AlSuS JINcAG.
The great German military machine
Is in full motion along the twenty
mile front in tie Aisne river. sec,or
between Vailly and Berry-au-Bac, and,
greatly ou~tnumbered, the British and
French everywhere are giving ground.
The Germans advanced in waves,
pounding their way with machine
guns, tanks and using gases freely.
According to the German official
communications. numerous towns and
villages in the fighting zone have been
taken by the enemy and $4,000 allied
troops already have been made pris-
Oner.
AT last accounts the Germans were
e~ndeavoring to press back the defend
ers upon the Vesle river, which runs
parallel with the Aisne, and at sew
eral points had reached positions DOM
mating the Vesle valley.
The offensive is being carried out
with the greatest rapidity, for the
German high command evidently is
well aware of the fact that Gen.
Foch's reserves have been reported to
be coming up rapidly to reinforce the
British and French, who are fighting
valiantly against the terrible odds,
and making wave upon wave of the
enemy pay dearly in casualties for
every foot of grouI.d they obtain.
Notwithstanding the rapidly Of the
drive and the large number of the en-
envy pressing it-some unofficial esti-
mates place the number of shock
troops alone at twenty five divisions,
or about 100000 picked men-the al
lied front nowhere has been pierced.
but under the onslaughts has been
bent back In perfect liaison and all the
time giving battle. With such preci-
sion has the retirement been conduct
ed that both the British and French
troops have been able to carry back
with them all Of their supplies and
guns or to destroy those they were not
able to handle.
Southwest Of Ypres the enemy re-
ceived hard usage at the hands of the
British and French east Of Dicke-
busch lake, where Monday the Ger
mans In an attack had gained ground.
Most valuable work has been done
by the allied airmen all along the
line. Not only have the allied com
manders kept in close contact with
what the Germans were doing, but
many tons of bombs have been thrown
on the advancing infantry. Official re-
ports show a great number of German
planes were brought down in the
fighting.

LAWYER WHO SUED FOR
LOST LOVE IS IN T0MBs
CAHEN is ACCUSED OF GETTING
1925 FROM WIDOW WOMAN UN-
DER FALSE PRETENSES- PRIS-
ONER OVER SIXTY.

NEW YORK, April 0.-Lopis Cohen,
q lawyer of No. 343 Broadway, was
arrested and committed to Tombs last
night, to await extradition to New Jer-
sey on a charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. According to
Detective Edward L. Brennan, of Nor
ris county, n j., who, with Detective
Kane from the New York central office
made the arrest, the prisoner is ac-
cused by his foremr washerwoman of
accepting 1925 to get her twenty year
old boy out of the Railway, N. ]. re-
fcrmatory.
Cohen has figured conspicuously in
the news of late He is suing Mrs.
Caroline Lewis, widow, for $4,000
for breach of promise. He filed suit
also this month against the Hotel
Astor asking 100000 damages be-
cause of Incidents arising subsequent
to his escorting woman guest to her
room in the hotel.
For some. months prior to October.
1917, Cohen lived in Dockaway, N. j..
He sent his laundry to Mrs. Augusta
Cook, of Denville, N. j., two miles
away Mrs Cooks son was commit
ted to the reformatory.
Then, she complains to the authori
ties, Cohen offered to obtain his re-
lease. For the promised aid, she was
to reimburse him and this she did to
the amount, she says, of 1925. The
money, she says. was paid in several
installments. The boy was not re-
leased and so the laundress sought
redress.
Cohen, who is over sixty-six years
old, lives with his wife at No. 256 West
9th street.

To the voter of the Southwestern
Judicial Circuit:
l beg leave to announce my candi-
dacy for Office of Solicitor General, in
September primary.
If elected I shall perform. with cour-
age and fidelity the duties fixed by
law upon the holder of this Office.
My conception is that there can be
such policy of it's administration, as
that the Office will stand as a menace
to wrong-doing, and as well, a posi-
tive aid and encouragement to con-
structive good and peace to the coun-
ties of the circuit.
Every effort will be made to make
practical realization of this concep-
ton.
Opportunity for extended service is
the strongest reason for this decision
Will sincerely appreciate and try
hard to justify any confidence an in
terest shown in my race.
Respectfully.

rs SHAME TO CALL
SUCH MEN STACKER !"

WASHINGTON April 50.-Repre-
sentative Britten, Republican, of Illi-
nois, defended the use at Washington
of reserve officers in various staff
corps of the army and navy. Mr..
Britten said it was shame to call
such slackers.
Some members seem to forget"
he went on, that the reserve officers
are doing the most important work
OF the war-the maintaining of a line
OF communication 5000 miles across
the Atlantic They are doing the same
work here that is being done for Eng
land in London and for France in Paris
and by the staff officers behind the
trenches who are maintaining the lines
CT mmunication over there.
If the men who are doing staff
drty in Washington are to be called
slackers, bomb-proof officers, slickers,
and SO on, whether young or old, the
administrative machinery of the War
Department will fail No one will
want to be part of the ordinance or
Quartermaster corps because of the
stigma so enormously applied"

NEGROES SUBSCRIBE
LITERALLY To BONDS

ATLANTA, Ga, April 30-The great
number of negroes who have sub
scribed to the Third Liberty Loan has
attracted the particular attention OF
the Liberty Loan committee of the
Sixth Federal reserve district since the
sLecial relic train has been touring the
territory.
In The last report from Train No. l
at Wrightsville, Ga, the chairman an
nounced that of the several hundred
subscriptions taken, over one-half were
taken by the negro population.
The colored people are solidly back
of the government in the war, and they
are proud of the opportunity to nave
a definite share in the burdens and
responsibilities of the war.
The unusual prosperity among col
ored farmers for the past season has
left many of them with good SURPRISES
on hand; and almost without exception
they are willing and glad to invest it
in Liberty bonds.
The total amount of the negro sales
is. of course, smaller than that of
the whites The average subscription
is around a hundred dollars, with some
going as high as five hundred, and the
majority being fifty dollar bonds.

WILSON GETS CASES
OF 4 DOOMED TO DIE

WASHINGTON, April 30.-Whether
Oh not the four soldiers with the ex-
peditionary forces of Gen. Pershing
il France, who are under sentence of
death for violations of the Articles of
War, shall pay the penalty imposed
rests with President Wilson Two Of
these soldiers were found guilty of be-
ing asleep on sentinel duty at ad-
vanced posts, while two others were
conYiced for disobedience to drill or
ders They were convicted by court
martial in France and Gen. Pershing
approved the action of the court.
The papers in the case were sent
to the War Department for review
by the officers of the Judge Advocate
Generals Office in order to determine
whether or not there had been any
miscarriage of justice. They were
then placed in the hand of the secre-
tary of war, who has turned them over
to the president for final action.
These are the first cases of the kind
with which the president has had to
deal since the United States entered
the war. The names of the condemned
soldiers have not been made public
ard it is said that even their relatives
are not aware OF their predicament.

EAGER INVENTOR
Of TRENCH RIFLE
CONSULTING ENGINEER OF THE
AMERICUS LIGHTING COMPANY
HAS HIS INVENTION in DAILY
USE IN FRANCE.

VALDOSTA, Ga, April 3O.-A new
army weapon which is now being used
with great effectiveness by the Amer
lean expeditionary forces in France.
was suggested by W. G. Eager, OF
yaldosta, who submitted the idea to the
war department last October. Mr..
Fagers' design and its investigation
by the war department were kept Sc
cret for some time, but now that the
guns are being turned out and for
warded to the men on the firing line in
large quantities, the New York papers
are devoting considerable space to de-
scriptions of the weapon and the ex-
cellent work it is capable of doing.
The new weapon is termed a
trench shotgun" of the automatic or
pump variety, capable of sending "a
steel 90 buckshot through 2-inch
board at distance of $50 yards, and
is pronounced the greatest weapon
for trench or short-range fighting yet
designed.
Mr.. Eager last fall prepared a
brochure entitled use of Automatic
Shotgun in Shock Action" embody'
ing the principles and use of the
weapon, which he submitted to the
department The idea seems to have
met with immediate favor, for under
date of November 5, 1917, Mr. Eager
had communication from Adjutant
General Wilson, in which, after re-
ferring again tot the brochure pre-
pared by Mr. Eager, the adjutant
general said: 81 have to inform you,
as per your request, that shotguns
will shortly become an article of issue
for use in trench warfare. This in
formation should be considered conf
Dental"
The New York Sun. which appears
to have been the first newspaper to
give publicity to the new gun, as
cribes the idea to General Pershing,
but the letters Mr.. Eager has from
the war department, and the excerpt
from the communication of Adjutant
General Wilson, which appears above,
clearly shows that the idea originated
with Mr.. Eager.
The suggestion was submitted to
General Pershing, however, before its
adoption, as under date of Octo-
Der, 10, 1917, the adjutant general
wrote Mr. Eager that his work had
been re- oived by the department. and
the brochure has been referred to

The gun and stout bayonet which it
carries weighs only 8 ga pounds.
The weapon holds six shells, each
loaded with 90 buckshot and
sprays an area by feet. The bay
cret is mounted for strength on an
extra ventilated barrel, which fits
over the regular barrel and prevents
the gun becoming quickly heated
from rapid firing.
