KAISER RESUMES
ATTEMPT REACH
ENGLISH CHANNEL
(Ey Associated Press.1

LONDON April 24-The newest bat
tie in Belgium today developed sud
denly into one of the most important
encounters in the West since the pres.
ent battle lines were formed.
Relentless German attacks are
meeting with determined resistance
by the Allies, the brunt of the heavy
fighting being thrown upon Britist reg
ular and territorial troops. 1t is APP
parent now that the Germans have
brought up heavy reinforeements from
the rear and the offensive movement
is believed to be another attempt up
on the part of the Teutons to break
through and obtain possession of a
Channel port.
The British war Office at 2:20 this
afternoon issued statement which as
serts the British troops are still fight
ing desperately in an endeayor to re-
cover ground they were compelled to
evacuate during yesterdays severa
fighting. The Canadian contingent
which retired short distance during
last night, inaugurated vigorous
counter attacks early today and the
struggle for possession of the disputed
territory has developed into some of
the most sanguipary fighting of the
war The Canadian troopers are said
to have already regained much of their
lost ground, though the enemy contin-
ues to rush men to the attack.
Submarines Busy Again.
German submarines are busy again,
o1e British frcighter and a Finnish
steamer having fallen victims to these
undersea hornets during the past "a
hours, while in the North Sea naviga-
tion is prohibited and the German high
seas fleet is cruising in waters here
tofore considered safe for British and
neutral shipping. This latter state
ment is based in reports sent out from
Berlin, which, however, are not con-
firmed by the British Admiralty. Trans
Channel shipping continued to be held
up throughout today.
The British freight steamer Ruth Fl.
has been sunk in the North Sea by
submarine, but members of the crew
are reported to have escaped safely,
and are being brought to an English
port on board a trawler. The Finnish
steamer Track was sunk last night by
a German submarine, the crew being
forced into small boats before their
vessel was sent to the bottom. :.

ly at work to that end to press our
claims to the limit. We have the roads
the actual goods, already; no prom
ises as to what we might do in road
construction. A level stretch of 225
miles, Macon to Thomasville, is al
ready a finished proposition and for
four years in daily use. No other high
way in the South can equal it.
The AndersonvilleT Thomasville
Highway via Americas is the logical
route and should prove easy win

trast to the grewsome descriptions was

ing which are the inevitable incidents
of modern warfare. A series of in
teresting motion pictures showing the
operation of big guns and the results
from exploding projectiles supplement
ed the talk, which was largely in
formal III character. Mr.. Cobb an
swered Il number of questions con-
cerning the conditions in Europe in an
interesting manner. In addition to d
series of humorous anecdotes. Mr.. Cobb
offered some very important sugges-
tionS on matters of national policy.
His observations We're particularly in
teresting because of the impartiality
of his attitude, his presence in Europe

ment current fiction with a thread of
humorous observation in connection
with current events abroad

prices. Some favor a reduction in the
size of the loaf while others advocate
an advance of / cent in the selling
price. Those who favor a smaller loaf

the size of the loaf is less. Other
bakers take the stand to reduce the

think it is better to continue to make
the regulation loaf and sell 1t for
cents instead of 5.
