GERMANS FOILED
IN ALL ATTEMPTS
TOBREAk THROUGH
Stern Resistance Prevents De.
veIopment Of Offensive as In
tended; Allies Hold Foe
Wherever They Make Stand. :
(Ry Associated Prees.l

With the French Army in France.
Saturday, April 27.--Stern opposition
encountered by the Germans in their
attacks in the region of the Somme
and in Flanders, near KENNEL Hill,
has prevented them thus far from de-
veloping their renewed offensive on
the great scale which they undoubt-
edly intended. Each of their attacks
may be regarded as an effort to pre-
pare the way for more extended ac-
ton in the event OF an important ini-
tial success at either point, but the
resistance offered at both places ap-
parently discouraged the German
commanders from launching more
serious attempts to break through.
In picardv, where the Germans at
tempted to divide the French from
the British around Villers-Bretonneux
and Hangard, the line remained to-
day much the same as it was before
the attack was begun three days ago
/. German Losses Severe.
The only result OF the Germans on
slaught, in which they utilized eight
divisions, is the loss of large num-
ber OF men, without any advance, and
certainly without obtaining a jumping
off place for the real attack they ex.
pected to make If successful. The al
lied communicative n-chief decided,
when the Germans occupied Villers,
Brettonneux and Hangard, that their
continued possession by the enemy
would endanger the security of the
line in front of Amiens, and imme-
diately sent forces with orders to re-
capture them. The attacks at these
points were executed with the great
est courage and success.
Further north, where the Germans
gained KENNEL Hill by the employ.
ment of nine divisions, the allied
commander -in-chief regarded it as un-
necessary to make the sacrifice that
would have aeen entailed in regaining
the lost territory, since it is not es-
sential to maintenance of the allied
position. In this way the allied re-
serves are spared intact for future use.
There is confidence among the allies
in the ability TO hold the Germans
wherever they choose to make a
stand.

American Labor Pledged
To Carry on War to Finish

London, April 28,--The American
labor delegation which is visiting
England was entertained at luncheon
today in the banquet hall of White
Hall palace and met representatives
of the British and foreign press.
James Wilson, head of the dele
cation, said:
I'VE recognize as fundamental
truth that there can be no democracy
with the triumph of the imperial Ger
man government. The fight must be
carried on to its finish.
"The American labor movement, in
whose behalf my colleagues and my
self have been authorized to speak,
declares most emphatically that they
will not agree to peace conference
with the enemies of civilization, ir-
respective of what cloak they wear,
until Prussian militarism has with
drawn within it's own boundaries, and
then not until the Germans have,
through proper representatives
proved to our satisfaction that they
recognize the right OF peoples and
civilized nations to determine for
themselves what shall be their
standard"

PREPARE BRITISH
PUBLIC FOR Loss
OF CHANNEL PORTS
Evacuation Of Ypres May En-
tail Abandonment Of Dunkirk,
Calais and Bou|ogne, Lon
don Papers Intimate.

London, April 28.-Some Of the
newspapers appear to be preparing
the public for the loss OF the channel
ports. The Times today says:
There is no denying that the loss
OF KENNEL Hill is a considerable
tactical success for the enemy, and il
will be well: therefore, to prepare for
the receipt of other disagreeable news.
If the enemy is able to extend his
grip on KENNEL we may be COM
PEELED to evacuate Ypres. Such
evacuation would not inevitably entail
the abandonment of Dunkirk, Calias
and Boulogne, but it is we'll to realize
that these consequences might ensue.
We must remember that the Ger
mans cannot win the war BY the oc-
cupation Of Ypres and the channel
ports"
The Evening News said last night:
"The capture of KENNEL Hill un-
doubtedly is a useful step in the di-
rection of Calais and Boulogne, and
it is frankly admitted that its loss
prayely inlperils Ypres."

cessfuI Mt. KENNEL Drive;
Losses Very Heavy.

With the British Army in France.
April 28.-An intense bombardment
of the allied positions in the KENNEL
sector has Been continued by the
German gunners, but up to noon yes
terday the eremy had'made no fur
ther attacks in this region. General
Won Arnim was busy consolidating the
positions won yesterday and reorgan-
izing his forces for a new drive
against the ether hills held by the
allies west o. KENNEL,
The German commander will have
to bring up fresh troops for further
operations, for the casualties suffered
by the enemy yesterday were exceed
ingly heavy Proof OF this was given
by the distressing sight on the bat
tleheld over which the contending
armies struggled. During yesterdays
attacks by the enemy one British
brigade inflicted four times as many
losses as they themselves suffered.
German Losses Excessive.
The proportion might not hold
good for thy whole sector, but cer-
tainly the German losses were ex-
cessive at r,any points. At Locre,
which the French reeaptuicd last
night and where the fighting ragged
most OF the DAY, the number OF Ger
man dead was very large.
General Won Arnim employed about
10 divisions in yesterdays assaults,
five of which were fresh troops. This
meant that on front Of about 10000
yards, between Dranoutre and the
Ypres- Comnes canal, the allies had
total of 10000 troops against them.
One of tie new German di-
visions arrived at KENNEL from
Verdun April "a.
French Retake Locre.
The French in last nights opera
tions not only drove the Germans
from Locre, but took Hospice and
Locre farm. both strong points lying
to the southeast of the village. Locre
was one Of he most hotly contested
points along the front.
The allied attack south OF Villers-
Bretonneaux yesterday gave rise to
very heavy fighting. Some progress
was made toward reclaiming this po
sition which the enemy held as re-
suit of the German push Wednesday.
The enemy IN counter attack threw
themselves against one French di-
vision seven lines without being able
to get forward,
The British today had nearly 900
German prisoners in the cages as a
result of other counter operations
which began Wednesday night. The
British yesterday also took several
hundred in the fighting north OF
KENNEL.
