MILLION :.
LIVES TO
GO OUT!
(United Press Leased Wire.)

b.. (United Press Leased wire.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 16.
Germany is prepared to waste
more than 100000 lives in the
west,front offensive, as announced
in advance by Hindenburg, &C
cording to information here to-
day.
The socialist and militarist
leaders are understood to have
conferred before the drive began.
! reaching an understanding that
the radicals would not interpose
Any OBJECTIONS so long as the
Casualties did not exceed the l.
100000 mark.
But beyond that, the socialists
were not prepared to stand for
the reckless use of cannon fod-
der" it was said.
Pledged to Victory.
The military leaders were un-
derstoOd to have pledged that
they would achieve their purposes
without mourning such casualties,
tho lately they have been inclined
to warn Germany that all gains of
terrain have been at a frightful
cost.
The nation was informed that
the offensive would succeed and
that the bloody aims of the plum
derbund would be realized.
Germany, as result, has
.shunted aside the reichstag reso-
tuition of mo annexations, no in
IDENTITIES" quite openly now.
Zurich dispatches today said
the pan-German organ, the Tag
lische Rundschau, revealed the
new stand.
Breaks With Erzberger.
Count Hertling, the paper said,
threatened the socialists that he
would resign If that platform
were followed.
Thereupon the majority factions
accepted the imperial govern
ment's plan, which includes:
. Annexation of French territory.
Incorporation of the Belgian
coast of Flanders into Germany.
Payment of a large war indem-
nifty by the western powers to
Germany.
Incidentally 1t appears that
Germany is hoping to collect in
demnity from America and her
leaders are doing all in their
power to make the boche believe
Americas part in the war will be
meager.
Hertling is reported to have
broken with Erzberger. the CEN
trist leader.

British fighters admit the allies

wars great crisis is over.
Still Formidable.
About 100 enemy divisions
q 100000 mem have already
been identified in the Somme
and Lys fighting. This does not
mean they are unable to fight
further, as many have but few
losses.
With their unused divi.
sions, the German masses
are still colossal. Fresh
troops continue to arrive
from Russia and Rumania.
Hindenburg has we'll over 200
divisions (2,400,000 men) on the
west front. Reliable authorities
in Switzerland told me the Ger
man forces would reach 220 divi-
sions, before a definite decline.

great difficulty is in bringing up
guns and material. The British
artillery has killed many horses
and the badly craterpd roads are
frequently impossible for motor
trucks.
Railroads to Rebuild.
Bridges also must be recon-
structed and narrow gauge rail-
roads prolonged. Desultory fight
ing continues on thesnorthern and
southern battle fronts.

Won der Marwitz probably hopes
to establish headquarters there
and does not wish to destroy it

The German artillery Is gener-

declare, to the difficulties in sup
plying ammunition.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, April 16.-Details
of Sunday mornings battle on the
left bank of the Meuse prove that
the new American army is more
than the master of the Germans.
The boches used their best
storm troops to attack us. Nu-
merous naturalized Italians,
Poles, Irish, English and Scandi-
navians were in the American
force which,. with a knockout
blow, repulsed the Germans.
The enemy came on in a two
wave formation after a barrage.
Storm troops led the attack. Aft
,er a three-hour fight the 400
Germans were hurled back. They
lost Ga dead, II prisoners and %
mitrailleuses.

Italian born, but good Ameri-

Germans in his TRENCH" said an
officer. "He killed one and the
rest fled. Pumping bullets after
them, the private chased them in
No Mans Land and captured two.
Returning with them to the Amer
lean trenches, he asked a SER
geant for a match. The latter
told him to capture another Ger
man and he would get 1t.
THE private thought he had
already earned 1t, but he went out
into No Mans Land again and
soon returned with six-footer-

The Germans are equipped with
new trench daggers, six inches
long and with double edges. The
enemy troops are husky and aver

enough and did it. Now many of them

came for the jobs and the $1,000 and

NEW YORK, November ga con-

investors of millions of dollars

pan Star Oil Corporation is alleged
by the government in a complaint on
which Louis Roumangnac, head of
the company; John ]. Bryant. di-
rector, and Henry kalb. a broker,
were arraigned before a United States
commissioner today after their arrest
here
Federal attorneys asserted that 20,-
100000 shares of Tuxpan stock al
ready had been disposed of at from
80 cents to s1.95 a share. This would
total between $4,000, 900 and $4,000
600.
The sales were made. according to
the governments complaint. on the
representations that the corporation
owned oil gushings in Mexico. The
oil wells were described and pic
tured on the company's circulars used
in exploiting the sale of the stock

The Tuxpan corporation was or

Everybody knew the work was tenn

no matter what the exact actuating mo-

for this concession have come from sew
