LAWRENCE SPEECH

Lawrence, Mass, April 15-In de-
Tending large industrial corporations
from the attacks Of .so-called muck
rakers, DR.. Albert A. Snowden, indus
trial expert Of the National Associa-
ton Of Manufactures, told the manu-
facturers Of this city today, that the
development of manufacturing had
enabled the poorest, who is merely
provident, to have better food, cloth
ing and shelter than any Roman noble
or Saxon lord.
1T is not unlikely" he said, that
in future years the accepted history
of the period in which we live will
marvel at our failure to grasp the ex-
tent and Importance Of the service
performed for mankind by some of
our great field marshals in the indus
trial world. @
1.-THE modern Midases, who hold the
surplus, merely have so much excess
baggage to take care Of, so many
more cares, burdens and administra-
tive problems.

Britain acknowledged that British
cruisers had sunk the German cruiser
Dresden in Chilean territorial waters
and had offered an apology for the ac-
tion Of her squadron.
Claim Russian Progress
AS far as fighting is concerned. the
battles in the Carpathians and in the
Woevre are the only ones of any i'm
portance The Russians although now
faced by very much larger forces than
they were at the beginning of the battle
three months ago, are said to be continu-
ing their efforts to force the Austro-
German armies completely out of the
CarpathiaDs and open the way to Hum
gary. Having successfully taken the
western passes, they are bending their
energies on an attempt to capture the
Usok pass and the heights to the north
east of that break in the mountains.
Petrograd claims that the Russians
are making steady progress despite the
efforts of the Austro-Germans to out
flank them but the Austrfans insist
that the recent fighting has been in
their favor and that they have captured
another important height northwest of
Uzsok pass.
In the Woevre the French apparently
have revived their offensive and at sew
eral points claim to have added materi-
ally to the ground previously gained,
which would bring them step nearer
their main objective-the removal of
the German wedge which bends their
line back to St Mehiel.
In the Argonne. in Alsaice and in the
region of the Somme the French declare
they also have made progress, but this
is in direct contradiction of the Ber-
lin official report, which says that all
the French attacks were reDulsed.

CALL ZEPPELIN
RAIDER THE z-9

London, April 15.-6.10 p. M.).-The
shippers of the British trawlers who
sighted the Zeppelin airship which last
night raided the northeast coast of Eng
land describe her as the 10, one of the
very latest types Of German airship. The
trawlers sighted the craft 100 miles from
land. They believe she came from Hell
goland. If she returned to this island
the calculation is made that she must
have covered on her trial something like
500 miles
The trawlers came at full speed for
port Immediately after they recognized
the Zeppelin, with the object of giving
warki 1g, but of course they were easily
outHstanced by the airship.
