MILK POURED

CHICAGO. April THE dairy
farmers OF northern Illinois made
good their threat today to dump milk
into the bitches rather than to sea 1t
go to Chicago distributors who re-
fused to meet the demand for an In
crease OF twenty-five cents In the
price. @f
That 1t was real strike was dis
covered when the dealers found
their bottling plants picketed by far
mers armed with eggs and other
missiles ready to prevent the delivery
OF milk by non-strlking farmers.
At Mokena, one dairy company
was forced to ask aid Of the sheriff
OF Will county, when strikers began
stopping wagons on the way to its
plant.
The plant of one of the biggest
companies at Huntley was closed In
definitely. 80
Similar reports came from other
points where the great Chicago milk
supply is gathered. At Batavia and
North Aurora 1t was said that 200
farmers gave away $4,000 quarts of
milk rather than deliver 1t at q price
under their demands.
At tho Offices Of the distributors in

The widespread doubt which has

unsuccessful drive at the French po-
sitions northeast OF Hill No. 295, in
the region OF Dead Mans Hill. The
artillery. however. continues activity
in the Malancourt region and further
attempts by the Germans to continue
their drive on the French left flank
are considered probable to occur with
out much delay. %
The German official statement re-
fers only incidentally to the fighting
about verdun, mentioning only ar
tillery duels there and in the Ar
gonne. with other activity by the big
guns on the Aisne front and further
north on the line. A British hand
grenade attack near st. Elols, where
the Germans recently lost some
ground, was repulsed.
Aviators are Busy.
The aviators of both sides on the
Franco-B Belgian front have been busy.
Four French machines fell victim to
German battle aircraft in various en-
gagements.
After period Of bad weather,
flghting has been resumed on the
Austro-1talian front. For the most
part, however, the activities are con-
fined to artillery engagements. and
such infantry clashes as have oc-
Cured have not resulted in changes
Of position.
Barren Of Results.
Berlin summarizes the recent Rus
sian offensive, now apparently at a
standstill, as barren Of results for
Emperor Nicholas's forces. while the
Russian casualties are estimated by
the German headquarters staff to
have been at least 140, 900. More than
100000 men were engaged in the
Russian side. according to Berlin. and
the expenditure of ammunition by
the attacking forces is declared to
have been on an unprecedented scale
for the eastern front. F-
The air raids Of Friday night over
the English east counties were appar-
emily on the most extensive scale yet
attempted by the German Zeppelin
feet. They resulted, according to the
official British reports in the killing
Of twenty-eight persons and injury OF
forty-four, while unofficially 1t is de-
clared that the airships few at such
a height that they were unable to Sc
lect their targets with accuracy, many
OF the seventy-six bombs dropped APP

Raid Feature.
The sensational feature Of the raid
was the falling of damaged Yep

tuary, where It was captured by Brit
ish patrol boats, Its crew surrender

while an attempt was being made to

SURVIVORS RESCUED
BY BRITISH TRAWLER

SHEERNESS, April 1.-Credit for
rescuing the survivors Of the Zeppelin
Lis belongs to the scouting trawler
Divine. commander by Lieutenant
William r. Macintosh. Royal Naval
Reserve, but naval men freely concede
that the credit for bringing the Yep
pelin down belongs TO one of the land
batteries. which may be described as
stationed in an eastern county.
The Zeppelin came down in the
broad mouth Of the Thames, soon after
8 o'clock Saturday morning. That
stretch OF water, as we'll as the adj
joining coast waters, swarms with
patrolling craft. The airships back
had been broken by gunfre; It's gon-
dolas were riddled with shrapnel bull
let's. Several Of its crew were badly
wounded. Its commander had sufic-
tent confidence in the humanity OF
British sailors to send out wireless
signals Of distress. w.
at came down like a sick bird, flop
ping at both ends as if they were
wings" said a sailor who witnessed
the descent of the Zeppelin.
The sea was smooth and the night
was clear, though dark. so the trawler
was able to take aboard wounded as
we'll as unwounded. Some of the crew
were at the. top Of the balloon. while
the wounded and their attendants re-
NAMED in the baskets below.
After all the survivors were aboard
the Divine, the crew of the trawler
attacked a line to the Zeppelin think
Ing they would be able to bring the
prize to port but towing was difficult
as the airship had broken in two. It's
ends stuck up in the air while the
middle section was we'll down in the
water. After making about two miles,
tho Zeppelin became entirely water
logged. s.
The destroyer brought the German
to Sheerness to report and proceeded
with tho prisoners to Chatham, where
the wounded were placed in hospital.

MONTGOMERY COMMENT
 ON NEW SOCIAL EDITOR.

"The announcement that Mrs. George c. Ball of Birmingham has accepted the position of social editor of our paper. and that she will arrive today to take over the work and make her home perma- nently in Montgomery, will be keen de- light to her friends here,' says the Montgomery Journal.
 This was Mrs. Balls home always until Major Balls business necessitated their removal to Birmingham 20 years or more ago. There she quickly became a social leader and her warmth of heart, delightful manner and brilliant attain ment gave her a most enviable position. Journalism is not new field for Mrs. Ball. She was, many years ago, con nected with the Era (Birmingham) and later, when Major Balls business affairs called him to Atlanta, she did editorial and feature work on the Constitution. After her husbands death she went again to Birmingham, where she has been on the staff of the Ledger until year or more ago, when she felt the duties had become too arduous for her strength. Since then she has had the position of
 lady in charge at the Press and Southern clubs in Birmingham and comes to us after a rest from newspaper work-eager to take up her pen for the joy and edif- cation of her readers.
 Until Mrs. Ball has decided upon a permanent residence she will visit her sis- ter, Mrs. Charles F. Ball, on Adams street"

 N Miss Millar used the verse from the epistle to the Corinthians for her fare well plea: Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be ye filled with the Spirit Her instruction was most forceably applied to everyday life. The local board has already planned for an- other series of Bible lectures under Miss Millar's direction next year, in which the entire city will be interested.
