lost 5000 men. and holding the off,
GERS themselves responsible for these
losses which he declared were cxces-
sive. He gave orders especially that
in the future they enforce a greater
degree of discipline in the trenches
where many of the losses had occurr-
ed. The general is declared to have
ended his discourse by declaring that
the losses in the future must be kept
down to a lower point or else II would
be necessary to give up all hope of
reaching either Paris or Calais.
Other informations which to a large
extent have been controlled and veri-
fed, establish, for example that at
Antwerp 5000 beds have been requi-
sitioned by the Germans for their
wounded.

MAY RENEW FIGHTING
 WITHIN I FEW HOURS

Associated Press War Summary.)
 Artillery duels and patrol actions continue on the Vesle front while the opposing armies make ready for fu- ture operations. Indications point to a resumption of fighting within few hours. It seems apparent that the Crown Prince is preparing for fur ther effort to check the allied ad- vance, but it is not clear whether he will make definite stand between the Vesle and the Aisne. Bad wealth CT is hampering the movement of guns and endorsements, and 1t is expected that several days will elapse before the allies are ready to renew their offea.sive. The Americans at Fismes are being subjected to a heavy bombardment, but are holding their positions American machine guns wiped out German battalion which was preparing to attack American bridge builders west of Fishes Tuesday. The Americans repulsed two attacks in the Woevre sector.
