HUNS ARE HALTED
At EVERY POINT
AFTER A MONTH OF FIGHTING,
ALLIES ARE STILL IN POSSES
SION OF STRAGETIC CENTERS.
Americans Fight First Battle Of Any
Magnitude East of ST. MihieI and
Come Out Victorious in Hand to
Hand Fighting.

notwithstanding situation of the
allies on the west front is critical, but
not as bad as the Germans would
have us believe. After II month of
lighting the allies are still In posses
sion of the strategic centers which the
Germans had planned to capture The
offensive of Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg has developed with scientific
precision but he has found himself
halted at every step forward.
While the allies have not attempted
an offensive of their own and, there
fore, are under the necessity of con
tinuing to withstand repeated enemy
blows, they have been so successful on
the defense that they have not yet
been compelled to surrender a central
base of operations.
The loss Of Ypres has been forecast
In the dispatches and the world expects
the British to retire from that historic
salient, but If the retirement is made in
good order TO nearby line, the allies
will still be in strong position for the
defense of the channel ports Of Dun
kirk and Calais. AT the Same time
they will be able to boast that they
have made the enemy pay dearly, if
not quite enough, for whatever gains
ne has made.
The loss of Ypres and large part
Of the last remnant Of Belgian Elan
ders will have a depressing effect upon
the Belgians and, perhaps, upon the
British and French, but Ypres never
was II great supply base. 1t was n
kind of advance fertilization. The loss
of the surrounding high ground is ser-
Gus because 1t forces the British back
into the low coastal district and gives
the enemy the best observation posts.
The Americans fought their first ac-
ton of any magnitude over a week
ago in the region east of ST. Mihiel
The fight centered at the village OF
Seicheprey
The Germans 1900 strong attacked
the American lines and also The ad-
! Joining French lines. They entered
the village OF Seicheprey and captured
it after fierce fight, in which they
took 1873 American prisoners. Tn,
Americans, aided by the French, quick
ly organized counter-attack and, OIL

session of the village. At times tn,
fighting was hand TO hand, with tn,
Americans victorious.
One of the most remarkable exploit.
OF any war was the British naval dasl

TO DEMANDS.
Japan Will Control China's Arsenals

Soldiers and Police and Work

Shanghai.-The statement is made in
the first issue of the Shanghai Ca
zette that the Chinese government has
agreed TO new demands made by Japan,
which are of such Il nature that the
country has virtually been turned over
to the japanese. The Gazette asserts
it has been informed by a. high official
at Picking that the japanese demands
are far more serious than those in
group V of the famous twenty-one de-
mands made by japanese in 1918.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
utmost secrecy is being observed, says
the Gazette, lit may be stated safely
that the following is not far from the
true terms of the agreement:
"Chinese expeditionary forces sent to
Siberia shall be commanded by Jap
anese.
"Chinese police shall be organized by
japanese officers.
Japan shall control all of China's
! arsenals and dockyards.
Japan shall have the privilege OF
working mines in all parts of China
Special privileges shall be granted
to Japan in outer and inner Mongolia
and the whole of Manchuria."

PEACE OF BREST-LITOvSK
THE UNDOING OF CZERNIN
Publication of Prince Sixtus Letter
Merely Pretext for Throwing
Him Overheard.
CabIegram to The Evening Star and
ChicsRo Daily News. Copyright. 1918.

CabIegram to The Evening Star and
AMSTERDAM, Holland. April IS
According to reports received at the
Austrian diplomatic headquarters in
Holland, the resignation of Count
Czernin was merely hastened by the
revelation of Emperor Charles letter
to Prince Sixtus Of Bourbon. 1t having
been looked upon as a certainty in
Vienna diplomatic circles for the last
six weeks. 1t appears to be a fact that
the emperor had merely been awaiting
a suitable opportunity to throw his
foreign secretary overheard The rea-
sons were manifold. One Of them was
that Count Czernin during his stay
at Brest-Litovsk allowed himself to be
completely overrun by the German mil
itary gang and finally returned to
Vienna with treaties with Russia and
the. Ukraine absolutely contrary in
character to that wished by the en-
peror and the imperial encourage.
Ever since that time Count Czernin
has found foe not only In his SOW
who was, the first to declare that the
Brest-Litovsk peace would make peace
with the western allies practically i'm
possible. Charles is known to be un-
der the influence of his consort. who
wishes Austria to make peace with the
western powers as soon as possible.
Count Czernin's betrayal of his i'm
perial trust at Brest-Litovsk was un-
mercifully denounced by her.

DELAYS IN SOLDIERS
MAIL ARE ADMITTED
But Post Office BIames War.
Department for Too
Strict Secrecy.
SUGGESTS TWO REMEDIES

The Post ONCE Department today
acknowledged serious delays in the
handling of mail to soldiers in France,
but put the blame upon the War De-
partment.
Otto Praeger. second assistant post
master general. who Is in charge of the
handling of mail to France, stated at
hearing before the House committee
on expenditures in the Post Office De-
partment on a resolution introduced by
Representative Francis of New York
that there were only two ways in
which the transmission of mail to SOL
diers in France can be expedited.
First, for the War Department to
take over the delivery of mail to the
soldiers, furnishing its own transporta-
tion after the mails have reached the
French shore.
Second, for the War Department to
take the Post Office into its confidence
as the Navy does and as the military
authorities of the allies do with their
postal service. allowing those in charge
of delivery of mall to know the move
ments of troops
In December. he said. 20 900 letters
were found in France, which had not
these were postmarked in the U. s.
in July. The British military and
naval authorities. he said. are inform
ing their postal authorities daily re-
garding changes in address of troop
units, and in this way British soldiers
and sailors are getting their mail
promptly. He pointed out that the
United States Navy is even informing
the postal authorities by wireless as
to the changed location of men in
service.
Mr.. Praeger made the statement that
after reaching France the mails at first
were delivered at Gen. Pershing's head
quarters in one day, but that now it
takes four or five days. but did not ex-
plain why.
There are thirty-fve postal stations
in France. he said. one principal one
in Paris, three substations on the sea-
coast and the others distributed among
the field forces.
Up to April l. he said. there were A.,
600, 900 pieces of mail a month before
the restriction was put into effect. The
troops are sending more than 5000 a
month in money orders to the United
States according to Mr.. Praeger.
Following this hearing Representa-
tive J. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania
had a letter read into the record re-
garding the difficulties in which a naval
reserve officer found himself as the re-
suit of bringing twenty-six uncensored
letters into the United States from boys
in his home state whom he met over
there.
