In the region of Noyon and on the

with the Germans is in progress.
On Somme Battlefield.
Berlin, March 26.-The Germans
are now standing TO the north of the
Somme in the middle of the former

statement. Bapaume was captured in
night fighting. In the evening Nesle
was taken by storm, the statement
adds. British, Americans and French
were thrown back through a painless
wooded country.
$4,000 Prisoners Taken.
More than $4,000 prisoners and
more than 600 guns have been cap

and Chauny were captured in the
evening. Violent fighting developed
for possession of Combles and the

France has thrown the weight of

British Hold Fast.
The British armies are holding
fast along the line of the Somme

Field Marshal Haig reports. The Ger

the British trenches at only one point
and there they were Immediately

Peronn, were driven back to the east

Bapaume German attacks were re-

The greatest danger at present
seems to be further south where the
Germans apparently have driven

diers With FIVE other leaders OF the
"Russellite" organizations, Ruther-
ford was sent to Jail pending arrange
ment for bail. This was furnished
late last night.
The men were arrested during raid
on "Bethel Home" in Brooklyn, the
headquarters Of the Bible Students
Association, the Watch Tower Tract
Society and other associated bodies
formed ostensibly for the dissemina-
ton of the "new thought" teachings
of "Pastor" Russell.
Many of these doctrines were in
corporated in RusselPs posthumous

was one of the mediums through
which the Bible Students Association
leaders sought to stir up dissension

the necessity Of similar proceedings
throughout the country where the OBJ
jectionable pamphlets and periodicals

GERMAN PRESS WORRIED
Berlin Paper Urges People to Hold
Tongues or Grit Teeth.

Washington, May 9.-The German
press is showing signs of worry over
the huge casualties now officially adj
mitted, and over the failure to reach
a conclusion in the great western front
drive. Some German regiments are
reported to the Reichstag to have lost
two-thirds of their officers.
"The battle of the Emperor" is
what the western drive was called,
in Germany, according to diplomatic
dispatches received here yesterday.
The people were led to accept its
sacrifices on the promise Of the crown
prince that the Easter bells would
ring peace, "unless hindrance at home
should produce disaster"
Now, according to the Vossiche
Zeitung, rumors of huge casualties
are beginning to percolate among the
people, especially in Berlin. Despite
the urgings of this paper that people
must "hold their tongues if they can
not grit their teeth and hold on" il
admits that the casualties have beer
heavier. To quiet rumors OF disaster
the Vossiche Zeitung publishes tn
statement of the minister Of war t
the Reichstag in which he said:
"It is obvious that in such battles
losses must be heavy. At certain
points of the front they have ever
been very heavy. Certain regiments
have lost two-thirds of their officers
This, says a French critic. is in re-
markable contrast with the statements
which German war correspondents
have been sending back from the front
to the effect that the German losses
have been "ridiculously small He
adds that this contrast will be any
thing but reassuring to the German
people.
The Vossiche Zeitung of April IS
says:
"Rumors which are abroad among
our enemies, and even at Berlin. seem
to be very pessimistic. Every one de-
clares openly in Berlin that in the
Reichstag it is said our losses are for
midable, that the enemy is much
stronger than our command had sup
posed in the beginning, and that the
offensive in the west has been checked.
off a German paper is astonished
that every one is saying these things"
says a correspondent of the French
Havas agency, ''they must, indeed, be
serious"
The nervousness of the German PEG,
pie is considered here to have been
communicated, to some extent, to the
German armies.

BY THEIR FREEDOM
Lesson to BE Drawn From the Actions
Of the ~Emancipated People Of
Athens.

On a memorable occasion the assem-
ibled Athcnians declared ii monstrous
that they should be prevented from do
ing whatever they chose. No force
that existed could restrain them; and
they resolved that no duty should re-
strain. them, aud that they would be
bound by no laws that were not of
their own making. In this way the
'emancipated people Of Athens became
10 tryant; and their government, 1.-THE
Of European freedom, stands
condemned with a terrible unnnimity
by all the wisest of the ancients. They
ruined their city by attempting to con
duct war by debate in the market
place. Like the French republic, they
put their successful commanders to
death. They, treated their %dependen-
cies with such injustice that they lost
their maritime empires. They plum
dcred the rich until the rich %conspired
with the public enemy, aud they crown
ed their guilt by the martyrdom Of
S0crates.-Lord Acton's Essays.
