FRESH TROOPS ARE USED

FIeet-conserve Man Power.

New York.-Germany' mighty eff
has won new successes. According
to the latest reports the important
strategic towns Of Bailleul, Wylverg-
hem and Wytschaete are in German
hands and, more important still, the
Teutons have carried a large part of
Messines ridge by storm.
Probably there has been no more
bitter struggle during the war than
that waged along the battle line
through the towns of Bailleul, Neuye
Englise, Wylverghem and Wytschaete.
Neuve Egiise was taken but Bailleul
held out until fresh masses of Ger
man troops were hurled into the fray
and charged repeatedly on the tired
defenders. The same story might be
told of Wylverghem and Wytschaete
while the battle for Messines ridge
must have been frightful in its inten-
sity
The successes of the Germans in
the last day have an important bear
ing on the campaign on the northern
battle front. If they are continued
from Ypres and possibly for some
distance further north, while the cut

Hazebruock would be still more sert-

IN an effort to sweep the invaders
back into the lowlands once more.
All accounts OF the battle along this
line speak of the small British forces
which attempted to withstand the at
tacks by heavy legions of Teutons,
which were brought up fresh for the
assault.
In spite of reports from the Amer
lean front that German attacks have
been utter failures report from Ber-
lin via Amsterdam says that the
American positions near st. Mihiel
were taken by storm by the Germans
who held them against determined
counter-attacks. It is probable thar
the German report deals with the bat
tie in which the Americans admins
tered a sound beating to special shock
troops brought up by the Germans to
take the American positions.
The Germans in Finland are adj
vancing east of Helsingfors and are
encountering little if any resistance.
Ten German trawlers have been
sunk in the Cattegat, the narrow
straight between Jutland and Norway
by British fleet. The survivors of
the trawlers' crews were rescued.

FAlL-ENEMY LOST 800.

With the American Army in France
After another night of terrific artil
lery fire and bombardment with gas
shells, the Germans continued thei.
efforts to drive through the third line
of the American positions near Apre
mont forest, northwest of Toul. They
made two attacks, both of which
failed
The enemy's casualties in the four
days fighting are estimated at be-
tween SEQ and 400 Of this number
more than 100 were killed. Although
the enemy wasted fully a half of ms
specially trained shock troop battalion
of 500 men, he was unable TO pene-
trate the American lines, which re-
manned unchanged.
OF the Sc prisoners taken by Amer
lean troops in the fighting northwest
of Toul, during which two German at.
tacks in force were repulsed, with
heavy casualties to the enemy, Il
have since died of their wounds. The
American troops also captured two
German machine guns, besides guam
tity of small arms, grenades and other
war material.
The prisoners taken belonged to the
Twenty-fifth and Sixty-fifth Landwehr
units, the Sixteenth Pioneers and Tie
UhIans. The prisoners said they had
had no food for two days, as the
| American artillery had prevented
their rations from being brought up to
| their position. The captive Germans
quickly devoured the food given them
by our men.
The enemy front lines had been de-
stroyed by shell fire, and during the
attack the Americans temporarily
abandoned their own front line, allow
ed the Germans to enter it and then
forced them to engage in hand-to-hand
| fighting in the open, in which the
American troops greatly excelled.
This attack, which was the longest
and largest scale operation conducted
against the American troops since
the entry of the United States into
the war, has developed many deeds
of individual bravery and heroism.

but the lieutenant shot him through the

FOREIGN
MINISTER HAS QUIT
RESIGNATION OF COUNT GER
MIN ACCEPTED BY EMPEROR
BERLIN is BEHIND MOVE.

Amsterdam-Cou Czernin, the
Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, ac-
cording to q dispatch from Vienna, has
resigned. Emperor Charles accepted
the resignation and entrusted Count
Czernin with the conduct of foreign
affairs until his successor is ap
pointed.
An official statement received here
from Vienna asserts that the latest
statements of the French premier, III.
Clemenceau, concerning the converse
lions between Austria and France re-
garding the possibility of opening
peace negotiations do not alter the sit
uation as regards the majority of
Count Czernins declarations. The
Austrian foreign ministry, the state
ment says, is unable to ascertain who
was responsible for delivering to the
French what is said to have been a
forged letter, substituted for the letter
which was to have been delivered.
Neither Prince Sixtus, whose charac
ter is beyond suspicion, nor any one
else is accused of Justification, con
tinues the statement, which con,
cludes:
THE affair is herewith declared TIC
be at an end
Count Czernin did not know of En-
peror Charles letter to Prince Sixtus
when he made the statement that
France had initiated the conversation
with Austria, according to a Vienna
dispatch to the Lolzal Anzeiger, OF
Berlin. On learning of the letter he
resigned, but yielded to a request thar
he remain in office until the conclu-
sion of the peace agreement with Rou-
mania.
The recent publication by the
French government of the futile peace
appeal sent out by Emperor Charles,
of Austria-Hungary in March, 1917,
and the efforts of the emperor and
the Austro-Hungarian foreign office to
explain this letter to the satisfaction
of Germany and the German chancel-
tories and the foreign secretaries
However, his participation in the
forced peace upon Russia as well as
that upon Roumania, did not show
that his actions kept step with his
words.
In the peace offensive" of the pres
ent year Count Czernin in the AUS
trian Reichsrath on January % sug-
gested an exchange of views between
Austria Hungary and the United
States. He announced also that Aus
tria based her negotiations with Rus
STA on the policy OF no annexations
or indemnities, but there always was
some doubt whether his pacifist man
euvers were honest or were inspired
by Berlin in an effort to bring about
a split among the entente allies.
Count Czernin on April in an adj
dress at Vienna declared that Pre-
mier Clemenceau had sought peace ne
gotiations with Austria. The French
premier replied that Count Czernin
lied. The French and Austrian for
.eign officers then issued statements
explaining the unofficial negotiations
in Switzerland.
Early last week the French govern
ment declared that Emperor Charles
and Count Czernin both had said that
the claim of France to Alsace-Lor-
raine was just.
