Germans Continue to HurI Great
Forces Of infantry into
Crucial Conflict.
FIGHTING sanctuary
Enemy Placing Dependence Largely
In Sheer Weight Of Members to
Overcome Heroic Resistance
Offered by British.

With the British Army in France,
March 26.-Most sanguinary and des-
perate flghting continues along the
whole front of the new battle zone.
In fact in the northern sector there
has been no cessation in the awful
work since Sunday morning.
The Germans have continued to
hurl great forces of infantry into the
conflict. depending largely on weight
Of numbers to overcome the increas.
ing opposition offered by the heroical-
~ resisting British.
Heavy Attacks at Three Points.
On the northern wing of the often
sive the enemy brought up addition
al troops after an all night strug-
gle of the fiercest nature and renewed
his efforts to break the British front
in the region of Evillers. To the south
near the center of the line an equal
ly strong attempt is being made by
the invaders to extend the long mar
row salient which they had pushed in
south of Bapaume, near l. ongueval--
famous in the annals of the battle Of
the Somme. These places were again
the ccene of shambles in which the
British machine gunners and rifle
men exacted a terrible toll of death
from the closely pressing enemy. Still
further south the Germans were pound
ing the front hard in an endeavor to
push on and get firm grip on Nelse
and swing the British right flank
back while the determined defenders
were battling doggedly to force the
enemy back and reclaim the positions
previously held by them along the
river.
Decision In Allegiance.
The decision at all Of these CELL
ters is yet in allegiance, so far as Is
known at this time and the struggle
goes on with undated fury.
The battle on the historic ground
about Longueval was perhaps the most
spectacular of any along the front. 1t
was day for machine gunners and
infantry. The Germans were pursu-
ing their tactics of working forward
in masced formation and the British
rapid-frer spads and rifcmen were
reaping a horrid harvect from their
positions on the high ground.
Notwithstanding their terrible los
ses the Germans kept coming on, fill
ing in the place of those who had
fallen and pressing their attack. The
British artillery in the meantime
poured in a perfect rain Of shells on
the enemy, carrying havoc into the
ranks Of the enemy. In this section
the Germans were operating without
the full support Of their guns because
of their rapid advance.
In the north. In the region OF Ervil.
lers. the British last night were fore ed
once more to abandon Mory. which
had changed hands several times in
the last few days. They fell back -.
short distance, and the battle was
staged largely along the Bapaume-Ar
ras road. The Germans employed a
large number Of divisions in this "a
sault which in the early hours was
held by the British gunners.

LIBERTY DAY
CELEBRATED
General Holiday Proclaimed
at University For
S. A. T. c. Men.

OHcial orders received from Wash
lngton to observe Liberty day at the
university post resulted in the proc
lamation Of a general holiday for the
5. A. T.. C. men today A football
game between companies, which had
been planned for the afternoon, had
to b g postponed. because it was
thought unwise for the soldiers to en-
gage in any strenuous physical exer-
else, which would render them more
liable to the epidemic influenza.
put regular drill was dispensed with
o the day, and the men were given
the freedom of the post to do as they
wished. General Saturday inspection
OF the companies was not held. but
barrack inspection and inspection OF
n Commons was carried on as u.s.
ual. ~
The number Of men answering to
sick call this morning was less than
that OF yesterday, and no more SER
ious cases of influenza has come up.
One man that was very sick yester-
day Is reported as much improved to-
dag. According to military authors
ties the situation is very encourag.
ing, the number Of new s OF In
fluenza reported each morning Ia
gradually diminishing, and SO far
there have been absolutely no fatali-
ties.
No Liberty day exercises had been
scheduled for Grand Forks, but q
program had been outlined for the
county schools. When the order to
close the schools came, the program
va automatically Cancelled.

CHURCH C0ERS
TO STAY Home
No Religious Services Will
be Conducted in the
City Tomorrow.

A situation. unprecedented in the
history of the city will arise tomor-
row when all churches here will re-
main closed. In pursuance of the re-
cent health board order to the effect
that public gatherings be prohibited
during the prevalence Of the Spanish
influenza epidemic, the ministers Of
Grand Forks today announced that
no religious services and no Sunday
school classes will be held here.
The order of the health authorities
Is interpreted as applying to churches
in view Of the fact that the meetings
OF congregations are in reality public
gatherings, and. as it was pointed
out today, Eve il they were private,
there would remain the same danger
OF Infection as Is present wherever
q large number Of people m together
in n room. There has been no dis
position among the ministers here to
trtfle with the orders, for it is real
lied that such orders are given for
the protection Of the entire commu-
nifty, and that failure to comply with
them might draw disastrous conse-
quences.
Some members Of the local clergy
today suggested that members Of con-
gregattons who usually take part in.
the Sunday worship read a chapter
OF the bible at home. and that they
would In this manner derive spiritual
gutdance which would be important,
and inspirational to them.
How long the present ban will be
In effect, no one can tell. The course
OF the epidemic appears to run about
to- stx weeks. and, Judging from
todayts reports, It Is moi yet on the.
Wane.
