BIG LOSSES ON FOE
Haig's Men Raid Hun Positions
Around Hebuterne.
MANY FIGHTS BY PATROLS
Entire Battle Front in France Is Alive
With Raidino Parties and Ar
tilIcry Grows More
Active.

London, May 23.-The Germans
made another atte-Ipt to raid the
British positions near Mesnil, bur We're
repulsed, according to Field Marshal
Haig's report from British headquar-
tiers in France The British carried
out raid on the German positions
around Hebuterne, with heavy casual
ties to the Germans.
Raiding Parties Active.
The entire battle front in France
appears to be alive with raidihg par
ties and combat patrols. From the
American held sectors in the east clear
to Ypres reports come of constant skir-
mish warfare in No Mans Land, al
though the Picardy and Flanders
fronts are the scenes CO the greatest
activity in this respect.
While the allies under General Foch
have expected the German higher COM
mand hourly to throw forward its
forces for the second grand effort to
bring about a decisive engagement,
the growing fierceness and frequency
of reconnaissance fights, coupled with
greatly intensified air fighting and
heavy artillery engagements, lead
some observers here to believe the
moment of the new offensive surely is
near at hand.
Allies on the Aggressive.
The allies III these small but deadly
encounters in the darkness of No
Mans Land undoubtedly are the ag-
gressors, and are giving the enemy
front line units no rest During lie
night General Haig's troops carried
out many such small operations at
various parts of the front, capturing
prisoners and machine guns.
Southeast of Arras British patrols
dropped into hostile trenches at two
points, capturing IA prisoners and a
machine gun. In the region of LOGON
and between Nieppe forest and Met
eren In Flanders similar successes
were attained by the British. Sixteen
prisoners we're taken in a sudden dash
by small British party north of the
Ypres-C Confines canal, while a hostile
raidsng party which crept up on the
British lines north of Albert was dis
persed.
Reports also show that French
groups operating farther south took
prisoners and machine guns in small
sorties between shutdown and sunrise.
Meanwhile the artillery. which has
hardly rested since the great offensive
of March q began. is speeding up. at
some points reaching extreme violence

The Germans have carried out re-
distribution of their forces along the
whole front. The movement of troops
in the rear, especially, has been heavy.

President Backs Gar
field; Declares Or
der Imperative

Washington, Jan. 18.-The Presi-
dents statement endorsing Admins
traitor Garfield's order follows:
II was of course consulted by Mr..
Garfield before the fuel order OF
Yesterday was issued and agreed
with him fully that is necessary,
much as I regretted the necessity.
This war calls for many sacrifices
and sacrifice Of the sort called for
by this order indefinably are less
than sacrifices Of life which other
wise might be involved. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary to relieve the con-
gestion at the ports and upon the
railways, it is absolutely necessary
to move great quantities of food
and it is absolutely necessary that
our people should be warmed in
their homes if nowhere else, and
halfway measures would not have
accomplished the desired ends.
'If action such as this had not
been taken we should have iimped
along from day to day with slowly
improving condition of affairs with
regard to the shipment Of food and
coal, but without such inrn ediate re-
lief as had become absolutely neces-
sary because Of the congestions of
traffic, which have been piling up
for the last few months.
81 have every confidence that the
result of action of this sort will JUS
tify it and that the people of the
country will respond loyalty and pa
triotically to necessities of this kind
as they have to every other sacrifice
involved in the war. We are upon
war footing and l am confident
the people of the United States are
willing to observe the same sort of
discipline that might be involved in
the actual conflict ITSELF"
