Breathing Spell Settles On Both Big Battle Fronts
London reports indicate British infantry broke the lull on the Flanders front with attacks in Givenchy Festubert and along the Scarpe while Italian troops prepare to join the western front. German assaults cost 250000 men at Kemmel ridge as rains and fog hamper operations and the second phase of the grand offensive winds down.

In Washington on April 20 opposition to the Chamberlain bill declaring the United States a military zone and authorizing firing squads for spies and disloyalists drew strong protest in Congress. Critics call it un constitutional and a step toward Prussianism while supporters argue it is needed to curb espionage and treason at home. Senator Borah leads opposition while Senator Chamberlain pushes for a Senate vote.
