ATTACKS AND COMMENTATORS

London.-After having pushed back
the French lines along the westerly
bend Of the salient in the Malancourt
region, northwest of Verdun, the Ger
mans have desisted for the present
from further efforts to advance there.
Farther TO the west, however, the
Crown Princes infantry has again
been counter-attacking in the Avocourt
wood, several assaults having been
launched in efforts to retake the po-
sitions recently lost to the French,
Paris declares. however, that the at.
tempts were fruitless.
Fighting is still going on between
the British and Germans along the
British end of the French line, par.
ticularly near St Eloi, where Ger
man grenade throwers have succeed
ed in retaking a portion of a mine
crater held by the British.
From Petrograd it is reported that
the Russian offensive maneuvers along
the Dvinsk-Riga front, although appar.
emily local in character and unimport-
ant as compared with more sweeping
spectacular movements which have
marked warfare on the eastern front,
have already rendered the carefully
constructed positions of Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg less secure and
will it is thought determine the
course of the coming spring campaign.
Berlin says the big offensive of the
Russians in the region Of Postavy has
ceased and that the Russians also
have given up their attacks around
Lake Narocz.

WORK ON APPALACHIAN
HIGHWAY To BEGIN
First Link To Be Built From EIkins
Toward Oakland.

W. E. G. Hitchins, of Frostburg, an
officer of the National Old Trails As
ISOLATION, has recently been appointed
ce-president of the Appalachian High
way Association. He will represent
the State of Maryland in this organiza-
ton, which was formed to promote the
early completion of the proposed
Appalachian Highway, which is to ex-
tend from Name to Louisiana. 1t is
one of the newest propositions of the
great through routes to attract public
attention. The project was launched
at the Southern Appalachian Good
Roads convention held in Bluefield, W.
Va, last October. The route selected
begins at Calais, Maine, and runs via
Bangor, Name, Montpelier, Vermont,
Lake George and Albany, New York,
Williamsport, Pa, Oakland, Md, FL
kins and Bluefield, W. Va, Bristol,
Tenn, Asheville, N. c., Birmingham,
Ala, to New Orleans. The route fol-
lows the chain of the Appalachian
Mountains, and it is claimed that the
highway will be the most beautiful,
from a scenic standpoint, to be found
anywhere in America.
A link of this road, % miles long,
will be built this spring at a cost of
1920, coo, from Elkins, W. Va, in the
direction of Oakland Elkins being on
the main line of the Appalachian High
way. this new link, whenever complet-
ed to Oakland, will place this town in
close touch with great north and south
motor route as well as beirg on one of
the famous Old Trails road running east
and west.

FIVE zEPPELINs MAKE RAID ON ENGLISH SEA COAST

London.-Malancour a strongly for
tilted village nine miles northwest OF
Verdun, was captured by the Germans
when the Crown Prince resumed his
furious assaults on both sides of the
River Mouse. An attack from three
sides by massed German legions drove
the French out of the village, an i'm
portant highway communication point,
but the French still hold redoubts
commanding the highways. The bat
tie continued all night.
The German War Office announced
that not only the village but French
defensive positions on both sides of
It were captured and that the Germans
took 32S prisoners.
The French hold on the village Of
Bethincourt. two miles east of Malan-
court was seriously threatened by the
capture of Malancourt. 1t appears
certain that the next great German
attack on the west bank of the Mouse
will be directed against Bethincourt.
South of Malancourt the Crown
Prince met with defeat in a renewal
of his efforts to clear the French out

failed in attacks against French
works near Haudiamont, southeast Of
Verdun.
In an aerial fight in the region Of
Arras and Bapaume the British lost
three b.planes. Two OF their occu-
pants were dead. Lieutenant Immel-
mann thus accounted for his thir-
teeuth enemy aeroplane, Berlin stated.
The city OF Verdun was set ablaze
in three parts. The village Of Belle
vile, northeast of Verdun, was also
fired by German shells.
The French attempted to relieve
the pressure on Verdun by attacking
the German front between Rheims and
the Argonne. using poisonous gas. A
German artillery officer declared the
attack was stopped wholly by artil-
lery. In four hours, ne said. his guns

The entertainment given at Wilson

a perfect success in every respect.
Although the house was over crowded,
the best of order prevailed and the
audience was kept entertained for three
hours. The plays and funny farces
brought roars of laughter, as also did
the number of splendid readings which
were given. Very fine music was
furnished by MIR. and Mrs. Frank
Dewitt and daughter. The efficient
teacher, Miss Naomi Lohr, and pupils
of the community certainly deserve
great credit for the interest taken and
the able rendition of the program max

London.-For the third time in as

The regret with which the British

devastation was tempered by the
knowledge that It had cost one of
the enemy's precious zeppelins. So
the shock at the knowledge that raid

when It became known that for the
first time a British airman has been
able to cope successfully with the

Lieutenant Alfred Brandon. r. F.

STOPPED BY FRENCH FIRE.

London.-The Germans TO the north
west OF Verdun in an infantry attack
launched with huge electives have
gained additional ground against the
French north of Malancourt and have
even penetrated the northwest corner
OF the village.
The attempts OF the Teutons to car
~ their advance further, however
were stopped by the French fire, as
also were three counter attacks
against the position in the Avoncourt
Wood. south of Malancourt, which had
previously been taken from them by
a French infantry attack. The Ger
man official communication says that
the advance OF the Germans north OF
Malancourt was over a front OF more
than mile.
During the German offensive on
Malancourt the French heavy guns
from the Argonne were directing
their fire on the Malancourt and Avo-
court woods.
Aside from the infantry attacks and
counter attacks in this region heavy
bombardment has been in progress
from Avocourt northeastward to
Bethincourt, distance of five miles.
There has also been a continuation
of the sporadic outbursts of artillery
fire to the north and east OF Verdun.
while in the Vosges Mountains the
French batteries have been keeping up
their usual bombardment Of German
organizations.
In the Black Sea littoral the Rus
SLAMS are still making progress against
the Turks.

PITH OF THE
WAR NEWS

The Germans are carrying on strong
offensive operations northeast and
northwest of Verdun. About four
and one-haIf miles northeast of the
fortress they penetrated the Call
lette wood, just outside Fort Douau-
mont after a violent bombardment.
The French have now entirely evacu-
ated the village of Vaux, and have
drawn their lines south of the town,
but in its immediate outskirts.
Aircraft have been very active around
Verdun. The French brought down
three German machines, but Berlin
asserts that the aerial combats have
resulted in their favor.
After capturing the village of MaIan-
court, the Germans were subjected
to an intense artillery fire by the
French and made no attempt to
debouch.
Violent artillery duels have been In
progress between the Belaians and
Germans in the region Of Dixmude.
There has been a noticeable decrease
in the infantry fighting on the Rus
sian front, owing to the soggy
ground due to the spring thaw.
Torpedoing of the Russian hospital
ship Portugal was official announ.
ced. The vessel was sunk while
wounded soldiers were on board.

ROOSEVELT IN The OPEN
All Pretense Dropped By ProgressiveS
Amalgamaiion with G. O. p. Certain.

Local politicians in all three camps
are talking of nothing but the luncheon
Robert Bacon gave on Friday to Colonel
Roosevelt Ex-senator Elihu Root,
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Of Mas.
sachusetts and General Leonard Wood.
Democratic leaders looked upon the
occurrence with frank amazement and
prophesied that it meant the amalgama-
ton Of the Republicans and Progress
sives. Republican leaders, especially
the Old Guard, who are not in the con
tidence Of MIR. Root, tired hard to ex
tract encouragement out Of the situa-
ton from the angle that the Colonel
was prepared to flop backsto the Grand
Old Party. The Progressives were
unrestrainedly jubilant.
About the headquarters of the Pro-
gresslve organization in the Forty
second Street Building, all pretense
that Colonel Roosevelt was not in the
open for the Republican nomination for
President was dropped The leaders
freely declared that the Progressive
National Convention at Chicago would
De merely formal matter, and that
their idol would dominate the Republi-
can convention on the same day. Pro-
gressive headquarters confidently looks
forward to an official announcement to
that effect either from Oyster Bay or
from the Republican organization within
a Few days.
Republican leaders were extremely
cautious in commenting on the luncheon.
Before giving their views, most of them
said they preferred to wait for the
developments of the next few days. 1t
seemed the general opinion among
them, however, that William Barnes,
ancient foe of T. R. and Republican
boss in the State, was not in the coun-
sells of those who participated in the
luncheon, and that fight to dethrone
him had finally started within the Re-
publican organization. Mr.. Barnes
was not visible either at Republican
headquarters or at the Republican Club
all day, but those who met him adj
mitted that he was gloomy. Reached
on telephone, all Mr.. Barnes would say
was: II have no comment to make.
Thank you for calling me. Goodbye"
Former Secretary of War, Henry l..
Stimson, who is a close friend of both
Root and Roosevelt, was the only one
who would put his opinion into words
for quotation. He said:
1.-The voices of the little group of
irreconciIables who promptly seek to
attach their own Interpretation to
yesterdays meeting do not carry far
among the great mass of Republican
voters. What yesterdays meeting
does mean, in my opinion, is that Mr..
Roosevelt is willing to sink past diff
| ferences and irritations in a desire to
present united front of Americanism
in the next campaign, 1t means that
Mr. Roots great speech of February
Is has gone home. 1t means, in my
opinion; that the best qualified states
man to represent this country in this
crisis will be nominated by the Re-
publicans next June and elected in No
vember-an that man is Elihu Root"
