GERMANS FAIL ITO BREAK THROUGH BRITISH line
FIRST STAGE OF OFFENSIVE ON THE
WESTERN FRONT VICTORY FOR THE ALLIES
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SUMMARY OF WAR

British soldiers have met and with
stood the most stupendous attack
Germany has hurled against the
western front in three and ons-haIf
years of warfare. On q front of more
than fifty miles the armed forces of
democracy are at grips with the
forces of Prussianism and what may
be the decisive struggle in the great
war is raging in northern France.
In their first onslaught, the enemy,
after . gigantic bombardment from
great masses of guns, passed the
British outposts at some points and
attained the battle line, but nowhere
did the Germans gain the obeetiVes
planned. Regiment after regiment
was hurled against the defenses of
the British front and Field Marshal
Haig reports the German losses as
exceptionally heavy.
Desperate fighting continues all
along the lines from the Sensss TO
the oiss and especially on the Cam
brai sector. Enemy efforts before
Cambraiwere aimed principally to the
north and south of the salient left
after the fighting ceased there last
November with the evident purpose
of cutting off the salient and driV-
ing through the opening toward the
old battlefield Of the Somme.
Germany's latest offensive finds
both sides prepared for the shock Of
prolonged and ssnguinary combat.
For months the Germans have been
training troops and moving up guns
and supplies behind their lines be-
tween Arras and st. Quentin. The
British also have been active and
l.
eny might deliver and had antiei-
pated that the offensive movement
would come where il did.
Behind the British lines is the
devastated area over which the Ger
mans Fstreated last March. Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg declared at
the time that the devastation was
carried out, not only to hamper the
allied armies, but TO provide battle
field for the future. The German
attack may be only feint, but a
large breach in the British lines
might involve the safety of Paris
and Annisus and the French channel
ports from the mouth of Seine to
Belgium. ~
German artillery fire also has been
intense on q lengthy front north Of
the Ia Bassee canal and IN the
French front the Germans have car
ried out minor attacks northeast of
Vsrdun and in lorraine. French
troops repuIssd both attempts with
loss. t.. H
British monitors and naval aircraft
have made q combined attack on
ostend, Belgium, q German aerial
and submarine base, and British sea-
planes have attacked enemy mine
sweepers near Hslgoland with ma
chine gun fire. In the attack on
Ostend British sirmen brought down |
five German machines, while the |
monitors bombarded the town heav- |
lily.
Germany, according to unofficial
reports from The Hague, considers |
that the attitude of Holland toward
he AnuIo-America shipping de-
nand has changed the relations be-
.Heen the American and Dutch gov.
Irnments. The same reports say
hat Germany would take. IL as. q

larding the use Of seized Dutch ships

LEAGUE PAPER
RAPS WILBUR AS
R. c. SECRETARY

In this weeks edition of The North
Dakota Leader, one OF A. c. Town
ley's string of papers furthering the
league propaganda work, an attack
is made on Harry Curran Wilbur,
executive secretary of the North Da-
kota Red Cross.
The Leader publishes a letter writ
ten by Mr.. Wilbur some time ago,
recently made public by r. L. Met
calfe, of the Nebraska council of de-
fense, and published by a number Of
newspapers, including The Christian
Science Monitor.
In this letter Mr.. Wilbur deals with
a number Of the activities Of the
league in North Dakota, the failure
of the state to handle its quota in
the first Liberty loan, Mr.. Townley's
famous speech at Williston last June,
Governor Fraziers attitude toward
the league propaganda and his par
tiCipation in the La Toilette meet
ing in st. Paul, and numerous 9TH
er features.
The Leader charges that Mr.. Cur
ran nlisrepresented the governors
attitude toward the Kate O'Hare
sedition case.
In conclusion, Mr.. Towniey's paper
demands that Mr.. Curran should
resign his position so as not to en-
danger the success of the. Red Cross
work in North Dakota. =.

AGAINST HOAN
~ Assoclated Press.l

Milwaukee, Wis. March %. - No
action has been taken seeking the
Indictment of Mayor Hoan, Socialist,
in connection with his platform IN
which he charged that the American
people were plunged into the war by
the treachery of the ruling class OF
the country.
Wheeler p. Bloodgood, vice chair
man Of the county council Of defense,
said TODAY that the platform upon
which Mayor Hoan stood and was
renonlinated, contained a treasonable
charge against President Wilson and
congress, "for who else could the
ruling class, Of that platform in
clude?
Mr.. Bloodgood said he had called
attention Of the federal district at
tOrney to the situation and also the
department of justice but that so far
nothing had been done.
Mr.. Bloodgood said that If the peo-
pie OF this county are ready, as the
primary votes would indicate, to
stand with the Socialist and abandon
the honor Of the nation and stab In
the hack the boys in France, then
we should be treated as an enemy
stronghold"
"And no man standing upon such
a platform should be permitted TO
take Office" he said.
IF the people of this county see
ft to elect such men then there must
be an appeal to the law and to the
federal authorities.
The time for mincing words and
lodging facts has passed. If the
majority Of this county want to join
Mr.. Berger in a revolution, let us
have lit now"
Mr.. Bloodgood said that the eyes
of the world are on Milwaukee as
the result Of the verdict of the polls
on Tuesday.
He said he was proud to be one Of
the hundreds of thousands Of what
was termed exquisite gentry" whose
sons are In the ranks as enlisted men
and are going to France in the holds
of the transports to do their part in
a righteous war
The United States district attorney
admitted that while the governments
has been called to the
Of the Socialist platform,
nothing had been done in the
matter and he had nothing to give
out for publication.

CRv Associated Press.l

With the American Army in
France, Thursday, March 21.-Enemy
first and second line positions on a
part of the sector east of LuneVille
have been destroyed completely by
American artillery fire. After the raid
into the German positions last night
the American gunners shelled the
positions heavily all night and this
morning.
Today a patrol without assistance
from the artillery crossed No Mans
Land and found that the first and
second line had been wiped out. The
patrol also obtained additional in
formation and returned without
casualties, the Germans apparently
having decided not to modest them.
Artillery firing by both sides on
this sector continued all day,

On the sector northwest of Toul a
number of Germans deserted last
night and surrendered to an Ameri-
can patrol in a certain wood. The
Germans approached the Americans

ers were turned over to the French.
Much information OF value was OBJ
tanned from the deserters who said
they were fed up with the war and
decided they would rather be prison
ers. Included in the information OBJ
tanned from the men was the state
ment that during the gas protector
attack against the American lines on
Feb. q, 900 projectors were employ
ed. One-half the proiectiles fired fell
within the German lines and the gas
oYercame many of the Germans. The
next day, according to the deserters,
IL Germans were killed and 30
wounded while taking out the dead,
American intelligence officers are
inclined to doubt the story regarding
900 projectors. American informa-
tion is that. only rs were used.
An American patrol last night
entered the enemy first line and re-
mained there six hours but did not
see any Of the enemy. 1t is reported
that the Germans recently had con-
structed trenches that are concrete

British Army Headquarters in
France, March 22.-The exact British
line cannot be made public at pres

furnish the enemy with valuable in-
formation.
Last night was fairly quiet along
the front. This morning the Ger
mans were bombing I'm the region of
CrOiselles. There were indications
that they intended to continue their
attacks today.
The weather is cold and bleak. "A
heavy mist makes air reconnais-
sances impossible. This is of adVan-
tage to the British as the enemy ia
deprived Of greatly needed aerial OBJ
serVation.
The Germans in many sections
yesterday attacked in three waves OF
infantry, followed up by shock
troops. AS a result they suffered
very heavy casualties.
The heavily massed German artil-
lery has been badly hammered by
the British guns.
One Of the most brilliant British
