Berne, April Ia (via Paris, 1905
p. m.)-The combination of the bat
tie of Arras and the interview grant
ed by Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
to a Spanish correspondent have fur
nished the Swiss press with food for
seemingly unlimited comment.
Papers published in the French Ian
guage not only give the utmost prom
inence to the British victory, but poul
ridicule upon Won Hindenburg for de-
claring, in the very hour that the en-
tente forces were capturing Germans
by the thousands. that the western
front was secure. These papers also
make sport of the German official
communications. Thus, the Journal
de Geneva, says the dictionary must
be revised if resisting strenuous on
slaughts" is synonymous with the cap
ture of thousands of men, cannon and
machine guns.

~ MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL. LEASED wIRvl

Rome, April IA (via Paris 2:3O p.
m.)-"America must negotiate direct
with Italy concerning loans" was the
statement to the Associated Press to-
day by Signor Scialoia, minister of the
Italian cabinet without portfolio and
a prominent authority on interna-
tional law, Americas entrance into
the war" he said, was greeted with
such enthusiasm in Italy as to indi-
cate that the relations between our
country and America vii, become ever
closer, assuming the character of an
intimate friendship.
Washington in deciding on loans
to be granted the allies for the con-
tinuation of the war should
not let the opportunity escape to ne
gotiate directly with Italy. America
would thus establish a basis for the
subsequent development of the larger
entrance of the United States in COM
mercial and industrial relations with
Italy.
Financially Strong.
"Italy's strong. banking system, in
cludng savings banks and postal saw
ings bank, is not we'll known in Amer
lea. Italy was in prosperous condi-
tion before the war and will resume
her upward movement when peace
comes and it will then be to the ad-
vantage of America if the financial
intercourse between the countries al
ready has been established. America
then should retain a considerable por-
ton of the commercial interests gain
ed in Italy during the conflict and
should take the place of the central
powers in furnishing many products to
our country. Much heretofore has
been done in that line by England and
too little by America, which should
understand that the financial help
given Italy during the war binds the
debtor to the creditor for develop
ment after the war;

FROM STAIR correspondent OF the
Associated Press With the British Ar
mics in France. April IA (via Lon
don, $40 p. m.)-Heavy high ex-
plosive shells were pouring into Lens
late today and were undoubtedly Civ
ing impetus to the German plans to
fall back from that central mining
city, which has been in the hands of
the Germans since the autumn of 1914.
together with the mineral wealth
represented in the surrounding dis
trict. Fires in Lens seen for the first
time yesterday afternoon, were
smouldering today There apparently
was no general conflagration. Time
and time again explosions could be
seen within the eitH
Lens spietehes over several miles,
however, and in far distant parts OF
the city smoke could be observed
pouring from tall chimneys, as if the
industrial activities of the Germans in
the French factories were progressing
as usual. British patrols were press
ing toward the city from all directions
this afternoon.
Sec City of Douai.
From the northern slopes of Vimy
ridge, recently captured from the Ger
mans, it was possible through the
brilliantly clear atmosphere today to
see the spires and chmneys of DOuai,
still German stronghold. Nearer,
Lens seemed to lie almost at the very
foot of the ridge. with its suburb.
LEVIN, sprawling well into the new
British lines. Lens presents strik-
ing contrast to the usual gray white
towns of northern France. 1t appears
in the distance as one great splotch
of red--red walls, red roofs, red CHM
neys-out of which loom the gray
walls and gray towers of the cathed-
raj.
Mine towers dot the surrounding
country almost as thickly as oil der
ricks in the petroleum districts of
America. Great Stag heaps rise here
and there like so many Egyptian pyra-
mids Into and around these red
buildings and Stag heaps shells eX-
ploded throughout the afternoon,
throwing up dense clouds of brick
dust which caught up by the April
storm wind, spreads pmkish-y yellow
pail over the lower sections of the city.
Captured Guns Used.
Above Lens occasional shrapnel
shells broke. With the usual British
white puff balls were mingled dense
ly black puffs, the latter being the
German So shrapnel recently cap
tured and turned against the Ger
mans. Several times previously dur
ing the war, German light field pieces
have been turned against them, but
this was the first time the heavier
calibers were loosed.

was impossible at that time to blow
the Germans out of their stronger po-
sitions. But now all this is changed.
The difference between the lombard
ment which the offensive began last
Monday and that when the British in
augurated the battles of the Somme
last July was so great that it is diff
cult to realize that they are from

Artillery Well Handled.

al NNii
At the time set for the somme bonn
bardment to begin, some of the Brit
ish artillery officers were seeing
large shells fired from their guns for
the first time. When the battle of
Arras began the British officers and
gun crews handled the weapons like
veterans. Behind them lay six or
seven months of constant training, not
only in the schools, but actually in
the field with the German positions as
practice targets.
All winter. long the British guns
have roared in order that when the
offensive began every artllleryman
would have a thorough knowledge of
and familiarity with the various phas-
es of the modern school of gunnery,
The rapidity and precision with which
the bonlbardmeflt was earned out mas
been one of the distinct features of
the new success. The small losses suf-
fered were due largely to the coop
Grafton and effective work of the ar
tillery. Every step now made for
ward finds guns of all calibers mere
ly waiting for the word to place n de-
structive fire or a protective barrage
wherever the infantry desires.
Rescue Captured Officers.
Canadian patrols, pressing far east
of the Vimy ridge today, rescued from
the Germans two British officers of
the Royal flying corps who were cap
tured five days ago when forced to
descend in the German lines, One oi
them had a fractured leg. The Ger.
mans had kept them in a dugout and
had given them small bits of food and
water, but did not have time to move
them to the rear.
A Canadian brigadier, patrolling
with several Of his men, entered
German dugout further along AMI
personally captured two prisoners.

DIPLOMAT AS WELL AS SOLDIER

Gen. Hugh L. Scott is probably
the most unique character In the Unit
ed States army. In the days of the
Indian disturbances on the Western
frontier he gained distinction as an
Indian fighter, and as remarkable as
II might seem, later became the In
dams friend and counsellor. He is
familiar with their folklore and talks
their sign language.
Several years ago, when one OF the
tribes went on the war path General
Scott was sent to the scene Of the dis
turbances and after few days of
friendly negotiations succeeded In
bringing about peace which the armed
forces Of the state had been unable to
accomplish.

WEYLER FIREBRAND IN SPAIN
The entire kingdom of Spain is in

The entire kingdom of Spain Is In
a state Of uproar and disturbance. The
constitutional guarantees have been

been decreed throughout the length

things contribute to an impossible stu
