.TOTHEBRIT|sH
Over Thirteen Thousand
Prisoners Taken in the
Recent Drive.
FIVE VILLAGES
ALSO CAPTURED
General Haig's Men Have
Gained Footing in the
German Trenches.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

The British official communication
issued this evening declares the num-
Der of prisoners taken in the often
sive begun last Monday now aggre-
gates more than $4,000, and 166 guns
were also taken.
British today pressed back Ger
mans all along the line on twelve
mile front north of the River Scarpe
to south of Loos. Five villages were
taken.
Northeast of Lens, Field Marshal
Haig's men announce they have gain
ed footing in the German trenches,
taking many prisnoore, guns and
ammunition. The valliages captured
were Bailleuf, Willeval Vimy, Petit,
Vimy, Givenchby En- Go-Helle, and
Azores.
Today official report from London
tells of a notable victory won in an
assault on this sector of the line,
along a nine mile front. Position
after position was taken by General
Haig's forces on this front, between
Bargicourt, eight miles northwest of
ST. Quentin, to Metx-an-Couture, ten
miles southwest of Cambria.
1t was in this region that the great
German retirement of last month
took place. According to the Ger
mans, retirement was to have been
delayed any contemplated British of
fensive here for weeks if not months.
| Nevertheless the british have evil
| IDENTIFY been able Ito organize their
communications and bring up their
guns across the devastated territory
and to deliver a smashing and effec-
tive blow within comparatively few
| days.
While the British were hating mo-
| mentarily on the northern end OF the
line to consolidate their gains and
move up their artillery and mean
while attacking in the center, the
French chose the opportunity to make
a sharp thrust south of ST. Quentin.
| Their attack was delivered this morn
! ing and its success is recorded in the
Paris official statement which re-
counts the capture of several lines
of trenches between the Somme and
the st. Quentin railway against des-
perate German resistance.
General Nivelle's troops also have
kept up their offensive movement
south of the Disc, making further
progress east of Coucy la Vile.

By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, April 13.-The inter

Britain and France are sending emf
nent statesmen, soldiers and sailors,

American officials in all depart
ments have an opportunity to meet
the foreign commissioners personally
and discuss with them problems fac
ing the allies at the beginning of the
war, which the allies solved only by
bitter experience. Consideration will
be given of the broad principle upon
which the United States may marshal
its forces, with least possible waste,
delay and the greatest possible eff
cheney, and effectiveness.
Rear Admiral William S. Sims,
president of the American naval war
college, has arrived in ondon. He
will act as an intermediary between
the British and American naval Off
Gals in working out the problems in
volved in participation of the Amer
lean navy in ranks of the entente
powers. Early conferences of French,
British and American naval officers
are expected to speedily produce a
working agreement between ~ three
navies.

Public Remonstrance.
BUT CARNIVAL
WILL BE HELD
So Says Carnival Associa-
tion-Says Objectionable
Features Be Cut Out.

Although the Carnival Association
has announced definitely that there
will be continuation of Mardi Gras,
and is working now for the 1918 cele-
bration to be conducted on model
lines, a number of citizens, represent
ing various organizations and
churches of the city, met Friday aft
ernoon at the city hall, and adopted
a resolution declaring that the best
interests of the city demand the
abandonment of the celebration.

Rev. Claude E. Roberts, pastor of the
West Hill Methodist Church, and is as
follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense OF
this meeting that the hest interes 5
of the city that there be no public
celebration of Mardi Gras in future;
that the chairman appoint a commit
tee of three to advise the Carnival
Association of the action of this body

fuses to recognize our voice, we place
ourselves on record as unalterably
opposed to "a Mardi Gras celebra-
ton.

byterian Church, was heard in a
lengthy talk as to why he was OPP
posed to future occurrences of any
"sort of debaucheries which it was
my painful privilege to witness when

the city" Mr.. Philips made an i'm
passioned appeal for the suppression
of any such occurrences "for the
young men and boys Of this city, in
whom l have especial interests, have
enough temptations on all sides OF
them in this city, without adding any
thing else" His remarks were APP
plauded heartily.
DIR. Kennedy, representing the Ro-
tary Club, said he had never changed
his opinions from those expressed in
letter to the Pensacola Journal OF
few weeks since, and said he was
against the carnival if scenes as wit
messed on all sides upon occasion OF
the last one had to be resorted to, to
make it a success.
