Of Representatives and had been gov,
ernor of his state, Senator Stone first
attracted national attention in connec-
ton with Mr.. Bryan's first campaign
for the presidency in 1895.

tative in the Forty-ninth Congress and
was reelected to the Fiftieth and Fiji
ty-first Congresses, serving from 1885
to 1891.

U. S. WAR SECRETARY HOME.
Baker Praises Troops With Gen. Per
shing and Achievements Of Al
lied Forces.

Washington, April 17.-Steeled to
the work ahead of him by personal
knowledge of conditions at the battle
fronts in Europe, Secretary Baker re-
turned to his desk at the Var Depart
ment from his trip abroad. There is
no doubt that he believed measures
to checkmate the German effort will
come out of the pooling of all allied
and American resources under com
mand of Gen. Foch, the French com
mander-in-chief. On his arrival at an
Atlantic port he authorized this state
ment:
Il return with a sense of pride and
confidence at the achievements of the
United States and allied troops abroad
that would justify many trips acros

The Kaiser and Russian Wheat.

Reports from neutral countries tell
Of Germany and Austria shipping to
their starving people several hundred
thousand tons Of Russian and Rou-
manian wheat. No mention is made Of
the price the c%onquering armies paid
for the precious grain for the good
reason that no price was paid.
Farmers here in America are getting
a pretty fair price for their wheat from
a government which Is only asking in
return that some of this money paid
for the crops be loaned back that more
wheat may be bought. .

BITTER STRUGGLE WAGED AS
NEW WAVES OF BOOBIES ARE

Western newspaper Union news service
London, April l7.-Referring to the
situation at the front in the House OF
Commons, Premier Lloyd George said;
The fluctuation between hope and
dependency must continue for some
time yet. But | am still full OF conf
dence. Gen. Plumer tin command
at Messines RIDGE is quite confident.
We have lost territory, but We have
lost nothing vital
Germany's mighty effort on the bat
tlefield of Flanders has won new sue
cesses. According to the latest re-
ports, the important strategic towns OF
Bailleul. Wulvcrghem and Wytschaete
are in German hands, and, more I'M
portant still, the Teutous have carried
a large part of the Messines ridge by
storm. Probably there has been no
more bitter struggle during the war
than that waged along the battle line
through the towns of Bailleul, Neuve
Eglise, WulverShem and Wytschaete,
Neuve Eglise was taken Monday, but
Bailleul held out until fresh masses of
German troops were hurled into the
fray and charged repeatedly or the
tired defenders. The same story might
be told of Wulverghem and Wyt-
schaete, while the battle for Messines
ridge must have been frightful in its
intensity.
The Germans have not attempted to
advance their lines further into the
British lines, for no new attacks on
Merville and further west have been
reported. They have devoted their
sole attention to the work of widening
out the salient and striking at Mes
sincs ridge and the railroad running
about six miles north of Bailleul.
There is higher ground just to the
north of Ba.lleul and Neuve Eglise
from which the British can conduct a
stern defense. Merville is standing
firm, in spite of terrific attacks made
against it. while along the southern
side of the salient there have been no
engagements reported. The same con
dition holds true in thu sector before
Amiens, where there have been only
artillery duels. Raiding operations in
which both sides have taken the init
alive are reported from the French in
the Champagne.
In spite of the reports from the
American front that German attacks
there have been utter failures, a re-
port from Berlin, via Amsterdam, says
that the American positions near st.
Mihiel were taken by storm by the
Germans, who held them against de-
termined counter attacks. II Is prOba-
BILE that the German report deals with
the battle in which the Americans ad-
ministered a sound beating to special
shock troops brought up by the Ger
mans to take the American positions.
Thirteen persons were killed and for
ty-five wounded in Tuesdays long
range bombardment OF Paris.
The American troops northwest Of
TOul again took possession of No
Mans Land near ApremOnt forest
Monday night, after a week in which
the shell-torn land between the trench
es was virtually deserted, except dur
ing the long series of attacks because
of the violence of the artillery fire.

SEIZURE OF SHIPS NECESSITY.
U. s. Reply to Hollands Protest Says

Observation-Disclosures reply TO the

and denouncing the action of the
United states Ia taking over Dutch

Pointing out that The Netherlands
government itself does not question
the legality of the act, Mr.. Lansing
devotes himself to a demonstration

ing from Germany's menacing attitude
which prevented Holland from fulfill
ing her engagements and that instead
of an injustice the step results in real
benefit to the Dutch ship owners and
people.

With the American Army in France,
April 16.-The German attack against
the American positions on the right
bank of the Mouse, north of st. Mihiel,
was made by a force of 400 picked
troops who were recently brought
there from the Russian front. Although
the Americans were outnumbered
more than two to one, they complete
ly ~repulsed the enemy, driving him
back to his own trenches.
Seven days after the Germans
launched their gigantic assault against
the British lines between Lens and
Ypres, the momentum of their attack
has been broken and the waves Of the
Teutonic forces are recoiling before
the rock of the British defense. While
the Germans have made gains OF
ground and have driven a wedge into
the allied lines to a considerable
depth, they seem to have failed In
their attempt to break through or take
important railway functions.
During the last day there have been
bitterly fought engagements in four
places, all on the northern side Of the
salient to the south of Ypres. Seven
assaults against the British trenches
at Melville, near the apex of the tri-
angular dent in the British line, have
been hurled back by the British.
Neuve Eglise. on the extreme south
western spur Of Messines ridge, has
been taken by the Germans after a
terrific struggle and heavy losses, but
they were repulsed near Robecq.
The British, however, have not re-
tired far, and it is probable that they
will at once organize a counter attack
to force the Germans out of the town,
which, IL held, might be a kicking off
point for an attack which might out
flank and make untenable Messines
ridge, the key to the British positions
about Ypres.
Bailleul and Wulverghem, between
Neuve Eglise and Melville, also have
Detn tue SCeleb VI IdIu ii6htiu6, ouI
except for Neuve Eglise, the salient
has stood firm.
1t has been the German plan of cam
paign since March 81, when the great
offensive started, to strike hard at
some particular sector, and if that
blow was parted to turn powerfully
against some new point.
This procedure probably will be fol-
lowed in the next few days by a new
assault somewhere south of Arras. An
attack north of Ypres is hardly posi-
BILE, for the lowlands of Belgium are
yet too waterlogged to permit active
operations. An attack on Arras would
entail the hurting of troops against
Vimy ridge, the labyrinth and other
formidable military works protecting
that city.
1t may be that the savage fighting
reported at Hangard-en-Santerre south
of Albert and on the center of the line
facing Amiens, may mark the begin
ming of a new attempt to sweep west
ward toward Amiens. So far the fight
ing has brought the Germans only
losses in men and ground.
