German dealers to close their estab-
lishments and threw several thousand
men and women out Of work.
The manufacturers appealed to the
Swiss government and the German
Minister with the result that the fed

Temperatures Throughout Country Were Unfavorable
 During Past Week.

Washington, April 1S.-American farmers are starting under handicap in their efforts to carry out President Wilson's appeal for an increased pro- duction of food.

 Pastures started slowly. Germina- tion is slow in southern districts. While conditions are favorable for work in eastern and southwestern sections, it is generally backward.
 Decided improvements reported in the condition of winter wheat crops of Oklahoma and Kansas, and small but steady improvement of all crops of Ohio valley.
 Shortage of winter wheat is fully as great as preliminary reports forecast. and only little increase in potatoes is reported by farm loan board ap- praisers.

 Information at Hand

 Authoritative statements were made that there had been no naval engage ments and that warships had not ex- changed salutes with foreign vessels.

 Newspaper correspondents at points on the cape reported they had not heard any gun firing. The statement discrediting the first official an nouncement was issued after the navy yard radio station had communicated with the patrol fleet. No information of any firing was obtained from any ships at sea.
 Tonight there were reports current on the tip of Cape Cod, of further firing. The sounds were heard be- tween 10 and 10:30 o'clock and appar- ently came from the northwest. the story said, but none of the rumors came from an official source.

FORCES CONTINUE MOVE
 WITH SUCCESS
Force of 1,30O Germans Throw Down Arms and
 Surrender.
Associated Press Summary.)

J
 The great offensive of the French army against the Germans, from Soissons into the Champagne, con- tinues unabated. Numerous points of vantage have been taken, prisoners and guns captured, ana violent coun- ter attacks repulsed with heavy cas- ualties.
 In three days fighting, more than 1000 unwounded prisoners have fa!- len into the hands of the French, to- gether with 75 cannons. In Wednes- days battle in the forest of Vile au Bois, an enveloping movement was carried out, and 1900 of the Germans threw down their arms and surren- dered. In addition 1S0 machine guns were captured.
 The villages of Oste' and Grave en Laonais were captured, together with territory about them.
 The Germans were retreating n disorder, losing to one French regi- ment alone 300 prisoners, belonging to seven different regiments. In their fight, the Germans left behind much war material, and here the French captured 119 cannon.
 Between Jubincourt and Aisne, the Germans threw counter attack against the French line, with about 10000 men, but, according to Paris, the artillery of General Neville's men repulsed the attack with sanguinary losses. South of St. Quentin Wednes- day the Germans also made an at- tack against the French near Gauchy. This attack, which failed, was follow ed by another in which the Germans penetrated advanced French posi- tions. In counter attacks the French killed or made prisoners of all the Germans and regained the position.
 The British war office reports that General Haig's men gained additional ground along the river Scarpe, east of Sampoux, and also captured the village of Villers Gaislain, north of St. Quentin.
 To the north, in the region of Loos, a system of German trenches were taken.

London, April 17.-Today's sitting
 of inc British parliament will be a historical landmark.
 Roth houses adopted, the lords
 Unanimously and the commons with
 on]v one dissenting vote, a resolution &eypressing the profound appreciation l |of the British nation, of the action of {the United States government and |neople in entering the war in defense hi freedom and the rights of the peo- |ple. The unusual importance of the meeting was shown in the crowded galleries in the commons. Among | those present was Walter H. Page, American ambassador, and other Americans, as we'll as representatives Eof entente allied states. An unaccus- |tomed air of enthusiasm covered the occasion.
 In the commons, the resolution was moved by Andrew Bonar Law, chan cellor of the exchecquer, Former Pre- mier Asquith seconded it, with fervid speech.
 The resolution in the house Of lords was introduced by Earl Curzon of |Keddleston. lord president of the council. In all the speeches, particu- lar reference was made to Americas |purely disinterested intervention, "the most disinterested in history" and the complete absence of any motive of |self-interest, calculation or amkYon. Mr. Asquith pointed out that neither the liberty nor the independence of the United States was imperilled. f"It was the constraining force of
 conscience and humanity" he added.
 John Dillon, Nationalist, predicted
 that Irishmen, in proportion to their number, would outnumber all races in the ranks as soldiers, said that to Americans will fall the blessed task of basing peace upon liberty. All parties in the house were represented Tn the speeches.
 Lord Curzon said the entry of United States meIkad the struggle as the great uprising of the conscience of mankind to put an end to the rule of Satan on earth. The presidents speech, he said. was a trumpet call, the sound of which will ring through the ages.
 Lord Bryce alluded to the same lofty ideals which are animating the United States and England. The Marquis of Crewe, admitting that the material re- sources of the United States were un- speakably welcome, said even more welcome was the moral force of which Lord Curzon had spoken. The arch bishop of Canterbury said when ele- mentary principles of right and wrong were set at naught. there can be no permanent neutrality among civilized men.

GEN. UNDRESSING, BELGIAN DESPOT.
 REPORTED DEAD
Has Been Prominent Since Appointment as Governor
 on Conquered State.

London, April 1S.--Reuter's Amster- dam correspondent says that accord ing to a Brussels dispatch, Gen. von Bissing, German governor general in Belgium, died Wednesday evening.
 Gen. Baron Moritz Ferdinand von Bissing was appointed governor gen. eral of Belgium in November 1914, succeeding Gen. von der Goltz. He was born in 1S44. During his early rule in Belgium, Gen. von Bissing has come into prominence many times, notably in connection with the execution of MissEdith Cavell, an English nurse, the frequent clashes with Cardinal Mercier, primate of Belgium, and the deportation of Belgians. It was re- ported in 1915 that he had ordered a roundup of spies and persons sus- pected of working against Germans, and that a series of executions fol- lowed. Several times, by his order, Belgian cities and towns were fined heavily for alleged breaking of rules laid down by him. He has been i'll off and on for more than year.
