morning the Germans again hurled
great numbers Of infantry against the
British line near Ervillers, but at the
latest report the onrushing troops
had been unable to force their way
through the intense artillery bar
rage which the British maintained.
A heavy battle also has been pro-
ceeding today on the British right
flank where the enemy had succeed
ed in forcing his way across the
Somme and the canal south of Ham.
The allies were delivering counter at
tacks with the purpose of pushing
back the invaders across the water
way.
There seems small doubt but that
the Germans attacking troops are dog
weary. fighting under great strain, but
this is mentioned merely as an inter
esting side light and not for the pur-
pose of sounding a note of optimism.

back, time after time, although them
selves greatly outnumbered
Throughout the night there was

Swedish Press Decries
Taking of Dutch Ships

STOCKHOLM, March 25-The seiz
ufe of Dutch tonnage in allied ports
is strongly criticised in press COM
ment here.
The Social DemokrateH, which is
friendly to the allies, says:
These violent measures, even
though it is true that in the last analy.
sis they were called forth by brutal
German methods of warfare and Ger
many's threatening attitude, never
theless are a gross violation of a neu-
trails rights and deeply compromise
the high ideals which the allies de-
clare inspire them in their conflict
against German militarism."
The Svenska Dagbladet refers in
its comment to ''the gentleman who
in the olden days on the highways
and the byways, with his finger on
the trigger. used to demand the way
farer's property"
