Fighting still continues in the vicin-

that both sides have drawn on their

GERMAN CRUISER PRlNZ EITEL READY
TO MAKE DASH THROUGH ENEMY FLEET

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, April 6.-At
l o'clock this morning the German
auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich
still was at her pier. Officials were
in constant communication with
Washington, with the battleship Ala
bama, in Hampton Roads, and with the
Norfolk navy yard.
Whether the commander of the Ger
man cruiser would put to sea or SUBJ
NIT to internement still was unknown
at that hour.
Shortly before midnight tonight ev-
erything appeared to be in readiness
for the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich to leave the Newport
News ship yard.
Collector of Customs Hamilton, who
had visited the Eitel during the eve
ming, was given a jovial farewell by
the officers. The first officer invited
him to stay aboard, saying: II wish
you would remain and go with US"
Commander Thierichens, 1t was
learned, had hidden farewell to the
American government officials in his
visits today to the battleship Alabama
and to the customs house official. The
collector, in turn, wished the German
commander and his officers a bon voy-
age.
At II o'clock tonight Admiral Beatty.

emained at his office awaiting develop
ments. Attaches of the Offices were
keeping in touch with the German ship
as closely as possible That no one
knew exactly what were the plans of
the German commander seemed ap-
parent.
A newspaper boat, which steamed up
the river, the only point from which
the raider could be seen, was not pick
ed up by the German cruisers search
lights as had been the case on previ-
GUS occasions. Even the naval tug
Pautuxent did not flash her lights un-
til the dispatch boat had passed. On
board ship there appeared to be activ-
ity, but there were few lights, and
the ports were heavily curtained.
The Eitel had not moved from her
pier at 1880 o'clock this morning. Even
had she departed at that hour it would
have been impossible for her to make
the open sea before daybreak, as the
trip would require more than two hours
under the fastest steaming of which
the cruiser is capable.
1t was believed here virtually GER
tain at that hour the cruiser would
not Dash for the capes this morning

CONDITION Of
WINTER WHEAT
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
SAYS Vt is IN EXCELLENT
SHAPE EVERYWHERE.
RESPECTIVE CROP OF 6ls,ooo,ooo

\ WASHINGTON, April 7.-Winter
wheat came through the freezing
months in excellent shape, growing on
the greatest acreage ever planted in
the history Of the country. Prospects
for c record crop probably were
blighted by the unusually dry fall and
scattering evidences of the Hessian
fly, which caused the condition to be
only S8.3 per cent. of normal in
December.
! During the winter the general condi-
tion improved one-half of / per cent
as shown by the department OF agri-
cultures canvass. made April l, and
announced today. The, crop reporting
board, basing its estimate on the April
condition and the area planted last
| fall, placed the prospective crop pro-
duction at 619,000,000 bushels; that is
39,000,000 bushels more than was in
dicated by the condition at that time
in December.
| The production will be increased or
decreased, the board points out, by con-
ditions from April l to time of harvest
A steady improvement in the condi-
tion might bring forth crop closely
approaching last years production of
684 100000 bushels, which was a rec
ord. In Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Illinois and Missouri, the five leading
winter wheat producing states, and
which this year produced more than
SIS per cent. of the crop, the condition
greatly improved since December,
their average condition being 3.S per
cent. better on April l.

GERMAN v|EW0F
!. FRENCH ADVANCE

BERLIN, April 7.-(Via London,
11:45 p. m.)-German headquarters
has issued the following description
of the fighting in France between the
Rivers Meuse and Moselle:
when the enemy's infantry began
to deploy, the German outposts retreat
ed, according to a preparranged plan,
from Regnieville and Fay -en-Haye. to
their main position, on Easter Mon
day.
"The French attack against the south
front. at first to the north of Toul. and
then in the forest of LIE Pretre, began
sensationally with attacks against our
north wing to the south Of the Orne,
and between Eparges and Combres,
but the French nowhere We're success
full, they being everywhere thrown
back.
"The severest fighting took place
Fergus County Democrat. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-1919, 1915-04-08

between the Meuse and Apremont
where in the wooded country the
French were able to approach close to
the German positions, but were re-
ceived with an annihilating fire at
short range.
"The Germans served their guns
with tremendous effect, and in a short
time the French reserves We're in full
flight, while their rifle attack broke
down our infantry fire.
"On April 6 we observed the French
piling hundreds of dead in front of
their positions.
"The same day attacks by the
French in the forest of LIE Petre and
near Flirey failed. SO far the French
have only to record fresh failures on
the ground which has been the scene
of repeated struggles, but it seems
that their attacks are not yet at an
end "

KAISER PLEADS WITH EMPEROR T(
GRANT ITALY's DEMANDS

LONDON, April Sc a. m.)-The
Rotterdam correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says he has absolutely re-
liable authority for stating that the
German emperor himself recently
visited Emperor Francis Joseph at
Vienna to urge that Austria make ter.
ritorial concessions in order to secure
Italy's continued neutrality. The mis-.
sion, adds the correspondent, was un-
dertaken with the greatest secrecy, but
failed of its object, owing to Hungarian
opposition.
