 Tn Belgium to the north of Ypres the Germans attempted an attack on our right, but were immediately checked by our machine guns.
 Nothing new has occurred on the British front
 At Marcourt to the south of Chaul- res an attack, in which about so men engaged, was directed against our lines. The Germans were armed with wire cutters. grenades, automatic pis- tols and knives. They were almost all cut down by our infantry; several of u em were taken prisoner.

UNIVERSITY STUDENT
 BODY TO CENSOR NEWS
Board Of Censorship Composed of Five Students All News Which May Be Sent State Papers ents Make Unavaing Protest-Tuscaloosa Items

Tuscaloosa, May Especial At a general assembly of the students of the University of Alabama, held in Nor gan hall Saturday, a resolution was in troduced and adopted empowering the executive committee of the student body to appoint board of censorship. composed of five students of the uni versity sent out to the state papers by their correspondents at the institu- ton. The board of censorship was also given the authority to call upon any paper for the removal of it's represen- tative if, in the opinion of the board, he is not acceptable to the student body, or is guilty of sending out any proval of the board
 The resolution was introduced by a member of the executive committee, and came as a surprise to the students who were unaware of the feeling said to exist between the correspon Tents and some of the students. Wyatt Rushton of Montgomery, correspondent for several papers, spoke in defense of the correspondents, stating that he failed to see by what authority the stu dent body could censor news. and that in his opinion, they had no right to do so as the correspondents were paid for their services by the papers, and not by the university.
 There is said to have been some dis satisfaction on the part of the iaem- bers of the student body and the ath- letic authorities with the reports sent out In regard to games and other ath- letie events participated in by the uni versity teams. It is understood that

BURGESS AND GLOVER FOIL
 ATTEMPT AT JAIL DELIVERY
Patrol Driver and Warden at Norhside Jail by Vigilance Pre- vent Escape of Prsoners-Big Iron Bar Sawed and Bent-Caude Wilson and P w. McVey Charged
 With Being the Ringleaders

The vigilance of Patrol Driver Ed de Burgess and Warden c. c. Glover at the Northside city jail frustrated a dar- ing attempt at a wholesale jail deliy- cry at 1 o'clock this morning.
 Claude Wilson and P. w. McVey are charged with being the ring leaders in the affair. The two sawed through sa iron bar an inch and one-half thick and then bent it upward to permit egress. The window was still blocked by a heavy wire screen and this, too. was prized outward. McVey was halfway out the opening with Wilson iinme- diately behind him when the officers discovered them and ordered the sheepish prisoners back to their cells where they were locked in.
 Burgess was the first to discover that an attempt to escape was being made by prisoners. The window where the attempt was made fronts on all open court running through from Third alley to Fourth avenue. It is customary to burn a light here and in his usual rounds about the jail Bul gess noted that the light was extin- guished Twice he relit it and then be- coming suspicious took up his stand in the alley and soon located the win dow where the prisoners were work ing.
 Warden Glover, W ho had been watch ing inside, was called. and the two stood in the darkness and watched the two prisoners work There was much whispering and heaving and a slight noise. Then the screen was ell za ., poked out to reconnoitre. Not seeing the officers in the darkness the sig nal was given by McVey to his com panion and he wriggled through the bars.
 At this juncture Officer Burgess flashed his electric torch on the scene and the prisoners were ordered back to their cells. Subsequent examination showed where the bar had been sawed through,

 q believe that the two men had some one on the outside helping them." said officer Burgess. "Otherwise, how could the light in the alley have been turned off twice. I had been keeping my eye open sometime and knew they were at work long before they had succeeded in prizing off the screen l saw one of them go to the two windows on Third alley and peep out to see if anyone was watch ing them. They would work bit and then go up to the other end of the jail and make little noise to attract at tention elsewhere"
 McVey and Wilson are held on three charges of burglary and grand larceny and were arrested on the night of April 29. Several hundred dollars worth of property which proved to have been stolen were found when the Wilson house at East Lake was raded.
