AMERICAN TROOPS
 REPULSE GERMANS
THREE GERMAN PRISONERS RE- MANNED IN AMERICAN HANDS,
 RAID A COMPLETE FAILURE.
AMERICAN CAPTAIN KILLED
Ground in Front of Trenches Strewn With German Dead-Enemy Shells in Great Numbers Were Dropped
 On American Battery Positions.

With the American Army in France. American troops repulsed a strong German attack ill the salient north of Foul. There were many American casualties. One of the killed was A captain who was graduated from West Point in 1917
 The raid was a complete failure. Three German prisoners remained in American hands. The ground in front of the trenches was strewn with German dead.
 A driving, wet snow was falling when the Germans opened fire on the American salient with every weapon at their command. Seventy-sevens, heavy shells and gas shells fell in q whirlwind on the American trenches for a half hour At the same time other enemy shells in great numbers were dropping on the American bat tery positions.
 The Germans, evidently thinking that the Americans in this sector having had one taste of gas a few days ago would fear it now, let loose great quantities of poisonous gas, but the men put on their masks and only a few were affected. So intense was the fire that the woods back of the salient were shot to pieces.
 At 6 o'clock the barrage fire lifted on the trenches to the right of the salient and 240 Germans came sweep ing forward under the protection of their fire. They apparently intended to make big haul and jumped into what was left of the trenches, but there they found the Americans all ready for battle Fierce hand-to-hand fighting began.
 An American captain rallied mon with rifles and machine guns and went through the American entangle- ment into No Mans Land and there waited for the enemy, whom he ex' pected to be driven out by his com rades in the trenches. He was right, for soon groups of the enemy started back through the wire entanglements. The Americans poured in a deadly fire. The captain was killed during the fight. He is the first member of the 1917 class at West Point to be killed.
 While the Americans were in front of the wire entanglements and ia shell holes still fighting desperately, the American barrage fire began again sweeping No Mans Land, catch ing many running Prussians, who had had enough of American methods. The barrage swept back and forth, making sure of doing all possible dam age to the foe.

VIENNA AND BERLIN
 ARE NEAR A BREAK
STRAINED RELATIONS BETWEEN TWO GOVERNMENTS TENSE
 WILL NOT FIGHT RUSSIA.

Washington. - Further evidence of the growing strain in relations be- tween Germany and Austria over the refusal Of the later to participate in the renewed attack upon Russia is given in an official dispatch received here from France. It quotes the Aus Irian premier as formally reiterating on February O. that Austria-Hungary will take 10 part in military action against Russia or BOumania and will not send her troops into Ukrania.
 The dispatch refers to the meeting between Emperors Charles and Will liam February p, and says there seems little doubt that a serious con Hict has arisen between the two na- tions, which German is determined to settle by violent measures if neces- sary.
 The dispatch follows:
 Charles I paid a visit to William II the 22d of February. Lundendorf was present at the interview If We are to judge from the tone of the tn- terview. it must have been lacking in cordiality. There seems to be little doubt but what a serious conflict has broken out during the week between the courts of Vienna and Berlin, and which German is determined to set tie if need be by violent measures.
 The international situation of the dual monarchy is such that the Vien- na government in order to avoid a ca tastrophe has been obliged to distin- guish by means of public declarations it's own policy from that of Germany. The report that at the conferences of February 14. Hertling and Luden- dorff had decided to pay no attention to the Russian demObilization and to prepare to begin again the conflict on the east front caused a great stir throughout Austria.
 It was not simply the dissenting nationalities of Czechs, the Slovenes or the Poles. who do not desire to fight any more, but it is the mass of the population of German origin who refuse to sacrifice themselves any longer to assure the triumph of Prus- sian imperalism.

HERTLING STATES
 EASTERN WAR AIMS
ONLY INTENDED TO SECURE THE FRUITS OF UKRAINE PEACE
 PURPOSE TOWARD POLAND.

Amsterdam. - The central powers intend to give selfgovernment to the provinces of Courland and Lithunia, Imperial Chancellor won Hertl!ng de- clared in his address to the Reichs- tag.
 The operations of the central pow CTS in the east, the chancellor said, were being carried out with the sole aim Of securing the fruits of the peace with Ukraine. He added:
 We do not intend to establish our selves in Esthonia or LiYonia"
 The chancellor asserted the central powers had freed Poland with the in- tention of calling an independent state into existence. The constitu- tional problem involved was still being discussed in it's narrow sense, he said, by the three countries in volyed.
 Our war aims from the beginning were defense of the fatherland, main tenance of our territorial integrity and freedom of our economic develop ment," said the chancellor. Our vel fare, even where it must be aggres- siye in action, is defensive in aim 1 lay special stress upon that just now in order that no misunderstanding may arise in regard to our operations in the east. Their sole aim is to se- cure the fruits of our peace with the Ukraine"
 Following is a partial report of Von Hertling's speech.
 After a few preliminary remarks by pr. Hermann s. Paasehe, vice president of the Reichstag, and the first reading Of the budget, Count von Hertling arose and said:
 "The Reichstag has a right to re- ceive an explanatory statement in re- gard to the foreign situation and the attitude of the government concern ing it. l will meet the obligation aris- ing therefrom, even though I enter tain certain doubts as to the utility and success of dialogues carried on by ministers and statesmen of bellig- erent countries.

Runciman in the House of COlulllOAlo lCCClllS, tApie eSStu lL6 opinion that we wolud get much near CT peace if instead of this, responsi- ble representatives of the belligerent powers would come together in an in- innate meeting for discussion I can only agree with him that that would be tae way to remove numerous in- tentional and unintentional misunder- standings and compel our enemies to take our words as they are meant, and on their part also to show their colors. I cannot at any rate discover that the words which l spoke here on two occasions were received in hos tile countries effectively and with out prejudice. Moreover, discussion In any intimate gathering alone could lead to understanding on many undi- vidual questions which can really be settled only by compromise.
