T
lYoncli Ivose Advanced Trenches in
Champagne At Other Points
Artillery Fire Is Intense, but
Is Xot Followed Up.
PARIS, April 28. The offensive as
sumed by the Germans 4n the Yprcs
resrion has frlvcn rise to the report that
they' are about to undertake, another
carefully planned attempt to force their
way to Calais. Military authorities are
cautious, however, in accepting this
suggestion as an explanation for the
Germans' recent activity.
The magnitude of the forces concen
trated by the Germans on such a limited
front cannot be explained, it is be
lieved here, bv a mere desire to keep
the allies active. The opinion is ex
pressed that it was and perhaps still is
their purpose to break a larse gap in
the allies' lines preparatory, to a more
Important undertaking. ,
Kreneli I. one Trench in Champagne.
The following official statement was
Issued by the War Office tonight:
"The day has been relatively calm
in Belgium, with no modification in the
situation. We have retained the
Bround which we regained in the last
three days.
In Champagne the Germans took
from us in the region of Beausejour 300
meters of advanced trenches. We have
retaken half of them.
"In the Argonne near Marie Therese
an attack attempted by the Germans
was immediately checked by our tire.
At I-.es Kparges the enemy has bom
barded but delivered no further at
tacks. "The same thing has occurred at
llartmann's-Weilerkopf. The Germans
have directed an intense fire against
the summit, but made no attack today.
"During the course of the day of
April 27 our aviators launched 32 shells
on the station at rtollweiler (seven miles
northwest of Muelhausen), and 60
shells on the station at Chambley,
where they set fire to a depot of muni
tions. Railway Stations Bombarded.
"The station of Arnaville (on the
Lorraine frontier) and the junction of
the railways of Chambley and Thiau
court have been bombarded at night.
"On April 28 one of our aeroplanes
dropped six projectiles on the hangars
of the dirigibles at Friederichshafen.
The aviator observed clouds of smoke
rising from the roof of one hangar.
Twenty-one shells have been dropped
on the station, the bridges and a fac
tory at Leopoldsche (Baden). In this
bombardment -one of our aeroplanes
fell within the German lines.
"In the course of the day four Ger
man machines were pursued and
reached by our aviators. One fell
' ablaze within the lines of the enemy
near Brimont. Two others came to the
earth near our trenches one in Cham
pagne and the other in the region of
Ancrea and were destroyed by our ar
tillery. The fourth fell within our lines
at Muizon, west of Khelms. The two
German aviators who wera not wound
ed were taken prisoners."
Progress Made IVear Vpres.
The earlier French .official report
today said:
"North of Ypres we have continued
to make progress. This is particularly
so on our left, where we took six ma
chine guns, two ' bomb throwers and
much war material, at the same time
making several hundred prisoners. In
cluding a number of officers.
"The losses of the enemy were heavy.
At a single point ofi the front not far
from the canal we counted over 600
bodies of German soldiers.
"On the heights of the Meuse along
the front of Les Eparses-Saint Ren-.y,
the trench of Calonne, we continued to
gain, advancing about one kilometer
(two-thirds of a mile), inflicting very
heavy losses on the enemy and destroy
ing a German battery."
BlilTISII ATTACKS rtEPCIiSED
Germans !?ay Attempts to Regain
Lost Ground Failed.
BERLIN1, via London, April 28. The
German General Staff today gave out
the following official report on the
fighting in the west:
"Tha English attempted yesterday to
recapture the territory which they they
had lot in Flanders. In the after
noon, they commenced an attack on
both sides of the Ypres-Pilkit high
road, but the attack broke down com
pletely 200 meters in front of our posi
tlon.-.
"A second English advance further to
the east during the evening nad the
same result. Here also the enemy suf
fered heavy losses. The . enemy iid
not attack on the western bank of the
canal.
"In the Champagne district an ex
tensive French ground of fortifications
was taken byus by storm during the
night north of Le Mesnil and success
fully defended and maintained against
several counter-attacks. The enemy
again suffered heavy losses, 60 un-
wounded Frenchmen, four machine
guns and 13 mine throwers falling into
our hands.
"Between the Meuse and the Moselle
only fierce artillery battles took place.
A strong French night attack in Le
Pretre wood was repulsed with san
guinary losses.
"After their unsuccessful advances of
April 26 the French have made no
more fresh attempts to attack our po
sitions on Hartmans-Weilerkopf.
"At Altkirch one of our aviators
brought down a French aeroplane.
"The French assert they have recap
tured Hartmans-Weilerkopf, which we
took away from them on April 25.
In reality no attacks at all have been
made since the unsuccessful attempts
to recapture the summit on the aft-
ernon of April 26. Therefore, the
summit Is In our possession.
"The British report says that the
French, advancing on the left wing
of the British, have recaptured the vll
lrge of Het Sas, in Flanders. In reality
neither was this village1 attacked yes
terday. Furthermore, the British re
port says that the German report re
garding the capture of four British
etins is not correct. It Is a pity for
the British army administration that
it is so badly Influenced by Its sub
ordinates, although It Is easily under
stood that the regular transmission of
reports may be somewhat disorganized
bv the speed with which the British
troops left the battle field on the 25th.
According to the inscription they bear,
the captured guns belong to the Sec
ond London Garrison Artillery and
fJecond London Territorial Division.
Thry are 12.8 centimeter guns, which
will make their presence on our side
clearly known to our opponents in the
near future.'

DANCING IS REMEDY
Devotees Free From Divorce
Evil, Says Author.
NEW PLAN IS ATTRACTIVE
Mrs. Walter Pulitzer Is Invited to
Establish Custom in San Fran
cisco as She Did for New
York' Society Folk.
NEW TORIC, April 28. (Special.)
A signal honor lias been paid to Mrs.
Walter Pulitzer, of New York, wife of
the well-known author and journalist,
in the shape of an invitation from the
Pacific Coast to come to San Francisco
to head a movement to establish a
mammoth dance palace for society folk
during the exposition. If it proves as
successful as Airs. Pulitzer's New York
dances, which were held at the Hotel
Biltmore till April 2o, it may become a
permanent feature.
Jlrs. Pulitzer was one of the first
to see the possibilities of the dance
vogue and her dances, on account of
their distinctiveness and original
features, have been the talk of smart
people in the Fast. She says that the
present dance craze will ultimately
prove a cure for the divorce evil, as
with greater freedom in the participa
tion of harmless pastime (such as ball
room dancing) fewer husbands and
wives will go wrong. -
"Within a year or so a great change
has taken place," added Mrs. Pulitzer.
"The one-time jealous husband no
longer keeps his wife at home to mope
her evening away while he goes oft and
enjoys himself at the club. Instead he
accompanies her to a dance where he
lets her dance with his friends and he
feels free to dance with the prettiest
maid or matron on, the . floor. Any
wife would rather see this than know
that her husband is secretly making
love to some woman. It is' also better
than carousing in. cafes.
"On the whole I consider the present
dance craze a decided force for the
betterment of matrimonial morals."

More Than 70 0 Men Arc Aboard
,AVhcn Warship Is Blown Up Ofr
Coast of Brindisi, Italy Com
mander - Goes Willi Ship..
BRINDISI, Italy, April 2", via -Paris,
April 28. The French cruiser 'Leon
Gambetta has been torpedoed by the
Austrian submarine U-5 in the' Strait
of Otranto, the waterway leading to
the Adriatic Sea,
The first report of the destruction
of this cruiser came from the men on
duty at the semaphore station of Santa
Maria Leuca. These men at once gave
the alarm and vessels were sent out
to the aid of the Leon Gambetta from
Brindisi, Taranto, Otranto and Bari.
Since the beginning of Anglo-French
operations against the Dardanelles,
French warships in the Adriatic have
limited their activities to watching the
I Strait of Otranto with the idea of pre
venting any Austrian submarine trom
escaping from the Adriatic, at the head
of which is Pola, the Austrian naval
base, and reaching the coast of Tur
key. This patrol duty was particularly
to protect the vessels of the allies op
erating against the Dardanelles.
Submarine Lies in Walt.
The submarine which attacked the
Leon Gambetta came from Cattaro, on
the eastern coast of the Adriatic, an
Austrian port about 300 miles from
Santa Maria Leuca Point. This distance
could have been traveled by the sub
marine in about 20 hours. ,
Three French cruisers were ' last
night watching the strait between the
Island of Corfu and the Italian coast.
It appeared that the U-B took up a
position about half way between Santa
Maria Leuca and the Greek Island of
Othoni. There the craft waited for its
prey, and, when the opportunity offered,
discharged its torpedo against the Ieon
Gambetta, which was one of three
French cruisers doing patrol duty.
It is believed the Leon Gambetta had
on board a crew numbering 714 men,
including 22 officers. A majority of
the men were asleep at the time the
cruiser was sunk. -
Austrian Kleet Watched.
From information gathered from va
rious sources it is possible to construct
the storv of the disaster as follows:
The Leon Gambetta parted company
with the French cruiser Jules Ferry
last night to cross the Strait of
Otranto. with a view to co-operating
with other French ships in an attempt
to block the Austrian fleet If it should
seek to leave the Adriatic. This was
not an unusual maneuver, as the Leon
Gambetta has. for months, been going
up and down the coast.
The sea was .perfectly, calm and tho
rrioon shone, brightly. Although the
Leon Gambetta'" showed no lights and
adopted the other -customary precau
tions, there was no suspicion of danger.
At midnight-the warship was about
20 miles from Cape Santa Maria Leuca.
The lookout could : see distinctly the
lights on the Italian coast. At sea
nothing appeared on the horizon. -
Suddenly there was a f earful . explo
sion, which shook the cruiser fore and
aft. Officers and men remained calm
and, the survivors say, their first
thought was not for their own safety,
but rather to detect and attack- their
assailant. 'They .scanned the sea for a
periscope, but in vain.
As the cruiser was listing rapidly,
the commander gave, orders that sig
nals for help besent and that the boats
be lowered. It proved to be most dif
ficult to lower the boats, owing to
the position of the ship in the water.
Some of the men leaped overboard in
the bare hope of saving themselves.
Others were washed off the deck. Tho
commander, although urged to abandon
his shrp, refused to do so.
