SEND WAVE AFTER WAVE.
Germans Follow Old Line Of Attack
\, and Sacrifice Men.
-rBy Associated Preos,l

With the French Army In France,
June 10.-Notwithstanding the great
forces the Germans threw into the line
today when they opened their offensive
between Montdidier and the Oise they
did not achieve any considerable ad-
vance.
The enemy apparently hoped by
weight Of numbers to break the line
on this sector, which he failed to do the
first half Of April. when 90 many Sc
we're engagements resulted in the Ger
mans being stopped short.
Time after time increasing waves
Of infantry attempted to pierce the al
lied defenses. Southwest Of Noyon
they could produce no effect. The de-
tenders were as firm as rocks and held
the enemy tightly In check.
Tho Germans were able to make
some immediate progress because the
allies retired from advanced posts
which constitute the first line west
ward from Noyon. When the real line
Of resistance was reached, however,
the enemy's advance was checked and
small counter attacks by the allies
were successful In regaining ground.
Huns Use Poison Gas.
Before the infantry attack the Ger
mans deluged the allied lines to depth
Of at least six miles with poison gas
and with explosive shells. The allied
gune replied Immediately and With 6
fire Of great intensity hindered the en-
emy troops preparing to advance. When
the infantry attack finally came 1t did
not affect such wide front as the ar
tillery preparation.
In the center OF the attacking front,
where the allied line was weakest ow-
ing to terrain conditions. the Germans
were able to reach Reasons Sur -Mats
and Mareuill.
Thru the day, however. every foot Of
territory was contested bitterly and the
line maintained perfect cohesion despite
all the efforts Of the Germans to pierce
|it.
The slight progress the Germans
made cost them dearly. The allied left
fank was limited to occupation Of a
few trenches.
Evidently the Germans hurled all
forces available in the front line into
the combat, in the hope Of obtaining
an immediate success but they found
q much more vigorous defense than
they expected.

PeriIs the Nation.
Foreign Minister Declares That Stu.
alton Is So Serious He Must
Be Secretlve.

The Hague, April 26.-Speaking in
the first chamber of the Netherlands
parliament on the sand and gravel
question with Germany, the Dutch for
eign minister declared he could not
and must not conceal from the cham
Der the fact that the question was a
very serious one. He said he must not
say more about It.
Germany had demanded permission
to transport sand and gravel by Dutch
water ways. AS this material is to be
used for entrenchment purposes in
Flanders, 1t amounts to war munitions,
and permission for its passage would be
violation Of neutrality and offensive
to the entente allies and to the United
States.
A strong German note, demanding
quick reply. has arrived. The main
demand is for free transportation of
materials through Holland to Belgium.
German cavalry has appeared along
the Westphalian border, hitherto
guarded only by landstrum.
Westphalia Is a Prussian province
extending along the greater portion of
the Dutch frontier. 1t contains the
Rhine valley.

YOUNG MEN FOR ARMY
House Adopts Senate Resolution
on Draft.
Amendment Puts Men REACHING TWEEN.
ty-One Since Last June at Bottom
of Glasses.

Washington, April 26.-The house
adopted the senate resolution for the
registration for military service of
young men who have reached the age
of twenty-One since June 5 last.
The measure now will go to confer
ence.
An amendment offered by Repre-
119 TO 8, provides that men registered
under the bill shall be placed at the
bottom of the classes to which they
may be assigned.
Chairman Dent of the military COM
mittee announced that the war depart
ment will order the registration of the
men made eligible by this bill June 8,
the anniversary of the first enrolment.
All men who have reached twenty-one
by that date must register; they will
be classed, after answering question
nafres, on exactly the same terms as
men enrolled year ago.
Proposed amendments to register
men from twenty-one to forty were
postponed to prevent complicating and
delaying the principal measure
II such men are registered how
ever. it will be June also.
The house sustained the military
committee in striking out a provision
of the bill as it passed the senate
which would exempt from registration
those eiigfbles who have entered medi-
cal or divinity schools since June 5
last.
Representative Kahn of California
ranking Republican on the military
committee, told the house the proposed
new registration would place from
100000 to 100000 new registrants
available for military service. In that
connection he recalled that Germany
recently called into service its class of
1919, consisting of approximately 550,.
600 men.

OVER AT HER PIER
All but Three of Several Hundred
Workers Escape From the
st. Paul.
DEATH LIST PUT AT THREE
Volunteers Enter Vessel Through Holes
Cut by Torches and Rescue Dozen
HysterlcaI and Injured
Men.

An Atlantic Port, April 26.-The
American line steamship st. Paul,
famous passenger liner, overturned and
sank at her pier here while being
warped into q pier preparatory to
loading for trip to Europe. Three
men probably lost their lives In the ac-
cident.
At the time the st. Paul was not
under steam but was being brought by
tugs from a dry dock, where for the
last week she had been undergoing re-
pairs.
On her at the time were several hum
dred men-a majority Of them en-
ployees Of the dry dock-who had been
sent with the vessel to complete their
work while she was being loaded.
Passengers on passing vessel re-
ported that they could see men at work
on the exposed part Of the hull, cutting
holes through the side with gas-fame
torches.
Volunteers who entered through the
brought out more than dozen hys-
terical and injured men. A search Of
the holds Is continuing.
The steamer now Is lying on her
port side with about ten feet Of her
hull amidships above the water and
Is completely submerged both fore and
aft.
A large number of the men escaped
by simply climbing over the rail- and
onto the exposed side of the vessel as
1t came appermogt, while others
leaped into the water and were picked
up by the tugs.
Cause Of Accident Unknown.
One of the possible causes advanced
for the accident, which was supported
by experienced marine men, was that
the ship, which was being warped into
the pie by lines from the shore and
assisted by tugs pushing, listed SO far
that water entered open coal ports,
this resulting in an overcoming Of the
center Of gravity.
Gun Crew Safe.
Before leaving the dry dock the navy
gun crew, which accompanies the ves-
sci on her trips through the war zone,
went aboard the St. Paul. All these
men escaped, navy officials said, but
they, with the members Of the working
crew of the ship, had to leave their
personal effects on board.
The st. Paul was built at cost Of
$2,65O0OO and was launched In Phila-
delnhia on Aprfl IL. 1895.
Called into war service in 1898 dur
ing the Spanish-American war, the st.
