Fierce Fiaht at Avocourt.

London, April 1.-The Germans de-

sides of the village Of Malancourt

from the village proper, which was in
ruins, but continue to hold its out

Tee German infantry assault was
preceded by a violent bombardment'
Long INTO the night the big guns con-
tinued to rain their steel upon the
Ere ] position before the infantry
wa. ..urIed forward. The Teutons
rolled forward in mass formation,
wave upon wave of men. Overhead
the sky was lighted up with star
bombs.
The Germans again tried to carry
by assault the position which the
French had won back in the Avocourt
wood, but they were repulsed. East
Of the Mouse the night was calm.
1t is now definitely known, says a
Paris despatch, that the kaiser Is EN-
ployiag at least 100000 men on the

hopeless effort to carry the place by

the star shells, the Teutons battled
desperately to get close enough to fire
through the loopholes, but as they did

SAY BERLIN UPHOLDS
HORSE SHIP ATTACK
ToTpedOing Of Manchester En-

Washington, April President Viii
son and his cabinet again discussed
the submarine situation at length.
In the absence of a report from the
American ambassador at Berlin, James
Gerard, no decisive action was taken
Mr.. Gerard received instructions
four days ago to inquire of the Ger

Sussex and several other merchant
ships carrying American citizens.
The other vessels involved are the
Englishman, the horseship on which
one American lost his lite; the Man
chester Engineer, attacked On her way
from Philadelphia TO Hull, and the
Eagle Point.
Despite the failure of Mr.. Gerard to
report up. to this time, it is under
stood word has reached Washington
that Germany has furnished informa
ton to the ambassador dealing with
the reports that her submarines again
"have been running amuck" agains,
merchant vessels, both armed and un
armed.
This information now on the way by
cable, is understood to defend the
sinking of certain of the vessels at

their refusal to stop on signal. This
Is said to be especially the case sc
far as the Manchester Engineer and
the Englishman are concerned.
In the case OF the Sussex Germany
admits that the situation seems seri
Gus if it shall be shown that the steam
ship was actually torpedoed, but taa'
so far the admiralty has no informa
ton that this was done. However, Il
it is so demonstrated Germany will
take steps that will satisfy the United
States even through the submarine
officer responsible may assert that he
histook the vessel for transport.

THE COMING ZIONIST CONVENTION

tlnulng to uly 5th. the Zl0nlsts OF
America will hold their Convention
in the city Of Philadelphia.
The Zionists are organized for the
purpose of re-establishing the eW-
isl people as a nation in Palestine.
In a pamphlet entitled THE Jewish
Problem-How to Solve It, the
leader OF the movement, Mr. Louis
D. Brandeis. Of Boston, outlines the
objects OF Zionism as follows
"Zionism seeks to establish in
Palestine. for such Jews as choose
to 90 and remain there, and for their
descendants, legally secured home,
where they may live together and
lead a Jewish life, where they may
expect ultimately to constitute
majority Of the population, and
NAV look forward to what we
should call home rule. The Zion
lists seek to establish this home IN
Palestine because they are con-
WINGED that the undying longing OF
Jews for Palestine is fact OF deep
est significance; that it is a mani
festation in the struggle for exist
ence by an ancient people which had
established it's right to live-a peo-
pie whose three thousand years OF
civilization has produced a faith,
culture and individuality which en-
able them to contribute largely IN
the future, as they had iii the past,
to the advance Of civilization; and
that it is not right merely but a
duty Of the Jewish nationality to
survive and develop. They believe
that there only can Jewish life be
fully protected from the forces Of
disinteg ration; that there alone can
the Jewish spirit reach its full and
natural development; and that by Sc
curing for these Jews who wish to
settle in Palestine the opportunity
to do so, not only those ews, but all
other Jews, will be benefited, and
that the long-perpleXing Jewish
problem will. at last, find solution"
The most important Of the Zion
list organizations which will come
for this Convention is the Provision
al Executive Committee for Zionist
Affairs. This body was organized
August 3Oth. 1914, less than a
month after the outbreak Of the
present war, and was created in
order to take up the work of the In
ternational Zionist Organization.
The creation of the Provisional
Committee was made necessary by

two schools that failed to score.
Despite the Indictment weather. the
events were witnessed by a fairly good
crowd. All of the events went on on

deserve much credit for the manner In
which they handled the meet. The

his assistant, which preceded the track
events, was especially interesting, and
much credit is due both the boys and
their instructors. The fencing match
between Messrs. Jones and OLeary
also attracted considerable attention.
1t may be safely said that the track
meet last night was the most success
full one ever held by the elementary
schools Of Richmond.
One Of tho outstanding features OF
the meet was the performances OF the
boys representing Paramount school
The East Enders were entered In nine
OF the ten events. and they managed
TO get places In every one OF them.
Paramount took three frst places. two

BY INNS BROWN.

New York, Dec. 15.-By dropping
their act to a two-a-day. the National
League magnates managed to close
their annual engagement this after
noon. Four days were required for
the completion OF their affairs. Cities
have been sacked and kingdoms
wrecked in less time. However, be
IL taid that the two sessions of today
produced more results than have been
the wont in previous sessions. Two
matters of vital interest to the well
fare of baseball were taken up.
These were q reimbursement of the
division of the players share of the
receipts In the annual worlds series
between the pennant winners of the
two major leagues, and the new form
of contract under which players will
work.
Concerning the worlds series. 1t was
proposed that different basis for
dividing the players part of the gate
receipts be made. Instead of having
the players of the two teams alone
participate in the purse. II was pro-
posed that the other players also get
a share conditioned on the final stand
ings of their clubs.
This move is praiseworthy one,
for the reason that teams finishing
well up in the race will also partici-
pate in the benefits of the big series.
This means that there will always be
an incentive for the fellows in lowly
positions to keep plugging in the hope
Of lettering their standing so that
they may qualify for a split in the
extra money.
New Form of Contract.
The new form of contract was not
given out. However, it Is known that
many changes are TO be made from the
document which has obtained for the
past few years. And In connection
with these changes Il was stated that
the draft OF the new document as
presented at the meeting contained one
clause which was strang ely out of limo
with the general trend of the changes
anticipated
In drafting the new contract. the
attorney employed for the Job nclud-
cd a clause which provided that play
ers dissatisfied with the terms offered
them might refer their troubles to the
National Commission. Garry Herr
mann, president of that body. prompt
~ saw that his board would surely
be flooded with flock Of protests. Ac-
cordingly. the American League was
consulted on the matter and 1t was
learned that Johnson's circuit in their
SHitaEo htfLlliR EipilapNts
ated the provision.
The clause was accordingly crossed
out and the new form referred to the
National Commission. This body Is
TO review the document and refer 1t
back with its recommendations.
SO far as can be learned. the new
agreement does away with the IRON
clad contract so popular with players
in the last few years. One provision
which will hurt considerably IS that
TO force a player sent from the major
leagues to the minors to make terms
with the latter. This will do away
with the practice OF having major
league club make UP any deficiency
between a minor league contract and
