The opening Of the third week cf

view, "finds the position of the Allies

"A very strong effort by the enc

miles was stopped last week with
complete success.
Beats OFF Attacks.
North of Albert the British ad-

HUN ATTACK BROKEN UP

With the American Army in
France, April S.-A large German
patrol attempted a surprise attack
on the American outposts in the SEC
tor northwest Of Toul early this
morning, but was dispersed without
being able to reach any Of the Ame-
rican positions.
A corporal in a listening post saw
the Germans approaching, He wait
ed until they were within few yards
and then challenged. The. enemy
answered with rife fire; whereupon
the American outposts opened with
heavy machine gun and automatic
fire, scattering the Germans and driv-
ing them back to their own lines.
A violent artillery duel went on all
through the night along the whole
length of the American front. The
Germans threw more shells into
the American positions than
in any similar period of
the past few months. The Ameri-
can batteries replied vigorously.

THE RED CROSS

Ihat the American Red Cross is the
greatest boon to humanity and one OF
the most marvellous of all Amer AN
achievements is the opinion of King
George V, of England, as expressed
in an interview with Henry P. David
son, chairman Of the Red Cross War
Council, who is now in England.
The appropriation Of $1,00O.OOO
which was made last October by the
Red Cross for work in England, he
went on to say, aroused the enthusi-
| asm of the whole nation, coming as it
did, not from the government, but IA
gift from The American people. lie
also declared that one of the mott
amazing things of the war was til.
fact that the American Red Cross
had raised $100,00O,O00 in one week.
when the British Red Cross had suc-
ceeded in raising only 100000, 900
during the entire period of the war.
The King, according to Mr.. Davi,'-
sons report, possesses an intimate
| knowledge of American affairs ard
4 conditions, and made the statement
nat 1t is the wish Of every man in
England that through the close ass,-
;iiation of American and England in
this war the two nations and two peo.
'tcs would get to know each otAe.
better and, as result of common 9.
crifice, to realize more than ever
their need Of one another and the
benefits to civilization which mu,
sarise from a perfect understanding q
among all the great Anglo-Saxon pea,
plcs Of the world.

NEW GERMAN ATTACK
ALONG SHORT FRONT

!, AS had been anticipated the Ger
mans have switched the center of
their main operations from the Ami
ems sector and are hamm-ring the
British and Portuguese hard over a
front Of about IL miles running
from Givenchy and La Basse to the
vicinity of Amentieres.
The attack was preceded by a ter
rifle bombardment all along the line
and the countryside for miles around
trembled under the conclusion of the
big gums. At some points the enemy
was able to penetrate advanced ele-
ments of the British line, especially
in the neighborhood of Neuve Cha
pelle, Fauquissart and the Carbon
nerie Farm.
Meanwhile all along that part of
the old line south of Arras extremely
heavy artillery duels were in pro-
gress but infantry of both sides kept
to their trenches except for isolated
attacks. Near the Coucy forest and
Coucy-Chauteau the French have
made slight retirement to positions
previously prepared-the maneuver
apparently being in the nature of
line Strengthening. So we'll was the
operation covered by French guns
that the Germans suffered extreme
ly heavy casualties.
Details of the part played by Ame-
rican railway engineers in the open
ing stages of the battle -outh of a
ras show that dropping their too,
and taking up arms, they fought side
by side with Canadian engineers am
inflicted casualties by the thousands
on the Germans.
Realizing the extremely critical
Situation from The standpoint of nan
power, David Lloyd George, the Prit-
ish minister, has Informed the house
OF commons in a speech that it was
impossible longer to exclude Ireland
from the provisions of conscription
and that the age for military service
would be raised to SO years.
There is still no indication of the
near approach of the expected big
battle on the Italian front although
the artillery engagements at various
points are increasing in intensity.
Well directed shots from the Italian
guns in the Asiago basin have worked
havoc with Austrian ammunition de-
pots and also started fires inside the
enemy lines.
A Turkish official communication
announces the capture by the Turks
of Van, in Turkish Armenia.
In Finland the Germans are pre-
pairing to take Helsingfors, according
to a dispatch from Petrograd. They
already have demanded the dissrma-
ment Of the forts in Finland and of
Russian warships in Finnish waters.
The landing of Japanese troops at
Vladivostok is apparently causing
friction between the Russian Bolshe-
vik government and Japan. Nikolai
Lenine, the Bolshevik premier, in a
speech at Mascow asserted that Rus
sia possibly would have to declare
war on japan as the result of the
landing of the Japanese.

then. In the meantime, he said, I
ought to have a rest, and my owner
ought to lay me aside against the
day when l will be worth more"
"lhat isn't bad idea." observed
our editor.

some Of Us Bills must go for foou
