GERMAN ADMIRAL
LOSES COMMAND
after SUB RAID
Seebrugge Commander Is
Blamed for Being Taken by
Surprise by British.
(By Associated Press.)

AMSTERDAM, April 26.-Vice Ad-
miral Schroeder. the commander at
Zeebrugge, according to reports
reaching here. will be deprived of his
command for being taken by surprise
by the British Tuesday.
German newspapers, in comment
ing on the raid at Zeebrugge. gener-
ally take the hint given in the official
reports at Berlin and represent the
enterprise as having been a failure.
Some, however. admit that the attack
was made with great boldness.
1.-The cement laden ships which
were sunk close to the coast will not
hinder the exits and entrances Of the
German naval forces" the Koelnische
Zeitung says.
The Lokal Anzeiger says that the
raiders succeeded in blocking the
waterway to a great extent but that
the U-boats still are able to leave
their harbor as a narrow passage re-
mains. The Weser Zeitung regards
the British version as fantastic sub
stitution of the wish for deed and
adds:
ut is a success of which we Ger
mans may boast
The Koelnische Volkszeitung sees
in the attack evidence that the exist
ence of a submarine base at Zee
brugge is making life intolerable for
England"

ON THE FRENCH FRONT ! IN
FRANCE, April 25-The more they
advance along the road toward Ami

salient the Germans are forming in
the Somme region especially in view
OF the fact that the allied reserves are

are now commanded by a single chief.
The present moment Is less favor
able to the German plans than when
they started their advance on March
23. Then a weak point existed be-
tween the French and British armies.
Now there Is no sensitive part of the
line since the unified command has
given the opportunity to make the
most practical use of all the allied
troops.
An all night battle in which the
Germans, after gathering powerful col
umns, hurled them upon Hangard-E En-
Santerre. resulted in the village chang
Ing hands several times. Individual
combat with bayonets from house to
house were of frequent occurrence
Fire burst out in all directions until

vance further were stopped as soon as
they began.
Meanwhile, the artillery. extending
the radius of it's fire, bombarded heav-
lily Hailles Castle and Seinecat wood,
all sitpated on the same plateau to
the southwest of Hangard, which ele-
walton bars the route to Amiens. The
enemy launched several assaults upon
Hailles and even succeeded in reach
ing the lower slopes OF Hill 80, just
to the south of this village, but the
French artillery and machine guns
put an end to his progress here.
At the same time the Germans are
devoting great attention further north
to the British sector around Cachy,
where the nshting was very sevefe. Y

RUSSIA DEPENDANT
ON GERMAN MARKET
(Ry Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April &c. Russia
has frequently found herself at dis
advantage in negotiating commercial
treaties with Germany, says a report
on the German-Russian tariff disputes
covering the period from 1890 to 1914
and issued today by the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce
Louis Domeratzky. tariff expert of
the bureau and author of the report,
gives it as his opinion that Russia s
disadvantage was due primarily Ito
the fact that Germany was the chief
market for Russia's agricultural and
forest products and to Russia's need,
as a debtor nation, of a favorable
trade balance. He considers 1t "ex-
tremely hazardous" to make forecast
on the future tariff relations between
the two countries.

PARIS, April 26-One of three
German long range guns, which have
been bombarding Paris, has been de-
stroyed, according to Deputy Charles
Leboucq, of the department Of the
Seine. The deputy said he had talked
with the general commanding the Sec
tor near Crepy-en Laonnois, where
the big guns are stationed. The en-
emy, he declared, is constructing new
emplacements.
LAS one of the deputies of Paris"
said M. Leboucq, Il was anxious to
assure myself personally with regard
to measures taken to counter-attack
the cannon bombarding Paris. l went
to see the general commanding a GER
tain sector who showed me photo
graphs and gave me all the informa-
tion he had.
"The photographs show that the guns
are placed exactly between Crepy-en-
Laonnois station and the counter-forest
know as Joy Hill. Two spur lines
start from the station. On these the
heavy guns are moved to the firing
platforms.
"The first spur has branch leading
to platform which is still occupied
but the center platform is empty. It's
gun has been destroyed. Two more
spur lines are under construction,
showing that further cannon are ex-
pected.
THE emplacement platform on
which the gun slides, explains the
regularity of the direction of the firing
which we undergo At the moment of
firing ten heavy guns are fired by a
special apparatus to camoufage the
sound of the big gun at it's location
cannot be judged from the sound At
the same time thick clouds of smoke
from surrounding heights protect the
gun from airplane observation"
