(ASSOCIdI6 FrN9Sb
 NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Captain Vernon Castle, dancer and aviator, member of the British Royal Flying corps, was laid at rest here this af. ternoon. Thousands of New Workers were present to honor the memory of brave man whom they knew better, perhaps, as butterfly man of fashion than in the role of a warrior
 The remains of the captain were accompanied by British honor guard of fellow members of the Royal Flying corps. Many United States army and navy officers were present as a tribute to the charac. ter of the former New York instuct. or of fashionable dancing. Earl Read ing. British high commissioner and ambassador to the United States was also present. Hundreds of New York society men and women were also in attendance.
 Captain Castle was killed last Fri day at Taliaferro Field. near Fort Worth, Texas, when he lost control of his machine after swerving to avoid a collision with an American cadet aviator. Only the quickness of Captain Castle prevented the loss of the Americans life, but he could not regain control of his own ma. chine, which crashed to the ground killing him instantly.

CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR SHOT BY
 UNKNOWN MAN
(ASSociated Pr.Sal


 SEATTLE. Wash, Feb. 19.-Re- turning from addressing a large crowd last night, Ralph Horr, can. didate for mayor of Seattle. was shot by an unidentified man who was hiding in Horr's office. The bullet from the revolver entered Horr's left breast high above the heart and emerged from the arm- pit. Horr is not dangerously wound ed.
 Horr declares that when he en. tered his office last night two un- known men stopped him with re- volvers. one of them asserting: You won't heed our warnings" and fired pointblank. The assailant fled with his companion. Horr declares that the shooting is the elimination of several threats he has received re- gently through the mail and over the telephone, in both cases anony- mously, promising death if the can didate did not stop attacking anti patriots and underworld characters.
 After he was shot Horr telephoned the police, and after that informed the newspapers of his injury. Horr had just closed his campaign when he was shot. The primaries are be- ing held today. and returns are com. ing slowly. Horr's opponents fear that the attempt to kill him will result in throwing him many votes which would otherwise have gone to them.

 ON WEST FRONT
Associated PrAss)

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Feb. 19.-Information SC. cured today from recently captured German prisoners indicates that a monster thrust is to be shortly forth. coming from the Germans along the western front. The allied leaders expect to witness the beginning of a mighty German attempt to wrest the offensive away from the allied forces and are making their prepa- rations accordingly.
 According to the information ex- tracted from the German prisoners, the main attack will be delivered on the front held by the British forces between Arras and St. Quen. tin. Great masses of fresh troops are being held in reserve by the enemy to carry out this movement. Other attacks will also be delivered in force further to the south as far as the American sector.
 The Germans will employ numer- ous tanks and make use of mys- terious gas, never before used in warfare. The Huns are planning upon surprise attacks, and the pris. oners declare that the leaders have told their soldiers that but very few allied soldiers will survive the tanks and gas bombardment and that the Germans will walk right through the gaps in the allied ranks and overrun the entire country.
