MEXICAN ARMY IN
A FRANCE, April Fl - (As-
ISOLATED Press)-American troops
yesterday met the "shock" troops
Of Germany in a charge mile
wide and threw them back in de-
feat, inhicting heavy casualties.
There were gas and high explo-
sive shells hurled into the Ameri-
can lines as preliminary, 40
tilla of German airplanes circled
over the American positions,
dropping bombs and spraying the
trenches with machine guns, and
twelve hundred German veterans
in the charge.
When the lively, little battle
was over, the Americans were
holding their lines practically in
tact, the Germans had been de-
feated, leaving their dead behind
them in retreat, and two Hun air
planes lay wrecked behind the
American lines.
ASSAULT DELIVERED
The battle began yesterday
morning along a mile front west
OF the Renners forest, northwest
Of Toul, in the valley Of the Riv-
err Mad, the German artillery
drenching the American positions
with hundreds of gas shells and
hundreds more Of high explo,
sives. The sbombardment, was
maintained until noon, when the
infantry assault was delivered by
twelve hundred men.
Preceding the infantry were a
score of airplanes, flying low,
which passed over the American
trenches, spraying the defenders
with machine gun bullets as they
rushed from their dugouts to man
their line against the advancing
infantry. The German airmen ex-
pected to disorganize the Ameri-
can defense, but in this they were
disappointed, the Americans
promptly smashing two of the
enemy planes in mid-air, tumb-
ling these down with dead pilots
and machine gunners.
AMERICANS COUNTER
The first smash OF the Germans
cleared portion Of the American
trenches and the enemy entered
the village of Seicheprey, twelve
miles directly east of St. Mihiel.
An immediate American counter
attack was organized and the viii
lage was cleared of Germans af-
ter furious hand to hand strug-
gle in which the bayonet was
freely used and quarter was nei-
Their asked nor given.
Taking part in the American
counter were a number of Amer
lean airplanes, which attacked the
German flyers and drove them
back. All the American flyers re-
turned from their fighting in safe
ty.
The American lines are prac-
tically intact, only a portion of
the advanced trenches remaining
in German hands.
EXPECTATIONS SEEN
The German infantry advanced
the expectation of holding what
ever ground they might win.
They carried entrenching tools
and each had rations to keep him
supplied until the gains would be
consolidated.
The German losses in killed
were heavy, but only three were
taken prisoners No American

WOULD GUARD STATUES
Paris Protests Against Neglect OF
Art Treasures.
Allowed to Stand Exposed to Air Raid
ers-Promise Of Aid
Fails.

Paris.-Protest has arisen In many
quarters here against the deliberate
neglect Of many of the priceless stat
ues and works of art in Paris, which
have been permitted to stand unpro-
tected against possible damage from
enemy air raids and bOmbardments.
The special commission charged with
the duty of providing protection for
public monuments of art has been Sc
verely criticized.
Last year when the danger of air
raids seemed comparatively remote
dozen or more monuments and statues
were ordered 10 be protected with sand
bags. Some time afterward loaded
sacks were placed at distance from
the monuments or statues waiting TO
be put In place. There they were al
lowed to remain, nothing further be-
ing done. The bags lay about the
statues for weeks.
In the meanwhile there were several
air raids. Fortunately no monument
or statue was hit. On the initiative
or a group Oh GltILtUS W.T. n vi tiit Ilo-
lection of some of the masterpieces
was begun, and many historic pieces
like the VendOme Column. the Obelisk,
the StrassbOurg Monument and the art
works In the Luxembourg gardens
were given some adequate protection.
Street urchins anxious to play in
the trenches" climbed up among the
bags, causing o loose one to slip, with
the result that thousands of bags fell
In an avalanche about many of the
statues. 1t was thereupon found that
the bags were filled with stones or
clinkers.
Art lovers protested and called the
attention of the commission to the
fact that stones and clinkers afforded
no protection against German bombs.
The Paris municipal csuncil Is now
taking measures to remedy the present
condition and promises that every valu-
able piece Of statuary and historical
art will be reasonably protected.

PRICES SOAR INn LONDON
Saloon Keepers Make Up for Profit

London.-The whisky and spirit
prices have limited the power of the
saloon keeper to profiteer In these ar
ticles, with the result that the prices
of wines have gone up with a run. A
glass of port, which at one time was 8
cents, is now "a cents. Mixed YER
mouth has risen to "a cents a glass, or
even to SO cents in some West End es-
adjustments.

creased In the case Of Italian YER

much as S1.S0, and the price of inferior
