Attacking Force Decimatcd.

Paris, April 5, 10:15 a. mn yes- terday's fighting around Verdun the Germans lost considerable ground and sustained heavy casualties, notwith- standing the new formation of their attacking parties
 At D. m., after the ground had been battered by several hundred tons of projectiles, a thin line of rifenlen debouched from Chauffeur wood. a little to the northwest of Douaumont. The Germans advanced by short bounds toward the French trenches. situated about 300 yards south of the village. A second and a third line followed at equal distances, with small supporting and attacking columns in the rear. This formation has been noticed during the last few days and Is regarded by the French as proof that the Germans have been sorely punished in their previous assaults in Berried ranks.
 But the change proved ineffective. The first line of rif1emen advanced to within fifty yards of the French trenches and there had to drop to the ground under heavy blasts of shrapnel and sustained mushetry. The second and third lines attempted Lo duNdllCe to the support Of the first line, but were stopped far in the rear by machine gun fire.
 Shrapnei Rained Into Ranks.
 The Germans in the first line were In a most critical position. ShraDneI worked havoc among them. To. c4arge was out of the question and as long as they remained at the roint to which they had advanced they were exposed to a decimating fire. The second and third lines were 1ittlc better off, for they were within lange of the French three-inch guns. The entlre attacking force finally adopted the only move open, retreating under raklng fire to Chauffeur wood. They .eft half their number on the field. At

Rapidity of Army Movement
 Warning to Belligerent Nations
MANEUVERS ON SEAC0AST
Feeling of Bitterness in Holland Against Both England and Ger many-WilI Take Drastic Steps to Relieve Food Shortage.

London, April 4, 3:3O D. m.. Oe- layed)-"Holland barred it's teeth to the belligerents on both sides so un- l expectedly that the Dutch public was as much astonished as the remainder of the world," said prominent neu- tral, just returning from Amsterdam, to The Associated Press today This person, who enjoys exceptional op portunities of gaining reliable infor- mation stated that not only was the Dutch army mobilized but actual maneuvres were held as if to repel forces landing from the North Sea in the neighborhood of Flushing.
 The mobilization was accomplished swiftly. Virtually every private motor car in the country was seized. While mobilization took place along the German frontier maneuvres were held only along the sea coast. To add to the excitement the Germans massed men and guns along the Bel gO-Dutch frontier near Antwerp, as if in preparation to repel an invasion from that direction.
 The returned neutral is convinced the demonstration was aimed against Germany as much as England. He said irritation in Holland against all belligerents had become so pro- nounced that a sullen feeling of hos tility toward both Germany and Great Britain was becoming general throughout the country.
 Holland Short of Food
 On account of the British blockade Holland is experiencing shortage of food to such an extent that the American commission for relief of Belgium has been asked to loan some of it's food supply to certain districts. The Dutch government has deter mined that food shall be transported to Holland in vessel communicated by it without reference to any limitation fixed by agreement with the Neither lands Overseas Trust.
 This food will be shipped in the name of the Dutch government, which will regard any attempt to in terfere with it as an unfriendly act. Many importers who have been ex- cluded from the operations of the Netherlands Overseas Trust are so embittered by the ruin of their bus inesses, which are on the British
 
 offer the government substantial sup port in any steps it may take to end the food blockade.
 Hostility to Germany.
 The feeling of hostility against Germany is equally pronounced. The Dutch believe the German govern ment has engaged in a deliberate campaign against Dutch shipping. Dutch warships are now patrolling North Sea trade routes, sweeping away or shooting mines.
 Another neutral, who made the trip to Flushing last Saturday, stated that during the passage Dutch and British patrol boats shot forty-five mines. These mines were of a new type, colored like the water, and were very difficult to dodge even in day light.
 This neutral asserted the Dutch have declared closed to belligerents the water around Northhinder Light, and that in this vicinity a Dutch de- stroyer fired at the periscope of a submarine.
 According to both these inform ants the excitement in Holland sub sided as suddenly as it arose and the army is once more occupying the Us nal stations

Agent of Industrial Commits.
sion Holds Conferences
With KenOsha Manufac-
turcrs on Monday.


With a view of having the manufac~
turers get a better understanding of
the apprentice system under the new
laws of the state, Stewart Schrimshaw,
supervisor of apprenticeship for the
industrial commission of Wisconsin, was
in Kenosha on Monday and in company
with D. E. Soul, head of the continual
ton schools, he held conferences with
many of the leading manufacturers of
the city. The industrial commission is
urging strongly the extension of the
apprentice system in Wisconsin factor
les and the term of the indenture has
been increased under the last laws
passed by the legislature to bind the
apprentice until he reaches the age of
twenty-one years.
Kenosha factory managers showed a
distinct interest in the conferences held
by Supervisor Schrimshaw and it is
certain that his visit to Kenosha will
result in more apprentices being en-
ployed in the Kenosha factories. The
employment of apprentices in large
numbers will have the effect of largely
increasing the attendance at the con-
tinuation schools of the city as the law
provides that these boys shall attend
school during the term of their appren-
ticeship. In some cities of the state
where the apprentice system has been
more largely developed than in Keno
sha it has been found necessary to
have special schools for the training of
these boys and young men.
The Kenosha factory managers have
shown an interest in any plan which
will develop skilled workmen for the
big plants and for this reason the sug-
gestion of extending the apprentice
system appealed to them.
Supervisor Schrimshaw will return to
Kenosha either later in the present
week or early next week to take fur
ther action in the matter.

conscious of their power and they have
shown some tendency to use it to ex-
tremes.
Before doing so let them reflect that
the railway employees on one side and
the railway owners on the other are
not the only parties interested. There
IS third party-no less than the whole
American people-of whose 100000
all the railway owners and employees
together are but one-twenty-ffth! And
not only IS this third party acutely in
terested, but upon its conception of the
fundamental equities will depend the
final outcome if the dispute be carried
to an appeal to sheer might.
Before either side reaches the tulti-
matum stage, or utters the word i'm
possible, E let both remember the party
of the third part-the American peo-
pie. In view of their overwhelming in
terest there can be but one course of
prudence and patriotism for the parties
OF the first and second parts. That
course is arbitration Chicago Herald.

JEWS PREPARE FOR PASSOVER

The members of the local Jewish
colony are making preparation for the
observance of the Pesach or Passover,
which begins Monday evening, April
II, and is observed until the following
Sunday evening.
The Passover festival speaks for the
sanctity of the home and the Jews will
accordingly assemble in their homes on
next Monday evening and will observe
the occasion by solemn service in
which the story of the ancient struggle
for emancipation is recounted with
pious fervor.
It is customary to remove all leaven
from the household in preparation for
the feast. Leaven is the symbol of the
sordid and refers to those who are not
emancipated from the commonplace
things. During the feast, matzoth, not
bread is eaten.
The Passover is the most ancient of
the Jewish holidays and perhaps the
most ancient of all holidays in the
history of religion and no holiday is 50
near to the truth of human life as it is,
according to the Jewish belief.

right away who has been elected, but
under the old fashioned plan of using
paper ballots the result of the election
may be announced on the morning af-
ter the votes are cast and the people
should be willing to wait the added
twelve hours for results in order to be
assured that they were holding the
election by methods which give assur-
ance that every man is going to have
an equal right to register his ballot.
Lever voting is convenient, but it is
dangerous. Kenosha has thrown away
money on other frilIs and the dollars
spent for voting machines may never
be returned to the city treasurer, but
even though the machines be charged
to the account of profit and loss the
people should be given the right to
register their opinion.

ARRESTED FOR CHICAGO CRIME.
Police Here Take Three Turks into
Custody Seeking Man Who Crimi-
nally Assaulted Chicago Girl.

Ollie Omar, Turk, 81 years of age
who is said to reside at No. GOT JENNIE
street, in this city, is being sought by
the police today on orders from the de-
tective bureau in Chicago. He is want
ed on charges of making criminal as
sault on Angelina Isyzsez, fifteen
year-old Chicago girl on the night of
January 10th last. 1t is alleged that
Omar and several other Turks came here
from Chicago some three weeks ago and
since that time they have been work
ing in a local factory. Three Turks were
taken into custody by Chief O'Hare
and Police Officer Rock Tuesday night
and this morning but not one of them
would admit that he was the man want
ed in Chicago. It is said that all of
these men were living at house on
JENNIE street. Chicago detectives will
come to Chicago late this afternoon
in an effort to pick out the one of the
men wanted there.

ment and thousands of people made
the trip to the west limits Of the city
to see the havoc wrought by it.
The building in which the explosion
took place was total loss as the fire
completely consumed the ruins follow
ing the explosion. The loss to the
company as result of the destruction
of the building viii probably amount
to several hundred dollars. The ex-
plosion delayed the work on the sewer
for less than an hour and the men were
at work again while the crowds were
still lingering about the ruins of the
shanty.

The Party of the Third Part.

More than 919o of the $4,000 train
service employees have voted in favor
of demand for wage increases amount
ing to $3.50. The demand is frequently
referred to as for an " eight-hour day. -
That, in fact, it is not. Railway work
cannot be arranged like factory work,
with men quitting on the stroke of the
clock. The actual demand is that eight
hours be taken instead of ten hours as
the basis in reckoning wages-that at
the end of eight hours instead of ten
overtime payment shall begin.
This demand will now be formally
presented to the railway managers of
the whole country, with request for
conferences. In view of the extent of
the employees demands and the large
majorities behind them it must be re-
garded as unlikely that an acceptable
compromise can be reached at these
preliminary conferences.
The question will then be between
strike, which would be a paralyzing
war doing incalculable damage to the
whole country, and resort to arbitra-
ton.
There should not be the slightest
doubt what will be tho choice. There
is little doubt what will be the choice
OF the railway managers and of an
overwhelming majority of the 100000
or so stock and bond holders they rep
resent. But there is some doubt about
the choice of the employees. They are

Ii we remember correctly the officials
of Kenosha filed a petition with the
