South of Peronne French troops
made further crossings of the Somme

The Germans last night were de-

Sheriff ]. R. Hicks and Deputy
Sheriff Wise Birdsong were among
the first men to reach the scene OF
the accident. They found both men
practically helpless, but Sergeant
Eshbaugh soon revived. Lieutenant
Marvin was unconscious.
Lieutenant Marvin's home is in New
York City. Sergeant Eshbaugh says
his home is "at Souther Field"
According to Sergeant Eshbaugh,
meChanician who occupied the seat
directly behind Lieutenant Marvin
the accident was caused from the
Eeaviness of the ground due to the
recent rain and the greater humidity
than was thought, which hindered
the plane from rising as high as 1t
should to clear the tree. Then, ac-
cording to Sergeant Eshbaugh, it was
their plan to rise and swoop over the
tree just as they reached it, but in
the attempt, the right wing struck a
limb of the tree, completely turning
the machine around and plunging it
&c the ground where it fell directly
across branch railroad track
IN the fall Lieutenant Marvin was
pinned in the machine, the crank
case being smashed and driven back.
He was caught between part OF
the crank case which was torn from
the front and his seat. Some trouble
was had in removing Lieutenant Mar
vim from the machine his head be-
ing badly bruised and parts of his
body terribly mashed.

occasioned by the somewhat strained

WASHINGTON, April S.-Germany
has served what amounts to an ulti- |
matum upon Spain, demanding repud- |
iatiOn of the trade agreement reached
between that nation and the United
dispatches received here today said,
that if the trade agreement is enforc-
ed, German submarines will inaugurate
a general campaign of sinkings
against Spanish ships bringing sup
plies from this country. AS a result
a real serious situation has developed
which may have far reaching conse-
quences to this government
Great quantities of supplies that are
badly needed by General Pershing's
men are still held in Spain Should
the Spanish government finally de-
eide that it cannot live up to the trade
agreement the lack of these supplies
may prove serious.
That these goods have not gone for
ward is declared to be due to the
American war trade board 1t has
failed to take advantage of the agree
ment heretofore and send forward the
supplies that were promised to Spain
IN return for the release of the PERISH
ing goods. 1t is understood that this
delay has been due to the necessity
of completing certain invest. atoms,
but nevertheless the reports received
here from Madrid indicate that the
Spanish government is intensely dis
pleased because of it and the action
of King Alfonsos cabiet may be in
fluenced by this unless a satisfactory
explanation is forthcoming through
diplomatic sources.
While Gnain hoc loc
aid to Germany and that country is a
veritable nest of German spies oper-
ating against the entente, officials
had built great hopes on the new
trade agreement to change this sit
uation. The Madrid government is
understood to have frankly promised
that it would enforce the strictect neu-
trality and would stamp out the u
boat bases that are known to be along
the Spanish coast. Now if German
influences again is to become upper
most in Madrid these bases will con-
tinue and must of necessity plan in
creasingly formidable menaces to this
country while it's millions of men are
| over seas.
1t is understood here that Germany
intends to force an immediate decis-
ion from Spain on its protest against
the trade agreement. The reports
reaching here indicated that a very
speedy reply was asked for in the com.
munication sent from Berlin anC
which now is in the hands of The
Spanish government.
Diplomatic officials explained toda,
that the situation presents severa
most serious questions affecting tn,
United States and the allies. Becaus,
of this the state department is un
derstood to have taken up with tn
trade board the getting through i'm
mediately of at least a portion of tn
supplies promised to Spain, so tina
the agreement can be made befor
Spain is compelled to start its answe
Berlinward.

LONDON, April 8.-The same mas
terly generalship and steadfastness OF
courage that saved the allies at the
Marine and at Verdun, are prevailing
in the world battle on the Picardy
plains.
At every point Won Hindenburg is
finding himself checkmated by the
brilliant strategy of General Foch, the
generalissimo of the allies.
A few slight gains were claimed by
the German war office in its report
sunday and it was stated that the vii
lagos of Pierremande and Folembray,
south of the Avre were taken.
Sunday was marked by intense
fighting all the way from the Albert
sector to the Montdidier district,
distance of about 35 miles.
Field Marshal Haig reported that
the British carried out successful min
or operations south of the Somme and
that they led to SHARP fighting
Strong German attacks were at
tempted against both the British and
French.
All of the German efforts to re-
capture ground taken by the Brltisn
failed with heavy losses.
In the region of Hangard-enSan-
southeast of Amiens, the Germans hac
massed troops for an attack along the
front north of Montdidier, but thf
French artillery blasts broke upon the
German formations and the Teutoni
were unable to deliver their thrusts
in this zone.
British military critics look for an
other big German push soon, regard
ing the operations of the past thirty
six hours as efforts to better the pc
sitions.
