Hurricane of Artillery and Machine
Gun Fire Is Let Loose When
Opponents Make Slightest
Move Tactics Improved.
OS THE FRENCH FRONT IN
FRANCE. May 31. (From a Staff
Correspondent of the Associated
I'ress.) Between April 15 and May 24
the number of German prisoners fall
ing into French hands reached a total
of 31.829, of whom 28,045 were un
bounded. This period covers three
phases of the general attack now tem
porarily abated, which the French un
doubtedly will continue when the
proper moment arrives.
As a result of the successful attacks
the French now possess the initiative
and occupy more important positions
than when they began the forward
movement in April. Artillery duels
continue unceasingly at all points on
the front, occasionally intermingled
n'lth local Infantry combats in which
short stretches of trench sometimes
change hands.
Germans Are Nervous.
Thus far the French always have re
trained any positions taken from them
find at some places have bitten fur
ther into the German lines.
The Germans are showing great ner
vousness as to what is about to hap
pen and the slightest movement in the
French fines calls for that hurricane of
artillery and machine gun fire. The
absolute confidence of the French in
their superiority is seen in the manner
In which they move over intervening
ground between the lines when ordered
for attack. The tactics now employed
permit them, to attack with minimum
losses.
This was demonstrated, for Instance,
in a recent raid in the range of hills
end the woods south of Chevreaux. A
mall body of French infantry ad
vanced In order to straighten the line,
severe artillery preparations having
(preceded the assault.
Six Companies Annihilated.
The Infantry gained the objective
Pnd took 30 prisoners in addition to
lulling a number of Germans.
Later it was discovered that French
chells had battered the German shel
ters so thoroughly that six full Ger
man companies, crouching in the shel
ters while awaiting an opportunity for
n. counter attack, had been killed to
the last man. The place was a sham
bles. The total French loss In this affair
mounted to only 27 men killed or
wounded.
This proportion applies only to one
eorner of the battlefield, for in other
places the French encountered diffi
culties which held them back for . a
period and entailed much more severe
lighting, with consequent higher casu
alties. Close observation by the corre
spondnent of the whole fighting front
from Soissons to Auberive, however,
shows clearly that the French casual
ties are much lower than the German.
As the French, despite all difficulties
f ground, everywhere gained and held
the objectives aimed at. they are In a
good position to establish what are the
enemy's losses.

SEATTLE, Wash.. June 1. (Special.)
When the attention of United States
District Attorney Clay Allen was called
to a pamphlet entitled "The Conscien
tious Objector," advising antl-conscrlp-tion
advocates of the course to pursue
during the selective draft period. Rev.
Sydney Strong, pastor of the Queen
Anne Congregational Church. the
author, was called to the office of that
official.
After talking with Dr. Strong for
nearly an hour Mr. Allen dismissed him.
'I feel that Dr. Strong was not in
spired by any desire to promote vio
lence In the resistance of the selective
draft law," said Mr. Allen tonight.
While he made no promises and ex
plained that he had distributed the
pamphlet only among personal friends
or public officials, I feel sure that he
will discontinue the practice."
The distribution of the pamphlet.
coming as It did from one of the most
prominent ministers of the gospel In
the city, excited considerable comment.
The pamphlet advised those who con
scientiously object to conscription that
two courses are open to them: to re
fuse to register, or to register and
claim exemption, reserving to them
selves the right to refuse to serve if
selected. In either case, the pamphlet
called attention to the penalty exacted
for so doing. It also cited objections
to the conscription law in general,
terming it an unconstitutional enactment.

ington, June 1. The proposed Pacific
Coast steamship merger may be upset
by the United States Shipping Board
when it gets authority conferred by
pending legislation to commandeer
American steamers wherever found and
place them in the trans-Atlantic trade.
General Goethals, in recent talks with
Pacific Coast shipping men, has lndl
cated that some. If not all. larger
ships now engaged in coastwise trade
on the Pacific may be brought around
through the Canal to be used either as
troop transports or for transporting
upplles and munitions to the allied
countries.
So far as can be learned, there has
been no determination as to what ships
will be taken from the Pacific, but the
selections likely will be made on rec
ommendations of Captain Pillsbury
General Goethals' representative at San
Francisco. Because of their appoint
ments and speed, there has been some
talk of utilizing the steamers Great
Northern and Northern Pacific as troop
transports, rough estimates showing
mat tnese steamers can be equipped to
