nation regarding the losses suffered by
the Germans In their o!fensive and on
the German attitude toward the Alsa-
tians. as revealed by secret documents

fetal dispatch today from France. The
dispatch follows:
"On April / the Germans withdrew
from the front four divisions that had
suffered severely. To the depleted d
visions mentioned yesterday may he
added the following: The First. the
l19th. whose Companies are reduced 10
forty men: the Fourth the Sixth, the
E'iftieth. the 1a5th and the reserve di-
vision o. the guard which has lost 25
per cent Of its men. A regiment OF the
Twelfth division has bee: reduced tn
less than 500 men. The Fifth and
Forty fifth reserve divisions were re-
duced more than half.
The Alsatian contingents. three
quarters OF which had been until now
used on the eastern front and are now
in France. appear to give great con-
cern TO the Germans. according to
secret instructions found on prisoners.

conclusively how little trust the Ger

From Saloon Influence
Rock Island. April 3.--Votcrs of Rock

sponse to the demands Of the federal
government. and voted out forty one
saloons by majority Of 500 votes yes
terday.
South Rock Island township. with
one saloon. also voted dry. and Moline,
which has been dry, decided by tre-
mendous vote not to change. This
practically makes the whole of Rock
Island county dry.
Davenport, which Is across the river

by the operation Of state law, and the
result Of yesterdays election will make

located vast munition plants. with
thousands of workers. free from, the

Much OF the credit for the radical
change in Rock Island Is given to the
influence OF the government When
the local officials failed to show as
much activity in meeting the govern

by many they should have shown the
voters; it seems, took the matter into

PREPARE FOR ANOTHER PLUNGE

pulsed by the French fire and the
enemy were unable to gain footing
in any part of the French positions.
the war office announces, except at one
point. The French also broke up a
German attack near Rollot and gained
ground north OF Plemont. The state
ment follows:
"On the front between the Somme
and the Disc there was increasing ar
tillery activity South Of Moreuil the
enemy made spirited attack between
Morisel and Mailley-Rameval. 1t was
repulsed by the Frehch fire and the
enemy was not able to obtain a foot
ing in the French defense except at a
single point.
"A German effort north Of Rollet was
broken up by the French fire. Last
night the French carried out local
operation on the slopes north Of PIE
mont. in the course Of which our
troops enlarged their positions appre-
ciably and took sixty prisoners.
"On March 81 and April French
aerial squadrons threw down $4,000
kilograms (more than thirteen tons) Of
projectiles on railways and canton
ments at Ham, Chauny, Noyon, etc.
French pursuit planes were engaged
in many flights in the course Of which
eight German airplanes were brought
down. Two others were put out of ac-
ton"

Setback For Liquor interests,
The township local option elections
thruout the state yesterday, the re-
turns today show, result in setback
on the whole, for the liquor interests.
Two Of the larger down state wet
cities voted themselves dry-Rock Is
land and Bloomington. None of the
larger dry TOWNS voted to become wet,
but Aurora and Altoona voted to re-
tain saloons.
More than so saloons have been put
out Of business, according to the early
returns from down state today. These
indicated that only three dry town
ships were returned to the wet col
umn, and none contained large town.
The figures indicate that the drys won
thirteen wet strongho hods.

SHELL ENEMY TRENCHES.
Canadian Gunners2 Concentrate Fire
On Hun Positions.

Canadian Army Headquarters in the

and light have smashed up the enemy
trenches, communication and assembly
centers. Our mchine guns swept mo
mans land" and the opposing trenches.
Our Stokes" and trench nortars added
the weight of their fire to the program,
whch gave the enemy further grim
notice of our readiness to meet his Of
fensive operations. All night long, too,
our guns maintained slow fire on
the enemy.
While both the enemy's great
artillery and infantry concentration
point to another attempt against
Arras and Vimy ridge, nothing more
than patrol activity has characterized
our front line.
The correspondent has found high
spirits everywhere. It is felt Germany
has lost her first play in the gamble for
victory and while further fierce fight
ing Is expected there is no feeling
anywhere that the enemy can succeed.
