él FOR IS PAUSING ONLY TO GATHER | WHOLE STRENGTH Immense Losses Will Not Pre- vent Huns From Making New Blow Soon, Belief INFANTRY FIGHTING SLACK |, Big Guns Only Present Action on French Front; Allies Confident With the French army in France,| April 17.—(By the Associated Press.) —While the cannon continue to re along the ‘battle line there has for some days been a virtual tion of | infantry combats. espewally on the French part of the front. No one in the allied camp, however, regards the German push as_being| terminated. It is believed that the lull will prove temporary, and, despite | their terrific losses and the exhaustion | of many of their divisions, it is con- sidered probable that the German staff is merely pausing to gather forces for another effort and will try to go yet farther in the hope of event- ually breaking through. Any such effort is awaited confident- ly by the allies, whose commanders teel certain that it will meet a similar lack of success. Not Last Battle. The correspondent hi peen able to glean the prevalent views of the allied side as to the situation. Almost with- out exception it is thought the present battle will have a de e influence on the result of the war, but it would be an error to regard It as the last battle. There has been a campaign on the German side to proclaim that this immense effort would result in the allies demanding peace, but they had not counted on the tenacity of either the allied armies or nations. As far as it has gone, the German onensive may be looked on as a fail- ure, since none of its objectives have been attained, and the allied armies | are still intact, while sie Germans now, owing to the dimunition of their forces through casualties, are in an inferior position to that which oc- cupied before the battle began. The only result they can show is the re- capture of a large tract of country they themselves devastated, where they may be compelled to dig them- selves in. They are engaged in doing this in some parts of th new front, but under continual harrying by the allied cannon, which are most active day and night. In consequence of thé Germans felling all the 3 in the Somme sector before they re- treated last year, the French and British gunners have a_ perfectly clear view of working parties. The Germans may decide, or may be al- lowed, to remain there until all is in favor ot the allies, who are awaiting constant increase of their strength through the arrival of American con- tingents, Americans Going Over Announcements of the accelera- tions of their departure from the oth- er side of the Atlantic are received with enthusiasm by all the otier al lied arrhies in the field. They may. it is pointed out, be called upon to play an important part in the final phases of the struggle, and no greater mis: take could be made than to allow the belief to spread in America that the battle now in progress is a final one On the contrary, every influential al- led authority expresses the opinion that America should not only continue but augment, her efforts both from a military and industrial viewpoint, be- cause it is absolutely essential to face all possible eventualities and meet a further gigantic blow from the enemy, who is still strong. AMERICAN FLYER HAS A THRILLING ESCAPE FROM FOE Paris, April 17.—Frank L. Baylies, of New Bedford, Mass., a LaFayette flyer and now a member of the “stork” escadrille to which the famous Cap- tain Guynemer belonged, made a thril- ling escape from Germans who were pursuing him across No Mans Land, where he was obliged to come down after an aerial combat. Baylies’ machine landed about yards from the enemy’s trenches. The Germans began peppering his machine with bullets. Baylies leaped from his plane and made all speed for the French lines. The Germans left their trenches in pursuit, keeping up a hot fire with rifiles and machine guns. Baylies Sprinted On. ‘Chasseurs- from the French lines, witnessing the race, opened fire on the Germans, killing one .and driving the rest back to their trenches. Bay- lies, who has some records as an ath- Iete, sprinted on, Later he declared that never before had he covered the ground so fast as in the last sixty yards of that run home. The French general commanding the sectoor personally congratulated the American soon after his arrival. Baylies, according to the official rec- ords has brought down four German planes, and, in addition, one not of- ficially recorded. Four of these mach- ines were two seaters, He wears the French war,cross with four palms and the military medal. When Baylies offered himself for en- listment in the United States air ser- vice he was rejected because of de- fective vision. He says he hopes he has sufficiently proved that he can see across No Man’s Land and does not. overlook the Germans in the air.

Washington, D. C., April 18.—Dili- gent ‘search by naval and merchant ps has failed to locate the missing: 1 collier Cyclops and with the passing of the forty-fourth day since the vessel sailed from Barbadoes for an Atlantic port, belief is growing at the navy department that in some way she has been destroyed or captur- ed by the enemy. How this could have happened no one professes to know, but officials regard it as almost impossible that any acident could have caused the sea to swallow up the ‘big vessel and the 293 persons on board without leav- ing a trace, and some think sooner or later an enemy announcement will clear up the mystery. In Service 28 Years Publication of a dispatch from San Francisco quoting Mrs. A. M. Anger- man, a sister of Lieutenant Command- er G. W. Worley, commanding officer of the Cyelo} s saying their family name was Wichtmann, and that her brother was born in Germany and came to America as a child, led to ex- amination today of the commander's record at the navy department. It shows that Worley entered service of the navy twenty-eight years ago and at that time gave San Francisco as his birthplace. He attained the rank of master in the naval auxiliary and for years commanded colliers and supply ships. When the auxiliary was merged with the naval volunteers after the United States went to war, Worley was in command of the Cyclops and he retained that assignment with the rank of Lieutenant commander, TWELVE JURYMEN PASSED DEFENSE; I.

April 7.—Twelve men composing the first panel of venire- men to be examined by either side were turned over to the defense by the prosecution in the trial of more than one hundred Industrial Workers of the World on charges of violation of the espionage act today. George F. Vanderveer, atorney for the defense, was engaged in examining the second man of the panel when Judge Landis adjourned court for the day. The pros- ecution retains the power of challenge over any man in the panel, despite the fact that its examinations for cause is completed. It was learned today that Wm. Kor- mak, former Chicagoan, indicted with the other Industrial Workers of the World and for whom government ag- ents have been searching, has been acting as general in the Bolsheviki army in Russia.

Drennan and Bougas bed a large empty sack and threw it over a pile of flaming paper, in a rear room of the store, nearly over- turning an oil can nearby. When they lifted the sack a. smoldering black ip was revealed.

PERSHING IS IN NEED OF SKILLED MEN Artisans of Every Description Must Be Had to Fill Out Army Units ‘There is an immediate demand for skilled men in various units of the army, needed by eneral Pershing, Adjutant General Fraser advises local draft boards in a letter issued today. selective service machinery must re these men. Delay in seyerat 's in sompleting the occupational cards precludes a resort to the cards to secure these men and makes it ne- cessary to improvise a temporary plan for the purpose. About 12,000 men will be needed in the near future, which the war department hopes to procure through coluntary induction. Each board is murnished with a list of occupations of men needed now and it is asked that the widest publicity be given this urgent call through the columns of local newspapers. Quali fied registrants will be urged to pre. sent themselves to the local boards. The war department has no appropria- tion to pay for this advertising, which newspapers are requested to furnish gratis. The military duty and training of these skilled men will be interesting and the men who succeed in securing induction into the branches of the ser- vice to be filled will receive material personal benefit which will aid them in advancement, both in their army career and in after life, states General Fra: Inductions are not to be made at this time. As registrants present themselves to their local boards, they will be listed, (not inducted) and on April 29 local hoards should notify the adjutant general, of the number of men who have volunt: d for each of the different occupations. The occupational list to be filled fol- lows: Air-brake inspectors, Angle-iron smiths, Auto mechanics and helpers (gen @ al, engine, magneto, or ignition), Bargemen or boatmen, Blacksmiths and helpers, Boatbuilders and helpers, Boiler makers and helpers, Brakemen, ftlagmen, or conductors ad), Bricklayers, Buglers, Carpenters ‘ and helpers bridge, house, general), joine: tern makers, Caulkers, wood, Chauffeurs ,auto, truck or tractor), Chemists, Clerks (railroad or general), Cobble!
