Kaiser's Crack Troops HurI-
ed Back on Two Mile
Line Before City.
FALL EXPECTED SOON
Vicfors Make Their Winnings
Safe and Seemed Poised
For Final Smash.

Canadians-men from all parts Of
/ the dominion-have taken another
whack at the German lines protecting
Lens, the coal center in the depart
ment Of Pas De Calais, and have been
rewarded with a further encroach-
ment upon their objective.
Striking on two mile front south
Of Lens, the Canadians from Nova
Scotia, Central Ontario, Manitoba
and British Columbia, stormed and
captured German first line positions
before Avion and also the village of
Lauvettee. They defeated in their
onslaughts men Of the crack Prussian
guard and the fifth grenadier guards,
whose machine gun and rife fire and
the fact that the attacking forces had
to cut through wire entanglements
could not stay them.
When the battle ended and the Ca
nadians began their work of CONSOLE
dating the uewly-won positions, their
line had been extended to within one
mile Of the center Of Lens, the fall of
which under such tenacious assaults
as have been made recently seeming
ly cannot be delayed.
On the remainder Of the front in
France there have been only bonn
bardments between the French and
Germans. In Belgium the Germans
are carrying out heavy commandments
of French and Belgian positions at nu-
merous points from the sea south
ward. In attacks south Of st. George
the Germans entered French trenches
but later were elected from them, Suf-
fering heavily.
Only minor operations are in pro-
gress on the other fronts. In the Rus
sian theatre the fighting is still spirit
ed in Galicia. On the Austro-Italian
zone infantry attacks have again ceas-
ed for the moment and only artillery
duels continue to feature the fighting
in Macedonia.

A PASTORS
DIAMOND DEAL
Got Pins Worth $675 On Claim
He Wanted His Wife to
Approve Them.

E. c. Cravens, former pastor Of the
Christian church at Princeton, KY,
who is missing, secured diamonds
valued at 1915 from the iewelry store
of James X. Lemon & Sons, Louis
vile, last Tuesday.
Nothing has been heard Of Cra-
vens, and since he has been reported
missing from his home in Princeton
the matter will be presented to the
grand Jury at once.
Mr.. Goslee Geiger, the vice-presi.
dent of Lemons, says Cravens came
into the store and said he had noticed
the advertisement of a special sale Of
diamonds. He selected two pins, one
worth $500 and one $275. He said
he wanted to take them to his
wife for her approval. He gave a
bank in Eminence, KY, where he
formerly lived, as reference. The
firm called up the bank and was told
that Cravens had recently married a
wealthy widow and that his request
to take the diamonds on approval
seemed reasonable.
AS told in the Evening Post Cra-
vens, who has been pastor of the
Christian church in Princeton since
last February, left there in a seven
passenger touring car belonging to his
wife, who was away on visit at the
time. He left note saying, in effect,
that when she returned he would
probably be aboard vessel on his
way to Europe. Louisville Post.

Yankee Soldiers, Wearing Tan

Mingle With Populace.
TRIUMPH OF SEA TRANSIT
Never in Worlds History Has
Great Army Moved Across
Ocean so Swiftly.

Washington, June 2S.-The adj
vance guard of the mighty army the
United States is preparing to send
against Germany is on French soil.
In defiance Of the German subma.
rines thousands of seasoned regulars
and marines, trained fighting men
with the tan Of long service on the
Mexican border, or in Haiti or Santo
Domingo still on their faces, have
been fastened overseas to fight be-
side the French, the British, the Bel
gian, the Russian, the Portuguese and
the Italian troops on the western front.
News Of the safe arrival of the
troops sent a new thrill through
Washington. No formal announce.
ment came from the war department.
None will come probably, until Major
General Pershing's official report has
been received. Then there may be q
statement as to the numbers and com.
position of the advance guard.
Press dispatches from France, pre-
sumably sent forward with the ap-
proval Of Gen. Pershing's staff, show
that Maj. Gen. Sibert one Of the new
major generals ofthe army has been
given command of the first force sent
abroad under Gen. Pershing as COM
mander-in-chief of the expedition.
One thing stands out sharply, despite
the fact that the size of the task that
has been accomplished is not fully re-
vealed as yet. This is that American
enterprise has set a new record for
the transportation of troops
Considering the distance to be COW
cred and the fact that all preparations
had to be made after the order came
from the White House, the night of
May IS, it is practically certain that
nerer before has a military expedition
of this size har been assembled, con-
veyed and landed with accident in so
short a time by any nation. 1t is a
good augury of future achievements.

Radical Socialists Active.

LONDON, April 25. - German
propaganda is now centering on
democratic Russia to such an extent

to the necessity for the stamping out
of the movement
Reports told of organized anti
American demonstrations Sunday
night in which the American embas-
sy at Petrograd was threatened with
attack of a number ot
socialist radicals emphasized the
danger. This report was coupled
with reliable reports of Russian
exodus from Petrograd, induced by
alarming reports OF an approaching
German drive on the capatal. The
reports eminated from certain Ger
man sources.
Reports from Petrograd trace the
demonstration against the Ameri-
can embassy directly to German
propaganda work. Nikolo Lenine,
a Russian radical, for some time eA-
lied in Switzerland. recently re-
turned through Germany He sway
ed street gathering to high

The crowd numbered off to the
American embassy. Police hurries-

With instructions to shoot If the
mob tried to enter the building.
Ambassador Francis was said to
be entertaining at dinner. He arm
ed himself and awaited the crowd.
Meanwhile police officials ad-
dressed the mob and convinced its
members German agents were dis
seminators of the false information
as to Aemeriea's position. The
crowd thereupon dispersed.
