actual war con
ditions This difficulty will not bc expcri-
enced in France.

HINDENBURG MAY
STRIKE IN FLANDERS
Probably May Make Assault in
Picardy at Same Time.
Expert Says.

Washington. April "a A high military
expert makes this prediction: Military
men the world over are awaiting with
keen interest the next blow of the Ger
mans on the western front. Today's
dispatches even go So far as TO indicate
the particular place where the enemy will
strike his next blow at the apex of the
wedge opposite Amiens and between the
Somme aud Arras.
my notion is that von Hindenblrg
is quite a. likely to strike in Flanders.
and if he should strike simultaneously in
both PicaTdy and Flanders 1t would not
surprise military men here.
i doubt that the Germans have had
a superiority Of three To one or even
more. As some dispatches would seem
to indicate OF course, II Is true that
when they started their drive in Picardy
the Germans had an overwhelming
superiority This was true also, at the
outset of the Flanders drive, but the
British and French lines were quickly
strengthened.
IF the worst is vet to come in the
wav Of an enemy thrust we naturally
do not like to think Of our armies rs
tired and unfit for the great battle
which lies Immediately ahead of them
On the contrary, we are bound to assume
this is not at all the case.
"If our British friends are still worn
by the struggle, when they have had
comparative quiet on the Amiens front
for more than a week, the enemy must be
In even worse shape
GAS we get additional data on the
battle between Americans and Germans

more apparent that our boys gave the
enemy terrific drubbing That was what

The nerves OF the body are
not unlike the telegraph system
at the Front. The millions of
nerve filaments are like a net
work Of wires that keep all the
trenches In close sympathy and
communion. Food supplies and
endorsements are dispatched
here and there and so the nerves
send increased blood and nour-
ishment where 1t Is most re-
quired. The nerve cells guide
the heart and stomach. BY this
means the stream of blood la
den with Dourishment is sent

QUAKES START In MOUNT.
Total Loss to Property In California
by Shocks Totals $500 900.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 24.-Stoek-
taking Of the damage wrought by tho
series of earthquake shocks which were
felt in Southern California, Western
Arizona, and Utah. and which covered
q period Of thirty hours, beginning ut
332 y. m. Sunday, strengthened today
the belief that the disturbance originated
IN the granite backbone Of the San
Jacinto Mountain, about sixty miles east
of Los Angeles.
The greatest property damage was mt
San Jacinto, which lies Mt the foot of
San Jacinto Mountain. Hemet, two
miles from San Jacinto, suffered only
little less severely, but the destruction
diminished rapidly as the distance from
that place increased.
Much interest WINS aroused here bv the
belief of old residents of San lacinfo
that the earthquake has resulted IN
changing the contour of the summit Of
San Jacinto Mountain II was said that
formerly the central and northcrly parts
of the peaks were higher, and now the
southerly pcal appeared higher.
The total damage To property In the
earthquake zone is roughly estimated at
100000 The number of dead remains
at two, and Of the injured Mt about
twenty.

AMERICANS ACTIVE
 ON BATTLE FRONT
WHOLE AMERICAN SECTOR IS RESoUNDlNG WITH THE
 BOOM OF GUNS.
U. s. BATTERIES PRAISED
Artillery and Snipers Also Have Be- come Increasingly Active-Amer- can 75's Are Harrassina Traffic
 Behind Enemy Trenches.
With the American Army in France.

With the American Army in France. The whole American sector is re- sounding with the boom of guns. Air men became exceedingly active along the American front. Enemy snipers wounded two Americans slightly.
 A shift of the wind cleared away the mist which has hindered aerial opera tions and other activities for several days. A number of battles in the air were fought by patroling planes. In one instance the French aviatorS de- feated an attempt of German flyers to cross behind the American trenches.
 The artillery and snipers also have become increasingly active. American 75's are harassing traffic behind the enemy trenches. The Germans are confining their fire largly to the Amer ican trenches.
 American troops now are occupying a sector of the Lorraine front in France. This announcement is per mitted by the military censors.
 The correspondents permanently ac- credited to the American army have been informed that they may proceed to virtually any point within the zone of fire except the trenches, without escort and without special permission. Arrangements were made whereby newspaper men may proceed to any brigade headquarters few kilometers behind the trenches after first report ing their presence withsn the zone to the headquarters of the division of which the brigade is part Unless there is some occurrence which makes 1t inadvisable in the opinion of the brigade con&lander for correspond ents to move nearer the front, they may walk from his headquarters to regimental headquarters behind the lines.
 Since all roads immediately behind the front are within easy German gun range and under German observation, not more than two correspondents may move forward together. They must wear gas masks in ale-t posi- ton and helmets. Newspaper men must obtain special permission to Vis~ it the trenches and must be accom- panied by an escorting officer.
 The French commander of a saus- age balloons squadron, who was an artillery officer at Verdun during the heaviest fighting and also particupat- ed in the Somme offensive, declared that the work of certain American batteries at the front is almost per feet" He was particularly pleased with the work done by American guns in firing on German position in a wood, which he observed from a bal loon.
