-WASHINGTON". May 27. Germany
apparently has launched another des.
perate attempt to smash her way
through the allied armies to victory
before American troops can reach the
battlefields of France and Flanders in
force.
Associated Press reports from the
British and French fronts telling of
the new assaults which may mean tha(
the supreme test of power is at hand,
were conveyed to President Wilson
Just as he was leaving the White
House for the capitol to ask Congress
for legislation to provide more money
for the war.
President Visits Secretaries.
I-ater Mr. Wilson went to the state,
war and navy buildings for brief con
ferences with Secretaries Lansing,
Raker and Xaniels. It was taken for
granted that the primary object of the
visit was to seek official news from
the battlefront.
So official information had come to
night to supplement press dispatches
from the front. General Pershing's
daily communique made no reference
to the strong drives against the Brit
ish and French, as the communique
deals only with the activity of the
American Army.
Army officials studied the press ac
counts closely for signs of the German
purpose. The fact that one blow was
launched at the southern end of the
Picardy-Flanders battle theater, and
the other at the extreme north end of
the 20o-mile battlefront, was taken as
direct evidence . that today's attacks
were only preliminary moves, that the
German strategy designs.
German Object Studied.
Reports from London and Paris were
watched closeyl today by Army of
ficials here for indications of the extent
and object of the German attacks.
The fact that the Germans were
striking simultaneously at the extreme
flanks of the whole battlefront of the
drive created the impression that there
might both be covering movements de
signed to mask later direct assaults on
the Amiens front.
The front of attack indicated in Paris
advices, from Pinon to Rheims, is an
extension of the battlefront already
more than 100 miles across in a
straight line from Pinon to Ypres and
by the fighting line is probably double
that distance.
I'lankink Dralcn Suspected.
Two theories that might lie behind
today's attacks suggester themselves
to officers here. ' The Pinon-Rheims
effort may be intended as an effort to
xindermine the French line on the
southern flank of the old battlefront.
The French position here has been
regarded as offering great opportuni
ties for flank attacks upon the .Ger
man forces thrusting at Amiens as it
stands almos parallel to the German
line of advance on Amiens throughout
nearly 40 miles, the depth to which
the first assault on that place was
driven.
The Berlin strategists may plan to
hreag through south of the French
flanking line, forcing a withdrawal of
tils whole threatening front behind
which the bulk of the French mobile
army is supposed to be massed.
Amiens' KIott Possible.
On the other hand, heavy attacks at
both ends of the long battle front may
be intended to draw French and British
reserves away from the center before
.Amiens, the Germans relying on the
fait that they hold the inner lines and
therefore can move forces from front
to front within the great salient they
have created more quickly than allied
reserves can be rushed around the outer
lines to meet them.
If the French are compelled to make
dispositions to the south to protect the
Pinon-Rheims front, it was suggested
the Germans might rush back forces for
a new assault on the Amiens front, hop
ing to break through before allied re
serves could be returned from the ex
tremes of the lines.
Guard Order Protested.
ST. PAUL, Minn., May 27. Upon re
ceipt of advice of a War Department
ordes putting members of National
Guard units from Northwestern states
on a. replacement basis in Federal
service. Governor Burnquist planned to
leave at once for Washington to enter
a protest against the order. He sent
messabes to the Governors of Iowa.
N'ebmska and South Iakota, asking
them to join him in the protest.

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of dand
ruff is to dissolve it. then you destroy it
entirely. ' To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring: use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will be
gone, and three or four more applica
tions will completely dissolve and en
tirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it. no matter how much dand
ruff you may have.
You will find. too. that all Itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drur
store. It is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work. Adv.

In the early stages the enemy suc

of these places and the French vir

The attack of the Germans in the

The latest reports show that the

LONDON', May 27. Germany's ' of

not on the extensive scale of previous
Teuton attacks, the Evening Standard
says it understands. At one point in
the neighborhood of Rheims. the news
paper says, the Germans pressed back
the British troops for a short distance.

The Summit of Monte Sigolon. the

near the western end of the front.
The points . mentioned by the .Italian
War Office are northwest of Trent near
the Austro-Italian frontier.
IXJNEKDX, May 27. Strong German
attacks developed early this morning
against the British and French posi
tions between Rheims and fSoissons, the
War Office announces.
Attack Launched In 3iortn.
The attacks were preceded by a
heavy -bombardment. The Germans also
attacked this morning in Flanders be
tween Ljocre and Voormezeele on the
northern eide of the salient.
The front of the German attack la
along the sector which usually is re
ferred to as the Aisne front, owing to
the fact that for a long time the line
of battle followed the Aisne River.
The present battle line runs along the
Ailette River, north of the Aisne.
Over the larger part of this sector,
the French have advanced their line.
The front of attack is about 40 miles,
which is about 15 miles shorter than
the line of the original German attack
on March 21.
In turning to a new aector to strike
j their blow the Germans have taken a
course contrary to that which had gen
erally been predicted by military com
mentators. The view usually expressed has been
that the Germans were committed so
heavily to their campaign in Picardy
and Flanders, and were occupying
such dangerously exposed positions
that they were under the necessity of
striking again at those points when
they resumed the attack.
The German strategy may con
template a surprise attack In aufficient
strength to compel General Foch to
withdraw troops from the North, in
the hope of involving the allies suf
ficiently on the Aisne front to weaken
their lines in Picardy and Flanders.
Fock Ready (or Issne.
If the Germans counted on the ele
ment of surprise to assist them in the
new attack, they probably have fallen
into a miscalculation. It Is evident
from the official British statement that
new dispositions of troops have been
made along the Aisne front.
Before the March offensive the lin
ran to the Oise River, south of St.
Quentin. Going to the assistance of
the British, the French took over
sector extending to a point east of
Amiens. '
There has been no previous intima
tlon of the presence of British troops
on this part of the line except for last
night's German official statement. In
this statement it was said that in the
region of the AiBne. northeast of L
Xeuville. British were taken prisoner.
American Participation Donbtfnl.
American troops may be taking part
in the new battle. Early in the Spring
there were several references in news
dispatches to the presence of Amricana
at that part of the line. Part of these
forces consisted of artillery detach
merits in training, but at one point at
least infantrymen were in the trenches.
There has been no recent reference to
Americans there, howver, and thy may
have been withdrawn.
Four weeks ago today the Germans
sustained a disastrous and sanguinary
repulse in their attempt to advance
northward from Mont Kemmel.
