New York, April 21.-InterestI in
the great offensive on the Aisne river
today gives way to the startling news
coming from the interior of Germany.
Yelled though the situation is in the
mists of rigid censorship, and OBJ
scured by the shackled condition of
the German press, sufficient has leak
ed through to indicate that the Ger
man empire is facing a great econom-
ic and political crisis.
The latest information is that 1o,-
600 striking munition workers have
engaged in bloody rioting at the great
Prussian fortress of Magdeburg, and
that they were only prevented from
burning the city hall after a sharp
clash with the military.
The story comes from the Dutch
frontier with sufficient detail to make
the claims to its authenticity impress
i've. On its heels arrives an account
Of demands of such a revolutionary
character by the leaders of the Berlin,
strike that compliance with them
would mean the prompt ending of the
military regime in Germany. 1t is
significant that they include a de-
mand for the immediate release Of ali
political prisoners.
Another indication Of the serious
ness Of the situation is found in the
fact that Gen. Won Hindenburg has
made personal appeal to the work
crs in which he denounces the strike
as inexcusable crimes against the
fighting forces.
In the meantime the French main
tain a relentless pressure against the
most vital points of the German de-
fcnses-the sharp angle where the
German line from Lens turns east to-
ward Rheims.
The British are believed to be pre-
pairing to deliver soon another trc-
mendous blow. The British last
night, after ..arr lighting, captured
the village of Gonnelieu, advancing
more than a mile nearer the German
line between Cambrai and st. Quen-
tin. The French gained ground in 4
movement toward Brimont Plateau.

pulled German attacks in Champagne.

New York, April 23.-Ushered In by
prolonged artillery bombardment re-
newed attack on the German lines was
begun at dawn by the British on both
sides Of the river Scarpe. The extent
Of the attack has not been clearly de-
veloped, but 1t is officially announced
to have opened on a wide front. Sat-
isfactory progress Is reported. Early
details show that the British attack
shattered the last remaining defenses
Of the Hindenburg line north Of the
Scarpe by taking the town of Gavrelle,
after advancing q mile. The British
south Of the Scarpe captured the viii
lage of Guemappe and took a thou.
sand prisoners.
German announcements said that
the British entered German trenches
northwest of Lens last night, but were
repulsed by a counter attack.
There was infantry fighting on a
wide front this morning. In the
meantime the French are rapidly con-
solidating last weeks gains. The ar
tillery. however, was still busy break
ing down two attempted German at
tacks last night. IL is announced.
What may be a new German move
of vital importance is announced in a
Petrograd dispatch. saying that the
German transports have departed
fgrom Lbau, on Baltic. for unknown
destination. This may mean a land
and sea attack on Petrograd.
The Turks are still retreating up the
Tigris before the British advance.
