ola College in Baltimore has decided
to close and to send its students to
Georgetown University. It will be the
first time in sixty-f1ve years that the

The Rev. Richard Fleming. prefect

nounced that the boys under eighteen
years Of the college department will
also go to Georgetown, where they
will undergo the same military train
ing given to the boys Of military age.
The government. however, will not

HORVATH JOINS FORCES

Gen. Horvath, leader of a large fac
ton of Russians in Siberia and for
many years manager of the Chinese
Eastern railroad, has gone to Irkutsk
and Joined forces with the Czecho-
Slovaks, according to authoritative in
formation reaching Washington to-
day. This removes the most trouble

problem in that section of the world.
It Is believed by officials hero that
Gen. Horvath had no personal part in
the coup detat in his name by Gen.
P1eshkof, who recently attempted to
seize the government at vladivostok.
Prompt action by representatives Of
the allied powers suppressed the
movement. It is believed that Plesh-
koff. carried away by zeal for his
superior, made the attempt on his
by Horvath. and that Horvath's
movement in Joining the Czecho- -Slo-
vaks has been taken to show the
entente nations that he is working
honestly for the welfare of Siberia
and Russia.
Gen. Horvath is a representative of
the old regime in having been one
of the czars favorites.
People who have seen him recently
say that he is seriously concerned
over the predicament in which Russia
has found herself and Is willing to
mako any sacrifices to restore his ma
tion to a standing among the nations

leaving little doubt that tho line from
near Rheims to that now along the
Aisne would be quickly Strengthened.
The struggle is being made to the
Americans right and has placed them
in position where they are subject
to q heavy enfilade. especially by the
artillery. Despite desperate resistance
they swung their line forward to its
junction with the French, where the
most determined resistance was en-
countered.
Yankees Face Deadly Barrage.
More broken country offers better
opportunities for defense, and the
Germans have taken advantage Of
every hillside and ravine in placing
their artillery and machine guns The
Americans were forced to face q dead
ly barrage. while barriers of gas
were raised In every ravine down
which they might advance.
An equally destructive artillery re-
sponse was made by tho Americans,
however, and the men, already tried
IN previous engagements, advanced
steadily. driving out the machine gun
nests one after another.
The Germans held their positions
along a machine gun line stubbornly,
many of them dying at their posts:
but the total mortality was not great,
since only machine gunnerS were left
to the rear line. 1t is probable. how
ever, that the German losses were
large as a result of counter artillery
fire. Some thirty prisoners were
brought in today from that part of
the sector on the Americans right
Because of the better terrain the Ger
mans can afford to retreat hero more
slowly, and from their positions they
can exact higher price in return for
their withdrawal. 1t is Inevitable at
the same time that they, too, must
pay dearly. The result Is q foregone
conclusion, and the only question Is
that Of the cost in men.
Today the Germans enfiladed the
Americana, who on their part replied
in kind and with interest, while the
French supplemented their work with
what must have been frightful con-
sequences for the Germans.
Bring Up Supplies.
The slowing down of the German
retreat from the Aisne has enabled
the Americans and French to bring
| up supplies and artillery and get into
the line the full strength desired for
forward positions. The Germans, OF
course, have had the same oppor-
tunity to place their artillery In po-
sition, with the result that artillery
action today was enlivened and may
be expected to increase until new
