KRON PRNz WILHELM
WILL NOT MAKE DASH
SAYS HER CAP TAIN
COMMANDER REPORTS THAT He
WILL INTERN HER DURING
REMAINDER OF WAR.
ILLNESS OF CREW IS REASON
Had Several More Days in Which to
Repair Ship, But Commander Sends
Message to War Department Of His
Intention to Remain.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, April 81
The. German commerce destroyer
Kron Prinz Wilhelm will be interned
for the war in American waters at the
request of her commander, Lieut..
Capt. Thierfelder. Notice of his in
tentions will be given by the German
officer to Collector of Customs Hamil-
ton late today in this message:
Herewith / have to officially in
form you that intern"
Commander Thierfelder later am
plifled verbally this message by say
ing it had been his intention to at
tempt the dash for sea past the allied
warships OFF the Virginia capes, but
that the continued illness of more
than sixty members of his crew would
make that move impossible before the
expiration of the time limit set for his
departure from this neutral haven.
1t was understood that the Washing
ton government had allowed the COM
mander until midnight April 30 to re-
pair his ship and put to sea.
The commander told the collector
that his surgeons had informed him
today there was no prospect for the
early recovery Of the sailors who are
suffering with beriberi, and added
that his ship could not be properly
manned with so many of her crew in
eapacitated.
The United States will maintain a
naval and military patrol around the
Wilhelm until she is taken to the Nor
folk navy yard, there to be laid up
near the Prinz Eitel Friedrich, an
other German sea rover, which was
fnterned nearly month ago. 1t is
said the vessel probably would not be
moved to the navy yard before We'd
nesday.
Commander Thierfelder's notice to
Collector Hamilton came unexpected
~. Early in the day the Wilhelm,
which had been anchored in the har-
Dor since leaving the ship yard last
week, was towed to coal pier and
began loading several tons of coal.

DRIVE Of GERMANS
AGAINST ALLIES At
yPRES OADIMIAISHEO
GENERAL OFFENSIVE AGAINST
THE ALLIED LINES ALL ALONG
THE COAST.
UNPARALLELED IN ITS FURl
oVershadows Completely Renewed
Attack That Has Been Made by the
Allies Upon Observation-Disclosures
of Its Meaning.

LONDON, April 27.-The tremen-
dous battle begun by the German at
tack on the allied arc-like front
around Ypres in the plains of Elan
ders, continues with undiminished flu
ry. and England, like the rest of Eu-
rope. is awaiting the outcome with
undisguised anxiety.
Even the news that the allied feet
and the army have commenced an at
tack on the Dardanelles and that the
troops are advancing against Turkish
entertainments, has received only
passing attention in the face of the
stakes that are in the balance in the
battle which is being fought beyond
the English channel.
While most persons believe the
Germans, by the stroke they have de-
liyered against the British, French
and Belgians, once again are aiming
at Dunkirk and Calais, others believe
that it is only feint to draw the al
lies reserves, while preparations are
being made for an attack at some
other point in the long line.
Whatever are the Germans inten-
tions, they certainly made success
full coup, which, while it did not
break, did dent the allies line. The
Canadians, who were holding the
British position Of the lines, were the
first to recover themselves and, in
counter-attack- prafses of which are
ringing throughout the empire-re-
captured the ground they had been
compelled to give up, and since then,
with their comrades, have withstood
the German assaults.
The French and Belgians, who re-
ceived the blast in fuller force and
we're driven back across the canal be-
tweenBoesinghe and Steen straate,
were not much slower in recovering,
and, according to the French official
reports, regained possession Of the
canal banks and much of the surren
dered territory to the east.
There is no inclination here, how
ever, to belittle the initial success OF
the German sweep and the work that
is ahead of the allied armies before
the situation can be fully restored.
A writer in the Pail Mall Gazette
describes it as mastery tactical
counter stroke" and declares that IF
the Germans have waited long to take
their revenge for Neuve Chappelle
they have taken it now" By getting
across the canal, it is pointed out, the
Germans gained for the moment com
mand of the new roads, and if they
had not been driven back would have
forced re-adjustment of the whole
allied line in the region Of Ypres.

1t will be of interest to many stu

of the Confederate army in North
Carolina. Fifty years ago today, the
remnants of the army were being pa

and Johnston was caught between the
armies of Grant and Sherman. Sur

to him.

A BIG TAXPAYER
What the Southern Pacific is
Doing in Nevada.

During the last six years the
Southern Pacific company has han
died over four hundred million pass
engers. OF This vast number there
has been but one passengers life lost
by accident. The single loss OF life
occurred on mixed train operated
on branch line. There is no better
railroad in the world than the Sou
thern Pacific This means much to
Nevada, us dependable railroad ser
vice adds to the value of all Other
property.
The Southern Pacific company is a
large taxpayer, over 81 600 every day
il the year is paid to Nevada for
taxes. Its proportion in maintain
ing the Nevada State University.
alone Is over forty thousand dollars
each year, and in addition, it grants
of its own accord, aud willingly, re
duced rates to every student or tea
cher of the university or public
schools.
When you get to the meat of the
question of good or bad times, in
Nevada,a great deal depends on how
much work the Southern Pacific
company is doing
Several years ago double tracking
was stopped. During the two years
p 'evious, the Southern Pacific Com
pany had paid out millions of dollars
for double track work in Nevada,
and for tie building of the Fernley
branch.
The pay roll of the Southern Pa
Gift at Sparks is over seventy thous-
aud dollars monthly. We hope it
will be greater. It's pay roll in Ne
vada IL over two and half million
dollars annually.
The Southern Pacific Company is
not owned by few individuals. 1t
is Owned by over 10, 600 men, women,
orphan children and estates In
round numbers there are over 43, 600
stockholders.

A BIG CUT OFF
The Aurora Con. Company
Building a New Road

The Aurora Con. Mines Company
has given Il contract To p J. Conway
OF Sweetwater to build wagon road
from Mud Springs to Aurora The
company agrees to LAY Conway 81
000 for this work, it to be completed
by July Is, 1918.
The new road will reduce the dis
tance from Mud Springs to Aurora
four miles, and will be the means of
bringing all freight for Aurora. Bo-
die and Mono Lake through Haw-
thorne. The Reeding Transporta-
tion CO., now hauling from Hudson,
is arranging To build garages and
freight depots at Thorne, and will
make its headquarters there.
While the Aurora Con. Co. has let
this road contract to Mr.. Conway. it
would be no more than just that the
county should share in the expense,
inaSmuch rs it will prove of great
benefit to teamsters and others en-
gaded in the trans portion business
Tie Aurora Con. Co pays each
year IS, 600 into the county treasury
in taxes, and before long they will
add to that sum ii substantial amount
in bullion tax. The company has
expended u large amount of money in
the sampling and development of the
Aurora mines, and has erected the
finest milling plant in this State, to
say nothing of having pulled Aurora
out of the slough of despond in which
it bias been plunged for 30 years,
Id view OF these iaats it is only
fair that the county should contri-
butte its mite to the betterment of a
road which means SO much for the
general welfare.
