The fire which has sunk to a depth of

British Gain Position.

II develops that the action of the
British battalions of the LOYAL North
Lencashires and the Lanca shire Fusi-
liers o.: the 18th was singularly bril-
liant attack. and gained strategic
point-the crest of the redoubta ble
Nimy ridge-the possession of which
means the command of the plain of
Lens.
Since the British took over this sec
ton from the French, in the early stage
of the battle of Ferdun. the Germans
had been holding stubbornly the van
tage of the higher ground and infiict-
ing heavy casualties on the British.
After a successful exposion of mines
Just after dark, the Lancashires, who
are made up largely of cotton opera
tives from Manchester, rushed from
their trenches to the lips of the crat-
erS.
Every detail in the program of the
operation was carried out SUCCESSFULLY
Morning found the Lanca shires thor
oughly intrenched against retaliatory
German bonn mbardment and had connect
ed their old line by communicating
trenches six feet deep. Slight casual
ties were the cost of the nights sue
cess. The value of the ground gained
is not to be judged by the $50 yards
of front taken. but by the fact that the
l.ancashires are no longer on the down
side of the slope with the Germans
above them.

Appeal to Romantic Spirit.

MassinGham thinks that the psychic
quality of the revolt, the disinterested ed
ness of its leaders. their reckless sur

feat naturally appeals to the martial
and romantic spirit of the people. but
| it was the executions and the errors
of the military administration, which
/ fell with indiscriminating hand on the
innocent and guilty alike. that have
changed the perspective and the his

the minds of the Irish people.
The Irish judges have resumed their
sittings in the four courts which have
been closed for an extra long Easter
recess, owing to the rebellion. Except

at the Boston navy yard, today was
ordered to Vera Cruz to relieve the

The transfer Of the ship is in line
with the policy established by Re"-
Admiral Benson, chief of operations
to keep reserve battleships in opera
ton as much as possible as a means of
continuing their efficiency.
The realignment of United States
troops in Mexico and along the border
probably will include withdrawal to

23d Infantry. 1t said the sergeant had
been found dead on the Mexican side of
the border and that Gen. Gavira the

The bill proposed to appropriate $50
900. to be raised by Panama bonds,
for the purchase, charter or lease of
ships by the government. The ships
would be sold or leased to private capi

iaries. The operation of such vessels
as the government was unable to lease
or sell would not extend beyond five

SHORTAGE IN U. S. FLAGS.
GERMANY CHIEF SOURCE AND
SHIPMENTS HAVE BEEN
SUSPENDED.

American patriotism will suffer some
what this year because Germany cannot
ship to this country sufficient quantity
of small United States fags. This un-
usual situation was discovered here when
committee representing all the de-
partments of the federal government en-
deavored to buy large number of small
silk flags for Flag day celebration in
this city.
A patriotic demonstration had been
proposed and every employe of the gov
ernment was to wear SMALL flag in his
coat lapel. When the committee asked
for prices on the required number of
little flags it was informed by the
jobbers that all such flags are made
in Germany and that the war has cut
off shipments. As result the scheme
has been abandoned. as the committee
has not found any American firm which
is in the business of making small
American flags.
