(By Associated Press.)
The Germans have encountered unfavorable weather for
the hg attack they apparently were contemplating against the
British front and no infantry action had developed when the re
ports Were dispatched from headquarters this forenoon.
Neither was there any movement of the infantry along the
French front, probably for the same reason.
f : The violent artillery battle, however, is being continued in
many sectors on both fronts, notably in the cae of the British
along the line of approximately 15 miles from La Bassee canal
tor above Armentieres, just to the north of the present battle
r.rea. . ;'
I It was reported yesterday to be under a heavy bombard
mint with German gas shells, and the enemy has continued his
pounding of the area, presumably with high explosives as well
T-1D iDHMrHT A T TMfl 0 1 '
The British line on this front has
not moved since the summer of 1916,
and there has been little important
fighting along it in this period, the
Ypres and Arras battles of last year
leaving it untouched on either the
north or the south.
Although the Germans may be con
templating an attack here with the ob
Jcct of dislocating the northern sector
of: the British line if possible, the
probabilities teem that the bombard
ment is more of a demonstration than
anything cite, with the object of dis
tracting Britibh attention and con
ceivably drawing reserves from be
hind the more imporant front to the
south. -.
In the Somrne region the Germans
are; heavily shelling the British line
directly jcast, of Amiens.
The principal artillery battles in th.e
French -area were around the Mont
clidier salient and eastward to Noyon,
These struggles of the big guns were
carried over from yesterday; when the
increased activity began to develop.

The issue of the great battle might
well be determined, Mr. Lloyd George
declared, by the dramatic interven
tion of President Wilson and his &t

at the disposal ( the allies.
Enormous Drain On Men.
It was impossible to over-estimate
the president's offer, as the battle
might yery well be the decisive strug
gle of the war. He; added that the
German attack had stirred up the res
olution, and the determination of
America 'beyond anything that had
yet been heard.
The British reserve, Mr. Lloyd
George said further, had been drawn
upon to a considerable extent to make
up for wastage. If the battle con
tinued' on the same scale the drain on
inan power must cause anxiety,

TW proportion of men between 42

the premier, was estimated at 7 per

be reconstituted and the grounds for

gymen would be required to perform
noncombatant seryice. No one under

After the premier had delivered his

Bill Pending in Congress Would Retire Immense Number
of Silver Certificates and Substitute Federal
Reserve Bank Notes as War Finance
Measure.
. . ... t
Washington, April 9. Melting into
bullion of not more than 250,000,000
silver "dollara how'ih the treasurx. ftr
sale and export to pay trade balances,
and repurchase of silver at $1 an
ounce, is proposed in an administra
tion bill introduced by Senator Pitt
man as an emergency war measure.
; Silver certificates, would ,b with
drawn from circulation as the dollars
are taken from the treasury and fed
eral reserve bank notes of new $1 and
$2 denominations substituted.
If enacted, the measure virtually
would fix a standard price for silver
at $1 an ounce, several cents above the
present, and stabilize the world mar
ket, since the United States produces
almost half of the total. The bill
also is intended to stimulate silver
production and to use thetreasury's
reserve stock of that metal, instead
of gold, to settle this country's com
mercial trade balances in the orient
and elsewhere.
Absorb Entire Output.
In .anticipation of action of con
gress Raymond T. Baker, director of
the mint, has formulated an agree
ment with silver producers and deal
ers to sell to the government at the
$1 rate. The probable result would
be for the government to absorb the
country's entire output, about 74,000,
000 ounces last year. Officials have
stated they would make arrangements
to supply quantities of silver to jew
elers and manufacturers requiring it.
The bill would permit the secre
tary of the treasury to fix the sell
ing price of the government's silver,
but it is assumed this would be not
less than $1. India, China and Japan
need silver most for coinage,' and
quantities also might be exported to
South American countries and Euro
pean neutrals whose trade balances
are against the United States. In
dia's requirements would be . nego
tiated through Great Britain.
Leave Small Bills.
The treasury now hold 491,000,000
silver dollars, containing about 376,-
000,000 ounces of,, ilver. In with
drawing silver- certificates, based , on
this; coyt effort probably would: be
made to take bills of denominations
of $5 and more, leaving the $1 and $2
bills which, now are in great demand.

To sruard asainst contracting cir
culation, however, Senator Pittman's
bill would provide for issuance of fed
eral reserve- bank notes, of which only
$11,670,000 are in circulation, in small
er denominations than the present $5
minimum. Federal reserve bank notes
are virtually the same as national
bank notes,! but the special notes
would have a slightly "different basis,
consisting pf treasury certificates of
indebtedness or .one year gold notes.
Arrangements would be made for
the federal ttserve board to force
withdrawal of these when the silver is
replaced in the treasury. No more
could be issued at any time than the
face value of silver taken from the
treasury.
. M'Adoo Backs Bill.
Secretary McAdob wrote to Senator
Pittman supporting the bill as a war
measure,-although he suggested there
might be a wide difference of opinion
on the best method "of replacing of
silver certificates with other currency.
"In this way,"' the secretary ex
plained, "the large mass of silver
which is, serving no useful active pur
pose now can be made available for
a direct .war purpose. There is no
intention of ' making any permanent
change in the status of the silver cer
tificates. "The proposition is in brief to re
tire silver certificates; to borrow from
the treasury the silver for use, for war
purposes; and then, as silver from
time to time in the future comes on
the market, to replace the silver so
borrowed by purchase in the market
at the fixed price of per fine ounce
and to replace the borrowed silver by
coining the new silver acquired for
that purpose into standard silver dol
lars. There is no time limit in which
this must be done."
Need Small Change.
No silver dollars have been coined
since 1904. For half dollars, quarters
and dimes, the government this year
needs about 21,000,000 ounces of silver.
Determination on the part of treas
ury officials to urge the fixing of a
silver price rtsulted from the erratic
fluctuations of the silver market. A
conference of western senators, silver
producers and treasury officials re
cently discussed the subject ar, length
with the idea of $1 an ounce as a fair
price.
