AME ER|CAN FLAG
IS CARRIED INTO
FRENCH BATTLE
A Texan Fighting With Cana
dian Troops Fixes it to
His Bayonet.

Ottawa, April 1.-THE Stars and
Stripes went into battle for the first
time during the world war during the
recent entente storming of Vimy ridge,
in France, according to an unofficial
dispatch received here today from the
Canadian army headquarters In Eu-
rope.
ITO young Texan who came to
Ontario to enlist and who is now lying
wounded in the hospital the dispatch
reads. belongs the honor of first car
rying the American flag into battle in
the European war, to which the
United States as a beligerent has Just
entered. He went to the assault at
Thelus carrying the Stars and Stripes
on his bayonet and fell carrying the
flag"
The dispatch says the victory of
the Canadians in the struggle for
Vimy ridge is more thorough than
indicated by first reports. The only
obscurity as late as Tuesday morning
surrounded the position of Hill 145
For the retention of this" the mes
sage says. the enemy fought with
the utmost determination Monday
afternoon. The hill is an earthen
fortress of the first importance with
many underground galleries and con-
crete machine gun emplacements. This
hill is isolated on three sides from the
German lines. The surrender is not
in doubt.
Much war material was left behind
by the fleeing foe, including an as yet
unestimated number of heavy guns,
The yield of prisoners is much larger
than the first reports indicated. AL
ready $3.50 men, including go officers,
have been recorded and many more
are to come. The final total may
reach 1000 prisoners to the Canadian
troops alone"
Advices to the militia department
indicated the Canadian casualties
around Vimy were SO officers. At
the usual percentage this would mean
about 1900 men. The figures are
considered light in view of the number
engaged.

Only as an Emergency.

Representative Kitchin said he had
not thoroughly examined the war de-
partment plan and was not ready to
commit himself on it. Some of his
friends said that he was for conscrip-
tion only as an emergency measure.
The president went over details of
several other war measures with the
two leaders, primarily to urge prompt
action and learn the prevailing sent-
ment of the house membership.
Indications were that he would con-
tinue to insist upon the war depart
ment plan as drawn though sentiment
appeared to be developing for putting
a provision into the measure under
which an effort would be made first
to raise the army by volunteers.

April IL (via London) .-(From staff
correspondent of the associated press)
The speed and power of the British
assault, in what will probably be
known In history as the battle of Arras,
seem to have surprised the Germans
SO much so in fact that their usual
retaliatory artillery fire has been
negligible in the last two days. This is
partly due. of course to the number of
guns captured, to which must be added
the number knocked out by the British
artillery before the actual assault be-
gan. 1t is also due to the fact that the
Germans have been too busy trying to
get their remaining guns away from
immediate danger to bother firing
them at the enemy. In a German ar
tillery position east of Arras, known as
Battery valley. could be seen the re-
mains of "a field pieces today.
