HUNS HELD BACK.

NEW YORK, April 13.-Haig's
statement today indicated the Ger
mans have made little progress il
the last twenty-four hours, west Of
Messines. The repulse of an enemy
attack west of Merville shows the
British are holding there also.
The German attempts to reach
Amiens from a point ten miles tc
the southwest is being Frustrated
by Franco-British troops. Haig said.
He reported increased enemy can
nonading north of the Somme,
probably around Albert.
The west front from the Ypres-
Confines canal southwark to the oise
has now practically welded into one con-
4inuous battle line. This is seventy-hve
miles in an air line but along the ad-
vance Of the af$ermans IL probably meas
ures twice that distance. The hardest
nghting stin continues on the new front
in Flanders where the enemy is trying
to reach Bei1leul and Bethune.
In Ptcardy the Germans are again
driving against AmIsns and the French
admitted enemy progress there In yes
terday's lighting. The Germans are be-
coming more active in Lorraine. An
extensive raid against allied positions
in Apremont Forest, four miles east OF
St. Mth1el yesterday was reported In
4he Frauch statement and United Press
dispatches from the American front.
The enemy gained a slight foothold in
advanced positions but later was eject
ed / IA counter attack by American and
French troops.

YOU HAD

That there IS likely TO be dearth
Of coal this coming winter unless about
40 per cent OF the seasons supply Is
bought this summer was the opinion
that prevailed at the county meeting
Of the fuel administrators held in Gary
recently.
It seems that there viii be a demand
for an excess production this next win
ter and that such excess cannot pos
sibly be provided for unless people buy
and store coal this summer
1t Is recognized that the various coal
yards nave not storage capacity for
their winters supply and that the only
thing that VIII prevent next winter
repetition OF the experiences of this
past winter WIFI be large storage on the
part Of the individual consumers
Consequently everybody who has

storage capacity are advised to store
this summer just all the coal that they
