OFFICIAL REPORT OF
FIGHTING BY NIVELLE

Paris. May 1 Q0:30 p. m.)-The
communication issued by the war Of
flee tonight says:
"In Champagne there was violent
artillery fighting soaths os Morc Rvil-
liers. The enemy twice delivered
strong counter-attacks against the po-
sitions taken by us yesterday north

and the fire of our machine guns on
both occasions broke the waves OF as
sault and inflicted heavy losses on
the enemy.

England IL Still Wealthy.

London, May 1.-The monthly val
uation of securities by the Bankers
magazine shows that In March there
was for the first time since the war
began, an appreciation in the value
of the leading stock exchange se-
curities. The rise in value totalled
I'll, 100000 or 0.6 per cent, in 3S7
representative securities. The better
tone during March is ascribed to the
favorable progress on the western
front, to the success of the war loan
and to the favorable progress of pro-
entente sympathies in the United
States.

Germans. Convinced that the diplo-
, matte advantages far outweighed the
technical and training difficulties ad-
vanced by the general staff. they have
felt that such step would consecrate
the United States as a full member of
the alliance entitled to a most honor
able seat at the peace conference.
Transportation Problem.
The amount of tonnage that would
be required for transport Is usually
put at about twenty tons per man in
a fully equipped force. For the reg
ular American unit of $4,000 men
nearly half q million tons therefore
will be necessary or ships about equal
to the seized German TONNAGE in
American waters. 1t remains for the
allies to figure out if they can afford
to divert that amount of shipping.
Little doubt exists that the French
will gladly put up with any sacrifice
necessary to have American troops in
France. ..
The British are also known to be
anxious to have American troops In
France as final earnest of American
participation, but there Is reason to
believe that they have taken a some.
what more detached view than the
French. With their responsibility for
tonnage. their decision about the ad-
visibility of sending an expeditionary
force Is uncertain.

effect in the Vacuum's bow. The
next thing knew was that I had
been picked up while unconscious and
taken aboard the No. 3 lifeboat. in
which there were seventeen men be-

in as result Of the explosion. He
added that the Vacuum did not have
a chance to use her guns at any time.
Other survivors say that the sea
was very rough when the Vacuum

twenty minutes in sinking. One Of
those lost in the disaster was William
Gardey. Cincinnati, who was returning
to the United States to join the navy.
The Vacuum was returning in bal

This probably accounts for the des'
perate nature Of the German de.
fense in the recent engagement.
Indications show that the strength
of the German forces totalled on the
first of April 219 divisions, each COM
prising a maximum of from ten to
twelve thousand combatants. OF these
divisions 143 faced the French and
British, but only SO were in the ac-
tual line, the others being held in
strategic reserve. The remaining 76
divisions were then on the Russian,
Rumanian and Macedonian fronts.
Many of the strategic reserve divisions
have since been thrown into line, and,
owing to losses, were later sent to
the rear for reconstruction.
