BRITISH NAVAL
 FORCES TRY TO
 BL0CKPASSACE
Associated Pressl


 LONDON, April 23.-Sir Eric Ged- des, first lord of the admiralty, an nounced today in the house of con- mons that the effort of the British naval forces to bottle up the Ger man submarine base of Zeebrugge had been at least partially success full. The British forces succeeded in blocking the entrance of the Bruges ship canal effectively, probably shut ting off Bruges from future sea con- munications.
 The operations were directed at the submarine base with the inten- tion of stopping the channels be- tween Zeebrugge and Ostend, thus preventing submarine communication and bottling up a number of enc my underwater craft in Zeebrugge. Incomplete reports fail to show whether this was accomplished or not.
 British storming parties landed at the Zeebrugge mole and stormed the defensive works there. One German destroyer was torpedoed' and sunk. Two of the ships intended for bar riers were sunk at the entrance of the Bruges canal, probably blocking it. The piling beside the Zeebrugge mole was blown up by an obsolete British submarine filled with explos. ives which was rammed into the works. The British attacking forces lost one destroyer and two coastal motor boats. The losses to the Brit ish landing parties were also severe
 EARLY REPORT
 LONDON, April 23.-British naval forces yesterday raided the German submarine bases of Ostend and Zee, brugge and attempted to block the channels through which German sub. marines pass out into the North sea by sinking five old cruisers which had been filled with concrete into this passage. The cruisers were run aground and blown up after being abandoned by their crews. The at tempt is said to have been at least partially successful.

LESSEN OUTPUT
 PLEASURE CARS

WASHINGTON. D. C., April 23.- Automobile manufacturers met today with the fuel administration and the war industries board to agree upon some system of voluntary curtail ment of passenger automobile manu facture for the duration of the war This system will probably reduce the output of pleasure cars by at least 75 per cent after July 1 next
 The manufacturers, in a common understanding, have already adopted a plan which curtails the produc tion of passengers cars 30 per cent up to July l. The reduction in this class of vehicle will enable the man. ufacturers to engage in more extend ed war work and at the same time effect a considerable saving in fuel supplies.

The Irish declare that this measure must first be passed upon by an Irish parliament acting under the proposed home rule meas ure before it will be complied with in Ireland and that they will use all means in their power to resist it's enforcement unless this is done The Irish leaders believe that the American government will intercede for Ireland when it has heard Ire lands side of the controversy.

ARGENTINE AND URUGUAY ENTER
 CONFLICT SOON
Associated Preas)


 LONDON, April 23.-A Berlin dis patch to Amsterdam says that the German government expects that both Argentina and Uruguay will declare war against Germany within a short time. The German newspa. pers, it is declared, have received instructions from the censor officials to prepare the public for the entry of these two South American coun. tries into the lists against Germany.
 It is believed here that German agents in the two countries have been able to obtain information that indicates that Argentina is about to cast aside her neutrality. and it is known here that Uruguay will fol- low the lead of the Argentine gov ernment. The sentiment in Argen- tina is overwhelmingly favorable to the allied cause, and many demon strations against the governments attitude in not declaring war on Germany have been held during the past few months. It Is believed that President Irigoyen has been forced to yield to the popular clamor in order to retain his control over the government.

TWO KILLED IN
 REVOLVER DUEL
 IN COURT ROOM
"A ASsoc,atod pssl


 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April 23.- Tragedy marked the closing of the governments case against thirty two Hindus charged with conspiring in the United States to foment a revolution agianst the British rule in India. In the closing minutes of the case, two of the leading defend ants were killed in a revolver duel. Ram Singh, one of the defendants, shot and instantly killed Ran Chan dra, editor of the Hindu publication, "Ghadr," and Singh was in turn killed by James B. Halohan, a depu- ty United States marshal on guard duty. Singh was also a member of the "Ghadr" staff. The reason for his killing his chief, also defend ant in the cases, is unknown.
 Following the shooting, the Hin. dus were hurriedly removed from the court room and searched for arms, none being found. Later the case went to the jury. The case has been long drawn out and hard fought throughout It was opened November 20, 1917, and has been continuously heard since that time

ALASKA DRAFT
 NOW ADVANCED
 TO MAY FIRST
fASSnCiafad D~assl

Associated p~oesl
 JUNEAU, April 23.-The Alaska draft has been advanced from June to May 1, according to an announce ment made here today from terri torial draft headquarters. No state ment was made as to the number of men needed for the current draft.
 The above dispatch was received early yesterday morning by The Citi- zen from it's Seattle correspondent. There is no doubt as to it's mean ing and probable correctness.
 Up to a late hour last night the local draft officials had not received any official notification of the date for calling the men to the !colors. It was stated that about 200 question naires yet remain to be heard from A number of the men in remote sec tions have not been given a physical examination, and with the call in the near future the work of the local board will be greatly compli- cated.
 On account of the fact that mails to the remote parts of the interio of Alaska are slow, thus making the draft process very tedious, it is pos. sible that the coast sections only will have the date advanced. This seems more probable on account of the fact that the navigation season will not open here for another month, while on the coast all sections now have open navigation.

He then de cided to take his case up directly with federal officials in Washington and despite the fact that the ma tional capital is in the barred zone he came on here to plead his own case. Millers opponents openly charged that he secured his election with the aid of the German element in Michigan City.
