BRITISH SPRING
TRAP; WIN RLES
Knew Germans Were About to
Give Up Ancre Village; So
Make Attack.

War Correspondents Headquar-
tors, March 17.-1rles was captured
yesterday morning by brilliant at
tack and 2s8 men with 3 officers and
16 machine guns fell into the hands
Of the British.
Before the attack the British
howitzers swept the place with fire
so that nothing could live above the
ground. Close to this hurricane of
working up from the south and an
other swinging round to the left and
north in order to cut off the German
retreat. There were also some fusi-
Ners who dealt with the sunken road
or ravine, which was held by gar
rison Of old mon with machine guns.
OF these thirty were taken prisoners
and the rest killed. The attack swept
on across the German trenches, two
ing of one noncommissioned officer
and eight men with q machine gun.
Most Of the Germans. to the num-
ber Of nearly $50, were gathered up
alive, and about the same number
were taken by the troops working
west and north. There was but little
fighting. When the Germans saw the
British streaming behind them, they
knew that resistance was futile and
surrendered quickly, curslng their ILL
luck. because few hours later might
have found them behind the strong
wire belt Of the Loupart line, only a
few hundred yards away now from
the British position on the other side
of 1rles village. This village, unlike
those on the early Somme battlefields,
still stands, visible at least to the ex-
tent Of broken walls. But the church
tower, which I used to see long be-
fore the capture of Thiepval as a
high landmark, has fallen under the
bombardment. The prisoners are all
Guards Reserve Grenadiers and other
Prussian regiments.
During this withdrawal the Ger
mans have been successful on the
whole in "mizzling off, without much

LONDON BOMBARDED
BY ZEPPELIN FLEET

Amsterdam, via London. March 10,
1880 p. ma telegram received here
today from Berlin says it has been
learned from an authoritative source
that the airships which visited Eng
land on Friday night observed no less
than fifty to sixty searchlights within
the London area. BY the aid Of these
the airships were bombarded severe
ly, but without effect. British air
men also took part in the attacks,
the telegram said, but did not ap-
close to the airships. The
men in the Zeppelin crew could see
the hostile airplanes distinctly. al
though the lights in London were
darkened, they were able to observe
the city clearly.
During the journey back a storm
arose. The airships were sought for
vainly by searchlighs of the Thames

posts, who know they have been left
behind as a sacrifice, and don't like
1t a bit, though they put up game
fight to the end. But yesterday they
were caught mapping very badly in
hours too early for them. They had
arranged to move at 1880 in the
morning back behind the barbed
wire belt which guards part Of the
line. So now with the taking of Irles
the British enter again into posses
sion of another series of German
dwelling places, for which they pay
no rent but find very convenient and
comfortable as shelters from the
German shell fire.

RUSH ON GERMAN
ELINDAGE.

Petrograd, June 28.-The hero of

inspired an attack by forces which
heretofore had obdurately refused to
charge. The eX-convict, whose rank
is sergeant, led fifty volunteers in a
rush on German blindage. The at
tacking party, confused by heavy fire,
wavered, whereupon the skirmishers
climbed the breastworks and hurled a
bomb among the enemy
Then with only eighteen followers,
several strongly held blindages were
rushed. This produced general panic
among the enemy and resulted in the
capture of many prisoners. The ser
geant was given an officers commits

take command and the whole Of his
division resolved Immediately to pitch

SiguOr Venturini, One of Italy's
Ablest Attorneys, Has Been
Employed to Defend Alfredo
COCChi.

New York, June 2S.-The inyesti-
cation by Commissioner OF Accounts
Wallstein into the methods employed
by the police department to solve the
mystery of the disappearance Of Ruth
Cruger, the high school girl, who was
murdered here last February. was
continued today with Captain Alonzo
Cooper, of the department. as one of
the witnesses.
The movements of Alfredo Cocchi,
the confessed murderer of the girl,
now under arrest in Italy, was to be
traced for the week following the
murder. 1t was said the Rev. Father
Moretto, who talknd to Cocchi after
the murder of the Cruger girl. might
be recalled to the witness stand and
questioned further about any revela-
tions Cocchi may have made to him.
Early today it was evident that
evidence of importance had been dis
covered by Mrs. Grace Humistonl
whose e1OrtS led TO the finding or
the murdered girls body, which bear
out her contention that Cocchi was
a member of white slave ring op-
Grating here and n Mexico.
Mrs. Iiumiston,, it was said. made
a midnight search of a celler of a
house in West Twenty-seventh street,
where papers and4other evidence OF
importance were said to have been
fonnd. 1t was learned that the evi-
dence tended to bear out the story
of Miss Louise LaRue, who jumped
from her window recently, when she
said her life was threatened BY men
she accuses with being connected
with the white slavers with whom
Cocchi worked.
