BOLSHEVIN HAVE LAUNCHED
 SPRING ATTACK
CContinued from Page One.y


 southeast of Rovono and Staro-Kon- stantinov, where the Reds attempted to cross the S1utch river. East of Ka- menetz-Po odolsk, the battle is still going on, both sides using artillery and bringing up reinforceme ments. Some crack BoISheviki divisions are in line along this sector and cavalry is be- ing used
 Rovono is particularly valuable to the Poles, as through it runs the one railroad by which supplies can be shipped to the army along the south eastern front. In their drive against this city on Tuesday the Bo1sheviki hurled two divisions into the battle in an attempt to outfarlk the Poles. Hand to hand fighting ensued in will lages just east of the Slutch river as the enemy was finally compelled to retire. He resumed the onslaught however, and the struggle is still go- ing on in the vicinity of Bubar and Osuopol, where in spite of their use of heavy artillery in preparation for their assault, the Reds have not suc- ceeded in cross the Slutch.
 In sectors where the Poles have repelled the Soviet hordes, they have found great heaps of bridge building materials which were brought up in preparation for crossing several streams that flow along the front.

GOV. H0L COMB
 AGAIN REFUSES SPECIAL SESSION

When interviewed last night con corning the adoption by the Republi- can state convention or a resolution respectfully requesting him to caH a special session of the Legislature to act on the federal woman suffrage amendment, Governor Holcomb made the following statement:
 1T have read the resolution passed today by the Republican state con vention, do not see how that changes the situation or assists to create the special emergency which authorizes the governor to call a special session.
 The Constitution places the re- .sponsfbtlity upon the governor. I shall not shift it to the delegates to the Republican state convention. I again decline to call a special session.
 '+The adoption by 36 states of the federal suffrage amendment will changN our Constitution, but until it is changed. my oath of office requires me to support it in it's unchanged form. If Connecticut should be one of the S6 states to adopt the suffrage amendment by the vote of the Gen eral Assembly and thereby change our Constitution, without thee on- curing vote of the electors of the state, it would be contrary to the provisions of our Constitution

HORSE OPPOSED
 TO ART POSING SWEET-TOOTH WON

When Paul w Bartlett, the seuIp- tor, started work on his equestrian statue of Lafayette, which the Knights of Columbus will present to the city of Metz next August, he searched far and wide to find a horse to pose for the figure. It was rather a difficult task, for New York is car+idden. and the only horses readily available are utilitarian creatures that draw milk wagons and ash carts
 But, by diligent search, Bartlett found a splendid animal, a real, old fashioned charger that any old fash toned colonel might be proud to be thrown from. MT. Bartlett brbed the groom to bring the horse down to his studio. The entrance is small and cramped. By removing the dn- tel of the door, the horse was able to get through without taking too long a course in contortionisn. The stu dio is large as studios go, but small as stables go, and the horse didn' | have much room to go through pre- liminary friskings before getting ''set.' A few plaster masterpieces were smashed by flying hoofs, and the neighbors thought a first class studio row in progress. They were about to send for the police when MT. Bart lett, who chews candy instead of ci- gars when at work, reached for Q. large caramel and 'bravely thrust i. into the horses mouth. Instantly there was peace.
 But it is going to cost Bartlett and the K-C a tidy sum for caramels be- fore the horse-raode1 finishes the job on the $50,0o0 statue.

MRS. WARD DIES; WAS AN ENGLISH AUTHOR OF NOTE
London, March 24-Mrs Humph- ry Ward died today of heart disease in a London hospital.

'<Our later George Eliot,'' as Eng Nsh enthusiasts used to call the au- thor of Robert Elsmere,'' in the days when William E. Gladstone deemed it not unworthy of him to review her book, was by accident of birth 8 native of remote Tasmania. She was born there on June Il, 1851, during the service of her father, Thomas Arnold, as inspector of schools at Hobart, and she received the baptisma1 names of Mary Augusta
 Her father was a brother of Mat thew Arnold and son of Arnold of Rugby, and was himself conspicuous in the Oxford movement, forsaking the school of Stanley, Jowett and Clough to become a follower of New man and then fluctuating between Catholicism and Ang1icanism. He spent many years at Oxford, as a man of letters, and his daughter was brought up in the atmosphere of that university. At the age of twenty one she was confirmed in these early tendencies by her marriage to Thom- as Humphrey Ward, a son of the Rev. Henry Ward, a fellow and tutor of Grasenose, and subsequently an editor and author of eminence, who survives her.
 In her later years Mrs Ward pro duced books much more rapidly and numerously than at first. Her list comprised 'fF'enwick's Career 1906;
 'tDiana Mallory" 1908; Daphne, J 1909; Canadian Born" 1910; '+The Case of Richard Meynell," 1911; The Mating of Lydia 1913; ''The Coryston Family" 1913; "Delia 1 BIanchflower," 1914; "Eltham House,
 1915; "A Great Success 1916; 'Iady
 Connie," 1916; 'tEngfand's Effort l 1916; Towards the Goal" 1917; Missing 1917, and "A Writers l Recollections,' 1918. The three vol:
 umes in 1916 and 1917 were wal
 books.
 1 Mrs. Ward was the founder in 1S9i l of the vacation schools and play cen l ters in London, and was for the res 1 of her life chairman of the commit
 tee in charge of that work. Sht
 was the foremost opponent of grant 1 ing the Parliamentary franchise tC
 women. She organized in 1908 tn, | Women's National Anti-Suffrag to writing and speaking in public il

 ''I talked to MT. Daniels the other day and he doesn't remember any thing about that" said the witness. 'but he did order me to stop enroll ment then and several other tanes.''
 Captain Palmer told the committee that when war was declared the navy was short 67,o0O regular and reserve enlisted men and about 2,500 officers form it's peace requirements and that at least 10000 additional enlisted men and gnany more officers were needed for destroyers as soon as war was de ciared.
 The witness said Congress was not to blame, as it gave everything the department asked for,
 Replying to a question by Chairman Hale, Captain Palmer declared that Secretary Daniels did all he could to help get men "in the critical days of the spring of 1917."
 "The secretary" he said, backed up all efforts to get enlisted men. He was anxious to get them.''
