the cannonding is now being carried on by the Allied artillery, extends over a front Of practically ninety five miles.
 The terrific bombardment is not concentrated on the front line posi- tions of the enemy but is being spread over a wide range of territory for miles in the rear. German prisoners being brought in admit that the posi- tions far to the rear are being severely damaged and that the rain of high ex- plosive shells are inflicting very heavy losses on the German forces.

LONDON, April 1S-Field Marshal Haig reports that the Germans have pressed their attacks on Kennel Hill and forced back the British forces a short distance
 The British countored and regain ed the lost positions.
 The Germans launched three heavy attacks on the British positions in the Bailleul sector but were repulsed with heavy losses and have not repeated the attack since.
 The enemy have opened up intensive artillery bombardment on the British positions along the Lys front from Givenchy to the Eastward of Robeec but all British positions in this sector are considered safe and it is not ex- pected that the infantry attacks, mo- mentarily expected to begin, can posi- ble do more than expend their strength in vain effort to break through the strongly entrenched positions.
 German forces have again taken pos session of the village of Wytschaete on the Passchendaele Ridge, to the South of Ypres and also the village of Meteren.
 French troops are being rapidly rushed to the assistance of their hard pressed Allies and it is now thought that all recently lost positions in the vicinity of Ypres shall be shortly re- taken.

PITTSBURG, Apr. 18.-When a train due at Oakmont, Pa., bound for Pittsburg, pulled in at the Pennsylvania railroad station just onehour and twenty minutes late, it was not prepared for what greet cd 1t.
 The two passenger coaches were filled but the Pullman car was emp ty. The guards wore prepareing to crowd the workers into the already overflowing coaches. According to spectator, one man in the crowd objected to the hcrding process.
 No priuledged classes in Amer ica, ne for the Pullmsn," he cried.
 The porter objected. but the crowd, led by this man, surged in- to the Pullman. The Pullman pas sengers were astonished, but the wage-slaven were quite ct case in the easy chairs.
 They did not pay extra fare.

PARIS, April 1S.-The Allies have begun an intensive artillery lombard ment of all enemy positions along @ front extending from South of the River Somme, in the Amiens sector, to g. position on the River Disc. The bombardment has been opened on the enemy positions in this region with view of relieving tEe great pressure ces, in the mighty drive on the posi- itons surrounding Ypres. These pos itions, within the city of Ypres itself, would in all probability endarger all British positions in Belgium.

GERMAN FORCES
 REGAIN POSSESSION VILLAGE WYTSCHAETE

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 1S.-- Rumors to the effect that a mighty blow is now being struck by the French and American forces, are spreading through the city.
 While army officials say there is no confirmation of any such report, they are very much inclined to credit them. The officials consider the time now quite ripe for the beginning of a coun- ter offensive.
 We infer that the Great German drive has about spent itself, at least in the vicinity of Amiens, from which place no report of any action has come since the shelling of the Amiens Cathederal. And it is quite reasonable to suppose that the dispatch this afternoon from Paris, telling of the great artillery bombardment in progress on a ninety five mile front, is proof positive, that General Foch the Commander in Chief with his French and American aides has chosen this as the most opportune time to launch the counter offensive of the Allies.
 Foch, in his discretion, has selected the time just when, from all appearan- ces the Germans are drunk with vic tory and have come to believe that no position can prevail against them if they are willing to sacrifice enough lives or if their mass formation are only heavy enough.

ed after the 18th Common Council convened. Not even a word of thanks was uttered by any of them in appreciation of the GREAT HONOR their constituents have con- ferred upon them.
 Maybe the newly-elect were em- barrassed on account of the size of the audience, which consisted of two roughnecks, and our unsophisticated scribe.
 The only change made in the personnel of those in tho front line of trenches, at the municipal pie counter was the election of Dr. Nouman to fill the office vacated by Dr. Chace. We venture to say that City patients will continue to receive the same skillful and courteous treatment under the care of Dr. Neuman as they have had under his predecessor.
 Before closing, we cannot refrain from reiterating that the 17th Com mon Council did remarkably we'll in navigating the ship of State out of the wilderness from an indebted ness of $5,294 when they assumed command, to $394.13 over, and above all indebtedness when they turned the affairs of the City over to the 18th Common Council.
 The meeting then adjourned until D. m., May 9th.

There was a jubilation at the great

Tennessee, threw the switch that

"You and your men have my hearty
congratulations in your wonderful
achievement. old Hickory has set an
example of determination and patri-
otism that will win the war We are
all proud to be associated with you"
The Old Hickory Plant, including the
town, covers 80 area of about one and
one-half miles wide by three miles
long. 1t was necessary to build town

have a population of approximately
10000 persons. Probably 10000 or
more employees will live in Nashville.
The plant will consume $500 tons of
coal every operating day. 1t will re-
quire 100.000000 gallons of water every
twentyfour hours or rs much as city
