US. Charters
100000 ons
OfNorseShips
Sailing Vessels Will Be
Put Into Non-Hazard-
Gus Trade

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The Ship
ping Board has chartered 100000 tons
of Norwegian sailing ships. They will
be put into non-hazardous trades,
principally with South America, re-
leasing ships for war trades.
The sailing vessels will supplant
about one-third as much steam ton
mage, the difference being due to
slower speed. Some of the chartered
ships are as large as 5000 tons ca
pacity and all of them are of steel.
The chartered ships will be permit
ted to fulfil existing contracts, most
of which expire soon. after which they
will be directed in their trade accord
ing to war needs. Control by the
Shipping Board will result in lower
rates to shippers and more effective
handling. of the ships through the
abandonment of the tramp" method
of obtaining cargoes. Most of the
vessels are in the Atlantic. but a few
in the Pacific will be permitted to
remain there for trade with Australia
and the Orient.
The addition of the Norwegian sail
tial increases which the American
Previously all available steamers fy-
ing the Norwegian, Swedish, Dutch and
Danish flags had been chartered. While
control of the vessels has been
prompted by war needs, it was indi-
Gated that to as great an extent as
possible they will be permitted to
carry the ordinary merchandise of
peace times. so that economic unset
tlement will be minimized.

Allies Strengthen Posi-
tions in Northern Sec
tor and Capture
Prisoners
Teutons Rushing
Up Heavy Guns
Artillery Fire Increases
Along Whole Line
in Preparation for
New Blow

The period of feverish preparation
for resumption of the great bat
tie in the West which began fol-
lowing the battles Of last Thurs
day still continues. Both sides
are making strong raids and inn
proving their lines by local opera
tions, while heavy artillery duels
are going on in many sectors.
Military observers see signs that the
next great hostile effort may be an
attempt to cut in behind the for
midable defences of Arras and
Vimy Ridge, now jutting out into
the German lines, by attacks on
both fanks.
According to this hypothesis, the foe
will lounch a new attack in the
north on the Givenchy- Robecq
line, where he failed dismally on
Thursday, and at the same time
in the south assail the stanch
army of General Byng somewhere
between Arras and Albert.
Both sides have been noticeably ac-
tive along these sectors in the last
twenty-four hours reported. The
enemy attacked near Mesnil, north
of Albert, and captured a British
advanced post.
On the north the British continued
to improve their positions in the
Robecq sector. The enemy capt
ured an advanced post northwest
of Festubert that had changed
hands several times. Later the
British again advanced their line
near Robecq, taking sixty-eight
prisoners.
There were also thrusts for the pur-
pose of gaining information by
both sides between La Bassee
Canal and Arras-that is, on the
front Of this Allied salient.
Berlin announced the British were
thrown back in an attempt to cross
La Bassee Canal.
General Pershing reported yester-
day that American casualties in
the fighting at Seicheprey Satur-
day and Sunday were about 200,
while the foe lost between. 800
and 400.
Fighting activity has broken out all
along the Balkan front, Paris an
nounced. It appears that the
Allies are harrassing the enemy
here to prevent reinforcements be-
ing sent to France.

Ireland to Stop
Work To-day as
Draft rotest
Railroads and Tramways To
Be Tied Up; Action Taken
by Trades Unions

DUBLIN, April %. - Following the
decision of the Trades Congress here
on Saturday, various trades unions have
met and have generally accepted the
decision and have determined to abb
stain from all work tomorrow as a
protest against conscription and as evil
dence of their purpose to resist it.
Dublin householders were this morn
ing told by bakers and millmen that
there would be no deliveries to-mor-
row. Tramway and transport workers
organizations have decided to stop
work, as we'll as engineers, carpenters,
tailors, Diapers assistants, black
smiths, etc. Railway mems organiza-
tions, said to number 10000, including
station masters and clerks. have come
to the same decision.
So far as trades union labor is con-
cerned, to prove its able influence over
its members, tomorrow will be a gen.
eral holiday. No previous attempt to
stop tramways and trains has ever
completely succeeded in Ireland, but
this is the first time any such move
has been able to rely on high ecclc-
siastical and political approval. The
event is not a strike in any ordinary
sense, but is demonstration with
political object.
The Dublin corporation to-day ex-
pressed approval OF the decision of its
employees to abstain from all work to-
morrow. The city is lighted By n,u-
nicipal electricity, Sc the idle day may
mean that there Will be 10 electric

LONDON, April 22.-There is a big

Channel points beyond? Or. having

hands would serve as jumping-off

There are many strong supporters
for the latter theory. They think that

General Reports to Baker
That Foes Losses Were
Heavier Than His
Teutons Planned
To Shatter Line
Resistance of Our Troops
Unexpected; Seicheprey
Struggle Desperate

WASHINGTON, April o.. General
Pershing's first report on the German
assault upon the American and French
forces in the Toul sector Saturday is
understood to indicate that the Amer
leans sustained more than 200 casual
ties and to estimate the German losses
at between 800 and 400.
1T was learned tonight that the re-
port had been received, but War De-
partment officials refused to make it
public or to comment upon persistent
reports about the department concern
ing its contents. Secretary Baker is
understood to be awaiting more details
before making an announcement
though he probably will lay the infor-
nation received before the House Mil
itary Committee when he appears to-
morrow to tell of his trip abroad.
No Official U. S. Report
The Germans claim to have captured
1873 Americans and to have killed and
wounded many more, and so far there
has been no official American answer
to the claim.
This situation may result in a re-
vival of consideration at the War De-
partmcnt of the proposal that a daily
statement be issued from the head
quarters of the American expeditionary
forces.
The explanation heretofore given for
the refusal to accede to the proposals
was that American troops are part and
are cooperating with larger French and
British units, and that an independent
American communicate would neces-
sarily duplicate British and French
statements.
Enemy Leaves 300 Dead
Reports coming in to-day relative
to the fight in the Toul sector show
that the losses sustained were no
larger than what could reasonably be
expected from such an engagement,
which was the most severe of any in
which American troops have taken part.
The losses of the enemy, on the other
hand, were much greater than he had
anticipated as is evidenced by more
than 300 dead Germans in the Ameri-
can trenches and in No Mans Land.
His losses in wounded are unoknown,
as disabled men were dragged back to
the German trenches.
An American officer to-day brought
in a new German revolver. 1t is a
rapid-frer, resembling a miniature ma
chine gun, and made its first appear
ance against the Americans.
Not far from the scene Of the Amer
lean first big fight against the enemy
is the village where Joan of Arc was
born. From the hill where the market
girl saw the vision which called her
to the defence Of France one can now
see fine young Americans marching
toward the front. They are cheered
by the French, who remain in their
homes, despite the roar of the German
guns, confident in their defenders.

learned that the relations between Hol-
land and Germany are very strained.
The chief cause Of the quarrel appar-
entity San old dispute about the supply
O: gravel from Holland to Germany.
The situation is regarded with anxiety
in official ard diplomatic ci-clcs.
1t is rumored that something in the
nature OF an ultimatum has been de-
livered to Holland by Germany.
AMSTERDAM, April 22.--The Dutch
press expresses anxiety regarding Ger
mary's intention toward Holland. The
"Handelshlad" considers that Ger
many's policy will be determined pure
iy by what promises to pay best and
believes that Germany would not hesi-
tate to use communication through
Holland even at the risk Of war, if she
believed victory could thus be achieved
on the Western front.
The "Handelsblaad" regrets that, as
far as known, the Entente powers have
begun nothing in the direction of ia
cilitating the movement of provisions
and war material to help make the
Dutch army strong enough if it should
be menaced by ar invasion, and COM
plains generally about the British pol
icy toward Holland.
Commenting on a Rotterdam dis
patch to the London Telegraph" yes
terday. which was cabled here, the
"Handeisblad" says that it is rumored
Germany has attempted to obtain con-
cessions from Holland concerning the
transit Of sand and gravel and trans
portation by rail through Limbourg
of various necessities not intended for
military purposes. Relative to a set
tlement regarding traffic on the Rhine,
the "Handelsblad" learns that an
agreement has been reached.
The Rotterdam correspondent Of
"The London Daily Telegraph" report
ed Sunday that Germany was engaged
in a plot to embroil Holland in the
war on one side or the other, and
would force the issue in a few weeks,
