German-American Alliance
Is Greatest Internal Enemy
So Declares H. c. Campbell, of Milwaukee
Journal-Quotes Anti-American Utter
ances of Its Former President

More indictments Of anti-American-
ism were brought yesterday against
Herr DR.. C. ]. Hexamer, until re-
Gently president of the National Ger
man-American Alliance.
Henry c. Campbell, assistant editor
of the Milwaukee Journal, testified be-
fore the subcommittee considering the
bill to dissolve the alliance that DR..
Hexamer said last March:
Hexamer Says Republic Failure.
This form of government is a fall
ure, and the only correct form of
government is a constitutional mon
archy"
In November. 1915. he was quoted as
saying:
I'VE have never had so miserable,
weakened and contemplate an ad-
ministration as the present"
Past political activities of the ma
tional and state branches of the al
lance were traced by DIR. Campbell
Like Gustavus Ohlinger, of Toledo,
Campbell used much that has already
been written in newspapers and mag
azines.
He alleged that "one Of the weapons"
Germany uses here are her exchange
professors in American universities.
Before the war they spread Ger
man propaganda; now they try to dis
rupt united Americanism," he said.
They are in very close communion
with the National German-American

KAISER WATCHES BATTLE
FOR CAPTURE OF KENNEL

ent telegraphs, his majesty posted him
self on an advanced field position which
gives a view over the range of heights
southwest of Ypres and which in the
early morning light. positively shook
under the roar of our tremendous gun
fire. This thunderous gun chorus, the
CLEAN of falling shells in the still misty
uplands, the thick line of smoke which
Law dark bars across the horizon-all
composed a studendous picture of a
modern battle.
Every stage of the battle-the ad-
vance Of the rolling curtain of fire, the
storming of the infantry and the ebbing
of the fire-could be exactly followed.
Gradually the wires brought the first
news announcing the success.
THE emperor, who was surrounded
by the suite of the commander of one
of the enemies, personally marked all
the results on the maps. He remained
absorbed in the conteplation of this war
picture until the late afternoon. Then,
returning to headquarters, he reviewed
two divisions which had especially dis
tinguished themselves.

War Workers Saved

LONDON, April ga party of fifty

last night. The ship on which they
sailed was torpedoed yesterday morn

THE Americans behaved like veter-

in launching the life boats and handling
them" one Of the officers of the ship told
the Associated Press.
Two of the members of the crew were
caught below and went down with the
ship. The third man was the ships

The discipline on board the ship was

British Send Up S. o. S.
Call From Three Points
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SHINES

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FLANDERS, April 29.-The French IN
the KENNEL region, who were heavily
shelled all last night, reported a vio-
lient bombardment beginning early to-
day.
Later an S. o. S. signal, indicating
an attack and calling on the artillery
for support, went up from this part of
the line.
Two similar calls came from the re-
gion of Ypres and later from Locre.
At o'clock this morning the Ger
mans began a hurricane bombardment
Of the British and French lines from
Ypres southwark to the Lys.
Various allied divisions sent up S. o.
S. rockets.

traordinarily intense. The Germans

Hindenburg Trying to
CAPTURE Flanders Hills

NEW YORK, April 29.-(Summary of
European Cables to the Associated
Press 1.-The Germans today began what
seems to be a general assault on the
British hill positions on the KENNEL
front, southwest of Ypres, opening a
new phase of the great drive in Elan
ders. Apparently the crucial test of
the allied holding power in this area
is at hand.
The preliminary bombardment, started
in the early morning, took in a ten-mile
front from Meteren, west of Bailleul,
to NoormeZeele, two miles south Of
Ypres. Infantry attacks in this area
developed shortly afterward and the bat
tie appears to have been in earnest
when Field Marshal Haigss report was
issued in London at noon
The enemy has been striking with
great fury at FOormezeele for the last
two or three days, evidently hoping to
drive in behind Tpres and break up the
orderly withdrawal of the British from,
the further portions Of the Ypres saliert'
which they have been evacuating Gen
eral Won Arnim has been successfully
held of from this southern bulwark OF
the salient, but meanwhile he has been
preparing to take advantage of the sue
cess he won last week in the capture
Of Mount KENNEL, which he was unable
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 manifest
itself in the vicinity Of Locre, where
Sharpenburg. Mount Rouge, Mont Note
and other eminencies are the enemy OBJ
jectives. The French, who are holding
the line at Locre, fortified themselves
late last week by clinging to this viii
lage, although more than once driven
out by savage thrusts. Another attack
which was launched there yesterday aft
ernoon was promptly repulsed.
Probably to mask their real purpose
the Germans last night heavily lombard
ed the southern portion of the Lys bat
tie front from Givenchy to Nieppe and
likewise turned, their artillery loose on
the front between Lens and Arras, fur
Their south. No infantry attacks have
been reported in these sectors except
on the part of the British, who, by
successful coup last night. recaptured
the post taken from them last week near
Festubert, north of Givenchy.
AS in the case of the last previous
heavy assault in Flanders the Germans
have also been demonstrating on the
Somme front, although not in such forcs
as was the case last week. They drove
several times last night at the French
positions in Hangard wood, however,
and heavily bombarded this sector north
to Villers-Bretonneux The infantry at
tacks were brought up by the French fire
and the allied artillery vigorously an
swered the German guns in this region
and between Lassigny and Noyon, on
the lower side of the Montdidier sa-

HOLLAND YIELDS To

LONDON. April 2s.-Holland has
yielded to Germany's demands concern
ing transport and the supply of sand

that the amount of sand and gravel
will be limited instead Of unlimited.
according to a dispatch from The Hague

added that a general undertaking will
be required from Germany that the
sand and gravel will not be used for
military purposes.
Rumors are current in the Dutch cap

the supposition that he could not re-
