FANCIFUL STORIES
 PRINTED IN BERLIN

Paris, April 25.-FrenCb uewa papers arc reproducing at length extraordinary accounts which have appeared in Germany of the situation said to have been produced by the long range bombardment in Paris The Cologne Gazette, The Tageblatt of Berlin, the semi-o official new agency, and the German governments news sheets and wireless dispatches picture living in Paris as almost un- bearable. Tho city is said to be al most without food and 1t is stated that busness has been suspended.
 The people of Paris arc greatly amused at these accounts because the city's life is going on as usual. The German tales are regarded as propa- ganda designed to keep up the spirits of the people during tho battle now in progress by making them believe their adversaries are worse off than they.

 .On the witness stand today, Captain Rowan admitted that he refused to obey the order of his commanding officer, Colonel Frederick E. Shaw. commander of the depot brigade at Camp Pike, when Colonel Shaw or dered him to lead out his company for brigade review. Captain Rowan said he had no negroes in his company at the time, but believed that if he com pelled his men t6participate in q cere- rnony in which they would see negroes intermingled with white men, he would be beraking his word to them in prom ising that they would be called upon to perform no dutyy that would lower their selfrespect.
 Several witnesses, officers and men, testified that there had been inter- mingling of the races in the depot brigade. that negro non commissioned officers had been placed over white privates and that white men had been compelled to cook for negro soldiers.

British Launch Counter At- tack and Sweep Germans
 Out of Villers-BretOnneux
British and French Are Forced to Yield Slightly at Two Points Wounded
 Americans Are Being Brought Into the Hospital Behind the French Lines

New York, April 2j.-The great double German drive in the Somme and Armentieres sectors which began Wednesday morning has developed into terrific struggle The tide O! battle has surged to and fro during the last two days with the decision still in the balance The British hay ing been forced back out of Viliers- Bretonneux, launched a counter at tack and swept the Germans back al most to the lines which were held be- fore the present fighting began. The French have been driven back out Of Hangard -en-Santerre but are holding their positions close by while on the line southwest of Ypres the British have been compelled to withdraw slightly before furious attacks along the MeterenLBailleul- -Wyts, haete line
 Wounded Americans are arriving at. 6 hospital behind the French lines in the Somme sector showing that Gen eral Pershing's men are bearing their share of the burden in the great bat tle.
 Notwithstanding the preparations ofI the Germans for their drive toward Amiens and the extreme violence orr Inc fighting their gains thus far in that region have been very smal. Along the line from Albert to Castel except at Hangard -en-Santerre the| German assaults have been hurled back by the allied forces which are strongly posted on the hieher ground to which they retired during the last days of the German drive in Picardy.
 It is unofficially reported that to1r| to six German divisions or from 4H'~| GOO to 72. 900 men have been hurled a the British and French lines near Ypres. The retirement of the British in this sector must have been small for there are no great gains reported bl Berlin so far It was rumored Thurs day that Mount Kemmel a dominating height north of Wulverghem, had been taken by the enemy but this has not been confirmed
 That only slight gains have been made anywhere along the two fronts which have been subjected to attack is proof that the allies are prepared to defend their position. In the last three weeks the Germans have hurried I'D heavy cannon to the SOmme battle, ground and have marched many fresh divisions to the points where they have been held for the moment of at tack. Their failure to do more than gain almost insignificant bits of ground is one of the most encouraging features of the fighting that is now going on and which may be looked upon as the third phase of the great German offensive.
 Raiding operations are reported along tho French lines east of Mont Didier.
 It is officially announced at The Hague that the negotiations between Germany and Holland "are not pro gressing satisfactorily"
