Currants from Greece are now

GERMANS AMBUSH
 AMERICAN PATROL
FIVE AMERICANS KILLED, FOUR ARE MISSING AND ONE
 WOUNDED.

With the American Army in Franee.-Fiye American soldiers are believed to have been killed, four are missing and one was wounded when an American patrol was ambushed in No Mans Land by superior force of Germans.
 The spot where the encounter oc- cured is an isolated one and reports concerning the casualties inflicted by both sides are meager.
 Only one American is known to have escaped the trap of the Ger mans, which was laid in front of our wires. One survivor, who craWled back to the American lines with a bullet in his chest, is unable to talk.
 Our artillery immediately laid a barrage around the ambushing Ger mans and some are believed to have been accounted for The infantry ac- counted for others, as it is certain the attacked patrol fought to 8 fin ish according to information trick ling in from the front line.
 Our patrolling soldiers were work ing in front of our wire entangle- ments when big enemy patrol that had been divided into parties which took up concealed positions opened fire at close range. The night was clear and the forms of the Americans made the best possible targets for the hidden Germans. There is no doubt but that the Americans battled gallantly until completely overpow- cred.
 The artillery duel in our sector continues. Scores of airplanes were oat observing and making photo graphs. The men in the line were thrilled by a number of air duels, high in the sky over their heads.
 An American general now com- mands the sector of the front recent ly taken over by our troops. When the Americans first entered the sec tor it was under the command of a French general commanding a cer- tain large unit of the French army. Now we have control.
 In turning the sector over to the American general on February the French commander issued general order in which he expressed complete satisfaction with our troops and was confident that the sector was in good hands, and if attacked, would defend it with great valor.

2,340,0OO GERMANS
 ON WESTERN FRONT
ALLIES WILL MEET TEuTONs WITH MOST STUBBORN
 RESISTANCE.
HEAVY ARTILLERY FIGHTING
American sharpshooters and Artil- lerymen Are Keeping Up Their Good Work Against Germans
 Airplanes Over Americans.

New York-Although under the good weather the ground in France and Belgium is fast drying out and the Teutonic allies are continuing to pour thousands of troops to positions behind the battle line, there still has been no indication that the enemy is ready to begin his much advertised attack. Bombardments and patrol en- counters along the entire front are still taking place, as for many days past, but the roar of the guns no- where has reached that volume of drumfire which in the past always has heralded great infantry attacks.
 While the German endorsements have been coming up the entente con- .manders everywhere have strengthen ed their positions and optimism is ex- pressed both from British and French that should the Germans strike--no matter how early-they will meet with most stubborn resistance.
 The Associated Press correspond ent, with the French headquarters. says the French authorities consider that the total number of the enemy now facing the French, British, American and Belgian troops or held in reserve aggregates 2,340,000 men. Military authorities in Great Britain have said recently that preponder- ance Of weight in both man and gun power still is with the entente armies.
 Several additional successful raids by the British, in which German offl- cers and men were captured and oth- CTS killed, and heavy artillery fight ing between the French and the Ger mans on various sectors sums up the activities on the western front.
 The American sharpshooters and artillerymen are keeping up their good work against the Germans, hay ing with their shrapnel fire compell- ed the enemy to almost abandon first line trenches and with their sharp shooters and rapid-fire guns forced snipers to quit their posts and seek safety. German airships are still fly ing over the American positions, seeking information as to the num- Der of men there.
 While the Austrians still are try ing out the Italian line on the Sette Communi and at other points and meeting with bloody defeat, behind lfhe fighting line they and the Ger mans are playing the role of vandals, using violence against the natives, pillaging their homes and stores and sending back to their own countries foodstuffs and other spells. Women and children are being brutally treat ed by the troops.

J. $. UNDAUNTED
 BY RUSSIAN PEACE
ONE OF GERMAN BOASTS IS l. 5oo,ooo PRISONERS WILL BE
 RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
TO LIMIT FOOD SUPPLIES
Best Wheat Regions Are in Remote Sections of Ukraine and Such Poor
 Condition the Agriculture Situa-
 tion May Have To Be Made Over.

Washington. = With the opening of the great campaign of 1918 on the western front apparently within sight, military men considered the situation created by the signing of a peace pact between the central pow CTS and the new Ukraine republic and the decision of the Bolsheyik Russian government to stop fighting and de- mobilize the army.
 Their conclusions are not discour- aging. These events apparently will free enormous German forces for the impending battle in the west and also furnish ned sources of food, but many factors detract from the advantages to the central powers.
 One of the German boasts is that presumably 100000 prisoners of war held in Russia will be released to strengthen the German army. How ever, officials here say that the great majority of the soldiers captured by the Russians are Austrians, not avail able for western front operations by
 
 CTS are civilians or camp followers of one kind or another and so far as known only a small number of Ger man troops were captured on that front. Men from the prison camps are regarded as of doubtful military value for some time to come, as the Russians, unable to feed their own soldiers, hardly have improved the health of captives.
 There is doubt here also as to the extent to which the agricultural re- sources of the Ukraine or of Russia can be brought to aid the German people in the near future. Failure of the Russian transportation system worked in Germany's interest by un- dermining the fighting power of the Russian armies. The same agency now will work against the central powers in getting out food supplies. The best wheat regions are in remote sections of the Ukraine and in such poor condition that the agricultural situation may have to be made over, a difficult process with the confusion that prevails.
 Demobilization of the Russian ar- my will not mean that the Austro- German-Bulgar forces on the frontiers can be wholly withdrawn. There will be a constant threat of renewed hos tilities and the Teutons must see to it that ample force is always at hand.

CONTINUE TO FIGHT
 FOR A JUST PEACE
PRESIDENT REPLIES TO PEACE PROPOSALS OF THE GEN.
 TRAIL POWERS.

Washington.-Pre Wilson ad- dressed Congress to clear the atmos- phere of any confusion resulting from the recent speeches on peace terms by the German chancellor and the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister. He repeated that until the military masters of Germany are ready to con- sider peace on principles of justice, the United States will continue the fight it is just beginning for the safe ty of itself and mankind.
 In the speech of Count von HerI- ling, the German chancellor, the pres ident found no approach to peace, but rather a proposal to end the war on German terms and to set up a league of nations to maintain the balance of power thus established. Count Czer- min, the Austrian spokesman, the president said, employed a very friendly tone, seemed to see the fun damental elements of peace and prob ably would have gone much further had it not been for Austria's alliances and her dependence upon Germany. 
 Members of Congress consider the address notice to the central pow CTS that the United States cannot be turned aside from the object for which it is fighting and warning to Congress and the American people that the task of sending the nations fighting men to the front must not be 1nterfered with by equivocal and mis- leading utterances of Teutonic states men. The president was warmly re- ceived and cheered as he concluded and leaders without respect to party expressed hearty approval of his words
 Diplomats are watching with keen interest "extra official negotiations" which depart so radically from all of the ancient and accepted practices of diplomacy They say that peace ne gotiations on a great scale are going on, only instead of being conducted in the secrecy of the round table conference, which was the aim of the Central powers in the early stages of the war, the great war issues now are being expounded and critically analysed in the light of publicity and the worlds forum.

WATER TO STRICKEN.
Big Truck Relived Much
Suffering in the High
Spots Today

Flying the Red Cross flag and the

truck, which was chartered by the
local Red Cross chapted visited
scores OF homes in the city where
there were cases Of sicknkess and
carried comfort in the shape Of bar
rels Of water obtained from the city
mains.
Although portions Of the city were
supplied with water today from the
reservoir many high places were es-
tirely without and the relief brought
by the messengers was gladly and
Thankfully received by these peo-
pie.
The matter Of supplying these
families with water was taken under
consideration yesterday by the chap
ter and il was decided 10 carry what
relief IL was possible TO secure to
these stricken families. Early this
morning II. a. Williamson, treasurer
Of the local chapter, was out with
the dray which had been secured
with a list OF some twenty or more
familie who were 10 be supplied
with water
Late this afternoon practically
every case which had been brought
10 the notice Of the committee had
been supplied with water. The worst
situation was encountered on Rob
inston street, whore there are a num-
Der OF cases OF typhoid fever.
II is urged that in order to make
this project a success that all physi-
clans having cases Of typhoid fever
under their supervision report same
promptly TO the committee.

this morning, as indicated by the wa

At a late hour this afternoon the
one city water pump was still going

about three and one-half million Of
