Forty Members of Hun
Bread Collecting Creu
Killed by Peasants

Moscow. Monday, March 25.-
Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of
the German emperor, and one of his
sons have arrived at Reval Esthonia.
They were greeted heartily by the
German population but the Estho-
mans refused to participate in the
reception. The visit is attributed
to a desire to create pro-German
feeling in the Baltic provinces.
The Germans are busy collecting
and exporting breadstuffs from the
Pskov district, northeast of Dvinsk.
At Perchorskaya, near Pskov, forty
members of German detachments
requisitioning bread were killed by
the peasants. Bridges were de-
stroyed by the peasants who also
harrassed the Germans by carrying
away the bread and destroying carts
and wagons.

Frontiers, Emperor Says

Amsterdam, March 27.-The Volks
Zeitung of Cologne says that, accord
ing to General Won Ludendorff, En-
peror William has been deeply i'm
pressed by the terrible devastation in
the battle area, remarking:
How glad we should be that our
country has been spared such ter

keeping the fighting beyond our from

ALLIES STILL ADVANCE,

Paris, July 30.-The Allied forces con-
tinued TO gain ground at almost all
points on the Soissons-R Rheims salient
Monday. The principal progress, ac-
cording to the War Office announcement
last night was on the west flank and
around Fere-en-Tardenois Numerous

THE day was marked by very vio-
lent engagements along the whole front
north Of the Marne. The enemy. whose
resistance was powerfully increased,
disputed ground with us foot by foot and
attempted to force us back by numer-
Gus counter-attacks. Our troops re-
pulsed all assaults and made new
progress.

employed observation and combat

in the air was marked.
Although the German operations have

no good military reason to believe the
strength OF the defense Is intended other

check the great pressure OF the Allied
