Dutch Lands
Along Scheldt
BY Selling Limburg Would
Have Route From Essen

By Caspaar Whitney
lTrihuna Cahla Servical

PARIS, April 26.-Holland's reply to
the German demand for the right of
way for sand and gravel shipments is
awaited with much concern in the West
ern war zone. Far-sighted students
familiar with German ambitions and
methods believe that the alleged rea-
son, although perhaps pressing, is but
a minor element in the action. They
believe that the impulse behind it is far
deeper, and concerns Antwerp and q
German controlled outlet to the sea.
The present Boche feeling is strong
enough and the need sufficiently urgent
for the foe to play cards long arranged
and concealed. Germany wants gravel
and sand merely as an incidental to the
real object, which is the Limburg part
of Holland and direct German rail-
road from Essen and Dusseldorf for
about two hundred kilometres to Ant
werp and uy the Scheldt River to the
North Sea.

Fresh Allied

Encouragement Seen in the
Latest Communique From
General Haig
By Arthur S. Draper
Tribune Gable Seryice1

LONDON. April 27.-Although the
Germans have pushed out onto the
Ypres plain a few hundred yards in
the last twenty-four hours the tone of
Field Marshal Haig's communique en-
courages the British and French. Their
armies in the field have stiffened their
defence considerably and fresh rein
f. -ements are now Offering stout re-
sistance at all points.
The British troops holding Pilkem
Ridge, east of Ypres, are in much the
same position as thev were preliminary
to the withdrawal from Passchendaele
Ridge, when the Germans took Neuye
Eglise and Bailleul. Haig says that the
British hold Voormezeele after pro-
longed fighting, and that a heavy at
tack on the ridge and wood a mile
southwest of Voormezeele and a half
mile east of Dickebusch Lake. in front
of the place of that name, was beaten
off.
Apparently the British have been en-
tlrely- pushed off Messines Ridge. So

cally a semi-circle, with radius Of
less than two miles. Roughly, the Ger
man line runs through Millebeke, east
OF Voormezeele; east of La Clytte and
east of Locre, to Meteren.
Foes Gains Costly
Fridays fighting was exceedingly
costly to the enemy. His attacks
lacked none of the fierceness of Thurs
day, but they found sitter opposition.
Between Locre and La Clytte, on
two-mile sector held by the French, the
German assaults followed one another
in rapid succession. After four on
slaughts the mountain troops which
had previously captured KENNEL Hill
took Locre, at the foot of Mount Rouge,
and clambered up the slopes of Scherp-
enberg, to the north, but the French
reformed quickly, and in a dashing
counter thrust they regained the vii
lage.
Having paved the way by a heavy
bombardment from KENNEL, the enemy
attempted to develop a success in the
direction of Dickebusch and in the
country behind Ypres. All day Friday
the battle waged without cessation, but
at night the British still held Voor-

A "Slaughter Pit"
Foes Losses Enormou,

bles Forces to
Strike Anew

The exhausted Germans paused in
their assaults south of Ypres yes
terday, after the tremendous fight
ing of the two preceding days.
Both sides made preparations for a
resumption Of the furious strug-
gle, which appears certain to begin
again soon.
On the southern front, also, COM
parative lull has set in. The Ger
mans made an attempt to advance
against the French on the railroad
line west of Themes, near tho
junction of the Luce and Avre
rivers, but were cut to pieces by
the Allied artillery before reach
ing the trenches.
All along the line there were heavy
artillery duels and big recon-
noitring raids. In local opera
ton the Germans took a British
post near Festubert, on the south
side Of the Lys salient A Ger
man attack at Merville, on the
west of this salient, was broken up.
New details emphasize the severity
Of the fighting around Mount
KENNEL Thursday and Friday,
when General Won Arnim hurled
ten divisions (135,OOO men)
against the Franco-B British. OBJ
servers describe the field of battle
as a slaughter pit.
The German losses were especially
severe, and fresh divisions must
be brought up for resumption of
the advance against the Flemish
hills.
KENNEL was taken on Thursday and
on Friday there was a most bitter
fluctuating struggle north of the
mountain, from Locre to east Of
the Ypres-Comines Canal, in
which the Allies succeeded in
stopping the foe.
Four German assaults were made on
Locre, near the west end of the
line. At the fourth the village
was carried, but Friday evening
the French counter attacked and
retook the place.
The Germans further east met dis
aster in attacking the wooded,
? ridge southwest of Voormezeele
and left several hundred prison
ers in British hands.
It now develops that the German
advance gave them the hill Of
Croix de Poperinghe, west Of
Dranoutre, and also ground west
Of Zillebeke, southeast of Ypres.

Il refuse you. therefore, my further
obedience. The duty Of every Bulgarian
packed and sold like chattels at the west

been doing.
1T shall be my duty, and it ought to
be every patriotic Bulgarian's duty, to

Now the chariot of subjugating Ger

Forfeits Right to Independence.

Bulgaria forfeits her right to inde-
pendence and the consideration of
countries which helped to liberate and
consolidate her when she raises the
weapons they helped put into her hands
to help crush Europe's hope and be-
comes like a contemplate january of
old.
Bulgaria showed herself monster
of ingratitude in repaying Russia's
liberation of her in the way she did,
but there was some excuse in 1915 be-
cause of the failure of the cars gov
eminent to listen to Bulgaria'S just
grievances in Macedonia and Dobrudja-
''Today's action is inexcusable. 1t
stains your splendid record as a SOL
der in its crime against the Bulgarian
people. In the name of the majority of
my countrymen who are muzzled today
and cannot express their protest and
their repugnance against this action,
protest against it. denounce it
Under these circumstances the crown
forfeits the right to the further tolera-
ton of the Bulgarian people or the rest
of Europe.
.'ln 1915. before Bulgaria's entrance into
this war, party leaders in council in the
palace warned the king he was playing
dangerous game The leader of the far
mers' party, Stamboliysky, told him he
was risking his head. For these words.
when printed, Stamboliysky was thrown
into prison and is still wasting there,
despite efforts of half the Bulgarian
sobranje to have an amnesty declared.

Correspondence OF the ASSociateu Treho
FRENCH FRONT. January s5.-A vet
eran Of 1914, who has passed four winters
at the battle front, il apt to make ironic
remarks about .feathered soldiers" when
he hears newly Joined comrades speak Of
the discomforts of cold-weather canton
ments. At the beginning Of the war the
fighting men were more than pleased to
discover compa ratively dry spot under
the trees Of a forest or in a drafty stable
or barn in which to pass their very rare
and short periods Of repose.
Now all has been changed and every
thing possible is done to provide some
sort of comfort and distraction FOR the
men when they come down from the
front line trenches. 1t must not be sup
posed that all the modern aids to human
comfort are furnished to the soldier, but
his lot is luxurious compared with that
during the early months OF the war.
In every village in the immediate rear
OF the fighting line out of range Of the
German guns town major has neen ap-
pointed, VINO makes it his business to
know of every nook and corner Where
men and horses can be housed. When q
battalion or a regiment marches in.
everything is in readiness for its recep-
tion Regimental workshops and ofnces,
stables and kitchens already are ar
ranged, and billeting accommodations
for offcers and men listed in such a
way that the soldiers have only to 90
in and occupy their quarters some
times they are lodged in the cottages, but
in general it has been found more conve-
nient to place them in farmhouses and
barns. as the hygienic facilities in the
country houses are far from modern.
Roofs Made Watertight.
Every available grange and barn has
been thoroughly gone over and made
by having it's roof covered
with tarred paper and its walls made
draftproof by thick crenelated card
board. Electric light has been IN
stalled, every building provided with 2
stove and washstands. Partitioned on
is a compartment where the men may
take hot and cold shower baths. In the
nearby kitchens every requisite IS
handy for cooking.
AS to the mems personal comfort,
each of them is given a trestle bed,
with straw mattress, known generally
as 'six-foot feathers" bolster, sleeping
sack and blankets.
In the vicinity of the villages sports
grounds have been inclosed and mark
ed for foot ball games, while numerous
plots of land are set apart for truck
gardening. and generally cultivated by
old reservists, who do not go into the
firing line. The produce is much ap-
preciated by the troops. who. when at
the front. have to content themselves
with canned vegetables.
