FIND HUN BODIES IN HEAPS
The Enemy, Attacking In Waves, Take
Positlons-The French Promptly
Retake the Territory.

French Headquarters in France
The enemy succeeded, at an immense
cost, in pushing his advance from a
mile to three miles deeper into the al.
lied front. At Marqueglise, the south
ernmost point of the salient, he was
seven miles from his starting point.
The fighting was almost unprece
dented in fury. The Germans, continu'
ing to attack in compact masses, were
moved down by the allied gun fire.
Wave succeeded wave in the attack,
and when a position is finally taken
by the enemy it is frequently prompt
ly retaken by the French. In these
counter-attacks the French invariably
find the ground Uttered with German
dead, the bodies often lying in heaps.
The Germans, 1t Is estimated, had
used between 20 and 80 divisions. AS
the enemy's advance is slow, he is
able to bring up his light artillery,
while the heavier guns are still being
fired from their old positions.
The artillery strength Of the two
armies is almost equal, although the
gun fire of the French Is more effec'
tive because the French are more IA
miliar with the ground. The fierce
ness of the fighting and the inflexible
determination with which the enemy
accepts his shocking losses, indicate
that he is determined to continue until
complete victory or complete exhaus
ton ensues in the decisive battle OF
the year

President Wilson in his address to
the Mexican newspaper editors in
Washington expressed sincere friend
ship for Mexico. His address, printed
in the Havana morning newspapers,
follows in part:
Il have never received a group Of
men who were more welcome than
you, because it has been one of my
distresses during my presidency that
the Mexican people did not more thor.
oVghly understand the attitude Of the
United States toward Mexico. think
| can assure you that that attitude is
one Of sincere friendship.
"The policy of my administration
toward Mexico was in every point
based upon the principle that the in,
ternal settlement of the affairs OF
Mexico was none Of our business, that
we had no right to interfere with or
dictate to Mexico In any particular
with regard to her own affairs. When
we sent troops into Mexico our sin.
cere desire was nothing else than to

assurance that | had given your gov.
ernment through President Carranza.
AT the present time it distresses
me to learn that cerain influences,
which ! assume to be German in their
origin, are not only trying to make a
wrong impression throughout Mexico
as to the purpose of the United States
but to give absolutely untrue account
OF things that happened.

Hylan, in Reversal,
Signs Subway Bill

Mayor Hylan about-faced Yesterday
and signed the so-ca!led Lockwood bill
providing for readjustment of exist
ing uncompleted subway contracts in
order to afford relief to contractors
from financial embarrassment owing to
the scarcity of labor and the high price
OF materials under war conditions. The
measure was vigorously urged by the
Public Service Commission, and as
vigorously opposed by the Mayor. The
latter had insisted that the contractors
deserved no relief and should be made
to fulfil their contracts.
The Public Service Commission and
others interested in the measure
pointed out that some of the contrac-
tors would be forced into bankruptcy
unless they obtained some relief, and
that important subway work would con-
soquently be tied up Indefinitely. The
Mayor made the following brief state
ment in regard to his action:
II have serious doubts as to the ne
cessity of this bill and the Corporation
Counsel advises me there is grave
doubt in his mind as to its constitu-
titnality. In view, however, of the per-
sistent efforts of the Public Service
Commission III support of this bill and
after comforting with the Board of
Estimate. have concluded to accept
it on behalf of the City of New York. u
The Mayor vetoed the bill to abolish
the Sinking Fund Commission. He
issued no statement in connection with
his exercise Of the veto power.

REYNOLDS Indicted on
Gambling Charge

Thomas L. Reynolds, former Tam
many politician and associate of the
late "Big Tim" Sullivan, was indicted
yesterday on charge of being a COM
mon gambler. Assistant District Attor-
ney James f. Smith, in charge of the
case, said last night he was investigat
ing complaints that Reynolds had used
a bogus stamp in order to certify
checks. These, Mr.. Smith said, Reyn-
olds never negotiated, but used them
in order to convey the appearance of
being ready money" Reynolds's
place in West Sixty-eighth Street was
raided Sunday night.
District Attorney Swami seid last
night he was investigating alleged re-
lations which Reynolds had with a
City Magistrate. He said Reynolds
was arrested. Mr.. Swami is also in
quiring into the relations of the same
magistrate with another man who, Mr..
Swami says, is notorious professional
gambler whose name appeared often in
connection with the doings of George
y Bauchle's Partridge Club" an or
ganization of gamblers which met every
week in the Hotel Imperial.
Last Friday" said Mr.. Swami, "this
gamblers chauffeur drove downtown to
get this magistrate and bring him up
town to the boss's hotel, after which
they went to the ball game. This mag
istrate recently dismissed complaints
against thirty-six keepers of alleged
disorderly houses. He has also stated
to his friends that he believes the
prosecution of gamblers who run de-
cent places is tommyrot. The statutes
and state constitution say differently.
and this judge has sworn duty to per.
form" ~ ~

Hylan's s Removal
Will Be Sought,
Says Alderman
Democrats Will Favor
Ousting Him in 3 Months,
w. F. Quinn Predicts

At meeting of the Board of Alder
men yesterday William T. Quinn, Of
the 11th Aldermanic District, Manhat-
tan, predicted that within few months
Democrats and Republicans would, with
one accord, call on Governor Whitman
to remove the Mayor of New York City.
"The Democrats will be unanimous
with us in few months in calling on
Governor Whitman to remove the
Mayor of New York City," said Alder
man Quinn, "otherwise there will be
no Democratic party in New York"
The alderman's remarks were made
during the discussion of a resolution
offered by Alderman Lee, Socialist, de-
manding that the Committee on Rules
report out his resolution providing for
special committee to investigate the
Health Department. Mr.. Lee also asked
that the proposed committee look into
the resignation of DR.. Amster, Health
Commissioner. The Republicans lined
up with the Socialists on the Lee reso-
luton, but it was voted down.
Alderman Quinn said:
1T makes me laugh TO see the Demo-
Gratis trying to fix things up for the
Mayor, especially after hearing what
they called him. It's funny how they
try to defend the way he forced out
another of his commissioners. He's
trying to make family affair out of
all the departments"
Several of the Socialist aldermen at
tackled the Mayor for his "petty inter
ference" in the city departments, par
ticularly the Health Department. One
or two Of the Tammany aldermen came
to the Mayors rescue, declaring that
he had right to supervise the depart
ments. Alderman William P. Kenneally,
one of the Tammany floor leaders, de-
clared that it made no difference whom
the Mayor appointed, the Republicans
and Socialists were bound to oppose
him as matter of politics.
IL hope that the members will sup
port the Committee on Rules" said
Alderman Kenneally, "and let it re-
port out Alderman Lees resolution
when it pleases. l want to serve notice
| right now that the Democratic mem
bers will stand behind Mayor Hylan."
"For three months; that's the most
shouted an unidentified alderman from
the centre of the chamber, causing a
general laugh.

Refreshments of a nature particu-

were found for select few, thanks to
the good nature of Private Allan E.
lMattox, of the United States Ambu-
lance, up from Allentown, Penn, to
thrill Broadway as the French officer
IN "Goodby, Bill" He found the
Frenchmen rubbing their chins wor-
riedly. wandering up and down the
sidewalk in front of the armory. He
speaks French, and so offered his SER
vices as personal conductor to a bar
ber shop.
Afterward he landed his partv in
Mouquins. There the Frenchmen had
another lovefest with the walters, and
Private Mattox, we hasten to add,
quenched his thirst with ginger ale.
Then he took them to bank to have
SO some m, French money changed and down
Filth Avenue for a stroll.
"Ah, la, la, la!" cried one of the
yslghtseers suddenly, pointing to the
F}atiron Building, "c'est la maison du
ter rlepasser! I have seen on post
cards the picture"
Private Mattox's little party proved
so successful that Mrs. Oren Root, who
is in charge Of entertainment for the
visitors at the Goth Regiment Armory,
appointed him official guide for the
duration of their stay. 1t is he who has
promised to pilot Jean Brochet to the
homes OF dozen young women whose
addresses were given him by friends in
the regiment before Amiens when he
left, and has promised to take the en-
tire one hundred "blue devils" to the
Statue of Liberty and to "Goodby.

I'VE mean to run 'em and feed 'em

guess If the Germans couldn't kill them
with shrapnel we won't kill them with
ice cream"
To-day the Frenchmen will stand
guard over the relics of Verdun and
the Marne which are on exhibition at
the 69th Regiment Armory. The cere-
mony of posting the guard will be en-
acted with all the military formality
which accompanies the posting of the

Bristol City Line
Gets Temporary
Lease of Pier 60

Dock Commissioner Hubert yester-
day issued revocable permit to the
Bristol City Line for the use of Pier
60. North River, for $4,000 a month
This gives the Occident Dock Company
subsidiary of the Bristol Line and
the present lessee, a chance to hold
over after May !, pending the litiga-
tion on the lease to the Hudson Dock
and Terminal Corporation, as approved
and later rescinded by the Sinking
Fund Commission.
The Dock Commissioner explained
that he had refused to consider the
Occident Dock Company in granting a
temporary lease of the pier because
at had admitted to the Tax Board that
it had no assets in the treasury and
that there were heavy liabilities" :"
as for the Bristol Line, were perfectly
satisfied with the arrangement. They
will be relieved for at least a month
of the expense of moving without any
available pier to carry on war work
The argument on the order of Justice
Greenbaum to refer the controversy
over the pier lease to referee. from
which the Corporation Counsel took
an appeal, is expected to come before
the Appellate DIVISION OF the SupreN m e
Court Commissioner Hubert in let
ting the pier temporarily TO the Bristol
City Line, said that he had been ad-
vised that the company was engaged
in war work. The Bristol is an Eng
lish company and has been transport
ing war supplies.
The motion for temporary injunc-
tion restraining the city from leasing
the pier, pending a suit for specific
performance of contract against the
city, was adjourned until, to morrow
Mr.. Wempie, counsel for the Hudson
Dock and Terminal Corporation, con-
tends that the action of the Sinking
Fund Commission in approving the
lease of the pier to the Hudson Cor.
poration for $4,000 annually consti-
tuted binding contract.
George w. Field, of counsel for the
Bristol City Line, said last night he
would oppose an Injunction to the
Hudson Corporation. He said he would
ask the court for a stay of the pro.
ceedings until the injunction obtained
/ by the Occidcnt Dock Company was
passed upon by the Appellate Division
