To-day IN many ports of the battle
fronts there were no more dugouts TO
serve as shelters for the Germans, and
they had TO stand and fight, with the
result that their casualties were higher
and the prisoners fewer in those sec
tions of the line.
The British advanced in nearly every
instance from mere half trenches,
where they had been lying for the last
week. awaiting the bringing up of ar
tillery and the order TO advance. The
Germans opposite them had been dig
ging at every opportunity, but they,

which skirted the battle front it seemed

British Airship Lost
With All Its Grew

London, April pa British airship
on patrol duty is believed TO have beer
lost with all its crew. An official state
ment issued tonight says:
zone of his majesty's airships left
on patrol from an east coast air sta
tion Saturday morning and has not re-
turned Reports received state that an
airship was seen to descend in flames
in the strait of Dover about noon the
same day. An airplane or seaplane
was seen in the vicinity shortly before
the occurrence. and it is believed that
the missing British airship has been
destroyed by hostile aircraft.
"The position given is considerable
distance from the area in which the
airship should have been working. 1t
is probable that her engine power had
failed and that she drifted long dis
tance with the wind. An extensive
search has been made where the air
ship fell and no trace of the crew or
any portion of the ship was found. It
must be assumed that all the crew was
lost"

Glass Bullets Used
By Germans in Russia
Wounds Inflicted by the New
Missile Are Hard
to Heal

London. April 23.-Glass bullets arc
being used by German rifemen on the
East front. according TO the official
wireless bulletin from Pctrograd re-
cciyed here to-day. The new missile
has been noted on the Northern front
in the region oE the River IA, and par
ticles of the bullets have been probed
from Russian wounds.
Ever since the beginning Of the war
German scientists have been expert
mentiDg with glass projectiles. The
theory OF bursting she'll is that the
greater the number of parts into which
it breaks the greater will be the cas-
ualties it inflicts. The glass shells for
field pieces used early on the West
front, however, proved failure. be-
cause when the explosion occurred the
glass, instead of merely being tract
ured, was practically pulverized.
But with a glass rifle bullet the
breakage would hardly occur until the
flesh was penetrated, thus causing a
particularly nasty wound. even more
severe and harder TO heal than that OF
the forbidden explosive bullet
