Allies to outfsnk him.
The French. who yesterday officially re-
ported that all the German attacks in
this region had been rcpulsed and that
the Allies had resumed the offensive, fol.
lowed this to-day by the announcement
that while 20 the north Of the Disc
the battle, which began seriously about
September %. continues with great vio-
lence. no decisive result has been
reached, and that AT certain points the
French troops had to yield ground.
The Germans. in their report, issued
last night. say that the battle is pro-
cceding successfully for them.
Fighting Hard in West.

was issued by the French War Office
tonight:

Both here and in London there is
the greatest confidence, although some
surprise is displayed at the success OF
the Germans in preventing the out

that the Germans cannot extend their
line much further north without
weakening it at some point.

HAWAIIAN PRINCE:
LIKES BASEBALL

San Francisco, March 21.-Prinoe
was with the Chicago White Sox at
Paso Robes and has become a major
league baseball fan. The prince is a
remarkable character. The fact that
he is interested in baseball makes him
an object of interest in~the. sport-lov-
ing world, but that is only a sidelight
on his character. He loves all kinds
of sport and it would be difficult to
bump into a more splendid sportsman.
The prince is douhly interesting to
Americans. for he has been q. delegate
to the congress OF the United States
for twelve years. and despite the dem
ocratic landslide. expects to be return
ed as L republican.
Followed White Sex in Camp.
Long before this Hawaiian prince
met the White Sox at Paso Robes he
was a baseball fan, for the simple rea-
son, he says, that there is more base
ball to the block in Honolulu than any
other city of its size in the world.
Hawaiians are q s~port-loving people,

IS TOUGH PROPOSITION

wearing a radient smile and a purplish
eye, returned this morning from
Moorhead, where he passed a knock
out to Leo Kossick in the second round
aIter thrice putting him down for the
count Of nine night before last.
The left arm, which I broke ten
months ago, proved all right in my
mill with Kossick," said Safro. "That
means even more to me than putting
Leo off his feet and down for the
count. Now that I know my arm is
as good as ever, I'm anxious to make
a date with other 145 -pound men.
Jack Nemezk. promoter of the
contest. had things well arranged
and the treatment L received from the
crowd was all a fellow could ask.
"Kossick is q tougher proposition
than a .second-round4 knockout would
indicate. I know, for I'VE. been in
two 16-Tound draws with him before
and he went twelve rounds with
Freddie Welsh to a draw a short time
ago" ~"
