British Wrest Trench From Foe.

London, May 1.-THE British have
recaptured small portion of front
trench northwest of Albert which the
enemy gained Thursday, it is ANNOUNCE
ed officially.
The statement follows:
"The small portion of our front
trench northwest of Albert gained by
the enemy as a result of his attack
Thursday morning, was recaptured by
usduring the evening by a courter at
tack. We took a few prisoners
"The hostile artillery was active in
the valleys of the Somme and Ancre
rivers and at different points on the
Lys battle front
There was local fighting at Aveluy
wood, north of Albert and hostile ar
tillery activity; particularly in the
Vimy and Robecq sectors and south Of
Dickenbusch. There is nothing furth-
err to report, says the official report
from Field Marshal Haig.
The operation by which the British
regained, in a counter ASSAULT, the
small portion of trench north of AL
bert, which the Germans had captured
Thursday, while a small one, was inn
pOrtant. The position in question lay
on high ground, which had been hotly
contested ever since the Germans
stOrmed their way into Albert.
The temporary success of the Ger
mans cost them dearly, for they suffer
ed heavy casualties from the rifle and
machine gunfire which was poured in
to them as they advanced up the
slopes. The operation was undertake
en- at about daybreak, and shortly af
terward the enemy attempted to reach
the British lines at Bouzincourt, about
200 yards to the north. Here, ESQ,
the British were holding defenses on
the high ground, which the invaders
coveted because it's occupation would
give them a better position to work
from for a big attack.
The graycoats advanced shouting
RETIRE.. 1t was an old trick, in the
hope of confusing the British. The
defenders responded with such grill
ing fire that the Germans acted on
their own cry and fell back, leaving
many dead and wounded behind.

PETER GNoME'S CLUB.
s. hAQY MAAA!1eQVR

A great many of the new members
Of Peter Gnome's club, which was call
ed the Every-Day-Is-Nice club, did not
know just how the club had been start
ed in the first place.
They all knew Peter Gnome and Bill
lie Brownie were the very best OF
friends, and that as soon as Peter had
started his club, the brownies had been
the first to join.
They knew that Peter Gnome hated
weather grumblers and since belonging
to the club they thought weather grum-
blers were very foolish. They had
found that there never was day up
ON which one could not enjoy some
thing.
And they had discovered how much
happier they always were to like every
day as it came along. Yes, they
thought the club was splendid and
they were happy to belong to it.
Still they We're new members and
they did want to find out how the club
started in the very first place of all.
And so they asked Peter Gnome If he
would tell them.
He agreed and they called meeting
to make sure that all members would
hear of the first days and of the start
ing of the club.
"You are right" said Peter, "wheE
you say that Billie Brownie and the
| other brownies were the first members.
And l will tell you the story l told
them. 1t holds the reason for starting
the club" =

RAID
SEALS OSTEND
German U-B0dt Base Bottled
Up Completely.
ENGLISH CASUALTIES LIGHT
Sink Old Cruiser Vindictive, Filled
With Cement, Between Piers Of
Harbor Entrance.

London, May 1.-THE German SUBJ
marine base of Ostend on the Belgian
coast has been blocked as the result
of new raid by British naval forces,
the admiralty announces.
The obsolete cruiser Vindictive, fill
ed with concrete has been sunk across
the entrance to the harbor.
The announcement says:
Operations designed to close the
ports of Ostend and Zeebrugge We're
successfully completed when the ObsO-
lete cruiser Vindictive was sunk be-
tween the piers and across the en-
trance to Ostend harbor.
"Since the attack on Zeebrugge, on
April %, the Vindictive had been fill
ed with concrete and fitted as a block
ship for this purpose.
"Our light forces have returned to
their base with the loss of one motor
launch which had been damaged and
was sunk by orders of the vice admf-
raj TO prevent it from falling into the
hands of the enemy. Our casualties
were light"
Regarding reports that German SUBJ
marines have been unable to enter
Flemish ports and have had TO return
TO Germany, Reuters, Limited, says it
is unable to obtain confirmation in ma
val quarters.
Photographic and other evidence
from Zeebrugge shows the Bruges
canal is still entirely blocked as a re-
suit of the British raid Of April %
and it cannot be used. The obstruc-
ton, it has been found, We're better
placed than at first supposed
German attempts to clear the wat
erway are meeting with. no success
as result Of British air activity and
other causes.
The decision to send the Vindictive
to Ostend was made a few.days after
her return from the Zeebrugge raid.
The task of filling her with concrete
was begun Immediately.
AS on the joint raid on Eeebrugge
and Ostend, this latest British naval
exploit was web guarded secret. 1t
is recalled that after the battle-scarred
cruiser returned from Zeebrugge an
urgent request was made she be sent
up the Thames to London for public
view. The authorities did not encour-
age the proposal, and the agitation
subsidized. All the time the old vessel
was being overhauled for her last voy-
age.

chief engineer of the Dodge Manufac-

The sworn statement also charged
Borglum with promising to change the
personnel of the aircraft board The

follows:
"That in all of the relations con-

his sole asset in the transaction was
to be, first, his personal frie'llship
and association with President Wilson,
whom he stated, he could do anything

"As further asset in this CONNER
cial venture, Mr.. Borglum stated and
gave every one concerned in the mat

with the aircraft production board and
the aerial section of the signal corps,

could obtain for their use plans and
technical details which his company
could use and thus save considerable
both in time and money, in beginning
operations.
THAT one of the partners of this
concern was to have Mr. Hugo S. Glib
son, who is connected with the Brit
ish minister of war in the United
States offices at 120 Broadway, New
York city, who proposed that certain
patents, which he controlled, would be
used by this company, and who also
stated that he would be able to intiu-

way that this company might receive

"That was given to understand by
Mr. BOrglum that the present person

distaSteful TO him, and he was con-
Stantly criticizing their work; that he
definitely proposed to change this per-
sonnet by virtue of his friendship with
President Wilson, and that he asked
me to suggest members for the new
board, which would be more friendly
to him in his projects, that l avoided
giving him any definite answer along
this line: that in the event of newly
constituted aircraft board being form
