GERMAN ASSAULT IN
 FLANDERS HAS FAILED
Enemy Nowhere Able to Obtain Footing on High Ground TeutOns Were Able to Secure Part of PlOegsteert Wood.

London, April 10-"On the Mes sines front the enemy's attack today was repulsed," Maj. Gen. F. B. Mau- rice, chief director of military opera tions at the war office, announced this afternoon. "The enemy has obtained no footing on the high ground any where"
 The Germans captured a consider able part of Ploegsteert wood, Gen. Maurice said.
 "In the fighting yesterday the enemy advanced in the center to depth of $500 yards" said Gen. Maurice. Ut is quite certain we lost some guns. In an advance of such a depth considerable Portuguese artil- lery must have been lost and prob- ably number of prisoners.
 'In the retirement of the French to the line of the Ailette river two French battalions were cut off and the Germans took about 2,000 prison ers," said Gen. Maurice "The with drawal of the French was made on account of an awkward corner in the line.
 "The latest fighting" the general went on, shows that the enemy is merely carrying out another chapter in his efforts to exhaust the British army.
 His first scheme was to cut off the British from the French. They failed. Now he is attacking wherever he sees a favorable chance, with the idea of bleeding us white if he can.
 Tn yesterdays fighting" Gen. Maurice said, "the enemy transferred the scene of his operations to the rfont between Armentieres and Beth une. The ground of the main attack was held in the center by a Portu- guese division, with British division on each flank. The main blow fell on the Portuguese.
 "The terrain is an absolutely flat alluvial plain, with no feature of any technical advantage, but an awkward salient has been made into our line, whence the enemy may attack either Bethune in the south or Armentieres in the north.
 Great importance attaches to the fighting around Givenchy, because this is one of the few rises and is an important gateway on the road to Bethune. Its recovery by the British is therefore highly important"

sFDIT|ON PUNISHED BY
 LONG IMPRISONMENT
pm Provides 2O-Year Term and S10OOO Fine-Measure Pro- h;bits Words or Acts Support ing Enemy.

Washington, April 1O-The sedition ,u, nrobibiting under penalties of 20 ..oors, imprisonment and $10,O0O fine ;onruaoe or acts of disloyalty or ob- ..r,ct;on of the army draft and Lib artv Loans. was passed today by the Senate without record vote. It now goes to conference between the House and Senate and final enact ment is expected soon.
 protracted and bitter debate mark sd consideration of the measure, the massage of which has been strongly urped by administration officials, to hermit the government itself to deal with disloyal agitators and check the growing dangers of mob violence.
 Although modified to meet the ob- iections of senators who claimed the original draft would curb legitimate freedom of speech, the bill retains the broad inhibition of words or acts which support or favor the cause of the German empire or it's allies. .o or oppose the cause of the United States" It also would punish wilful and "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, contemptuous or abusive" language about the American form of govern ment, constitution, military or naval forces, flag or uniform" and wilful ut terances designed to curtail produc- ton of essential war materials.
 The Senate adopted an amendment by Senator Jones of New Mexico, providing for dismissal of federal ex- ecutive employees making disloyai statements. This was substitute for one introduced by Senator Pen rose of Pennsylvania several days ago, after attacks had been made upon George Creel, chairman of the committee on public information, and  other officials on account of their writings in the past.
 Senator Lodge, after he and other senators had denounced alleged dis loyal publications in the German American press, withdrew his amend ment prohibiting German-language publications unless paralleled by En- glish translations. Senator Nelson of Minnesota opposed the amendment declaring it an insult" to loyal Americans of German blood.

REVOLUTION HOLDS
 FINLAND IN GRASP
 AND ANARCHY RULES
rRepubIlcan A. p. Leased WireJ

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 2S.-The long threatened revolution in Finland has begun in the eastern provinces, accord ing to spdrse reports reaching Hapar- anda. The Red Guard is reported to have occupied the railway station at Helsingfors, all the foreign consuls have left the capital and sharp fighting is reported around and in Viborg.
 The Red Guard is holding Rikimaki and other important functions, Russian soldiers arc aiding the reds and rein Agreements are coming from Petrograd.
 The Finnish minister in Petrograd has protested to the workmen's and Soldiers delegates against Russian in reference in Finnish affairs. He re- ceived a reply that "Russia's govern ment through it's principles. is in duty bound 10 support the proletariat in Finnand in its battle against the Fin nish bourgeoise." The Bolshevik com mission further declared that help had been sent to the reds and that still more troops would be sent them.
 The forces of law and order in Hell singfore are powerless, because the city is commanded by the guns of Russian warships, which are in the hands of Bolshevik sailors. The commandant of the fleet summoned the city's authori- ties, including the socialist leaders, to his speech Saturday and demanded that the government White Guard be dis banded. He threatened to rage the city if the order was disobeyed. President Svinhufvud replied the demand could not be complied with.
 The Helsingfors Bolshevik organ Iz- vestia admits that the Red Guard has got out of the hands of its creators. In reports that troops at various places are beyond control and that they have been guilty of murdering and plunder- ing. The newspaper adds that anar- chistic conditions prevail.
 The Finnish government has sent to all the powers that have acknowledged Finland's independence a protest against Russian interference in Fin irish affairs.

WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

While the military operations on the various fronts continued at low ebb the political pot still boils furiously in Austria Hungary and Germany, in both of which countries there have been new outbreaks among the populace because of economic and food conditions re- sulting from the war. In addition the eastern provinces of Finland are wit messing a revolution, according to un- official dispatches, with the Russian Red Guard in battle with the Finnish army. The Red Guard is said to be in occupation of the railway station at Helsingfors and to be in control at Ri kimaki and other important junction points and the commander of the Rus sian warships in Helsingfors has threatened to rage the city with the guns of the fleet unless the Finnish white guard is disbanded. The Bolche- vik government at Petrograd is report ed to have sent endorsements to the Red Guard, six hundred of them de- parted for Viborg, taking with them machine guns.
 Dispatches from Switzerland are to the effect that there has been serious rioting in Bohemia owing to the short age in flour rations, strong measures by the police being required to disperse the mobs, which smashed shop win dows and plundered stores. Likewise severe outbreaks are reported in the industrial regions in Rhenish Prussia, where troops had to be called out to deal with the dissatisfied populace.
 Attacks by the pam Germanists against any and all persons who are opposing their war aims continue un- | abated in Germany. A remarkable ut terance is that made by the pan Ger man Deutsche Tages Zeitung, which {. calls for a revolt against the present regime in Germany. Announcement is made that Count von Hertling, the im- perial German chancellor, shortly will make a further statement regarding the Belgian question. offering positive sug- gestions and proposals.
 Nowhere in any of the fronts have the infantry operations risen above patrol encounters and trench raiding maneuvers.
 The artillery duels between the Brit ish and Germans on the French north ern front are severe on several sectors and in the hill region of the Italian front the big guns of the belligerents again are engaged. Several successful raids have been carried out by the French troops against the Germans in Champagne and St. Mihiel sectors of the French front.
 In both the French and Italian thea ters the allied and enemy aviators daily are indulging in extensive fighting in the air. There also has been consider able bombing by allied airmen of Gen. man positions behind the fighting line and also over Germany. Four Ameri- can aviators aided a French flying squadron in daylight raid over Ger many, all the fliers returning safely tc their bases

 "CARRYON" WHILE
 AIR BOMBS FALL

the large auditorium were assembled to hear a speech by Lieutenant Gen. eral Shuts. Sir Thomas HOldich, the president, announced that notice had just been received of an air raid and that the police informed him the audi ence would be safer if they went to the basement of the building. There were loud cries of Carry on!" and the audience remained in the hall. Gen. eral Shuts spoke calmly for an hour amid reports of the guns.
 A majority of theaters went through with their performance with de- creased audiences, but some were idle because of actors failing to arrive on account of lateness of suburban trains
 The raid was carried out by con- sidearble number of airplanes, which followed the familiar tactics of attack ing in relays. As far as could be seen, not more than three or four airplanes broke through the London defenses. The invaders were attacked by num- bers of British machines.
