PARIS, Wpril 11. (Special.) 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.

following official communication was
issued today:
"In the Ledro Valley, by methodical
offensive operations, we advanced our
occupation to the heights north of Rio

Garda. Our infantry, with efficacious
support of the artillery, took by assault

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.

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.

submarine through two warning shots
about 20 miles west of Islay (Hebrides).
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.
