 WAR BROUGHT INTO
 PACIFIC COAST PORT

A PACIFIC PORT, March 27.- Nine prisoners of war, two of them women, arrived here today aboard a United States warship which had in tow the auxiliary schooner Alexander Agassiz outfitted by Germans as a raider of the seas.
 The Agassiz was captured week ago off Mexico. Government officials said they had information to the eff feet that seven Germans embarked on the would-be raider at Mazatlan, Mexico, under orders from the Ger man consul to seize any ship they could and then to proceed to the south seas for raiding activities against commerce of the allies.
 Representatives of the government also said that they had information indicating that similar raiding parties were being organized in west coast Mexican ports, each designed to put to sea in smaller craft with the hope of seizing a larger vessel to be developed into a privatear

AMSTERDAM, March 27-Enor- mously long ambulance trains are passing through Liege ana Namur, Belgium, on their way to Aix-la- Chapelle and other parts of Germany with wounded men from the French battle front, according to the Telegraaf frontier correspondent
 Many of the wounded have been de- trained at Namur, says the corre- spondent, who adds that the hospitals in northern France have not sufficient accommodations for the great stream of sufferers.
 The Telegraaf's Zevenaar corre- spondent says the first transports with wounded have arrived at frontier towns. Commenting on this fact the Telegraaf says that while the German communications speak of the slight German losses it is significant that even in the most out of the way places in Germany wounded are arriving.

 Mrs. Rena V. Wright, an Arizona girl. also known as Mrs. Harry Clark, is the fair prisoner charged with be- ing the instructor. She is but IS wears old, but admits two matrimonial voyages, according to Detective Jones who made the arrest.
 A quantity of correspondence now in the hands of the police will be turned over to the postoffice authorities, the officers say, as it is believed to con- stitute a violation of the laws govern ing the use of the mails. In the mean time, Chief Butler ordered Mrs. Wright held in the city jail without bail. s''Vamping by Mail" as the police call the correspondence, was brought tp the attention of Chief of Police Butler by Mrs. A. J. Montgomery rof 217 West Washington street, Phoenix, grandmother and guardian of Helen Taylor, 16 years old, also of Phoenix, said to have been a recipient of 'in- struction"
 She submitted a letter, said to have been written by Mrs. Wright, in which, the police say. the younger girl was urged to join Mrs. Wright in Los Angeles, and in which the younger girl was presented with pen pictures of life in a great city. Mrs. Wright admitted she wrote the letters attributed to her.

 Attention to Biunders
 "No republican," he asserted, "has sought to secure party advantage by calling attention of the country to ad- mitted blunders of the administration. No word of warning of the extrava- gant and wicked waste of the peoples money or weaknesses in efficiency of the administration have been intimated but some democrat would immediately rise and claim that 1t would only bring joy to the kaiser"
 The Utah senator contrasting re- publican and democratic partisanship, declared all democrats directed their efforts to party advance. President Wilson, he said. has frankly announced himself the leader of his party.
 "No man while occupying the White House." the Utah senator proceeded, has ever uttered strictures against his political opponents as severe as Presi- dent Wilson in his Indianapolis speech.
 By speeches and actions in national and local campaigns and by refusal to accept proffered services of "a most capable man" of the opposition party, he said, the president had proven his partisanship.
 President Wilson's recent letter to MT. Davies stating the McLemore re- solution was the "acid test of pa- triotism and his letter to New Jersey democrats were cited by Senator Shoot as proof of the presidents partisan purposes.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Prep- arations for a Teutonic offensive on the Italian front continue, the Italian embassy was advised today by cable from Rome. New divisions are arriv- ing daily on this front from the Ru- manian front and the Austrians have brought up numerous new pieces Of heavy artillery.
 "The situation at the Italian front is becoming every day more intense" the dispatch says. Tt appears that the Austro- Hungarian forces are counting upon the success of the German drive in France to discourage the Italians be- fore attempting a new offensive.
 Reserves From East
 New divisions are daily being brought to the Italian front from the Rumanian front. Artillery duels are growing in intensity all along the mountain section of the front in Val Lagarina, Giudicaria and Astico. The Austrians have numerous new pieces of heavy artillery.
 Great movements of Austro- Hun garian troops are reported by Italian avistors in Val Sugana. Everything points towards new effort on the part of the enemy forces to break through the mountainous zone of the Italian front towards the plains"

MARSHAL HAIG TELLS IF COUNTER ATTACKS
 MADE AGAINST ENEMY
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, March 27.-The British forces are not only offering strong re- sistance to heavy enemy attacks both north and south of the River Somme, but have carried out numerous counter attacks during the day, resulting in the regaining of ground and the driving back of the Germans at various points.
 The report from Field Marshal Haig tonight declares that in these oper- ations heavy casualties have been in- flicted on the enemy.
 The text of the statement reads:
 The battle was renewed this morn ing with great violence south and north of the Somme. Intense fighting has taken place during the day from south of Rosieres to north of Ablain- vile (Ablainzevelle).
 Attempted Drive Fails
 An unsuccessful attempt made by the enemy last night to drive in our line south of the Somme was followed this morning by a series of heavy at tacks in the neighborhood of Rosieres and to the south of that place. At Ro- sieres al the enemy's assaults have been beaten off by our troops, who in flicted heavy casualties on the enemy.
 Farther north our line was main- tained through the earlier part of the day in spite of great pressure from large hostile forces.
 Later in the day a fresh German at tack developed in this area, with the result tkst our line was taken back a short distance to the west. Later re- ports show that our counter attacks have again completely restored the sit uation.
 Make Determined Attacks During the day the enemy made 8 number of determined attacks against our positions between the Somme and the Ancre and north and south of Al. bert. Fierce fighting has taken place in this sector also.
 Part of our position to the south ot Albert, into which the enemy at one tune forced his way, was regained by us by counter attack and a further Fheavy attack delivered by the enem, at this point during the afternoon was completely repulsed.
 Attempts made by the enemy in tho cause of the day to debouch westward from the town of Albert have beer drlVen back, in each instance with the heaviest casualties"
 German Gain Footinu "This afternoon also the enemy at tackled in great strength in the neigh borhood of Bucquoy and Ablainville and gained a footing in the latter vil- iage. At all other points his infantry mas been beaten off with great loss.
 Our troops have again fought mag hlllcently and as shown in the above | account have today thrown back inc enemy all along the British front witt heaVy losses in spite of most bite, and determined attacks and his s,,, periority in numbers. Heavy fightine still continues in whole battle front ,,

Ey the Associated T'ress.
LONDON, October 10.-In varying
tones, according to their political
faiths, the London morning newspa-
pers universally praise President Will
sons reply to Germany's peace offer,
declaring it shows the complete unity
of the allies.
The conservative papers are suspl-
cious of the good faith of the German
chancellor and most of the newspapers
refer to the burning and destruction
the enemy is still working on allied
towns. But all admire the searching
character of the Presidents questions
to the chancellor.
Sees Victory Almost in Sight.
The reply is commented upon in
conjunction with the splendid news
from the front. The Daily Mail claims
that victory and unconditional sur
render is almost in sight. 1t declares
the Hohen2ollerns and the criminals
around them must abdicate or be sur
rendered to the allies.
The Daily News says the strength
OF the reply rests not on subtlety. but
on simplicity. Compliance, the news
paper says, means confession of de-
feat; resistance means ruin. Every
sane German knows there is no third
course, and a mere presentation of
alternatives promises to plunge Ger
many into internal conflict and per-
hapS into revolution.

Reasonable, Lansdowne Says.

The Marquis of Lansdowne, famous
for his peace letters. in a statement
on the German peace offer, said to-
day that he regarded it as the most
substantial advance yet made by the
central powers He considered the
stipulations which President Wilson
had made in reply as reasonable.
IN his opinion it would be out of
the question to interrupt the cam
paisn. which was proceeding success
fully on every front. and thereby give
the enemy breathing space and OPP
portuuity to consolidate his resources.

of the kind the President demanded.
