Mooney Asks Governor for
Pardon From Death Sentence

San Francisco, April 1.-Thomas
]. Mooney today applied to Governor
Stephens for a pardon for the SEN
tence of death imposed upon him on
a murder charge, which grew out of
a bomb explosion which killed ten
persons here in 1916.
This action followed the return by
the state supreme court of a remit
titur on a decision in which the court
upheld the decision of the lower
court which sentenced Mooney to
hang, and denied him a new trial.
The original date for MONEYS ex-
ecution expired while his appeal to
the supreme court was pending.
The case will be in the hands of
Governor Stephens after the second
date of execution is set.
The pardon was requested on the
ground that irregular acts had fig
ured in the proceedings which led to
MONEYS conviction and the applica-
tion quoted statement to that effect
by Superior Judge Franklin A. Grif-
fin, who presided.
President Wilson telegraphed
Governor Stephens last week asking
executive clemency for Mooney.

300, 600 GERMANS
KILLED IN GREAT
PICARDY BATTLE

Washington, April IA French
official estimate OF the German losses
in the great battle on the western
front puts their total casualties at be-
tween 275,000 and 100000
The Germans are sending most Of
their wounded to Belgium, it is de-
clared, to conceal from the German
people their heavy sacrifice.
The dispatch follows:
after an II days offensive, dur
ing which the Germans have reck-
lessly pushed forward their attack
ing waves, one may gather a fairly
accurate estimate of their losses.
''ln the first place, it has been pos
sible to identify nearly 100 Of their
divisions since the beginning of the
offensive, more than ten of which
were twice engaged. Some divisions
had to be relieved at the end of the
first day, having lost more than half
of the men; such was the case of the
45th and 8Sth. The latter has been
nearly entirely wiped out. Among
those that have>sutfered the moshare
the 5th, 18th, 18th and 10Th divisions,
as we'll as the Second (Prussian
guard), the 10th, the 21st and 26th
divisions of reserves.
in the second place, an enormous
number of corpses were found on the
battle-ground, and the prisoners on
being questioned, acknowledged the
extent of the losses of their respective
units.
"To conceal from the German peo-
pie the heavy sacrifices that their Of
fensive methods required. the Ger
mans are sending most of their
wounded to Belgium. IT. a

SMALL BRITISH
FORCE HOLDS OFF
GERMAN HORDES
Detachment of Americans and
Britons, 1900 Strong, With
stands Tremendous On
sIaughts BraveIy.

British Army Headquarters in
France, April lit is now possible
to tell Of spectacular feature of a
brilliant British defense last week be-
low the Somme. q
1t is the story of little army com
posed largely of assortments of
troops, who were hastily assembled
in a great Crisis and who success
fully held vita, stretch of the front
against furious German onslaughts
until reinforcements could arrive.
In this gallant force were included
American railway engineers. who, as
in the battle of Cambrai last Novem-
ber, threw aside their tools and took
up arms in defense of the allied
colors.
Last Tuesday afternoon at criti-
cal moment it was absolutely neces-
sary that more troops should be
thrown into the British line to hold
the onrush of Germans.
Help Fails to Come.
Reinforcements were on the way,
but could not arrive in time. There
was no time to lose, and certain
general Immediately organized a
force collected from the various units
nearby, in which were the Americans.
Fifteen hundred followed the lead
of their dashing brigadier out into
the swirling battle line, where they
were strung over front of 1900
yards, against which hordes of Ger
mans we're flung. 1t seems almost in
conceivable that these defenders,
brave unto death though they were,
could have been, able to hold that
long sector. but they held.
Enemy Forces Descend.
The enemy advanced in force and
hurled themselves time and again
against the British line in this region,
but they found no weak spot. This
composite force stood as CALAMITY
and as we'll as their comrades to the
right and to the left. They clung on
for many hours until the regular
