BRITISH ADVANCE AGAINST IEuTONS
 10 lC-MILE DEPTH Douai and Country it Domi- mates Is Threatened as
 Result of Success. CANADIANS, TAKE
 ANOTHER VILLAGE Germans Lose Heavily in Dead, Wounded and Prisoners, According to London, Though Berlin Claims
 British Were Repulsed.
Associated Press Summary.)

(ASSOclateu PfeSS SummaTy.)
 British troops in desperate at tempt to turn the northern wing of the Grocourt Queant line, have ad vanced on a front of Dearly 10 miles and have captured the village of Ar leux en Gohelle, nine miles west of Douai
 The most violent fighting marked the battle and successive German counter attacks, made at heavy sac rifice, failed to dislodge the British. To the Canadians, conquerors of ing Arleux, two miles from the Que ant line and east of the Vimy ridge. In a brilliant assault they took the village. German counter attacks failed to move them and in hand to hand fighting the attackers were driven back.
 This encounter, in which bayonets and rifle butts were used, marked the fighting along the left of the bat tie front and east of the Vilny ridge.
 South, across the Scarpe from Monche La PreuX, Field Marshal Haigs men gained ground northeast  Roeux, and north of Monchy le PreuS.
 In addition to the heavy sacrifices in killed and wounded, the Germans lost 800 prisoners.
 The capture of Arleux widens con- siderably the British salient into the German position east of Douai, the objective of the fighting. It threat ems, too, the southern defenses of Lens, as well as the village of Gro- court, at the northern end of the line on which military experts say the Germans have pinned their hopes for the safety of Douai and the region it commands.
 Berlin declares the British attacks all failed under German fire and British losses were great.
 It adds the attempt to break through the German line failed com pletely."
 Further south, between st. Quentin and the Disc, the French kept Ger mans busy with intensive artillery bombardments.
 A heavy artillery duel also is in progress in Champagne, but no in- fantry fighting of importance was reported along that part of the front, occupied by French troops.
 Significance of an important mill : tary move in Germany was seen in the closing of the German-Swiss frontier to travellers and in the postal service.
 Reports that the premier of Bava- ria, Count Hertling, will go to Vienna to discuss peace proposals with the Austro-Hungarian cabinet, have come from Munish.

 TAKE A TUMBLE
 FROM HIGH LEVEL
Big Breaks Follow An nouncement British Have
 Sufficient Supply.

Chicago, April 2S.-Speculative wheat prices withered away today, on receipt of an announcement that the British government had received suf- ficient supplies for the present, in cluding most of the stock at Winni- peg.
 Before the collapse, a bushel of wheat at Chicago. for immediate de- livery commanded $3.14. far in ex- cess of anything obtained, even on a paper money basis, during the Civil war.
 Breaks ranged from 15 to 20 cents, with the greatest downfall at Winni- peg. where three censors were placed in the wheat pit.
 Experts agreed there is enough wheat in America to supply all do- mestic requirements until the new crop is available, inside of two months.

Hastings, Colo, April 28--Helmet crews continued today their efforts to penetrate the debris in the A,merf- can Fuel company's mines, in vain hope that living man among the 119 was entombed in the explosion yes- terday. z
