were mistaken and that Wilde scored
an easy victory.

William Entwistle and Jack Brett

final arrangements to be made
Archibald W. Chiappa, the profess
sional of the Richmond County Coun-

There is quite a number of profes-

when the weather will permit is liable
to occur from time to time, as many
of the local courses will remain open
all winter.

NO ADVANT TAGE IN
DECLARING WAR ON
BULCAR KINGDOM
Report Of Ferdinand'S Troops
on Western Front Will Not
Change Attitude Of United
States at Present Time,
'sr MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,SrI

Washington, March 22.--America' S
attitude towards Bulgaria will not be
altered, at least for the present, by
operations of Bulgarian troops on the
western front
Reports that Bulgarian units had
been brought up to the lines opposing
the British forces were received at
the state department without surprise
and without arising any apprehension
of an immediate diplomatic change.
1t was indicated that certainly until
the troops of the Balkan state, re-
garded as Germanys tool, were ac-
tually used against lines held by
American troops the present anamo-
lous situation probably would con-
tinue.
1t is known, however. that sugges-
tions from foreign capitals have
reached Washington that the United
States should formally include Bull
garia among its enemies.
Some officials think nothing would
be gained by declaring war, even If
Bulgarian troops should be found
fighting against the American front.
They contend there is no advantage
in declaring war and that there will
be a diplomatic advantage at the end
of the war in not having altered the
diplomatic status.

New York. March 22.-For at least
half a century young men who as
pircd to journalistic fame have been
given the axiom that anything un-
usual constitutes news They have
been told, proverbially, that if a baby
fell out of fourth story window and
was killed it would not be unusual
but that If it fell out of fourth story
window into baby carriage in the
street and was not injured it would be
unusual and, therefore, news. 1t
happened in New York tonight.
Mrs. Edna Wicker was leaning out
window of her apartment at S9J
Second avenue, with her two months
old grandson in her arms when she
fell out. The baby dropped into a
go-cart in the street below, Mrs.
Wicker was so seriously injured she

In battle that has rivaled in fo-
rocity any that has preceded it dur
ing three and half years of warfare,
the British on fifty-milc front, have
withstood a great German offensive
in it's initial stages. At some points
the British line has been bent back,
but not As much as had been expected
by military experts acquainted with
the forces the Germans had brought
up and the power of the guns they
had upon and behind the line.
AS the result of the struggle on
that part Of the front just west Of
Cambrai, where the fighting was APP
parently the hottest, the British line
has nowhere been broken and Field
Marshal lIaig's men have inflicted
frightful casualties on the enemy.
Germans Take 10000 Prisoners.
AS an indication of the sanguinary
nature of the fighting, the Berlin for
eign office states that 5000 men and
200 guns have been captured. This
may be compared to the British losses
in the German counter offensive on
December t. 1917, when 5000 men
and 100 guns were captured.
The first reports of infantry fight
ing were indicative OF an attempt on
the part of the Germans to drive
wedges into both sides of the Cam
brai salient, isolate the British troops
further east and regain the Hinden-
burg line, from which they were driv-
en- on November %, 1917, by General
Byng's sudden blow. Subsequent dis
patches have proved that this was,
indeed, the plan of the German gen.
eral staff The fighting on the rest
of the fifty-mile front was but a side
issue to the terrific onslaught aimed
at Gauche wood and Lagnicourt, the
south and north bases of the salient.
