THE WAR SITUATION

Three additional villages have fallen into the hands of the British and French troops operating against the Germans between Arras and Soissons in France. One village was taken by the British and two were captued b ythe French.
 Lagnicourt. situated about six miles northwest of Bapaume fell into the hands or the British, and Folembray and La Feuillee, in the Bassee-Foret -de-Coucy region at the base of the salient that has been driven into the German lines at La Fere, now are in the hands or General Nivelle's forces.
 The French also have gained some ao- ditional terrain northeast of Soissons, but TO important changes in position have occurred in the St. Quentin sector, where the Germans apparently are stiffening their line to keep down fresh inroads by the French. Paris reports the dis persal of German assemblages in this district by the artillery fire of the French, however.
 Trench raiding and bombing operations continue on the remainder of the front, although there also have been violent

LANSING DECLARES GERMANY VIOLATED
 THE OLD TREATIES

including those of neutrals will be sunk and in those zones German submarines have in fact, in accordance with this declarat tion, ruthlessly sunk merchant vessels and jeopardized or destroyed the lives of American citizens on board.
 Moreover, since the severance of rela- tions between the United States and Ger many. certain American citizens in Ger many have been prevented from remov- ing from the country. While this is not a violation of the terms of the treaties mentioned, it is disregard of the recipro' cal liberty of intercourse between the two countries in time of peace and can not be taken otherwise than as an indica- tion of the purpose on the part of the German government to disregard in the event of war the similar liberty of action provided for in article 23 of the treaty of l799-the very article which it is now proposed to interpret and supplement all most wholly in the interests of the large number of German subjects residing in the United States and enjoying in their persons, or property the protection of the United States government. This article provides in effect that merchants of either country residing in the other, shall be allowed a stated time in which to remain to settle their affairs and to depart freely, carrying off all their effects with out molestation or hindrance, and women and children, artisans and certain others may continue their respective employ. ments. and shall not be molested in their persons or property. It is now proposed by the Imperial German government to enlarge the scope of this article. so as to arant the German subjects and German property remaining in the United States in time of war the same treatment in many respect as that enjoyed by neutral subjects and neutral property in the Tinted States'

ESCAPES GALLONS

Andrew Moulton, young negro. who killed William Waller, university student, at Mitylene last year escaped the gal lows Monday by pleading guilty and &C., cepting a life sentence in prison. Moul- ton was convicted late last year and given death sentence, but the case was reversed by the supreme court because of remarks made by counsel for the state which may have prejudiced the jury against the negro.
 When Moulton's case was called he announced that he did not care to con test it and preferred to take a life sen- tence. The plea was accepta ble to the state. Moulton stabbed Waller to death in an argument about money which Mouton claimed to be due him by the Waller plantation
