100000 LOST TO GERMANS
In LESS THAN WEEK.

British Army Headquarters in
France. March 27.-The Germans
last night continued their furious
onslaught southwestward from
Ham against the allied defenses in
the region of Roye and Noyan hay-
ing slowed down in their patent
attempt to cut through the Brit
ish line further north, where such
desperate resistance was offered
From the average of casualties
in the various German units, as
given by prisoners, one arrives at
the conclusion that the German
emperor has lost so per cent Of
these men since he gave the signal
for the advance.
The British official statement Of
yesterday said it had been estah-
lished that more than 70 German
divisions had been engaged in the
battle. The usual estimate Of the
present strength of German di-
vision, is $4,000 men, so that a
loss of fifty per cent would mean
casualties in excess of 100000 IN
less than a week of fighting.
Hard fighting occurred last
night about the town Of Albert.
Large enemy forces pushed for
ward the place. but at last ac-
counts the British were holding
them doggedly at this possible
gateway to Amiens.
The conflict in he sector around
Roye and Noyon appears to be OF
great Importance from the many
indications that the German high
err command is attempting to split
the allied front there and start a
rolling-up process either way.
The Germans have now re-
claimed virtually all the territory
they held at the beginning Of the
battle Of the Somme, in 1916. At
scme places they have not retak-
en- all the old ground. but at other
points they have overstepped it
somewhat.
Fresh enemy forces were flung
into the southern phase of the Of |
fensive late yesterday. These re-
with other picked
troops, including the famous
Prussian guards, were sent for
ward in a dense wave against
the allied defenders. The latest
from this fighting zoEe
chronicle a most sangui-
nary struggle without indicating
any change in the situation.
At the latest reports the Ger
mans had made no further at
tacks against Bray. North Of Al
bert. however, they attacked in
considerable strength toward
Aveluy wood. The assault broke
against the British and recoiled.
North Of this point the situation
IS unchanged.
Heavy fighting occurred late
yesterday just south of Albert,
about Meaulte. At the same time
the British drove off an attack
north Of ALBERT at Auchanillers.
The enemy's gains further north
have been large, but the elasticity
Of the defending line thus far has
defeated his intention of break
ing through here and dividing the
British forces. It is probable this
elasticity has resulted in the de-
velopment Of the vicious drive
which the enemy is now makingi
in the south.
The resistance which has been 4
offered by the allied troops to the
German advance constitutes one ,
IF the finest pages in the annals
,f the war. The gallant sacrifices I

Ex-POLICE CHIEF ACQUITTED
Charles c. HeaIey and Two Others
Found Not Guilty of Graft Charges
by Jury at Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Charles C. Healey,

taking by jury in Judge Sabath's

tai. Detective Sergeant Stephen J.
Barry and William r. Skidmore, sa-
loonkeeper, who were tried with

Chicago's history came at 8 :O5 o'clock
Saturday night. The jury reached a
verdict after five hours, twenty-four
minutes of celebrating.
The jurors by their verdict indicated
that they believed the accusations of

FIRE At INDIANAPOLIS
FIRMS WORKING ON WAR CON-
TRACTS SUFFER 100000
LOSS.
STARTED BY AN INCENDIARY7
Four-story Industrial Building, SIX
Dwellings, Church and Other
Structures Observation-Disclosures
Handicapped by Cold.

Indianapolis, Jan. 15.-Fire, belleveO
TO have been started by an lncendlary
probably on alien enemy, on SUNDAY
night RACED the four-story Industrial
building, occupying the entire Dlock
bounded by Tenth, Eleventh and Fay
ette street and the canal, and perileo
the entire district bounded by Tenth
street on the south, the canal on the
west, Fall creek on the north ana lii
noiS street.
The property loss is estimated al
more than $1,OOO,O00, but, in spite OF
the fact that six dwellings, q cnurcn
a grocery and a saloon were also ue,
stroyed, 1t is believed that no lives
were lost.
Thirty manufacturing firms nave
establishments in the lndustrial
building, and the fact that many OF
them are engaged In making macnlnes
and supplies, under war contracts ZOE
the government leads the authorizes
to believe that the fire was started Dy
an alien enemy.
Fire Chief Loucks is of the opinion
that the blaze was of incendiary orr
gin and federal agents and the city
police are proceeding on this theory.
The flames appeared to break Dylt
simultaneously in two widely sepa-
rated parts of the structure. Fanneo
by gale that swept from the south
west, the flames spread with sucn
rapidity that the 81 companles-ln-
dianapolis' entire equipment-had to
struggle desperately to save adjacent
blocks to the north and east.
The firemen were handicapped ID
their work by the zero weather. ln
order to Argument the water supply
Chief Loucks had holes cut in the Ice
of the canal, and was thus able to get
additional streams.
Falling walls placed the fire fighters
in danger and cut line after line OF
hose.
The rapidity with which the IRE
spread was explained by the fact that
the automatic sprinkler system, with
which the building was equipped
throughout, had been shut off in all
but the southwest corner. In a small
section of the plant only did the
sprinklers work.
So quickly did the fire spread that
it was impossible to save the contents
of the factories in the Industrial
building. 1t was estimated that fully
100000 worth of new automobiles
were stored in the basement.
Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan. 15.-The
Hawkins block, six-story office build
ing in the business district, was de-
stroyed and two other big buildings adj
joining were being swept by a fire OF
undetermined origin on Sunday night.
Almost impossible drifts of snow i'm
peded the firemen in their efforts to
control the flames.
