Double Dose.
Big Enemy Ammunition Dump at Can
tigny Is Fired by American
Artillery.

With the American Army in France.
A big enemy ammunition dump at
CantiGny was fired by the American
artillery. At the same time two fires
were started in Montdidier, followed
by numerous explosions.
The weather continues misty and
rainy. There was no infantry action
and only intermittent machine gun and
rifle fire. The position OF the Germans
is becoming more and more intolera-
BILE, while the Americans are entrench-
ing their positions more firmly: Any
hopes the enemy might have had Of
breaking through in this sector are di-
minishing.
The Americans take nothing for
granted, but return the enemy fire two
TO one which is believed to set a new
pace in this sector. What appears to
trouble the Germans most is that the
Americans never turn back when the
enemy uses gas. They give him a dou-
BILE dose Of the same, with everything
else the enemy tries.
Details of the fighting IN the Lune-
vile sector tell Of an encounter be-
tween American and German forces In
No Mans Land. Three American
snipers, dressed in camoutiage suits,
set out to discover nest OF sharp
shooters who had been operating with
much success and had killed one Amer
lean officer and one private. They
penetrated the enemy position and sud-
denly encountered number Of Ger
mans, with an officer, standing a few
feet away.
The Americans quickly opened fire
and killed the officer and three men
before they were obliged to withdraw.
During their return one man became
lost, and three scout officers and four
men returned In search of him. They
again penetrated the enemy position,
where they had another encounter
with the Germans without casualties
to the American side The missing
iran came in While the second party
was looking for him

German cavalry, say Russian adj

Bobrovori, and killed all Inhabitants
without distinction of age or sex.
Other villages also were burned when
the Cossacks refused to lodge and feed
the cavalrymen or take German paper
money in payment for supplies.
General Gaulois of the French gen.
eral staff has announced that informa-

men) between the La Bassee canat
and Ypres, or six men to every yard.
The same ratio, he SAID is maintained
by the, Germans between La Bassee
and the Oise.

Many British seamen who took part

Washington sees no hope Of early
counter offensive by allies, in view OF

that they will remain on defensive un-

reach France to turn the tide.
Allies recapture ground in Ypres

British press forward between the

HUN LOSES CITIZENSHIP
r. w. Wursterbarth, Former Post
master, Branded Enemy.
Federal Judge Thomas G. Haight De-
cides DlsIoyaI Hyphenates Can
Be Prosecuted.

Newark, N. J.-Frederlck W. Wurs-
tcrbarth, formerly postmaster of Lake
view, Passaic county, n. j., naturalized
81 years ago, no longer Is citizen OF
the United States. Instead he Is an
allen enemy, for Judge Thomas u.
IIalght In the United States District
Court at Newark revoked his natural
ization papers
The case is believed to have but one
| precedent Thirty or forty years ago
In the West similar action was taken.
Judge Haight, upon hearing evil
dence of Wursterbarth's disloyalty, de-
cIded that when the German took out
his naturalization papers and swore
that he renounced allegiance to the
kaiser he did not mean 1t, that his
heart still was loyal to the fatherland
and that the citizenship, therefore, was
obtained by fraud.
The case Is regarded as Of the ut
most Importance because 1t opens
path whereby the department Of JUS
lice can reach pro-Germans who have
been immune thus far from Intern
ment by reason Of their citizenship.
These legal Americans but real Ger
mans long have been regarded by
government agents as the most dam
gerous element in the United States.
Heretofore the speeches and beha-
vior of such hyphenates have been
watched with impOtent rage. They
went unscathed. Now it Is intimated
that similar actions may be Instituted
against the hundreds Of citizens-by-
law whose records have been compiled
end laid away by the Army and Navy
Intelligence Bureaus and United
States district attorneys and marshals
everywhere.
Wursterbarth once was a council
man Of Lakeview, besides being post
master until recently. He keeps a sta
tionery and candy store at 143 Crooks
avenue. that town. According to his
neighbors he refused to aid the Red
! Cross, Y. NJ. G. A. or the Liberty
Loans. He said, 1t was testified, that
he would not do anything to aid this
country's cause and that he did not
want to see America win the war.
When Wursterbarth had a hearing
recently before Judge Haight he heard
the government witnesses tell their
stories Of his alleged disloyalty. There
we're men and women among them,
nersons of undoubted responsibility.
| There was no explanation forthcoming
from either Wursterbarth or his coun-
sci, The latter did not put the accused
man on the stand.

London. -Hindenburg' war machine

both In Picardy and Flanders.
Slowly but steadily the gun1re al
along the front between the User and
the Disc, which comprises the area on
which the drive will be resumed, has
been increasing.
The renewal Of the German drive is
regarded almost as overdue. Military
consensus Is certain that this week
will see 1t. "All the news from the
west frontT' says the Evening News
Indicates that we are on the eve OF
great events. Our scouts know that
the enemy concentrations are nearing
completion"
The general theory is that the drive
against the Italians Is to synchronize
with the reopening Of the western bat,

again forced the enemy back slightly.

Of KENNEL, in the Ypres sector, the
French, In vigorous local fighting, re-

With the French advance In this im-
portant sector the allied armies car
ried forward what is apparently their
plan to outfank the German positions
there and make them untenable. The

Following up their capture Of Monte
Corno on Saturday, the Italian forces
In the mountains on the southwest
front stormed an enemy post on Cor
dell Orso and destroyed its garrison In
hand-to-hand fighting. Vienna claims
the recapture of Monte Corno.
Elsewhere between the Piave and
Brenta valleys the Italians repulsed
enemy reactions. The activity of Cen
eral Diaz's army appears to be "de-
fensive offensive" for the purpose Of
sealing the northern valley mouths
against the menace Of the promised
Austrian drives.
