Over Optimism Danger.

Washington, April 13.-Over op- timlsm, which has caused patriotic workers to suspend work after reach ing the quota allotted them, appeared today as a serious menace to the sue cess of the Third Liberty loan. This condition was evident in reports to headquarters. Federal Reserve banks reported Inquiries from chairn1en ask ing if after towns goal was reached their advertising should not be stop ped. Messages from headquarters to communities which showed signs of letting. up in efforts stated emphat- ically that despite success up to the present, hard work to the very last is necessary.
 Official reports up to last night covering one week of canvassing gave a total of S573, ,451 500 for the entire country excluding the Minneapolis district, where the campaign will open Monday. It was estimated tonight that more than 1 GOO communities have passed their quota.

Teuton Blows Designed to Compel Evacuation of
 Territory Held.

With the American Army ,'n France, April 13-All effoi ts of the General high command for the pres ent are directed towards the system- atic dislocation of the British army. Having failed to break communi cation between the French and Brit v'h. the enemy has turned his whole attention nonhward and t appears likely that the generals will contin- ue to throw all availables strepeth in that direction. The encmys plan seems to be to delive, succession of hammering blows jt different points between the So1nme and the sea, with the desire of bringing about the British evacuation of the entire northern district of France. Ger man armies are participating in the battle. They are von Aruini's, von Guests, Otto von Below's, von Mar witza's, ven Huier's and von Bo- ehm's.
 The Germans, owing to their pos session of interior lines of communi- cation inside the semi-circ;es form ed by the front, are able to move strategic reserves with greater activ- ity than the allies. and thus by sur- prise attacks with rapidly concen- trated superior forces, compel retire ment of the allies at any point.

Washington, April 13.-Meagre re- ports from the battle in Flanders to- day indicated that the British army
 was Loyalty responding to the appeal of it's commander ana holding grimly against renewed German assaults. meanwhile officers here discussed
 Field Marshal Haig's call to his forces
 to fight to the last man. The meaning of the order was variously construed some officers hailed it as forcasting the counter offensive by the united al- lied armies, others were disquieted. The war department was without in formation to thrown much light on the situation. Officers who have followed the progress of the fight were very optimistic. They saw no reason to doubt that reserves in sufficient num- bers to warrant the counter offensive
 were available behind the fighting front, and they also noted with satis- faction General Hais announcement that French achievements were com
 ing up.
 In the view of some officers the Ger man front as it now stands places the Germans in danger in two places. The wide salient driven toward Amiens
 appears susceptible of flank assault by the French on the south and south west, while in Flanders the narrow sa- l lient driven into the British lines leaves the Teutonic Hanks exposed.
 There are many reasons, it was said, l to anticipate that any French counter strike may be delivered south and east of Montdidier, for this reason develop ments at Hangard, regained by the French today, are being followed 1 closely.

U. S. Troops Defeat Enemy In Fierce All Day Fight
 Northwest of Foul.
HUNS DRIVEN FROM
 FIRST LINE TRENCH
Counter Attack Drives Enemy to See Ond Linp--MaclIinp Guns "WOrk' Like Hell" After Barred
 to Foe.

With the American Army in France April BY Yesterdays battle was the first all day struggle in which Amer ican troops have been engaged. Two German attacks delievered in force against the American positions north west of Toul were repulsed with heavy casualties, including 36 prisoners left in our hands. The American losses were slight.
 The fighting began with one of the most violent bombardments ever laid down in that sector. Thursday night the Germans kept up a harrassing fire, throwing many gass shells into Amer ican positions. The first attack began about six o'clock in the morning and was directed against the French trops on the left flank of the American forces in the forest of Apremont While this was on the American troops made d counter attack on the German lines, moving forward behind a per feet curtain of fire. The enemy, driv- en out of his trenches was forced to fight in the open. A deadly machine gun and automatic rifle fire was pour ed into the enemy who offered stub born resistance at first, but later re- treated to his second line, hotly pur- sued by American troops. Desper- ate fighting continued, for several hours.
 The Germans again attacked at II o'clock at a point further to the right. The American barrage cut them off, but German officers drove their men thru the exploding shells until a few succeeded in penetrating the American front linees. A counterNttack, immed- lately launched by the Americans drove the enemy back tc his position. The struggle contiued several hours.
 While the action was at it's height the commander of an American ma chine gun unit reported to his chief that all machine gun emplacements had been shot away, but that "every gun was working like he'll"
 The attacks were made by the re- mnant of 800 shock troops who failed to reach the American nositions in their gigantic raid on Wednesday. Their ranks were filled by picked men from other units and the Ger man prisoners, who belonged to six different organizations, said the at- tack war ordered to aveng->le crush ing defeat of Wednesday. Five of the prisoners were Ulans, and all talk en were carrying haversacks we'll fill ed, as if in preparation for protract- ed stay in American trenches, corrob- orating stories told by prisoners talk en Wednesday who said the Germans had been ordered to enter the Ameri- can third line at all costs.
