the raids were executed simultaneously
last night. The Americans swept thru

passed to the second line, sixty yards
back.

When the Americans reached the

trenches, expecting hand-to-hand
fight but found the Germans had fled.
Continuing the advance they went for

batteries was quickly silenced by the
american artillery. An American
trench mortar battery helped to level
the enemy positions previous to the
raid.
Soon after these raids had been car

farther to the right. They went over
the top following an artillery bonn

this place the dugouts were found to
be constructed of logs. The engineers
accompanying the raiders destroyed
the dugouts. But for the fact that the
Germans fled more prisoners would
have been taken. All the Americans
returned.

With the British Army in France
and Belgium, March 11-Heavy artil-
lery fire was proceeding at various
points along the tensed British and
German lines today but there has. heen
no infantry action of Importance since
yesterday morning, when the British in
violent counter attack hurled the
Germans from the posts they had sue
ceed in capturing near Poelderhoek
ridge, Friday evening.
The British defense here and south
of the Houtholst forest where the
Germans also seized six posts Friday
morning, has been de-established COM
pletely. Both these attacks were but
apologies for what the Germans had
planned. They had intended to make
a pretentious attack south of Hout-
hoist forest, on Feb. 20, to pinch on
the British salient and gain number
of important positions.
This became known to the British
however, from deserter, and they
buried the German lines under such
an avalanche Of shells that the plan
was abandoned. On Friday. however
the Germans attempted an effort on
smaller scale. They gained six .posi-
tons but later were driven out and
were forced to abandon some Of their
own forward positions.
Attack Frustrated.
An attack had been planned for Feb.
%, for positions on high ground near
Poelderhock. A prisoner taken by the
British is said to have divulged the
German plans. The BRtish artillery
prevented the carrying out Of the pro-
gram. The German prisoner said their
regiments had been paralleled and
formed but that the attack had been
postponed because the British had
learned of it. The same prisoners said
the attack had been put off to the
morning of March 8.
The British. put down perfect
barrage advance, Thursday morning,
and the Germans did not attempt to
advance The enemy made its attempt
Friday and occupied a number of posts
on narrow front and a hard fight
followed. Early Saturday the British
executed a counter attack. which was
without result A second attack was
successful and the Germans were
driven out
One of the freaks of war occurred
Saturday when headquarters post
was directly hit three times by Ger
man guns. The building was destroyed
and when the debris was cleared away
to claim the bodies it was found that
not an officer had been seriously hurt.

City Woman.

Special to Times Republican.
+ Mason City, March II. - Frank Ca
mardo, an Italian, was placed on trial
today for the murder Of Mrs. Clara
Wedge here on the afternoon Of Jan. IL.
The state has nothing but circumstan.
tial evidence on which to base its pros
ecution. Mrs. Wedge was killed when
the assassin laid her head open with a
blunt instrument and fired the home to
cover the crime. Camardo reported to
the officers that he found the woman
dead, shortly after firemen reached the
house. He had roomed at the dead
woman's house at one time. He pro-
tests his innocence.

TORNADO COSTS
$1,000, 900 DAMAGE

Five Known Dead and Several Injured
Persons May Die as Result Of De-
structive Storm Which Sweeps Over
Two Ohio Counties.
Columbus, Ohio, March 11.-While
reports continue to dribble in showing
that Saturdays tornado wrought more
than 100000 damage in Van Vert
and Paulding counties, Ohio, where it
did it's greatest destruction it is be-
lieved that the number Of deaths will
not exceed six or seven.~Ffve are known
dead and there are several injured who
may die.
Details Of the destructive storm are
not fully known owing to the wrecking
of lines Of communication. The tornado
was as narrow as five yards in, some
places while in others it was miles
wide.
Apparently it's first fury was felt in
the vicinity Of Convoy, west Of Van
Vert. Wreckage shows it jumped Van
Vert and then swept down upon
Middlepoint, to the east 1t then veered
north, striking Miller City, in Paulding
county.
That greater loss Of life and more
imposing loss of property was not felt
in the wake Of the wind is due to the
fact that it did not hit larger cities.
Van Vert, Ottawa and Tiffin felt the
storm. Miller City Continental. Han
ley, Convoy, Despler and Napoleon
suffered the most.
+ Rural districts between these places
bore the brunt Of the winds force.
There Is no estimate Of the number Of
farm houses and outbuildings wrecked
but there are scores.

BOGUS MARSHAL PLAYS THE GAME WITH A
 HIGH HAND

The Anaconda Standard says: A man we'll set-up, with the manners and poise of an executive, of command. ing appearance, went to Great Falls recently and posed as a deputy Unit ed States marshal, detailed to run down slackers, and said that he was working especially among Austrians because he was a native of that coun. try and spoke Its dialets fiuently.
 He first landed in Sand Coulee, a coal mining camp, about three weeks ago. After making several arrests" in Sand Coulee and turning his pris. oners over to the authorities. the im- poster betook himself to Belt. There he told the same story and was finally readily accepted by the officials as deputy marshal.
 In Belt he began to assume dicta- torial airs. He communicated the county jail and demanded the exclu- sive use of two rooms and an office.
 All this was in poor English but spoken with might and main. His flashing eye convinced the officials. He got what he wanted. But the day after the impostor commandeered the Belt bastile. the matter came before sheriff Kommers at Great Falls. The official had no credentials and Kom- mers immediately placed him under arrest.
 He proved to be George Yusko, 20 years old, a private in the 1st United States Cavalry He had enlisted in Denver, and was on thirty-day fur tough Whether Yusko considered the matter an amusing prank or whet- her he operated for graft is not plain. He must appear before United States marshal.

THE JAPANESE MISSION
 TO WASHINGTON

The Hamburger Nachrichten Sept.
 2S), writing with reference to the Japanese mission to Washington, says that with the fail of the Russian au- tocracy the agreements between 1m- perial Russia and Japan have become waste paper. Instead of the coloni- zation of East Siberia, with all its at- tendant advantages, it soon became clear that one of the first acts of revo- lutionary Russia was to give trouble to Japan in the East by making great concessions to America in Sakhalin and Siberia, thereby making them the rivals of Japan. The great American capitalists find in Asia a more favor able sphere in which to exert their influence than in Europe. Only the gigantic war expenses of France and Great Britain have turned the atten. ton of these powers to the American money market, and the future Will show on which side the political ad- vantage lies. In China it is different The unorganized state of finance and the uncertainty of the Central Govern. ment offer no guarantees to the credi- tor and can only bring advantages to him by bribery of the ruling factors. Terauchi's ministry owes its success in China, as In Imperial Russia, in the n hT1hnTJ-
 Tn spite of its delivery of munitions and it's improved trade during the war. Japan Is still a poor country compared to the United States. Am erican capitalism Is well aware or this. and has weakened Japan's infiu- ence in China by Japan's own methods because it overbids Japan on all oc- casions. and at present is not called upon to sacrifice any military power. The Japanese press has sileneed its bellicose utterances against the United States. It is suddenly discovered that Japan and the United States can be very good friends Yet both sides know that there are political differ ences which must be settled sooner or later. The waning fortunes of the entente and the breakdown of Japan's imperialistic and Wilson's democrat ic plans demand this strange coopera- ton as last resource. It is strange spectacle that Japan has now to rely on help from the United States to enable her to carry out her new ship building program, which was or iginally directed against the United States. Japan has the necessary money, indeed, but has become de- pendent on the United States for iron and steel, since Great Britain has been totally winged The Teraucnl ministry has completely changed its policy and made a pact with it's for mer opponents whereby America is to supply steel for the new ships, in return for which Japan undertakes to expedite ship building to replace ton mage lost in the course of the war.
