Asked If he favored a five-mile dry zone for Philadelphia, he said he only favored such a step as a last rcsodrt. Mayor Smith came to his ofllco in City Hall early today and, denying him self to all visitors, made final prepara tions to give Philadelphia's answer to the report sent him by Secretary Dan iels, of the Navy Department, that this Is tho "worst city" In tho country. Tho forty-elght-hour ultimatum to po lice captains and llcutcnantp to clean up all resorts In their districts or suffer suspension expired at noon, and as there hap been virtually no action taken by the police It Is expected things will begin to happen today. To marshal properly his facts for to day's offensive, Major Smith again care fully went over the sheaf of reports pre pared for him by Captain A. I Souder. D. Clarence Gibhoncy and police du ctals. The Mayor Is expected to refuto the charges contained In the Fosdlck report. He has already expressed the opinion that the furore over vice Is "highly exaggerated" and due largely to "hysteria," and that charges In the re port In several Instances are untrue.

President Wilson may take a hand in tho situation himself bo that the list may be announced as usual. Acting Chief ot Staff March held that the Baker order prevented t'ho depart ment from giving out casualties, Inas much as It concerned "persons" under headquarters' jurisdiction. Tho Baker order a!d news of persons and policies under tho Pershing expedition should be announced solely by Pershlngo head quarters. As a result if this older, the com munique from General Pershlnx as to west frond movements can bo ;;lveu out only at headquarters and not licio.

General Lull in Battle A deadlock has devclopccr in the battle of Picardy. As a result of the unbreakable defense of the valiant-Anglo-French armies and the ex haustion of the shattered German armies today the fourteenth of tho German offensive found the battlo front virtually unchanged. Passing of the second week of the conflict brings confirmatory evidence of indications perceptible for some dnys that theN high powered German war machine, which was intended to act as a steam-roller over the Allies to Paris and the English Chniyiel, has spent most of its energy and lost Its propulsive force. A dispatch from the front states that Hindcnburg and Ludendorff aro 'hesitating and that the battle is in its quietest day. The general situation at the moment, as described by Router's . correspondent at British head- , quarters, is that the main move ment of fresh enemy troops ni others that are moderately fresh continues to be towatd the zone be tween tlie Somme and Montdidier.
