MEASURE PROPOSES ID MAKE PRICE OF SILVER $l OUNCE
Proposed To Melt 250,000,- 900 Dollars Into Bullion For Sale and Export; Estab- fish Standard Price.
CRr Reriew I.enssd Nirel

WASHINGTON, April 9.-M1lting into bullion of not more than 25O.O0O,- coo silver dollars now in the treasury for sale and export to pay trade bal ances for the repurehase Of silver al S1 an ounce. is proposed in an admin istration bill introduced today by Sen ator Pullman as an emergency war measure Silver certificates would be withdrawn from circulation as the dol lars are taken from the treasury and federal reserve bank notes Of new S1 and S2 denomination substituted:
 If enacted, the measure virtually would fix standard price for silver at S1 an ounce, several cents aove the present market price, and stabilize the world market, since the United States produces almost half of the total The bill also is intended to simulate silver production, and to use the treasury's reserve stock of that metal, instead of gold, to settle this country's commercial trade bal ances in the Orient and elsewhere.
 Agree on Price of S1
 In anticipation of action of congress, Raymond T. Baker, director of the mint, has formulated an agreement with silver producers and dealers to sell to the government at the rate. The probable result would be for the government to absorb the country's en- tire output, about 74,0OO,00O ounces last year. Officials have stated they would make arrangements to supply quantities of silver to iewlers and manufacturers requiring it.
 The bill would permit the secre- tary of the treasury to fix the selling price of the governments silver. but it is assumed this would be not less than s1. India, China and apan. need silver most for coinage, and quantities also might be exported to South Amer ican countries and European neutrals whose trade balances are against the United States India's requirements

 Al least two of the trenches will be taken Thursday afternoon. A bar age fire has been thrown down be tween the second and third trenches and the workers are advancing firm " on th.s position.

 A number of casualties reported are believed to have occurred among the engineer units that took part in the great battle in Picardy.
 Issuing of daily casualty list was suspended after receipt of a general order from Secretary Baker in France. that in future all news relat- ing to the expeditionary forces must come from the headquarters of Gen eral Pershing. While it was not be licved the order was intended tO ref CT to the casualty lists. Acting Sec retary Crowell and Major General March. acting chief of staff. decided to hold them up until a formal rIfTIng could be obtained from Mir Baker.
 Pressure still is being exercised to have published the home addresses and next of kin of each man named in the casualty list.
 President Wilson is understood to nave the matter under consideration now. hut it is expected to withhold final decision until he has had an op- portunity to discuss the matter with Secretary Baker on the latter's return from Europe.

Great Bravery Shown During Hard Fighting As Ameri- can Troops Slaughtered Thousands of Germans.
Ry Review Leased wIrel


 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRINGE. Monday. April S.-The Am erican railway engineers who helped ster the tide of the onrushing Ger mans during the opening days of the battle now in progress fought shoulder to shoulder with Canadian engineers in carrying out their task They held their ground stubbornly and only re- tired to previously prepared positions when forced to do so. and inflicted casualties by the thousands upon the Germans
 When the German attack began the Americans were working in the rear lines with the Canadians under Canadi- an command. They quickly threw down their tools and seized the wea- pons with which they had been armed for some months and formed them selves into a fighting unit. The Ger mans came on and finally reached the positions where the Americans were waiting.
 The exact number of the engineers cannot be given, but they were com paratiyely small. As the first gray wave of the enemy advanced, the Am ericau forces let them come until they were within certain range; then they opened fire. pouring in storm of bIH- lets Gaps appeared in the advancing lines al many places. some Of them large. where the machine guns had chewed through.

 He added. however. that indie ations are that in the near future General Pershing's men will be actively opposing the Germans in their supreme effort on the west ern front.
 The purpose of the German high command in its thrust. Mir. Crowell said. is to drive a wedge between the British and French armies. roll up the former force 10 the sea and capture the Chan mel ports. No Bavarian or Aus trian troops have been employed in the battle, the speaker assert ed. the German leaders depend ing upon the Prussian troops, the flower of their army. to carry through to victory.

GERMANS MAKE SUDDEN DRIVE ON NEW FRONT.
Portugese and British Lose Advanced Positions When Enemy Attacks Fiercely After Heavy Cannonade.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, April 9.-(By the Associat ed Press)-AnOther sector of the British theatre suddenly developed intense fighting today. when the Ger mans delivered a heavy attack over approximately an eleven mile front between Giyenchy, La Bassee and a point east of Fleurbaix just below Armnetieres. A Portugese sector is included in the line involved. East of Le Plantin and east of Petition the enemy appeared to have gained a footing in advanced defences, accord ing to the latest reports and a fierce battle was raging all along the sec tor. Le Plantin is northwest of Civ enchy and Petition lies to the east of Laventie.
 At Givanchy and on the left of the front attacked the allies apparently are holding their ground in the very heavy fighting which was reported to be especially bitter east of Festubert The Portugese were being supported by British troops.
 The attack was preceded by viOl- ent bOmbardment which began in the early morning and extended all along the front affected. Bethune, Estaires and other towns behind the British lines have been heavily shelled.
 It is too early to say what relation this new move has with the main Ger man offensive further south. Only time will tell whether it was under taken as a diversion or whether the enemy has a serious idea Of pushing forward here

NO WORRY OVER AIR PLANS
 FRENCH LOSSES STAGGERING

WASHINGTON, April 9.-There is TO reason for Encouragement over the American aviation pro- gram in the view of officials re- sponsible for the completion of the aircraft and the training of flyers needed by General Pershing.
 This it was learned today author itatively. is the feeling of war de- partment heads notwithstanding the fact that they apparently are contemplating an early reorganiza- tiOn of the governments aircraft production machinery.
