DON'T STOP WORK AT MINIMUM PLEA
 MADE ID WORKERS
sIRepublican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Another plea for local campaign committees not to stop working after communities reach their Liberty loan subscription quotas, went forth today from Secre- tary McAdoo, prompted by recurring reports that workers in some towns are satisfied with 100 per cent records.
 Hive stop fighting when we have reached the minimum of the Liberty loan," said the secretary, i've are not comparably sustaining our sons in France who are fighting not for the minimum, but for the maximum of Amerca's rights and world liberty"
 At the rate the country is sub1 scrbing this week the loan will be slightly over subscribed, but treasury officials are hoping for a total of at least 5000, 100000. The aggregate of reports up to the opening of business today is $1,790, AIS, 150 which is $132,- O00.0D0 more than the total announced last night. The average daily sub sCriptions necessary until the end of the campaign are s120,O00, 900 to make the three billion, and S320 100000 to make the five billion.
 The Minneapolis and St. Louis fed eral ! reserve districts were officially reported tonight as having subscribed 103 and 102 per cent respectively of their quotas and headquarters recog- nized the claim of the St. Louis district of having gone over the top first

GERMANS USE TANKS FUR FIRST TIME IN
 ATTACK ON BRITISH
Republican A. p. Leased WiEe1

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, April 24.-(By the Asso- ciated Press) Trouble has been brew ing in the Somme sector for days, the enemy maintaining a bombardment of more or less intensity over a wide area. Throughout yesterday Villers- Breton neux and surrounding places were heavily shelled and this morning the bombardment was greatly increased.
 On the northern battle front the Ger man artillery pounded the entente all lied positions yesterday, especially in the Robecq and Merville sector, and this morning an intense bombardment was put down in the British positions on both sides of the River Lave. Thus a large section of the northern battle front was seething today.
 Half Hour Bombardment
 An attack above Albert came after d half hour bombardment by the enemy.
 As the German infantry left their trenches the British deluged them with rifle and machine gun fire and forced a hasty retirement.
 A British operation yesterday over a 1000 yard front is the Rieze du Vim age sector was a complete success and greatly improved the defending lines. A nasty salient about 1500 yards wide and about the same depth had bulged into the British territory just north of Rieze du Vinage. By their. attack the British drove the enemy from this salient and strengthened their line.

but others got in corners and sniped at us with rifles and machine guns. Evidently they were prepared for a possible attack as the whole place was stuffed with machine guns"
 How the Vindictive went in is thus described by an officer of marines:
 Smoke Proves Effective
 All the ships used the smoke cloud device, the smallest emitting as much as the largest until there was an i'm penetrable smoke wall all the way from Zeeburge to Ostend. This deceived the defenders for a while, but when they found us out and sent up star shells, we steamed through and got hell.
 All our men were on the deck and we were shelled unceasingly for 20 minutes. The Vindictive had three Howitzers abroad and before we left the crew of the foremost gun had been wiped out three times by the guns ashore but our gunners did remark ably we'll and pumped lyddite into the German gunners on the beach. Destroy Boche Ships
 Several German destroyers were alongside the mole and three of them kept firing at the Vindictive at close

range. We charged one and threw in fifty bombs. A loud explosion followed and we saw that Vhe ship was abire and sinking. We could not reach the others and we do not know what be- came of them.
 After sinking the destroyer we forced our way ashore at the point of the bayonet and charged a gun crew which had been giving much trouble. killing many and dispensing the rest and capturing the gun. When we. got back the Vindictive presented sad sight. The upper decks were slippery with blood. The cries and moans were | heartrending. All around lay dead, dying and wounded"

LONDON, April 25.- British ma rines who landed on the mole at Zee bruge, according to narrative printed in the Daily Mail, say that when the cruiser Vindictive got talongside the mole 1t was found that of the IA gang ways abroad all had been shot to pieces except two which were damaged and shaky. Nevertheless. the men, headed by Captain Edward Bambord and Lieuteant G. Cooke, dashed over and landed on the first ledge of the mole, but lost severely from the terrible shell fire. From the ledge there was a wall to be climbed and then a drop of 20 feet which was negotiated by ropes and rope ladders.
 Use Hand Grenades
 "They tried to take our ladders, said a marine, but we let them come with in 10 yards and then blew them away with grenades. We chased the Ger mans through sliding doors and under ground passages. Some of them ran

"The fighting was less violent in the neighborhood of Hailles. Several en- emy assaults directed against the ridge east of the village were broken down by our fire and counter attacks.
 Further to the south, the Germans were similarly checked in their at tempts against Senecat wood and Hill S2, which remained entirely in our pos session.

 Penetrate Bulgarian Front
 Easter theater, April 23: Very spir- ited fighting activity has continued in the various sectors. The day was marked by a series of new successes for our troops. West of Dorian Brit ish attachments penetrated the Bull garian trenches on an extended front; they destroyed shelters and inflicted very serious losses on the enemy. In the region west of the lakes a mobile reconnOitering column, operating north of Davoli, drove the enemy from the line of heights which dominate the right bank of the Vrba valley, and pushing beyond, occupied the villages of Sals and Streselca, taking prisoners.

[Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN TRANCE, April 24.-(By the Associat- ed Press) The Germans opened an at tack in force early this morning in the vicinity of Nillers- BretonneuX and Hangard- -en- -Santerre, sending forward forces which they had been cOncen- trating for some days. Whether they intend to make another desperate ef- fort to capture kmiens cannot be fore told. but even if they succeed. the ef- fortswould be useless from a military standpoint.
 Their previous attempt was frus- trated by the determined and heroic resistance of rapidly improvised bodies of French and British troops. Since then both sides have had an opportun- jty to strengthen their positions while awaiting developments.
 Germans Move Up Guns
 Despite the atmospheric difficulties during the last few days the allied aVia- torsi have been able, through daring tactics to observe movements by the enefny They reported the arrival ol large endorsements of German guns which were located by the allied gun ners and badly hammered.

Dunne Defends Trial

WASHINGTON, April 24.-As an af- termath of the senate's recent discus sion of Thomas Moneys conviction in the San Francisco bomb plot, a tele- gram from Frank H. Dunne, judge of the San Francisco superior court in which another of the deefndants was tried, was received today by Senator Poindexter of Washington and read to the senate, praising the Washington senator's deefnse of the fairness of Moneys trial.
 Judge Dunne criticized as biased the federal labor commissions report of the Moneey case, declaring that Professor Felix Frankfurter who was Secretary Wllsons assistant on the commission, had not properly investigated the facts
 Gets After Frankfurter
 Don't let the report of F'rankfurter Fool you" Judge Dunne's telegram said. Tt was made with false reason- ing, without investigation and in total disregard of the rights of California"
 Professor Frankfurter, Judge Dunne said, did not interview him and many other court officers connected with the bomb plot case.
 Only radicals, anarchists, near an- archists and these mslead by them have views other than yours," Judge Dunne wired.
 Defense Spent Fortune
 Mooney was not convicted, Judge Dunne said, until large sums of money mad been raised and a pitiless cam palgn started to break down by pub lIclty and terrorism all witnesses for the state.' About s2O0,00O was raised for Mooneys defense, the judge as- serted.
 Regarding the attack upon the evil dence of the witness OXman, Judge Dunne said the defendant Billings, who was tried in his court, was convicted before OXman was ever heard of"

For Limited Obiectives

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, April 24.-2 D. m.-(By the Associated Press) fighting de- veloped this morning on the southern battle front, the enemy attacking south of the Somme along the line of Villers- BretonneuX, Hangard -E II Santerre, Hailles and Castel. Early developments indicated that the Germans were try ing only for limited objectives.
 On the British sector, Villers Breton- neux, which nestles on a ridge over looking the long stretch of the Somme valley, was the storm center and here the enemy for the first time since the war began had tanks in action-. Three | of these engines of war accompanied the storming infantry, which at latest reports had battled forward into the eastern outskirts of the town, where severe fighting took place
 Slight Success on South
 From the French sector came word that the Germans had made very slight progress.
 1 The assault was preceded by a heavy bombardment about Villers- -Breton- | neuX. At the conclusion of this prep aration the Germans surged forward along the whole British front south of the Somme, although it seemed evident that they had Villers Bretonneux" as their ultimate goal because of it's dom mating position.
 The first attack was thrown back but the enemy immediately came for ward again and this time met with more success.
 Are Headed by Tanks In the face of heavy machine gun and rifle fire the Germans pushed on toward the town. their three tanks leading. The British gave way slight ly' and the enemy got a footing in the eastern fringe of the town.
 ] Further north, little above the AL bert region, the British infantry put up. an $. o. $. for artillery protection about o'clock this morning and what appeared to promise a serious attack began to show. It turned out to be nothlng more pretentiOus than an at tempted raid however and the British artillery smashed the enemy infantry as they were leaving their trenches.
 British Recapture Post
 Between Robecu and Givenchv- To e La Basse there was also considera b,e enemy smelling this morning and tbe Germans made small attack in an at- tempt to take a post near Givenchv but thls movement was quickly stop- ped by theBritish fire. The British carried out minor operations at Given chy Which resulted in the recapt1lre of strong post which the enemy held
 south of the Clarence river four Ger man companies which essayed q local attack were repulsed.
