JEWS REJOICING
 OVER EVIDENCE
 OF RESTORATION

London, March 23-Announcement by the government that the Jewish regiment being recruited by the Brit ish army will fight in Palestine is re- garded as valuable evidence of the determination of the government to restore the Jews to Palestine. News of the recruiting for the regiment in the United States has caused much pleasure among the Jews in England.
 The first contingent of the Jewish regiment, which was formed a month ago, has left for the east. A few days ago these men marched through Cairo, Egypt. They were received enthusiastically and a large number of recruits were gained. A large number of men for the regiment are in training in England and the regi- ment headquarters in London and training camps in western England are the centers of great interest to Jews and non-Jews.

 Three of Our Patrols Reach German Lines
 and Then Retreat. ENEMY MUNITION
 DUMP DESTROYED Direct Hits Are Made on First and Third
 Enemy Trenches.

With the American Army in France, Friday, March 22- (By the Associated Press) - The Germans launched a heavy gas attack against a certain town in our lines northwest of Foul last night. No wind was blowing and the fumes of mustard of gas from the shells hung low over the lines for several hours. The batteries firing the shells were located to the right of Richecourt and our artillery was busy all morning with a retaliatory shelling
 The town shelled in the gas attack contained a certain number of Amer. jeans. Our artillery today dropped a number of large shells into Joli wood and after firing a few minutes ob. LdAhCu HlLS Ou IIl0 target, CduSlnB tremendous explosion, followed by dense columns of smoke as a big en. emy munition dump blew up. The first explosion was followed by two others less severe. Our shells also made direct hits in the enemy's firs and third line trenches.
 The Germans again have been giver an example of the accuracy of the fire of our 37 lnillimetre guns.

They also obtained direc hits on the junction of communica tion trenches as men were passing ant into the entrance of the dugouts whicl a number of the enemy were seen t enter and from which smoke was is suing.

HUSBAND TAXES WIFE FROM HER
 BURNING HOME

Mrs. Tony Kowiuk, of 7S6 Penn broke street, who has been i'll with pneumonia for the last week, was overcome by smoke and nearly lost her life when a fire started in blind attic of her home about noon today. She was rescued with difficulty by her husband and Mat Fro, a neighbor, who fought their way through the smoke and carried the unconscious form of the woman down the stairs to the street and safety. She was then rushed in an ambulance to the Bridgeport hospital where her condi- ton is said to be serious.
 The fire was discovered by people on the street who saw dense masses of smoke issuing from the roof of a three-story structure owned by Thomas Kelley. An alarm was inn mediately sent in from Box 612, at Pembroke and Hallam streets. The alarm was answered by Engine com panies 2 and $, along with Chemical 1 and Truck 3. The entire force of fire fighters was in charge of Assistant Chief Thomas F. Burns, who soon had the blaze under control.
 The damage to the building is esti- mated at about $500. There was no danger at any time of the fire spread ing to adjoining buildings.

The Hague, March 23-Seiz- ure of Dutch shipping by the Allied governments was un- just, Dr. Loudon, the Dutch for eign minister, declared yester- day in the upper chamber.
 Without a shred of justice, ? he said, "the associated govern ment have carried out the pro- posal, although the Dutch gov- ernment in it's reply went as far as possible to meet the de- mands of the associated powers.
 "The resounding protest of the gov ernment will find an echo in the two chambers and among the whole Dutch people. It is a protest inbued with the principle of right

100000 MEN OF 21
 TOBE REGISTERED

Washington. March 23-Considera- tion of the joint resolution providing flor the registration under the select i've service act of all men who have reached the age of 21 years since June 5 last was taken up in the Senate to- day.
 Senator Hardwick's amendment providing that all male persons, citi- zens of the United States or residing in the United States who have become 21 years old since June 5 and not al- ready enrolled in the military forces shall be exempt from the draft law was rejected by the Senate without a record vote.
 The plan is expected to draw about 100000 more men into the roll of eligibles. After a brief debate the measure was laid aside temporarily to be taken up later when an amend ment offered by Senator New of h. diana, providing for compulsory mili- 'tary training between 19 and 21 years, will be discussed.

 All day and much of last night the conflict continued to rage with in creasing violence, as fresh German divisions were hurled into the fray in an attempt to smash through the British defenses.
 More intense fighting is expected.
 The operation is so vast and is changing with such kaleidoscopic ra- pidity as the line surges backward and forward that it is impossible to visualize the scene sufficiently to give a connected and accurate account of it at present.
 The war office said there are pre- pared positions behind the British to which they are falling back.
 The statement follows:
 Heavy fighting continued until late hours last night on the whole battle front. During the afternoon pow great weight of infantry and artil- lery, broke through our defensive system west of St. Quentin.
 "Our troops on this part of the battle front are falling back in good order across the devastated area to prepared positions farther west.
 "Our troops on the northern portion Of the battle front are holding their positions.
 'Very heavy fighting With fresh hostile forces is in progress"
 The statement of the British war office that the troops west of St Quentin are falling back to prepared positions indicates that the Germans although they have broken through the British defensive system, have not pierced the entire British zone of de- fense. The aIlusion in the British statement to the defensive system may be only to the main battle front system, behind which other lines have been prepared. If that is the case the Germans have done little more than repeat what the British did ir the battle of the Somme, when they pierced the Hindenburg line and cap 1 tured long stretches of it, forcing the Germans to retreat to prepared DO sitions in the rear.

These activities, they assert, have to do with sabotage and raising de- fense money for the members of the I. W. w. who are soon to come to trial here on charges of violating the espionage law. The government agents say secret communications sent out announce among other things that William D. Haywood is back at his desk''; that "the l. W. W. is getting back into normal form; that 'it may be necessary to resort to other meth ods."
 Federal officials have learned that the I. W. w. had recenpts in February of more than $24,O0O and disburse- ments of more than $31,000, with a surplus of $19,000 in the treasury.
 According to the word sent out to the membership, it is declared, new pamphlets and song books are being prepared for publication.
 Many of these songs are reputed to have been written by members in the Cook county and nearby jails. The song book will retail for 1O cents and is part of a widespread campaign. it is declared, that is tc bring in defense money''-unless the government stops the drive"

BEER OUTPUT TO BE REDUCED BY
 THIRTY PER CT,

Bridgeport breweries will reduce production of beer to the extent of 30 per cent. during the months of April. May and June. This action follows
 the request of the United States Brew CTS association, which has made a similar request to it's members all over the country. It was prompted by the U. s. Food and Fuel adminis- trators for the purpose of conserving barley.
 After July l the old California bar ley will be on the market and there will be no further necessity for con serving the grain and the breweries will resume their normal output. It is specifically stated in the re- quest to the brewers that the restric- tion refers only to production and not sales.
 By the restriction the brewers will brew only 70 per cent. of the, amount of beverages brewed in April, May and June of last year. The exact amount is to be determined by the monthly interes. revenue reports

 The weather is wonderfully fine, aI- though the visibility is handicapped i by local mists Mory is on the north- ern battle front, 15 miles below Arras. It is about four miles back of the line held by the British before the Germans began their offensive.
 Taking the situation as a whole, the British are well satisfied with the re- suits of the first stage of the fighting, They undoubtedly lost several ruinOA Villages and the Germans probably will make much of their capture, but the defenders have held on amazingly well and worked terrible slaughter among the attackers.
 The fighting today was greatest in intensity on two sectors, one north west of Cambrai and the other south west. The fighting on the northern front was about BuIlecort, while liar g1court is the southern center. A bright sun came out at midday and airmen were most active, the Brit ish aviators flying at very low alti- tudes and using their machine guns
