German Check Before Ypres Is the Most
Decisive Won Hindenburg Has Suffered

(For the United Press by Mason.)
New York, May 2.--The German
check before Ypres is the most decis-
i've Won Hindenburg has suffered since
the beginning of his efforts to reach
the Flanders plains preparatory for a
new major advance to the channel
ports.
The ability of the allies to with
stand the shock of German massed at
tacks without calling upon their re-
serves has now been demonstrated.
Won Hindenburg will try perhaps two
or three times more to break through.
If however, the northern front holds
fast as it has done in the past twenty
four hours, the German army must
begin its process of recuperation,
faced with defeat at long distance
from the channel.

Again there has come a pause in
the battle of Flanders, where the
ground everywhere is covered with
the gray-clad bodies Of German dead,
and the British and French are hold
ing securely to all their positions.
Fail to Break Line.
From Saturday until well into Mon
day night Gen. Won Arnim's forces
continued their efforts to break the
British lines on the Ypres salient and
to press back the British and French
from the high ground to the south
west, but everywhere their efforts
were fruitless. True, they again cap
tured Locre, but a counter thrust
forced them out again and at last aev
counts the French were holding the
village. ~ ~, ~-~-sNItaR
Pushed Back by British.
In the hilly region just to the north
of Locre the British also pushed back
the enemy at several points, notably
between KENNEL and La Clytte.
Much of the snap of the German
attacking forces has been absent from
the maneuvers they have been carry
ing out in Flanders under the stiffen-
ed line of the entente troops, which
has been apparent since last Sunday.

the east around Noyon the enemy
likewise has failed in all his attempts

German Guns Kept Busy.
The Germans on various sectors
of the line are still hurting tons Of
steel against the British and French
positions, but the allied guns are
everywhere answering them in kind.
While the present halt in the bat
tie possibly may indicate the near
approach Of the throwing into the
fray of the great reserve army which
Gen. Foch has gathered, that such is
the intention Of the supreme CONF
mander of the allied forces has not
become apparent. II is not impos-

Places Wanted for Capable Men.

To the Editor Of The Star:
For long time there has been a
great cry that the departments of the

obtain sufficient employees. At the

six men. in the prime of life. Eradu-
stes of leading colleges, and experienced
in business. in law. and IN former gov
ernment positions. who are not able to
even find a position under the gov
ernment at a fair salary, men past
draft age. all of them. 1t seems that
typewriters and stenographers and
clerkships suitable for nigh school boys,
young ladies, etc, are in sight A
great good could be done to many
living here and others who are
strangers by a statement of in what
bureaus or departments men Of train
ing. education, experience in law and
business will have a chance for a
position paying a fair salary. This
subject Is of interest to many read
ers of. your paper. There must surely
be q demand for men Of training and
well educated. past draft age, and at a
fairly good salary. There must be
some positions above 500 clerkships
which these men can't afford to accent
like young boys out of school can,

ting each other everywhere. I'd
like to be flier, and mount an
aeroplane, and soar up high and
higher than you'd consider sane.
I'd chase the Prussian birdmen
with patriotic glee, and show
them they're absurd men to mix
things up with me. To Pots
dam I'd go Topping on my large
duplex wings. and there they'd
see Inc dropping a lot of bombs
and things. I'd spoil the kais-
er's palace, and leave it pounded
flat, or else I'd bust a gallus and
likewise break slat. And then
I'd work my pedals, and soar
back whence I came, and have a
lot of medals hung on my hero
frame. And Pershing, Foch and
Joffre would cry "Parbleu!
Gee whiz! Did ever mortal duff
ter see valor such as his? And
every pretty maiden within
dozen miles would come, with
iaurels laden, and hand me
wreaths and smiles. My pic
ture would be printed in all the

APPEAL TO sCH0oLBoYs.
W. B. and E. Co. Asks Them to
Take Jobs on Traction Lines.

Students of the public high schools
and colleges in Washington are urged
to take employment as motormen and
conductors on the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company lines in a
circular to be distributed shortly to
school students. The company is con-
Quoting its appeal for help on its
lines by urging students to work as a
patriotic measure.
These are some of the slogans used
to bring men into the employ of the
company: DO you want to take the
place of a man who has been called
upon to leave his Job at home and
stand the supreme test of his man
hood by facing the guns of the
enemy-a test which you yourself
may be called upon to stand. IL all
do not now strain their every energy
to bring this war to a quick conclu-
sion?"
THE Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company needs 100 high school
boys or college students to take the
places of men who are being called
upon to hght. The company offers the
same money to boys as it pays to
men-31 cents an hour to start

NET WEIGHTS NECESSARY,
Slippers Of Butter and Cheese Re-
quired to Mark Packages.

A bulletin sent out by the bureau of
markets of the Department of Agri-
culture points out that reports are
current that some shippers of butter
In tubs and cheese in boxes are neg
lecting to mark properly the net
weight on the packages. as required by
the federal food and drug act.
Shippers are reminded that unless
correct methods are employed at
creameries and cheese factories in
determining the net weight of con-
tents in packages, the shipment or
delivery for shipment, interstate, of
such product will be in violation of
this law and result in prosecution.
The bureau of markets has found
that the average actual shrinkage in
butter in those shipments included in
its Investigations was less than half
a pound. 1t suggests a method for the
adoption of the shippers to meet the
requirements of the food and drug
act.
