 weck-Rclataycs and Employer Are <. in tho Dark.
 Mysteriously absent for over week from his duties as plano salesman for the c. l.. Pierce & Co.,. from his home at 39 Walnut street and his usual sites of recreation among fraternal associates, much worriment has arisen concerning the unexplained disappear ar1ce of Bernard VI Farrell, widely known throughout the city and gem erally popular. His employer and relatives profess to have no knowledge as to his whereabouts and relative to his absenting himself from business and fraternal duties without previous announcement They fear that he may have met with an accident or foul play while temporarily out of the city. As far as can be ascertained, much mystery and reticence is being manifested relative to his absence. no word has been received from him for over a week nor has any information been received concerning his where abouts or cause of leaving the city, It is feared that he may have suffered an attack of asphasia and be wander ing about somewhere near New Britain. <.
 Farrell has a wide acquaintance, had held ,an exceptional reputation as to habits and general behavior and Is generally we'll regarded. In the local lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose. he has been prominent, being treas urer of the house committee of the Moose Social club. There will be a meeting of the house committee of thA club tonight to balance the books SO that a permanent, or temporary, successor to Farrell can serve with in- telligence and understanding.

 All through the brilliant moonlight and again today. British soldiers were fighting on 3 wide, front, holding the positions won yesterday in the face of headlong counter attacks of their foes. In some places the lighting ebbed and flowed as in tho old days in the Somme campaign. Tho present flghting, how ever. lis more sintense.
 The latest reports from the battle front show that the Hindenburg line was pierced both northwest and south east of Bullecourt for long distances. The Germans bitterly defended these strong points and attempted several times to re-take them, but once tho British were in the deep trenches they held on. sa
 The men fought 60 steadily that there was no time for food. The bat tlefleids were dry and dusty and water bottles had to be replenished time aud again, whenever 1t was possible to do so.

Consider Belgian Question Settled.
 Amsterdam, May {. Via London A Berlin despatch says that during a discussion of the Belgian question in the Reichstag main committee the spokesman of tho progressive party declared that annexation of Belgium must be regarded as an accomplished fact and discussion concerning 1t was undesirable. He declared that tho existence of Belgium as 8 eeml- sovereign state would mean lasting war menace and that complete restor- ation of pre-war conditions would 1n- volve serious danger. Al Centerist speaker said the leaders of the Flemish people consider that it would be dangerous for Belgium to come under the old dynasty. A conserve tive deputy considered that the whole question was whether the cost of Flanders was to come under German or English influence.

Washington, May 4.-The British forces on the western front are two weeks ahead of their attacking sched- ule, according to cablekyam re- ceived here today by Secretary Bal- four from the foreign ofice. The ad- vance has been much faster than ex- pected and the losses smaller.
 The losses were said to be only one- half as large proportionately as those in the somme offensive last year. This is attributed by members of the mis- sion to an incomparably better artil- lery preparation and the fact that the men are not allowed to outrun the guns.
