For rome peculiar reason one of the hardest things to do here is to find out from tho American ambulance what our Americans at the front in ambulance are doing. I'ractically the only source of Infor mation is the heads of ambulance at Keuilly, for the men at the front are away from Paris for months at a time and those at N'euilly seem determined to hide all their brave deeds at the front. Yet, the ambulance is the great est American undertaking in France today and it has at the front 25 young Americans who freely offer every day their lives in the .service of France. They are truly heroes. It is no ex aggeration to apply that name to them. lcn Ordered to Sew Kront. Two months ago these 25 Americans were with one field section of the American Ambulance at Pont-a-Mous-son, where they had been for several months, but on February 17 they were ordered down to a point near Verdun. They climbed into the 20 automobile ambulances and started on the road thinking they were going to . a few weeks of well earned rest, but when they approached Verdun, the roads crowded with columns of marching troops and long trains of supply wagons told them it was not for rest but for work that they had been trans ferred. They made camp in a small village Just outside Verdun and next three days were spent in organizing field hospital and ambulance service. The battle opened on February 21. There has not been a day since then that these Americans have not been under fire. Their ambulances have been riddled with bullets and shrapnel. Their drivers have guided their ma chines night and day through rain of German shells, but despite all dangers they have kept steadily an average of 17 ambulances in service. 1IOO Transported In Week. In the first seven days of the great battle 17 American ambulances made 17.000 kilometers, nearly 10,000 miles along shell-swept roads, transporting 1100 wounded. For five days the drivers never left their cars night or day, and in the last two days of the seven they got their first sleep of that week four hours a day for two days. Twice on each trip from the base to the front lines they drove through the streets of Verdun with shells falling on every side, yet not one driver faltered, not one car was lost, not one wounded man failed to arrive safely at the base. Five kilometers of their route was over a road in full view of the German artillery observers and that stretch was constantly under German fire. These young Americans only put on top speed and bounded along that five-kilometer stretch into shell-holes and out, racing with the German gunners for the lives of wounded men. Drivers Outwit Conner. There Is not one of the cars but which bears scars of the trip through the village either marks of shells or fragments of houses sent flying through the air. The trip through the village was a game between the Germans and the Americans. The drivers would shoot across the open space and then jam on the brakes, stopping short behind the first house. They would wait for the first shell to explode in the street, then make off at top speed, racing for the other end of the. village before the second shell could arrive.

OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS German. -I v ERLIX, via London, April 12. r The text of today's German of- ficial statement is: ."Western theater A night sortie by a small German detachment against an t-nglisn position near La Boiselle, southeast nf Alhrt rfiiiltH in 9ft prisoners and one machine gun being brought in. There was no loss to us. "To the west of the Meuse the French vainly attacked our lines northeast of Avocourt. In other directions they limited their efforts to a lively artil lery fire. "On the eastern bank of the- Meuse three counter-attacks on the Foivre ridge, prepared by a lively fire, caused the enemy severe losses without ad vantage. On two occasions the storm ing troops were unable to penetrate the region covered by our curtain of fire. The third assault broke down com pietely before our entanglements, as the result of machine-gun fire. In Caillette wood, in spite of the stubborn defense, we gained som ground at one or two places. "In the aerial engagements, a Krencti aeroplane was shot down near Ornes, in the Woevre. The pilot was killed. "Eastern theater near Garbunowka, northwest of Dvinsk, Russian night at tacks by several companies were re pulsed." Krencb. PARIS. April 12. The text of today's official communication by the War Of fice is: "On the left bank of the Meuse the Germans this morning delivered an at tack on our positions at the Caurettes wood, between Le Morte Homme and Cumieres, in which they made use of flaming liquids. They were every where repulsed. "On the right bank of the river, there has been great artillery activity between Douaumont and Vaux. but last night saw no resumption of tho in fantry fighting at this point. "It has been confirmed that the vio lent offensive action yesterday after noon at 4 o'clock in this sector, which was repulsed by us, cost the enemy heavy losses." Turkish. CO.VSTA'TINOPLK, via Berlin. April 12. The text of the official communi cation issued today by the War De partment is: "Irak front The British again were bloodily defeated near Felahie on April 9. After one hour and a half of heavy fcrtillery preparation, the enemy at tacked with all of his forces our posi tions near Felahie. The battle lasted six hours. "The enemy at the beginning of the engagement succeeded in entering par tially our trenches, but the Turkish troops killed with the bayonet those who reached the trenches. The re maining enemy troops were driven back to their trenches. "In the Turkish trenches and before them more than 3000 dead enemies were counted. "Of the enemy troops, the British Thirteenth Division, composed exclu sively of troops which had fought at the Dardanelles, suffered mostly." Italian. ROME, via London. April 12. The following official communication was issued today: "In the Ledro Valley, by methodical offensive operations, we advanced our occupation to the heights north of Rio ponale, between the Concei Valley and Garda. Our infantry, with efficacious support of the artillery, took by assault a strong line of trenches and redoubts along the southern elopes of Monte Pari and Cinnadoro and on the rocks of Monte Sperone. The enemy defenders, after sustaining heavy losses, profiting by the nature of the ground, succeeded in retiring. We took 20 prisoners. "Intense artillery action continues ANSWER IS RECEIVED Great Britain Fails to Satisfy as to the China. LONDON CHARGES INTRIGUE Washington, However, Insists Sub jects of Belligerents Slay Not Be Removed From American Vessels on High Seas. WASHINGTON. April 12. Secretary Lansing announced late today that Great Britain's note on the seizure of 28 Austrians, Germans and Turks from the American steamer China near Shanghai does not close the case to the satisfaction of the United States. It was said at the State Department that the seizure probably would be the subject of further correspondence soon. Secretary Lansing is of the opinion that there is no precedent which would uphold Great Britain's attempt to Justify the seizures on the ground that the men had engaged in plots in the Far East and were on their way to Manila to continue their efforts against the allies. The position of the United States is that subjects of a belligerent govern ment may not be removed from an American vessel on the high seas even though they properly may be con sidered military persons, but not actually members of the armed forces. In its note the British government alleges that the prisoners were "en gaged for some time in collection and transmission of arms and ammunition for clandestine transmission to India," and if possible for arming a ship to play the part of a Far Eastern Moewe, and were bound for Manila to continue their work, having been exposed to the British authorities at Shanghai. The neutrality of the United States would have been compromised, the note con tends, had the prisoners performed the acts they contemplated. Their acts, it is contended, deprived them of protec tion from the American flag under which they were sailing. The British government argues that the removals were justified and trusts that the United States will not feel further disposed to contest the action. "The present war has shown," says the note, "that the belligerent activity of the enemies of this country is by no means confined to the actual theaters of military and naval operations and that there is no limit to the methods by which Germany in particular seeks to secure a victory for her arms. The hostile efforts of the enemy have shown and continue to show themselves on neutral soil in many parts of the world in political intrigues, revolutionary plots, schemes for attacking the sea trade of this country and her allies, endeavors to facilitate the operations of ships engaged in this task and in criminal enterprises of different kinds directed against the property of neu trals and belligerents alike." The note refers in general terms to unneutral plots In the United States, particularly the Fay caBe. fruit Shippers Pay $231,679. TACOMA. April 12,-Durins the year between the Adige River and Brenta and along the leonzo front. "The effective fire of our batteries has prevented the enemy from repair ing the Luserna fortress in the Upper Astico Valley and destroyed revictual- llng depots at Santa Caterina and L'g gowita in the Fella Valley." Austrian. BERLIN. April 12. (By wireless to Sayville, N. Y.) The official statement Issued today at the Austro-Hungarian neaaquarters at Vienna says: "Italian front Lively artillery duels are going on in several sectors. Near Rlva the enemy was ejected from sev eral sailent trenches and one defensive wall south of Perone. which had been occupied by him. The Italian attack thus ended in a complete failure." Wed need y' War Moves THE Germans northwest of Verdun evidently are holding in leash their Infantry for fresh attacks In their en deavors to capture Hill 304 and Le Mort Homme, key points which are tenaciously barring their way to the fortress. The infantry has remained idle in their trenches, while the bier guns are showering shells on the region ei bracing the triangle formed by Hill 304, Esnes and Le Mort Homme. Not even a sally by the Germans in this district is reported in the latest French orricial communication. Comparative quiet prevails to the east ot the Meuse around Douaumont and vaux, where there recently has been such vicious fighting. No in iantry atacks have been made by either side, and the activity of the artillery has been less marked than on previous days. Mining operations and grenade fight ing have taken place in the Argonne forest, during which the French cap tured the southern edges of two cra ters near Les Courtes Chaussees. The Germans along the Pllkelm- 1 pres road, after three atacks. invaded British trenches, but were quickly ex pelled from them, while the British successfully raided German trenches near Rlchebourg-LAvoue. The British official communication says the Cana dians in their gallant fighting during the past week hare inflicted heavy losses on the Germans near St. Eloi. In the Russian theater there have been artillery duels and infantry at tacks at various places. On the Auslro- Italian front the Italians have taken from the Austrians the heights north of Rioponale and strong lines of trenches and redoubts on the south ern slopes of Monte Pari and Cinni daro and on the rocks of Monte Sperone the Austrian are suffering heavy cas ualties. Elsewhere along the line the artillery duels continue. Dispatches from Saloniki report a recrudescence of the artillery fighting on the Greek front between Gievgeli and Doiran. In Asiatic Turkey, Petro grad reports a continuation of the Russian advance west of Erzerum. The Turks, however, in the region of Bu lls, took the offensive against the in vaders, but all their attacks were re pulsed. Although the Turks report a serious defeat near. Felahie of the British ad vancing to the relief of General Town- ehend's forces beleagured in Kut-el-Amara, a dispatch is said to have been received in South Africa from General Townshend saying that he was well and expecting relief shortly. Gold, silver and paper money and all negotiable instruments and realizable securities have been placed on the con traband list by Great Britain. 1915 the Puyallup and Sumner Fruit Growers' Association paid out $130,850 for express charges and $100,829 for freight, or a total of $231,679 for the shipment of berries and canned goods. MINE DEAL IS $80,000 Option Filed on Forty Claims to Homestead Copper Holdings. BAKER, Or., April 12. (Special.) One of the largest copper mine deals ever made in Oregon was announced today when the copy of a bond and lease with option to purchase 40 claims in the Homestead district was filed in the County Clerk's office, W. B. Mac dougall, of Homestead, guaranteeing to sell A. M. Swartley, of Corvallis, member Oregon Bureau of Mines. The purchase prise of $80,000 Includes a one-fifth Interest In 10 claims be longing to the native copper group, to gether with two millsites and all the water rights connected with the claims mentioned in the transaction.

Smelter receipts will be divided be tween buyer and seller, Mr. Macdougall to receive 25 per cent. This will be applied on the purchase price, while the 73 per cent share going to Mr. Swartley or to the company operating the property is to put into development work.

The vessel proceeded, however, with out heeding the warning and was therefore forced by the submarine, bv artillery fire, to halt after an extended chase, whereupon she lowered boats without further orders. 'After the German commandant had convinced himself that the crew had taken to the boats and rowed from the ship he sank the steamer. Attack "V.t Established. "Third The British steamer. Man Chester Engineer. It is impossible to establish through the investigation up to the present whether the attack on this steamer, which, according to the description, occurred on March 2-' in the latitude of Waterford, Is attributa ble to a German submarine. The state ment regarding -the time and place of the Incident gives no sufficient basis for investigation. It would be, there fore, desirable to have more exact state ments of the place, time and attendant circumstances of the attack reported by the American Government, In order that the investigation might thereupon be brought to a conclusion. Fourth The British steamer Eagle Point. This steamer in the forenoon of March 28 was called upon to halt by a German submarine through signal and shot about 100 not 130 sea miles from the southwest coast of Ireland, but proceeded. She was thereupon fired upon until halted, and without further orders lowered two boats, in which the crew took their places. After the commandant convinced him self that the boats, which had hoisted sails, had gotten clear of the steamer, he sank the ship. 'At the time of the sinking a north- northwest wind, not 'a storm wind,' and a light swell, not 'a heavy sea' as stated in the given description, pre vailed. The boats therefore had every prospect of being picked up very quickly, because the place of the sink ing lay on a much-used steamer path. If the crew of the steamer used only two small boats for saving them selves, the responsibility falls on them selves, since there were still upon the steamer, as the submarine could estab listi, at least four big, collapsible boats. 'Fifth The French steamer Sussex. Ascertainment of the fact whether the channel steamer Sussex was damaged by a German submarine was rendered extremely difficult, because no exact details of time, place and attendant circumstances of the sinking were known, and also because it was Im possible to obtain a picture of the ship before April 6. Consequently the Investigation bad to be extended to all actions undertaken on the day in ques tion March 24 in the channel in the general region between Folkestone and Dieppe. 'In this region on March 24 a long. black craft without a flag, having a gray funnel, small gray forward works nd two high masts, was encountered about the middle of the English Chan nel by a German submarine. The com mander reached the definite conclusion that it was a war vessel and, indeed, a mine layer of the recently-built Eng lish Arabia class. 'He was led to that conviction by the following facts: First, by the plain, unbroken deck of the ship: second, the form of the stern, sloping downward and backward like a war vessel; third. she was painted like a war vessel: fourth, the high speed developed, about 18 knots; fifth, the circumstance that the vessel did not keep a course north ward of the light buoys between Dun- geness and Beachy Head, which, ac cording to the frequent and unvarying observations of German submarines, is about the course of commercial vessels, but kept in the middle of the channel, on a course about In the direction of Le Havre. Munitions Declared Aboard. 'Consequently, he attacked the ves sel at 3:55 in the afternoon, middle European time, one and one-half sea miles east of Bull Rock (Bullock's) bank, the submarine being submerged. The torpedo struck and caused such a violent explosion In the forward part of the ship that the entire forward part was torn away to the bridge. The particularly violent explosion warrants the certain conclusion that great amounts of munitions were aboard. 'The German commander made a sketch of the vessel attacked by him, two drawings of which are enclosed. The picture of the steamer Sussex, two copies of which also are enclosed, is reproduced photographically from the English paper, The Daily Graphic, of the 27th ultimo. 'A comparison of the sketch and the picture shows that the craft attacked is not identical with the Sussex; the difference in the position of the stack and the shape of the stern is particu larly striking. 'No other attack whatever by Ger man submarines at the time in ques- lon-for the Sussex upon the route be ween Folkestone and Dieppe occurred. The German government must there fore assume that the injury to the Sussex is attributable to another cause than an attack by a German submarine. "For an explanation of the case the fact may perhaps be serviceable that no fewer than 26 English mines were exploded by shots by German naval forces in the channel on the first and second of April alone. The entire sea in that vicinity is, in fact, endangered by floating mines and by torpedoes that have not sunk. Off the English coast it is further endangered in an increasing degree through German mines which have been laid against enemy naval forces. Further Material Asked For. Should the American Government haw at its disposal further material for a conclusion upon the case of the Sussex, the German government would ask that it be communicated in order to subject this material also to an in- estigation. "In the event that differences of opin ion should develop hereby between the two governments, the German govern ment now declares itself ready to have the facts of the case established through mixed commissioners of in vestigation in accordance with the third article of The Hague agreement for the peaceful settlement of International conflicts November 18, 1907. "The undersigned, while requesting hat you communicate the above to tn-j Government of the United States, takes occasion to renew to the Ambassador he assurance of his distinguished esteem.
