Afternoon Reports.

DATELESS, (To Associated PressJ Afternoon advices say the French have held the lines below Amiens, where the Germans were defeated with great losses in what probably has constituted their most desperate effort yet made to break into the Allied lines, separate the British from the French, and cut the lines of communication from Amiens to the south.
 The British maintained their de- fense east of Amiens and the battle ragged all day yesterday and last night.
 Today the Germans suddenly switched their attack to North of Somme and engaged the British along a 17-mile front. They were unable to advance except at one point, near the Somme river. As n whole it is considered that the En- tente line has been maintained n. its entirety.

SULZER GETS PROMISE
Delegate Appears Before Shipping Board in h. tereSt of AIaskaS;
 Gets Results.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Com- plying with an urgent request made to it today by Delegate Charles A, Sulzer, the United States Shipping board announced that it would searchingly investigate the matter of fresh fish shipments from Alaska and the question of the advisability of permitting Canadian vessels to carry freight between Alaskan ports as we'll as the matter of freight rates when it gives its hear ings in Alaska. It was announced by the Shipping Board that the hearings will begin in Juneau about May 10th, and at Seward a little later.
 The .postponement of the Ship ping Board hearings in Alaska from April 20 to May 15, it was stated by members of the board today, is due to the stress of war matters.
 If the Shipping Board, after the hearings, shall decide that there was not justification for the raise in freight rates, the steamship con- panies will be required to rebate the increased charges collected un- der the recent tentative advance in the rates.
 The Shipping Board has hesitat- ed regarding fixing the dates for the Alaska hearings on account of matters of vital importance coming before the Board here in connection with the war

SECOND STAGE OF GREAT
 " sf GERMAN OFFENSIVE IS F LAUNCHED IN THE WEST

DATELESS, (To Associate Press) Striking at positions south of Somme nearest to Amiens, the Ger man offensive was renewed with a heavy force in desperate fighting with the British and French forces.
 The Germans were able to mako only slight gains at isolated points, being repulsed with great losses everywhere. How well the valient British and French forces with stood the enemy is shown by the fact that the Germans used over 100000 men on a nine-mile front.
 North of Montdidier and be- tween the Avre and Luce valley rivers, the Germans made ten as- saults. The French moved down the Germans with heavy artillery.
 The Americans took over another sector on the front and now hold positions on the Muese Heights south of Verdun.
