AMERICANS AID
IN HOLDING HUNS
BACK IN P|CARDY
Sammies and PoiIus Fighting
Shoulder to Shoulder on Sec
tors of Front Hard Pressed
During German Drive.
(Ry Associated Press.l

Reference in the official statement
issued by the French war office last
night definitely locates the American
troops which were moved from the
southern sectors of the battle line to
parts of the front which were hard
pressed during the great German
drive through Picardy. 1t has been
known that they were somewhere in
the battle area since April 6, when
Stephen Pinchon, foreign minister of
France, speaking at Paris, spoke of
the Americans fighting in Picardy
and sacrificing their lives to drive the
enemy from our land"
On April 10 dispatches from both
the French and British headquarters
in France reported the arrival of
American troops. This was prior to
the time when the French extended
their lines far to the north of Mont
didier. The French official statement
indicates that the Americans did not
move to the north when the British
forces were replaced by the French,
but held the positions to which they
were originally assigned.

TEN MILLION TONS
OF SHIPPING TO Be
BUILT NEXT YEAR
U. S. to Top All Records of
Construction in 1919 and
Increase to Be Continued
in 1920.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, April 24.-The ship
ping board has decided on a sub
stantial increase in its building pro-
gram for 1919 over the tonnage
planned for this year and indications
are that the increase will be continued
in 1920.
For military reasons the exact size
of the future building program was
not made public. From previous
statements of Chairman Hurley, how
ever. it has been estimated that the
construction in 1919 will be in excess
of 100000 tons, the largest amount
ever built in any one year by any
nation.
OF the total tonnage next year, ap-
proximately 100000 tons will be
steel. Thirty-hve OF the yards build
ing steel ships and 258 of the ways
are on the Atlantic and gulf coasts,
and 10 yards and GO ways are on the
Pacific.
1t is expected that 2,500000 tons
Of wooden ships will be turned out
next year, virtually all on the gulf
and Pacific coasts.
Must Develop Foreign Trade.
New York, April z4.-"Un1ess we
continue to develop our foreign trade
after the war, we can have no endur-
ing prosperity" was the warning given
tonight by Chairman Hurley of the
shipping board, in discussing at
testimonial dinner to Isaac F. Mar
cosson. magazine writer, the future
of the vast merchant marine which
America is building.
Mr.. Hurley paid tribute to the serv-
ices of writing men in the war, who,
he said, have been tremendous
factors in the conflict"
IF there are any men among you
who doubt that we are going to have
a vast fleet" Mr.. Hurley said, Il will
simply ask you whethere you have
heard of we'll known man in our
whose name is Charles
M. Schwab."
1--WE are building ships not alone
for the war, but for the future of
world trade" the chairman continued.
The immediate problem is first to
transport men and supplies to Europe,
put it must not be forgotten that the
ines of supply do not originate
wholly in the United States, but are
ed by streams of imports of raw
material derived chiefly from the mar
Iets of Latin-American and Asia.

100000 more than the total announced
last night. The average daily sub
scriptions necessary until the end of
the campaign are $l20,000,000 to make
the $3,OO0,000000 and $320,000000 to
make the $5,000,000,000.
The Minneapolis and St. Louis fed
eral reserve districts were officially
reported tonight as having subscribed
lO3 and l02 per cent, respectively, of
their quotas and headquarters recog-
nized the claim of the St. Louis dis
trict of having gone over the top
first
The Kansas City district claims that
unofficial reports from banks show
that the district has attained its quota
of $l30,0O0,000 and that the offisial
figures will prove this in few days.

Washington, April IA dispatch
from Paris today relates American
air exploits as follows:
Major William Thaw, commander
of the Lafayette squadron, on April
20 scored splendid double victory,
bringing down in turn a Drachen and
a monoplane. These two victories
permit him to be enrolled among the
prize aviators. Since he assumed the
command of the glorious unit he
seems to have particularly distin-
guished himself. Since March 27 he
has already triumphed over his third
adversary. Major Thaw evidently
wishes to set an example and many
of his compatriots will take their
places within short time among the
air champions. Notable among them
are Captain Biddle, Lieutenant Baer,
nine victories, four of which were Of
fetal in the space of 43 days, and Ser
geant Baylies.

HOLD HILLS.

BRITONS HOLD HILLS.
Villers- -Bretonneux is about II miles
directly east of Amiens and is on ths
northern end Of the latest fighting
front. 1t is situated between the
Somme and Luce rivers, and while il
is fanked on the south by low lying
ground, it Is backed by rolling hills to
the west and northwest.
The fighting on the rest Of the front
where the Germans have resumed
their drive toward the allied base of
supplies in northern France has not,
SO far as known. resulted in any
notable retirements on the part of the
allies. The German official report IS
sued Wednesday was silent as to
events in this sector of the front.
Offensive Foreseen.
An attack on this particular part OF
the line in the Somme region had
been expected and it is probable that
preparations to meet it had been
made. The British lines held firm in
this region during the last days of.
the initial drive, while the Germans
were able to forge ahead further south
until they reached the village OF
CasteL about three miles from the
railroad running to Paris from
Amiens. Recently French counter
offensive at Castel won back consider
able ground and it was evident unless
the line further north could be ad-
vanced materially the Germans had
little chance to make important gains
in their operations to the south of
AmienS.
Blow Struck at Ypres.
This new drive has been made at
the same time that another blow has
been struck at the British and French
lines northwest of Ypres. Savage
fighting is reported at various points
along the line from Bailleul to Mer-
ville and Berlin claims that heights
to the northeast of Bailleul have been
stormed. Coincident with these at
tacks, there have been assaults in the
British forces near Bethune, along the
Lave river, but these have been re-
pulsed.
On the front in France, with the ex-
ception Of the Sommc salient, there
has been little fighting OF all unusual
nature.

GERMANSAND
DUTCH BREAK.
RELATIONS.
Teuton Minister Leaves The
Hague for Berlin and Dutch
Minister Also Is Home
ward Bound.
(By Associated Press.)

Amsterdam, April 24.-The Het-
volk announces that the German
minister to The Netherlands has left
The Hague for Berlin and that the
Dutch minister to Germany is on his
way from Berlin to The Hague.
The Berlin correspondent OF
Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant, is in
formed by a person in authority that
difficulties have arisen in the negotia-
tions between Germany and Holland,
and that the negotiations are not
making headway.
The Hague correspondent of the
Handelsblad says that the question
of the transport of sand and gravel
and the use of the railway line
through Limbourg depends entirely
on the intentions of Germany. The
correspondent adds that the Dutch
government will firmly observe neu-
trality, whatever happens.
Washington in Dark.
Washington, April 24.-Washing-
ton was without any official informa-
ton tonight to throw light on the sit
uation between Germany and Holland,
and officials and diplomats could only
speculate on reports that Germany
had delivered an ultimatum to The
Netherlands government demanding
the movement of war supplies through
Dutch territory.
If the Amsterdam report that the
Dutch ministry has departed for The
Hague and the German minister is
on his way to Berlin, apparently the
step short of breaking diplomatic
relations has been taken.
Attacks Anger U. S.
Washington, April 24.-The United
States is prepared to withdraw its re-
cent offer of three ships to expedite
grain to Holland, if the comment of
Dutch newspapers, accusing the
United States of duplicity in the con-
dition that equal tonnage should leave
Dutch harbors for America, is to be
taken as Indicative of the feeling OF
the Netherlands government and peo-
pie.
Officials today expressed disap-
pont1nent ard surprise at the recep-
ton accorded the offer of the United
States, which was based on a pro-
Dosal of the Dutch government to
alleviate suffering from shortage of
oreadstuffs. The offer was supple
nentary to President Wilson's state
nent of March 20, when the Dutch
ships were requisitioned, that 100000
:ons of gral. would be provided for
if ships were sent to carry it.
If Holland does not desire to take
advantage of the offer to expedite
he grain, the original offer to fur
lish grain still holds, but the time
in sending ships from Hol-
and to America will delay the relief
he United >'tates is ready to grant. |

Budapest, Hungary, April 24.-Dr.
Wekerle, Hungarian premier, ex-
planned today in the Hungarian lower
house that the cabinet had resigned
because it had become doubtful
whether it would be authorized to dis
solve parliament in order to carry
through the suffrage reform measure.
Emperor Charles, the premier said,
had accepted the designations of the
ministry, but had asked the ministers
to conduct affairs until the appoint
ment of a new cabinet.
