STOREHOUSE FIRE
IN new haven IS
+. DELAYING TRAINS

Fire which broke out at 1z:lo
o'clock this afternoon in storage
supply house of the New Haven rail-
roads yards, in New Haven, was the
cause of a general hold-up of traffic
over the main line. At o'clock the
blaze was still raging, and the amount
of damage could not be estimated.
The origin of the flames is un-
known.
The building burning this afternoon
is a one story wooden structure 100
by so feet. 1t was used as store
house for equipment, and was erect
ed on the site of similar structure
which was destroyed by fire. two
years ago.
Early this afternoon the firemen
were fighting the flames with great
yigor, and traffic on the main line,
although considerably hampered
was not stopped entirely. 1t was said
in New Haven that main line trains
would not be held up completely un-
less the fire spread in the direction
of the tracks.
The storehouse was located in the
railroad yards just west Of the pas
senger station which was burned te
the ground yesterday.

HARD FIGHTING STILL
PROGRESSES ON Line
IN FLANDERS region
TWO ENEMY DIVISIONS IN ATTACK WHICH
NETTED SMALL GAIN ARE PUNISHED S
SEVERELY - GROUND RETAKEN
IN COUNTER ATTACK

Heavy fighting, although on
a comparatively narrow front,
is continuing in Flanders,
where the Germans began yes
terday another attempt to drive
a wedge into the Entente lines
and outflank the hill positions
southwest of Ypres.
This attempt failed and only
a temporary success was OBJ
tanned by the enemy in gaining
a foothold in the Allied front
line at points between Voor-
mezeele and La Clytte.
Last night the British and French
drove back sharply at the Germans
and ousted them from the small bits
of territory they had won. Heavy
casualties were inflicted on the two
German divisions which were engag-
ed in this operation.
the Germans seem reluctant to aban-
don the effort and this morning found
them renewing the attack to the north
of KENNEL in the Vierstraet region
A heavy machine gun fire forced the
British line back at one point, but the
recession was a slight one and the
ground remained disputed territory.
The fighting was continuing here when
the day report from British headquar-
ters was dispatched.
| The British are continuing to Inn
prove their positions in the Somnne
region on the high ground between
the Somme and the Apcre. Further
progress was made there during the
night. There was local fighting in
the Bucquoy region.
Seemingly the Germans are attack
ing in the hope Of driving the Allies
back toward the Kemmelbeek river
and its branches or beyond Poperinghe
and thus outfank the heights running
west from Mont KENNEL. Very heavy
losses were inflicted on the enemy in
his previous strong effort to penetrate
this line and the line about Locre and
its adjoining hills It may be that the
effort elsewhere, although to break
through the Vormezeele-Locre line
might be of marked advantage to the
enemy.
Elsewhere in Flanders and in Pic
ardy the infantry has been inactive.
The big guns, however, are roaring
without cessation, especially north and
south of the Avre, east of Amiens.
Aerial fighting is most active and In
l.big air battle near Dousi, British avi-
ators brought down eight of the enemy
without any losses. Four more Ger
man machines were brought down at
other points.
Bad weather prevails on the Ameri-
can sectors in France. Northwest OF
TouI an American patrol has been
ambushed by the Germans. In this
sector also American heavy artillery
has been in action for the first time.

Asquith said he thought it was not
the business of parliament to con-
stantly inquire into the conduct of sue
cessive phases of the war. The house
of commons, he added. had more tnan
enough of such inquiries already.
London, May 9.
Asquith denied that his motion re-
specting the Maurice affair was de-
signed to obtain vote of censure OF
the government, saying it was absurd
to describe it as such. Should he md
it his duty to censure the government
he said. he hoped that he would have
the courage to do so in direct and
unequivocal form.
Premier Lloyd-George was cheered
loudly when he arose to speak. He
said he had been treated unfairly. II
was the business of Gen. Maurice to
come to the cabinet and point out
where the minister had made mis-
takes, he declared.

them and that their labor counts for
so much at the present time to our
men in France. 1t promises speedy
action in the matter of wage in
crease and concludes by calling upon
loyal workmen to stick to their tasks
pending an adjustment.
Another important phase in the sit
uation was created when John j.
O'Neil, state organizer of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, said in most
emphatic terms that no assistance
will be given by other unions af11liat-
ed with the American Federation of
Labor, unless it is proven the strike
of the machinists in Bridgeport has
been indorsed by the international
Association of Machinists through
the executive body in Washington.
O'Neil said also that if the consti-
| tutionaIity of the new law forbiddins
| persons to remain out of employment
is sustained by the courts, the police
| will force men needed in the military
establishment of the United State
back into occupations essential to tht
