the Fairmont, Morgantown. and Pitts

the, cargo had been landed when It be-
came apparent that a wharf is now a
necessity. The city and the boat own.

WASHINGTON, May 4.The British
forces on the, western front are two
weeks ahead Of their attacking seized
ule, according to a cablegram recety-
ed here today by Secretary BalfouT
from the Foreign office. The advance,
1t says, has been much faster than q
pected and the losses smaller.
The losses were said to be only
one-half as large proportionately 81
those on the Somme offensive last
year. This is attributed by members
Of the mission to an incomparabIy
better artillery preparation and the
fact that the men are not allowed u
outrun the guns.

GERMANS FIGHT BRAVEl
Two Weeks Ahead Of Seized

BaIfour.
GERMANS FIGHT BRAVIE.II.'

The British have burst through TIC
Oppy line and are fighting the bloodi
est and sternest battle Of the present
offensive in a great effort to smash
the famous Wotan line before its Or
ganization is completed.
The Hindenburg line, outdanlzed and
pierced in several places, has failed
to stop the forward surge Of the Brit
tsh army and the Wotan positionssars
the last great barrier barring the road
to Douai, Cambria and Germany rich
est prize in France, the great coal end
iron fields north Of France.
The Wotan line runs from Drocouft
to Queant a stretch Of is miles running
north and south about five miles west
Of Douai and Crabrai. Around Queani
the southern extremity Of the line
General Haig has formed a great HUI
man nippers and is striking with all
the power at his command to Close Tho
jaws Of these nippers.
Realizing the menace OF the eltuo.
ton, the Germans are lighting With
grim determination which recItons 40
cost in blood too high Il 1t halts the
advancing foe.
The renewed fury into which tte
great battle of Arras has famed has
diverted attention from the possibly
more significant events which are
shaping behind the battle front. The
German censorship has lifted as FAT
as to allow newspapers and mails from
Germany once more to reach the outer
world but there is little informatic Ion
as yet as to what has transpired With
in the borders Of the German empire
during the last week.
