! Early this morning the Germans
! hurled great numbers of infantry
against the British line near Er-
vile but at the latest reports the
onrushing troops had been unable
| TO force their way through the in
tense artillery barrage which the
| British maintained.
A heavy battle also had been
proceeding today on the British
right flank, where the enemy had
succeeded in forcing his way
across the Somme and the canal
south Of Ham. The allies were de-
| Iivering counter attacks with the
purpose of pushing back the invad-
ers across the waterway.
Germans DOg-Tired.
There seems small doubt but that
the German attacking troops are
dog-weary. fighting under great
strain; but this is mentioned mere
ly as an interesting sidelight and
not for the purpose OF sounding a
note of optimism. Harder fighting
than yet has occurred, undoubtedly
will follow.
The British have been fightinA
with traditional subbornness. and
at many points they have held the
Germans back time after time al
though themselves greatly out
numbered.
Throughout the night there was
fierce fighting north of Bapaume,
along the Bapaume-Arras road, but
except that Mory again changed
hands. the defenders held their own
gallantly.
London. March 25-Fresh attacks
by the Germans have developed

advance late yesterday by the

 Exchange is Proposed
 Before making a definite de cision. the German Government, be- 'iieyes ii should propose 10 the Gov ernment of the United States that Capt Lieut.

Lieut.. Rintelen be permitted forthwith 10 return 10 Germany. Should the Government Of the United States agree to this proposal. the Ger man Government would take steps that London uncompleted term of imprisonment beremitted and that he be set at liberty in order that he may Immediately leave the country"

 Sir: l have the honor 10 acknowl- edge the receipt of your memorandum of April F, 1918. communicating translation of note verbaie from the German Government. transmitted by ,..e Swiss political department, pro posing the exchange Of Capt. Lieut.. Franz Rincelen for Siegfried Paul London. an alleged American citizen condemned 10 n years penal seryitude in Germany The German Govern nen- threatens measures of reprisal if Rintelen is not released or exchang- ed for London.
 Tn reply, have the honor 10 advise you mat this Government can no, con- sider the exchange Of Rintelen for London, nor can it consider the re- lease of Rintelen nor any interference with the due process of law in his case.
 Regarded as Threat
 The threat Of the German Govern ment 10 retaliate by making Ameri- cans in Germany suffer clearly implies that the Government proposes to adopt the principle that reprisals occasion ing physical suffering are legitimate and necessary ;n order 10 enforce de mands from one belligerent to another. Tle Government of the United States acknowledges no such princpile, and would suggest that it would be wise for the German Government 10 consid- er that ii it acts upon that principle it will inevitably be understood to in
