SAY GAS BOMBS
 ARE USED DAILY
 IN YPRES BATTLE

Paris, April 24-The asphyxiation bombs used by the Germans In their attack near Ypres on Thursday were thrown at numerous points along a front of three miles, according to i'm formation that has been brought to Paris. The contents of these mis- siles were largely chloride mixed with other chemicals. The Germans threw these bombs when the wind was blowing from them in the di- rection of the French trenches. The fumes caused discomfort in breathing and a snarting of the eyes at a dis tance of nearly two miles behind the trenches and they were so powerful that the Germans had to wait them selves a considerable time before they could occupy the evacuated trenches.
 During this delay the French troops recovered from the effects of the fumes, delivered a counter-aattack and regained most of the ground lost. The German supply of chloride bombs apparently was used up in their first advance and they gave way before the resolute bayonet attack of the French The bombs themselves are thrown by means of a. hand sling.

Adolph Meyerheim. the wagon driv- CT, living at 1765 Stratford avenue was descending Courtland hill in a south erly direction. His oLe-horse truck was well loaded with barrels of oil. Though he alleged that he had the right of way and mdtioned to the mo- torman that he could not stop his horse on the hill, he asserts that with. out warning the rnotor1nan threw on his power in an effort to pass by. The result was that the horse came head on into the car and rearing, up his head and feet was precip1tated into the car. the momentum of which car ried it by the horse for two windows before he again reared through the vesHbule windows A broken shaft end remained firmly inbedded in the car when 1t finally moved towards the barns in a damaged condition. The horse, cut about the right flank, left fet-Iock. nose and tongue was taken to Dr. w J. Southey's hospital for treat n1ent. Motorman Nos s915 and con ductor No. 3914 were in charge of the car.

BRITISH

London, April 24-The war ofice note:
 The fight for the ground into which the Germans penetrated be- tween Steenstraate and Langemetac still continues. The loss of this part of the line laid bare the left of the Canadian division which was forced to fall back in order to keep in touch with the right of the regular troops. Some hours later the Canadians made a most brilliant and successful ad- vance. recapturing the guns lost and taking a considerable of German prisoners, including a colonel.
 The Canadians had many casual ties but their gal1antry and determ4 ination undoubtedly saved the situa- tion- Their conduct has been mag nificent throughout"

 You've been well schooIed.'' said Attorney Klein.
 Referee Banks was then asked to consider the case of William Shaugh- tne last person to deposit in Burr & Knapp's before the firm failed Sep tenber 10 last! He deposited $500 about 10 a. m. and the bank closed a few minutes later. When he re- turned at 4 in the afternoon and de- manded his money he couldn't get it. He testified that a woman clerk money but said she couldn't give it to him unless he got an order from the receiver. Shaug ghnessy claimed two other depositor$ on that fatal morn ing returned and got their money.
 Mrs. Rahm said she couldn't explain it unless it was because Shaughnessy' s money, being the last, was placed on top of a pile in the drawer and was used to pay other claims.

Summary
 OF THE WarNews

A series of German successes all along the western front is an nounced in today's official report from Berlin. It is said attempts of the allies to recapture the ground lost in Belgium have failed and that French and Brit lish attacks broke down under the German fire. The statement re- ports the capture of another town near Ypres and says that in the lighting in the region nearly 2, ,50O prisoners, 35 pieces of cannon and large amounts of rifles and am intuition were captured. At other points where lighting occur red yesterday it is said the Ger mans either routed attacking forces or themselves made pro-
 The French war office report a different version of the situation in Belgium. From this state- nlent it would appear that the German advance had been halted The allies have captured part of the lost ground. it is said, and are well organized and fighting under good conditions. The advance of the Germans is ascribed by the French war offfce to the use of bombs developing gases which as- ephyxiated men in the trenches.
 The freighter Ruth has been sunk in the North sea by a Ger man submarine Her crew of IS were saved.
 The new battle in Belgium, which has developed suddenly in to one of the most important en- counters in the west since the present line was formed, is being carried on by a relentless German attack and determined resist anee on the part of the British. It is now apparent that the Ger mans have brought up heavy re- inforcenents for this attack and 1t is suggested in London that their immediate objective is the capture of Ypres, preliminary to another attempt to break through to the English channel.
 An official statement from the British war office today says that the British troops are still fight ing for the ground which they were compelled to yield to ehe Germans. The loss of these posi- tions exposed the Canadian divts- 5 ion, which was compelled to. fall hacks
 The Canadians lost four pieces of artillery but later recovered them in cOunter-attack which, although occasfoning heavy loss es, is described as successful.
 Berlin is elated at the German victory and newspapers there say that it eyens the score for the British capture of Neuve Chapelle last month
 The Finnish steamer Track has been sunk in the Baltic Sea by a German submarine. The crew is x believed to have been saved.
 Aviators of the allies operating over smyrna report that the Turks are defending the city with 35,00O troops, established in trenches. A German steamer was sunk and two men in a Turkish fort were killed by bombs drop ped from the aeroplanes.
 The sailing vessel Aysha, man ned by Germans who escaped when the famous cruiser Emden was sunk in the Indian Ocean last November. is said to have reach ed the Arabian harbor of Lfdd from Hodedish. The Germans made their way inland and suc- ceeded in reaching the railroad E although attacked by Arabs and suffered severe losses in three days of lighting.

HORSE ATTEMPTS TO CLIMB IN

Thr1sts Head Between Two Women Seated In Trolley Passengers Flee While Animal Wrecks Side of Vehicle, Struggling For Escape.

Passengers on an east-bound Sea view avenue car at Fairfield avenue and Courtland street this morning were greatly surprised and narrowly escaped serious injury as a horse be- longing to the Gulf Refining Go, crashed into the side of the car and began climbing through one of the windows near the rear vestibuIe In about a second both the interior and exterior of the car presented scenes of utmost confusion. Two large plate glass windows were broken and the horse. which was crazed by the pain of glass cuts and the prodding of a broken shaft. was thrown to the pave ment and restraiped from running away with the greatest difficulty. Two women seated on the side seat of the car. between whom the horse sudden 4y appeared were greatly unnerved by the incident though both refused to give their names to the. conductor and asserted that they had not been in 5ured by the shower of broken glass that descended upon them
