T. - YPRES SECTOR PORTED WEAK j (By United Press) - i Washington, April 26. Army men view the north end of the western battle line as presenting more dangerous elements that the struggle in the Amiens sector, since reinforcements, sufficiently strong, have been thrown into the Amies battle, but there appears to be, more weakness along the British front to the north. The fact is the lines about Amiens have yielded but little thus far, which fact has been most encouraging and has offset the news of the withdrawal in the Bjalliul Wyseheate sector. m STR0MB01!

J jjj Y: PLAMili TO PNS WERE LAID Winston-Salem, April 26. Germany continues to furnish proof that an invasion of the United States has been her plan for more than thirty years." says today's bulletin from Stat Headquarters for War Savings. The bulletin says further that every development since our en try into the war h.w inC;fii and proved the wisdom, the im perative necessity, of America's participation in the war for self protection. "An American stu lent at a German University -ver thirty years ago has said 'hat nearly every student of military science in Germany of that time was required to submit, a plan for the invasion of the United States as a part of his training. While the idea at that time seemed fantastical to him, he says now it has come to have a very sinister meaning, and the United States should take into serious consideration, ai, c.

She may bt' sure he says, that they are work ed out to the last detail ready for use the moment there is any chance of carrying them out suc cessfully. The bulletin would make it '.dear that the United States is no longer fighting England's battles or defending the lives of Belgians Frenchmen and Italians, but that it is fighting to protect her own shores, her own homes and her own people. Every German suc cess and every German failure has shown how necessary to our own welfare and peace, how ne cessary to the safety and peace of the world, the defeat of Germany is. Every foot of ground lias been forced to give up, every foot of land she has seized, has demon strated the absolute necessity of defeating that sinister intolerable thing called Prussianism. Again the bulletin says, "Ws? must come from under the cam ouflage that America is fighting someone else's battle and not for her own life. Wc must get away from the delusion that the war will soon be ended that as it is iiow we are winning. Germany is not yet defeated and unless we defeat her tins year it will be a harder task next year or the next. ' We must with old nothing from the support of the Government.
