WEDNESDAY,.

Beyond an officially inspired des-
patch from Berlin that no disorders
occurred in Germany May day, the
veil Of secrecy drawn over the central
empire remains unbroken. News des-
patches speak of great strikes and
rumors in regard to the growing I'M
rest among the Teutonic nations.
Along the fighting front in France
the deadlock which has existed for
some days persists. The French re-
port some new gains in Champagne.
The Germans made several attacks on
the Aisne. The results Of the French
offensive have caused considerable
dissatisfaction in Paris, and the minis
ter of war will have to face the fire OF
a number of deputies when the French
parliament meets. In England critl-
cism is centered on the admiralty. the
growing submarine menace is causing
increased criticism of Sir Edward Car
son.
The British report heavy guns are
again active on the Lens-St. Quentin
! line. ",-

4 GENERAL SURVEY O.:
The WA}
MONDAY.

The battle of Arras still rags with
the issue in doubt. For six days tor
rents of blood have flowed. The ar
mics of Britain and Germany yet strug-
gle for the mastery. Tens of tuoh-
sands of reserves have been hurled
against the British battlefront by Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg in supreme
effort to check the British advance. So
far without avail. Almost literally
foot by foot General Sir Douglas Haig
is forcing his stubborn foe back. II
seems to be a question as to which
can sustain its CHASTITY sacrifices long
est.
The military command in France is
under fire. There are reports in Paris
that the appointment of General Pc
tain as chief of staff heralds many
other changes.

FRIDAY.

Furious efforts are being made by
the Germans stop the progress OF
the British in smashing through the
Hindenburg line in northern France
General Sir Douglas Haig has made
good the most telling gains effected
in the renewal of the great drive. FIRES
noy, three miles east Of Vimy and the
captured lines north and south Of 1t
are firmly held after the repulse OF
numerous severe counter attacks. A
deep salient has been created in the
Oppi line here.
Near Builecourt in the Croisilles dis
trict southeast of Arris, the sector OF
the Hindenburg line taken was also
subjected to a heavy counter drive.
This valuable position likewise re-
mains safely in British hands. The
Germans in Bulecourt are nearly sur.
rounded and threatened with capture.
TIE French along the Aisne front
and in the Champagne are continuing
to pound the German lines with their
artillery. West Of Mont Corni%et, in
the Champs gne they have made fresh
progress.

THURSDAY.

New breaches in the already bat
tered German line on the Arras held
are being made by the British. They
launched heavy assault on twelve.
mile front. Striking three and hait
miles south of Lens, on the AcheViNe-
Vimy road General Sir Douglas
Haig's troops drove at the Germans as
far south as Croisilles on the Sensee
river, eight and half miles southeast
of Arras. Virtually the whole front OF
the attack at the beginning Of the Ar
ras battle on April was thus under
assault.
South of the Arras-C Cambria road the
Germans have been driven back from
the region Of Heninel, in the direction
Of Cherisy. Occupation of Cherisy by
the British would mark an advance OF
considerably more than a mile.
The French along the Aisne sector
and in the Champagne are giving the
Germans no rest. ass. ~:

TRICK WAS COSTLY TO HIM
conjurer Who "Found" Coins on
Street Car Floor Forced by Con-
ductor to Turn Over Money.

A conjurer performing at a local
heater got on Il street car with two
members of his company, and after a
while, moved by some sudden impulse.
he pretended to find sundry quarters,
STOPPING here and there, and producing
them from under the seats, on the
floor, anywhere, to the amazement of
the passengers, says the Toronto Mail.
His two friends laughed heartily at
the joke. Not 50, however, the cOnduc-
tor. who came forward and sternly de-
handed the twelve 25-cent pieces he
had picked up" in order that he
might hand them over in accordance
with the regulations governing lost
property found in the cars.
In vain did the "finder" protest that
it was only a conjuring trick. The
conductor obviously did not believe
him. And in the end, in order to
avoid Il compulsory visit to the police
station, he had to give up the coins.
