been loaded with the same tonnage as
in the same month last year the traf-

sHIPYARD TO COST 4OMILLION
tee of Hog Island Estimates
May Go Still Higher.

Washington, March 28.-TotaI cost
to the government for constructing
the shipyard at Hog Island, Pa. where
12O fabricated steel ships are to be
built under the agency contract plan,
will be between 80 million and 40 mil
lion dollars, the Senate commerce
committee was told today by John r.
Freeman of Providence, R. l., an ex-
pert naval architect, brought here to
testify by the contractors.
This sum includes only the yard

consideration any work on ship con-
struction.
An original estimate was made at
81 million dollars, but officials of the
international Corporation estimated it
would be much more than that.

aHorizon RIueH

Our khaki suites are good. But
Horizon blue" the color which the
French use for their uniforms, is said
to be better still, according TO the Pop
ular Science Monthly.
Against certain backgrounds it Is
altogether invisible from a distance.
The reason for this is that it is the
color of distance An artist painting
a landscape puts his objects back
by washing them over with q mixture
Of white and blue, the horizon blus.
This makes it appear as if there were
air between the objects and our eyes,
so that the objects themselves appear
indistinct.
The uniforms OF horizon blue make
the wearers appear, if not actually a
part Of the landscape, at least con-
siderably farther away than they are
And since q man is recognized by his
shape rather than by his color, the
blending Of his clothes with the color
OF the horizon helps his cemoudage
considerably.

SENATE DEPLORES
AMERICAN DELAY
Both Democrats and Republic
ans Concerned Over War
Situation in France.
BELIEVE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW
Johnson of California Says Publicity
is the Only cure-AirpIane Pro-
gram Strongly Criticised.

Washington, March 27.-Another
storm of criticism of Americas war
efforts broke in the Senate today.
Democrats and Republicans, concern
ed over the German drive against
France and spurred by statements Of
Major General Leonard Wood before
the military committee yesterday on
inefficiencies OF American prepare
ton, joined in deploring the shortage
of ships, airplanes and artillery.
Senator Thomas of Colorado, Demo
crat, opened the debate with an at
tack on the fuel administration, which
he asserted was curtailing production.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Re-
publican, referred to what he called a
wasted year and declared that the
truth should be told the American peo-
pie about the war situation.
No Planes in France.
After spending $4,000, 900 on the
aviation program, he declared, I'VE
have not fighting plane in France, %
General Pershing's men are without
American artillery and only two Amer
lean ships have been turned out by
the shipping board.
Senator New of Indiana, Republican,
said although the original aviation
program called for delivery Of 10000
airpIanes July 1, only thirty-seVen
will be delivered under present esti-
mates.
Publicity Is Advised.
When he repeated General Woods
statement that German aviators fly
at times over the American trenches
in France, Senator Johnson Of Cali,
fornia interrupted to say:
There is just one way to correct
this outrage on American youth, and
that is through 'pitiless publicity
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, q
Democrat of the military committee
said the aviation program is at least
ninety days behind, under new cur
tailed estimates. The number of air
planes estimated for delivery July l.
"ridicu1ous1y small" he said-is about
one-tenth of that originally planned.
This situation was characterized bJ
Senator Poindexter Of Washington
Republican, as "a scandal to the en-
tire world"

British, French and American troops

March 27.-The Germans today fol-
lowed up their progress of yesterday
at Nesle, on the southern battle front,
by launching a terrific assault against
the British along a line running,
roughly, between Hattencourt and the
region of Roye.
The British, cooperating with their
French allies, were meeting the on
slaught doggedly and CALAMITY and a
sanguinary struggle was in progress
this afternoon.
Further north the enemy also devel-
oped a fresh offensive movement, to
the south of Suzanne, which lies a
little northeast of Bray-sur-Somme.
But the Germans were pushing with
less strength here than in the south
ern theater, possibly for strategical
reasons.
These two sectors were the scene
of the most important operations to-
day, although fighting was in progress

NEW LOAN is S3,OOO;OOO,OO0
Next Issue of Liberty Bonds viii
Craw Interest at AZ Per Cent,
McAdoo Says.

Washington, March 26.-Secretary
McAdoo announced tonight that the
amount OF the third Liberty Loan
would be billion dollars, at AZ per
cent, and that all oversubscription
would be accepted.
The new bonds will be nonconvert-
ible, but bonds of the first and second
Liberty Loans may be converted into
the new AZ per cent securities.
Authority to issue $500 million dol
lars in bonds in addition to the 1866
million dollars already authorized and
unissued is proposed in new loan leg
islation prepared for submission to
Congress so that the total amount
which may be issued is 8,166 million
dollars.
Congress will be asked for author
ity to make additional loans to the Al
lies during the coming summer. The
decision to make the new bonds in
convertible, the secretary announced,
was reached in order to put an end to
the expectation of higher interest
rates.
Mr.. McAdoo said expenditures of the
United States and the allied govern
ments had been much below estimates
and that consequently it was not nee
essary to make the loan larger than
billion dollars.
Secretary McAdoo issued this state
ment:
''The Secretary OF the Treasury, in
a conference with Mr. Kitchin, chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee, today outlined his plan for the
third Liberty Loan. Actual expendi-
lures of the United States government
and of the allied governments having
been much less than had been indi-
Gated by the estimates, the amount of
the next loan will be only billion
dollars, the right being reserved to
allot over subscriptions.
1.-THE secretary will ask authority
from Congress to issue bonds bearing
interest at the rate of Az per cent per
| annum, acceptable at par and accrued
interest in United States inheritance
| taxes, and having the benefit Of a
sinking fund Of per cent per annum
| during the period of the war and for
| one year thereafter"

German Forces Yield Ground
at Several Points North
of the Somme.
BIG DRIVE SPENDS ITS FORCE
Marked Slowing Down Shown in On
sIaughts of Hun Infantry-AIlies
Are More Confident.

Washington, March 28.-Approxi-
mately 1000 of the million Germans
thrown into the Kaiser's titanic often
sive are dead, wounded or captured
and the remainder are wavering IN
der the whitening fire of the Allies.
This, in brief, reveals the develop
ments on the firing line in France on
the seventh day of the great battle.
The Germans are undoubtedly feel
ing the strain Of the struggle and
their power is waning from the effects
of shell fire and hard usage.
While the town of Albert has been
captured from the British and west
of Roye the French have been COM
PEELED to give ground in the face of
greatly superior numbers, the British
have repulsed heavy attacks, both
north and south of the Somme and
also driven back across the Ancre
river the Germans who forded the
stream Wednesday.
Hard Fighting Continues.
Sanguinary fighting continues on
all these sectors, but everywhere the
British and French are holding the
enemy. Especially severe has been
the fighting west of Albert, where the
Germans, in an endeavor to debouch
westward, were repulsed by Field
Marshal Haig's men with the heaviest
casualties.
The British gains between the
Somme and Ancre regions are repre-
scented by the recapture of the towns
OF Morlanecourt and Chipilly. South
of the Somme they have advanced to
Proyart, which lies to the south of
Bray
British Hold Line.
London, March 28-Tonight's news
from the battle front confirms the
hopeful impression formed early in
the day that the British now appear
to be on a line they are able to hold
firmly, at least on the Somme and the
Ancre rivers.
Further south, in the Roye-Noyon
region the situation is less well de-
fined, but it is stated both the French
and British are bringing up reserves
there. The correspondents also are
showing greater confidence the enemy
will be held on this terrain.
The German official communication
Of tonight was significantly brief and
reserved. 1t reports the crossing of
the Ancre, but only refers to Tues
days events while the British war of
flee statement shows that the Ger
mans who had crossed that stream
were thrown back today in counter
attacks.

Huns Still Gain.
Washington, March 26-Battling for
every point Of vantage, giving ground
only when overwhelmed by numbers
and exacting frightful toll OF lives
for every foot of ground abandoned,
the British line in Picardy is still in
tact While the German onslaught
gained ground at a number of points
on Monday, there was no sign of dis
indignation in the British forces,
which at many points, especially on
the northern end of the long line of
battle, are standing firm
The German official reports tell of
the defeat of the British and their
retreat via Ypres and Sally" This
would seem to indicate heavy fighting
far to the north Of the Somme battle
field, of which no British report has
spoken. There is, however, a town
called Sally south of Bapaume and
eastward of this place is a town
known as Ytres. 1t is probable that
these were the points referred to in
the statement from Berlin.
Nesie and Guiscard Fall.
The largest gains made by The Ger
mans have been west of St. Quentin.
where they have captured Nesle and
Guiscard. These points which are at
more than ten miles from the front
as it stood March 81
Military observers discern in the
scheme of the German attack a repe-
tition of the German ''pincer'' system
of attack, which was used by Won
Mackensen in Russia, Rumania and
Serbia This attack consists OF two
attacks some distance apart, which
after progressing to some depth, turn
toward each other, compelling the
forces caught between them to fall
back OF be in danger Of capture
Danger Is Foreseen.
The British have foreseen this dan
ger and have met it by first checking,
then forcing the northern jaw of the
pincer southwark while they have
dropped back on the center and have
not fallen into the German trap. The
pressure of the defenders of the
Somme front seems to be bending the
whole German attack to the south,
where it is hoped its force will be
dissipated.
The French positions joined the
British to the south of St. Quentin
but there have been no reports show
ing that the French have fallen back
from their advanced positions; on the
other hand, reports would indicate
that the original French lines now vir
tua1ly outflank the advancing Ger
mans along the Disc river.
''In the meantime the British STRAIT
egg seems to be devoted to the tasE
OF meeting the attack so that it is df
rected no longer straight at the line
but is diverted toward the Disc
where the German advance has been
most rapid"
