It la roughly estimated by railroad

lowered by later developments but offi
ciate who have studied tha aituatloa
closely are Inclined to believe that they
are more likely to prove higher.
V aaie Advaoe Likely.
The estimate of Increased wagea Is
based on the probability that the

Daring American Invades German

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMT IN
FRANCE. May 13. (By the Associated
Press.) How an American alarm clock
kept the whole German line guessing
and caused the Germans useless ex
penditure of large quantities of ma
chine (run and rifle ammunition all
one night was related today.
- The Americans had been trying for
some time to draw the fire of certain
enemy uilts.
"Leave Fritz to me," said a happy-
faced young American, who. putting an
alarm clock under his arm, disappeared
into No Man's Land under cover of
darkness and fastened the clock to a
wire. '
Soon the alarm rang, whereupon the
Germane opened fire. The wire had
been so arranged that the clock con
tinued to ring intermittently and each
time drew a violent fire from the
enemy.
Meanwhile the Americans rested in
their trenches' and enjoyed a hearty
laugh.
An American officer turned the
tables nicely on the enemy Tecently.
The Germans had retired during a
bombardment to concrete dugouts be
hind their trenches, leaving the first
three lines to one man. who went
around setting off flares so aa to ere
ate the Impression that the whole front
was alive with Germans.
An American patrol leader went
over and discovered the ruse. tie
killed the one German, invaded the
trenches and gathered doxens of street
signs which the Germans had posted,
returning to his own lines with the
signs tucked under his arm.

TWO PARTIES TO CO-OPERATE
Republican and Democratic
Unite In Appeal. ,
PACIFISTS TO BE DEFEATED
Important Step Taken Preliminary
to Elections In November.
Waiving of Partisan Dlf
- ferences Exhorted.
WASHINGTON, May 13. American
voters are called upon to elect only
loyal and "war-tlll-victory" men to
Congress next November, in an appeal
sent to Congressional leaders today by
delegation representing the League
for National Unity.
The two great political parties are
asked to join forces in doubtful dis
trlcts to insure the choice of Congress
men who will be unswerving In their
support of the Government in the con'
duct of the war.
In-the party which received the dele.
gatlon were Representative Ferris, of
Oklahoma, and Representative Woods,
of Iowa, chairmen respectively of the
Democratic and Republican Congres
sional campaign committees; Represen
tative Kitchln, of North Carolina, Dem
ocratic floor leader In the House, and
Representative Gillette, of Massachu
setts, acting Republican leader.
Both Parties Exhorted.
The appeal says In part:
"The Nation must be able to count
upon both parties nominating men at
the forthcoming Congressional prima
ries who are whole-hearted and un
equivocal supporters of the war aims of
our Government and Its purpose to
prosecute the war to a successful termi
nation. -
"In the Interest of the Nation we
ask for more. If In any district it be
comes likely that an anti-war candl
date be successful, it Is the imperative
duty of the two leading parties to
effect a coalition against the non
American or anti-American candidate
in order to make certain of his de
feat.
'An equitable arrangement should be
effected between the two parties cover
ing all such districts as require the
expedient of coalition in order to avert
the election of a disloyal candidate.
Allegiance to Nation First.
'If in any Congressional or Senato
rial election there prove to be a danger
of the election' of disloyal candidates.
It will become the duty of Americans,
regardless of party affiliations, to de
feat such candidates and to set loyalty
to the Nation above personal loyalty to
the party.
"Let no party nominate or elect to
Congress any candidate on a so-called
peace platform. The American Nation,

HUGE MUNITIONS DUMP HIT
Americans Rain Projectiles on
Cantigny and Montdidier.
GREAT FIRES ARE STARTED
Germans' Positions Before V. S,
Army Rapidly Becoming Untena
ble; Allies Await Expected Re
newal of Great Offensive.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IM
FRANCE. May 13. (By the Associated
Press.) A gigantic enemy ammunition,
dump at Cantigny was fired by the
American artillery this morning. At
the same time two fires were started
in Montdidier, followed by numeroua
explosions.
The weather continues misty and
rainy- There was no infantry action
today and only intermittent machine
gun and rifle fire. The position of the
Germans is becoming more and more
intolerable, while the. Americans are
entrenching their positions more firmly.
Any hopes the enemy might have had
of breaking through in this sector are
diminishing.
Huns Get Own Medicine.
The American s take nothing for
granted, but return fire two to one.
which is believed to set a new pace
in this sector. What appears to trouble
the Germans most is that the Ameri
cans never turn back when the enemy
uses gas. They, give him a double
dose of the same, with everything else
the enemy tries.
Improved weather conditions led to
increased air activity In the Toul seo-'
tor today. Manj( American planes were
working over the enemy lines and ob
servation balloons were sent up for the
first time in many days.
The American artillery last night and
this morning directed a heavy and
harassing fire on German rear areas,
where It is known troops are billeted
and it is suspected that others aro
moving.
(By the Associated Press.)
Germany's resumption of the gigan
tic offensive against the allies on the
west front has not yet materialized.
In various sectors there have been
local operations which have no bearing
on the situation as a whole. But along
the entire front there is a quiet that
might be encouraging were it not for
the fact that the Germans are known
to be moving up men and materials for
a new move in the mighty drive
launched March 21.
Serre Region Watched.
Field Marshal Haig's report makes
special mention of the activities of the
German artillery north of Serre. This
little town is situated in the Teutonio
lines north of Albert and marks the
apex of a triangle, the base of which
is the line between Hebuterne and
Bucquoy.
For several weeks military experts
have ' been watching developments in
this particular region because it is the
logical point from which the Germans '
may be expected to launch a great
turning movement against the Arras
sector, where the country is moder
ately level, with long undulating
ridges which might be stormed readily
by heavy masses of troops.
The southern portion of the British
front has been under heavy fire and
this may indicate that the Germans are
getting ready for a new effort to reach
Amiens.
On the rest of the western front the
reports tell nothing of Interest as re
vealing the true situation.
Italians Repulse Enemy. '
Since the Italians captured Mont
Corno Saturday morning, the Austrians
have tried in vain to repain this com-'
manding peak south of Asiago, but
have been met by stern resistance.
Iti Mesopotamia the British forces
have progressed further up the Tigris
and have captured Kirkut, pursuing the
Turks for 20 miles to tho northward.
The British now are 60 miles east of the
Important city of Mosul, the site of the
ancient city of Nineveh and the cross
ing of numerous caravan routes.

by the Germans of Dowager Empress
