WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 10, 1918. M ON CM 0 MM Armentieres Is In Reported Strious Peril From German Attacks AMERICAN TROOPS TO TAKE A HAND Pershing's Men, Apear In Brit i sh Lines and Their Active Participation Will Follow Immediately. American troops will soon be in the thick of the fighting against the great German drive for a decision on the Western front ' according to the indications in today's dispatches. They have appeared in , the British battle front where their presence is expected to be felt shortly, advices ?tata. Meanwhile the new German offensive in Flanders appears to be developing into more than a local op eration. The fighting has spread to the north of Armentieres,-. south of which it first broke out, and a drive is now on between Armentieres and Messines behind which lies the fa mous ridge, the taking of which by the British in their terrific blasting operation of last year gave them their firm hold on the Flanders situation. The German effort in the Flanders stroke is really of "such magnitude as to constitute another attempt to break through the British lines, in the opinion of at least one of tre mendous concentration of artillery and the throwing in of dense masses of infantry denoting this purpose. . JNew German attacks today have carled the fighting in the great battle on the Western front In Flanders and extended the battle to a stretch of approximately 130 miles from, near the Belgian town of Ypres, in the north to the Vinci ty of - Coucy-Le;Cha-teau, on the extreme : French right .. The afresh ,AeiB bltEM&4" terday between TiaBassee and Arm entieres, has already driven a deep salient into the British lines below Ar TTientieres and the Armentieres region itee! was reported under attack this morning. The infantry fighting is spreading to the northward, following a heayy bombardment, by the German guns which extended as far as the Ypres homines canal, just to the southeast of Ypres. v Armentieres, already near the tip of a sharp bend in the line, has now been further " pocketed and seems in erious peril from converging attacks north and south. The British, how ever, are holding the line of the river to the southwest "of the town, jand at the latest reports had pre vented an attempted crossing by the ' Germans at Bac St. Maur, four miles southwest of Armentieres, and anoth er at Estaires, still further to the southwest. From the vicinity of Estaires the British are holding the line of the river Lawe southward for ashort dis tance, the front then curving in a southeasterly direction and coupling up with the original line at or near Givenchy. The maximum depth of the German penetration was apparently about 4 1 2 miles at Estaires. Givenchy, at one time in German. hands during'the attack, was re-takenby the British in e counter thrust. The German .effort on this new front, if it succeeds to no further ex tent than it apparently has so far. 'oe? not seem likely to have any Greater effect than to . compel modi fication in the British, line north of LaBassee canal. If the British can continue to hold Givenchy the front tr the southward would hardly be dis turbed and the direct effect of the 'Irive on the great battle to the south v ould be neglected. In a new offensive movement be tween Arras and Ypres,-the Germans have pushed back the center , of the Allied Ifaie on an 11-mile front. Heavy fighting still goes on with the Brit ish and Portuguese striking hard against the enemy on the line of the river Lys, Southwest of Armentieres, and the British holding the advance n check South of Armentieres (and a? Givenchy, the extreme ends of the battle front. - The purpose of the German effort is not yet cleax.( It has only , sue1 'eeded in entering the foremost de fenses at several points along the front, but should the " enemy drive through to beyond Betbune and the Clarence river the strong British posi ;ionp nt Arras and Ypres would be "rp- --';red. The first onslaught, 1 " -r. did not make any great 7; i '. although the Germans attacked "in t.ron.n: forco after a most severe artillery bombardment -of 48 hours. On ;i front of about four miles Je-f-een Neiue Chanelle and Cardott tere farm the Portugese and British have been driven back about a mile Laventie, West of Faquissart, is 1n German -hands. The enemy also occupied Rochebourg-St. Vaast, 0 3 VERY DISAPPOINTING Senate Military Committee Recommends. Drastic Reor ganization of Board Washington, April 10. The govern ment's aircraft program is character ized as "gravely disappointing" and a drastic reorganization of production machinery, was recommended in a re port by the Senate Military Commit tee today which charged government officials with misrepresenting the sit uation and misleading the public and with "procrastination" and "indeci sion."

On the Northern end the British still hold Fleurbaix and have thrown back the Germans at the LaBassee canal, on the Southern extremity. For more than 18 months there has been no heavy operations on 'this front. Prior to 'the offensive in Pic- nrriv the Germans had bombarded this front heavily. Raids and local attacks they made then were repulsed by the Allied troops. Neuve Cha pelle, however, was the center of much fighting during 1914, 1915 and On the Franco-British battle front below Arras and across the Somme to the region of Coucy, ' there has been no infantry activity, although the artillery duels have been most vio lent. French artillery broke uj a German attempt to attack near Han gard, South of the Somme and West of Noyon an enemy assault was re pulsed by French infantry and artil elry. The German advance between the Oise and the Ailette apparently has been checked by the French, who are rTow in their prepared positions. In his appeal to the House of Com mons for more men Premier Lloyd George declared that greater man power was a grave necessity and that more men at this Juncture might bring about the decisive defeat of the German armies in the great battle of the Somme. The gravity of the-situation was shown by the proposal to include Ireland under the British con scription act. The Premier said that the cabinet would soon introduce a home rule for the Ireland bill. Much opposition was voiced to the Irish proposals and the Premier was inter rupted repeatedly by Irish members. The government's bill, however, pass ed the first reading and the debating time op.

Among the more import ant actions by the convention were the unanimous selection of John M. Morehead, of Charlotte, as the party's candidate against Senator F. M.
