Washington, March 28. The War department has taken precaution against American soldiers being caught by the various snares and traps which the Germans invariably spread thickly through territory they are forced to evacuate. A special brochure on this subject has been prepared by the intelligence division of thj general staff for the instruction of officers who are to be held responsible for the proper warn ing of their men. British correspondents described in detail the many devices left by the Germans when they were drawn back in the so-called "Hindenburg retreat." Information derived by the French and British is included in the War de partment's pamphlet from which the following are extracts: Suspicious of Shelters. "Until specialists have had a chance to investigate, one must be very suspicious of shelters which, are ex cessively well furnished or luxurious; houses that seem' miraculously to be left standing among ruins; all new work; recently constructed trenches; parts of equipment in good condition left with others which are worn; metal scraps; woodwork of shelters; the favarite 'souvenirs' of soldiers, uch as rifles, bayonets, empty shells, shields, helmets, left clearly in evi dence as thongh left purposely where found; articles stuck in ground or walls; utensils scattered around trenches or shelters; even the flooring of firing steps which look lately re paired And refinished floors. Beware Drinking Water. "Stabling for horses should be thoroughly disinfected and only used ;:autiously after ' burning all the bed iing, straw and oats - left behind. "The sign, 'use of this water is forbidden,' must be placed above all sources of water supply until ana yzed by technical experts. "Listening tests will be made in all buildings, galleries and subter ranean chambers to make sure that there are no clock work driven infer tal machines. Mine Abandoned Trenches. "One should be careful to cut all' iuspicious looking . threads, beuig :arcful not to sever those stretched :ightly, for they may support weights vhich fall and strike detonators. "According to information from prisoners," the booklet adds, "it ap pears that the Germans, in addition ;o the traps and ambushes already mentioned, have made preparations on a: large scale for mining the trenches and shelters which they con template evacuating.' Therefore, it is necessary during the advance, to forbid the use of. enemy' trenches. The . first lines especially should go beyond and build new trenches. Wood May Not Be Returned To Active Duty at Front Washington, March 28. Major General Leonard Wood still is here waiting for the physical examination at the hands of an army board, which will determine whether he shall re turn to France in command of fight ing troops or remain in the United States on inactive duty.

Tuesday, March 26. An American, who escaped from Minsk two days after the Germans occupied the city, has reached Moscow and re ports the local population there much incensed against the invaders. The more than 200 miles between Minsk and Moscow ( were covered by the American by walking and riding in sleighs, railway traffic being inter rupted. v Polish troops, who assisted the Germans in capturing Minsk, he says, were amazed and disgusted when, two days after the occupation, the Germans seized their armored motor cars and announced that the Germans alone would police the city. All motor cars, cart and wagons were commandeered by the Germans, who at or.ee began to seize all food stuffs. This speedily turned the pop ulation against them and telephone lines of communition with the Ger man bases were repeatedly cut by the Russians, despite warning by the Ger mans that all persons doing this would be killed. The American says there are about 2,000 German soldiers in Minsk and the local population is so antagonistic that a movement against the invaders is expected. The Germans are said to have very little artillery. KAISER'S THANKS . FOR GUN USED. AGAINST PARIS i Amsterdam, March 28. The gun with which the Germans are bombard ing Paris, is a product of the Krupp works at Essen. Emperor William has sent a telegram of thanks to Dr. Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach, the head of the Krupp works. The tele gram reads: "By the bombardment of Paris from a distance of considerably more than 100 kilometers, your new gun has bril liantly stood the test. By the manu facture of the new gun you have added a new page to the fame and histocy of Krupp. I therefore express to you and all your co-workers my imperial thanks for this achievement of German science and labor." FRENCH PREMIER CONFIDENT OVER BATTLE RESULT Paris, March 28. Premier Clemen ceau told the army committee of the Chamber of Deputies today that the moment was near when the reserves of the allies would enter into action. The great battle now being waged in France would then take on a new phase, and, he added, there was every reason. to hope that the enemy would not retain the benefit of the gains made at such a bloody price. There waj a settling down along the British and French fronts, where the German were trying to break through, and even within the last few hours there had been noted a slack ening in the enemy's efforts, he said. Lambs for Easter in Demand; Chickens Are Not Plentiful "Easter ra'mbs are what they all want," said Jake Rossoff, manager of the Public market, as he came into his store laden with orders for lambs from all the leading hotels for Eas ter. "I put in a supply of 325 lambs, but from the way the orders are coming in it looks as though I will havevo make another visit to South Omaha and pick out more." Chickens are hard to buy at the present time because of the ruling of the food commission that no liens may be sold until the last of spring, or until they are through with spring laying or setting. This war measure has nearly put a stop to the sale of poultry, for the stock of young roost ers were almost cleaned out early. Omaha is also to do its "bit" by raising chickens, according to the de mand for incubators and supplies for raising chickens. Republicans Busy With Plans for New Platform Portland, Me., March 28.

EXPEL SENATOR LA FOLLETTE, IS CRY r SENATE Mississippi Solon Hurls Charges Against Wisconsin Statesman; Condemns Berger as Pro-German? Washington, March 28. Reading from Wisconsin newspapers regarding the senatorial campaign, Senator Wil liams, democrat, of Mississippi, said: "That of course refers to Senator La Jjollctte, who ought to be expelled from this body." This was the first declaration ever made in the open senate for expulsion of the Wisconsin senator. Senator Williams also declared Vic tos Berger, socialist candidate in Wis consin, ought to be interned. After reading part of the newspa per clippings, Senator Williams asked leave to print a part without read ing, but Senator Fall of New Mexico, republican, objected and the Missis sippi senator proceeded with his read ing, interjecting: '."What I want to enforce on the re publican minority is that this coun try is no longer composed of repub licans and democrats, but of patriots and lukewarm patriots or pro-Germans on the other side. Politics has dropped into inocuous dessuetudc. I am talking with the partisan bias of a pro-American." Brand Berger Pro-German.
