OF Germans
(By Tho Associated rrees)

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE. April 26.-The slaughter
caused by the small British tanks
among concentration of the enemy
near Cachy in Wednesdays fighting ap-
pears to have been even greater than
was originally reported. A few of these
little engines, which are much faster
than the ordinary big tanks. made the
assault so quickly on two or three bat
talions of the enemy's infantry which
were forming for an attack that the
Germans were unable to scatter before
they were being fercely deluged with
machine gun bullets.
Not only that, but large number of
men were caught beneath the tanks and
ground into the earth.
Prisoners estimate that at least two
and probably three German companies
were destroyed in few minutes.
One German prisoner had a rough
experience with the small tanks and
lived to tell the story, although he was
much shaken as result of his expert
and was hidic" in she'll hole near
Cachy wher a tank charged directly
over the hole. 1t was deep enough to
protect the German, but he was so ter
rificd that he lest consciousness, and
was just regaining his senses when the
performance, was repeated by second
tank. Again he escaped, and saved him

< Discharged

Robert Leonhardt, an Austrian barry

pany for the last five years, announced
yesterday that he and nineteen others
OF the company, including Max Bloch,
the tenor, had been dismissed from the
company because they were Austrians
or Germans. The company is finishing
the season at Boston.
Leonhardt said. he was very much
hurt by the dismissal. He was not at
war with the United States, he de-
clared, although the United States
is at war with Austria. He added
that American singers are singing lead
ing roles in Vienna theatres.
1T was stated that few Of the lead
ing artists of the company were af-
fected. most of the German singers
having been released at the beginning
of the. season. Eighteen of those dis
missed are members of the chorus.

(Tribune Cable Scrvce)
LONDON, April 26--The Dutch stu.
alton has grown moro acute. 1t is be-
lieved Holland is strongly resisting the
German demands. The return to The
Hague of the Dutch Minister at Berlin
is considered highly significant, but the
unlikelihood Of Germany's desiring ar
other enemy at the present juncture
argues against her continued insist
ence.
Nothing is known here concerning a
statement attributed to the German
Minister at The Hague that the differ
ences were practically settled. But tins
is thought not improbable if Germany
has withdrawn her demands involving Il
breach of Hollands neutrality.
The recent dispute between England
and Holland regarding cement, which a
commission of inquiry decided in Hol-
lands favor, was one of fact. not law,
and. similarly. Hollands position in the
sand, gravel and ore question depends
on whether these arc for military or
civil use.

Dutch Put Embargo on
Tis,; u. s. Hard Fit

WASHINGTON, April Holland
has placed an embargo on the ex-
portation from the Dutch East Indies
of tin, tin ore, cinchona bark, quinine
quininc salts and kapok, all of which
are needed in large quantities by the
United States for war purposes.
The embargo on tin and tin ore will
prove especially embarrassing to the
United States. Supplies needed for
mnitions and food preservation were
expected to come from the Dutch East
Indies, as the British arc taking the
entire output of the Straits Settle
ments. About 10000 tons Of tin was
bought by the United States last year
from the Dutch East Indies.

iii Health Given as Reason
by Head of Mission to
United States
Food Directors
Reason the Same
Sharp Division of Opinion
on Chances of Home
Rule Bill
By Arthur S. Draper


LONDON, April 26.-Following state
ments in evening newspapers that Lord
Northcliffe had rendered his resigna-
tion as chairman of the London head
quarters Of the British mission to the
United States and Director of Propa-
ganda in enemy countries on account
of poor health, called on him to-day.
He told me he intended to continue
until the government found some one
to relieve him.
He emphasized the fact that he was
not member of. the government and
had declined to join it because he
wanted his papers to be free to criti-
else when they considered il necessary.
His health has been bad for several
weeks, and ne has not yet recovered.
At such time political changes make
little stir, and speculation as to the
strength NJ weakness of the lloyd
George government. is overshadowad BY
developments on the battlefield.
The real leaders OF the country at
the moment are the generals, upon
whom rests the fate Of the people ana
the politicians. IN quietcr times Ire
LAND and Home Rule would have held
the countrys interest, but now they
form only a secondary problem.
Opinion IS divided as to whether the
government can get Home Rule
through both the Commons and the
House of Lords. Lloyd George has
stated that if he failed the govern
mcnt would resign. Some observers
believe the life of the government wilt
not exceed three months at the most,
while others think Lloyd George win
pull through this as he has through 50
many other crises.
His powerful press following no
longer exists, and the many resigna
tions nave hurt the government pro-
tjgc greatly.

Reserves To
Decide Battle,
British View
Foch Has Them Ready,
Says General Radcliffe,
New British Director

LONDON, April 26.-Thc Importance
of every Allied country engaged in the
war to get every possible man into posi-
tion to support the battlefront was en-
phasized by General .Delnia Radcliffe.
Chief Director OF Military Operations
ct the War Office to-day, in his first
interview with newspapermen since he
took over the position formerly held
by Major General F. B. Maurice.
"The Germans are going on with this
hammering process" he said. "and we
have got to make up our minds xhat
it is not this week, or next week, or
next month that this fight is coming
to a decision. We are going to fight
the whole summer, and in the end it
is question of who holds the last
reserves.
Reserves on the West front are
now, I am happy to say, in the hands
Of one command, namely, in the hands
of the commander in chief of the
Allied armies in France = General
Foch, in whom everybody in both
armies has complete confidence. He
has so far employed only small pro-
portion of his reserves snd that is a
good augury for the future.
Long Fighting Ahead
~ want to emphasize the fact that
this is a long drawn-out test Of endu-
rance-endurance of nations. That is
why it is so imperative for this coun-
try and all countries which are en-
gagged to get hold of every man they
possibly can to support the battlefront.
What is going to tell in the end is
men,"
In summing UP the battle situation
General Radcliffe said:
GAS regards few days preceding
April %, the German activities were
devoted chiefly to the Lys sector be-
tween Givenchy and Merville. All the
details have been published. and the
net result was highly satisfactory for
us. The Germans put in lot Of
troops, suffered heavy losses and
gained absolutely nothing.
Around Givenchy, particularly. the
result was very satisfactory. Some
important positions changed hands and
were finally left in our possession. Fur
ther north, east of Robecq, we gained
quite little ground and took a con-
siderable number of prisoners.
"All of it was good. The balances Of
losses and wear and tear were decided

KENNEL Hill and the high ground
protecting Ypres on the south nave
fallen to the Germans. General
Won .Arnim pushed his two days
assaults with fully 125, 900 men.
Furious fighting continues while
the enemy attacks the ridge north
west Of KENNEL, running through
scherpenberg.
Berlin claims $500 prisoners, mostly
French, as q result of the battle.
At the same time the battle before
Amiens in the south turned in the
Allied favor. The French and
British yesterday attacked on a
front of about six miles, from Viii
lers-Bretonneux to below the Luce
River, and recvptufed positions all
along the line.
Field Marshal Haig announced last
night that the foe had taken
Dranoutre and KENNEL Hill and
village. Following Allied counter
attacks, which for a time were sue
cessful, the Germans were again
advancing at both ends Of the line.
in the direction of Locre, due west
OF KENNEL, and both sides the
Ypres- Confines Canal, southeast oe
Ypres.
The capture of KENNEL Hill, COS feet
high, was apparently effected when
detachments OH both sides of it
gave way, permitting the enemy
to surround it's French defenders.
The poilus on the crest held out
for many hours, killing great num-
bers of Germans who tried to
climb the steep slopes, but were
finally overwhelmed.
From KENNEL the Germans can now
overlook the wide plain to the
north on which stands Ypres. r.
appears certain that the British
will now have to give up their
salient there. The enemy is one
step nearer the Channel ports.
General Radcliffe, speaking for the
British War Office, said the battle
in the end would be decided by
the last reserves and General Foch
as yet had used only small part
of his reserves available.
Despite the German success in FLAIR
ders, he still expected, he said, >
blow greater than the enemy had
yet delivered, directed fn al 81
fort to separate the French. end
British between Arras and

would continue all summer.
In the south, Paris officially an
nounced, fighting continued last
night with exceptional violence"
The village of Hangard, on the
Luce, often lost and won before,
changed hands twice more yester-
day, and at last report was partly
held by each side.
