TREAT SlSAL GROWERS UNFAIRLY

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The In
ternational Harvester company today
formally denied to Secretary Bryan
that it had sought advantages over
competitors in Yucatan in the pur.
chase Of sisal grasses ard disclaimed
knowledge Of charges made by the
Carranza government that one of it's
agents in the United States used the
name of the department to further its
interests.
On request of Luuis Cabrera, Cen
eral Carranza's secretary of the
treasury, the complaint was lodged
with the state department against the
methods said to be employed by Ave.
limo Montea, an agent in Yucatan of
the Harvester company. The COM
plant charged that Monies used the
name Of the state department to force
conditions in negotiations between
producers and consumers of sisal and
had attempted to pay for the fibre in
unrecognized money, issued by in
surgents.
George H. Ranney, representative
of the company, came to Washington
from Chicago today and conferred
with Secretary Bryan. Later Mr..
Bryan sent note to Charles A.

The attack in which Turkish SOL

to reports received by the board. was
made upon the American mission and
the French Roman Catholic mission.
Five native Russian priests, the re-

nent. Prince Won Buelow was in
Germany when Pope Benedict
was elected and has never seen
the pontiff. When he returned
to Rome it was az Germany's

LONDON WAR REVIEW,

LONDON, April 2S.--tlO D. m.)--
Our operations in conjunction with
the French have definitely stopped
the German attack"
In these words Field Marshal Sir
John French, chief in command of
the British forces on the continent,
announced the conclusion OF another
German attempt to break through the
allied lines around Ypres and along
the User canal, which brought about
one OF the most sanguinary battles OF
the war;
This. however. only brings to an
end the first phase of the battles, for
the allies have vet to win back the
ground which they lost in the great
German sweep. For this purpose they
now are delivering counter attacks
against the German lines. Only at
one place, Steenstraate, have the Ger
mans managed to keep their footing
on the western bank OF the canal
while to the north OF Ypres the po-
sitions remain as much as they were,
the allies making no claims to an
advance there, and the Germans re-
porting that all the British attacks
have been repulsed.
To hold these lines. the Germans
have brought up further reinforce
ments and Belgium, behind them, has
teen denuded of troops. The towns
and villages in Belgium are being
guarded by only a handful of sentries.
Fighting also continues in Cham
pagne, where the Germans make claim
