Fifteen-M Mile Front.
IMPLICIT HEAVY CASUALTIES

Teutonie Line Is Pierced to a Depth
of From Two to Three Miles and
Thousands of Prisoners and consid.

ish Hands.
London, April 1O.-What seemingly
is the beginning of a big offensive by
British forces in France has begun
along a fifteen-mile line extending
from Lens to the village Of Henin-Sur.
Cojeul, southeast Of Arras.
On the entire line big gains have
been made everywhere. Heavy cas-.
ualties have been inflicted on the Ger.
mans and in addition prisoners run
ming into the thousands-5,S16 already
have been counted-and great quanti-
ties of war material were captured.
The operations still are in progress.
The British casualties are declared to
have been slight. r.. i
Probably the greatest gains were
made on a twelve.mile front from
Givenchy-En- Gohelle, north Of Arras.
to Henin-Sur-Cojeul, southeast of
Arras. rs. r@'tt ..' s@@
Here defenses of all kinds, some of
them most heavily fortified. were cap
tured. Notable among the positions is
the famous Vimy ridge, which has
been the center of sanguinary encoun-
tiers.
The German line was penetrated to
q depth of from two to three miles
and the British still were pressing for
ward. .,.. .. ....... :. .,"..- +

than small encounters and artillery
duels. " - iG5
The thrust of the British was quick

they made against positions that prev
iously had been considered almost i'm
pregnable. ..-...s /
The artillery preparation before the
infantry attacks we're launched Is de-
scribed as resembling a veritable in
ferno.
The British also struck viciously in
the region of Cambrai, where the vii
lage of Demicourt was captured, and
further progress was made in the
of the Havincourt wood,
while still farther south additional
gains were made around St. Quentin.
The intensive aerial activity con-
tinues between the British and Ger
mans. London reports two German
destroyed and fifteen others
driven out and ten British airplanes
failed to return,
On the part of the line held by the
French there has been artillery &C
tivity except in the Parroy forest,
where German attack against an ad-
vanced post was repulsed. Rheims
still is being bombarded by the Ger
mans. .....l. &c..

War With Germany Would Mean
Rupture With Dual Monarchy.
Washington, April 10.-Although war
with Austria is thought to be virtual

of diplomatic relations with the Unit
ed States by the Vienna government
President Wilson is described as hav-
ing no intention to force it. 5.:,a5 o.
It is the belief here the president
will not ask congress to declare .
state of war unless some overt act 10
committed against the United States.
In a statement regarding negotia.
tons with the Austrian government
following Germany's announcement Of
unrestricted submarine warfare the
state department revealed that on
April l, before President Wilson went
before congress to ask for declaration
of state of war with Germany, Aus.

would mean q break. ...
This notification brought to an
abrupt end the state departments et-
forts to dissuade the Austrian foreign
office from adhering fully to the Ger
man submarine policy. .H

On the part of Austria there was
evident q desire to maintain friendly
relations, but an increasing inability
to do SO because Of German pressure.

 The following letter speaks plainly of the boys appreciation of the great lot of comfort bags which the Red Cross committee has sent:
 Sunday, November 25. Dear Mrs. Porter:
 l got the package from you We'd nesday and I surely did appreciate everything you sent. All soldiers do, though. l would have written sooner, but I have been working every day and Sunday, too, for the past six weeks.
 There never was a place like Flag staff, Arizona, and as soon as they will let me go, will be back there on the fastest train. I am always telling someone about it and I always tell them that if they are there week after we are discharged they will find me.
 There are about a half a dozen boys in the squadron from Arizona, but not another from Flagstaff.
 Again thank you for the package, and those at home never realize what things mean to a soldier.
 Your friend, :,

 The school children have been doing a good work this week by assisting in disposing of Red Cross stamps. Some thirty-five hundred sales have been the results of these efforts on their part and as yet they are not through.

 Each week there are fresh instanc- es of Flagstaff enthusiasm over the work of the Red Cross Chapter.
 Twelve fine packing boxes were donated this week for the articles to be shipped. This is the gift of the Arizona Lumber & Timber Co.

 Weeping may endure for night, but joy cometh in the morning."
 Never was this more true than when the workers in the Red Cross work room found Mrs. w. H. Porter was to be restored to the chairmanship again. No "get together" was more enthusiastic than the one of Tuesday morning, and while vast amount of work was awaiting Mrs. Porter as chairman, she yet found time to voice her appreciation of the continued fav- or of her co-workers. The work for the day was pushed forward rapidly, in fact, the place resembled busy plant, as one lady expressed it, turn ing out with regularity and precision the different allotments.
 Would you be convinced of this ? On Tuesday three more large boxes stood ready for shipment, one of sur gical gauge, which contained twelve hundred articles; l of hospital linens, and third of muslin surgicals. Be sides these, splendid array of knit ted goods were sent off.
 The comfort bag committee under Mrs. Honn had to supervise the pack ing of twenty-five more Xmas pack ages; this, added to a recent shipment makes one hundred and fifty-seven sent from here to the Pacific Divis- ion. Let us whisper, too, that these extra ones had to be sent because some other chapters fell down on their allotment. Doesn't this prove Flag. staff to the fore?
 Next Tuesday the Xmas boxes for our own Coconino boys will be pack ed. Arrangements are being made SC that two hundred may be taken care of. Donations of money and edibles are being lavishly given. Every volunteer and drafted boy will be re- membered.
