BELIEVED TO BE FoRERUNNER
TO BIG EFFORT TO BREAK
THROUGH ALLIES LINES.
BELGIUM SEALED UP TIGHT
To Cut OFF Observations Of Neutrals
While Reinforcements from Ger.
many Arrive-Canadians Get
Brunt of German Attacks.

London, April 25.-The German
rushes in Flanders and Woevre, where
they claim to have had considerable
success, are believed to be the fore
runners of another big effort to break
through the allied lines in the west
For many days Belgium has been
sealed from the observation of neu.
trale while reenforcements from Ger
many were being moved to the south
to take part in the new offensive, that
they hope is to carry them to Calais,
and possibly break the resistance of
the allies.
Canadians Bear Attack.
The attack in Flanders, originally
leveled at the French, has been trans
ferred to the British lines held by the
Canadians, on the immediate right of
the French, and here for two days the
men from the dominion have been en-
gagged in a deadly contest with the
Germans. The latter state in their
official report that they have made
further progress toward Ypres and
that the British counter attack has
been repulsed.
The French account, on the other
hand, declares that the allies counter
attacks continue with success and
that the British hold all their positions
and repeats the charge that the Ger.
mans are using bombs containing as
phyxiating gases.
The Frankfurter Zeitung justifies
the use of these missiles on the ground
that the allies have done likewise.
Deadly Work of British Mines.
Trenches, parapets and sandbags
disappeared" says the British official
"eye witness" in describing the ef
feet of the explosions of the British
mines which preceded the recent at
tacks and capture by the British OF
Hill No. 60, to the southeast Of Ypres.
"The whole surface of the ground
the narrative continues, assumed
strange shapes. Here it was torn into
huge craters, there large mounds OF
fallen debris were to be seen.
"As the reports Of the explosions
died away and while dense columns OF
smoke and dust hung in the air our
men sprang from the trenches and
rushed across the intervening space OF
some 40 to so yards lying between our
line and the gaping craters before
them, the front covered by the attack
being only some ESQ yards in length

and fire at sea yesterday, arrived here early today. The men were taken to the Naval hospital, where it was an- nounced that although they were severly burned about the head, face and body it was expected that they would recover. The men are George TTutillo, a first class fireman, of Jemes, N. M., and Thomas Shea, water tender, of Patterson, N J. The destroyer was only slightly damaged. It was arranged that an investigation into the cause of the accident should he begun today. The two men were in the fireroom when the explosion oc- cured in a quantity of fuel oil. A sheet of flame shot out. In response to these mems cries, other members Of the crew rushed into the fire room, pulled them out and rendered first aid by wrapping them in blankets and ap- plying oil to their burns. The fire was quickly subdued.
 In view of the serious condition of the two men, Lieutenant J. C. Ere mont, in command of the destroyed, ordered the vessel to put back at full speed to this port, which she had left Monday to assist in the operations of the attacking fleet in the naval war
 
 game.
 The Cummings at the time of the explosion was about 500 miles out. Although the weather was thick, she raced back to Newport at speed of twenty-five knots an hour.
 The fleet of battleships which came into Narragansett Bay yesterday in tho course of their operations as part of the defending fleet in the war game put to sea again during the night. They were the battleships Ar kansas, Virginia, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Jersey and Rhode Island, and the destroyers Monaghan. Roe, Perry and Wake. It was understood that the Arkansas, which was reported last night as having had engine trouble would be taken to the New York navy yard for repairs.

officers of the Arabic according to which the Arabic did not intend to ram the submarine. The attack of the submarine was undertaken against the instructions issued to the com mander. The imperial government re- grets and disavows this act and has notified Commander Cchneider accord ingly.
 "Under these circumstances my gov- ernment is prepared to pay an in- demnity for American lives which to it's deep regret have been lost on the Arabic. I am authorized to ne- gotiate with you about the amount of this indemnity.
 II remain, my dear Lansing.
 "Yours very sincerely,
 q. von Bernstorff.'
 The promptness with which Count von Bernstorf altered the original draft of the letter demonstrated that he had been empowered to negotiate a complete settlement of the case, and it was assumed that he naturally did not finally accede until the Amer ican government made known it's un- alterable determination not to relin- quish any of it's demands.
 LdlkSIuS
 Secretary Lansing made no com ment on the ambassadors letter ex- cept to remark that it spoke for it. self. He was very much pleased over the conclusion of the case, be- cause since the sinking of the Arabic he inaugurated the idea of personal negotiations in Washington. This method of exchanging views was wei comed by Count von Bernstorff, also, particularly as he has had no means of direct communication with his gov ernment. To this lack of communi- cation has been attributed much of the ill-feeling that characterized the earlier stages of the submarine con- troversy.
 Satisfaction Everywhere.
 Yesterdays events spread satisfac- tion everywhere, not only at the White House and state department, but the German embassy as we'll. The recent critical stage of the negotiations which threatened rupture of diplomat ic relations had raised to the keenest point the tension at the embassy
 His excellency is contented." Was the comment that ran from the DOT ter's lodge to the chancery when the ambassador returned with the an- nouncement that the United States government was satisfied The smiling faces of the embassy's personel, busy preparing for the return of the staff from summer quarters fortnight hence, reflected the spirit displayed by their chief.
 'It is a diplomatic victory for the United States" the ambassador re- marked to a friend, "but credit must be given to Germany. I believe, for nobly accepting the word of the Brit ish officers that they did not intend to ram the submarine"
 This point, it was learned, at one time threatened to interrupt the pro- ceeding as the German government at first wished to arbitrate the conflict ing evidence.
