ASKS RETURN OF ALSATIANS.
Germany's Amazing Offer to France
Wins Rcbuke for Gasparrl.

Paris, April 3.-The Germans have
made overtrres through the Holy See
.or the return by France of inhabl-
tants of Alsace and Lorraine who have
escaped from those regions, offering
in exchange an equal number of c.
villains from the invaded districts OF
France. Cardinal Gasparri, papai
secretary of state, transmitted the
offer to Baron Denys Cochin, a prom
inent Catholic leader and recently a
member of the cabinet. lie refused
to act as intermediary in the negoti-
ations or the ground that TO do so
would be to recognize Alsat!ans as
German subjects.
The baron wrote sharp letter
which brought forth an equally spirit

DEADLOCK IN BATTLE
Fourteenth Day of German Offensive
Finds Situation Unchanged.

London, April 3.-A deadlock has
developed in the battle of Picardy.
As result of the unbreakable de-
Tense of the valiant Anglo--French
armies ana the exhaustion Of the shat
tered German armies today-the four
teenth Of the German offensive
found the battle f-cnt virtually I'M
changed.
From General Foch, the allied gen.
eralissimo, down to the humblest phi
vate the opinion is deep rooted that
any further effort o. the Germans to
break through the allied front and
capture the base city OF Amiens will
prove disastrous failures.
Considerable rain has fallen at in
tervals during the past twenty-tour
hours and when the combat is re-
newed the opposing armies will have
to struggle over field thick with
mud. as was the case in the bloody
Flanders battle.
Already German losses have
mounted to an appalling total, but it
is evident that the Kaiser will not
reckon with the life blood of his SOL
diers if he sees the slightest chance
ior success. So hard were the Ger
mans driven during the early stages
If the offensive that many of their
wounded lay for davs on the battle
field without attention.
Cavalry and artillery were ruth
lesslv driven over their bodies, and
infantry advances were made at times
across ground covered with the cead
and wounded that had fallen III earlier
results.

had known of personally, was enough
to make a persons blood boil with
rage. He told of Belgium women VINO
had been burned with red hot irons,
of mems eyes that had been poked out
and of forty-one of the soldiers in
his regiment who had been brutally
killed after being taken prisoners and
were found by his company later.
Many other instances were related
to show the barbarianism Of the of the
Germans and in closing he said, "tna;
is what you in America may cxpec;
if the Huns ever get over here
Hon. Crawford Vaughan followed
Col. Grey. He addressed the men as
fellow democrats, which put him in
sympathy with his audiences immcd-
lately. He said that although nc was
ten thousand miles from home THAI
since he had been in America he felt
that he was "at home," because his
country had adopted constitution like
the United States and he found the
Americans to be like brothers. lie
referred to Alexandria as having been
the home of George Washington-the
father of freedom-as nc expressed it
and that he knew that America would
never surrender the flag to the Huns.
His speech from the opening to the
close was most inspiring, and he was
frequently interrupted by cheers from
the men, which were given with y
will.
President Colin H. Livingston. OF
the shipbuilding company, who had
arrived after the meeting opened, was
next introduced and made a short
address. which was greeted with roi.s-
ing applause. He referred to the fact
that only sixty days ago the ground
on which the buildings were being
erected was only vacant field, and
that within the next thirty DAYS or s.
a start would be made in the building
Of the ships. He urged the men to be
faithful in doing their duty and from
the response given him there can be
no doubt what they will.
Music was furnished by the Indian
Guard Band. The "Star Spancle1
Banner was played at the close o.
the speaking after which the meet
ing adjourned.

Toronto, April 3.-The entire plant
Of the Thor Iron Works, on the water
front at the foot of Bathurst street,

clusively in shipbuilding since the out

Two hundred employees VINO were a.

If there is any ono who thinks the
men employed at the Virginia Ship
building Corporations yards in this
citv are not alive to the needs of the
work in which they are engaged, they
should have been present at the pa
triotic meeting held at the shipyard
today at 12 o'clock and heard them
cheer the speakers. who addressed
them. It was most gratifying 10 sec
the close attention which the men paid
and to listen to the hearty cheers
piven by them to the telling argu-
nents presented.
The speakers were Lieut.. Col. l.
hord Grey, late commander OF the
5ritish Fusileers, who has seen twen-
lone years of service in the British
my; Hon. Crawford Vaughan, Pre-
ier of South Australia, and Mr.. Colin
Il. Livingston, of Washington, prcsi-
aent of the Virginia Shipbuilding Cor
..oration.
Vice President B. w. Morse presid-
and introduced the speakers. Be
,rc announcing the. first speaker Mr..
orse took occasion to state that
decision had been made in regard
70 the selection of a slogan for the
big sign which his company has erect
ed near the shipyard. 1t was sue-
gested by Mrs. I. F. Fornshill, of 722
Queen street. 1t is: "More tons, less
Huns" She will get $40 for the sug-
gestion.
Lieut.. Col. Grey was then presented
to the big audience. He spoke very
earnestly, reciting many of his expert
enccs while in the war against Ge.-
many and told the men that what the
Huns had done to the young girls in
Belgium and France would be done to
their mothers and sisters if they are
not stopped, as it would be only
question of time when they would
