Western theater Of war:
Yesterday afternoon. when we had re-
pulsed the French near Angres and
taken a number of prisoners, they
began a counter attack with strong
forces along the Bethune-Souchez
road, but were everywhere beaten
off with heavy losses.
During the night. unobserved by the
enemy. we withdrew to the line in
the immediate rear weak forces
which had been occupying the east
ern portion of Ablain, whose con-
tinuance in the advanced position
there would only have cost useless
bloodshed.
South of Souchez the French last night
attempted an attack, but it was de-
feated at the outset.
Castle lie Careful, mentioned by the
French as having been taken by
them, and which lies to the south
west of Souchez, has been and is in
our possession.
Southeast of Neuville we easily defeat
ed an attack prepared by the
French and carried out by hand

In the forest of LIE Pretre, northeast
of Pont -Mousson, the French the
evening of the 9th appeared to have
prepared a great attack, but our fire
kept them down. Enemy attacks by
night at various points We're re-
pulsed with large losses.

BATTLE FOUGHT 5000 FEET IN AIR
RESULTS FATALLY TO GERMANS

THE Germans tried to escape by Drop

parently one OF them was wounded. Sud
denly my lieutenant got in volley at
point blank range and the Albatross tipped

feet to the earth. We followed them with
our eyes. When the machine struck the
earth it seemed to crumple into a ball and
bounded along the hillside like wounded
rabbit running.

These have been happy days Cor me.

tions presented to this conference,
cannot help but feel that its signif-
canoe Is far deeper than the questions
included in the program. 1t is an in
spring spectacle that may well arouse
the enthusiasm Of every patriotic citi-
zen to realize that at time when
hatreds and antagonisms are dominating
so great part Of the old world the
republics of America assemble in a
spirit of mutual helpfulness to take
counsel of one another, and to devise
ways and means through which they
can promote the spirit Of union and
cooperation.
Viewed from the broadest possible
standpoint, it means that the great
mission of the republics of the Amer

tion. We may well rejoice at this
great privilege of giving to the world.
at critical moment, an example of in
ternational solidarity. A new note has
been struck in International relations
which cannot help but resound through
out the civilized world
Il am free to confess that my en-
thusiasm is not aroused by the mere
thought of heionging to a country cover
ing vast area or containing one hun
dred or two hundred millions OF in
habitants, but it is my ambition that
the country to which l belong shall be
a leader in setting a new standard in
international relations. and will give
to the world a new idea, namely, that
its own welfare. its own greatness, its
significance in the onward march OF
civilization depend on and are in direct
ratio with the service which it is able
to perform to other nations, and par
ticularly to its sister republics on the
American continent
Important and far reaching as is
the significance Of this conference, its
full and final import can only be judged
IN that larger perspective in which
loom up the successive steps toward
the goal of pan-American solidarity"
