SEVEN GERMANS RECAPTURED.
Tried to Escape from Interned Steamers
at Philadelphia Yard.

Philadelphia, March 20.-Taking ad
vantage of the darkness seven sailors
of the German commerce raiders kron-
prinz Wilhelm and Prinz Eitel Fred
rich. interned at the Philadelphia navy
yard, made an attempt to escape last
night, all seven being captured by ma
rines and police after shots were fired
at the fugitives.
A sentry on post near the raiders
heard several splashes in the back chan
mel and fired warning shot. A police
guard near the channel say they saw
four of the German sailors swimming
about fifty yards from the interned yes
sells and discharged their revolvers over
the heads of the men. The four Ger
mans turned and swan back to the sea
wall, surrendering without resistance.
Meantime, as marine detachment
was rushed toward the back channel
three other German sailors slipped into
the meadows. Running along the sea
wall to avoid the barbed wire barricade
partly encircling the interned ships, they
tried to slip away.
Mounted police galloped over the
meadows and caught two of the fleeing
men. The other one was found soon
afterwards hiding behind a bush,

United States Won't Follow
His Proposal for World
Peace
STATE DEPARTMENT
SENDS HIM WORD
Chief Ground Is the Hope
lessness of the
Scheme

Washington, D. O., March 20.-A note
to Carranza declining proposal for neu-
trail action to bring peace to Europe by
cutting off exports of supplies to the bel
hgerents was made public to-day by the
state department. The refusal is based
first upon the apparent hopelessness OF
peace at the present time as shown in
the futility of President Wilson's efforts
and Germany's attempts to embroil Mex
leo and Japan in a war with the United
States. and in a belief that any restric-
tion of commerce with the belligerents
would, in effect, be an unneutral discrm-
ination.

the Northumberland
People Are Allowed to
Hear of the Retreat for
the First Time To-day

French troops, pushing hard on the
heels of the retreating Germans. are to-
day within striking distance of the Hin.
denburg line, the supposed goal OF their
retiring foe. Troops OF General Nivelle
yesterday were rushing toward St Quen-
tin at rate almost unprecedented in
the present world war and had reached
a point within five miles of the city !;
and unless some unheralded factor en-
tered into the situation the French have
by this time either reached st. QUEEN
TIN or the German retreat has halted.
In the meantime to the north the Brit.
ish are doggedly pushing forward toward
Cambrai and apparently are within strk.
ing distance of that town.
French artillery observers estimate
that the German retirement already has
released from 600 TO 100000 German
troops who are now available for the
appreciated counter offensive to be
launched against the allied lines at some
speculative point. The Paris newspa pers
regard such a move on the part OF Won
Hindenburg as almost certain and they
discuss the possibility of another tre-
mendous effort to smash way through
to Calais.
Meanwhile the Russians and British
are keeping up their strong offensives
against the Turks in Asia Minor, Persia
and Mesopotamia. Along the Diala river
the British have occupied the village OF
Bahriz and portion of the town of Ba-
kubah, about 25 miles northeast of Bag
dad and the Turks are reported TO be in
hasty retreat toward Khanikan, on the
Turco- Persian front, a little to the
northwest of kermanshah. In this re-
gion the Ottoman forces are likely short
ly to meet the oncoming Russians, who
are reported by Petrograd TO have dis
lodged the Turks from the town of Ha-
20 miles southwest of Herman
shah.
The situation on the eastern front in
Russia in, Galicia and Rumania is un
changed. Artillery duels and small in
fantry engagements continue ON the Aus
tro-Italian front.

FRENCH CAVALRY ACTIVE.

mans.

Paris, March 20.--The French troops
have occupied about 20 additional small
towns and villages in their advance after
the retreating Germans. They have gone
beyond Ham on the Somme river and
Chauny on the Disc, which brings them
appreciably nearer to the st. Quentin
Laon line. The official statement of the
| war Office last night announcing these
gains, said:
"In the course OF the day our troops
have gone beyond Ham on.4the Somme
river and Chauny on the Disc. We hold
great number OF localities between
these two towns.
"Our cavalry, diverging several kilo-
meters north of Ham, captured convoy
which was retiring in the direction of st.
Quentin. Our advance reached on this
point depth of 35 kilometers NEARLY %
miles,.
"South of Chauny our detachments
reached the general line of Ailette Sois-
sons which has been entirely cleared
progressed along the road to Maubeuge
To-day about 20 additional villages
and small towns were liberated.
"The enemy before his retirement dev,
astated the country, Fruit trees were
cut or torn down; fields were overturned
by mines, which had opened up great
craters; numerous Villages were com
pletely burned. The inhabitants, with
out shelter or sustenance, were fed by
our troops. Roads of communication
were cut at several points and all
bridges were DESTROYED
In Champagne the artillery lighting
became violent in the afternoon in the
region of the Butte Er Mesnil and west
of Auberiye.
"On the left bankf Of the Meuse we
recaptured almost all the trench elements
which the enemy had entered. The fight

Suspected Infantile Paralysis Patients
Did Not Have Disease

Waterbury, March 20.-Because it was
thought that there were two or three
suspected cases of infantile paralysis. DR.
Taylor and his assistant from the state
board OF health office were called here
yesterday. On examination it was found
that the cases under suspicion were not
afflicted with the contagion and after
visiting those quarantined they returned
home This somewhat relieves the fear
of long siege during which all places Of

fected, is improving slowly. The others
