GERMANS CUT TO PIECES

Deadly Barragc and Machine Gun
Fire Causes Invaders Ranks to
Crumtlc.
London, May 14-Both against the
British and the French, Hindenburg
during the last twenty-four hours
threw division after division in mass
ed attacks. Everywhere these fresh
troops met an unshakable wall OF
steel. Cut to pieces by the barrage
fire and the machine gun fuslIlades
of the "poilus" and the TONNES
the Germans streamed back.
Every yard of ground won in yes
tcrdays fighting was maintained bv
the entente troops. At some points
thew added to their gains. Prisoners
were made both by the British ana
French.
In the ruins of Bullecourt village
a savage battle continues. As at
Fresnoy, a week ago, the Teutona
are hitting back with desperate fury
From the official British headquar-
tcrs report it is not clear now Tar the
Australians have forced their way
into the battered hamlet. "tlghtlng

statement. The German war Office re-
pert contains the Same laconc re-
ference to this :crcc5t Of battles now

Official admission came from ber-

FIGHT WITH RATS
New Jersey Recluse Has Terrible En-
= perience in Sewer

Elizabeth, N. J. May ID Adam
Angel may pay with his life for his
aversion to the sunshine, his desire
not ito be bothered" and to make his
home beneath the earth-in sewer.
For multitudes of the denzens OF
this neither region attacked Adam OIL
an isle he had made of bricks in the
sewer here yesterday afternoon, IN
1icted multitudes Of bites upon his
body as they attempted to devour nm
and retreated only when Patroiman
Manning beloved Justify as he IN
vaded the conduit and flashed the
strong rays of his electric tlashllght
into the roden eyes.
They carried Adam out, bleeding
At the Elizabeth General Hospital 1t
was said that he most likely will die.
The hermit of the underworld crept
ont of his ''home" six days a week
and went to work at the Standard Oil
Company's Bayway plant near here.
1t was economic necessity, apparently,
that forced Adam to mingle just this
little bit with his fellow men. But
where he made his home was MS
business. His fellow workers knew
little or nothing about him.
Yesterday, however, he had to call
for human help. Screams from be-
meath the street sent pedestrians sour
rying for the police and Manning
came on the run. The CRIES were
traced to the sewer and Manning went
below. A page out of Poe greeted
him. Rats-rats-rats on all sides
and a terror-stricken bit of humanity
on a pile of bricks, an island built
brick at time, it was learned, by
the ''bothered" recluse.
Manning scattered the hordes and
they took Adam out.

SAYS KAISER MUST CO
American Socialists Cable German
Colleagues to This Effect

| Colleagues to This Effect
New York, May IA - America $
Socialists sent word to their coilea-
CUES of Germany Saturday that the
Kaiser and Kaiserism must go; that
the war against Germany must
be continued by the democratic people
of the world until this result is
achieved. The message was cabled by
the national executive committee OIL
socialists of America to Socialists IN
Stockholm, Copenhagen, The Hague,
and Berne with specific requests that
it's text be forward to German So
calists.
Names of Americas most promln-
emit Socialists were affixed to the mes
sage-including Charles Edward Rus
sell, ]. G. Phelps Stokes, William
English Walling, Rose Pastor Stokes
and others.
"There is only one way to bring
the war to an early end" the appeal
asserted, "that is the kaiser must CO."
The Socialists message comes at the
time when German Socialists, Or
pseuo-Socialists who are government
agents, are working vigorously upder
sanction of the German government
itself to persuade and coax Russian
liberals into German-made peace.
1t comes just before meeting OF
Socialists in Stockholm, called for
June and which has suspiciously Ger
man antecedents and personnel. The
message constitutes a virtual appeal
to the German Socialists that if they
are in earnest about peace they can
bring about the end of the war very
quickly by overthrowing the kaiser
II his autocratic governmental ma
chine.
