RENEW OFFENSIVE
 ON WESTERN FRONT
CAPTURE IMPORTANT POSITIONS IN REGION OF LENS SOUTH
 WARD OF HAVRINCOURT.
1,2OO GERMANS CAPTURED
Return of Good Weather To the West ern Front Has Brought About Re- newed Aerial Activity and Many
 Battles in the Air.

New York.-Again the British have begun fierce attack from the region of Lens couthward to the Havrincourt wood and, according to the London War Office, have been successful at various points in capturing important German positions. In addition, more than 1,200 Germans were captured. Both north and south of the Scarpe river, the British have materially ad- vanced at several points toward Douai. North of the river, the village of Gavrelle and positions two and a half miles long south of the village were captured, while south of the stream they took the line of the Ger mans on a wide front south and east of Monchy-le-Preux, and captured the villages of Gavrelle and Guemappe.
 Further to the south the entire vil- lage of Trescaulte and the greater part of the Havrincourt wood now is in the hands of General Haig's forces. On the northern end of the battle line additional progress has been made southwest of Lens, seemingly placing that important town in great jeopardy.
 The last Berlin official communiea- ton says the British attack on the Arras front broke down with heavy losses. Berlin admits the penetration Of German trenches on a front of 500 yards northwest of Lens, but says the British later were expelled in a eoun- ter-attack
 Northeast of Soissons, between the Aisne and the Chemin des Danes, the French have further advanced their line, but elsewhere on the French front artillery duels have predominat- ed. Sunday night the Germans tried. but without success, to penetrate French positions, notably east of Cra- onne in the Champagne, near St. Mi hiel and in the Vosges mountains.
 A return of good weather to the western front has brought about re- newed aerial activity and many battles in the air. Sunday French airmen, in aerial engagements, shot down six enemy alrplanes. A similar number fell prey to British aviators, while 15 others were driven down out of con- trol. Anti-aircraft guns disposed of another German airplane and seven kite balloons.
 Berlin reports that German air- men forced down Il entente machines and destroyed four captive balloons. The British War Office admits tdat seven British airplanes failed to re- turn.

 Normally only about eighty minutes is occupied in crossing the sound to Copenhagen. but of late the journey takes two hours, following a route q long way north of Saltholm. The sound today is one great mine field, Swedish, Danish and German. Like the great belt, it's international waters-the mid strait channel-are netted by the Ger mans to keep the allies submarines out of the Baltic. The crossing of the sound in these days is not without it's hazards, for mines are always break ing loose and drifting into the tortuous shipping lanes. A few weeks ago all the steamship communication between Denmark and Malmo ceased for some days, so numerous were the stray mines. All the time nowadays the steamers cross with lifeboats swung out, ready for emergency.

PETITION OF UNION SAND AND MATERIAL COMPANY OF

Suit Originated in Desha County State Obtained Judgment And On Appeal To Arkansas Supreme
 Court Was Affirmed.

hltllC 1hC1h-
 Attorney General Arbuckle received a telegram from the clerk of the Unit ed States Court stating that the court had denied the petition of the Union Sand and Material Company of Mem phis for writ of certiorari for review of a case in which the State of Arkan- sas obtained a s39,000 judgment.
 The judgment was obtained for sand and gravel taken from the Mississippi River between the Arkansas shore and the center of the stream. The action means that the judgment must be paid without further delay.
 The suit originated in Desha conn- ty. The state obtained the judgment and on appeal to the Arkansas Su- preme Court the action was affirmed. E. A MeCulloea. chief justice of the Supreme Court. refused to grant an appeal. Notice was given that a pc tion for a writ of error would be filed with the United States Supreme Court. Instead, a petition for writ of cer- tiorari was filed.
 HIS was deD1eu ny Jie Ohilcu States Supreme Court. Two federal questions were raised by the Memphis company, one was that the act of 1913, placing a tax on sand and gravel re- moved from streams and lakes by cor porations, was in conflict with the fed- eral constitution in that individuals were permitted to take such material without charge.
 The other question was that the War Department had authorized the com pany to take the sand and gravel, thus eliminating state jurisdiction. The state held that it controlled sand and gravel lying in the Mississippi River between the Arkansas shore and the center of the stream.
