LONDON. March 2 A hopeful -riew of tha situation la given by the Morn ing Post'a correspondent at tba front. telegraphing Thursday night. "The greateat crista la thought to ba over, he says. "Fresh troops are com ing up steadily and new battarlea are laying tha foundatlona of a formidable protective barrage. "There are aigna that the enemy I being pushed lor reserves. He has thrown In one of his naval divisions. which he haa not dona hitherto unless caught short-handed. An unknown factor In tha battle toward which tha English people are eagerly looking la tha American Army In France. "Where are tha Americans? When ara they coming In?" are queationa be' Ing asked everywhere. All the Amer icans In London are being asked by their English friends for answers to these queries. Asaertcaa Itmiftt Exaggerated. America has been depended upon to fiX the gap left by Russia. The popular bollef regarding the number of Amer ican troops in France probably la great ly exaggerated. Many believe there are 1.000.000 or even 1. 000.000 Americans already on the European side of the ocean and the actual weight of Amer ican support Is likely to prove a sharp disappointment. Editorials In tha morning nevrs papera comment In grave but confident tones on what the majority characterize aa a fresh crisis. Tha Daily Mail, al luding to the new enemy thrust at the French, says: The question I whether the ferench can ? bark this new and terrlfle attsck.

The answer is given that Field Marshal Halg naa problem to deal with which are far more Impor tant than writing reports, and that even the preparation of mreesges of cheer snd encoursgement would be an un necessary Intrusion upon his time. The British people are patient. They are willing to wait for the news. They know that their casualties must be at palling, as compared to all previous wars, but they willingly consent to de lay in the receipt of these lists. Pate of Fas pi re at Stake. The battle, which la on a scale too great to give It a name, haa now lasted minds of the men directing the prog ress of military affairs for the allies, but seemingly it must come soon. If it is to be effective. The German advance now Is converglngon Amiens, tha rail road center of Northern France, which is known' to be the ganglion from which run the main communications of the British army in Northern France. The railroad from Paris to Amiens waa cut by the Germans at Montdidien but thia would not be vital If Amiens It self is held by the allies. The German thrust in front of Arras has apparently come to a stop before Orange Hill. Telegraph Hill and the Labyrinth, strongholds held by the British in this sector. Repeated mass attacka by the Germans on these points nave railed. A German official statement declares that since the offensive 70.000 prison ers and 1100 guns have been taken. The French reports are silent aa to the progress made on the line from Lasslgny to Noyon. except to aay that the attack Is still continuing and that fresh French troopa are arriving In thia region. Nothing has developed to show that thia is more than a purely local engagement fought for the pur pose of preventing the Germans from reaching tbe Oiae River and having thla stream aa aw additional p&otection iu mcir ici k liana. While it has been officially reported from Rome fhat Austrian divisions from Russia and Galicia. numbering approximately 480.000 men, have ar rived on the Italian front, there have been no developments there Indicating wnere tne expected blow from tho Teu tons will fall. A new advance by the Germans in Russia Is noted in London dispatches. This movement is in the neighborhood of Kurst, 100 miles south of Moscow. An official Austrian statement denies that the Bolshevik forces hare recap tured Odessa, the great Russian port on the Black Sea. LONG SENTENCE GIVEN CAMP LEWIS SOLDIERS SENT FEDERAL. PRISON'S.

McLcmore Hc-solution and Vote by Which It Was Tabled In House Explained in Wisconsin by Congressman Fess. LA CROSSE. Wis.. March ?9. Con gressman Jrvin L. Lenroot. Republican candidate for United States Senator, addressing two meetings at Tomah. Monroe County, today and a large meeting here tonight, explained how America was drawn Into this war and declared the Nation will fight on until it is in a position to make peace with victory and forever prevent another world war. "The Democratic politicians." he said. turning to the present campaign, "have raked my record with a fine toothed comb, but they have been unable to discredit it except when they lie, which they have not hesitated to do to catch votes." To support his charge that he is being misrepresented, he pointed to the great hubbub the Democratic Na tional Committee has raised over his failure to vote on the soldiers' insur ance bill and the espionage bill. Dangatera lllneaa Excuse. There was no contest in the House on either proposition." he said, "and my vote was not needed. At the time these questions came up I was in Cali fornia at the bedside of my daughter, who was seriously ill. The men who now try to turn my absence into polit ical advantage know the true facts. "I have no apology to make for my vote on the McLemore resolution. If I were to do it all over again in the 'same circumstances, I would vote the same way now. because if this country had to go to war against Germany I wanted the declaration of war based on an issue the right of which was so clear and the justice of which was so plain that no good American would ques tion the righteousness of the war." RIPON, Wis., March 29. In a speech here tonight at a Lenroot meeting Congressman Fess. of Ohio, explained just what happened to the McLemore resolution, which has figured largely in the Wisconsin Senatorial campaign. McLemore Resolotioa Explained. "The Mcljemore resolution," he said, "introduced by a Texas Democrat, dis turbed the President. He called to the White House Chairman Pou, of the rules committee, and requested him to report on the resolution, in order thatj the House might have to make a show down, as the r-resiaent caiiea it. j n nen 11 c ii iu i uriuie liib illtuc a movement waa made to table it- Many members, including Mr. Lenroot, in sisted that the House, in accordance with the wishes of the President to have a "showdown" on the resolution, should take a direct vote on the resolu tion and. therefore, opposed the motion to table. Tbe facts are the McLemore resolution never was voted on in the House, because the motion to table pre vented it." had been no change, since the original announcement, as to kind of meals and grains which are counted wheat sub stitutes to be sold under the "50-50" regulation. "Despite repeated publication of this fact," said Mr. Ayer. "there seems, to be still some confusion in regard to these substitutes and I wish to say again that the only products that are permitted as substitutes under the regulation are: Bailey flour, buck wheat flour, corn flour, potato flour, rice flour, cornmeal, cornstarch, corn grits, hominy, hominy grits, oatmeal. rolled oats and rice. Wheat flour in eludes graham and whole wheat flour." END NOT YET IN 5 IGHT LONDON MAIL PREDICTS MONTHS OF FIGHTING. BUSINESS BAR IS RAISED Government Rescinds Order Allow ing Roads lo Seek Trade.

America's Greateat Service to Allies) Is to Send Soldiers to France, Newspaper Asserts. LONDON", March 29. Referring to Premier Lloyd George's urgent appeal to the United States for men, as sent through the Earl of Reading. British High Commissioner, the Daily Mail says: "This nation and its allies must be prepared for another month, or per haps two months' of continuous fight ing. To meet the stupendous efforts and evident desperation of the enemy, our efforts and those of our allies must be on equal scale." The newspaper then briefly sums up America's effort since entering the war nearly a year ago and continues: "With this record many Americans are by no means satisfied. It hurts them to think that in this battle of bat tles they are not playing a greater part. We think their self-reproaches exag gerated, but undoubtedly the German offensive will not have been without its use if it spurs America to concentrate on the problems of raising and landing in France the greatest number of trained soldiers. That Is the main as sistance America can render us at this crisis." Temperance argument: The light of the sun is 600,000 times greater than thnt of the moon when it is full. MibMitules Aot Changed.
