the British official report from
Field Marshal Haig today follows:
Continuous pressure was main
tsined by the enemy all day yester-
day against the British troops en-
gagged on the AiSne front. and Sc
we're fighting is still taking place
on the whole front of the British
sector.
Toward the end of the day the
weight of the enemy's attacks car
ried his troops across the river
Aisne to the west of the British
sector and compelled the left OF
our line to fall back. The enemy
is developing his attacks in great
strength along the whole OF the
AiSne battle front.
"On the Lys front local fighting
was recommended this morning in
the area east of Dickebusche lake.
"On the remainder of the British
front a number of prisoners have

WIRELESS PLANT
IN MEXICO CITY
TAPS GERMANY
Huns Suspected in Rebuilding
of Mexican Radio SYSTEM

FL PASO, Texas.-Only the recep-
ton and installation OF powerful
transmittcr is lacking to complete Mex
ico's powerful wireless plant on the hill
in Chapultepec park, City OF Mexico
and give il radius OF communication
with Naucn Germany. Paris and Lon
don, as well as with Sayville and Arl-
ington, on the east coast of the United
States San Francisco on the west.
and San Salvador on the south.
This statement was made BY lgnacio
Galindo, technical director OF the Mex
ican federal telegraph lines, in the ma
tional capital a few days ago, and IS
interesting at this time, owing to the
decision OF American telephone COM
pany officials to restore telephone con
ncction across the Mxeican border in
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona which
was cut for a few days at some points
because OF reports that German secret
agents were sending information to
Mexican border towns by telephone.
Fourteen Wireless Stations.
Director Galndo said to a visitor
that the purpose of rebuilding and en-
larging the Chapultepcc radio plant,
which is under way and contcmplates
the raising OF the three towers to a
height of AS feet above ground, or
nearly 5000 feet higher than sea level,
is to perfect communication between
the other fourteen wireless stations
operated by the Carranza government.
They are situated at Tampco, Tux
pam, Vera Cruz, Campeche, Payo,
Obspo, lxcalak, Oaxaoa, Acapulco,
Mazatlan. Chihuahua Guaymas, san
Jose del Cabo, Santa Rosalia, and sal
tillo.
The most powerful of the interior
stations are those Of Chihuahua, the
towers of which are 800 feet in height,
and Saltllo more than $50 feet high
Mr.. Galindo explained that the instru-
ments used at the stations were of
various manufacture, the "Teleiunk-
en-" German and the De Forest Ameri-
can systems being among the best He
said that if electrical apparatus could
be constructed in Mexico City, COM
lNulllN NdllbU WIN Lul bDCdll Nldllbun
would be easy, but admitted that ma
terals for construction were not easy
of purchase at present because OF the
rulings OF the war trade board OF the
United States.
See German Influence.
Mr. Gaindo said that communica-
ton was made between the Chapultcpec
plant and those at Havana, Cuba, and
San Salvador, Central America, the
latter having towers more than 200
feet high He regarded the improve
ment of the wireless system through
out Mexico as necessary, because OF
the run down condition of land wire
lines, preventing quick communica.
ton between distant points. He said
tthe Carranza government contemplated
installing Marconi instruments in new
stations, among which Guadalajara
was mentioned.
This information is eorroboratiye OF
a length statement given by an Ameri-
can woman who recently reached Al
buquerque, N. M, from Guanajuanto
Mexico, and told of the Chapultepec
radio plant and others and the con
nection that Germans in Mexico had
with the extension Of the system.

WASHINGTON, May 28-The
text of General Pershing's official
communique TO the war department
today, follows:
In Picardy before daylight this
morning the enemy, after a violent
bombardment with high explosives
and gas. attacked our advanced po-
Sitions in three detachments. In
TWO places he penetrated small
points on our front Shortly after
ward our troops unter-attacked,
expelled the Germans at all points
and occupied part of the German
trenches. Heavy losses were in
flicted on the enemy and some
prisoners were taken. Our casu-
alties we're light In one case, an
American was taken prisoner but
was rescued by counter attacks and
all OF his captors were killed. Our
troops displayed a fine offensive
spirit at all times and have
achieved a notable success.
During the early hours Of the
morning in the Woevre, a hostile
force, supported by violent artil-
lery fire, attempted a raid upon our
lines. This force. which was com
posed OF three officers and about
100 men, well equipped, with light
machine guns, blew up our wires
and attempted to capture portions
of our trenches They were COM
pletely repulsed by our infantry and
our artillery, leaving one officer ard
four men dead in our trenches and
one wounded prisoner in our hands
Fifteen or twenty dead were OBJ
served near our wire and ten
stretchers were seen being carried
from this point. Here also our
losses appear to have been relatively
slight

VICTORY, COMPLETE AND
GLORIOUS.

Mere brute force cannot rule the
world.
After years of preparation upon the
fimsiest of excuses Kaiser Wilhelm in
August, 1914, turned his dogs of war
loose upon an interpreting and unpre-
pared world, and has been completely
defeated; the surrender was aDject
and complete. The plans were
crafty laid and it was confidently ex-
pected that an army waging war
brutal beyond anything the world had
ever witnessed before, would enable
them to dine in Paris within thirty
day period.
Poor little Belgium stepped into n
breach and for eleven memorable days
stayed the onrush of the Hun while
their women were being ravished ane
the children cruelty murdered. The
sacrifice made by Belgium was really
the first step in the final defeat O..
the Kaiser's crazy dram of world
wide dominion.

THE FUTURE OF GERMANY.


the military forces the Kaiser seeking
refuge in Holland, the country devast-
ed of it's manpower, supplies exhaust
ed and Socialism in the ascendency,
Germany is in a very precarious con-
dition.
True to the traditions of the
"kultur" with which the Germans
have been inoculated the German
army bombarded and gassed several
non-combatant villages and cities in
northern Franch just before firing
ceased Monday morning.
On the heels of this latest act of
barbarism the German authorities
have appealed to President Wilson to
intercede in their behalf at the peace
table.
Reliable information states that
millions of people in the Central
Powers upon the verge of starvation
are appealing to the Allied nations
for food. They seem to forget that
civilian and war prisoners have been
kept on the very verge of starvation.
that women and children of Germany
took keen delight in splitting in the
faces and food of prisoners on their
way to the hell holes where they were
to be incarcerated. They suffered
every humiliation and abuse knavery
could devise. The United States has
never allowed the most vicious
criminal to starve and of course these
people will have to be fed.
Justice must be melted out to Ger
many. This justice includes repara-
ton to France, Belgium, Great Britain,
Italy, the United States and other
Allied and neutral countries, not only
for the cost of the war, but the de-
wasted countries must be restored as
far as it is humanely possible to make
the restoration. Hypocritical peace
requests will not get them anywhere.
The dance is over and Germany must
pay the fiddler.
Germany is now going through the
throes of organizing stabilized form
of government. There is talk of sew
eral small republics. Late dispatches
indicate that VonHindenberg and the
Kaiser have friends who will WELD
an important influence in the forma-
ton of new Germany. Left to her
self Germany can work out her saliva
ton in the course. of years. Under
the conditions of the armstice it will
be impossible for the Central Powers
to wage war for many years, but the
Hohenzollern's must not be allowed
to have any hand in the organization
Of whatever form Of government
Germany finally stabilizes.-A. M. W..
