"As early as o'clock" the cor respondent telegraphs, "his majesty posted himself on an advanced field position which gives view over the range of heights southwest of Ypres and which actually shoot under the concusSion of our tremendous gun fire.
 ''The emperor, who was surround ed by the suite of the commander Of one of the armies, personally marked all the results on the maps. He re- mained absorbed in the contempla- ton of his war picture until the lace afternoon. Then, returning to head quarters, he reviewed two divisions which had especially distinguished themselves"
 Emperor William, according to a Berlin dispatch, has addressed the fol- lowing manifesto to Dr. von Hertling, the imperial chancellor:
 The reichsbank report for 1917 shows the splendid state of our money market and the strength of the resist ance of our economic life. This un- paralleled success we certainly owe above all to victories which the Divine Grace has bestowed upon our leaders and upon the fighters of our army and fleet.
 T am glad to be able to express this, coming fresh from the battle field and under the impression by oul irresistible advance. We are con- | quering militarily and economically and we have before us, though not ar easy, a strong future"

AMERICANS BAR PATH TO PARIS CONFIDENT
 OF HALTING GERMANS
OUR INFANTRY MOVED INTO POSITION UNDER INTENSE ARTILLERY FIRE
 WITH BANDS PLAYING AND MEN
 MARCHING AS IF ON PARADE.

With the American Forces in Northern France, Sunday, April 28-(By the Associated Press) American troops have talk en up positions on the battle front. Under the French high command, in which all ranks have supreme confidence, the American forces face the en- emy on the line barring the Germans from Paris and .Amiens, where they have been for some days.
 Announcement that American troops had entered the Allied line in Picardy east of Amiens was made by the Paris war office last Wednesday night. The Germans that day attacked the Brit ish, French and Americans along lengthy front from north of the Somme to below Castel. Particularly stubborn fighting occurred around Hangard from which the French were driven, but part of which they re- gained Friday.
 A Paris dispatch on Thursday an- nounced that more than 100 wounded Americans had reached Paris hos pitals from the battle front.
 The Americans, on entering the line, found their position in a rolling terrain. The artillery was the first on the line, entering on a dark night which was made red by the continu- ous flashes off friendly and hostile guns Under fire that in some cases was rather heavy. the American gun ners took up the positions of the Frenchb atteries and complete the work of digging in.
 When the infantry moved in the firing was just as intense. In some places our troops after passing througs villages were raked now and then with shrapnel. In several in stances they found the trenches shal- low, while in other cases there were no trenches at all. By this time the positions have been improved greatly and the shell holes have been con- nected.

BARON COTO IS INSTALLED IN
 JAP MINISTRY

Tokyo, Tuesday, April 23.---By The Associated Press )---Baron Shimpei Goto was Installed today as foreign minister in succession to Baron Mo tono, resigned. Baron Goto was min- ister of the interior in the Terauchi cabinet and the vacancy created in that portfolio has been filled by the appointment to the post of Rentaro Mizuno.
 Baron Goto announced to represent atives that he would follow the policy of the putgoing minister.
 The succession of Baron Goto to the foreign portfolio may prevent disso- lution of the cabinet. There is no reason to suppose that the slightest change in the general international policies of the government will re- suit. His succession, it is expected, will insure the continuance of the Eson-party administration. 1 He has been an able supporter of the triedliest cooperation with China and an opponent of interference in Chinas domestic affairs. He is not an advocate of intervention in Rus sian affairs.

FOE STARTS GENERAL
 ATTACK ON POSITIONS
 ALONG KENNEL FRONT
CRUCIAL TEST OF ALLIED POWER TO. HOLD FOE IS AT HAND IN REGION SOUTHWEST OF YPRES-BRTTISH
 IN NIGHT RECAPTURE GROUND.

The Germans today began what seems to oabe a general as- sault on the British hill posi- tions on the Kennel front southwest of Ypres, opening a new phase of the great drive in Flanders. Apparently the cru cial test of the Allied holding power in this area is at hand.
 The preliminary lombard ment, started in the early morning, took in a 10 mile front from Meteren, west of Bailleul, to Voormezeele, two miles south of Ypres.
 Infantry attacks in this area de- veloped shortly afterward and the battle appears to have been on ill earnest when Field Marshal Haigs report was issued in London at noon
 The enemy has been striking with SI0dl 1uIy dl OO1 1lGh6GI0 1OE IuO last two or three days evidently hop ing to drive in behind Ypres and break up the orderly withdrawal of the British from the further portions of the Ypres salient which they have been evacuating. Gen. Won Arnim has been successfully held off from this southern bulwark of the salient, but meanwhile he has been preparing to take advantage of the cussess he won last week in the capture of Mount Kemmel which he was un- able to develop immediately because Of the stiff Allied resistance.
 Further attacks in the Voormezeele sector may accompany the delivery of today's blow, but the greatest force of this thrust seems likely to mani fest itself in the vicinity of Locre, where Scharpenberg, Mont Rouge, Mont Notre and other eminences are the enemy objectives. The French, who are holding the line at Locre, fortified themselves late last week by clinging to this village, although more than once driven out by savage thrusts. Another attack was launch (Continued on page p

The German government, the state department's dispatches said, is send ing to Russia a commission Of ll5 members to present the German de- mands.
 The German demand, as outlined, calls for the immediate release Of all German prisoners who are in good health; that those who are sick shall remain in Russia under the care Of neutral physicians and that the Ger mans on their side will release only those Russian prisoners that are sick or are incapacitated.
 A statement expressing the opinion that "any counter revolutionary move ment in Russia must inevitably rely on the German military power to maintain itself,'' was issued here to- day by the Finish information bureau, which claims to represent the Fin land Reds" associated with the Rus sian soviet government.
 'The great mass of the Russian people stands solidly behind the Rus sian soviets,' the statement adds, 'aIl the forces of reaction in Russia are scheming and praying for German victory and a German peace to re- enthrone autocracy. If the counter revolution succeeds it will give the German junker group new Vassal ally with immeasurable potential re- serves"
