SUMMARY OF THE WAR
(By Associated Press.)

Successful allied thrusts in local
actions have not yet drawn from the
enemy a resumption of his strong
offensive movements. but there is
little doubt that another German
blow is in the making. But for the
moment. at least. a IuII has come in
infantry activity on the western
front.
Germany's offensive begun on
March 21 is not completed and the
Germans have yet to win a stra-
logically vital point. Another strong
this year, has been awaited by the
allies for several weeks. General
Foch has employed the past week
or more successfully by improving
his positions at various points along
the main front. American, British,
and French troops helping in taking
valuable ground and more than five
thousand prisoners from the enemy.
Except north of Albert. where the
Germans regained some ground, the
enemy has not been successful in
counter attacks. In sew
eral instances no effort was made TO
disIodae the allies from their gains
along the Somn1e. north of the Aisne
INV SSS'"SS' b''e FH'~"S @"N @"S
Italian and American forces hold
strongly to the recent palne south
of the Somme and the French are
improving the ground recently taken
north of the Aisne. The strongest
enemy artillery fire is been directed
AGAINST other sectors than these,
namely southwest of Ypres and
south of the AisHe.
General Foch probably will con-
tinue to harass the enemy In minor
operations, but the belief is held by
some military observers that he
might surprise the German command
by striking in force at vital point.
artillery and aerial forces predomin-
ate over the same services on the
enemy side. In the past week Brit
ish airmen alone have accounted for
1e5 German machines while SO of
their own failed to return.
Fighting activity on the italian
front is becoming more general, but
IL is not very severe at any one
point. Near the mouth of the Piave
the Italians have gained further
ground and taken 400 prisoners. Be-
tween the 8renta and the Piave, on
the mountain front. the Italians have
made a slight advance and repuIsed
enemy efforts. Austrian attacks on
the Asiago plateau west of the Bren~
ia, were broken up by the italians.
Another American transport has
been sunk bV a German submarine
while returning from Europe. The
vessel, the CoVington, remained
afioat for several hours and only
six men are missing. The Covinq-
ton was a former German steamship
and measured 5000 tons.

the dead, as a result Of the sinla-
ing late last night of the excursion

steamer, placed the number at one
hundred.
A squad of policemen was sent
to the scene in an emergency as soon
as word Of the disaster was received.
Fred Miller on returning from there,
said they counted twenty bodies on
the upper deck alone. When they
reached the scene he said large

the boat, where the dance hall Is To-

came, and 1t was here that many

Divers appeared on the scene
shortly after o'clock this morning.
Because of the nature OF the wreck,
it was believed that a number OF days

Thirty two bodies had bcen re-

Among them were many children
