Third Week of Battle
Finds Front Rather Quiet

NEW YORK, April 4.-(From Euro
pean Cables of the Day to the Asso-
ciated Press )-Germany' peace drive"
through Picardy enters upon it's third
week with both forces preparing for the
resumption of heavy lighting. The
weather has interfered somewhat but
the Germans have not renewed their
heavy attacks and the fighting front
has remained virtually unchanged since
Monday.
North of the Somme the British have
improved their positions in small at
tacks while on the important sector
south of the river there has been no
infantry action. In the region north
Of Montdidier, which has been the scene
of much heavy fighting. the artillery
bombardment has been violent. but the
enemy has made no attempt to attack.
While there is little doubt that the
Germans must attack again and will
have to sustain still greater losses in
further efforts against the allied line
much interest centers in the plans Of
General Foch. The attacks by the Brit
ish between Albert and Arras and by
the French between Montdidier and
Noyon apparently were for the purpose
of improving local positions. Silence
is being maintained by both sides as
to the next act in the titanic military,
contest.
German newspapers declare that the
German drive was halted by bad wealth
err and not by the Franco-British de-
Tense. Admission is made that the
Germans are having great difficulty
in moving up guns and supplies over
the muddy area of the Somme and that
transport is in poor shape because of
the necessity for constructing new
roads.
Auo;aps +ba rriy,,a w obiecfixya - CAT
man efforts in the past two weeks, is
far from danger for the moment. A
military proclamation posted there in
forms the population that threatening
peril has been removed and exhorts
them to maintain confidence.
American troops in the region of Toul
and in an unnamed place have been sub
iected to a heavy bombardment from
enemy guns. Gas shells were used
mainly in the fire against the Amer
cans in the unnamed place. High ex-
plosive shells and projectors were used
in the artillery attack northwest OF
Toul, but no great damage was done.
Reconnaissance and patrol activities
are increasing on the Italian front es-
pecially from west of Lake Garda to the
Piave river. The Italians have cap
thred several enemy Outposts and made
a number of prisoners.
A German force has been landed at
Hangow on the southern coast of Fin
lard, to aid in the campaign against the
Finnish rebels.
Finnish government forces are bonn
harding Tammorfors, north of Helsing-
fOrs, while new Russian achievements
are reported to have arrived to help the
rebels. who control most of southern
Finland.

early this morning of James King

sorship bureau-committee on public in
formation-sent sharp thrill through
the city today.
First belief however, that a SPY,
seeking valuable information kept in he
building, may have been responsible,
gave way shortly before noon to con-
viction that William Clements, negro
janitor of the committee, with whom
King had quarreled. may have been re-
sponsible. The man is being sought af.-

Earl johnson, an assistant to Glenn

he reported late for work. He is under
stood to nave made a damaging state
ment against Clements.
Clements left his home for work at
the usual hour this morning and up TO
II o'clock had not reported at the COM
mittee or returned home.

Occurring as it did in the heart Of
Washington's war government-the
censorship bureau being thanked by the
state, war and navy buildings, White
House mansion and executive Offices
the murder was given a dramatic back

the basement of the committee room
shortly before o'clock when the re-
volver spoke on the floor above ner.
Dashing upstairs. she saw King drop
TO the floor dead. She claimed to have
seen no one else.
Careful search Of the offices revealed
that neither the personal files OF Chair
man George Creel or any other of the
valuable archives were disturbed This
strengthened the belief Of officials that
personal enmity-not spies-was re-
sponsibe for the killing.

The Twenty-seventh division was
sent south, probably to join the Aus

soon after the capture of Wytschaete

This capture was made by the 106th

boys, on September 4th. 1t was in

ed one of the sternest struggles of the
war, when the British Strengthened
out their line from Ypres to Voorme-
zeele.
"Single-handed, without any artil-
lery backing at all, the Brooklyn or
ganization advanced a full four miles
against one of the most terrific cur
tains of fire their British Brethren
had seen in four years of war. Six
times one battalion of the regiment
went over the top, received that it
would not give up until it had won
it's objectye. Five times it was beat

ranks were decimated to the point
where it seemed almost there were
not enough left to attack, the bat
