STILL VERY ACTIVE

notwithstanding the fact that the
fighting has decreased in intensity
at several points, the Germans are
still very active in many sectors,
notably on the Oslo, where the enemy
made a determined attempt this
morning to make crossing of the
river. The attack was most severe
while it lasted, but the Germans
were frusti ated in their attempt with
comparative ease by the French
forces who are guarding that ap-
proach. One storm battalion sue
ceeded in crossing the stream, but
the men did not return when their
comrades retreated. The battalion
was almost wiped out and those who
were not killed, were made prison
ers. The banks of the stream were
Uttered with thousands of dead and
wounded after the battle.

FORD EMPLOYEES
ARE VICTIMS Of
STRANGE MAlADY
Two Thousand Workers In Big Auto
Factory Under the Care of
Doctors.

ST. LOUIS, April 2.-Officials of
the Ford Motor company admit their
inability to account for the myster-
ious illness, which appears to have
become epidemic among the workers
employed in the big factory. The
men are becoming i'll at the rate of
about two hundred and fifty daily
and it is estimated that fully two
thousand have contracted the strange
disease thus far. The ailment is said
to resemble the grip somewhat.
Several specialists have been en-
gagged by the company to conduct
an investigation, in the hope that
further trouble may be avoided, but
little progress appears to have been
made. 1t is limited that the sickness
may have been caused by German
plotters, and it is understood that an
inquiry is being conducted along
that line.

STARTING IN ITALY

ROME, April 2.-The Austro-Ger-
man forces on the lower Piave river
have launched an offensive against
the Italians, according to announce
ment made by the war office today.
The Italians stood their ground,
however, having repulsed the open
ing attacks in a series of counters
which greatly weakened the enemy
forces.
Further offensive operations are
anticipated, and it is believed the at
tack along the Piave marks the
opening of the campaign. The forty
divisions of Austrians, which have
been waiting for the arrival of food
and war supplies, are reported tc
have received ample for present
needs and are now ready to start
their drive. The objective of the
enemy is thought to be Breccia, or
the east bank of Lake Garda, and
it is believed that a big attack is
also planned for the west, for the
purpose of breaking through to LON
bard.

GERMANS ATTACK
FRENCH CAPITAL
WITH A|RP[ANES
Raiders Circle Over Paris For More
Than Hour Before They Are
Driven Off.

PARIS, April 2.-This city was
aroused at an early hour this morn
ing by the approach of enemy air
raiders and for more than an hour
the attackers pelted the capital with
bombs, dropped from high attitudes,
The extent of the damage done has
not been made known.
At the approach of the raiders,
anti-aircraft guns were set in mo-
ton and defending planes hasteRed
to engage the visitors. A contin-
uous curtain fire also was placed
about the city, but in spite of these
precautions, several of the raiders
reached the city and dropped their
deadly missiles.
At the end of little more than
an heur, the announcern ont was MADE
that the raiders had been driven
, back to their own territory.

PARIS, April 1.-Allied air scouts,
which are lowering continually over
the German lines, report that fully
seventy-seven enemy divisions have
been drawn up along the line to the
north and east of Amiens, with the
apparent intention of launching an
other gigantic attack in an effort
to sever the British front and sweep
through Amiens toward the coast.
The Germans seemingly have learn
ed that infantry attacks, without
great artillery preparation, are both
costly and fruitless and no further
large-scale hostilities are anticipated
before the German guns have been
placed in position behind the waiting
troops. That few of these guns have
arrived from the rear, is indicated
by the weakness of the lombard
ment in front of Amiens.

LAWMAKERS URGE
SEVERE PENALTY

Poindexter Favors Twenty Years For
Those Who Talk Against
Uncle Sam.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April g
There is strong sentiment in con-
gress in favor of more severe pun
ishment for those found guilty of
talking in favor of Germany or
against the United States. The SEN
ate judiciary committee has adopted
the Poindexter amendment, which
probes for sentence of twenty
years and a fine of ten thousand
dollars for those who shall, by word
of mouth or by act, support or favor
the German cause in the present

the cause of the United States.

will find ready acceptance among
the lawmakers when the bill is re-
ported for consideration.

GETTING READY

LONDON, April 2.-Reports from
the battlefront continue favorable
for the Allies. 1t is confidently be-
lieved that the first rush of the Ger
mans has been stopped, although
considerable fighting continues at
many points. The Germans are now
consolidating their captured posi-
tions and are bringing up heavy ar
tillery, preparatory to resumption
of offensive operations. The belief
is expressed, however, that the Allied
line will prove improbable against
future attacks.

AMERICANS DELIGHTED

American Headquarters, April 2.
The movement of American troops
to the real battlefront continues
without interruption and in all quar-
tiers there is evidence of eagerness
on the part of the men to get into
the action.
The American trenches northwest
of Toul were deluged with shells
last night, the bombardment lasting
several hours. More than four
thousand shots were fired by the
German guns and half of the missiles,
it is estimated, were gas shells. The
American guns replied with alacrity.

Until Captain Reports No
Soldiers Aboard

Captain Gotsche. master Of the
steamship United States of the Scan
Observation-Disclosures Line, and his Nor
wegian, Danish and Swedish passenger
complement Of sixty-six persons, were
alarmed yesterday when Mayor Hyian's
reception boat, the Patrol. swooped
down upon them and offered greet
ings.
Everybody on board, from the skip
per to the pantry boy, thought they
were pinched. Stewards ran among the
passengers assuring them that all
would be wen and urged them not to
be alarmed
Captain Gotsche has been running to
this port for many years and is accus-
toned to slowing UP at Quarantine for
the Health Officers boat and the Coast
Guard cutter that puts the immigration
and customs inspectors aboard, but the
noisy pursuit Of the Patrol yesterday
puzzled him.
Never before had he been hailed by
this strange craft with q green flag,
laden with policewomen and JOY riders,
ready to shower cigars and cigarettes
and noise upon his passengers. But
he slowed up anyhow and the Patrol
came alongside.
"Any troops on board ?" came the
shout from the Patrols wheel house
ANY what" echoed the skipper OF
the United States.
ANY soldiers? American soldiers ?"
"No. We don't carry soldiers. We
come from Denmark and have only
Danes, Norwegians and Swedes on
board. They don't understand English
What you want?
There was no audible reply az the
Patrol moved away.
