GERMANS LOSE
DIE cRAICHEN
IN FLANDERS

BERLIN. April News OF the
evacuation of the German position at
Die Gratchen In West Flanders and of
French advances northeast OF yerdun
In the Woevre district, is contained in
an official statement by the German
general staff today. The report shows
that the French have started . terrific
offensive movement east OF the Meuse.
The village Of Die Graichen, which
was occupied Monday. was wrecked
by an artillery fire from heavy guns
and also from mine throwers. For
this reason we abandoned the position
last night. In the Argonne forest the
French attack broke down under the
fire of the Chasseurs."
The American note to England and
France expressing the attitude of tht
United States on the British order in
council" blockading German ports, has
not been received favorably here. The
complete text Of the note has not
reached Berlin, but commenting on
the summary Of the contents the in.
fluential Cologne Gazette says:
1T appears that the note was franz
ed against Germany rather than
against England. It is SO drafted that
England may leave it unnoticed with
out any reason to fear any serious
step from the United States"

TRUSTEES TO CHECK
STUDENT TRANSFERS

After discussion Of the new trans
fer law passed by last legislature,
township trustees in session today
voted to stop transferring pupils where-
ever possible.
The result will be the employment
of two more teachers for Wayne town
ship and twenty pupils will be taksn
from Garfield school and divided be-
tween Earlham Heights township
school and the old Sevastopol town
ship school on West Fifth street. Only
jackson and Arlington townships are
affected by the law at present.
The trustees read the law and found
It required that per capita cost Of edu-
cation In the schools to which pupils
are transferred. must be paid by the
township whereas the present cost Is
less than half of this amount
New school hacks made by the
Wayne works were examined. A num-
Der of trustees are figuring on pur-
chasing new hacks for the 19l5-lslS
school term.

EXPERT TO EXPLAIN
SPRINKLER SYSTEM
OF FIRE PROTECTION
Reduction of Hazards and
Prevailing Insurance Rates
Becomes Vital Issue With
Commercial Club.

"The Conflagration Poblem-How
Can Richmond Solve IT." IL the sub
ject Of an address which will be given
Monday night at the Commercial club
meeting by I. G. Hoagland, secretary
Of the National Automatic Sprinkler
association Of New York
The address is considered OF vital
importance. Members Of the club have
been working for several months to
have the association secretary speak
here
The address will be made in the in.
terests of the retail merchants OF the
city In particular. 1t is the first step
to have the retail merchants take In.
dtvtdual action towards the reduction
OF fire hazards and the consequent re-
duction Of fire insurance rates.
Plants Install Systems.
Many factories of the city have had
automatic sprinkler systems for some
time but the retail merchants have not
taken that step. Only two or three
buildings in the retail section of the
city have automatic sprinkler systems,
one being the new Palladium building.
The George H. Knollenberg company
has let the contract for the installa.
tion Of such a system.
The automatic sprinkler system is a
series of water valves placed at inter-
walls OF eight or ten feet In the ceiling.
The valves are sealed by soft metal.
The metal is made to give way at a
certain temperature. In case of fire,
the valve above the flames is opened
by the heat and strong flow Of water
results.
The. meeting will be the first busi-
ness meeting of the club since the
election Of officers. New committee
business will be taken up. The report
of the insurance committee probably
will be read.

the announcement that the allies had abandoned Galipoli

formal statement Of the failure Of the undertaking
not leave good impression. Coupled with this Is the
story coming though 1t does from the enemys side that
had the British held short time longer the Dardan
eles would have been theirs. But the real gravity Of
Britains cause is illustrated by the speech of David
LloydGeorge, Minister Of Munitions; in the House o,
Commons, which was virtually warning to the people
that unless and greater efforts put forth, de-
feat would be their portion.
This Is the first time an official OF the Government
has declared that the allies cause was in danger.

Of the authorities has been that while the way might

figure in the Government has spoken words that without
stretch Of the imagination might be considered akin to
despair? Hear him:
