liONDON, April 15. Field Marshal
fir John French, commander of the
British expeditionary forces on the con.
tinent, reports the British losses in
the three-days' fighting- at Neuve
Chapelle as follows:
Killed 190 officers, 2337 men.
Wounded 359 officers, 8174 other
ranks.
Missing 23 officers, 172S men.
German Losses Heavier.
Field' Marshal French's report con
tinues: ' '
"The'enemy left several thousand
dead on the field and we have positive
information that upwards of 12,000
wounded were removed by train. Thirty
officers and 1657 of other ranks were
captured."
The British commander's dispatch
concerning the battle ot Neuve
Chapelle. which began early In March,
says among other things: . '
"Considerable delay occurred after
the capture of Neuve Chapelle and the
infantry , was jrreatly disorganized. I
am of the opinion that this, delay would
not have occurred had the clearly ex
pressed order of the general officer
commanding the first army been more
carefully observed."
Cavalry Hh Part.
"Field Marshal French's report, which
covers the battle of Neuve Chapelle
and St. Kloi. under date of April 6,
was published in the Official Gazette
today. The commander-in-chief writes:
"The event of chief interest and im
portance which has taken place is the
victory achieved over the enemy in the
battle of Neuve Chapelle. which- was
fought March 10, 11 and 12.
"The main attack was delivered by
the troops 'of the first army, under
command of General Sir Douglas Haig,
supported by a large force of heavy
artillery, a division ot- cavalry and
some infantry of the general reserve.
Second Army Clvei Support. .
' "Secondary and holding attacks and
demonstrations were made along the
front ot the second army, under direc
tion of the commander, Sir' Horace
Smbth-Dorrien.
While the success attained was due
to the magnificent bearing and indom
itable courage displayed by the troops
of the Fourth and Indian corps, I con
sider that the able and skillful dispo
sitions which were made by the gen
eral officer commanding the first army
contributed largely to the defeat of the
enemy and to the capture of his posi
tion. The energy and vigor with which
Sir Douglas Halg handled his com
mand show him to be a leader of great
ability and power.
"Another action of considerable im
portance was brought about by a sur
prise attack made by the Germans
.March 14 against the Twenty-seventh
division holding the trenches east ot
St. Eloi. A large force ot artillery
was concentrated in this area under the
cover of a mist and a heavy volume of
fire was suddenly brought to bear on
the trenches.
Attack Confuses British.
"At 5 o'clock in the afternoon this
artillery attack was accompanied by
two mine explosions and in the confu
sion caused by these -and by the sud
denness of the attack the position ot
at. Eloi was captured and held for
some hours by the enemy.
"Well-directed and vigorous counter
attacks, in which the troops of the
Fifth army corps showed great -bravery
and determination, restored the sit
uation, by the evening of the 15th."
i - Artillery Opens Attack.
General French, after describing the
main topographical features and show
ing how the Germans had established
a strong post with numerous machine
guns among the big houses, behind
walls and in the orchards, which
flanked the approaches to the village,
proceeds:
"The battle opened at -7:30 o'clock
the morning of March 10 Uy a. powerful
bombardment of thb enemy's position
in Neuve Chapelle." The artillery bom
bardment had been well prepared and
was most effective, except on the ex
treme northern portion of the front of
attack.
"At 8:05 o'clock the 23d and 26th
brigades of the Eighth division as
saulted the German trenches on the
northwest of the village. At the same
hour the Garhwal brigade of the
Meerut (British India) division, which
occupied a position to the south of
Keuve Chapelle, assaulted the German
tranches in its front. The Garhwal
brigade carried the enemy's lines of
entrenchment, where the wire entan
glements had been almost entirely
wept away by our shrapnel, fire.
"The 23d brigade, however, on the
northeast was held up by wire entan
glements which were not sufficiently
cut. At 8:10 o'clock the artillery was
turned on Neuve Chapelle and at 8:35
the advance of the infantry . was con
tinued. The 25th and the Garhwal
brigades pushed on eastward and
northeastward, respectively, and suc
ceeded in getting a footing in the vil
lage. The 23d brigade was still held up
in front of the enemy's wire entan
glements and could not progress.
Heavy losses were suffered, especially
in the Middlesex regiment and the Scot
tish rifles. ...
Kneiny'M Flank Turned.
"The progress, , however, of the
Twenty-fifth brigade into Neuve Cha
pelle. immediately to the south of the
Twenty-third brigade, had the effect
cf turning the southern flank of the
enemy's defenses in front of the Twenty-third
brigad".
"This fact, combined with fiowerful
artillery support, enabled the Twenty
third brigade to get forward between
10 A. M. and It A. M.. and by 11
o'clock the whole of the village of
Neuve Chapelle and the roads leading
north-ward and southward from the
eastern, end of that village were in our
hand?.
"During this time our artillery com
pletely cut off the village and sur
rounding country from any German
reinforcements which could be thrown
into the fight to restore the situation,
by means of curtain of shrapnel fire.
Prisoner subsequently reported that
II attempts at reinforcing the front
line were checked Steps were at once
taken to consolidate the positions won.
"Considerable delay occurred after
the .capture of the Neuve Chapelle po
sition. .The infantry was greatly dis
organized by the violent nature of the
attack and by its passage through the
enemy's trenche3 and the buildings of
the village. .It was' necessary to get
the units to some extent together be
fore pushing on.
Germans Cut Telephone.
"The telephone communications be
ing eft by the enemy's fire rendered
communications between the front and
tho rear most difficult. The left of
the Twenty-third brigade, being held
up, had kept 'back the Eighth divis
ion, and had involved a. portion of
the Twenty-fifth brigade in fight
ing to the north out of its proper di
rection of advance. All this required
adjustment. An orchard held by the
enemy north of Neuve Chapelle also
threatened the flank of an advance
toward the Aubers bridge.
"I am of the opinion that this delay
would not have occurred had the clearly
expressed order of the general office
commanding the first army been care
fully observed.
"The difficulties above enumerated
might have been overcome earlier in
the day if the general officer com
manding the fourth corps Jiad been
able to bring his reserve brigades more
speedily into action. As it .was, a
further advance did not commence be
fore 3:30 P. M. The 21st brigade was
able to form in the open on the left
without a shot being fired at it, thus
Hhowing "that at this time the enemy's
resistance had been paralyzed.
"The brigade pushed forward in the
direction of Moulin-du-Pletre. At first
it made good progress, but was subse
quently held up by machine gun fire
from houses and from a defended work
in the line of the German entrench
ments opposite the right of the 22d
brigade.
Machine Guns Hold Britons.
"Further to the south the 24th
brigade, which had been directed on
Pietre, was similarly held up by ma
chine guns in houses and trenches. The
25th brigade, on the right of the 24th,
was also held up by machine guns from
a brigade held by the Germans over
the River les Layes to the northwest
of Bois du Blez.
"While two brigades of the Meerut
division were establishing themselves
on a new line, the Depra Dun brigade,
supported by the Jullunder brigade of
the Lahore division, moved to the at
tack of the Bois du Biez, .but was held
up on the line of the River les Layes
by a German post at the bridge, which
enfiladed them and brought them to a
standstill.
"The defended bridge over the River
les Layes and its neighborhood imme
diately assumed considerable im
portance. While the artillery fire was
brought to bear as far as circumstances
would permit on this point, General Sir
Douglas Haig directed the first corps
to dispatch one or more battalions of
the first brigade in support of the
troops attacking the bridge. Three
battalions were thus sent to Riche
bourg St. Vaas.
"Darkness coming on and the enemy
having brought up reinforcements, no
further progress could be made and the
Indian corps and the fourth corps pro
ceeded to consolidate the position they
had gained.
Wires Stop Attackers.
"Whilst the operations, which I have
thus briefly reported, were going on,
the first corps delivered an attack In
the morning from Glvenchy simulta
neously with that against Neuve Cha
pelle, but as the enemy's wire was in
sufficiently cut little progress could be
made and the troops at this point did
little more than hold fast to the Ger
mans in front of them.
"On March II the fourth and Indian
corps attacked the enemy, but it was
soon seen that a further advance would
be impossible until the artillery had
dealt effectively with the various
houses and defended localities which
had held tho troops up along the en
tire front. Efforts were made to direct
the artillery fire accordingly, but ow
ing to the weather conditions, which
did not permit of aerial observations,
and the fact that nearly all the tele
phonic communications between the ar
tillery observers and the batteries had
been cut, it was impossible to do so
with sufficient accuracy.
"When our troops, which were press
ingforw.ird, occupied a house here and
there it waj not possible to stop our
artillery fire and the infantry had to
be withdrawn. The two principal
points which barred the advance were
the same ss on the preceding day,
namely the enemy's position about Mou
lin du Pietre and at the bridge over
the River Les Layes.
"On March li the -same unfavorable
conditions as regards the weather pre
vailed and hampered the artillery
again, although the fourth and Indian
corps gallantly attempted to capture
strongly-fortified positions on their
front. They were unable to maintain
themselves, although they succeeded in
holding the positions for some hours.
Germans Easily Repulsed.
"The operations on this day were
chiefly remarkable for the violent coun
ter attacks, supported by artillery,
which were delivered by the Germans,
and the ease with which they were re
pulsed. "As most of the objects for which
the operations had been undertaken had
been attained, and as there were rea
sons why I considered it advisable to
continue the attack at that time, I di
rected General Sir Douglas Haig. on
the night of March 12, to hold and con
solidate the ground which had been
gained by the fourth and Indian corps,
and suspend further offensive opera
tions for the present.
"On the morning of March 12 I in
formed the general of ficer" commanding
the French army that he could call on
the second cavalry division under Gen
eral Gough for immediate support in
the event of the success of the first
army opening up opportunities for its
favorable employment. This division
and a brigade of the North Midland
division, which was temporarily at
tached to it, was moved forward for
this purpose. The fifth cavalry brigade
under Sir Philip Chetwode reached the
Rue Bacquerot at 4 P. M. with a view
of rendering immediate support, but he
'was informed by the general officer
commanding the fourth corps that the
situation was not as favorable as he
had hoped it would be and that no
further action by the cavalry was ad
visable. His command, therefore, re
tired to Estaires.
"The artillery of all kind.? was
handled with the utmost energy and
skill and rendered invaluable support
in the prosecution of the attack."
General French closes his description
of the battle by quoting extracts from
the special order of the day, expressing
to General Sir Douglas Haig the warm
est appreciation for the skillful man
ner In which he carried out his orders,
and the commander-in-chief's fervent
appreciation of the magnificent ' gal
lantry displayed by all the ranks of
the first army.
The commander-in-chief then de
scribes briefly the action of St. Eloi
and minor operations. He pays tribute
to the work of the flying corps
throughout the period under review
from February 2 to April 6. Besides
close reconnaissances, its work in
cluded the destruction of various points
of the German communication, most of
which. General French says, were "at
tacked from a. height of 100 to 150 feet.
In one case . pilot descended to about
60 feet above the point he was attacking.-
"There have been only eight days
during the period under review," Gen
eral French continues. "on which
reconnaissances have not been made. A
total of approximately 130,000 miles
has been flown, almost entirely over
the enemy's lines."
Senator Money of Misftlmippt once Sfked
an old colore! man what breed of chickens
he ronsMered beat, and he replied: "Ail
kinds has merits. D w'ite ones is ne
easiest to find, but de Mack ones is de
easiest to hide after you gits 'era."
JEWS SAY RUSSIA
STILL PERSECUTES
Civilized World Called On to
Protest Against Contin
ued Cruelties.
BARBARITIES ARE CITED
Wounded Jewish Soldiers forced to
Return to Pale Three Days
, After Suffering Amputations.
Spy Charges Denounced.
NEW YORK, April 15. Five Ameri
can Jewish workmen's organizations is
sued a joint statement here today
branding as false the recent denial bjr
the Russian government of charges that
Jews in Russia , had been persecuted
during the war.
The statement asserts that the facts
prove that Russian Jews have been the
victims of cruelty by the Russian sol
diery and calls upon the civilized world
to "protest against the policy of the
Russian government, which has only
one aim in view to exterminate the
Jewish race." Of this the Russian peo
ple themselves, it is explained, are not
accused.
300,000 Workinsmen Represented.
The five organizations are the United
Hebrew Trades, Jewish National Work
ers' Alliance of America, Jewish Social
ist labor party, Jewish Socialist Fed
eration of America and the Workmen's
Circle, who represent, they say, 300.006
workingmen in the United States.
"Thousands of Jewish citizens in
New York have received private let
ters, in which detailed descriptions of
the most cruel deeds of the Russian
soldiery were reported," says the
statement, which adds that facts that
have been published in the news
papers, "under the severest Russian
censorship," are alone sufficient to
refute the denials of the Russian gov
ernment. As Instances, the statement cites
the following: . . .
"Jews who fled from their homes
near the war zone and sought refuge
in towns outside the pale of settlement
were expelled by the police and com
pelled to return to their war-stricken
places.
Wounded Jews Badly Treated.
"Jewish wounded soldiers who were
brought from the battlefield to hos
pitals outside the pale of settlement
had to return to the pale of settlement
as soon as they could crouch along on
crutches. In many cases they were
transported to the pale of settlement
on the third day after the amputation
of one of their limbs.
"Russian-Jewish newspapers, which
have reached New Tork recently, con
firmed the report that the Russian
army administration has expelled all
Jews from Polish towns within 40
miles of the border. Tens of thousands
of Jews had been completely ruined
and dozens of whole Jewish communi
ties devastated. The reason for these
wholesale expulsions was the terrible
general charges brought against the
Jews that they were German-Austrian
spies. These ill-founded charges were
made public by the Russian authorities
with the result that the Russian masses
and the Russian soldiery became in
furiated against the Jews.
Newspapers Severely Censored.
"The official Russian press bureau
in denying the accusations refers to
the singular report of a Russian Jew
ish newspaper, in which it was said
that a prominent Jew, when visiting
the Russian battle line, did not see
anything that could be characterized as
ill-will against the Jews. The press
bureau omits to mention that all Jew
ish newspapers in Russia are subject
to the most severe censorship and thus
have no opportunity of publishing
truthful reports.
"Russian censorship makes it impos
sible for the Jewish press to place on
record pograms and persecutions of
Jews in Russia. On the other side it
must be recognized that the general
American press and even many French
and English papers are well informed
of what is going on in Russian Poland
and Galicia and to what an extent the
Jews suffer there from Russian cruelty
and barbarism."

REPRISAL MEANS ASKED
America to Keport on German Retal
iation. .
WASHINGTON, April 15. Ambassa
dor Gerard at Berlin has been instruct
ed by the State Department to call on
agents of the Embassy looking after
the interests of the allied prisoners in
Germany to report what measures of
reprisal the German government is tak
ing on English prisoners in return for
the treatment which the British gov
ernment has accorded to captured crews
of German submarines.
This action was taken at the request
of the British government, directed to
Ambassador Page in London.
As the State Department already has
undertaken to. meet a request of the
German government to learn the pre
cise conditions under w.hich the Ger
man submarine crews are now held in
England, .it is believed American in
vestigators twill have full opportunity
to make similar inquiries in Germany.
In the absence of knowledge, it is
Inferred exaggerated reports have
reached Germany regarding the treat
ment of captured German submarine
sailors in England. Members of the
American Embassy in London, who are
looking after the welfare of the Ger
man prisoners, have made no report,
but it is understood no special hard
ships are being suffered by these pris
oners. They have not been granted
the same measure of liberty in the
prison enclosures as other German
prisoners, but aside from rather strict
confinement to quarters, it is not
known that any different conditions
exist in their case.
The British government has made no
promise regarding the final disposi
tion of the submarine crews, however,
and the State Department has taken
notice of a demand in some quarters
in England for their punishment as
pirates because of their alleged dis
regard for the lives of non-combatants
in their campaign against merchant
shipping. This is understood to have
prompted the German threat of reprisal
to which Great Britain has now drawn
attention.
RIG0LETT0"WELL8UNG
OPERA SIVtiERS DELIGHT CROWDS
THAT FILI BAKER THEATER.
Sylva Appears in New Role and Does so
Well Audience la Charmed.
"Faust" B1U Tonight.
'Wednesday night the Italian Grand
Opera Company scored another artistic
success in "Rigoletto," with De Folco,
Schinetti and Sylva in the roles of the
Duke of Mantua, Gilva and Rigoletto.
This was the first appearance of
Slyvia in the title role; the two former
times it was presented Bennyan sang
the part. Between the two noted ar
tists it is difficult to draw a compari
son, so perfectly was the role ren
dered by both.
The audience last night was raised
to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, es
pecially by the duet in the second act.
De Folco's "Donna e Mobile," and the
classic quartet. By some error in the
advance announcements "Traviata" was
expected by many last night, but it is
safe to warrant that none was disap
pointed after hearing the magnificent
production of "Rigoletto" instead.
Tonight the company will sing
"Faust." Keenest interest is felt in
this first performance of the great
Gounod masterpiece, largely on account
of the fact that the role of Mephisto
is to be sung by Olinto Lombard!, who
achieved the greatest success of his
career in it at the "Scala dl Milano" in
Italy, where all the foremost operatic
singers in the world entered into the
limelight of international fa.me.
With Ingar .is P'aust, Schinetti a
Warguerita, Bennyan as Valentine,
Luisa Cecchetti as Siebel and Mackie as
Martha, this will be one of the strong
est combinations of the season, and the
advance sale indicates there will not be
a vacant seat in the theater. Of all
the operas in the repertoire the Faust
music Is perhaps the most familiar and
most ' generally beloved. The Jewel
Song, La 7-avatina, the Spinning Song,
the beautiful love scene in the garden.
the death of Valentine, the soldiers.
chorus and 'the ascencion trio, are all
gems that never fail to appeal to the
heart, and music lovers are eagerly
waiting to hear them.
Tonight is expected to be the crown
ing event of the season thus far. To
morrow night "11 Trovatore" will be
heard again, followed by "Traviata"
Saturday matinee, and the last perform
ance of "Aida" Saturday night. The
repertoire following these will be an
nounced later.
