salient points.
The correspondent says the attack
was directed to the taking of certain
points OF considerable importance and
to improving the British line. The
British desire to gain complete mas
terry OF dominating points where their
artillery would have a commanding
position to destroy the new troops
which the Germans throw in.
Tornado Of Fire.
There was the usual preliminary
tornado OF fire from weapons OF all
calibres and then the equally familiar
creeping barrage. working with ahso
lutte punctuality as the order to the
men TO go forward was snapped forth
simultaneously down miles OF
trenches Thousands of crouChiug fig
ures formed into regular waves foI
the advance.
Then came the inevitable deadly
rattle of machine gun and rifle fire
and the crashing Of bursting bombs
as the infantry reached the parapet OF
the first enemy trench.
As to tO results obtained, the cor
respondent adds, reports thus lar are
vague, but the British made progress
in several directions toward Fresnoy
and Cherry and also toward Bullecourt
which is a point on the Hindenburl
line.
The Germans counter attacked heav
lily near Gayrelle and Loos The on
slaughts We're dealt with satisfactoril,

TO FIGHT SUBMARINES
INCREASED SHIPPING AND Ma
VAL COOPERATION NEEDED.
Considerable Number Of Small Boats
to Be Used as Submarine Chasers,
But Not as Many as Expected by
British. Seized Germans Help.

Washington, May 3.-That the sub
marine menace and ways to combat
it by increasing shipping, freight Sc
lection and naval cooperation is the
main interest of the British mission
became certain today from many dif
forent sources The issue was focused
by. Premier Lloyd-George's statement
in parliament recently that the need
was for ships and still more ships
Lord Percy's explanation here that de
struction was Outrunning construction
and declarations of Secretaries Ian
sing and Lane that the submarine sit
uation is grave
other Matters Subordinate.
II is now evident that other matters
before the British commission howev
er vital, are being subordinated.
The British naval officers in coming
to this country hoped to get con
siderable number OF small boats tC
use as submarine chasers but they
have been disappointed to discover
that the few available are needed
here The British shipping experts
however, have found announcement
in the emergency efforts of the shin
ping board and the availability OF
many German ships.
Proposed Curtailment of non.essen
tial freight now being carried to Eu
rope would give increased tonnage
for necessary supplies The American
government has agreed not only tC
restrict imports las the British al
ready do, but to impose export restric
tions, authorized by the bill now pend

KILKENNY CAT STORY.

Apropos Of the Kilkenny election,
how many people know the real story
Of the Kilkenny cats? It happened
that the British government en-
ployed Hessian regiments in Ireland
for the purpose Of putting down the
rebellion Of 1898. Some Of these
Germans located in Kilkenny con-
ceived the notion Of hanging two
cats over a rope with their tails tied
together so that they might fight
while so suspended. One day they
were surprised ct the precious
Amusement" by an officer, and :
trooper drew his sword and cut down
the cats, leaving their tails behind.
The cats, quite alive, ran through
an open window. When the officer
entered he asked what had become Of
the cats, and the reply was that they
had devoured each other. Hence the
tale.

Doctors Definition Of Affection
Sends Offender Back to Trenches.

Is timidity a crime--under wal
conditions? That is the question a
French military judge had to decide
when the case of deserter, named
Stephanie Dessalles, was brought be-
fore him. This was the doctors re-
port on him:
"Dessalles is an emotional char
acter. He is a coward. He is afraid
Of thunder and other things, but not
SO obsessed by fear as to render the
case one of mania. At first he did
his duty at the front, but allowed
himself to become depressed more
easily than a normal man. But to
say he deserted under the irresistible
influence of fear or in state Of ir-
responsibility is going too far. He
was simply unable to offer the same
resistance to the emotions Of war as
an ordinary man." The desertez
told the court:
81 am timid. In my family We
are nearly all like that. l am afraid
of everything" Asked if he thought
himself capable Of doing his duty
if sent back to the front, he replied
earnestly: 81 will do my best, but
am not certain"
The court sentenced him to two
years. imprisonment, but humorous
ly gave him the benefit Of the first
offenders law, with the result that
he will return Immediately to the
trenches.
