LONDON, March 21.- By employing masses of troops, supported by great weight of artillery, the Germans ap- pear to have penetrated the British front line at certain points between the Carpe and Vendeuil, says Reuters Limited, correspondent at British head quarters telegraphing this evening.
 "Our counter measures have not yet developed" the correspondent adds. Therefore it is difficult to define the position. Apparently the enemy's pur- pose has been to launch converging attacks upon tho two Hanks of the Flesquieres salient. in the hope of cut ting it off.
 There are unconfirmed rumors that the enemy has employed tanks"

ATTACK BIGGEST IN
 ENTIRE WAR so FAR

LONDON, March 21.-The German attack against the British lines to- day was on a larger scale than any made thus far during the war on any part of the western front, Andrew Bonar Law, spokesman of the gov ernment, told the house of commons today.
 "Our outpost troops,' he added, "have been withdrawn on one part of the line which was very lightly held.
 "This was nothing more than was expected, and was in accordance with instructions. There was nothing in about it."
 Warned a Week Ago
 MT. Bonar Law reminded the house that he had given warning a week ago that if such an attack occurred the attacking party would gain a certain amount of ground, and the governments information so far did not lead to the belief that anything beyond that had happened. T am sure that with the knowl- edge beforehand of what has hap pened in similar attacks on either side." continued MT. Bonar Law, ''the house and country will not be un- necessarily alarmed by information of that kind. Our staff and tho | Versailles council naturally have beer considering what might happen 1T l the event of an attack. And I may l tell the house that this attack ha: been launched on the very part U our line we were informed would b' attacked, if an attack were under taken at all.
 q may say that only three day ago we received information at tn cabinet from headquarters in Franc that they had definitely arrived a the conclusion that an attack woult be launched immediately and as the, were prepared to meet it, the countr. ] need have no cause for anxiety"

STEPHENS SURRENDERED
Governor of California Yielded to Mob
ClamOr in the Mooney
Case
ASSOCIATED Press)


Sacramento, Calf, Nov. 29.-Gov-
ernor Stephens last night commuted
Thomas J. Moneys death sentence
to life Imprisonment.
Threats of national strike in case
the governor did not interfere, had
been made in various parts Of the
country. The Judge had requested a
new trial for Mooney. In his state
ment announcing the Communication,
the governor said he had before him
the urgent appeal from the president
OF the United States to grant COM
mutation. Governor Stephens declar-
ed he refused to recognize the case in
any fashion as representing a clash
between labor and capital, character
lied as absurd the propaganda that
it would make Mooney appear as a
martyr to the cause Of labor. In sup
port of his statement he quoted a let
ter from Alexander Berkman outlin-
ing the plan afterwards adopted for
the Mooney campaign.
Mooney was sentenced to be hanged
on December 18th, for the death of
ten persons killed by a bomb explo-
sion in San Francisco during the Pre-
paredness day parade on July 10Th.
The courts action to save Mooney
from the gallows was exhausted when

REPUBLIC OF THE RHINE
Best Part of Germany May Set Up
for Itself

London, Nov. 29.-Ihe Well-dehned
separatist movement in the Rhineland
has become an outstanding feature of
the German situation.
The Daily News Rotterdam cor
respondent quotes Cologne telegram
to Vorwaerts which says that the
question of separation from the en-
pire and the formation of a distinct
state has become, complete plan,
"and it is thought that Germany and
the world may even tomorrow be
presented fait accompli."
Vorwaerts says that large num-
ber of people probably hope for more
favorable peace terms to an inde-
pendent Rhineland. The fear of harsh
anti-clerical legislation mostly in
clines the clericals toward separation,
"but," adds Vorwaerts, "Bolshevism
stands in the foreground of the agita-
ton. Freedom from Berlin is now the
cry in the Rhineland.
"The frontiers of the proposed new
state are not yet fixed, but it is in
tended that they shall include the
whole industrial region. To the
south, union will be sought with the
Rhine Palatinate and Hesse Already
well-known economists have exam
ined the economic possibilities of the
proposed new republic and are said to
have reported favorably.

separation as an almost unavoidable

BILE speed"
The Berliner Tageblatt, in an ap-
peal for constituent assembly, says
cat @he present moment Germany
is gravely threatened from within
and from all sides. There is obviously
in France desire to exploit Ger
many's defenseless to the utmost and
continue the war in order to realize
plans of conquest for which the
French nationalists have long beer
tagitating.
"On the pretext that Germany has
not fulfilled the impossible armistice
terms to the letter, they wish to pro.
claim the recommencement of the
war and finally to annex the left bank
of the Rhine, which now under the
terms of the armistice is only tenn
porarily occupied. All reports show
that attempts will be made to wiz
over the people in the occupied ter
ritories to separation. Should Presi
dent Wilson not support such polio,

be used-the formation of buffer

ENGLISH NO LONGER EASY
Will Make Turks Rue the Day They
Joined Hands With the
WarlOrds
New York Times)

Constantinople, Nov. 23.-The
Turks are beginning to feel the iron
hand inside the velvet glove, and it is
hurting them little. Turkish offic-
ials and the press are full of conster-
nation because the Allies found it
necessary to occupy certain barracks
around Constantinople, as depots for
garrisoning the Bosphorus forts.
They even show chagrin at the land
ing today of 400 men of Middlesex
regiment as an embassy guard.
"We thought said a high official
at the Sublime Porte to me today,
"that the Allies were coming here as
friends, not as conquerors. But we
see troops constantly landing in Con-
stantinople, while the French seized
Alexandretta and the British occupied
Mosul."
There is no doubt that the Turks
counted a good deal, when they sign
ed the armistice, upon the traditional
easy-going amiability of the English,
which has often let them down gently
in the past.
Allied Fleet Welcomed
There are fifty British, French and
Italian battleships, cruisers and de-
stroyers in the allied squadron which
is anchored in the Bosphorus. The
newspapers and the population -ac-
claimed the allied squadron as deliv-
erers.
The headquarters of the British
and French contingents have been es.
tablished in Constantinople. A Brit.
ish aerial force is on. the outskirts OF
the city.
One thousand Germans and Aus
TRANS, including Geenral Liman vor
Sanders, German commander in the
Turkish army, who fled from Damas
Gus and Aleppo, remain in Constan
tinople and the neighborhood. Then
exit across the Black Sea has been cut
off by the Rumanians and by the dis.
orders in Odessa.

London, Nov. 29.-Opinion in Eng

done in France, with regard to the
the armistice and create an atmos-

The situation in both Germany and

side for the associated powers. Boil

throughout the former Central En-

ment grows.

"The peoples which a month ago
composed the Central Empires are the
debtors of the associated powers. Res.
titution and reparation must be
sought from them on colossal scale
1t is out of the question that Belgium
and France should be left to repair
unaided the monstrous wrongs infiict-
ed on them by the German nation
simply because the Hohenzollerns
have gone out of business, nor can
Great Britain forgo satisfaction OF
her claims in regard to her illegally
torpedoed merchantmen. To do sc
would be in effect to legalize sea

cupy Germany ourselves for an in
definite period until the difficulties are
