Says Blockade Is Firm.
BORDEAUX. France. May 1.-The
English blockade remains as firm as

perience to attempt to force it," said
Victor Augagneur. the French minis
ter of marine, speaking on the subject
Of the German bombardment of the
French seaport of Dunkirk. The state
ment was made to the newspaper
France de Bordeaux ct du Sud Quest.
Never has it been q question of the
bombardment of Dunkirk by a Ger

the enemy's vessels of large tonnage

Could Not Bombard City.
I'VE know that light cruisers of thir-
ty knots belonging to the enemy have
forced one point and arrived OF the
Belgian coast, but these vessels. as
suming that they were able to reach
the vicinity of Dunkirk, could not bonn
bard that city effectively. as the caliber
of the guns of the light vessels is only
4.6. The shells used on Dunkirk were
all of large caliber."

decisive and definite results which he
awaited with absolute confidence might
be expected soon.

Two German attacks In the region of
Bagatelle have been repulsed by the
French, 1t is claimed. Several German
trenches have been taken in the forest
of LIE Pretre, while the French claim
they are maintaining the ground cap
tured at various points in the recent
fighting.
Allied forces have lost heavily in
their attacks upon German positions
on the western bank of the Ypres canal,
according to the official statement is
sued in Berlin tonight. To the east of
the canal and north of Ypres the enemy
has made several unsuccessful at
tacks.
Heavy Losses for French.
All French attacks have failed. with
heavy losses between the Meuse and
Moselle in the vicinity of ALLY and
Apremont. according to the Germans.
Rheims has again been forced to un-
dergo a bombardment and the famous
town. already torn by the murderous
fire of many days. is a shambles when
compared to its condition previous to
the outbreak of the war. Germans de-
clare that the latest training of their
heavy guns on the famous city was in
reprisal for the bomba rdment of places
behind the German fighting lines.
Three allied aircraft have been lost
in the past few days, according to the
Germans.

Austrians Claim Gains.
The Austrian official statement on
it's part is quite as optimistic as that
of the Russian from it's viewpoint. 1t
asserts that the Russian troops have
been dislodged from several positions
in Poland and that they have met with
heavy losses in attempting violent at
tacks against the heights in the OraWa
and Opor valleys.
1t is expected that big offensive
will soon be undertaken on the eastern
front, probably by the Germans. VINO
have been feeling their way toward
the Russian positions around the East
Prussian frontier. although this may
be feint to hide movement on
some other part of the line:
According to semi-off1clal state
ment issued in Petrograd the new OF
fensive of the German forces on the
right bank of the Ntemen river is OF
no strategicaI Importance. but may
be explained as an attempt to include

vet been devastated.
German Trenches Taken.
Although there has been considerable
lighting at various points in the west
ern arena generally. comparative calm
prevails, according to the latest French

Haitien Minister
Issues Statement
on Gold Removal
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Jan. 7-Solon Menos,
Haitien minister. issued a long state
ment today, giving his governments
verdict OF the recent removal of $780,
600 from the National bank of Haiti
and its transportation to New York
on the gunboat Machias. A formal
protest over the incident has been SUBJ
mitted to the state department.
Bank officers applied to the Washing
ton government for permission to send
the funds to New York aboard the
Machias because there was no other
means Of transportation. They con-
tended that their object was to pre-
vent the money from falling into the
hands Of the government now in con-
troll of the country which they feared
might not be permanent
The minister in his statement
charged the funds were improperly re-
moved and that officers and men Of the
Machias took the gold from the bank
and placed 1t aboard the ship. He
denied that Haiti was bankrupt or that
the government had any intention of
using the funds for any purpose other
than the retirement of paper money.
If the financial and economic situ-
alton of Haiti has suffered from the
European war said the minister, "it
is a misfortune in which she has no
monopoly, for the most prosperous
nations are affected oy this occurrence
so grievous to everyone. But it is I'M
reasonable that the so-called capital
lists have wished to profit by this ex-
ceptional crisis to speculate with funds
which do not belong to them and pre-
tending to impose upon the state OF
Haiti, a control which assails her in
dependence and her constitution, ex-
cites a policy of strangulation incom-
patible with the so much sought after
Pan American solidarity and which is
neither generous nor reassuring to the
other republics of Latin America"

England,s Reply
to Note of u. S.
Is ConciAatory
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS

London, Jan. 7.--Great Britain's
reply to the United States note on
interference with American shipping
it is said in well informed quarters,
is wholly conciliatory and shows a
disposition to do everything within
reason to avert the delay of cargoes.
England wishes to do everything in
it's power consistent with the proper
safeguarding of the allies interests,
to facilitate world-trade and stimulate
commerce. Consequently, it is de-
clareG, there is no disposition on Eng
chase of German vessels by Ameri
the ships are not used so as to avoid
what might reasonably be called con-
sequences OF belligerency.
Use of transferred German ships
in cotton trade with Germany prob
ably would be called forth objections
from the allies, although cotton is
not contraband. because the allies, it
is said, would regard such use as
round about means of escaping wars
effects.
At any rate objection is not likely
to come until ships are actually trans
ferred and their prospective use is
clearly indicated. It is probable the
allies will take the position that the
sale money shall be held until the
close of the war as a guarantee that
it will not oe Of help to belligerents.
An assurance that German ships
purchased by the United States gov
eminent or its citizens would engage
only in the South American trade
probably would satisfy the allies.
While it is pointed out that sale of
German ships in New York to the Am
erican government or its citizens
would inevitably relieve German citi-
zens of heavy expenses of mainten
ance and insurance-undoubte con-
sequences of war within the meaning
of International practice-still Eng
land probably would be willing to
waive objections on that point were
the vessels to enter trade in no way
beneficial to Germany, Austria or
Turkey.
