MUST HAVE AMIENS

LONDON, April pa German
officer who was taken prisoner last
night by the British declared that
the German commanders had re-
ceived orders to take Amiens today,
regardless of sacrifice, and he said
that preparations had been made to
deliver the full blow south of Arras.
Field Marshal Haig's report to the
war office this morning stated that
German troops had made a deter
mined attack along the Messines
ridge and had succeeded in gaining
some ground there. They held it
only a short time, however, the Brit
ish having launched a counter at
tack of such violence as to force the
enemy from the elevated positions.
Three attacks which the enemy
launched this morning near Vile
Chappelle, using great waves of
troops, were repulsed by the British
with immense losses to the Germans.
The reports state that the ground
was strewn with corpes after the
Germans had been forced to retire.
Great artillery activity has de-
veloped in the southern area, herald
ing further infantry action in that
quarter. The Bray-Corbie road is
being shelled heavily this afternoon.

NEW EQUIPMENT
IS COMING SOON
FOR ROAD WORK
Big Locomotives and Flat Cars
Expected On Early Boats
From Outside.

Among the more important items
of equipment which the Alaskan
Engineering commission expect, for
construction work on the govern
ment railroad, during the coming
season, are, two standard guage
locomotives of a much heavier type
than the 27O and 272, which are
now in use on the line south of
town; and forty additional flat cars.
These formed part of the equip
ment used in building the Panama
canal.
A new and up-to-date ditching
machine, which could be utilized as
Ia steam shovel or piledriver, will
also arrive with the rest of the
heavy equipment. The ditcher will
be used primarily in making the
necessary excavations for the elab-
crate drainage scheme. planned by
the engineering staff, to be put in
at various points along the line,
but whenever necessary to do so,
it will also be used as a steam shovel
or for driving piles.
For use on the Tanana Valley
railroad, a new and very powerful
type of narrow guage locomotive
is also due. II will probably be
set up at the yards here and be used
to take the first through train from
Nenana to Fairbanks.
All of the aforementioned equip
ment will arrive in Nenana on one
of the first boats to reach here
after the opening of navigation.

GRIM STRUGGLE

LONDON, April 12.-Advices re-
ceived this afternoon from the Arras-
Ypres battlefront state that the Ger
man drive has settled down to a
grim death struggle to determine
whether or not the German man
power is strong enough to make the
threat to annihilate the British army
or force its capitalization by killing
off most of the British soldiers dur
ing the next few weeks. To &C
complish this, the British claim that
the Germans will find themselves
hard pressed to find new men to
take the places of the many soldiers
they will lose during the struggle.

THE SUMMARY.

With the British Army, April II.
Swinging their heaviest legions and
highest guns to the north of the
Picardy battlefields, the Germans
are driving attack after attack
against the British lines between
Arras and Ypres, charging across
the level country in the wake of a
heavy barrage, consisting of high
explosives and gas shells. The Ger
mans have succeeded in penetrating
the British defenses at various points
over frontage of nearly thirty
miles and to a depth of almost six
miles. The deepest dent in the Brit
ish lines has occurred just south of
Ypres.
In explanation of the loss of Ar
mentieres, the British state that the
Germans had pressed the line hard
on both sides of the town and if it
had been held longer, the entire
British line would have been i'm
periled.
