Germans Fail to Pierce Allied
Line Af,,er Seven-Day Push
l. in Ypres Sector.
FOE ATTACK IS BROKEN
Attempt to Break Through or Take
Important Railroad functions Fail
Counter Attack BY British
Probable.

. London, April 16.-The momentum
Of their attack has been broken and
the waves of the Teutonic forces are
| recoiling before the rock of the Brit
ish defense, seven days after the Ger
mans launched their gigantic assault
| against the British lines between
Lens and Ypres.
While the Germans have made
gains of ground and have driven a
wedge into the Allied lines to a con.
siderable depth. they seem to have
failed in their attempt to break
through or take important railroad
functions.
During the last day there have been
bitterly fought engagements at four
places, all on the northern side Of
the salient to the south of Ypres Sew.
en- assaults against the British
trenches at Merville, near the apex
of the triangular dent in the British
lines have been hurled back by the
British. Neuve Eglise, ON the extreme
southwestern spur of the Messines
ridge, has been taken by the Ger
mans after a struggle which will go
into history as one Of the greatest
OF the past week.
Counter Attack Probable.
The British, however, have not re.
tired far, and it is probable that they
will at once organize q counter at
tack to force the Germans out Of the
town, which, If held, might be .
kicking off" point for an attack which
might outflank and make untenable
Messines ridge. the key to the British
positions about Ypres. -
Bailleul and Wulvergham, between
Neuve Eglise and Merville, also have
been the scenes Of hard fighting, but
except for Neuve Eglise, the northern
side of the salient has stood firm.
On the southern side of the salient,
according to Berlin, fierce struggles
have been fought.
1t has been the German plan of
campaign since March Fl, when the
great offensive started. to strike haru
at some particular sector and If tina,
blow was parted to turn powerful
attacks against some new point. This
procedure probably will be followed in |
the next few days by a new assault |
somewhere south Of Arras.
New Amiens Drive Possible.
1t may be that the savage fighting
reported at Hangard-en-Santerre,l
south of Albert and on the center Of
the line facing Amiens may mark
the beginning of a new attempt to
sweep westward toward Amiens.

IRISH DRAFT TO BE DELAYED

Cabinet Crisis.

London. April 16.-The labor min.
listers of the cabinet in an interview
with Premier Lloyd George pressed
the premier to grant self-governmen,
to Ireland on the basis of the majority
report of the Irish convention before
CONSUMPTION is put into operation. le
is understood that the conference had
satisfactory results, and there will
not be q cabinet crisis.
The third reading of the govern
ment's man-power bill tomorrow now
is regarded as assured. There have
been rumors that labor revolt might
endanger the measure, but If, as sta,.
ed, Mr.. Lloyd George has been able
to meet the views of the labor min.
listers in the direction of allowing
home rule to precede the application
Of CONSUMPTION in Ireland, that danger
is averted.

The engagement Of Miss Marguerite

son Williams, q. S. A., has been an
nounced by her sister, Miss Cora Clark
of New York city. This news is Of
peculiar interest to motion picture
devotees, for ever since she joined the
forces of the Famous Players-Lasky
Corporation Miss Clark has been one
of the most popular actresses on the
screen, sharing honors with such IA
vorites as Mary Pickford, Douglas
Fairbanks and w. S. Hart. Her dainty
fgure-she is only feet 10 inches tall
and weighs but 80 pounds-her pretty
face Illuminated by ravishing pair Of
big brown eyes and her winsome per-
sonality, added to histrionic ability of
high order, have won her leading
place In the new art.
An interesting coincidence Is to be
found In the fact that Miss Clark
next picture, to Je released Septem-

Sky" for the announcement of her
engagement came just like that to her
large circle of friends in private life

vague rumors that have been floating
up on southerly breezes recently.
1t appears that the engagement is
the result of Liberty bond tour last
fall, in which Miss Clark was instru-
mental in the sale of $1S,OOO,OOO worth
of bonds. One Of the points on her
tour was New Orleans, where a men,
Der Of the reception committee just
happened to be Lieutenant Williams.
Then ensued a case Of mutual love at
first sight. At least Lieutenant Will
liams was soon able to convince Miss
Clark that matrimonial bonds were
even more desirable than the Liberty
bonds she extolled so highly.
Miss Clark was born in Cincinnati
% years ago. She won great sue
cess in musical comedy, for she has an
excellent voice; then made a hit in
comedy before she turned to motion
pictures as providing the greatest OPP

Marine. 1t must also have been
noticed by the Germans that scarcely
any Americans at all have taken part
in the Picardy and Flanders drives
though large numbers were known to
have been there recently.
The conclusion Won Hindenburg
must draw from these facts is that
as the west front is being shortened
in Flanders, Picardy and Champagne,
the Americans thereby released are
being added to General Pershing's
threatening concentration along the
German border.
The reduction of the trench mileage
in the west, therefore, is adding to
the menace against the Rhine, even
though it permits the formation of a
German reserve Rhine army. This is
one of the ineradicable difficulties of
Won Hindenburg's strategic situation,
making Germany's defeat certain.
