At Seicheprey Americans
Showed Real Ability.
Germans Had Advantage in
Several Respects.
YANKS REFUSED TO GIVE WAY
All Ground at First Lost Has
Been Regained.
German Casualties Known TO
Be Very Heavy.

Washington. April 23.-Bloodier
and more desperately fought than any
battle in the war with Spain was the
clash between American and German
troops at Seicheprey in the Toul re-
gion of France.
Granting the possibility of heavy
loss to the defending force, American
officers here declared today the bat
tie was a real test of our mems fight
ing ability.
The unanimous verdict was that
they stood the test we'll.
Pershing's men stationed in that
sector of the line occupied positions
difficult to defend against such a con-
centrated attack as was launched by
the Germans.
The Germans had the advantage in
observation and concealment. With
the forces they used. officers here say
that the Bavarians should have been
able to take and hold the sector at
tackled They failed to hold because
the American boys refused to give
way
May Be an Official Statement
The war department has refused to
give out officially the Pershing cable
around 500 and the American casual
ties as heavy, tho not exceeding the
Teuton numbers.
Pershing is known to have under
consideration the issuance of daily
official communique to forestall the
publication of wild rumors based on
German official claims. The Seiche-
prey raid led to extreme stories OF
both defeat and victory. The truth
was that the German made a consid-
cradle advance and inflicted consider
able losses, but was driven out of pos
sibly all he gained while he himself
suffered heavy losses.

Kansas Shippers Meet To Pro-
test New Freight Charge.
Roads Want To Charge Them
for Switch Movements.

Protests against establishment of
proposed new switching charges by
railroads in Kansas are being heard
today in a formal hearing before the
public utilities commission. More
than a score of Kansas shippers are
here to attend the hearing. All rail-
roads in the state are affected by the
order which will add an extra charge
for extra switching of cars.
Many of the protests against the or
der have come from oil men. coal op
orators and dealers and milIers. They
are more directly affected by the pro-
posed ruling, a1tho it will apply to all
commodities. Commission men. as
well as representatives of small town
mercantile establishments. have also
gone on record against the new
switching regulation.
Means Much to Shippers.
Under the plan proposed by the rail
roads, an extra switching charge of 81
car will be charged for extra move
ment of freight. Cars will be Spotted
without extra charge to the shipper
but an extra movement to a new sid
ing or position will come under the
excess switching order. Many of the
shippers have taken the ruling to ap-
ply to movement of cdrs for cleaning
repairing or storage. Another ques-
ton involves the collection of an ex-
cess switching charge from the ship
pers where railroads are unab BILE 10
place all cars on one siding and must
make an extra movement of the
freight
Establishing of the regulation means
an expense of hundreds of thousand.
of dollars a year to Kansas shippers
In the movement of grain, oil and Goa
, the order means an enormous increase
in transportation expenses.

APPEALS FOR LOAN
Eighth German War Loan Is Subject

Amsterdam. April 23.-Ths Reich
stag assembled yesterday. The vice
president DIR. Hermann Paasche, made
an address, Berlin dispatches report,
in which he said:
"The success of the eighth war loan
undoubtedly will help to show our op-
ponents as well as neutrals to what
extent a web of deceit has been woven
around Germany and also to reveal to
them the fact that Germany'S interna |
strength remains unbroken. We hope
this victory in the financial field will
contribute substantially to the at
tainment of our goal as quickly as

Dutch Cabinet Met Yesterday
i'm Extra Session.
Relations Between Dutch and
Germany Very Strained.
AN ULTIMATUM FROM HUNS?
Holland Might Be Made An
other Belgium.
Sand and Gravel Shipments in
Dispute Now.

The Hague. April 23.-The Dutch
ca binet met yesterday in extraordi-
nary session.
The British foreign office. according
to the London Daily News. has learned
that the relations between Holland
and Germany are very strained. The
dispute about the supply of gravel
from Holland to Germa- was said
to have been the cause. Officials in
diplomatic circles in London were re-
ported to look upon the situation with
uneasiness Rumors were that some
thing in the nature of ultimatum
had been delivered to Holland by Ger
many
The Handelsblad of Amsterdam on
Monday expressed the belief that Ger
many would not hesitate to use COM
munication thru Holland even at the
risk of war if she believed that by
doing so victory could be obtained on
the western front. 1t was reported
recently that Germany looked with
disfavor upon Hollands attitude
toward the seizure by the United
States and Great Britain of Dutch ton
mage in American and British waters.
An Old Point of Dispute.
The Vadeyland says an agreement
| has been reached regarding one point
which has caused friction between
Holland and Germany, but that the
i old dispute concerning the transport
of sand and gravel to Germany con-
i tinues to be a stumbling block. Ger
many desired to resume the practice OF
| shipping gravel thru Holland but the
! Dutch government offers objections or
| the ground that new circumstances
have arisen.
I
Great Britain Also Involved.
| Washington, April 23.-The dispute
between Germany and Holland ovel
| gravel shipments. dispatches to the
! state department today indicate, is fal
! from settlement. The controversy i!
a three-oornered one. involving Grea
Britain also. Last November Grea
Britain withdrew cable facilities from
Holland after the Dutch had agreed
to permit the transit of sand an6
gravel thru Holland into occupied Bel
gium. For more than four month:
there was an embargo on commercial
cables from Holland to overseas coun
tries, including her colonies, but il
February cable facilities were restored
when it appeared the sand and. grave
question was about to be settled. Thu
Dutch press had reported that as re
suit of the conciliatory attitude th'
German government had taken, it ap
peared possible to reach an agreemen
which would be satisfactory to all.

Huns Expect South American
Nations To Enter.
German Public Being Pre-
pared for the News.
RELATIONS LONG STRAINED
Luxburg Affair the Beginning
of Trouble.
Many Demonstrations Lately
Approving United States.

London, April 23.-Uruguay and Ar
gentina are expected to declare war
against Germany at an early date, ac-
cording to Berlin advices forwarded
by the Exchange Telegraph cor
respondent at Amsterdam. The Ger
man newspapers have been notified to
prepare the public for this develop
ment, he adds.
Uruguay's relations with Germany
are known to have been tense some
time. On April IL a Montevideo dis
patch indicated that Uruguayan mis-
sion to France had been captured by a
German submarine. Uruguay, the
dispatch stated, had asked Berlin thru
Switzerland if Germany considered
that a state of war existed with the
Uruguayan republic 'as stated by the
commander of a submarine who cap
tured a Uruguayan military mission
bound for France" If the reply
should be in the affirmative, it was
announced Uruguay would declare a
state of war.
Uruguay Broke Relations.
Uruguay definitely broke diplo-
matte relations with Germany by act
of congress October Z last, following
the crisis over the relations between
Argentina and Germany brought about
by the Luxburg incident. Passports
were handed to the German minister
and the neutrality rule was waived as
to the entente allies. The attitude OF
Uruguay toward the United States as a
belligerent had previously been mark
edly sympathetic.
Argentina has been apparently or
the verge of a break in relations with
Germany over the submarine situation
several times since the publication las
summer of the documents in which
Count Won Luxburg, German diplo
matte representative at BuenoS Aires
advised the Berlin foreign Office
among other things. that a certain Ar
gentine merchant vessel should bt
sunk without trace"
| There has, as a matter of fact, beer
| little diplomatic communication be
/ tween Buenos Aires and Berlin in thi.
period as Count Won Luxburg wa:
/ handed his passports and only re
mained in Argentina because hi
health was represented to be such a.
to require him to be treated in a sani
tarium. Dispatches from Bueno
! Aires in February indicated a grow
ing tenseness in relations and grow
ing anti-German sentiment.
Since then demonstrations have bee1
held in the Argentinian capital in cele
bration of the entry of the United
States into the war and the Uruguayal
authorities have made it known tina
Argentina has agreed to place the Ar
gentine armed forces at Uruguay
disposal if Uruguay's northern prov
inces are threatened by a German up
rising in southern Brazil.
