tha sending of American forces tbroad
The crisis came home with full force
today from England's action in rais
ing the military age to 50 years of age
and her proposal to conscript Irishmen.
President Wilson cleared the way by
sidetracking the idea of a political of
fensive against Austria and by declar
ing that hereafter unstinted force will
be America's role. Lloyd-George, au
thorities pointed out, staked his polit
ical career and ran the risk of serious
rebellion in Ireland in forcing the con
scription issue.
Only a really grave need for men
would force these steps.
British General Failed
The shelving of General Gough, lead
. er of the beaten Fifth British army,
jilus appointment of General Foch as
ichiei' strategist, evidently, superceding
the Versailles council plan revealed
untold features of the western battle.
Britain and France have been through
the fire and close to a fatal conflagra
tion, according to military men.
Something went wrong with the
Fifth army, they say. And Lloyd
George himself pointed out that only
part of the story of that western hell
has been told to date. Enough now is
revealed, however, to convince mili
tary authorities here that England and
France have drawn heavily on reserves
to halt the Germans before Amiens.
America will play a vast part in the
coming days. Her troop shipment sc-hed
ule is geared high, and she will have a
surprising representation on the west
line in the next three or four months.
This addition, with Britain's new
men, is counted on definitely to check
German ambitions.
The situation, in England and Ire
land, aside from the question of furn
ishing Americans more rapidly, offers
embarrassing problems for American
,statosmen. The alien draft treaty,
while mot now mentioning Ireland, is
so framed that when conscription is
enforced in Ireland, it can fie ' used
against Irishmen here.
The general belief, here is that con
scription in Ireland will stick and
that in time the agitation against it
will subside. America will probably
take no steps to draft Irishmen until
this quieter .stage is reached.
London Indorses It
London, April 10. The London morn
ing newspapers, for tho most part,
praise Premier Lloyd-George's courage
in demanding Irish conscription. They
hold it purely a matter of justice, re
quiring Ireland though belated to
pay a portion of the cost of world
freedom.
Though it is realized the enforce
ment of conscription in Ireland is
fraught with possibilities of a serious
nature, there seems to be a desire for
a showdown. There is confidence that
pos.-u.ble organized resistance in ire
land would bo defeated, because it is
Ibelieved tlult such resistance would
not represent all Ireland's opinion, but
merely the fragment which is respons
ive to the obstructionist politicians.
After all, it is held by the London
press, it is tho government's duty to
enforce all measures for the country's
safety, upon all subjects.
The Express said: ' 'We are warned
that conscription will unify the na
tionalists and Sin Feiners in rebellion
against the British. We do not believe
this- If Ireland does not respond to
conscription, strong , orders from the
government must govern the situation'
Though curious as to the course of
events on the western front since the
German attack, especially in view of
Lloyd-George's statement that the
British army command had advance
knowledge of the German plans, the
morning newspapers mostly expressed
willingness to await further informa-

Calls It a Blunder
San Francisco, April 10. T. P. O'
Connor, Irish leader, and former mem
ber of parliament, regards Premier
Lloyd-George 's proposal for conscrip
tion in Ireland as an "insane blund
er." A cablegram was dispatched '"by
O'Connor today to John Dillon, M. 'P.,
declaring conscription would ' 'encour
age our bitterest enemies in this coun
try."
O'Connor's message to Dillon fol
lows: "Must at once record solemn warn
ing against conscription in Ireland. It
will paralyzo friends and encourag
bitterest enemies in this country. This
insane blunder would again render fu

Mihiel was reported by the French war
office today.
"Along the left bank of the Meuse,
in the Apremont forest and in the re
gion of Flirey, there was great mutual
artillery fighting," the communique
said. (The Meuse flows northward
through St. Mihiel and Verdun. It is
on this sector that American troops
took over additional trenches to re
lease French forces for the battle ot
Picardy. Apremont is five miles south
east of St. Mihiel. Flirey is 14 miles
east of St. Mihiel. Both of these plac

ORDINANCE WOULD
POT LOAFING
Alderman Ward Would Com
pel AH Able Bodied Per
sons to Work
Loafing will be made a crime in Sa
lem should the council pass the ordin
ance to be submitted by Alderman
Frank Ward at the meeting next Mon
day evening.
It seems that Mr. Ward has been tak
ing note of the fact that the states and
cities back east have decided that the
days of the loafer are numbered and
lie sees no reason why Salem should
i:ot line up in the latest of war measures
The ordinance is to further define
what shall constitute vagrancy and to
also assist the city marshal and city
recorder in finding employment for the
unemployed.
Following the wording.of tho old vag
rancy ordinance which forbids begging
or lingering about or standing on street
coiners or alleys or public places with
out visiblo means of support; or roam
ing or strolling around the streets of
Salem at unseemly hours of the night,
the ordinance provides: "Or any able
bodied male between eighteen and fifty
years of age who shall, in day time,
habitually frequent or visit pool halls,
billiard rooms, card rooms and bowling
alleys, or who shall in the day time
1 ubitually linger or loiter around about
o:' in such places, or depots, parks or
oth;r public places, is hereby defined
to be a vagrant."
The ordinance also provides that it
shall be the duly of the city marshal
and policemen to frequent and inspect
places whore men are likely to congre
gate and to warn any idle persons to
secure employment. The policemen or
marshal are to inform any loafers found
of the location of tho office of the
city recorder and of the fact that a
list of available positions is kept there
on file.
Besides helping the loafer to find a
job, tho police force is to be instruct
ed to keep a record of the man found
loafing. Another provision is that the
recorder's office keep a register of per
sons who are in need of laborers, to
gether "with the nature of the labor and
wages paid and to make a reasonable
effort to keep in touch with employers
of labor around Salem.
If tho ordinance passes, there will be
no idle rich or idle poor.

London, April 10. The Germans this
morning renewed their northern attack
from east of Armentiercs as far as Mes
sines( five miles north of Armentieres)
General Maurice, director of operations,
announced this afternoon.
"They entered our line between tho
Lys and the Douve (one mile south of
sA mid cniitured a considerable
portion of Ploegsteert wood (two miles
south of the Douve," lie saia.
"The enemy is carrying out its orig
inal program of attempting to bleed
the British army white," Maurice -said.
"The attack on the Messines front
'has been r pulsed and no high ground
has been gained by the enemy but the
small advance made, together with yes
terday's gains, may make Armentieres a
very awkward salient. Tlio enemy is now
on both sides of Armentieres, which is
a heap of ruins. If it is lost it will
not be vital.
"Last night east of the old battle
field, the French carried out a with
drawal from an awkward angle due to
retirements of the Fifth army. Two
French battalions were cut off and
nrobablv 2.000 taken prisoner. The
French fell back to a strong line on the
Ailette. '

yesterday 's attack between Armentieres
and Bethune, and the Portuguese prob
ably lost prisoners.'

Not Borne Out By Facts.
"Information of this sort, not borne
out by facts, has been injurious 'and its
uuiisciini dissemination the committee
regards as misleading and detrimental
to our cause."
Declaring that the production of com
bat planes has thus far boon a sub
stantial failure and constitutes a most
serious disappointment in our war pre
parations, the report said:
"We had no design of our own; neith
er did we adopt any one of the Euro
pean designs unta months after we en
tered tho war. Much time was consum
ed in discussion as tn t
jCrable changes in designs and pecifi-
annua ui. uie typos rinaily decided on
have cost further delays. In all, five
'.'I nave, ni one timo or another,
been adopted. Two nf tlim i,o
abandoned after the expenditure of
imih-u iiuio mm money.
"I lie three remaining types still left
on our program are now in the course
of manufacture. Of these, the s largest
and most powerful is the Hadley-Page
heavy bombing machine, designed to
carry, as many as six men, eight ma
chine guns and a heavy load of bombs,
and to bo driven by two liberty motors.
"The history of the negotiations of
the adoption and manufacture of this
plaue afford a remarkable illustration
of procrastination nnd indecision too
long to recite. Suffice it to say that
the designs and specifications of this
plane which had been used with mark
ed success by the British, and placed in
production by thnt government, Were
offered to our officials as early as May,
1917. The testimony before your com
mittee iows that the signal corps fin
ally decided on the manufacture of a
number of sets of parts of this machine

About the Motors
Concerning the liberty motor, the
committee said:
"It is not designed for and cannot
be used in the swift, single-seater fight
ing machine. A few of the motors arc
being flown in appropriate machines.
The reports as recited to the committee
indicate that nith the latest changes the
motor will be atisfactory for the char
acter of work expected of It and that it
bids fair to hold its own with foreign
motors of similar power, weight, and
purpose. For the campaign of 1919 the
liberty motor must undoubtedly be fur
ther improved in order to keep up with
the evolution constantly going on along
the front.
'Steps are being taken in the design-
They're scared of the Dental Trust, in the first place,
because the big bogie-man threatens to punish
'em if they break any of the rules of the com
bineif they cut prices or advertise or do any
other little thing that the Trust has decided is
"unethical."
They're scared of doing dentistry in a sensible, up
to date way because it would show them up as no
business men at all just old fashioned bunco
artists,, trading on the old reliablesfear and
ignorance.
They're scared to tell the people anything about the
real facts concerning tooth-work, because the
people might find out that the molar-mechanic
was no sooth-sayer but just a skillful artisan,"
who should be charging for his work as any skill
ful artisan should charge. -
They're scared to ask reasonable prices for their
work because they think that they wouldn't get
enough customers to pay the office rent. They
haven't the business sense to know that'a fair
price for a workmanlike job is a wonderful
advertisement in itself, and attracts other
s patrons like flies around the molasses jug.
They're scared to tackle printer's ink to tell people
about tooth-work first, because their traditions
tell them it is so vulgar; second, because they
haven't the confidence in their own ability to
travel in fast company; third, because they are
economically stone-blind.
They're scared of Painless Parker because, despite
the hammer fest, he keeps on enlarging his prac
tice, delivering the goods and defying the Trust.
And they've got sort of discouraged trying to put
him out of business particularly because when
ever Parker's downed for keeps, he opens a few
new dental offices in different cities up and down
our fair land.
