Crisis Thought Over

Although the battle proceeds there
is feeling that the greatest enemy
effort has been met and handled.
Doubtless he has more fresh divis-
ions which he will sacrifice, but there
is ample confidence in the heavy
days to come. There is also the feel
ing that the present attack may
shorten the cut to an Allied victory
1t was possible to determine that
this attack is probably his greatest
and main effort to win the war on
the battlefield Even yet, it is too
early to- speak with absolute pre-

FIND AMERICAN LABOR LOYAL
British Mission Says Workingmen
Stand Firmly Behind WiIson-A
Message From Gompers.

New York, April 16.-With a mes
sage to the British government and
people that American labor is Loyalty
behind President Wilson in the prose-
cution of the war, the British labor
mission, which for two months has
been touring the United States, has
departed for England.
In a statement given out after their
departure through the American al

British labor leaders, declared Amer

"At first" Appleton's statement
read, "the differences in comfort and
social well-being- brightly lighted
streets, the plentiful supplies of food,
the laughing careless happiness of the
people-an provided contrasts that
were too sharp for my nerves. Each

it easier to realize the fact that all

1.-THE immense area of America, the
extent and character Of its agricul-

but what has sunk most deeply into
my very soul is the absolutely unset

I am personally charged by Mr..
Samuel Gompers to convey to the

particularly to Mr.. Lloyd George, the
assurance the American Federation Of
Labor, and all who are directly and

Washington, April 1S.-The. house
military affairs committee after long
debate reported today to the house the
senate resolution providing for the
registration. of all men who have be-
come 81 years of age since June 3

The opposition to the senate meas
ure in committee centered around the
classification of more than 1 million
men who will be registered in the
draft under the QUESTIONABLE method.
Representatives Gordan, Shellenber-
ger and other members of the minor
ity wanted the committee to decide
whether the new registrants shall be
placed at the head of the list of avail
able men or be placed after those now
on the list.

without any material changes and left
this question to be settled by the pro-

CAMP LOGAN TROOPS MUTINY
One Hundred Soldiers Didn't Approve
of Transfers and Deserted
Were Later Recaptured.

Houston, Tex, April 17.-Approxi-
mateIy one hundred men belonging to
various organizations in the headquar-
tiers trains and military police COM
panies escaped from Camp Logan yes
terday in rebellion against an order
transferring them to other organiza-
tions in the division. ALI except two
of them have been captured and prob
ably will face charges of conspiring
to mutiny, it was announced today.
The majority of the men were from
old 9TH Regiment of Chicago.
Colonel Clinnin, head of the ammu-
milton train and military police, ex-
pressed the opinion that the escape
undoubtedly was the result of care
fully planned mutinous program.
Thirty-two of the men were from
the old 9TH Regiment of Chicago, for
merly commanded by Capt. Sigmund
Newfields, who recently left the ser
vice. Others were in equal proper
ton from other companies including
the two military police. A total OF
1872 men were included in the order
for the transfer. As fast as the men
were recaptured they were sent to the
organizations to which they were
transferred.

SECRETARY BAKER
At HIS DESK AGAIN
Head of American War Depart
ment Returns SteeIed for
the Work Ahead.
TO SPEED UP WAR MOVEMENT
VIII Make Detailed Report of obser-
Vations at Front to President
Wilson at Once.

Washington, April 17.-SteeIed to
the work ahead of him by personal
knowledge of conditions at the battle
fronts in Europe, Secretary Baker re-
turned to his desk at the War De-
partment tonight from his trip abroad
prepared to concentrate every energy
on expediting the movement of Amer
lean fighting men to France.
The war secretary, it is understood,
IS not inclined to underestimate the
peril that further German successes in
the present terrific onslaught against
the Allied lines might involve. There
is no doubt, however, that he believes
adequate measures to checkmate the
German effort will come out of the
pooling of all Allied and American re-
sources under command of General
Foch, the impressive French COM
mander-in-chief
Mr.. Baker had little to say for pub
LEGATION. On his arrival early today
at an Atlantic port he authorized this
statement:
81 return with a sense OF pride and
confidence at the achievements Of the
United States and Allied troops
abroad that would justify many trips
across the water"
Whatever direct information the
war secretary may have as to the
plans of General Foch will be for the
ear of President Wilson alone.
There have been many reports that
Mr. Baker went to Europe for the
purpose of urging unification of all
Allied armies under single comman-
der. He had no comment to make on
this point Officials familiar with the
circumstances of his conferences with
the British and French authorities
and with Generals Bliss and Pershing,
however, regard it as a most fortunate
thing that he was on the scene when
the German blow was struck. His
presence served to expedite greatly
the decision to pool all Allied re-
sources in men and munitions in order
to meet the new peril.

COLLIER A GERMAN PRIZE?
Washington Officials Have a Theory
That Steamer CycIops Has Been
Captured by the Huns.

Washington, April 16.-Orders for
greater efforts to find the missing
naval collier Cyclops, overdue from
South American waters for more than
a month, went out today to American
ships. In addition allied naval craft
on patrol duty in the South are aiding
in the search.
So far not one word has come to
clear up the mystery of the Golfers
disappearance. Secretary Daniels said
today, however, that he still chung to
the hope that the vessel would report
as many other navy ships have done
after they had been given up for lost.
A theory that she had been captured
by a group Of German agents aboard
appeared to be the only explanation
that would account for the silence Of
her radio equipment.

BIG BATTLE STILL
RACES NEAR YPRES
British Forces Retake MetereD
and Wytac haete, But Later
ReIinquished Them.
HAIG SPOILS GERMAN SCHEME
Withdrew at Some Points to Prevent
Flank Attack-Fiqht Is Crow
ing More Intense.

Washington, April 18.-Out of the
chaos Of the tremendous battle along
the Lys river, south and southwest OF
Ypres, the thunder of which may be
heard forty or fifty miles away, there
have come in the last day reports
which are more encouraging to the
Allied powers. The British not only
have held all the ground which they
were defending on Tuesday but have
struck back so powerfully that Met
eren and part of Wytschaete were re-
taken and held for a time. Only af-
ter heavy attacks did the British re-
tire again from the villages.
Berlin News Disturbing.
The most disturbing news has been
g report from Berlin that Poelcape1le
and Langemarck, north of Ypres, have
been taken by the Germans and the
admission from London that the Brit
ish have retired from certain of their
lines in the Ypres salient. The re-
tirement here was expected, for the
advance Of the Germans at Neuve
Eglise and Bailleul left the positions
in front of Ypres open to a flank at
tack. 1t is officially stated that the
retirement was orderly and it is prob
able that it will have more of a senti-
mental than a strategic effect. Just
how far the British lines have been
withdrawn is not known. 1t may be,
however, that the German claim of
taking PoelcapeIle and Langemarck
was the result of the British retire
ment.
Battle Is More Intense.
The battle, now in its ninth day.
has deepened in intensity at many
points along the curved front from
Messines Ridge to Meteren. There
have been reports that the Germans
have occupied the village of ST. Eloi,
which lies less than three miles south
of Ypres, but these have not been con-
firmed. 1t also was said that they
have taken positions on the south
slope of Mt KENNEL, which is about
two and a half miles north of Wul-
verghem. This, also, has not been
confirmed.
