French Aid in Attack That Threatens

In Picardy Trying to Hsat Re-
treat Approximately on
Hindenbure me.
BIZ EDWARD w. PlckARp.

The Americas First army, General
Pershing commanding, started the first
great wholly American offensive
Thursday, attacking on both sides Of
the Fit Mlhiel salient southeast of
Ve1.s... The French assisted by at
tie Eng on the point of the salient, but
II operation was planned by the
American staff and executed by Amer
lean officers and troops.
by Friday night the operation, so
far as the salient was concerned,
seemed practically completed, for the
big wedge had been flattened out and
the new line established by the Ameri-
cans ran from nt-a-Mousson down
The Moselle to Pagny, thence across the
Woevre plain TO Nationwide and along
the heights of the Meuse TO the old
line in front of Verdun. The fact that
fully 10000 prisoners were taken
and that the towns and railways aban-
doned by the enemy had not been de-
stroyed made ridiculous the German
official statement that the retirement,
(which had been under consideration
for some years, was completed without
interference"
This American drive threatens the
German possession Of the great iron
fields of the Briey basin west and
northwest Of Metz.
After a terrific artillery preparation
which for four hours smothered the
entire region within the German lines
with shells, the Yanks went over the
top exactly at five o'clock, following
rolling barrage timed for an adj
vance of 100 meters every 40 minutes.
Great numbers Of tanks supported
them and cleared the way by crushing
numerous concrete machine gun shell
tiers and breaking down the elaborate
wire defenses. American avat0rs in
foclSs quickly drove away the few Hun
sirmen in sight and thereafter del
aged the enemy supply centers, mu-
milton dumps and hangers with
bombs, while the observation planes
directed the work of the artillery.
Everything moved like clockwork and
the troops speedily gained their OBJ
iectlves and went on to the next ones,
Village after village was taken and
by Friday tie cavalry had advanced
far into the center Of the salient and
occupied strong positions.

Although the stupendOus German re.
treat of the past eight weeks has been
conducted skillfully and the enemy line
has not been broken through, his ar
mics maintaining contact with one an
other, II has been in every way most
expensive operation for the Huns. In
addition to the loss of great numbers
Of guns and immense quantities Of ma
terial, captured or destroyed, they
have lost more than 100000 men, the
majority Of whom, fortunately. We're
killed. The morale of the army is
being gradually broken by relentless
continuous and successful blows de.
livered by the allies, the supply Of
fighting electives Is getting low, and
the people ut home are becoming daily
more dissatisfied and restless. Cap.
tured orders reveal that the wounded
men are put back In the ranks before
they are cured, and prisoners released
by Russia are not given time to re-
cover their strength and health. Aus
tria has reluctantly responded to the
call for aid and In the quieter sectors
Austrian divisions are placed between
German divisions, or Austrian soldiers
are used to fill out depleted German
regiments. This Is taken to mean that
there viii be no renewal Of the leu
tonic offensive In Italy this year, If
ever.

Gen. Donnelly To Be
Tried by Court Martial
Officer Accused Of Taking
Liquor Into Camp Is Re-
lieved Of Command

MINEOLA, L. l., April Brigadier
General Arthur y. Donnelly of the
G9th Brigade, who was arrested here
yesterday charged with bringing liquor
into the camp, was relieved of his COM
mand to-day and succeeded, temporarily
at least, by Colonel Rowan.
A special court martial has been
ordered for General Donnelly, who is
accused in an official report made by
an inspecting officer not only with
serving liquor in his own tent to his
subordinates, but also with partici-
pating in card game with them in
which money was passed.
1t is understood that strong intlu-
ences have been brought to bear upon
the War Department to have the mat
ter dropped. Secretary Baker has re-
fused to interfere. 1t is said that he
told members of Congress, who inter
tered on behalf OF the general, that
he would receive the same measure of
justice that is handed out to the raw
est recruit, but that the sentence
passed would be more severe because
of his experience and rank.

New York Ranked
High as Moral City
BY Federal Agents
Officials Interested in Vice
Suppression Pleased With
Law Enforcement Here

1t was learned yesterday that the
Federal officials who have come to New
York to participate in a moral house
cleaning campaign are much pleased
with the conditions they have found.
Except for "bootleggers" in certain
pcrts have been surprised at the or
derlincss of the city, and they have
stated frankly that New York stands
ace high among the big cities of the
country in this respect

head, conferred yesterday with Assist
ant District Attorney James L. Smith,
who has been in charge Of District At
torney Swann's vice-hunting campaign
for the last three months Neither Of
fcial would discuss the results of the
conference. District Attorney Swami
said his work would continue with per-
lcct coordination and cooperation with
the Federal agents.
report was current yesterday that
New York might share the fate of
Philadelphia, where the vice problem
was taken out of the hands of the
local police department. This was oc
casloned by the fact that Captain Jo-
seph b. Hatch, of the Marine Corps, in
charge of Philadelphia, came to New
York. Captain Hatch returned to the
Quaker City in few hours, and it was
learned that his visit here was in con-
nectlon with reports that undesirab!es
were f1ocking to Manhattan to ESCAPE
inc wrath to come in PHILADELPHIA.
1T also was learned definitely that
the body Of soldiers which is to do
detectivc work for Captain Pfeiffer.
deputy Police Commissioner RYAN and
Inspector Underhill will not be used
as witnesses in court. To allow them
to DO so would result in defeating tho

pointed out. The methods used will
correspond nearly to those RECENTLY
put INTO practice in getting evidence
against venders of opium and nar-
cotics. anu ""t-
District Attorney Swann's raid, on
Vicious resorts will continue, it was
learned. The only effect of the Federal
cooperation will be to lend more as
