THE WAR NEWS
IN BRIEF form

The comparatively narrow strip of ter
ritory between the rivers Mouse and Mo-
selle in France, where the German wedge
has for months past been pressing against
the French line, is the scene of some of
the most sanguinary fighting of the war
A detailed statement by the French war
office gives a summary of the results at
tanned by offensive "Reminiscences and
attacks which the Allies have carried on
Since April 4, with the object of forcing
this German wedge back and straighten-
ing their own lines.
In that period of time there has been a
gain on 12-mile front to the northeast
and east of Verdun of from two-thirds of
mile to two miles; two villages have
been carried and the French have occu-
pied the heights dominating the Orne, a
small river running east and west.
The German war office sets up counter
claims that the French have made virtu-
ally no progress, being repuised at va
rious points. There seems to be little
doubt that the sharp edge of the wedge
has been moved back a distance, and
there is a certainty, too, that the oppos-
ing forces are paying a heavy price in
killed and wounded. At Eparges, as an
of the German casualties, the
French report the finding of 1000 German
dead on the field.

London. April s, 1916 p. M.-The
cabinet having failed to come to a de-
c1slon on the drink question, no set
tlement is expected until Parliament
meets next week. The impression is
growing that the government will con-
tent itself with bringing in a meas
ure prohibiting the sale of spirits.
Even this step will not be exclusive
ly a government policy. since nothing
can be done without consultation with
other parties.
Consent of Conservatives
The conservative leaders, A. j. Bal
four and Andrew Bonar Law, are be-
lieved already to have given private
ly their assent to whatever action
may be taken, provided no measure
for total prohibition be considered at
this time.
In proposing the prohibition of the
sale of spirits and possibly wine and
lessening the strength of beer, Great
Britain would be following the foot
steps of Russia, which before the
adoption Of total prohibition forbade
the manufacture or use of spirits.
The Opposition
Even the prohibition Of traffic in
spirits is not likely to be adopted
without considerable opposition from
the vested interests. The influence of
the party favoring voluntary abstin
ence is growing. It's latest recruit 5
include the heads of various churches,
who have signed pledge to abstain
from intoxicating liquors during the
war.
Opposition to the suppression of the
use of spirits is in some degree sec
tional, since Scotland consumes PEI
capital three times as much spirits
as England and half again as much
as Ireland. Scottish opposition, if SOL
id, might easily cause the defeat Of
the measure.

Norwich, Ct, April s.-The estab-
ment of a department OF transportation
with a secretary Of transportation who
would be member Of the Presidents
cabinet was advocated by Howard Ell
lott, president of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad, in an ad-
dress tonight before the Chamber of
Commerce and the members Of the
Eastern Connecticut Development Co.
Fault of New Laws
THE present condition Of the Amer
lean railroads is due in part" he said,
ito an effort on the part Of the coun-
try to fix rates and service by regula-
ton and at the same time to have
them fixed by competition, thus Gre
ating an almost impossible condition,
somewhat destructive of results and
values.
1T is question how far it is to the
public interest to apply the so-called
antitrust law to the transportation
business. Well organized prudently
managed and wisely regulated comb-
nations Of railroads may, in the long
run, produce greater efficiency and
service to the public than excessive
competition, with the resulting dupll-
cation of facilities and increased ox-
penSeS.
To-day the government recognizes
some Of the great commercial actiVl
ties of it's population by departments
and cabinet officers. The transporta-
ton business OF the United States is
next to agriculture in Importance, in
volume and in its relation to the well
fare of the whole country and it should
have a defender in the councils Of the
cabinet.
II believe it would be we'll to have
a department of transportation with
Il secretary Of transportation at the
head Of it, who should be member of
the cabinet. Such a man would OF ne
cessity have to champion somewhat
the rights and privileges of the trans
portation business such as the Secre-
taries of the treasury, commerce and
labor speaks for their particular sub
jects. Such an office would have a
wholesome balancing effect between
the demands Of the public and of the
regulatory organizations on one side
and any errors of policy and manage
ment on the part of the owners of the
property on the other side
Referring to the New England rail-
road situation, Mr. Elliott said that
with conflicting laws in the different
states it calls attention very forcibly
to the desirability of federal incor-
poration act for those railroads, the
majority Of whose business is inter-
state"

OFFICIAL WAR
REPORT BY THE
French Office

Paris, April s. Via London. April Q.
--12:15 A. M.-The following officia,
statement regarding the progress of
the campaign was issued by the
French war office tonight:
Despite the continued bad wealth.
er fresh successes were Won yester-
day and today between the Mouse AMI
the Moselle. AT Eparges night at
tack enabled us to make a step in adj
vance and we have maintained our
progress Notwithstanding three vio-
lent counter attacks. We have al
ready counted on the field more tina 4
a thousand dead bodies of Germans.
Further to the south near Lamor-
ville in a spirited infantry action W.
wiped out a German company and
took prisoner the ten survivors.
I'm the ALLY wood we carried add d.
tional trenches and repulsed two coun-
ter attacks. In the forest of Mont
mare, north of Flirey we gained a
footing in the enemy's defence works
and held our ground there in spite of
the efforts the enemy made to regain
them.
To the northeast of this wood the
cable of a captive balloon was Sc
vered by one of our shells and the
balloon drifted across our lines to-
ward the southeast.
TO sum up The offensive reconnais-
sance and attacks which we have car
ried out since April 4, between the Mouse
and the Moselle have given the follow
ing results:
'First-On the northeast and east
fronts of Ver,lun we have gained on a
front of 20 kilometers from one to three
kilometers and occupied the heights
river and carried the villages of Gussain-
VILE and Fromezey.
Second-On the heights of the Meuse,
at Eparges we have sarried almost the
whole of the strong position held by the
enemy on the plateau which commands
Combre., and we retain the ground
captured in the face OF numerous and
very violent counter attacks.
''Third-Further to the south. near ST.
Mihiel, We have captured the entire
southwestern portion of the ALLY Wood
where the Germans were strongly es-
tablished. This they have been unable
to re-take. despite repeated attacks
"Fourth-In southern Woevre between
the forest Of Montmarcia and the for
est of LePretre we have gained on a
front of seven to eight kilometers, a
distance of three kilometres (nearly two
miles, and have taken from the enemy
the villages of Fey-En-Haye and Reg
melville.
AT all these points the Germans have
suffered heavy losses. as can be esti-
mated from the nu mbreof bodies found
at Eparges."

Austrian Position
The Austrians seem to have only
enough men to hold the Russians IN

an effective counter attack from Buko-
wilma Therefore their hope must again
center on the Germans, who may force
back the Russians as they did when
the invaders had reached point fur
Their within Hungary than they have

Austro-German force attacked the Rus

now, but it's chance of success probably
