Springtime is such pleasant time

More Than 81, 500

As Jake Armijo, one of the owners
of the saloon at Second street and
Atlantic avenue, stepped out of the
place shortly before 2 o'clock this
morning two men attacked him, took
between S1,500 and $4,000 in checks,
silver and gold from him and es-
capped.
DR.. John F. Pearce, who was call
ed to treat Armijo, said the attack
ers apparently had used knife and
club. Armiio received two scalp
wounds, neither of which Is serious.
One extends from the top Of his head
to the right eyebrow. This evidently
was inflicted with knife, said the
doctor. The other wound, on top of
his head, apparently was caused by
la blow from club.
Armijo said he struck one of the
men with a bag of coins and dazed
him for a second. The man recover
ed quickly. however, and fled with
his companion. Armijo told the po-
lice that he believed the two were
natives Of old Mexico. They had
been loafing about the saloon late
Tuesday night, he said,
The men got $500 in checks,
said Armijo, besides two bags, one
of which contained silver and the
other gold. He was unable to say
how much gold and silver he had.

GERMANS SUFFER HEAVILY
IN ATTACKS ON BRITISH

London, May Is G0:59 p. m.)--
The official report from British
headquarters in France issued tonight
says:
Further details concerning the
fighting at Bulleoourt this morning
show that the enemy made a delib-
crate attempt by series of strong
and carefully concerted attacks, pow
erfully supported by artillery and
trench mortar fire, to drive our troops
out of Bullecourt and the section OF
the Hindenburg line held by us east
OF the village.
'In all, four attacks were under
taken by the enemy. The first OF
these was launched at 4 a. m. upon
the right flank of our position in the
Hindenburg line and temporarily
gained a footing in our trenches. The
enemy was Immediately and com.
pletely elected by our counter-attacA.
leaving $50 killed and wounded in
our lines. A simultaneous attack on
the left flank of our position was dis
persed by our artillery.
Later in the morning q third at
tack was made upon the northern
eastern corner of Bullecourt. This
was successfully repulsed. The fourth
attack, delivered from the south and
southwest. succeeded in driving back
our posts in the western portion OF
the village for distance Of about
100 yards. The enemy's losses in this
series of unsuccessful attempts were
heavy.
Two German airplanes were
brought down in the air fighting
yesterday. another hostile machine

What had everywhere been thought
to be commencement of strong Of
fensive by the Germans against the
British along the Lens-St. Quentin
line and the French from the region
northwest of Scissors into Cham
payne, apparently was only one of the
sporadic counter-attacks which the
Germans have been throwing against
the fronts since the spring offensive
began
Around Bullecourt the intensive
fighting which has been going on for
more than week continues unabated,
the Germans throwing assault after
assault against the British. Tuesday
four of these were launched, the Ger
mans losing in all of them except the
last, when their troops drove back
the British in the western portion of
the village for distance of about
100 yards.
Along the front held by the French,
artillery actions prevailed throughout
Tuesday, the Germans failing to fol-
low up their infantry attacks of Mon
day, in which the French war office
says they suffered heavy losses
The Italians have assumed the Of
fensive against the Austrians in the
Isonzo region along front of nearly
twenty-five miles. Following ex-
tremely ticary homkardmnnts. the
Italians loosed their infantry in from

progress at various points. The bat
tie is still in progress.
Another success by the Greek revo-
lutionary troops, fighting side by side
with the French forces in Macedonia,
is recorded by Paris, two works ex-

yards having been captured and held
in the face of counter-attacks.

and conservatives could wiring from
him any word concerning Germany's
desires. He indicated that the time
for an exposition of Germanys peace
ideas was not ripe and that meantime
