Paris March 80, IL noon Several
German infantry attacks upon Avo-
court wood, in an endeavor to retake
lost positions, were made last night
The war Office report of this afternoon
says these assaults failed. No further
advances against Malancourt were at
tempted by the Germans. East of the
Mouse there was heavy artillery fight
ing
The statement follows:
ITO the south of the river SOmme
the way having been prepared by a
violent bombardment, the enemy pen
etrated one of the advanced points OF
our line at point to the west Of Yer
mandovillers, to the north Of Chaul-
mes A cOunter-attack drove them out.
ITO the west of the river Mouse, the
Germans last night delivered several
counter attacks against our positions
in the wood of AvOcourt. All these
assaults, however, were driven back
with heavy losses in the ranks of the
enemy Before the redoubt of Ayo-
court, the Germans left piles of dead
bodies. There has been no military en-
deayor in the region of Malancourt.
ITO the east of the river Mouse and
in the Woeyre district there has been
intermittent bOmbardment.
During the day OF March 90 our
aerial attack squardons threw bombs
on the railroad stations of Metz

To End War by Christmas.
London, March 3O.-Before the end
Of June the allied armies will strike
simultaneous blows on all fronts. de-
signed to bring the kaiser to his
knees and end of the war before
Christmas.
This combined offensive, It was held
in London yesterday, is the certain re-
suit Of the great war council of the
allies which closed at Paris last night
The allied drives may be preceded
by other German attempts TO break
the western front, it is believed. There
are persistent rumors that the Ger
mans have used the long lull at Yer
dun TO shift troops for blow at some
sector Of the French front.
British Forces Relieve French.
"The official communications HAVING
revealed the fact that the British arm
les have taken over a length of the
line previously held by the French,
says Reuters correspondent at the
British headquarters in France, Il am
permitted to make reference to 1t.
The new dispositions were carried
out with great skill and secrecy, and
the result has been the release Of large
French forces who were manifestly of
great value in another area At pres
ent the British probably are holding
something like One-fourth Of the en-
tire length Of the western front, ex-
tending in an unbrOken line from the
User to the Somme
Although the hour Of the British
army may be at hand, it is not yet. Nor
Is there any reason TO believe that the
Germans will succeed by their attacks
on Ferdun in upsetting the prear-
ranged strategy Of the great coming
offensive"

Cleveland, Ohio, March 30-Full
toll Of the railroad wreck at Amherst.
early yesterday morning, cannot be
known for several days, say surgeons
attending the victims, but is is certain
to exceed q, the present figure. Two
of the injured, Albert Keller, Chicago
and Wilbur Mahoney, Toledo, cannot
survive.
Hospital surgeons refused to dis
cuss the probable ultimate death list,
saying that it would certainly be sew
eral hours, possibly days before the
extent of internal injuries suffered by
many could be determined.
Construction of "Death Coach"
The question of whether the So
called death COACH on the train, No.
Sc, was Of modern steel construction,
as claimed by New York Central Off
cials or was mainly of wood construc-
ton, promised to be an important fea-
ture of the investigation.
Railroad officials today were still d.
vided in opinion as to whether the
blame should be placed on the tower
man who, 1t is alleged by some officials
was asleep and failed TO give the prop
er signal or upon the engineer, who
they say it may be shown either failed
to see the signal or exceeded his or
ders.
The two men at whom most OF the
questions were to be directed at to-
days investigation to be held in the
Offices of Division Superintendent ".
F. Shaft, were Engineer Herman Hess
of the second section of train No. Sc.
and Towerman A. r. Ernst of Am
herst.
Engineer D. W. Leonard of the first
section of train No. Sc, which pulled
the death car" asserts he stopped his
train on signal originating in Ernst's
tower.
The engineer declares he saw no sig
nal when he brought his section boom
ing along at so miles an hour about
three minutes later.
Ernst asserts he set no stop signal,
declaring the line was open for Engi-
neer Leonard to go ahead
If Ernst is held culpable in the in
VestigatiOn the blame will trace back
to baby's tiny crib in the Ernst home
at Elyria. The baby was born Sunday
night. Since that time Ernst has had
little sleep, railroad officials say.
TOwerman Shifts Blame.
Ernst, the towerman, early today
made statement in which he stoutlv
denied that he was asleep or that he
was incapacitated by loss of sleep.
He asserted that he set the signal
properly but that It failed to work and
that the accident was caused thereby,
While my wife was ill.," said Ernst,
Il got my regular sleep and went
about my duties as usual. The signal
simply failed to work. That is all"

Thirty persons were killed and
scores were injured in the Lake Shore
train wreck at Amherst, Ohio, early
Wednesday morning. These pictures,
showing the effects of the disaster,
were taken Wednesday forenoon, be-
fore any of the debris had been
cleared away.
The wreck was one of those rarest
of railroad calamities-no one coils
ion, but two, involving three trains,
on two tracks. When the half dozen
Investigations now under way are con-
cluded, the blame will be fixed on
some luckless railroad employee. A
block signal, set suddenly and with
out warning, against train speed
ing along eastward with another
train following in the next block"
lies at the bottom of the doubt that
exists as to the real cause of the
wreck. .uss.A1. SEss.

SECRET AGENTS ACT
Department Justice Scents
Plot-Americans Are
Aiding Villa?

Washington, March 30.-Depart.
ment of justice agents, following
trail which is said to lead to Amer
lean sources Of supply for Villa,
have uncovered evidence in New
York and other cities which they
believe when fully developed will
justify the charge.
The allegation often made that
Villa has received aid from Ger
man sources also is being investi-
gated but no indication has been
given as to whether any evidence
has been found.
The department Is disinclined to
act on its evidence that American
money and supplies have gone to
Villa while it is in the stage that
will involve only sub0rdinates. 1t
intends to pursue the trail ii pos
sibIe to the men higher up.
Ell Paso, March 30.-Brigadier GEN.
eral Pershing has projected a long and
relentless hunt for Francisco Villa-a
chase that may last for many weeks
before the bandit is run to earth. This
information was CLEANED here today
iiftafy men who made no secret
of their belief that Villa had slipped
through the Gordon of Carranza forces
and American troops.
Mexican officials said today they had
no news as to the whereabouts of Villa,
but that the troops of the de facto gov
eminent were aiding the American
soldiers in trying to round up the
brigand The last of the information
was that Villa was moving through the
Santa Maria valley. Once among his
peon friends, who would give the
American troops misleading informa-
ton regarding his whereabouts, Villa
might escape detection for q long
time.
Reward Would sect Villa"
Ranchers from the region west of
Chihuahua City said that when it be-
came known that there was a price
upon Villas head, dead or alive, the
bandit would be in constant danger of
betrayal. Whether the American
troops have made known their dis
regard for Villa is not known here but
it is presumed the word has spread
out among the peon population as the
American soldiers move from place to
place.
Rowing bands of Villa men are re-
ported everywhere in the region of
Santa Maria valley but apparently the
American flying columns have not
come in contact with them.
Await Supply Order.
Brigadier General George Bell, COM
mander of the base at Fort Bliss,
awaited official orders today to ship
supplies to the army over the Mexico
Northwestern railroad. Supplies con-
sisting of gasoline, forage, canned
goods and flour will go forward as
soon as the orders are received.
Meanwhile Major Elliot, department
quartermaster, is moving supplies in
great bulk to Columbus, n. NJ, where
they are carried in truck trains over
the Mexican desert to the army base
below Casas Grandes. Ten carloads
were shipped to Columbus early today
while 10 motor trucks were also sent
to the army base there. Twenty-seven
more motor trucks will go forward
late today to Columbus.
