GERMAN OFFENSIVE
 HALTED, SAY FRENCH
lRepublican A. p. Leased wire1

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN TRANCE, Saturday. April 27.-The stern opposition encountered by inc Germans in their attacks in the reeion or the Somme and in Flsnders5 near kemmel hill, has prevented them from developing their renewed offensive on the great scale which they undoubt- edly intended. Each of their attacks may be regarded as an effort to prepare the way for more extended action in the event of an important initial success at either point, but the resistance offered at both places apparently discouraged the German commanders from launching more serious attempts to break through.
 Tn Picardy. where the Germans at tempted to divide the French from the British around Villers- Breton neauX and Hangard, the line remains today much the same as it was be- fore the attack was begun three days ago.
 Lose Many of Their Men
 The only result of the Germans on- slaught in which they utilized eight divisions, is the loss of a large num- Der of men. without any advance and certainly without obtaining Q jumping off place for the hoped-for real at tack they had planned to make. if successful. The allied commander, in chief decided. when the Germans oc- cupied Nillers- s-Bretonneux and Han gard that their continued possession by the enemy would endanger the security of the line in front of Amiens. and immediately sent forces with orders 10 recapture them. The at tacks at these points were executed with the greatest courage and sue cess.
 Further north, where the Germans gained Kemmel hill by the employ ment of nine divisions the allied commander-in-c chief regarded it as unnecessary to make tho sacrifice

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-New and far reaching restrictions on imports are in process of formulation by the ship ping board, to permit the furnishing of larger quantities of tonnage asked by Major General Goethals, acting quar- termaster general, for the use of the army.
 An effort is being made, in co-opera- ton with business men. to find sub stitutes for restricted articles and ma terials, so that the country will be placed virtually on a self supporting basis.
 Trade conferences now are in pro- gross to obtain the views of industrial leaders on the effect of the trade limi- tations. Representatives of paper, wool, rubbeC tobacco, varnish, fruit, feather, button, straw and grass braid, toy, vegetable ivory. peanut and tanning interests have been called into con- sultation. Importers of bananas and pineapples came to Washington today prepared to approve definite arrange ments for restrictions on imports of fruits.

It was emphasized, however, that the holding of a conference of trade representatives, does not mean that a decision has been reached to restrict the commodities of that trade.
 Curtailment of the imports of ban anas and pineapples may mean serious loss of revenue to Central American republics. which are the traditional friends of the United States. For that reason the assistance of this govern ment had been rendered them in pro- viding substitutes which will be more helpful toward winning the war
