Two SMASHES'
Hindenburg, on 37th Day of Offensive Drives Stimuli
taneously in Picardy and Flanders; French and
British Forces Inflict Reverses on Him in Both
Places; Fighting Continues Today on Wide Front;
Amiens One Objective

LONDON, April % Hindenbug is striking
simultaneously in Picardy and Flanders.
While the battle still swirled around Nillers-Brc-
tonneaux today in the drive against Amiens, the Ger
mans were thrlsting also against the northern line
of the Flanders battle front
The enemy suffered temporary reverse on both
fronts, Hag reported. In the neghborhood of Vers-
Bretonneaux the British regained some ground by
counter attacks.
Northeast of Bailleu, in Flanders, the French re-
pulsed heavy attack yesterday evening, but the
sault was renewed early this morning and was being
pressed on wide front, including sector held by
the British to the east of the French positions.
Thus this the 37th day Of the Hun offensive, sees
Hindenbrrg for the first time striking simultaneous
ly in Flanders and Pcardy.

RUN STORE

Organized labor in Tacoma Will
develop a cooperative store and
public market where producers
can sell direct to the consumers,
il plans made at Wednesday
nights session of the Central La
Dor council are carried out.
A committee from the plumbers
and steamfitters' union, composed
Of G. w. Bronson, VIM. Carothers
and Dick Lewis, made the sug-
gestion to the labor body, and
asked that an institution be inaug-
urated in Tacoma similar to the
Producers and Consumers Equity
league, now in operation In Mon
tana.
Labor delegates accepted the
suggestion enthusiastically, and a
committee of five prominent labor
leaders was named to work out
plans for the cooperative scheme.
The committee consists Of Harley
Johnston, Tom Burns, Arne Jones,
C. r. Barrett, president of the
council, and r. G. Cameron.
The movement is a direct blow
at the high cost of living. BY max
ing purchases of food a1d mer-
chandise in wholesale lots, and by
bringing the farmers and ranchers
in direct touch with the workers,
1t is believed that a big reduction
in prices can be effected.
In Montana cities the co-opera-
tive plan has been fully developed
by organized labor, and has re.
suited in big reduction in the
cost of living, the delegates re.
ported.
The labor councils committee
was given full power to go ahead
with the cooperative plan and to
work out a method by which q
labor store and market could be
inaugurated here this summer.

The steamer was coming from

had been undergoing repairs since
her arrival from a European port

berth alongside Pier 81, in the
North river, she began to sink.
She settled slowly into the Ooze

A heavy guard of soldiers and
policemen was instantly thrown
about her. The only information
given out was a police statement
that it was believed her seacocks
had been opened. Whether this
was thru carelessness at the dry
dock or was done while she was
en- route to her berth is not
known.
The st. Paul is one of the
largest American liners. She is
a steel twin screw steamer of
1920 tons, 535.5 feet long and
has a BEAM of 63 feet and depth
of 26.S feet.
She is owned by the Interna-

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Apr.
2J.-Gerlnany Is holding
the mailed fist over Holland
to enforce sanction of supply
shipments thru that country
into Belgium.
In her desperate efforts to
drive to q decision on the
west front, TtutOn diplomacy
is once more showing its

The situation appeared fraught

withstand long any serious at

1t is held certain here that
Holland will not agree to Germans
demands unless she is willing to
sacrifice her neutrality.
In Bed Dilemma.
Holland knows that II she
throws her lot in with the Ger
mans the allies are in position to
take virtually all her shipping and
her colonies.
Hence, the little neutral's posi-
ton becomes gravely dangerous.
IL the British have succeeded in
bottling up the German U-boat
outlet at Ostend and Zeebrugge,
Germany is forced to take drastic
action in Holland or see her SUBJ
marine campaign utterly fail.
German designs on The Neither
lands are of long standing.
Military experts here believe
that unless allied forces are sent
to Hollands aid, 1t would require
scarcely more than a, half million
Germans to overrun the little

BY Edgar G. Wheeler
Times Reporter Who Has Been
Working in Todd Shipyard in
Order to Tell TacOmans
About Great Plant.

You learn first of all when you
go into the Todd yard that a ship
is made up of hundreds (and, |
guess, thousands) of steel boards
of as many sizes and shapes, aver
aging about an inch in thickness.
Each steel plate must be of a
certain specified design, must have
just as many holes located in GER
tain specified places, and must be
made to fit exactly, with other
similar steel boards, into a defin-
lite spot designed rfor it.
So exactly must it fit that its
holes must meet and overlap the
corresponding holes in the plate
next to it.
Thee for the bolts and the riv.
ets-those steel nails that go fly
ing, white-hot, thru the air to
be pounded down with machine
gun blows of the hammer thru the
holes, fastening the steel boards
together.
Mailing Boards Together.
After all, you discover, ship
is not all holes. 1t is plates and
holes and rivets.
Constructing one of these ships
IS simply mailing boards of steel
together, and mailing them SC
strongly that not an infinitesima
fraction OF an inch of crack will
remain between them where they
overlap.
The combined strength of the
rivets, in number and texture
must equal the strength of the
heavy steel plates they hold to-
gether. One loose rivet means q
weakened vessel for Uncle Sam.
