F. rortion of the French trenches in the
Civenchy woods 1t was on this sec
lion or the front that the French made
their great gain III the drive of las'
month.
Heavy forces were employed by the
Germans and every "ital point on the
line was attacked The trenches cap
tured were literally plowed up by the
shell fire from the heavy guns.
With the exception of these torn
up trenches, the Paris official state
ment says the French line held every.
where.
The German attacks were center
ed in the Hache wood, east Of th'
Souchez-Angres road, at the cor
ners" of the five roads in lmy ridge
and against Il small fort which tn.
French had captured from the Ger
mans. in the Givenchy wood.
The attack was preceded by bonn
bardment of exceptional violence, ant

after another, with heavy massed
French trenches, and the Germans
werc only hurled back at the point OF
-ahc bapnnet, after French machine
guns and head grenades had caused
exceptionally heavy losses in the on.
rushing ranks.
Aerial raids were carried out on an
extensive scale by the French corps
during the day. Eighteen machines
bombarded the railway yard at Achiet

According to information from the

GUARANTEES SOCIALISTS
Demand after WAR over

Berlin, Via London, April 21.-
The "Vorwaerts announces that at a
conference of German and Austrian So
cialists held in Vienna it was agreed
that the following guarantees must be
secured after the war:
Internal arbitration courts must be
developed into obligatory tribunals for
settling all differences between nations.
All treaties and agreements of states
must be subjected to the Democratic
parliamentary control of representative
assemblies
International treaties for limitation
of ornaments must be agreed upon
with view to disarmament.
The rights of every nation to deter
mine its own destiny must be recog-
nized.
The fact that Socialists of belhger-
ent states are defending their country
in war must not be made barrier to
maintaining the international relation
ships of all Socialist parties or to ac-
tivity in their International arrange
ments.

SUFFERS IN Lack OF Grain

/. Berlin, Via London, April 21.-Ern.
est Bicknell, of the Rockefeller Foun.
dation, and Elliott Wadsworth. of Bos.
ton, in charge of American relief work
in Poland, are now working on the
problem of securing sufficient grain for
their task. They expect shortly to Wis.
1T other European countries in search
for grain. A supply of maize is avail.
able, but it is doubtful whether the
people in the stricken districts could be
taught to ca! it.
The German and Austrian govern
ments have pledged 100000 monthly
for the relief work, of which Austria
will give one-third. Mr.. Bicknell SAYS
this is the minimum with which the
work can be started. Germany and
Austria have pledged themselves to
requisition neither foodstuffs nor mon
ey in Poland
Mr. Wadsworth and j. G. Gibson, of
the Belgian Relief Commission. will 90
to Poland to study the situation and
organize the relief work. Americans
will be placed in charge of separate dis
tricts, with committees to aid them. A
large force will be required. The
Rockefeller Foundation will pay the ex-
penses of the organization and for the
maintenance of the staff The rest of
the money must be covered by dona-
tions from other sources, mainly from
the United States. The amount re.
quired, even with the contributions of
Germany and Austria, will be large.
The commencement of the relief meas.
ures only awaits the securing of sup
ply of grain.

to have commission appointed to con

ments now located there. Senator
Farley has issued the following state
ment:
cit is my intention to present a
joint resolution for the appointment by
the Governor of a commission to CON
slider plans for the erection of a State
administration building in Philadelphia.
The commission will serve without paw.
and there will be no provision for ex.
penses. | have no doubt, if the resolu.
tion is approved. that the Governor
Will appoint citizens of high standing,
who will assure the public that build.
ing OF moderate cost, and one that will
be free from the slightest taint of
graft, will be constructed. Ny person
al preference is that the building be
located on the Parkway, and have no
doubt that the commission will give
consideration to a site along the Boule-
ward.
At the present time the various
branches of the State government are
scattered about the city, and they
could well be placed under one build
ing, owned by the State. The Board
of Education has concluded that it
would pay to erect an administration
building, instead Of spending huge
sums on rentals, and the State should
do likewise. The Supreme and Supe-
rior Courts are now housed In the City
