Relations Between Germany and
Holland Are Strained.

ticai uitimatum and
Anxiety Exists.

London. April 24.-Relat .oAs be,
tween Holland and Germany are very
strained, the Daily News says the for.
eign office has learned.
The chief cause Of the quarrel ap-
parently Is an old dispute about the

many.
Dutch Press Anxious.
Amsterdam, April 23.-The Dutch
press expresses anxiety regarding
Germany's intention toward Holland.
The Handelsblad considers Germany s

use communication through Holland
even at the risk of war, IL she be-
lievei success could thus be achieved
on the western front.

Ludendorff Gives Them Up AS Prov
Ing Too Costly.

HS too SSStty'
London. April 24.-The enormous
losses inflicted on the enemy by the
British have capsed General Luden-
dorff to change his tactics and he
has ordered that no more massed
attacks be made by the Germans.
The correspondent of the Daily
Mail at British headquarters in France
reports that General Ludendorff, In
an order dated March 30, said:
"The idea of forcing success by the
employment of masses must be abol-
ished absolutely. 1t leads only to
unnecessary losses. The effective use
OF weapons, not Of numbers, gives
the decision
The German method OF advance
since the order, says the correspon-
dent, has been to push forward small
bodies OF troops with light machine
guns.

While Great Britain's armies, in con
junction with the French, are prepar
ing for the next German blow on the
western battlefront, momentarily ex-
pected, the British navy has given
new evidence of aggressive activity
in naval raid on the German sub
marine bases on the Belgian coast.
Details of the operation which was
carried out are meager. The attempt
appears to have been made to SINK
several concrete filled vessels in the
channels leading from Ostend and
Zeebrugge from which bases mum.
bers of submarines set forth on their
depredatory missions.
Raid is Successful.
The admiralty reports, from scanty
information received from the return
ing forces that the raid met with a
reasonable measure of success Five
cruisers Of an obsolete type, with their
concrete burdens were run aground
and blown up.
The exploit was attempted, appar-
emily, in much the manner that Lieu
tenant Hobson sank the collier Merri-
mac in the Santiago channel in an
effort to bottle up Cervera's fleet in
June, 1898, during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war.
Mass for New Smash.
There are evidences of German con-
centrations for a renewal of the great
battle on the Somme front. Field Mar

Two Great Turning Movements
BY Germans Are Expected
Within Next Few Days.
HAVE THE SAME OBJECT
Purpose Would be to Wipe Out Sharp
Allied Salient BY Cutting into
Line Terminating On All
Arras-lens Front.

London, April PA resumption OF
the great German offensive is indi-
Gated by the way events along the
battle line in France and Belgium are
shaping themselves.
Since the savage attack on the
American forces at Seicheprey there
has been no fighting of an extraor-
dinary nature along the front, but
there have been indications that the
Teutons are almost ready to resume
the sledge hammer blows they have
been aiming at the Allied armies.
Unless recent operations have been
feints, it is probable the coming week
will witness two great turning move
ments by the Germans. One probably
will pivot on the village of Robecq,
northwest Of Bethune, on the south
ern side of the salient driven into the
Allied lines back of Armentieres. The
other is expected to develop at or
near Mesnil, north of Albert on the
north side of the Somme salient.
On Lens-Arras Line.
The purpose OF these movements
will be to cut deep into the Allied
lines on each side of the promontory
that projects out into German-held
territory and terminates on the old
Arras-Lens front. The Germans have
attempted two great frontal attacks
on the defense of Lens and Arras, but
they have been repulsed with terrible
losses to the attackers. These losses
were inflicted upon the enemy before
he reached the stronger Allied posi-
tions in that sector, and since the
second defeat at Festubert and Gi-
venchy, the Germans have not cared
to take up the task OF driving the
Canadians from their positions along
Vimy Ridge and on each end OF that
natural bulwark before Arras.
II successful attacks we're to be
launched by the Germans at RobecQ
and Mesnil, the British might be
forced to withdraw from Arras with
out having a chance to defend their
positions there. Heavy artillery fire
at both places has been reported and

THIRTEEN SCHOOLS
TO GET U. 5. AID
Inspection to Be Made and II ls Be-
lieved All Will Meet the Require
ments Of the Federal Law.


Members Of the state board Of edu-
cation in session in Fargo Friday
afternoon designated 10 federal aid
vocational training schools, which II
found, upon inspection, to fulfill the
requirements, will, receive federal
aid this year ranging from 5000 to
$500. -
The schools tentatively selected
will come within the full require
ments Of the law, it is believed, and
the list may be taken as definite,
The principal requirements are that
each school maintain prescribed
courses in agriculture, industrial
training and home economics. The
schools are only too eager to accept
these courses in order to get the
federal aid, in fact there has been
keen rivalry over the state for the
designation as a vocational school by
the state board OF education.
The schools selected Friday are
the Walsh County Agricultural
Training school at Park River, APP
preparation $1,000; Benson County
Agricultural Training school. $1,000;
Grand Forks high school, agricultur-
al and industrial training, $1,000;
