As had ho<m/antlolp^tod, tin- Ger mans huvo ^rtwitehed the center of their main o|>crutions from the Amiens sec:or and are now hammering the Jlritlsh and Port ugliest* hard over a fruit, of about 11 tu t |es running from ( 3 ivene^y and l*abas>c to tln> vlclulty of Ariuentlores. The attack was preceded by a ter rific bond mnl men t all along, the line. At hoi no points the enemy wan able to penetrate advanced elements of the Rrltlsh line. oKjxvUUly in the neigh borhood of Xenvo (Miappello, Fau (piltfsarfc and the Gardonnerre farm. Meanwhile all along the greater part of the old line Month of Arras extremely violent artillery duels were In progress, hut the Infantry of both sides kept t?? their tranches except for Isolated at larks of no great ini|K>rt anee. Near the Coury forest and (*ouey-le*('hautoau the French have made a slight retirement the mancu ler apparently being in the nature of llne-st rengthening. Si> well was the ^Iteration covered by French guns that the Germans suffered extremely heavy casualties in endeavoring to make It. null. Details of the part played by Amer lean railway engineers in the opening .stages of the. hut-tie south of Ai*as show that, dropping their tools and taking up arms, they fought sLde by side with Canadian engineers and In flicted casualties by the thousands on -the- Germans* as they advanced in close formation. Realizing the extremely critical sit uation from the standpoint of man power. David Lloyd George, the Brit ish prime minister, has informed the house of commons In a speech that it was impossible longer to exclude Ireland from the provision of con scription, and that the age for mll4-< tary senile would be raised to f>0 years, and in certain specified places It might be increased to 55. The pre mier declared that a bill would be introduced in parliament giving Ire land a measure of self-government. [ItfA-erul of the nationalist members in-j terrupted the premier during his speech and declared that conscription would not be permitted in Ireland. There is .still no indication of the near approach of the expected big bat tle on the Italian front, although the artillery engagements at various points are increasing in intensity. Well directed shots ftvun the Italian guns in the As la go basin nave worked havoc with Austrian ammunition de pots and also started tires inside the enemy lines*. A Turkish official . communication announces the capture by the Turks of Van, in Turkish Armenia. _j In Finland the Germans aiv pre paring to take Helstngfors. according to dispatches from Petrograd. They already have demanded the disarma ment of the forts in Finland and of Russian warships in Finnish waters. It Is said that the Russian commis sioners have agreed to comply with the German demand. The landing of Japanese troojis at Vladivostok is apparent causing fric tion between the Russian bolshevik government and Japan. Nikolai . Le nt nc. the bolshivik premier, in a speech at Moscow Asserted that Rus sia possibly would have to declare war upon Japan as a result of the landing I of the Japanese. _ Stat* Sunday School Association/' Greenwood, S.
