Surprise Turned on Germans.

Paris. Oc. 12.-The official state ment issued from the war office to- night says:
 During the day the artillery was very active in the sector of Moulin de Lafaux and in the region of Craonne.
 Further information concerning the enemy's surprise attacks last night in the region of Souain and Auberive, which we repulsed. show that they were carried out by heavy electives and were preceded by a bombardment of 36 hours. Three attacks were made by attachments of about 40 men each, including shock troops and pio- neers. They were received by our ar tillery fire and the fire of our ma chine guns. These attacks resulted in lively engagements in which we clear ly showed our superiority. The enemy left ten prisoners in our hands. The enemy's losses were very heavy.'

Oesel and Dago islands are at the entrance to the Gulf of Riga and provide easy access to the mainland over small intermediate islands. They are off the coast of the Russia prov ince of Esthonia. Dago Is about 200 miles from Petrograd. It's position derives additional importance from the fact that it is almost at the mouth of the Gulf of Finland, at the mouth of which is Kronstadt, which defends Petrograd. The landing of German troops in Esthonia would threaten the outflanking of Russian line and probably compel a retreat on wide line of the front and maybe open the way to Petrograd. A railway line fol- lows the coast all the way from Hap sal to Petrograd.
 Oesel island, the larger of the two, is 45 miles long and has an area of 1.010 square miles and population of about 60,000. It has g. difficult coast line in the form of precipitous lime stone cliffs.

X. 0. MEALY PLANS
OUTBOXING
Lad With Knockout Wallop
Believes He Can Win
on Points
AT OLYMPIA A. A. TONIGHT
BY LOUIS H. JAFFE

Johnny Mealy doesn't have to admit that
he is the hardest puncher of his weight
and inches in Philadelphia. This opinion
is almost unanimous with followers of fist-
cuffs here. With this decision il was sur
prising to learn this morning that Mealy
didn't plan to win from Johnny Dundee by
box in the star scrap at the Olympic to-
night and the Phladelphian might just as
well have set off a bomb as announce that
he was GOING TO OUTPOINT DUNDEE.
Bobby Gunnis manager chief adviser and
spokesman for Mealy. placed himself on
record by predicting that his protege would
bring home the bacon as it were and it
wouldn't be Johns wallop but superior
science that would turn the trick. 1t
doesn't sound reasonable or even natural
yet Gunnis believes that Mealy will box
better than Dundee, and be the victor on
points.
To well, how about knockout 2"

credit Of Mealy, but not until after Johnny

SCHEDULED FOR MAY Il

LOUISVILLE April 16.-Local trainers
and racing enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting
the arrival at Churchill Downs of A, K
Macomber's extensive racing establishment
They are anxious to view the five Derby
candidates embraced in the string and draw
comparisons between them and the other
thrce-year-olds that are now in training at
the local tracks for the big race The
stable. in charge of Walter B. Jennings. is
due to arrive from Charleston $, C., not
later than tomorrow.
This curiosity is intensified by the fact
that North Star III. the English colt that
cost Macomber Eood-sized fortune. is one
of the lot that Trainer Jennings will bring
here. This son of Sunstar and Angelic was
regarded as the best two-year-old seen in
England last year, and his record in that
country makes him the most formidable
of the eastern-owned aspirants for the
$50 .000spurse to be decided the afternoon
OF MAJ 12.
His victory at Newmarket last fall over
Molie Desmond, daughter of the cele-
brated Pretty Polly. in the Middle Park
Plate, alone entities him to serious consid-

IN that race he carried 126 pounds and
won in a drive, after coming from behind.
1t is generally conceded that had the son
of Sunstar remained in England he would
rule a winter book favcrte in the forth

AS it is, North Star III is at present re-
garded with much FAVOR to WIN tnls years

Charleston, he has wntered in splendid

on American soil when the bugle calls the
