MIRAGE CAUSES
MUCH TROUBLE
Thirst, Heat and Mirage Cause
English Army in Egypt
Trouble.

Cairo. May 4.-(Correspondence OF
the Associated Press. ss.)-"Qperations
had to be temporarily suspended ow-
ing to mirage" says an official com
munication from the Diala front. de-
scribing a minor strategic movement
there. 1t IL a. reminder th8A aespite
modern war inventions, there is a,
least one front where world-old con-
ditions still play dominating part
Thirst, heat and mirage are among
the most important factors to be con-
sidered in far-eastern campaigning
just as they were twenty centuries and
more ago.
Although the why and wherefore OF
the mirage is better understood now
than then. the British troops in Sinai
and Mesopotamia have frequently
been held up and mystifed by the
vision of lakes and trees, Just as were
the soldiers Of Joshua or Alexander.
On the occasion referred to in the
communication. the mirage was OF
minor character, preventing reliable
reconnaissance. On a. similar occa-
sion some time ago, 1t produced the
effect Of the appearance of big Turk
ish reinforcements which necessitated
caution until their phantom character
had been established.
Mirages seriously interferred with
Napoleon's Egyptian campaign, and il
was due to the Investigations of a
French scientists who accompanied
that expedition that they were first
traced to tricks Of atmospheric re-
fraction.

GERMAN OFFICERS IN
ALSACE AND LORRAINE
SUFFER FROM HUNGER

Geneva. Switzerland. April IA
Swiss officers on leave who have Just
returned here after nine months serv-
ice on the Swiss-Alsace frontier say
that even the German officers in Al
SAGE and Lorraine are suffering from
hunger and when they arrive at the
Swiss outpost villages are now glad
to obtain good meal, paying any
price.
Until a few months ago the Ger
man officers, unlike the men on the
frontier who are always hungry, pre-
tended they had plenty Of food but
their pale faces belied the statement.
Now they admit that decent food is
lacking and their Swiss officer COM
rades though neutral are doing their
best for the Germans, although the
Swiss military authorities prohibit any
intercourse.
If this is the case with officers the
condition of the German soldier may
be imagined on the frontier where the
kindly Swiss are sharing their rations.
One German deserter said:
my whole company would desert
and enter Switzerland but we are
told by our officers that we would
be returned to Germany and then
shot"

GERMAN ATTACKS
HAVE LOST MUCH
OF THEIR FURY
Number of Prisoners Taken
Increases Apparently not
Sending in Many Troops.
BOMBING WORK
IN BULLECOURT
Germans Hold But Two Iso-
lated Posts in City-Sarne
Case in Roeux.

British Headquarters in France. Via
London, May 14.-tFrom a Staff Cor
respondent Of the Associated Press).
British troops have almost COM
pleted the absorption Of two impor-
tant villages to which the Germans
have clung desperately ever since the
battle of Arras began. One Of these
villages is Roeux. on the north bank
, Of the Scarpe, and the other is Bulle-
court. which lies directly in the Him
denburg line, just west Of Queant.
As result Of steady fighting dur
ing the last 48 hours. the Germans
foothold In Bullecourt has been re-
duced to two isolated posts. where
bombing fights are continuing. A
virtually similar situation exists in
Roeux.
Since the British victory on Sun
day. the German counter-a attacks have
lacked much Of their recent fierceness.
The number Of prisoners taken dur
ing this time has been exceptionally
large for the character Of the opera
| tions and the number of troops in-
| volved.
These may merely be condolences
or it may be that the Germans have
become tired Of sending so many of
| their troops to their death in mass
formations. The German soldiers
have been lighting very stoutly since
reserves were thrown into the Arras
area.
The heat wave in tho fighting dis
trict has been temporarily broken
by g. series of thunder storms.

In the wheat market today. the pit

ABOLITION OF THE

GOVERNORSHIP, PLAN

Sydney, Australia, May 14.-Aboli-
zion Of the present system of state
tovornorships-ap by the
British government for each Of the six
Australian states are likely to be
initiated by the present national or
coalition government of New South
Wales. It is thought that with the re-
uroment Of the present incumbent in
this state, Sir Gerald Strickland, the
time will be opportune for moving
against a system which has been
growing in unpopularity for some
Years past throughout the common
wealth. Should New South Wales, the
Oldest state, succeed in representation

.ronsidered that the abolition of the
post would be extended to the other
states without question.
