ENEMY PUSHES ATTACK
WITH GREAT DETERMINATION

British Headquarters in France, May
9, via. 0ttawa.-Throughout yesterday
the enemy pushed his attack in the
direction of the northeastern slope OF
Schrinberg with great determination.
At first he made several successive
stsge OF progress, opening with an in
fantry attack launched at $50 O'Clock
under cover an intense bombardment.
1t was directed against the right flank
of the British northern army and over
tapping the British junction with the
French.
An hour later. after throwing in sew
eral waves of assault troops. the Ger
mans had gained footing of consid-
erable width on the British front line
and enemy parties had penetrated to
Kleine Vierstraet Cabaret. The situa-
tion at this time seems to have been
rsther difficult. Theneeforth until the
early afternoon the Germans made Wig
orous efforts to get through the ridge
wood.

BRITISH FORCED BACK
BY MACHINE GUN FIRE

With the British Army in France
May 9.-Fighting was still in progress
this morning near Niertsrate on the
frcnt southwest of Ypres. At one time
the British were forced back slightly
by machine gun fire. All the rest of
the original defenses, however, appear
ed to be again in the hands of the de-
tenders in the Noormezeele-La Clyette
sector.
After their first success in yester-
days fighting the Germans were UNI
able to gain further ground despite re-
peated smashes at the allied line Bitter
struggles took place about Kleine Vier-
STRAIT cabaret, west Of Nierstra and in
the ridge wood, but the British. chung
desperately to their positions.
The British organized counter at
tack during the night which was so
Vigorous that the Germans were una
hle to Withstand it, and gradually fell
back until they had abandoned all the
ground gained.

TWO BIRDMEN
HAVETHRILLINC
TIME ON PLANE
SPEND eighteen HOURS ON
FLYING MACHINE WHICH BE-
CAME DISABLED OFF FLORIDA
COAST.

An Atlantic Port, May 9.-Their hy-
droaeroplane adrift at sea and in dan
ger of sinking from a leaking pontoon,
E.psign Arthur Laverents, naval aviator
and g. C. Cotton, observer, were res
cued by coastwise steamship thirty
five mics off Miami, Fla. Monday af-
ternoca and brought here today on the
steamship. The men had been floating
on the plane is hours without food or
water after an engine breakdown which
forced them to drop from flight to
the surface of the sea.
One of the pontoons of the hydro
aeroplane sprung a leak during the
long hours riding the waves and the
craft would not have stayed afloat
mgre than half an hour after the res
cle, the aviators said. Sharks added
to the peril.
The captain of the rescuing steam
ship said that heavy ssqaull was COM
ing up when the aircraft in distress
was sighted and high seas had begun
to break over it, when his vessel came
ALONGSIDE. The pair were nearly eX
hausted although they Aremarked to
quarantine officials on their arrival to-
day that ''all the damage we suffered
was to our dispositions.
The hydroaeroplane, which weighs
2 200 pounds, was hauled aboard the
steamship and brought here with the
aviators At the quarantine station it
was turned over to the care of gov
ernment guard ship which towed it to
a naval base here. 1t was found 10 De
very little damaged.

WASHINGTON LOOKS INTO
REPORTED ALLIED SHIPPING

Washington, May 9.-Officials here
were unable today to reconcile the
British announcement OF the tonnage
built of allied countries during the
first quarter OF 1918 in the United
States was meant to be included, with
the output OF the American yards
amounting to $780, .94i tons in that
period. Yards in the United Kingdom
were said to have turned out 320,2s0
tons but inasmuch >s the total of all
allied countries was given as only 544,-
327 tons, ii was thought here that per-
haps the British figures did not include
the United States.
The steady increase in output had
been gratifying to shipbuilding Off
cials Beginning with 79.54i tons in
January, the production increased to
1901 tons in February i66.700 tons in
March, when delays in material were
encountered and 240,o00 tons in April.

THREW SWITCH
in FRONT OF AN
ONCOMING G CAR
ACT THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN
PRANK CAME NEAR THROWING
HEAVILY LOADED TRAIN OFF
THE TRACK. -. Al &alR

Electric company officials are try
ing to clear up an occurrence which
took place at Patterson's station Ned
nesday afternoon when, it is alleged,
some unknown party threw a switch
and came near deraiiing and probably
wrecking a city-bound express from
the reservation, crowded with service
men. The investigation is being made,
it seems, with a view TO stopping any
such tactics in the future. and not with
any desire to punish anyone for an act
which was thought to have been one
more of a mischievous nature than
that of intent to injury.
II seems that the train is one which
makes no stop between the naval sta
tion and the city, and when it neared
Patterson station some men stood there
the allegation being that as many as
90 We're in the bunch. When the
switch was thrown, according TO Con-
dUctor Macarthur, a possible serious ac-
cident was averted only because the
