WATCH ENEMY WOMEN
Mary Will Be Arrested and Intcrned
Under New Bill.

Washington, April 15-Many Ger
man and Austrian women are under
surveillance by government agents
and will be arrested and interned as
soon as President Wilson signs the
bill which includes women in the
class of enemy aliens. 1t was said
today the number is more than 100.
In anticipation of this action by the
government, number of the most
dangerous German and Austrian
women have left the country recently,
Cfflc1als said today Enough remain,
however, to make If advisable officials
believe, to prevent them from running
at large within the United States and
gathering information on war activi-
ties. The women under surveillance.
II was said today, include the wives of
prominent German and Austrian busi-
ness men, particularly in add about
New York.
Arrangements probably will be
made to intern some of the women
in camps with their husbands and
limited housekeeping arrangements
may be provided. Unmarried women
VII be cared for in special camps.
Property in the possession of the
women interned will be taken over
by the alien property custodian Many
Germans who have been interned
turned their holdings over to women.

HOLMAN is SHOT
Deputy Sheriff Ambuscaded by
a Man and Woman.
Was Returning Home From At
tempt To Catch, BOOtleggers.

Joe Holman. deputy county sher-
iff. was shot and painfully wounded
early Sunday morning at Laurent and
Van Buren, streets. He is confined to
his home at Gordon street and Topeka
avenue.
An unidentified man and woman
who stood in the shadow of vacant
house at Laurent and Van Buren,
streets are being sought by the sher-
ifs force and police. AS to whether
the man or woman did the shooting Is
not known.
The bullet went thru Holman's right
foot. The pain made him drop to. the
ground, temporarily. When he recov-
cred the couple had fled. Holman
dragged himself home and fell in a
faint on his doorstep at 2:3O O'Clock
in the morning. Complications may
make the wound dangerous.
Holman, disguised. had been hiding
until o'clock in the morning waiting
for an automobile load of booze which
the sheriff. from certain sources, had
learned was to arrive in Topeka The
information received was faulty and
Holman was returning home.
Couple i'm Shadow.
As he approached the corner he
saw ii man and a woman in the shad-
ows of the vacant house, he told Sher-
iff Larimer. He started toward them
to investigate. He had hardly stepped
from the pavement until shot was
fired and he felt the sting of the bull
let
The fact that Larimer directed HoI-
man to disguise himself that night in
order to make detection of the booze
car more certain, caused the sheriff
to disbelieve rumors around the city
that enemies of Holman had finally
got him."
IF l had met Holman myself that
night l probably would not have rec
ognized him." said Larimer today "At
present, we can merely say we are
working on the case"
Holman is a colored deputy. who has
made an enviable record under Sher-
iff Larimer and former Sheriff Kiene.
At the same time on account of his
color and numerous arrests he has
, numerous enemies and this fact, off,
GERS believe, gave credence to rumors
around town that some of HoIman's
enemies had finally squared things" I"

afternoon also pushed out several
posts north of the canal between the
Lave and Clarence rivers. These
operations indicate the defense of the
entente allied troops has stiffened.
Enemy Fought to StandstilI. -
The British lines on the Lys front
near the Franco-Belgian border, are
holding well against the terrific drives
which the Germans are continuing to
make upon them.
All around the sweeping semi circle
created by the enemy attacks to the
southwest of the Messines ridge posi-
tions he was fought to a standstill
yesterday and last night and in some
localities the British positions were
improved by counter strokes At only
one point did the defense give way In
the least This was at Neuve Eglise,
on the extreme lower edge of the
Messines spur, where the British
finally withdrew from the village after
beating off =-ttack after attack.
The probabilities seem to be that
bit of ground will be short lived.
The village has changed hands re-
peatedly during the fighting of the
last few days, and the British were
once before definitely out of it, only
to recapture it in a counter attack.
This morning the British again were
back at the Germans here AMI were
reported to be giving them a hard
pounding. Large results hinged on
in the Merville sector where the Ger
mans have effected their furthest
westward penetration. They are
pushing here for Hazebrouck, occu-
patton of which would cut off i'm

British and make the holding of the
line to the northeast extremely diff
ficult
BaiIleul Still British.
The Germans displayed their appre-
citation of this by attacking no less
than seven times in the Merville re-
gion, the desperation of their attack
being evidenced by the fact that one
assault was carried out by troops in
five waves. This was the only attack
that bent the British line in the slight
est and the position here was speedily
restored in its entirety by a counter
attack.
The Germans similarly have been
foiled in their efforts to push in fur
ther in the Bailleul region, and this
important town is still in British
hands.
Far to the southwest on the Lys
front they have failed likewise in their
attempt to drive in back of Bethune.
The British in local operations here
have advanced their lines and pushed
the enemy back from the Clarence riv-
er. They took $50 prisoners and some
machine guns in one of these opera
tions.
The first phase of the FIander bat
tie is over. with the British victor
ious
Hindenburg has failed to attain any
of his mhitiouS strategic or geograph-
lcal ODJecuNeS. he mas Deen unaDIe TO
split Haig'S armies and has captured
none of the important cities for which
he was driving-Ha zebrouek, Bailleul,
Aire, LiIlois and Bethune
Fighting is continuing along por-
tions of the front but the German
attacks are becoming more feeble.
while the British resistance is
strengthening.
This was borne out bv Haig's Off
cial report today. in which he said
that seven successive enemy attacks
