MOtOrbOat Had Been Fitted Out at West Mexican Port-Mys- teriOus Vessel is Being Taken to Pacific Port.

Washington, March 22.-A 6O-foot American motor boat, the Aggassiz, which sailed from a Mexican port with Germans, German flags, rifles and pistols on board, has been seized at sea by an American warship and taken to a Pacific port for investiga- tion to determine whether she was starting on commerce raiding cruise
 After press dispatches had told of the seizure of suspicious craft in the Pacific by an American cruiser, the Navy Department tonight issued this statement:
 "The Navy Department announced tonight that small American vessel, the Aggassiz, which sailed from West Mexican port, where she had been fitted out under circumstances which led the naval authorities to be- lieve that she might be used as an enemy raider, has been seized at sea and taken to Pacific port for inves- tigation. There were found aboard several Germans, German flags, rifles and pistols When seized she had no ships papers, and a number of ar ticles were seen to be thrown over board.
 "The Aggassiz is a gas propelled boat about SO feet long, and so far as present information indicates carried no mounted guns"

 ;s Held by German Prisoners.

u...ow Tuesday, March 19.-Not- outstanding that peace with Ger n.ny 1 has been ratified by the con .rs.s of workmen's and soldiers dele s,tes. the German advance in Russia ,tT continues, the evacuation or pstrograd having served only to ,s,nge the German objective to Mos l COW.
 a.cording to reports printed in the .,usnarers this morning, the Ger u.rs are moving toward Moscow t,0m three directions, southwest, west ,rd northwest. From the southwest |thev recently have advanced 20 miles |tum Konotop, province of Tcherni- ,w, in the general direction of Bry- ,rsk which is 235 miles from Moscow l Nv rail. From the west the Germans .re approaching smolensk, which is sbout 25O miles from Moscow. In the northwest they have captured the satiOn of Rosenovskaya, in the gov snment of Vitebsk.
 The order to evacuate the hospitals
 md other institutions in Gjhatsk, 100 niles from Moscow, indicates that a
 mther German advance is considered
 imminent by the government.

Ukraine government in an effort to save Kharkov and prevent a further advance by the Austrians, supporting the Ukraine bourgeoise rada.
 M. Tchitcherin of the Bolsheviki foreign office in statement issued to- day says the soviet government is negotiating informally with Ukrania for peace and that he hopes formal negotiations will open shortly.
 Rumors that Austrian and German prisoners of war have occupied the trans-Siberian railway are character ized as an absolute falsehood in dispatch received by Leon Trotsky the Bolsheviki foreign minister, in response to inquiries made of the representatives of the Bolsheviki commissaries at Irkutsk.

 London, March 23.-The Ger mans broke through the British lines at St. Quentin, and are forcing them back on other de- lenses.

British Headquarters in France, March 22, 2 D. m.-The Germans to- day continued their assault against the positions of the Cambrai sector. notably in the region of Croiselles and Hargicourt. At least 40 divis- ions have been identified on the battle front. No such concentration of ar tillery has been seen since the war began.
 On the southern battlefield a bitter struggle was waged today. The enemy had 1000 guns in one small sector-one for every 12 yards. Se- were fighting was proceeding this morning in St. Ledger, southwest of Croiselles.
 The hardest fighting yesterday in the northern battle was between the Canal du Nord and Croiselles. Doig- nies was retaken yesterday evening in brilliant counter-attack. A bright sun at midday today rendered obser- vation possible.
 The fighting is still continuing, but the first stage of the offensive has passed. The enemy has failed badly in the execution of his programme, which is attested by captured docu- ments showing what he planned to do in the early hours of his offensive.
 The exact British line cannot be made public at present. The only reason is that it might furnish the enemy with valuable information.
 Last night was fairly quiet along the front. This morning the Ger mans were bombing in the region of Croiselles.
 The weather is cold and bleak. A heavy mist makes air reconnaissances impossible. This is of advantage to the British, as the enemy is deprived of greatly needed aerial observation.
 The Germans in many sections yes terday attacked in three waves of in- fantry, followed up by shock troops. As result they suffered very heavy casualties.
 The heavily massed German artil- lery has been badly hammered by the British guns.
 Vigorous eounter-attacks late yes terday restored some of the positions which the British had abandoned tenn porarily.
 The war office statement follows:
 ''The fighting continued until late hour last night on the whole front be- tween the River Disc and the River Sensee. Our troops continue to hold the enemy in their battle positions.
 During the enemy's attacks yester day his massed infantry offered re- targets to our rifles, ma chine guns and artillery, of which full was taken by our troops. All the reports testify to the exceed ingly heavy losses suffered by the enemy.
 "No serious attack has yet devel- open this morning, but heavy fight ing is still to be expected"

Little Rock, March 23.-Realizing that within a short time all the coal production of the country will be re- quired for government use, especially in the movement of ships overseas, it is officially announced that the gov ernment is preparing to store six months supply of coal at Camp Pike. It is probable that the same course will be pursued at other camps. This is the policy that the fuel administra- tion has insisted upon for all con- sumers of coal, so that when the time comes, there will be enough coal re- leased for national purposes.

Bucks presence. AS he climbed the
bluff and mentally reliyed the last
hour he wondered how he had kept
from shooting Buck as soon as he saw
him. Still, that would have defeated
his main purpose, which was to make
Buck suffer- He was afraid he could
not make Buck suffer as Buck had
made him suffer, because there were
obstacles in the path Of perfect retri-
button.
Ward was not cruel by nature-at
least he was not more cruel than the
rest of us-but as he went after Rat
tier and Bucks horse it pleased him to
know that Buck Olney was tied hand
and foot in his cabin and that he was
sick with dread of what the future
held for him.
Ward was gone an hour. He did not
hurry; there was no need. Buck could
not get away, and a little suspense
would do him good
Bucks face was pasty when Ward
opened the door. His eyes were a bit
CLASSY. And from the congested ap-
pearance of his hands Ward judged
that he had tested to the full his help
lessness in his bonds. Ward looked at
him a minute and got out the makings
of a smoke. His mood had changed
in his absence. He no longer wanted

years. You haven't, unless it's for the
worse. You've got to the end OF the
trail, old timer. When you went lay
ing for me you fixed yourself a-plenty.
Do you want to know what I'm going
to do to you?"
Ward, you wouldn't dare shoot me.
With the record you've got you
wouldn't stand"
''Who gave it to me, huh? oh, 1
heap sabe; you've left word with your
pardners that you were coming up here
to arrest me single handed. They will
give the alarm if you don't show up,
and I'll go on the dodge and get caught
and" Ward threw away his ciga-
rette and took a step toward his cap
tive, a step so ominous that Buck
squirmed in his bonds.
"Well, you can rest easy on one point
I'm not going to shoot you" Ward
stood still and watched the light Of
hope fare in the eyes Of his enemy.
I'm going to wash the dishes and take
shave, and then I'm going to take
you out somewhere and hang you"
my God, Ward You-you-"
81 told you seven years ago,f went on
Ward steadily, that I'd see you hung
before 1 was through with you. Re
member? By rights you ought to hang
by the heels over a slow fire. You're
about as low a specimen OF humanity
as | ever saw or heard of. You know
what you did for me, Buck. And you
know what I told you would happen
Well, it's going to come on according
to the program.
81 did think OF running you in and
giving you a taste OF hell yourself.
But, as usual, you've gone and tangled
I'D a couple of fellows that never did
me any particular harm and / don't
want to hand them anything If l can
help it So I'll just string you up
after awhile, when get around TO it
and leave a note saying who you are
and that you're the head push in this
rustling business and that you helped
spend the money that Hardup bank
lost awhile back and that you're one Of
the gazabOS-"
"You can't prove it, You"
81 don't have to prove it. The au-
thorities will do all that when they get
the tip III give them. And you, being
hung up on a limb somewhere, cant
very well give your partners the dou-
bic cross. So they'll have fighting
chance to make their getaway.
Now, I'M through talking to you
What say goes. You can talk II you
want to, Buck. but I'm going to carve
a steak out Of you every time you open
your mouth" He pulled Bucks own
knife out of its sheath and laid it con-
venient TO his hand, and he looked as
if he would do any cruel thing he
threatened.

he showed symptoms OF wanting to
talk.
IF 1 turn you loose, Buck, what will

tone.

''Get me hanged. 1 know; you sure

at his cigarette, and the lips that held
it trembled little. Otherwise he SEEM

'Say, Ward, them lawyers lied to

"Oh, cut II out, BUCK I've seen you

THAT'S right, Ward, and 1 can prove
