Success of Enterprise Would
-Have Disastrous Effect Upon
Allies; Thrust Resisted
Stoutly by British.
(By Associated Trem.)
Washington, April 11 In today's
reports from France on the battle in
the Armentieres region military ob
servers here read with satisfaction of
the successful British counter attacks
which overcame much ot the initial ad
vantage gained by the Germans in
, their first rush. The stiuation was not
sufficiently clarified, it was said, how
ever, to determine whether the effort
was a separate movement aimed at the
channel ports or an extension of the
Amiens onslaught designed to widen
he base of the wedge aimed at that
town.
Thurst Held in Check.
In any case the British have not
allowed the new thrust to gain any
great momentum, despite the evacua
tion of Armentieres itself. The town
has been under gunfire constantly and
had no strategic advantage. Its evacu
ation was made certain by the extent
of the initial penetration of the Brit
ish lines on both sides, leaving it at
the apex of a narrow and dangerous
wedge.
Some officers believe the whole
movement in tins region is designed
by German strategists to offset a sim
ilar danger on a far greater scale to
their own main front of operations to
the south. The advanced German
troops in the Amiens action are
roughly 25 to 30 miles beyond the
general trend of the line which they
, assaulted when the drive began three
weeks ago. The width of the break
in that line is from SO to 60 mile9.
Attack on, 100-Mile Front.
The extremes of the allied line now
assailed from south to north are more
than 100 miles apart if the whole Ger
man movement is regarded as onq ac
tion. It was suggested today that the
Germans might plan transfer of the
weight'of their assault northward so
as to throw the apex of their wedge
toward a point on the coast west of
Boulogne and Calais, the main British
base at the narrowest point inv the
channel.
The only other theory advanced in
explanation of the Armentieres thrust
, was that it might constitute a whol
I ly separate operation, aimed direct
' ly at these two ports;
The success of an enterprise against
the channel ports obviously would
have a most disastrous effect upon the
aUies. -
IRISH TO OPPOSE
WAR IF DRAFT IS
' IMPOSED ON ERIN
. f
London, Wednesday, April 10.
Irishmen maintain the right to say
whefher they shall be conscripted or
not; Captain William A. Redmond,
son of the late John E. Redmond, de
clared today in his first speech in the
House of Commons since lie was
elected to the constituency formerly
held by his father. His speech was
during discussicui of the government
man power bill. The captain was in
military uniform and occupied his
father's old seat in the house.
In 1914, he said, Ireland was almost
I ablaze with enthusiasm on the side
of the allies, but the sentiment of the
Irish ceoole had since changed
toward the war, owing to distrust of
the British government and in the
word of British ministers.
By the government's present action
the Ireland of tomorrow, he added,
would be in open hostility to the war.
It woul require armies vn Ireland to
recruit battalions, while if the govern
ment trusted Ireland, that trust would
not be .betrayed. Captain Redmond
warned the house that if the govern
ment pursued its present policy there
would soon be no Irish party in the
House of Commons, but there would
be a much harder nut to crack Ire
land. Lane Urges Legislation
For Promotion of Mining
Washington, jApril 12. Legislation
to entourage mining in the United
States of minerals necessary in the
manufacture of war materials, but
now largely imported , from South
America and Europe, was recom
mended to congress today by Secre
tary JLane. He sent to Senator Hen
derson of Nevada, chairman i of the
mines committee a draft! of a bill car
rying aft appropriation of $50,000,000
from which financial assistance would
be given to prospectors in developing
' the mining of these minerals. '
Minerals the quantity production of
which the administration hopes to see
duplicated are manganese, pyrite, an
timony, plamnum, mercury, tungsten,
sulphur, tin and graphite, All are
found in this country and especially in
the swestern states.
Devepment of scuh mines would
release thousands of tons of shipping
now used in importing the minerals,
it was said, and also would tend to
keep down the rapidly increasing
prices of the commodities.

"It seems to mc," Mr. Hoover said,
"that in addition to the restrictions
imposed on large trading on specula
tion that the exchanges should set
their faces rigidly against the stimu
lation of minor speculation through
the operation of private wire houses.
The majority of the exchange mem
bers have long recognized mat tuts
type of business, in the public mind,
is akin to bucketshon speculation."

Bonds Are Transferable,
Same as Any other Property
A story has been circulated that the
third Liberty bonds are not transfer
able and that a purchaser cannot get
hi; money out for 10 years.
E. F. Folda, secretary of the Ne
braska Liberty loan committee, au
thorizes this statement: "Third Lib
erty loan bonds are transferable, the
same as any other property, and may
be sold if necessity demands. The
bonds are not convertible into any
other bonds, as the first two loans
were, and this is probably responsible
for the story."
