at the department of justice Y
Bopp was reported TO be ND
under the Sherman antitrust law and
under the section of the penal code
which forbids the conspiracy to set on
foot military expeditions from the
United States against a friendly ma

that this section was resorted to be-
cause Of alleged plans against Canada.
Twenty indictments were returned

GERMANS CLAIMING GAINS
Offensive Against French Line Results
In Capture Of 300 Yards-Prepar.
ing For a Drive.

London.-A great artillery battle
along the whole western front on
tinues day and night. The point OF
most intense activity is in the Neu-
Vile sector. just below the Belgian
border, where the Germans have swept
over the first line French positions
on a front Of 500 yards.
Extensive and violent as the west
ern fighting is, evidences accumulate
showing that this is but the prelude
to an attempt on both sides to secure
a decision in France and Flanders.
A dispatch from Berne quotes the
Berlin Vossische Zeitung as saying
that the Germans are aware that a
big Franco British offensive is plan
ned in Artois and that the Germans
are fully prepared"
An Amsterdam dispatch gives a re-
port from the Belgian frontier that
coo, 900 Germans have been sent to
that front, not only as a preparation
against the allies offensive, but with
which to launch a great Teutonic
drive.
The German intention, it is said, is
to attempt q crushing offensive along
the channel coast and to capture Dun
kirk. AS one move in this attempt,
the Amsterdam report says, the Ger
mans are planning an extension Of
the Belgian port Of Zeebrugge so it
will shelter more warships, which, 1t
is said, have been constructed on the
canal leading to Bruges.
A German gain reported in the Ber-
lin official report was made at vimy,
near the western end Of the French
front. vimy is two miles northwest
of Melville, near which the Germans
late in January captured, 500 yards

There was no indication whether

tory or unsatisfactory.
President Wilson took UP with his
cabinet the latest draft Of the pro-
posed communication which Germany
hopes will bring the negotiations over
the Lusitania disaster to a termina-
ton satisfactory to the United States.
Official indication or announcement
whether the offer Of the Berlin gov
eminent is satisfactory is expected
soon.
Administration officials let it be
known that q mere choice of words
would not be permitted to stand in
the way of success Of the negotiations,
and that the United States would not
insist on the use OF the word illegal"
or '~disavowal," In Germany's acknowl.
edgment that the sinking of the liner
without warning and the loss of 115
American lives was wrong. This an
nouncement was taken as strengthen
ing the optimistic atmosphere which
surrounds the negotiations and pos
sibly leaving open the way to on
tinued negotiations.
The principal consideration of the
United States now Is that there shall
be an acknowledgment by Germany
that the sinking Of al unresisting e
chairman without warning is in con-
travention Of naval warfare and shall
be permanently discontinued. The
German conention Is that such assur-
ances already have been given in the
Arabic case and that all that remains
in the Lusitania case is reparation
for the lives Of neutrals and an &C.
acknowledgement that 1t was wrong to
destroy them.

state department that the position of

The war, he said, had thrust Amer

which America needed sorely, he said.
One Of them related to the tariff.
