BATTLE FRONT 100 MILES
100000 Said to Be Engaged in Con-
fIict Which Has Ragged for Days.
Situation is Critical.

London.-The right wing Of the Ger
man army mas been turned by French
troops under Gen. Joffre, according to
unofficial dispatches received here. It
is stated, however, that both French
and German armies are in critical po-
s%itions, in which defeat would be abb
solute disaster. The conflict extends
over an irregular line 100 miles from
east to west and so miles from north
to south.
The retreat of the Germans from
Lille is declared to be due to their
fear Of attack from an army of Brit
ish and Russian forces believed to
have been landed at a port on the Eng
lish channel.
The troops engaged number more
than 100000 the Germans having L.
100000 soldiers in France. The forces
of the allies, now reinforced, are be-
lieved to be equal in numbers to the
invaders.
The news contained in the French
official communication that the Ger
mans had fallen back before the Wig
orous advance by the allied troops on
the line from NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to
Verdun indicates that the Anglo
French forces have got on the flank
OF the German right wing, which pass
ed by Paris north, and was marching
eastward to join with the crown
princes army coming south.
A Boulogne dispatch to the Evening
News says a telegram has been re-
ceiyed from Gen. Pau announcing "a
victory by the allied forces at Precy
sur Disc. The imperial guard under
Crown Prince Frederick William is re-
ported to have been annihilated by the
British force which opposed them.

ALLIES IN STUBBORN MOOD
All Northern Forts Of France, With
Exception Of Maubeuge, Claimed
by the Germans.

Partisan official communication
was issued here announcing that three
forts had fallen at Ma~ubeuge, a for.
tress of the first class in Nord.
A further official statement says:
THE press bureau at Bordeaux tel
egraphed to the military governor Of
Paris:
"First-The respective situations of
the German and French armies on the
left wing have not undergone any in
teresting change. The enveloping
movement Of the enemy has been def
initely checked.
Second 49, The situation is un-
changed in the center and on the right
in Lorraine and the Vosges.
AT Paris, from which the enemy's
armies are going farther away, the de.
fensive works are proceeding actively.
AT Maubeuge the bombardment
continues with extreme violence. The
city resists despite the destruction of
three forts"
The following communication was
issued by the governor OF Paris:
THE German army continues to
move farther away from Paris toward
the southeast.
According to information, the enc.
my's troops have evacuated the re-
gion of C%ompiegne and senlis."
Military critics Of most Of the
French papers, whose hypothesis are
without official support, agree that
the Germans found the entrenched
camp Of the allies around Paris too
strong and suddenly interrupted their
offensive tactics to find a weak spot.

GERMAN ARMY RETREATING

ing Against Forces of kaiser-Em-
peror William Supposed to Be
With Army of Prince.

London.-The great and all conquer
ing imperial German army Of las
week is sorely beset retiring army now
Tactics. have changed, defenders be
ON offenders. Allied retreats have
been turned into an allied advance. Al
this distance a few bold facts stand
out clearly enough to permit a com
plete reconstruction of the line Of
battle.
What has happened appears to be
that the allies, greatly strengthened
by a rest and reinforcements, have
been watchfully waiting, while the
! great German arm, like some unwieldy
giant, has Unanswered away around
to the east of Paris, having apparent
ly as an objective the complete per-
manent separation of the army of the
east from the army of the north, SO
they could destroy each piecemeal. But
while that has been in progress, the
allies have been preparing for a light
ming change with tremendous energy.
Time and distance appear to have been
annihilated.
Official reports indicate successful
movements, at least for the time be-
ing, by the allied armies against the
Germans. London reports that the
British have pushed the opposing
forces back ten miles and that the al
lies are gaining ground on the line of
the Ourcq and Petit NORM rivers.
Wounded soldiers who have reached
Paris tell of the severity of the fight
ing in the champagne country, and re-
port heavy losses.
With hundreds of thousands of men
engaged on both sides, the battle now
in full swing to the east of Paris prom
ises to be the most important of the
campaign up to the present.
3 In reply to a request by the Ger
mans for IN armistice of "a hours to
bury the dead and care for the wound
ed, the French authorities are report
to have sent this message: .
I'VE grant that time to get out of
France"
The Russian troops still are engaged
In fierce combats with the Austrians
In the Dawa district, Russian Poland.
Fighting is almost continuous and the
outcome in this region has not been
determined.
France announces that it is sending
reserves to Morocco to release regu-
lars now there for service with the
army in France.

Dago Frank" Far From
Scene of Killing at the
Time, it is Claimed.
ALL ARE TO DIE MONDAY
Final Effort Is Being Made by
Counsel of Doomed New York
ers to Stay Executions.

New York, April 10.-An affidavit
purporting to establish an alibi for
"Dago Frank" Ciroficia, note from
Frank Moss, former assistant district
attorney, attacking the credibility of
two witnesses at the trial of Charles
Becker and the gunner. and an alleg-
ed discrepancy in the decision of the
court of appeals which reversed Beck
er's conviction, were points about
which counsel for the gunmen doomed
to die Monday for the murder of Her
man Rosenthal, centered their fight
today. The affidavit, that of ''Binkie"
REQ. employe of a dance hall. who
swears he saw "Dago Frank far from
the scene of the murder about the time
it was committed, was rushed to Gov
ernor Glynn by special messenger.
The note written by Moss, concerning
two witnesses, Luban and Margolis,
was placed in the hands of c. G. Wahle,
the gunMen's chief counsel, today.
Supreme Court Last Resort.
1.-The Moss note," said Wahle, Shows
he did not believe Luban truthful, yet
he placed him on the stand as a wit
ness. We shall get this note from the
governor as soon as possible. If we
again fail to move the governor. we
will take the whole matter before some
justice of the supreme court

SCHOLARS COURT
TEACHERS; FIRED
Two Young Women Summarily
Dismissed by Board of Edu-
cation at Arcola, Ill.

Champaign, ILL.,, April 10.-Because
they are alleged to have accepted
attentions of young men who were
their pupils, MISS Helen Whitney OF
Chicago and Miss Mabel Smith of
Urbana, young teachers in the Ar
cola high school, were summarfly dis
missed by the board of education. The
town is in an uproar.
Refusing to accept the notice of
dismissal, the teachers presented
themselves at the school this week
on advice of their attorney. They
we're refused admittance. Both re-
fused to accept checks for back pay.
The question of whether to sustain
the board is to be voted on by resi-
dents at the coming school board cleo
ton The school board declares Miss
Whitney and Miss Smith were warn
ed of the Arcola code for teachers,
which is: No dancing; no joy-riding
in automobiles; no visiting home more
than monthly; no keeping company"
with pupils.
The teachers were dismissed by a
resolution declaring that the best in
terests of the school demanded that
they be dismissed and removed from
their positions.
Miss Smith is graduate of the
University of Illinois. She is
daughter of DR.. +. S. Smith. The
young women will sue for the fulfill
ment of their contract and also for
personal damages.
