NEW WIDE TERRITORY
is TAKEN BY FRENCH
Continued from page y

a crossing of the Disc over a wide
front.
Along the front to the north of
Noyon, there apparently was little
change in the situation during last
night. The British operating south
of the Somme are said to be advanc-
ing, but details OF their progress do
not appear in official announce
ments.
Repulse Counter Attacks.
East Of Arras, the Germans have
launched heavy counter attacks, that
were repulsed, according to the Brit
ish official report, but it is admitted
by London that the British forces
holding positions at Oppy have been
withdrawn to the west of that vii
lage.
The Germans are apparently fight
ing rear guard actions along the
Canal du Nord, which runs from No
yon to Nesle. The French are close
to this waterway at Fresnoy wood.
The situation, as it stands today,
closely resembles that in the Marne
sector after the Germans had made
a determined stand along the Ourcq.
1t was found that their resistance
there had permitted the withdrawal
of the main German army on the
Marne salient, and it is probable that
General Won Boehn has succeeded
in moving the greater portion OF his
army and artillery behind the Sommc
river and along the Ham-Chauny
line.
The allied advance would seem to
indicate that the pocket OF the south
ern end of the battle line is being
emptied of the enemy and that there
is little hope that the allies will be
able to catch any large number of
enemy troops there.

LARGE CULTIVATED AREAS
ARE LOST TO THE ALLIES
Great Battle in France Ruins Many
Acres Worked by Army Behind
British Lines.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON. May 12.-Serfous loss re-
suited from the great battle in France
in the ruin Of great areas Of land be-
hind the old British lines which were
under cultivation by the army. The
British and French food production
departments were carrying out on a
large scale a scheme for growing
vegetables behind the lines for the use
Of the soldiers.
Tho last official figure Of the land
cultivated in this way in tho zone Of
tho British army was $4,000 acres. al
though in recent months the figure
has been much increased. A great
deal Of new work has been done in
the neighborhood Of Peronne. and at
Ham. Epehy and near Chauny. All
this land had been plowed with
American tractor plows and great
deal Of 1t planted with potatoes.
Another work which has been lost
is that begun by the Quakers to sue
cor the victims Of the war in the
territories won back from the Ger
mans a year ago. The Quakers had a
largo farm near Ham which was their
general headquarters. from which
they were sending out automobile
the returned peasants to restore their
market gardens and were providing
them with goats to replace the cattle
taken by tho enemy. This work will
probably have to be abandoned until
the war ends.

Lenine courier who has arrived here
from Moscow by way of Germany.

the Zimmerwaldists find extraordinary

no newspaper in Berlin. where their
meetings are forbidden, and only

propaganda platform for them. With

that peace will come by the govern

He AYERS that the opposition of the
small shopkeeper class has faded
away and that these, with the lower
bourgeoisie in the cities. now accept
the bolshevikis orders.
He makes the remarkable admis-
sion, however, that every one with
city dwellers and peasants are en-
gagged in an "implacable" night
against the bolsheviki. The courier
admits that food conditions are seri-
GUS in Petrograd. but says that they

LONDON, May 3o.-During Ger
many's March offensive quoted an
authority as saying, This is Tir-
pitzian politics in terms Of military
operations" Such undoubtedly are the
offensive operations now unfolding.
Admiral Tirpitz has proclaimed afresh
his faith in the theory that there is
one and only one outlet for Germany
toward her position in the sun
namely, the Atlantic. He sees no de-
cision, positive or negative" in any
other direction. Neither central Eu-
rope nor the orient nor the north of
Europe can supply us with the raw
materials requisite for our Industry,
he holds.
The redoubtable Teuton insists that
the sea must be freed from the
Tyranny of the Anglo-Saxon power"
DR.. Dernburg, agitated about a pos
sible economic boycott against the
central empires, indorses the TiAt
pitzian view that nothing Germany can
win in the east can compensate her
for isolation from 'three-quarters Of
the globe"
These protests, while esteemed per-
fectly sincere, are not diverting Brit
ish and French interest from the east
as a possible field for German ex-
ploitation.

TEA LEAVES NOT A FOOD,

LONDON. May 10.-Tea Is not

British food controllers order against
boarding, according to a decision
handed down by the kings bench
division Of the high court of justice.
The case under review was that OF
a woman who had been fined $3.50
for accommodating 122 pounds Of Eng
lands favorite beverage. The con-
troller's anti-hoarding order reads:
For the purpose of this order the
expression article of food shall in
clude every article which is used Tor
food by man. or which ordinarily
enters into the composition or prep
aration of human food"
The court said: Unless tea could
be got within the word food 1t
could not come within the prohibi-
tion. The appellant acquired dry tea
leaves. Nobody eats tea leaves. So
that what she ate was something diff
ferent from what she bought. If she
had acquired a drink there would
have been no prosecution. 1t would
be straining the order to say that the

''As a world power. Russia has

but it contains no element of danger.
Russia used to be her export of grain.

''In contrast to residue Russia the

the better, but 1t might be well II
Polish energies could be diverted to

matter of indifference to us. The lay

that hidden away IN that phrase 10
many a story of gallant seamanship.
During the month from March IS
to April is of this year sixty-four
British vessels were attacked unsuc-
cessfully by U-boats.
The submarine which attacks a de-
fensively armed merchantmen has no
longer a sure thing" During the
past month there were several cases
successful in an attack on a single
steamer. There are several cases.
also, in which the steamer completely
turned the tables on the German. and
sent him to the bottom instead
Even sailing ships frequently give
a good account of themselves against
the submarine. although in the nature
OF things they are much less easy to
maneuver than a ship with steam
power. The following is one such
case reported to the admiralty:
Sailing Ship Sinks U-Boat.
"a sailing ship was proceeding
leisurely on her course when the
lookout sighted a submarine on tho
starboard quarter. She lay quiet until
the U-boat came within range, and
then opened fire. The gun crew knew
their business. for they soon found
the target. and out Of thirteen shots.
eight direct hits were scored. The
U-boat, which had been vafnly twist
ing and turning to get out Of range.
suddenly went down by the bows. and
her stern stood clear of the water for
nearly half a minute. Then she dived
perpendicularly and came up again at
water. For a short space OF time she
remained in this position, and then
disappeared like a stone"
Early one afternoon the captain of
steamer in ballast saw the track OF
torpedo coming direct for his shin.
By a quick swing he succeeded in
evading it. Then the U-boat came out
of the water and opened fire, one of
his shells piercing the deck and
wrecking the second cooks cabin.
The steamer replied valiantly and
the encounter continued for four
all the time and keeping the subma-
rine dead astern. A shot from the
steamer struck the submarine amid.
ships but failed to do sufficient injury
TO force the German to discontinue
the action. But after four hours. the
steamer got the submarine into q
smoke cloud and a shell appeared to
burst close to the U-boats bow, after
which the enemy quit the chase.
In another attach which was sue
cessfully beaten of the merchant
mans gunners were handicapped
owing to the deck giving away under
the gun early in the action. Every
time the gun kicked the platform
under it jumped. The man who was
sighting it was injured, but the crew
continued firing, and eventually
forced the submarine to discontinue
the action. One of the first shots
from the submarine broke the WIRE
less aerials of the steamer. but the
wireless operator repaired the damage
under fire and got message through
to the nearest British destroyers.

its cordial consent to the organiza-

Early last summer American resi-

time have been actively engaged in
the rolling of bandages and making
of garments and other supplies for
the wounded at the front Some $4,000
yen has been subscribed by the Amer
lean community in Toxic and Yoko-
hama and a proportionate amount in
Kobe, while in Korea Americans have
devoted one-day-a-month earnings to
the cause.
In all. $4,000 has also been sub
scribed to liberty bonds. When it is
considered that the Christmas drive
