DRIVE MAKES ARMY GREATER AGAINST FOE More Than Million Rally in Addition lo Those Now With Allies liomlon, April 2 4.—More than one million soldiers in addition to those Who would otherwise be in the lield against Germany, have been gained bv the Allies in consequence of the German offensive, Winston Spencer ( minister of munitions, yesterday in an address to the American labor delegation which is visiting Kngland. "So far as moral effects are con cerned," he said, "all that the Ger mans have achieved by the battle has been an increase in and closer consolidation of the forces lighting against them. By their attack they liave called Into the Held against them in this campaign alone more than one million soldiers additional to those who would otherwise have been there. "Under the pressure of this hard fought battle we have been able to draw front this country hundreds of thousands of men whom it would have been difficult to summon except tinder that pressure. Far more men have been called to the colors by the battle than have been lost in the bat tle. It was the same with America and the same with France, and it was exactly the same with the offen sive in Italy. "No preponderance of material advantage has been gained by the enemy for all the immense sacritlces he has been made to suffer." YOUR SICK CHILD IS CONSTIPATED! LOOK AT TONGUE Hurry, Mother!

This decision is a death blow to seditionists and preachers of disloy alty who have prated about "the in exorable right of ~*e speech" and ; vehemently protested that they can- I not be imprisoned unless there is j positive proof that the Government j has been harmed by their statements. | Judge Buffington waved aside such I contentions as "idle and flimsy" and pointed out that the espionage law cannot be held ineffective until some disguided member of the military forces commits an ofTense, either in this country or in France, as a re sult of seditious preachments. Aldx Cnmpiilgii Aicnlnut Propaganda The ruling of the Court is regard | ed as a strong supporting arm to the | Government in its campaign to rid . the country of pro-German propa ganda and the preachings of Social ists and pacifists against the war. Federal authorities have complained that they are handicapped by inade quate laws, and some court decisions that "mere words" do not constitute a violation of the espionage law, but the Appellate Court opinion by Judge Buffington removes many of these I obstacles and widens the range of | power of the prosecuting officers to arrest persons for preachings against | the Government. | All that the Government need prove, according to Judge Buffing ton's opinion, is that a person made I seditious or disloyal statements with | intent to interfere with its war I plans, and a conviction for violating the espionage law will be sustained, even if the Government has suffered no harm.

NAVAL RAID SEEN AS START OF MOVE TO BLOCK U-BOATS Officials at Washington Have Long Believed Submarines Could Be Bottled Up Washington, April 24. American naval officers await eagerly the full story of the successful French-Brit ish naval blow against the German destroyer and U-boat bases on the Belgian coast. The impression pre vails here, supported by certain facts regarding American naval prepara tions, that a carefully-planned na val offensive against the U-boats has begun, which is to be pressed vigor ously until the underwater raiders are bottled up or checked to such an extent that their operations will no longer be a serious factor. There is nothing to indicate that the Navy Department had any ad vance information as to the opera tions at Zeebrugge and Ostend. It' is known, however, that officials here have been anticipating developments in the antisubmarine warfare with in the next few weeks that would es tablish a definite check on the Ü boats. American co-operation in this effort is being extended in various ways which cannot be disclosed. It has long been the belief of many officers here that much could be done toward bottling up the Ü boats at their source—their bases on the Belgan coast.

It was suggested yes terday that the recent raid against trawlers by British ships was a part of the general plan for aggressive ac tion. The German light craft were engaged in mine sweeping. Opinion among naval experts is divided as to the efficacy of the effort of the Allied naval forces. RONALD M. HARVIE DIES IN HOSPITAL Ronald M.

The object of this entertainment is to secure funds for some athletic equipment. Camp Cody, at Gettys burg, has no Y. At. C. A. liut or any other means of recreation, and these men, who are rated as the best trained "tankers" in the whole coun try. need to keep in perfect training.

Sergeant Bowman carries a small American (lag, given him by his [mother when he left the country. It was carried on his ambulance through several hundred battles, and is torn by shot and shell. He will explain the methods of bringing in and caring for the wounded. Sergeant Bowman will explain in detail how the ambu lance men go out during the thick of the fray to pick up the wounded and hurry them back to where "the drip ping surgeons wait." and then hasten to return for another load of suffer ing soldiers.
