BERLIN, April 25.-(Via Lon don)-The official statement issued by the war office today reads:
 "On the Lys battlefield strong French counter attack against the height of VIuegelhoek failed with heavy losses. There were local en- agreements to the northwest of Be- thune, near Festubert and on both sides Of the Scarpe.
 ''In the Somme sector we at tackled the English and French near and to the south of Villers- Breton neux. By means of hard fighting our infantry broke it's way to the enemy's machine gun nests. Tanks effectively supported them during this action. We captured the much contested town of Hangard.
 "On the western bank of the Avre we advanced our line to the heights northwest of Castel. Throughout the day the enemy de- livered violent counter attacks with his reserves which had been kept in readiness on the battlefield and which came hastily forward from the rear. They broke down with sanguinary losses. Bitter engage ments lasted throughout the night in the captured region. More than two thousand prisoners remained in our hands and four cannon and numerous machine guns also were taken.

AriSOna Boys Off for Camp
 This EVening

Arrangements for a farewell to the 6s Maricopa county and the IS PinaI county men who will leave Phoenix this afternoon for Camp Funston, were completed yesterday afternoon by a committee named by the Chamber of Commerce. The committee is A. A. Betts, chair man; w. w. Lawhon, secretary; Donald Dunbar, treasurer: C. V. GuIley and Webb Griffin.
 The local board has notified the registrants to appear at the office of the board at o'clock this after noon for final orders before en- training. This will require not more than one hour at the longest, it is stated. The committee requests that the boys appear at the city hall plaza at o'clock. The Indian school band will furnish music and Judge Ernest Lewis and Judge George J. Stoneman will make short talks. Rev. E. T. Pomeroy of Mesa will deliver prayer.
 The bows will then be escorted to the Arizona Eastern station where they will be presented with box lunches and also with a package containing two pairs of hand knit socks, two handkerchiefs, one package of smoking tobacco, to which the committee has added can of smoking tobacco, a book of cigarette papers and corncob pipe.
 At the station there will be a space roped off for the exclusive use of the departing soldiers, their relatives and friends. This space will be guarded by members of the police reserves.
 The committee announces that the $500 which was collected some six months ago to be used in ex- penses in farewells for soldiers, has been exhausted. The committee yesterday spent some time in rais- ing money about town toward fund for today's farewell and for future occasions of the kind. The response they say, was very good, but the entire amount was not raised yesterday and the commit tee will make further effort next week.

 LONDON, April 25,-AustraIan and English troops have recaPeured ViIlers- Eretonneux and taken more than 600 prisoners in that region, Field Marshal Haig reports from headquarters tonight.
 Further to the north on a line from BaiIIeuI to Wytschaete there has been very heavy fighting and the allied troops were obliged to withdraw from their positions.
 The statement says:
 "The French and British posi- tions from north of BaiIleuI to east of Wytschaete have been heavily attacked all day. There was fight ing of great severity on the whole of this front, particularly in the neighborhood of Dranoutre, kem- mel and Vierstraat.
 "In the course of repeated at tacks and counter attacks the allied troops have been compelled to withdraw from the positions they held this morning, and the fighting continues.
 South Of the Somme several counter attacks launched by Aus tralian and English troops last night against the positions gained by the enemy yesterday in and around ViIlers Bretonneux carried our line onward to within a short distance of our former front and resulted in the capture of more than 600 prisoners. The village now is in our hands"
 The enemy's attack yesterday morning on this front was made by at least four divisions and his ob- jectivss are stated by prisoners to have included the village of Cachy and the Cachy Fouller wood. These objectives were not reached at any point. The numberof German dead found in the positions recaptured by our troops show that the enc my's losses were very heavy"

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, April 25.-(By the Asso- ciated Pres )-Success in the southern sector of the battle front and a lohg, fierce struggle in the north have fal- len to the lot of the allied arms in the contest for vital positions which the Germans have been trying at heavy cost of life to secure. The latest information from the south is that Villers- Bretonneux apparently has been retaken as a result of brilliant British counter attack, and not only has the town been virtually cleared of the enemy, but large portion of the original positions north and south of it have been reclaimed German dead are heaped about the unhappy town and some TOO prisoners are in British camps.
 Attack Mount kemme
 In the north, Mont Kemmel has been attacked desperately by a great force of German troops especially trained for mountain warfare. The attempt on Mont Kemmel is another move in the Germans obvious scheme to get control of chain of hills run ming east to west in this sector and including such elevations as Wyts- chaete, Kemmel, Scherpenberg.

CHURCHILL TELLS IF SUPPLIES GONE
 IN DRIVE OF HUNS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON. April 25.-Winston Spen- cer Churchill, introducing in the house of commons today the estimates for the ministry of munitions, of which he is the head, said that during the five weeks since the battle in France had begun they had been passing througS the greatest strain regarding the sup ply of war material that had occurred in the experience of the ministry.
 Not only had, the consumption and destruction of munitions of all kinds been proceeding at the greatest rate, but there also were very heavy losses by capture by the enemy.
 Tells of Supplies Lost
 "We lost" the minister said. nearly 1000 guns by a shell fire or capture; between 4,000 and 1000 machine guns have been lost or destroyed and the quantity of ammunition, apart from that which has been fired and that which has been lost in the dumps amounted to something between one and three weeks total of manufacture
 "Other war materials have been used or lost on a similar scale, but by the end of last week all the losses had been made good and in many cases more than made good.
 Vast Quantities Small Arms
 Vast quantities of small arm am munition have been lost or left behind but, great as the demand has been, the expenditure in the last month did not exceed the maximum potential ca pacity of the British factories. without touching enormous reserves, which had accumulated against such a contin- gency.
 Our preparations had contemplated period of supreme battle intensity | from the third week of February in stead of from the third week of March. so we are at present from one to three weeks to the good.
 No Danger of Shortage Tn fact barring unforeseen circum- 1 stances, our supply of munitions would | enable us to carry on a battle at inc supreme pitch of intensity until winter without compromising our reuuirement for 1919. This is despite the fact that a hundred thousand men were taken from the munition factories for service | in the army.
 We are making in single week more airplanes than we made in the whole of 1914; in single month more than we made in the whole of 1915: in three months more than we made in the whole of 1916. And we are going to make this year several times what we made last year.
 Referring to the German war minis ter's claim to the capture of more than twice the number of guns than he had announced Mir. Churchill said the Ger i man claim was a grotesque exagger- alton and untrue.

Republican A. p. Leased WireJ WASHINGTON, April 25.-Critics of inc Overman bill renewed today their vigorous opposition to its proposed au thority for the president to re-orsan1zc government agencies and many speeches for and against the measure prevented the expected vote on pend ing restrictive amendments. A sur 'isc of the day was the introduction Of a new amendment authorizing the president Co appoint a single executive officer to control the aircraft program, which Senator Overman stated he probably would accept
 Republican Sponsors Plan
 Senator Wadsworth of New York re- publican, offered the new proposal. Senator Thomas of Colorado and Kirby of Arkansas. democratic members of the military committee, promptly sup ported it, the former declaring it was necessary tO clothe John D. Ryan, yes terday appointed director of aircraft production for the war department, with necessary powers to make his work effective.
 Attacks and Defense
 During today's dcbMe under the agreement limiting speeches to half an hour attacks on the bill were made by Senators Knox of Pennsylvania,
 
 Connecticut, republicans, while it was supported by Senator Fall of New Mex ico, republican, and Senators 'Shafroth of Colorado, Kirby of Arkansas, Over nan of North Carolina and other dem Ocrats.
 Poor Judge of Men"
 Senator Brandegee opposing any fur ther grant of power, declared the pres ident is a poor judge of men, has made "egregius mistakes and is responsible for his appointees' failure to co-ordi- nate. The senator also charged con Gress with lacking courage to oppose the presidents policies. He added that he would not be Hike a white poodle running between the capitol and White House obeying orders.' Senator Sher- man referred to appointees being square pegs in round holes and de- clared the president should 'learn more about human pegs"
 Baker "Pacifist Peg"
 In selecting Secretary Baker, he said Inc president 'got hold of @ pacifist peg and damned it into the muzzle of u war hole."
 Senator Knox read letters of the president written several months ago disappearing proposals for government reorganization. He declared the pres ident had done great things in con- Herring authority on Bernard M. Bar uck, Chas. M Schwab and J. D. Ryan without executive authority, and that the administration demands for the Overman bill belittled the president
 No Cries From Home
 Senator Knox said he had received no requests from his constituency urging him to ''scuttle the constitutional con- structon of our government" by vot- ing for this measure.
 Senator Fall of New Mexico, repub- lican. spoke for the measure.
 This is a bill to fix executive re- sponsibility," he said, "and though agree that the powers it grants are not necessary, | want the untruth of the statement that congress is hampering ,he president brought home every where. as well as in this chamber

 Notwithstanding the frantic preparations made by the Germans for a continuance of their drive toward Amens and the extreme violence of the fighting their gains thus far in that region have been very small Along the line from Albert south to Caste except at Hangard en-Santerre the German assaults have been hurled back by the allied forces which strongly posted on the higher ground to which they retired during the last days of the German drive in Picardy.
 Germans Using 5000O Men at Ypres
 It is unofficialy reported that four to six German divisions from 48000 to 72000 men have been hurled at the British and French lines Ypres The retire. ment of the British this sector must have been small for there great gains reported by Berlin far It rlmored Thursday that Mont Kemnel dominating height north of Wuverghem had been taken by the enemy but this has not been confirmed
 Gains Made Are Slight Ones
 That only slight gains have been made anywhere along the two fronts which have been subjected to attack is proof that the allies prepared to defend their posi- tons In the last three weeks the Germans have hurried up heavy to the Somme battle ground and have marched many fresh divisions to the points where they have been held for the moment of attack Their failure to do than gain almost insignificant bits of ground is one of the most encouraging features of the fighting that is going and which may be looked upon the third phase of the German offensive.
 Raiding operations are reported along the French lines east of Montdidier
 Holland Says Situation Is Delicate
 1t is officially announced at The Hague that the nego ationS between Germany and Holland are not progress ing satisfactorily. The Dutch foreign minister has de- cned to give the details of the situation between the two countries, which is admittedly delicate
