DUTCH SHIP T%oRPEDOED.

London. The British steamhip

Steamship Company, Limited, of Lon
Steamship Company, Limited, of Lon
captain and her crew of twenty-four
men were saved and have been land
ed in England.
A Lloyds despatch from Ymuiden,
Holland, says the Dutch steamship
Lodewijk van Nassau has been sunk.
She went down in six minutes. Five
of her crew were drowned. Thirty
six survivors have been landed at
Ymuiden.
All the crew were Dutch subjects.
The five who were drowned met their
death by jumping out of the ships
boats, which were nearly filed with
water. The survivors say the steam
ship, which had been held up for a
long time by the British authorities,
was released and was sunk a few
hours later.
The Germans heavily bombarded
the French positions on all the fronts
around Verdun, the fire being espe-
cially intense against LIE Mort
Homme, northwest of the fortress,
and in the sector from the eastern
bank of the Mouse to Fort Vaux.
Not many hours after the news had
been flashed to various European cap
itals, excerpts from comments of the
afternoon papers in Berlin and Vienna
were received. All admit that Rus
sian aid on the western front, while
generally expected in the early part
OF the war, had been entirely unex-
pected at this time.
The landing of the Russian troops
ESQ miles. Figuring on an average
speed of twelve knots the trip must
have taken the transports about 81
days.

MEXICAN

A messenger has reached Ojinaga,
with the report that Villa is at Aqua
Chill, on. the Vicenti ranch, with 200
followers.
American troops are to remain in
Mexico indefinitely. This was deter
mined when President Wilson approx
ed recommendations by Major General
Frederick Funston for a redisposition
of the forces composing the United
States punitive expedition.
General Funston ordered 1900 addi-
tional troops to the American army
base at Columbus, n. M, for service
in Mexico. The men are needed to
strengthen General Pershing's forces
in the field.
The Mexican Ambassador at Wash
fngton has been instructed to serve
a new demand ON the United States
for the withdrawal of the punitive
expedition.

Bad Bosses Recominu GOOD.

Now that the colonel has made up
with Elihu Root, who, more than any
other man, helped to deprive MIN of
the Republican nomination in 1912,
the day of the grand reconciliation
with Penrose, Barnes ct al, LOOMS
brightly in the near future. For be it
remembered that in the Roosevelt
theory of politics a boss is bad only
when he opposes the wishes of the ex-
president. When Penrose supported
him in 1904 and rolled up an unprece-
denied majority in Pennsylvania no
words were too warm to express the
gratitude of the White House. And
Boise Penrose is the same in 1912 as
in 1904. Theodore Roosevelt, it may
be remarked, is also unchanged. For
tunately the people have taken his
measure in the intervening twelve
years, and they can better estimate
the sincerity of his politics now.-Phil-
adelphia Record.

the nomination of Robert F. Wagner
to be Postmaster at New York. Mr..

President Wilson's warning to Ger

by the President in an address to a

ton in the Senate.

GERMAN ARTILLERY ACTIVE

London.-Battles of heavy proper
tons have been in progress in all the
war theatres except the Balkans.
Successes for the Entente Allies and
the Teutonic Allies have varied.
On the Verdun front, where for two
months the Germans and French have
been almost continuously in battle, the
Germans, according to an estimate OF
the French War Office, up to April %,
had used thirty divisions, or about 6O0,-
600 men, in the fighting or in reinforc-
ing units which suffered heavy losses.
The Germans claim the capture of
French trenches in the Verdun region
southeast of Haucourt and west of
Dead Mans Hill, while Paris records
the taking of several German posts in
the Avocourt Wood. Hill 304 is again
under the heavy bombardment of the
Germans.
Artillery duels have everywhere
featured the fighting in France and
Belgium, being particularly severe on
the Belgian sector between Newport
and DiXmude and south of the Somme
wher the French artillery has concen-
trated its fire on German trenches.
Trenches taken by the Germans
from the British on the Langemaark-
Ypres road have been evacuated owing
to floods, which made their ~consolida-
ton impossible.
The Germans are still using their big
guns against the Ikskull Bridgehead on
the Russian front and farther south
have repulsed a Russian attack in the
Lake NarocZ region. TIL eanrihilation
of a German scouting party neal Lake
Vygonovskoye and the destruction of
an Austrian post north of Czartorysk
are told of in the Petrograd official
communication. Ten German aero
planes have bombed the Russian avia-
ton station or Osel Island, in the Gul
of Riga at the entrances to the Baltic
Sea.

Tables Are Turned.
Ihe tables are turned on the Ger

changed, as the Crown Prince now is
only endeavoring to impede Gen.
Petafn's steady advance. The attacks
mentioned in the official communica-
tons are only the outstanding and
most violent moments of continuous
day and night fighting.
Since the French counter offensive
the opposing lines are quite close and
within grenade throwing range. The
crown Princes divisions are harassed
without respite and they are being
driven back yard by yard.
THE rival infantries really are
locked in a life and death struggle.
Hand-to-hand fighting is resorted to
more frequently and more iercely
than ever before.
Liquid Flames vainIy Used.
THE German infantry vainly is en-
deavoring with liquid flames to coun-
ter French supremacy with the
bayonet. The recent Verdun fighting
gave so much evidence of the para
mount Importance of bayonet fencing
for infantry that the high command
issued instructions to the French de-
pots and training camps to give in
creased time to bayonet instructions"

German battle cruisers and liuht
cruisers raided the English east

men,, a woman and a child in their
beds.
British warships attacked German DO
sitlons on the Belgian coast in one
OF the heaviest bombardments of the
war. Zeebrugse and the batteries
off Heyst, Blankenberghe and

inflicted at Zeebrugge is enormous.
Another Zeppelin raid was made on
eastern counties of England, three
machines taking part in the attack
and dropping incendiary bombs.
The fighting between the Russians
and the Germans and Austrians
along the eastern front continue at
various points, and in the Austro-

Germans Driven Back in Lorraine --RepuIsed with Big
Losses After Getting FOothoId in French Trenches
Fierce Artillery DueIs in Verdun
BOTH BERLIN AND PARIS ARE CLAIMING SUCCESSES

Paris.-The Germans fought their
way into the French trenches on part
of the salient at La Chapelotte, in
Lorraine, in an infantry attack with
big forces, but were almost immedi-
ately driven out with heavy losses.
This was the only point ON the
western front where the infantry was
engaged.
Around Hill No. 304 and in the re-
gion of Esnes and Cumieres, north
west of Verdun, the bombardment by
both sides is incessant and intense.
To the east of Verdun, around Mou-
lainville, there also has been a vio-
lent bombardment.
In the Argonne the French have
destroyed with their guns a German
post and shattered a German trench
over a small front.
Unusual aerial activity was reported
from all the war theatres. Four Ger
man machines were brought down in
battles reported by Paris. The Brit
ish lost one machine in an encounter
with Zeppelin raiders. A German sea-
plane was destroyed off Zeebrugge by
a British a~eroplane. The German avi-
ators shot down an aeroplane near
Tahure and another east of the Meuse.
On the eastern front, near Garbu-
novka, the Russians made a heavy at
tack against the Germans. Berlin
says they were repulsed with great
losses.
Heavy artillery engagements still
are in progress in the upper Corde-
vole and Monte San Michele zones
of the Austro-Italian front.
The British official communication
from Mesopotamia says the British
still are holding their lines on the
right bank of the Tigris against the
Turks, and have somewhat extended
them at one point by driving in the
Turkish pickets.

Republicans for Wilson.

Every straw vote for president
among Republicans in the West re-
veals at a considerable distance from
the bottom the name of Woodrow Will
son. If the choice were between Mr..
Wilson and any n of the Republic
ans, there is reason to believe that the
vote for the Democrat would be very
much larger. We have in this situa-
ton an epitone of the problem that
confronts the opposition to the adj
ministration. First, there is the diff
ficulty of uniting upon any one candi-
date. Secondly, is the certainty that
there are plenty of Woodrow Wilson
Republicans.
