The San Francisco district with an

last night that the 100 per cent mark
should be passed with subscriptions

Dallas telegraphed last night that
the city of Dallas was causing more

complicated somewhat by an erron-

from the maneouvers they have been
carrying out in Flanders under the
stiffened line of the entente troops
which has been apparent since last
Sunday.
To the south near Amiens and to
the east around Noyon the enemy
likewise has failed in all his at
tempts to push further forward. The
British, east of Vlllers-B -Bretonneux,

have advanced their front and in the
Noyon sector the French have re-
established their lines which the Gsr-
mans previously had captured from
them.
The Germans on various sectors OF
the line are still hurting tons Of
steel against the British and French
positions but the allied guns are
everywhere answering them In kind.
While the present halt in the battle
possibly may indicate the near ap-
proach Of the throwing into the fray

General Foch has gathered, that such
is the intention of the supreme COM
mander Of the allied forces has not

GERMANY ALREADY HAS ABOUT TWO
MILLION MEN IN WESTERN ATTACK

For their operations in Flanders
the Germans are well placed as re-
CARDS communications. since behind
their lines there Is a series Of good
routes and railroads.
The allies are not so well pro-
vided In this respect.
Up to the present, however, the
enemy has made little progress on
either end of the line, but his mem
ace has not been effaced. 1t is
known that the Germans, in spite
Of their losses, are very powerful
and that fresh divisions are available
for further big efforts notwithstand-
ing the fact that they already have
thrown approximately 100000 men
into the line. Several of these d.
visions which have not been used
are composed Of excellent material.
but the others heretofore have occu-
pied quiet sectors, where they have
lost some of their offensive spirit.
Many divisions that have partici.
pated in the battles have been
severely punished. Some estimates
of their losses mount to as high az
half million men. Conservative cal
culations, however, do not place the
losses beyond $4,000 men. The Ger
mans have enough men in their de-
pots in the interior to fill all gaps
for some time, although reconstructed
divisions never will be able to equal
in fighting quality the original for
nation, since large numbers of the
men have been wounded and after
recuperation again thrown into the
line. Prisoners taken recently do not
display the old time feeling of GER
tainty that the great blow, which
has been so long prepared, win yield
immediate and full success.

shocks. A particularly bitter battle
was waged astrlde the Kemmel-La
Clytte highway near the junction OF
the French and British. Here the
enemy tried his favorite trick OF
trying to divide the two forces. but
he found no weak spots.
At Ridge wood, west of Voorme
zeele, heavy fighting also continued
throughout the day, the Germans
losing great numbers of men, both
killed and wounded II is impossible
to say how many attacks the enemy
made at this point during the course
of the day; they came forward in
waves throughout the long hours
There was no cessation of the ter.
rible battle The wonder is that the
allied troops were able to hold in
the face of such onslaughts by su.
perior numbers.
The German artillery which had
been greatly augmented Tor thls
attack, pounded the back areas In
cessantly and the duel between the
opposing guns OF all calibres from
Saturday evening until Monday night
was appalling.
The British improved their position
slightly before Villers-B -Bretonneux
The enemy artillery was very active
in this region. and the enemy guns
we're increasingly busy from Vlmy
northward
Thus far the German capture of
KENNEL has done them little good,
for the allied artillery has kept the
crest OF the Hill so smothered with
shell fire that 1t has been impossible
for the enemy to occupy 1t In force.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Monday, April 2s.-The
Germans again turned their attention
to the southern flank Of their frcEs
of attack Sunday night and early
Monday morning, assaulting the Han.
gard wood number OF times un.
successfully At the same time they
bombarded with poison gas shells
the northern flank where there are
strong indications of an approaching
renewal of their infantry operations
around Ypres. 1t appears certain
that the Germans soon must dis.
close their intentions, showing
whether they have decided to con-
fine their operations to the present
battle front or to extend the actual
fighting line on one end or the other
in the hope of finding a weak spot.
The enemy's tactics In the present
battle bear a close resemblance to
those used In the battle OF Verdun
in 1916, but on an immensely large
scale. After the opening rush along
the entire line, for the purpose, IL
possible, of overwhelming the de-
tenders by pure strength of numbers
before they are able to recover from
the first great shock, each flank is
attacked separately with the object
of securing strong supporting bases
on both wings which would permit
them to launch a second and real
offensive with masses OF fresh troops
meanwhile opposite the
central point.
On this occasion Flanders and
Picardy form the flanks of the Ger
man battle front, the center of which
is the Arras salient which for the
is left in comparative peace.
