London, April 26.-Tremendous bat.
tie begun by the German attack on
the Allied arc life the front around
Ypres in the plains of Fiander con-
tinues with undiminished fury. Eng
land, like the remainder Of Europe. is
awaiting outcome with undisguised
anxiety. Even the news that the Al
lied feet and army have commenced
an attack on the Dardanelles and that
troops are advancing against Turk
ish entertainments which a;,feW' days
ago would have aroused immense en-
thusiasm, received only passing at
tention in the face of stakes in bal
ance being fought beyond the English
channel.
Aiming at Calais.
It is believed the Germans by the
strong blows they have delivered
against the British, French and Bel
gians are once again aiming at Dun
kirk and Calais. but others believe it
is only a feint in force to draw the
Allies and reserves while prepara-
tions are made for an attack at some
other point in the long line. What
ever the intentions the Germans GER
tainly made successful coop, nearly
breaking the Allies line. The Cana
dians were the first to recover them
selves. In counter attack they re-,
captured ground. The French and
Belgians, who received blast in
fuller force, were driven back across
the canal between Boesinghe and
Steenstraate, but were not much
slower in recovering and succeeded in
regaining possession Of the canal
banks. u 1. & Il ...,
Much Work Ahead.
There is no inclination here to be-
little the success of the German
sweep and the work that is before
the Allied armies before the situa-
ton can be fully restored. 1t was de.
scribed as "a mastery tactical coun-
ter stroke" and that III the Germans
waited long to take their revenge for
Nueve Chapel, they have taken it
now" !.
BY getting across the canal. the
Germans gained for a moment COM
mand of New Roads, and if they had
not been driven back would have
forced readjustment of the whole
Allied line. That there is no short
age of men and munitions was
shown by the fact that the Germans
at the same time were conducting an
offensive in the Heights of Meuse,
where they have made an effort to re-
capture Les Eparges.
Evolved New Movement.
Meanwhile the Austro-G Germans
have evolved new movement in the
Carpathians, attacking the Russians
in the neighborhood of Uzsok Pass.
The Austrians claim considerable sue
cess in the capture of additional
heights and prisoners.
A new attack on the Dardanelles is
being made by land, sea and air, but
official report says little beyond that
despite serious operations, troops
have been successfully landed at
various points on the Gallipoli PENN
sula.
Situation Critical.
The labor situation in the coal min
ing districts Of England has become
critical. The men demand immediate
national conference between the work
ers and employers regarding their de-
mand for straight twenty per cent
war bonus.
The government could not under
any circumstances allow even tenn
porary tie-up of work in the coal pro-
ducing sections as the production is
barely keeping up with the consump-
tion at present, and coal is essential,
not only for the army and navy, but
also for nearly all important manufac-
turies of war munitions. In Scotland
the men have given the required
three months notice of their inten-
ton to quit work unless their de-
mands are met.
Deny Paris Rumor.
Both the vatican and Prince Won
Buelow, the German ambassador to
Italy, deny the report printed in the
Paris Figaro thatevon Buelow had Wis
tied the pope tos bid the pontiff fare
well, believing his departure from
lone was imminent.
Won Buelow was in Germany when
Pope Benedict was elected and never
has seen the pontiff. When he re-
turned to Rome it was as Germany S
ambassador and accredited to king OF
Italy. Etiquette of the vatican since
the fall of temporal power has been
