KUIBYSHEV, April 21 (P
With tho front a morass of mud
and slush, the big armies on
Russia's western front continued
their occasionally fierce but es
sentially local operations todoy
without any material change of
positions.
Most significant factor In the
general situation was the Russian-reported
statement of . a
German captive, a Major Blttner
of tho BOOth transport group,
who pointed out that an American-British
threat Is hanging
over the German high command
In the west and that hopes are
not bright among German offic
ers for a big spring offensive.
This captive was said to have
borne out previous Russian as
sertions that Hitler's projected
spring drive Is now a projected
summer offensive. Thousands of
encircled German troops have
not been allowed to hav day
of rest, ho declared.
Eugene Varga, director of the
international Institute of eco
nomics and politics, declared In
Pravda that the main force of
tho German army no longer Is
youth but reservists over 30 with
families, an assertion that Is
borne out by the prisoner which

Jap Camp Moved to New
Be Disrupted This Year
The Tulelake Japanese camp
site was shifted a mile north-
cast Tuesday morning, when
soil and drainage conditions on
the original grounds were found
unsatisfactory. ' .
Shift to the new location was
accomplished almost without
loss of . construction stride,
Buildings already started on the
old site will be used as tempo
rary quarters for construction
workers.
The new site lies opposite the
end of the peninsula, adjoining
the east side of the highway. It
is on a government lease now
held by Liskey brothers, the
land . being described by the
reclamation bureau as "cheap
pasture." ,
No Crop Disruption -
Meanwhile, It was stated by
bureau officials they had been
Informed there will be no dis
ruption of regular agricultural
activity in the Tule lake basin
this year through the location,
of the camp there.
B. E. Hayden, reclamation su
perintendent, said that farmers
in that area will go ahead with
their crops as usual. He added
that it will probably be too late
for an agricultural program in
connection with the camp by the
time evacuees are actually moved
into the area.
' The change to the new site
was decided upon, it was learn
ed, because the barracks on the
old site would be on ground
that would be mushy a part of
the year, and because drainage
was not satisfactory for installa
tion of sanitary facilities.
Firmer Ground
The new site is on "gravelly"
ground, it was stated, and should
bo more satisfactory. It is about
seven miles south of Tulelake,
adjoining the Klamath Falls-
Reno highway, and it includes
about 800 acres.

Tokyo Cabinet Given
Details on Raid :
Made Saturday .
By ROGER D. GREENE - ;
Associated Press War Editor
Japan launched an apparent
"peace offensive" today a new
air-raid alarms were reported to
have sounded iu central . and
western Japan and the Japanese
cabinet received details on the
damage inflicted by ' American
bombers in Saturday's historic
assaults on Tokyo, Yokohama,
Nagoya and Kobe.
While warning of the propa
ganda danger, American offi
cials have already discounted
such an axis peace drive with
the declaration that the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo
bloc could not be
trusted in a negotiated peace. -.
The new air-raid alarms in Ja
pan were the second since plane
with the U. S. insignia spread
flaming destruction and terror
across a 1-000-mile trail on Sat
urday. . . Coast Faces China
A Berlin broadcast said the
alarm sounded in the afternoon
and was lifted In central. Japan
by an all-clear at S p. m., Japa
nese time a a. m. PWT). .
Japan's west coast faces
China, indicating that the planes
may have come from- the Chi
nese mainland. Imperial Tokyo
headquarters said yesterday that
some of the big U. S. bombers
which took part in the raids Sat
urday had "escaped" to bases in
China. ;- . ; ;
"For -central Japan, the all
clear sounded about S p. - m.,
while the alarm remained in
force for western Japan, espe
cially for Kyushu," the broad
cast said.
Kyushu, one of the four main
Islands of the Japanese Archi
pelago, lies nearest to China and
is the scene of the great Sasebo
naval base, a teeming industrial
belt and the port of Nagasaki.
The Berlin broadcast did not
say whether any bombs were
dropped.
Damage Belittled
In Tokyo, Japanese cabinet
ministers belittled the damage
inflicted on Saturday's raids, as
serting that the transportation
system was "hardly disturbed,"
that the postal service was fully
resumed soon after the planes
left, and that Japanese life was
affected only in a few instances.
Signs of a possible Japanese .
"peace offensive" cropped up in
a Tokyo broadcast quoting Toyo
hiko K a g a w a, Japan's best
known Christian leader, as de
claring: . , .
"Prayers are being said daily
tor an . early conclusion of the
war and restoration of . peace
throughout the world."
