Food Compelled Cermans to Retreat.: .From a staff correspondent of The Associated Press at the French front um France, Sunday, March 18, via Paris, Mar.19\u2014The French troops made one of the most significant advances since the beginning of the war yesterday and today.Along a six ty kilometre front some hundreds ot square \u2018 kilometres re-fell into the hands of the French, while the Germans retreat movement gave no evi- dentes of coming to a halt.This immense tract of reconquered territory was traversed today by a correspondent for The Associated Press who found the inhabitants in many placez where they were allowed tor remain by the Germans tearfully joyous at the re-appearance of their fellow countrymen coming in as victors.Signs of a hasty German departure are visible everywhere and especially in the villages and towns in the shape of houses blown to fragments by the explosion of incendiary bombs.In the distance burning villages showed that the retreat was still progressing.Here and there were a few corpses of German soldiers, who evidently had been killed while acting as rearguards.Former German positions sre just heaps of scattered wire entanglements and the trenches are balf filled with water.Supply colurens sre proceeding in every direction following the French pursuing troops which keep close on the heels of the retreating Germans, not allowing them a moments respite.The Associated Press correspond ent entered the area reconquered at Lassigny which suffered badly.not a Louse escaping damage and none of the inhabitants being left behind.Passing through various succeeding nes of former German entrench- ents were many still bearing directions of officials written in German.\u2018The joy of the inhabitants at the almost incredible sight of French soldiers entering a town within an hour sfter the Germans departed on Saturday afternoon was extraordinary, every passing Frenchman or ally be- mg embraced.The correspondent woke with many women who declar- of that they owed their own Lives as well those of their children to Amerean relief in the occupied territory.At Malmaison farm the Germans evidently opposed with some: considerable resistance the French advance.the ground about being pierced with @hell holes like a sieve.Further elong in the villages of Candor and Lagny many women and children still remained, the rapid retirement not permitting the Germans ta carry som off with the mayor, the assist.snt mayor, and other officials.They ssserted that everything they grew : w their gardens was requisitioned by the Germans and the sole means o?sustaining life was the food distributed by the Aunericans.Livery month the mayors or other village function- ries were called together where the American representative gave out .upplies and iife was sustained simply ty this means.+ At Candor nearly two hundred wo-: men and chitdren were left in German hands at the heginning of the war.The voung men and girls were all carried off to Germany, their parts even now being ignorant of their wherexhouts.Those remaininæ were compelled to do all kinds of work withou: payment and when for relie- fons reasons they refused to work or Sunday they were fined.Fven hoys aver thirteen years of age assert that \u2018hey were driven often under fire to Aig ditches or small trenches for military telephone wires.All schools had heen closed since the Germar cenpation.The inhabitants assert hat the German soldiers told them weeks \u201cago that they were about tn treat as they were not able to withstand

CASE.Washington Officials State President Considering Ques- _ tion in Usual Deliberate Way \u2014 Washington, March 10 \u2014 President Wilson is expected within the rext forty-eight hours to indicate definite- In that he believes a virtusl state of war exists between the United States and Germany.News received from Plymouth that fifteen men, some of them Americans, had been drawned when the Ameri can merchantman Vigilancia was sunk without warning by a German eub- marine, added, if possible, to the already grave view of the situation held here as a result of the destruction of the Vigilancia, the Illinois and the City of Memphis.Whether the President will hasten the extra session of Congress already calied for April 16th, or will take additional steps to protect American commerce without this move was not disclosed tonight.No official pretended to know his plans, and the general view was that ke was still considering the question in his usual deliberate way.: A Cabinet meeting probably will he held tomorrow afterncon, and at that time the situation arising rut of the new acts of aggression on the part of Germany is expected to br thoroughly canvassed.In addition to a conference with Secretary of the Navy Daniels, the President saw Secretaries Lansing and McAdoo, and William Denmanchairman of the Federal Shipping Board and there were every indication that he was mapping out om- prehensive plans for the protection of American interests in any eventuality.It is virtually conceded that already a virtual state of war exists with Germany in spite of the technical armed neutrality status of the United States.A suggetsion advanced tonight was that the President might issue a call for Congress to meet within ten days, and in his proclamation point out the new situation facing the nation since he asked for authority to establish a state of armed neutrality.* Preparation for aggressive action by the navy against the German submarine menace began today at the direction of the President.President Wilson authorized the expenditure of the $115,000,000 emergency fund, provided by Congresa to speed up naval construction and pay for special additional war crait, and the suspension of the eight hour labor law in plants on navy work.Immediately afterward Secretary Daniels ordered the New York navy yard to begin building sixty submarine chasers of the 110 fuot type, to be completed in from sixty to eighty days.While the energies of the navy will be concentrated for the present on efforts to get into commission craft designed particularly to destroy submarines and guard the coast, warships building generally will be speeded up under the recent agreement with private builders and wich the funds now made availsbel.A large number of privately owned motor craft availabel for navy use may be drawn wpon at any time: Retired naval officers have been at work along the entire Atlantic coast surveying boats for a month, Contracts have been made for their purchase and- a telegraphic order will make them government property overnight.Volunteer crews for the boats have been enrolled among yatchsmen and others along the coasts, Commanders of naval districts are ready to call them out and begin patrol work with virtually no delay.Navy officisls estimate that within four months a flest of 2,000 patrols and chasers will be ready for action.It is planned to assemble the volunteers within a few days to hegin actual operations as 3 matter of training pending orders from the President for complete mobilization of the navy, In this connection, officials say i is planned to establish 8 submarine proof patrol off the American coast, insuring safe passage to and from ths American ports for all ships.Since the visit of the German subamrine U-88 to Newport last surimer made it clear that the underwater craft could operate across the Atlantic, it Is believed necessary to provide for protection of American harbors in the event of war, Informal negotiations will be starts ed for a working agreement with the British and French patrol squadrore now endeavoring to protect the ships passing throngh the German submare ine zone, It planned to make American waters safe against oubmarin for all ships with the understand 1 that American ships will receive fu protection in the zones from patrols of the Allies, The plan would necessitate the interchange of information as to the routing of merchant craft to and fro across the At WILL MOBILIZE QUEBEC REGIMENTS ¢TH AND 9TH BATTALIONS INCLUDED IN MILITIA REORGANIZATION PLAN.Ottawa, March
