All the Ally Wood, Strong Position of Germans, is Now Entirely in Hands of French After Several Days Fighting
ARTILLERY OPENS
 BIG BREACHES
Five Mines, Laid Under the Parapet Adjacent to Prin- cipal Forts, Explode, An initiating Garrison and Spreading Panic
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspArcHI

PARIS, April 22.-An official eye witness describing the operations by which the French are menacing the German positions in the wedge of St Mihiel says:
 "All the Ally wood, which cOnsti- tuted strong and well fortified sup port for the Germans, is now entirely in French hands, conquered for the most part by troops from the center of France, after several days of sys- tematic preparations by heavy fire from three inch and big guns and by aerIal torpeodes. At certain points the Germans had constructed in front of meats twelve yards wide. spiked barriers extending about six feet above the level of the earth, sur rounded by barbed wire entangle- ments. which were so intricate as to make them impervious to any tools. e
 Characterization of artillery fire op- ened large breaches this defense; parapets were sent crashing to the ground, and dismembered bodies were blown into the air above the clouds of smoke The earth was strewn with overturned trees and branches.
 After five hours of intense fire Five mines, lttlu uIluCT tllt IldIdIltL adjacent to the principal forts hold ing the position, exploded, annihilat- ing the garrison and spreading panic m the trenches
 An attack with fixed bayonets then began in thee lines. preceded by detachment with hand grenades. Engineers followed with little brid- ges which had been prepared in ad-
  the network of trenches The order has been given not to stop in any trench but to pass over and take the enemy in the rear.
 "Three lines of trenches were thus cleared of the Germans. Those who sought refuge in the underground shelters perished from suffocation, through the collapse of the entire earthworks.
 Toward o'clock, April :, the en- emy attempted to counter attack, supported by a heavy artillery fire, which was neutralized by our bat teries. Our attack was renewed the following day and developed into fur ious hand to- hand struggles with srenades and cold steel in the narrow lines of the trenches. The enemy offered such resistance that the or der was given to evacuate part of the ground that has been gained. This was when bombarded until the enemy was obliged to retire. We then had the three main line trenches of the Ally woods.
 'The enemy's losses were heavy. We counted 200 dead on the evening of the fifth and on the evening of the sixth were found the dead piled in three rows.
 During the seventh and eighth we repuised eight counter attacks The enemy succeeded in entering one trench, but was unable to hold it.

 Officials of the state department are guarding closely reports received from cOnsuls in the territory occupied by Villa as it is not desired to give out military information. but it is known that plans for another battle with Obregon, the Carranza command CT, are proceeding rapidly.

Indications now are that he intends to concentrate all these forces in central Mexico for another supreme effort against Obregon. Car ranza officials here claim that the Villa movement has been given a crushing blow, from which it never will recover In the meantime many rumors of counter revolutionary mea- sures have been current, though not credited by the American government. Many sympa thiZers of Huerta have been in Washington. but most of them deny that Huerta intends to take the field again.

BY ANNA PAVLOWA.

/ BY ANNA PAVLOWA.
4 The Pavlowana is the first of
the new social dances which !
originated last summer. It is per-
formed in "a time and is OF
Spanish character. Though de-
handing many "open" positions, II
is not difficult.
The start of the Pavlowana is
made by the lady. with her left
foot, and the cavalier with his
right. Standing In full open
position, side by lie, the lady on
her cavaliers right, they clasp
hands and move forward in three
stately steps, the first one about
twelve inches In length, the others
of about six to eight inches each.
As the steps continue the dancers
bring their clasped hands forward,
gradually raising the arms to a
point above their head and before
them.
The photograph herewith shown
Represents myself and my partner
at the finish of the first figure.
The count of "one," two" three"
-four" is proper to use even
though the music is "a time.
And it proceeds in this fashion:
One-Lady, long step forward
on left foot, with dip; cavalier,
long step forward on right foot,
with dip.
Two-Lady, shorter step on
right foot; cavalier, shorter step
on left foot.
Three-Lady, same as two, left
foot; cavalier, some as two, right
foot.
Four-Lady, full pause; cava-
lier, full pause.
Gradually straighten up on
those last counts, raising arm.
Yhe salutation, which comes at
the conclusion of this first figure,
is really part of it because it
serves as an adornment.
1 From the moment each dancer
starts 1t takes two. full counts;
and the raising of the body from
its saluting position to one of
erectness occupies two additional
hcounts. Therefore, the evolution
requires four counts of the music.
From her pose shown In the H.
lustration the lady starts q quar-
ter turn to her left, lifting the heel
of her right slipper and turning
on the ball of the foot. AS she
does SO she allows her left hand
and arm to swing down from
iabove and to describe an arc,
(which finally carries her hand be-
hind her and somewhat above her
head.
In her swing to the left the lady
carries her left foot back to a
point about IL inches in the rear
of the right and at right angles
to 1t. the knees being bent. With
both feet flat on the floor the lady
now drops her body, keeping the
fright knee as straight as possible.
