German Batteries
Trapped by Speed
OF French Attack
Defenders of Chemin-des- Danes
Ridge Unable to Stem
Nivelles Advance

On tho French Front in France, Fri
day. April Pushing steadily here,
storming with great dash there, defeat
ing terrific German counter attacks and
taking thousands Of prisoners, the
French carried their victorious forward
move further to-day along the entire
front from Scissors 70 Auberive. Hun
dreds OF thousands Of men face each
other in this latest battle. wherein
skilful attack is met by desperate de-
fence.
As the Associated Press correspon-
dent to-day observed section OF the
battle for the ridge upon which runs
the Chemin-des-Dames road branching
eastward from the great Maubeuge
road about four miles northward OF
Vailly and parallel with the Aisne
River. patches each Of 100 German pris-
oners marched toward the rear across
the fields and along the roads to aug
mont the 10000 already officially count
cd since the engagement began on Mon
day.
The fact that an entire German
ambulance section, together with It's
doctor. was taken in one haul of oris-
oner demonstrates the rapidly OIL
the action of the French troops. as
these sections always operate behind
the first fighting line. One French
companv got so far forward thai II
cut off and captured an entire German
battery which had limbered up with
all the horse teams harnessed 10 inc
guns in readiness to retire.
More than hundred cannon, some
of them as heavy as any taken mere
tofore. have been captured. besides
which many have been destroyer or
buried.
The French artillery fire to-day con-
stituted one continuous roll all along
the front. The Germans replied
heavily, but their guns were forced
gradually back.
Possession of Chemin-des-Demes
ridge gives the occupant excellent
positions for observation, and the Ger
mans fought desperately to retain IT,
They could not, however, stay Viz
French progress.
The method and care shown by the
French plans strikes the observer.
Everything goes like clockwork. Every
man and gun is in the proper place at
the right moment.
The broken character of the coun-
try adds to the difficulty of the Frencn
task of approaching and capturing. the
German positions, which oftentim2s
are in natural caverns or quarres,
easily defensible, and. in addition 70
the heavy artillery. are armed with
perfect hornets nests of machine
guns. In Ville-au-Bois 108 of these
weapons were captured in space

late Enlisting
May Be Rush Monday
Army and Navy Ranks Filling
Slowly, but Marine Corps
Is Doing Well

Parading bluejackets, National Guards
men and junior military organizations
Yesterday failed TO revive recruiting
DESPITE strenuous efforts by scores Of
organizations, the enrolling Offices were
empty most Of the time. and the
marines alone managed to approach
the enlistment figures of buster days.
The navy got only thirty-one in Man
haitian and Brooklyn, as compared with
more than a hundred earlier in the
week. The army enlisted eighty-four,
almost a hundred short of last Mon
days record. The marines swore in
twenty-seven and the Naval Reserve
about forty.
Officers on recruiting duty said en-
listments were always fewest on Sat
urday and Sunday, while Monday is
usually the busiest day of the week.
They believe another big rush will come
tomorrow.
The navy enlisted 400 men during
the week, and accepted All others, who
have not returned. out of total OF
1916 apI licants.
Totals for army recruiting were not
available last night, but 700 is the
approximate figure. To bring the army
to full war strength within two months
the district should give 500 men a day.
The marines have enlisted 25S men
l.
that the authorized strength of lI4OO
will be reached by May |.
Among the marine recruits yester-
day was Arthur Baker. a driver for
Charles Romeihs, a Newark lumber
dealer. Baker saw the recruiting sign
as his wagon, loaded with sawdust for
Billy Sundays Tabernacle, passed "a
East Twenty-third Street, and went in
to make inquiries. Fifteen minutes
later he telephoned his employer II
might be wise to send another driver
over if Sundays sawdust was to be de
livered.
Two more Barnum & Bailey show
men heard the call and enlisted. They
were f. ?. Gallagher and W. T. Meichle.
The St. Plus Catholic Athletic Club, OF
Jamaica. also became prominent IN
marine circles WuCn lllldlu a. CONt "a
lin. its president; James Turner, ITS
treasurer and a third member enlisted.
The three said that twenty-seven others
in the organization were planning the
same step.
Five recruits for the Naval Reserve
have been brought in by Robert 5. Nc
Creery. son of the department store
founder, who enlisted last week. The
fifth was John Matthews, his brother
in-law, who enrolled as a seaman. S.
A. Bennett member of the Hagemeyer
Trading Company. OF II Battery Place,
also enlisted as a seaman.
Seven hundred bluejackets from the
Brooklyn Navy Yard paraded at the
Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon to
stimulate recruiting in the Naval Re-
serve. Then they distributed 10000
circulars. after which they enjoyed the
game. They were commanded by Lieu
tenants Wilcox and Wright.

Corrupt Protests
Innocence as He
Goes to Chair
Humanitarian Cult Fights
to the Last to Save
Wife Slayer

Pctrus Won der Corrupt crossed the
threshold of Sing Sings death chamber
yesterday at noon. He had waited for
thirty-six hours while the Humanitar-
ian Cult battled to save his life. At
1929 p m. word came to Warden
Meyer that Justice Almet jerks, of
the Appellate Division, of the Supreme
Court, had refused a stay A minute
later the slayer had started down the
shoft corridor of the death house.
The execution was set for IL a. m.
the man waited in his cell. He knew
that attorneys were making a final
effort to obtain another stay in order
that argument of the case might again
be placed before the Court of General
Sessions He had confessed to Father
Cashin, he had received spiritual COM
fort and then he waited for the mes
sage that would spell life or death.
When it came he did not finch. After
the long torture of doubt the news that
he was to die at once seemed almost
a relief His footstep was firm as he
left his cell and started Tor the little
door, through which the inmates of the
death house pass but once. The voice
in which he called "Goodby!" to DR..
Arthur Warren Waite. and the eleven
other members of his sad fellowship,
was clear.
At his side walked the bleck-robed
priest. Behind him came Principal
Keeper Fred Dornor, and Warden
Meyer. pale, with the face Of sick
man. The condemned man was more
composed than he.
When they strapped Won der Corrupt
into the chair he ceased his prayer to
exclaim: 81 swear to God | am inno-
cent?"
The first shock was turned on at
1884. Twice the current again droned
its way through the mans body. At
1899 he was pronounced dead.
Won der Corrupt murdered Barbara
Wright, his common law wife. The
date of his execution was originally
fixed for Friday. On Thursday night
the Humanitarian Cult obtained a Su-
preme Court stay, later vacated

100000 Shells Fired

Curzon Declares Forth 2 ht's
Advance "a Very Consid-
cradle Victory"

London, April 21.-The military stu
alton at the present moment Is dis
tinctly encouraging to the Allies, de-
clared Earl Curzon, member of the War
Council, in an address at Derby to-day.
The government leader in the House OF
Lords said that he did not wish his
hearers to go away with the idea that
the end had come just yet, but there
was no doubt that the operations dur
ing the last fortnight on French SOIL
constituted a very considerable mill
tary victory.
These operations have shown the
wonderful superiority of British artll-
lery. which had fred 100000 rounds
Of ammunition into the ranks Of the
Germans. Earl Curzon said that IN his
opinion the military power of Germany
was not sufficiently broken to induce
her to accept any terms which the AL
lies might consider reasonable.
Referring TO the operations in the
East. Earl Gurzon said;

APPLE PUDDING, PIE STYLE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Take nice cooking apples, wash thoroughly, and if you are not going to save the pee1ing for apple jell, plunge them into boiling water 6or they peel thinner). If you are going to make jelly. spread out a newspaper and on one side of the paper keep for the perfect. parings and on the other put the imperfect paringS. Then as you pare your apples slice them in the dish you are to make your pudding in, putting 8 layer of apples, then a layer of sugar, cinnamon or When your dish is full as you wish, put them in the oven to bake.
 Put your parings over to boil in a. little water and then you can drain them, add sugar and let come to a boil; makes about. two tumblers of nice iell.
 When your apples are baked, take them out and pour off a little of the juice in pitcher, say three -fourtIls of a cup of juice. Make your crust of one cup of flour, little salt, one ta- blespoon lard, one teaspoon baking as little ice water as possible; roll a little thicker than pie crust. When you get it rolled out all ready for the top of the pudding, spread very evenly with butter and then rub with milk; bake IS minutes in a hot oven: serve hot with the juice you have taken out from the apples; havc it hot, add one cup of cream. and as you take out each serving butter the crust, then add the apple, pour on the sauce made of the juice and the cream. It is very nice. Try it.
 Another nice sauce is to beat up a white of an egg. add pinch of cream gar; beat to froth, then add juice.

HOW TO EcoNoMIzE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters Do you ever think how we should and can economize in dressing our littl 2 ones?
 Let me tell you how Mrs. L. econ oInizes in dressing her children. She is considered very competent and economical although not stfngy. They have two children girl and a boy could make for them and they always look well dressed. !4=and, neat Their boy is nine years old Mrs. L. makes all Of his lInderclotIles and No.IoIk suits out of, her husbands old clothes he usually buys good clothes, yotl' outside. and underclothes. When his underClOthing comes to mending she makes them over for the boy.
 Some may say 1t doesn't pay, for her to waste her time making them as they won't weaFs long enough to pay Tor the thread she uses. All she has made have worn two if not three seasons, and the net cost is the thread as she uses the buttons from one gar ment to another.
 About a year ago she made thre. Norfolk salts. 'oas spfiaS suit and tTa0 heavier ones which fietted her thirt. cents each fer pattern thread and lin ing for one pair of trousers. She uses tile same canvas padding, ..ainEr and buttons tf at were in the old its Of course she washed all material that she used. therefore it is as san
 
 ready made.
 first suit she made he wore it for best until spring then he used + common all summer riding in an au- to. As a rule an auto doesn't inn prove ones clothes.
 School opened Sept. 18th. The noy put the suit on for school and is still wearing it and it now looks as though it would do for school until spring
 By washing the material before making it over cleanses it and you know it can be washed if necessary When she makes more than one suit at a time she makes each one a little larger than the other so he won't out grow them. I can assure you that she saved s30 on those three suits, as: one can't buy suit with the work and material in them that's iEt those for S10 each.
 It took her three days to make each suit besides doing her house. work.
 Was it economy to make them over, or was it not? I can positively say if you could see the suits that Mrs L. makes for her boy no one would know but they came out of the best tailor shop in your otty.

 Never use cheap polisiles. Kerosene oil or vinegar. Get good grade of polish (the best Is none too good). First wipe the surface with a soft cloth wrung otit of clear warm (not hot) water. This will remove the grime and dust. Then give it a liberal coat of furniture polish. using at least two cloths to remove all excess polish, which will collect dust, Apply to cor ners and carvings with a soft brush. Cheesecioth is by far the best cloth to use.
 When reed furniture becomes soiled it can be made to look like new if thoroughly brushed with a dry, stiff scrub brush and then given a coat of golden oak varnish. Fibre furniture is usually chemically treated to make 1t waterproof, and is not affected by atmospheric conditions, consequently can be washed with white soap and water without afrecting the finish.
