In statement issued tonight he asserted he had te!e- graphed today to Senator Overman. chairman of the senate judiciary com mittee. urging immediate passage of the law imposing severe penalty on disloyalty It is his opinion, he said. that the violence of last night was the result of neglect by the federal gov ernment to furnish this penalty

BERLIN. via London. April 5.-The text of todays German official com munication follows:
 After a hard struggle We have taken, between the Somme and the Luce rivers. Hamel and also the wooded districts northeast and south west of Villers-Eretoneaux and the castle and Mailly on the west bank of the Avre.
 We attacked yesterday south of the Somme and on both sides of More uil and threw the enemy out from his strong positions English and French reserves advanced against our troops. Their storming attacks broke under our fire
 'The enemy showed desperate re- sistence on the whole of the front. His losses are consequently unusually severe. We took several thousands of prisoners.
 According to a completed colcula- tion, the number of prisoners brought in by the army of General von Hutier in the period from March 21 to March 39 amounts to 51.21S. and the captur- Cu iAJ- NllH lltSG lnE whole booty up to the present has risen omore than 90000 prisoners and more than 1900 guns.

SECOND PHASE OF DEFENSE EXPECTED
By Review Leased wIrel


 WASHINGTON, April 5.-Develop- ment of the second phase of the Ger man drive in Picardy was watched closely here today. army officers ap- parently feeling that the critical point of the great struggle is rapidly approaching. Meager official reports gave little information on which to base definite opinions as to the trend of the fighting. though it seemed evi- dent that the Germans were trying to force a foothold in strategic positions before Amiens and at the same time to increase pressure against the june tion point between the French and British armies.
 Under the new policy laid down by Secretary Baker, the war department aeain had nothing to add to the off cial reports from London and Paris on the battle
 The department is forging ahead with its efforts to speed additional American forces across the water to back up the beleagured lines. One element of the speeding up plans was learned authoritatively. The first in crement of the second draft, to be summoned this month. will be 1900 men instead of 5O.O0O. as previously planned They will be the first con- siderable force mobilized of the S00,- GOO drafted men to be called to the colors this year The remaining 650.- 900 will be called out in monthly in- crements. the size of which will de- pend to some extent upon availability of shipping to transport men already in training to the front.
 There are indications that troop movements towards the seabOard of unusual proportions are already in progress. Railroad passenger and freight schedules in some sections of the country have been set aside tenn porarily in order to give the men right of way to authorization points.
 Movement of American troops al- ready in France is screened complete ly behind the rigid censorship imposed by General Pershing
 Accounts of American movements published in England have indicated that the most seasoned veterans Of General Pershing's army. the men Of Nht AhAo tNDtuaAAhhs dit III the units sent into the battle in Pi- cardy.
 The message specified that Ameri- can regulars were to bear the brunt of the first entry of the crusaders from the new world into the center of the convulsion that is shaking the old world 10 its foundations
 With the increased menace against Amiens developine through the Ger man pressure in the Albert region, officers recalled hopefully the calm confidence with which General Foch. supreme commander. has asserted that the town will not fall into Ger man hands.
 So far it was said. the allies have not been compelled to resort to the use Of their reserves to meet the Ger man efort and their additional forces are still intact. waiting an opportuni- ty tO launch a far-reaching drive.
 Under the unprecedented use of re serves the Germans are making. they can endure the struggle just so long and no longer. Their resources in men are limited. Already there have been signs all along the rest of the front that the line were being thinned out to supply additional reserves for the effort in Picardy.

GREAT GERMAN ATTACK FAILS STATE BRITISH.
Attempt to Take Albert Is Beaten Off With Losses to Enemy After Very Bitter Fighting for Hours.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE. April 5.-(By the Associat- ed Press.)-Hard fighting was pro- ceeding north and south of Albert as the result of a heavy attack by the Germans on the British lines along a front of 5000 yards between Aveluy and Dernancourt.
 According to the latest reports, the Germans had succeeded in getting a foothold on small triangular bit of territory southwest of Albert which brought the attacking troops close to the Albert-Amiens railway
 About the time of the assault de- livered against the British on the AL bert sector the Germans also sent strong forces against the defenses north of Ablainzeville This offensive move was short lived, however, for the British threw the enemy back with heavy losses.
 It is believed that the German op- erations about Albert was undertaken mainly for the purpose of getting hold of the railway running southwest to Amiens, but that it had the additional object of strengthening the enemys lines in this zone.
 The attack was launched at S o'clock after an intense bombardment of the defending position Six enemy divisions were employed in the early hours of the fighting, which was ex- ceedingly bitter North of Albert the British clung tenaeiously to their line, but just to the south the Germans pivoted out from Albert and swung their front westward from Dernan- court until it reached the railway on which the defenders were making a gallant stand.
 Both these attacks today, and those delivered below the Somme yesterday. appear to have been merely forerun- ners of what may be termed the sec ond phase of the offensive" when the Germans will strike another great blow with vast forces against some portion of the long battle front.
 The engagement south of the Somme yesterday which resulted in the British being pushed back to their defenses east of Villers- -Bretoneux, was hard fought. Early yesterday morning the Germans began a tre- mendous bombardment of the allied lines south of the Somme and then moved forward for the attack The fighting continued throughout most of the day, the main weight of the enemy thrust being against the French on 1, the right of the British. No less than i IA German divisions were employed in | this drive between the Scmme and l Montdidier and three of these were famous guard units, namely the first | guards division, commanded bv Prince I Eitel Frederich the guards of Essatz, | and the fourth guards.
 The lats named division was on- posite the British on the south bank of the Somme. Notwithstanding the | great advantage which the enemy had in numbers. the British flung off a succession of heavy attacks and held ] their own. with the exception of the ! sector east of Villers-Bretoneux Here they were forced back slightly but still | retained the town.
