FOE CRUSHED BY TANKS.
Terrible Losses Suffered by Germans
in Recent Fighting.

Paris.-The slaughter caused by the
small British tanks among concen-
tration Of the enemy near Cachy in
Wednesdays fighting appears to have
been even greater than was originally
reported. A few of these little engines,
which are much faster than the ordi
nary big tanks. made the assault 81

the enemy's infantry, which were form
ing for an attack, that the Germans
we're unable to scatter before they
were fiercely deluged with machine gun
bullets.
Not only that, but large number of
men were caught beneath the tanks
and ground into the earth.
Prisoners estimate that at least two
and probably three German companies
were wiped out in few minutes.
The machines returned in such hor'
rible condition from the shambles that
they had to be washed down.

YOUTHS WHO HAVE RECENTLY

WashingtOn.-Drafti of men who

Under an amendment by Representa-
tive Hull of Iowa they will be put at
the foot of the list, in their classes,

This and another provision which
does away with military exemption for
divinity students, will necessitate Il

Chairman Dent of the military COM
mittee announced that the war depart
ment will order the registration of the
men eligible by this bill June ., the
anniversary of the first enrolment. All
men who have reached q by that date
must register; they will be classed
after answering questionnaires, on ex,
actly the same terms as men enrolled
year ago.
Under an agreement proposed
amendments to register men from u

plicating and delaying the principa
measure.
Divinity students lose their exemp

because there has been abnormal in

GREAT NAVAL RAID
ON U-B0AT BASES
BRITISH AND FRENCH ATTEMPT
TO BLOCK ZEEBRUGGE AND
OSTEND CHANNELS.
Obsolete Ships Loaded With Concrete
Are Sunk at the Entrance Of Canal,
Two Blockading Ships Being Run
Ashore at Ostend.

LOndOn.-It is believed that the en-
trance to the Bruges canal has been
blocked effectively in consequence of
u naval raid on April % by the British
and French.
Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the adj
miralty, reported to the house of COM
mons that the raid was undertaken
under command of Vice Admiral Roger
Reyes, commanding at Dover. French
destroyers co-operated with the British
forces. Six obsolete cruisers, all from
twenty to thirty years old, took part
in the attack. They were the Brilliant,
Sirius, Iphigenia, Intrepid, Theta and
Vindictive.
The first five of these were filled
with concrete and were to be sunk In
the channel and Entrances to the two
ports if this could possibly be man.
aged.
At Ostend two of the blockading
ships were run ashore and blown up.
While the operation was in progress,
British parties were landed to distract
the enemy. The officer who developed
the scheme of attack was killed.
Storming parties were landed on the
mole from the cruiser Vindictive. The
casualties to the personnel. said Sill
Eric, were heavy in proportion to the
number engaged. An enemy destroyer
was torpedoed at Zeebrugge.
Two of the blockading ships were
sunk and blown up at the entrance tc
the Bruges canal. The piling beside
the mole at Zeebrugge was blown ny
by an obsolete ship filled with explo
sives.
| The casualties to British craft were
one destroyer and two coastal motor
boats sunk and two launches missing
The French co-operated In the raid
Sir Eric said. He characterized 1t al
an extremely gallant and hazardous
undertaking, carried out under un
known conditions Of navigation. Their
was high development of the smOk
attack.
The object, he continued, was t
block the entrances to Ostend and Zee
brugge. Monitors were used in addition
to stOrming parties and blOckadin
ships.
The stOrming parties attacked vi

SHIPPING WORK
FAST IMPROVING
ADVANCE REPORTED IN THE
NUMBER OF SHIPS AND
ROUND-TRIP SPEED.
Troops and Supplies Going Across the
Ocean to Aid Allies at a Rate
Undreamed Of but q Few
Weeks Ago.

/ Washington.-Great improvement in
the shipping situation was reported
Friday by the war council of the war
department in It's weekly conference
with the house military affairs COM
'mittee..
Both in number of ships and in
speed made for the round trip, it was
said, new marks were being set. As
against the old time of from six to
eight weeks for trip to 60 to and
from Europe, avoiding submarines, n
recent record has been made in sixteen
days.
Weather, as well MS an increasing
knowledge of how U-boats operate, has
been q factor, it was said.
The net result has been, it was re-
ported, that troops and supplies are
going across at a rate unthought-of a
few weeks ago.
Only brief study was made Of the
present stage of the German Offens-
i've, the exact strategy of which has
not yet fully developed. But war coun-
Gil members said that the allies, in the
respite between Teuton blows, had i'm
proved their positions and strength.

that the following is not far from the
true terms of the agreement
.Chinese expeditionary forces sent to

HOLLAND SUBMITS
TO HUN DEMANDS
CRISIS is BELIEVED TO HAVE
PASSED AS RESULT OF THE
SUBMISSION OF DUTCH.
Relations Between Holland and Ger.
many Have Been Almost at Break
ing Point for Some Time Because
of Demands Of Teu.ons.

LOndOn.-Hollnnd has yielded to Ger
many's demands concerning transporta-
ton and the supply of sand and gravel,
although it is understood that tn.
amount of sand and gravel will b.,
limited, instead of unlimited, according
to dispatch from The Hague to the
Daily Mail, dated Sunday.
1t is added that a general undertak-
ing will be required from German,
that the sand and gravel will not H.,
used for military purposes.
RumOrs are current in the Dutch
capital, the dispatch adds, that DR..
John LOudon, minister of foreign af.
fairs. will resign. These. it is said, ar,
based on the supposition that he could
not retain office now that his under
taking respecting the gravel must he
revoked.
In summarizing the situation, the dis,
patch continues, it is felt that the crisis
with Germany has passed, although the
solution is in no wise an ideal one
for Holland.
Relations between Holland and Ger
many have been at almost a break
ing point for some days owing to the
German demands that Holland permit
the transmission over her canals and
railways of sand and gravel from Ger
many to Belgium. The controversy
was three-cornered one, as Great Br-
tain had warned Holland to take steps
to make certain that the sand and
gravel would not be used for military

HUNS ARE HALTED
At EVERY POINT
AFTER A MONTH OF FIGHTING,
ALLIES ARE STILL IN POSSES
SION OF STRAGETIc cENTERs.
Americana Fight First Battle Of Any
Magnitude East Of st. Mihiel and
Come Out Victorious In Hand to
Hand Fighting.

WashingtOn.-The situation of the
allies on the west front is critical, but
not as bad as the Germans would
have us believe. After month Of
fighting, the allies are still in possess
sion of the strategic centers which the
Germans had planned to capture. The
offensive Of Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg has developed with scientific
precision, but he has found himself
halted at every step forward.
While the allies have not attempted
an offensive of their own and, there
fore, are under the necessity Of con-
tinuing to Withstand repeated enemy
blows, they have been SO successful on
the defense that they have not yet
been compelled to surrender central
base of operations.
The loss Of Ypres has been forecast
In the dispatches and the world expects
the British to retire from that historic
salient, but If the retirement is made in
good order to p nearby line, the allies
will still be in strong position for the
defense Of the channel ports Of Dun
kirk and Calais. At the same time
they win be able to boast that they
have made the enemy pay dearly, If
not quite enough, for whatever gains
he has made.
The loss Of Ypres and large part
OF the last remnant of Belgian Elan
ders will have depressing effect upon
the Belgians and, perhaps, upon the
British and French, but Ypres never
was great supply base. 1t was q
kind Of advance fertilization. The loss
Of the surrounding high ground Is seri.
GUS because 1t forces the British back
into the low coastal district and gives
the enemy the best observation posts
n The Americans fought their first &C
ton Of any magnitude over week
ago in the region east OF. st. Mihiel
The fight centered at the village Of
Seicheprey.
The Germans 1900 strong attacked
the American lines and also the ad
joining French lines. They entered
the village Of Seicheprey and captured
1t after q fierce fight, in which they
took 1873 American prisoners. Tn,
Americans, aided by the French, quick
~ organized c0unter-attack and. OF
the following day, were again in pos
session Of the village. At times tn
fighting was hand to hand, with tn
Americans victorious.
One Of the most remarkable exploit
of any war was the British naval dasl
into the harbors Of Zeebrugge ant
Ostend. The aim was to block bot
harbors by sinking obsolete cruiser
laden with concrete. At Ostend tn
operations were simple, but failed. A
Zeebrugge they were extremely con-
pick and met with reasonable meas
ure Of success.
