OUTSIDE HELP
 AIDED ESCAPE:

That Cole Evans and J. l.. McLauSh lin who escaped from the convict road camp more than q week ago, were given aid from friends in this city is the belief of the authorities who have investigated the matter.
 No trace has been found of the long term bootleggers who are believed to have made their escape into Mexico. It is understood that Evans being in the draft age, reckoned that he would have to account for himself lad he remained in the Unitec States and that he crossed the line and is TOW fugi- tive in old Mevico
 It is said that the foreman of the road camp established on the Black Canyon road in violation of orders, permitted visitors in camp. It appears that there were frequent visitors for Evans and that his last visitors brought him a suit of clothes from town and that he had the new outfit on when he walked out of camp, with Mclaughlin, in broad daylight. That he stepped into a waiting automobile is the opinion of the investigators who have been unable to figure out the route taken by the men who cleverly effected a getaway.

CUBAN STATEMENT
 AS CLEAR AS MUD

WASHINGTON. May 27.-Official announcements today from the Cuban state department and the Cuban lega- ton here that Mexico's withdrawal of her minister at Havana does not con- stitute break in diplomatic relations between the two countries, have only added to mystification of officials and diplomats who are looking for Mex ico's real motive. The withdrawal of minister is q measure short of a break in diplomatic relations in rela- lively the same way as the latter is a measure short of war.
 So far the American governm ,n.s only information is the text of the of- ficial statement of the Mexican for eign office forwarded by Ambassador 1 Fletcher. The Mexican ambassador a | Washington has not communicated
 with the state department at all on the
 subject.
 | The United States being in a large measure responsible for Cubas foreign relations, is watching the situation l very carefully. Meanwhile it was stated officially today that relations l between the United States and Mex l ico were entirely unchanged

FINE PROGRAM
 MUCH ENJOYED

An exceptional musical program was given last evening by pupils of the Arizona School of Music which re- fiected credit of a high order on the teachers of the several pupils who took part.
 Miss Agnes 5. Griffin, the twelve year-old child pianist, demonstrated unusual talent in ali her numbers, es- pecially in the Chopin, "Schergo,' and the Liszt. Hungarian Rhapsody.
 Miss Edith Liebenow, a very talented pupil of the violin class, displayed ad- mirable talent and was greeted with hearty applause. Her beautiful tone and musical interpretation was thor oughly appreciated in her best num- bers, the "Cavatina" by Carl Bohm and Gypsy Life,' by Keller Beld.
 Miss Clara Wilky, of the vocal class has a fine meZzo soprano voice and is endowed with a sweet sympathetic personality. Her singing of the num- Der from Samson and Delilah.' My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice" was en- joyable. Mrs. T. J. Prescott and Mrs Charles ". Ferry accompanied at the piano and helped to make the program success.

FRENCH STAND FIRM
 IN FACE 0F ATTACK
Republican A. p, Leased Wirel

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE. May 27.-CBy the Associa ted Press) a heavy offensive at dawn today against the French in the Locre- -Voormezeele sector. the Germans failed of their objectives at virtually all points. At some points the defending patrols were driven in, but in vigorous attacks threw the Germans back at most places. Virtu- ally the entire French line was re- established
 Hard fighting at this hour continues on the northern part of the battle front. Just south of Dickebusch lake, the Germans forced their way into the French line for a distance of 500 yards and also got into the front line system at another point in this region. In both these places the enemy was clinging desperately to his newly ac- quired positions, but the French were dealing with the situation. which ap- peared to be satisfactory at the latest reports. One hundred prisoners al- ready have been sent back to the French cages.
 Today's attack was perhaps prelim- mary to larger operations and appar- ently has been undertaken for the pur- pose of regaining the high ground which the French wrested from the enemy on May 20.

 The Germans advanced fifty strong in the center, 160 on the right and 12O on the left. They were driven off speedily and left many dead in front of the American trenches.
 The assaults were preceded by viol- ent bombardments of the entire Amer ican line during which it is estimated ten thousand projectiles many of them gas shells were fired by the enemy.
 For a time there was fierce hard to- hand fighting. The Germans took one American prisoner, but our forces pur- sued the enemy and rescued him.
 The American artillery did remark able work in helping to turn the Ger man raid into q victory for the de- defenders.
 The bravery of the Americans may be illustrated bv the case of a private whose arm was blown off. DaZed, he kept on fighting and did not know he had been injured until comrade came to his aid.

LONDON, May 27.-The Reuter- cor respondent at headquarters In France described the German bombardments as scarcely less violent than that which heralded the German offensive on March 21. Gas shells were employed in great qualities and the lombard ment and infantry attacks between Soissons and Rheims were on q more formidable scale than in Flanders.
 The Germans. according to this correspondent, employed their familiar formations-dense waves of infantry following closely in the wake of a lifting barage and they pushed fresh troops up with characteristic reck- lessness.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, May 27.-It was learned here today that the master of British steamer which came into port last Wednesday reported that he had fired five shots at a submarine 150 miles off the Virginia Capes.
 Navy department officials said to- night there was nothing to indicate the presence of enemy submarines on this side of the. Atlantic. They thought the British ships which reported at New port News firing at a submarine 15e miles off the Virginia capes, probably had sighted a bit of wreckage or some other floating object.
