Germans Strike Heavily

The German offensive was
launched against the British lines
southeast Of Arras and to the
south of the Scarpe. The first
drive gave the Germans posses
sion Of a long section Of the first
line trenches, while in one portion
OF this front they gained also a
.foothold in the second line. The
British speedily reformed and
counter attacked, retaking one af-
ter another Of the lost positions,
capturing or discriminating the
German advance troops.
Last night the Germans held
only one Of the trenches they had
taken on Saturday night. g..

IN PRIMARY

Less than one-seventh of the total
Republican and Democratic vote poll
ed last November in the thirty.one
precincts of Richmond had been regis
tered in the city primary election Of
these two parties between $50 and
noon today.
1t is believed that the total vote
cast today will be less than forty per
cent. of the vote cast at the election
last November. Candidates worked
feverishly today in a vain effort to
attract voters to the polls Many men
passing their polling places, going to
and from work, were urged to vote
but fatty refused to. 1t is believed
that the majority of the voters who
participated In the primary today
were Republicans.
The following is table comparing
the vote cast this forenoon with the
vote registered last November.

Neutrals Entitled to Safety.
Furthermore the United States con-
tends now and always has contended
ships are entitled to safety. The dec
laration in the Austrian note that the
principle that neutrals in war time
also should enjoy the advantages of
freedom Of the seas refers only to neu-
trail vessels not to neutral persons
aboard enemy vessels" in no way coin
cides with the positions of the United
States.
Neither is the United States dispos-
ed to permit establishment by Austria
that war on the sea envolving repris-
ais is IAN affair for settlement be-
tween belligerents" when the inter
ests, rights and lives of neutrals are
affected
not make it clear just what intentions
Austria has toward neutral ships.
Stands For Different Principle.
Although the Austrian communica-
ton declares that there obviously is
no reason to allow different principle
for war on land and sea-" the position
of the United States is that different
principles actually do govern because
of different conditions and the United
States has contended and the various
belligerents have, during the course
Of the war, virtually admitted that
during hostiluies international law
cannot be changed without the consent
of all the nations evolved.
Az ~ fhn
ton which undoubtedly will not meet
with the approval of the United States
is that having to do with defensiyely
armed merchant ships. Austria's as
sertion that her previous assurances
did not apply to armed merchant ves-
sells was received with some surprise
The broad declaration that armed
merchantmen "are to be regarded as
pirate vessels which may be destroy
ed" was regarded as being especially
significant in view Of the intention of
the United States regarding armament
for its merchant ships.

PUBLIC DANCES

Public dances arc under the ban in
Richmond
Prosecutor Strayer and Police Chief
Goodwin issued an order prohibiting
them last week
Saturday night marked the end of
the Saturday night dances at K. of P.
hall. Prosecutor Strayer requested
they be abandoned and the directors
acceded.
Numerous complaints have been re-
ceived that girls under the legal age
limit, 16 years, had been frequenting
the public dance halls.
These caused the prosecutor and
police chief to act
