GERMANS STALLED
AGAIN IN ATTACKS
ON BRITISH LINES
Battle Slows Down to Dead
Stop Similar to Picardy
Drive-SIain and Wreckage
Litter Path of TeutonS
BY WILLIAM PHILIP srHEnzs

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, April 15.-Despite the most
desperate efforts to progress toward
their first goal the Germans apparently
are stalled. Hazebrouck. Bailleul, Aire,
Lilliers and Bethune are still in pos
session Of the British. --......'.--
The German blows are growing more
feeble while the allied resistance is
strengthening.
The battle has slowed down practi-
cally to a dead stop, similar to the
Picardy drive after the frSt week.
Though the first phase seemingly has
ended, the fighting continues and un-
doubtedly VIII not cease for some time.
But another critical period has been
put behind the allies. who are awaiting
further onslaughts undismayed.
Part of Won Arnims fourth army and
practically all Of Won Quast's sixth
army, comprising more than twenty di-
visions (240.000 mem. have been bloodi-
ly checked.
The British were the first to admit
the seriousness of the German assault,
but scattered over thc 100 square miles
of the Lys battlefield the German dead
reveal the price
Dead men and horses and smashed
transports litter the approaches to
Bethune, st. Venant, Merville, Bailleul
and Nedve- Fglise as proof of the PROV
ess Of the British artillery, machine
guns and low-1ying airplanes. Bridges
have been smashed almost as fast as
the German engineers could rebuild
them. Paved and macadamized roads are
so shell-pitted, prisoners say, as to rem
der the difficulties in bringing up guns
and ammunition almost insuperable.
The enemy troops are subsisting on iron
rations Tin the American army this
consists of bacon. hard tack and Coffee,
kitchen carts having been unable to fol-
low them for two days.
Won Stains divisions yesterday, after
the stiffest struggle, won a few hun

Won Ebereds storm troops broke down
under hot British fire west of Neuve-
Eglise after a slight advance. Won
Kraewelrs attempt to retake positions
north Of Festubert failed with heavy
losses Northeast of Robecq. the British
captured a position on the Clarence
riN er.
The battle has thus been reduced to
a patchy struggle. The sky is overcast

JUDGE BRUCE MADE
EXCELLENT ADDRESS

The patriotic address given by Chief
Justice Andrew A. Bruce, of North
Dakota. at the high school gymnasium
on Tuesday evening, was, in our
opinion. the best address Of the kind
ever made in our city. There was not
the usual fireworks and blarins of
rrumpetS that usually characterize
such speeches. but there were good
sound common sense arguments that
appealed to the mind as we'll as the
heart of those who heard him. Judge
Bruce had been sent to speak for the
Liberty Loan but he said very little
about that. holding that if a persons

liberty and justice for which the
United States entered the war. are
rightly understood, then the purchase
OF Liberty Bonds and support of the
Red Cross. the y. NJ C. 4. and Other
war activities would naturally follow
He did not blame those who have come
from foreign shores for loving the land
OF their birth. as it was indeed COM
mendable trait, just as much as it is
for a married man to retain a love for
his mother while at the same time he
loves his wife and children. But there
may come situations in life when a
married man may have to choose be-
tween whom he is to give his affec-
lions. his mother or his own wife and
children. and no good husband will
hesitate as to where his duty lies.
And it is so in the nation. Good citi-
zens of foreign birth will not hesitate
as to which country is entitled to their
loyalty and support at such critical
time as the present. An urgent plea
was made for all to show their loyalty
by getting behind the government to
the end that the war may be Won
