The Germans have maintained a strong offensive all along the line in Flanders and France today. They have gained a foothold on Hill 60, according: to the British official report, end have attacked in the vicinity of Tpres, bHt rather-f eebly.

Attnck East of Yprea Repulned. "A feeble attack, preceded by an ex tensive use of poisonous gas, was made east of Ypres and was easily repuls ed, our artillery inflicting severe losses on the enemy. "In the neighborhood of Glvenchy, the eGrmans exploded a mine and again employed poisonous gases. Four men were poisoned, but otherwise the enemy's efforts in this direction failed coniplstely." The following official communication was issued by the French war office at Paris tonight: "In Belgium the day has been calm. On Ti'-asUoy nitrht we captured a Ger man trench and pushed our lines for ward between Lizer and TIetsas, of which we are still wasters. The enemy made no counter-attack. "In Champagne, to the west of Terthes, an attempt to attack by the Germans was completely checked and the same thing occurred in the Ar gonne at Four de Paris. "Home spirited actions have taken jilxre between the Meuse and the Mo-, selle. At 4 o'clock in the morning the enemy strongly bombarded our posi tions at Les Kparges and the trench of Calonne. About JO o'clock he at tacked at the latter point, but his check was complete. Our fire arrest ed him in front of our first line, which remained intact. The eGrman losses were high and we made some progress. Gorman Guln Bat Lose Again. In the morning likewise, three regi ments of the enemy advancing together attacked the position recently captured by us near the Ailly Wood, particularly that part to the east of the wood and the open ground o the ridge to the southwest. By this attack they suc ceeded in gaining a foothold in our first lino, but a counter-attack enabled us almost Immediately to re-occupy half of the ridge. We have maintained ourselves there and toward tho end of the day we delivered a second counter attack, the result of w hich is not yet known. This was for the purpose of retaking the rest of the positions which the Germans had penetrated. t "In the Montmare wood we gained a characteristic success in carrying two successive lines of German trenches to the ea.st of the positions previously captured by us near the road from Flirey to Esscy. Wo immediately joined theso trenches to our own lines a ad we strengthened ourselves there. Counter-Attacks. Are Repulsed, i "Three counter attacks were direct d against us in the course of the day, but these were completely repulsed with heavy losses to the enemy in killed and prisoners. "in Alsace, on the north bank of the Fecht River, we continue to gain ground. This morning we took pos session of Mamelon, east of Sillaker wuser (Hill 850).

A SCAluE, Z ll v - .am v:-.- o;.:iMr-. a The allies' expedition to European Turkey is known to have been preparing for at least two months past, and more than two' weeks ago an unofficial German report, purporting to emanate from Constanti nople, described the landing of 20,000 troops at Enos (A) in Thrace. Thia point, however, is across the Gulf of Saros, and nearly 50 miles from the Gallipoli Peninsula (B), where, it now appears, the ex pedition has landed under the guns of the allied fleet. A report from a British correspondent officially accredited to the expedition, mentions the landing of parties who examined the silenced Turkish forts at Sed dul Bahr and Kum Kale, near the mouth of the straits. The advanced base of the expedition is the Island of Lemnos (C), which was seized by landing parties from the fleet last Winter, be cause of its habor, where transports may lie. A recent German re port said that So. 000 men had landed on this island, but there are probably many more there now. V Chemicals Exported and Food Is Still Imported. NORSE VESSELS ARE USED American Business Firms Are Re ceiving Supplies . From I.neheck, Which Is Becoming' Father land's Busiest Seaport. LUEBECK, Germany, April 25. Ger many's export trade is popularly sup posed to be .dead. That, however, is an illusion that would be shattered by a visit to Luebeck, or that could be shattered by American business firms, shouWi they see fit to admit that they are still importing .chemicals and other necessities from" Germany. From a city of relatively small im portance, on the Baltic Sea, Luebeck has become one of the mpire'a chief centers, its veritable mouth in fact, through which supplies by the ton are entering Germany. He who Relieves Germany is suffering from a lack of food would be interested in the sight of dozens of ships anchored along Lil beck's hurbor, discharging tremendous cargoes. The city's biggest commercial enter prise .is n machine shop where ordi narily only dredgers, boilers and ship machinery are made. They -are all be ing turned out now. but in addition to them are being made tn great quantity the "goulash kanon," as the. Germans' field kitchens are called. Ammunition, too, Is being manufactured. There is a popular impression that there exists a shortage of tin In Ger many. There is no evidence of it. however, at Luebeck's big cannery, where tins are being turned out by the thousands. , One gets just an inkling of the fact that German trade with America is not dead entirely by watching the output of one big stamping machine in the cannery. Through this machine the platea of tin are atamped with the words and trade-marks they are to bear when finally made into boxes, and one machins is busy turning out tins bearing Knglish words. The tin peo ple admit that nothing is going to England. From great scows there are loaded onto the Norwegian and Swedish steamers cargoes of chemicals. ENMITIES NOT LASTING ANTI-GERMAN" LEAGUE FROWNED OS IN GREAT BRITAIN. Orsanlzera Told They Ilring Ridicule on Country in Talking of Re prisals After War .Is Over. LONDON, April 15. (Correspond ence of the Associated Press.) The at tempt to start a.movement to keep up antagonism to OVrmany after the war has failed to make any headway or even to interest the British public. There arje two of these movements, one called the anti-German League and the other the British Patriotio League. The anti-German League alms to get sig natures to this promise: "We, the undersigned, agree together to use our best efforts to combat Ger man trade and influence in Great Britain and undertake to emply no German labor in our offices or homes, nor handle, knowingly, anything which. Is of German make, or origin. We will deal with no shops, banks or hotels where German labor is employed or German goods sold." These movements have little press support. The following comment is made on them in the Weekly Dispatch: "It is, of course, all foolish, but the deplorable thing about this league is that the promoters conscientiously be lieve they are serving a great public purpose, whereas they are doing noth ing more and certainly nothing less than bringing ridicule on the country. If they were not so terribly serious and were not so full of new-born German hatred they would see to what absurd ities they commit their intending mem bers. , "The wholo thing is an outrage on common sense and on national dignity. We want no anti-German leagues or leagues to prevent Englishmen from doing busines with or talking to Ger mans. We want leagues to get soldiers to defeat Germany, crush Prussian militarism, and allcw the subdued common sense and humanity of the German nation to reassert itself. We want leagues to accentuate the mag nificent impression made by the King's example in banning the consumption 6f wine, spirits and beer in the royal GERMAN GOODS SAIL S- -K VijH .J X J 5 go t f Tfins : residences. We want leagues to en courage the workmen in our ammuni tion factories to increase their output, leagues to deepen the national effi ciency for the purpose of the war on which our whole future depends." BRITISH- BUILD WIRELESS Powerful Plant Is Being Installed on Island of Jamaica. NEW YORK, May 5. To supply a need felt by the British navy, a power ful wireless station is being built on the highlands of the Island of Jamaica, 3000 feet above the level of 'the sea, according to Rev. George B. Stall worthy, a Unitarian clergyman, who arrived here today aboard the steamer Juan, after a five months' visit to the island. Mr. iStallworthy said 300 men had been working on the plant for two months. No details as to its equip ment or range had been permitted to become public except that it would be exceedingly powerful with a long radius of effectiveness.

The company is, therefore, opposed to em ployes affiliated with an organization which might call a sympathetic strike. If there is to be any strike on this rail road, the management believes that it should be the result of the choice of Its own employes and because of some dif ference between this company and its own men, and for no other reason." "Is your company always in a state of preparedness for any industrial war fare that might spring up," asked Mr. Walsh, "such aa having men and arms and clubs on hand?" . '"We are always prepared for any thing the other fellow is getting ready for. I can assure you," Mr. Atterbury replied. "How many rifles do you keep on hand?" "I don't know that we keep any, but we have everything that is legal that it is necessary to keep on hand to keep running our trains." FLEET TAKING SUPPLIES (Continued From First Page.)

Asia Minor, which Turkey is preparing to use as a new capital it Constantinople falls. "Kski - Shehir." the correspondent says, "is 80 miles from the Bosphorus, on the Anatolian Railway. It occupies an excellent strategical posttion. Work is proceeding strenuously to Improve the streets and the sanitary conditions. The government has commandeered 200 houses for official uses. These are now occupied by the families of high gov ernment officials. "The Turks have no fear that the al lies' attempt against the Dardanelles will force the abandonment of Constan tinople. What they fear is a Bulgarian sweep southward. The Dardanelles have been so strengthened and fortified with obstacles that experts . believe it would take an allied military force of at least 300.000 men to carve its way to Constantinople." ; Regarding the campaign in the Cau casus the correspondent says: "The operations are at a standstill, owing to the typhus fever, which kills 150 daily.

NIGHT RIDERS KILL GIRL Negro Woman Beaten for Cruelty to Children, Husband Escapes. PRESCOTT, Ark.. May 1. A party of unidentified white men rode to the home of Smith Briley. a negro, four miles from Prescott last night, pulled Brilej-'s wife from bed and gave her a terrific beating, and then fired several chots into the house. One of the shots struck Briley's daughter, aged II. in the forehead, killing her instantly. Briley fled as soon as he heard the night riders approaching. About six weeks ago Briley and his wife were brought before a local justice and fined $10 and $50, respec tively, for cruelty to their children. They were unable to pay their fines and went to Jail, and the negrass had been released only a few days ago. The only motive the officers can assign for last night's crime is that the night riders believed Briley and his wife had not been punished sufficiently. Neither the negro nor his wife could identify any of. the men in the party. This section has suffered greatly from night riders during the last few months. Last Fall notices were posted on all cotton gins threatening the owners with death unless they ceased operating the gins.
